In the Five Elements Sect,

Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua from the outer sect stood on a hilltop and saw the spiritual planter from the spiritual medicine garden explaining the planting techniques to the disciples who were planting spiritual medicines in the spiritual field.

There was only one person in front of him. After Zhang Wanjing's activities, the spiritual medicine garden sent out twelve people. They were not from the sect, but Zhang Wanjing used his personal connections to do it.

"Junior brother doesn't seem to be very satisfied with this result,"

said Zhang Shuhua. He could see that Lin Jiang was very unhappy about this.

"That's right, I'm not happy. Although I listened to Master, I still insist on my own ideas. Master's ideas are too fatherly. You know, it's not that the son will be filial if the father is good to the son. There are many rebellious sons. If we want to be good to people, we must also go through a certain screening."

Lin Jiang expressed his own opinion. Zhang Wanjing was too philanthropic and was a very pure good person, but how many such good people had a good ending from ancient times to the present?

"Junior brother, you said that everyone has their own personality. My father has been like this for hundreds of years and can't change it."

"So the master always suffers losses."

"He doesn't think he suffers losses. People always have to do something when they are alive, not just for cultivation."

"Let's not talk about this. I'm leaving first."

Lin Jiang was a little irritable and left directly. The father and son were of the same character and would not listen no matter what he said. He couldn't persuade them.

"Where are you going, my father is still waiting for our report."

"Write it yourself, I'll go home to retreat."

Lin Jiang waved his hand. He hadn't retreated seriously for several years. In the past few years, he followed Zhang Wanjing and worked during the day and practiced at night. It was very hard, and he wanted to be lazy.

The main reason was that many of his and Zhang Wanjing's concepts were actually contradictory. If this continued, Lin Jiang was afraid that he would be angry to death.

Back to his cave, the big and small sand sculptures gave him a warm welcome. In the past few years, the big and small sand sculptures were basically active in Lin Jiang's cave. Although Lin Jiang's cave was not big, only ten acres, it couldn't let them fly freely, but it was better than the spirit beast bag.

"You two are still the best."

Lin Jiang sighed after teasing them. He now understood why many people like to keep pets such as cats and dogs, because pets are completely dependent on their owners. What the owner says is what it is. How can people be so complicated and annoying.

This desire for control is awesome.

Back to his room, Lin Jiang began to practice. In the past few days, Lin Jiang received the reward that Zhang Wanjing mentioned. A Jindan uncle taught him for a few days and answered all his questions about the Five Spirits Sutra. Lin Jiang suddenly became enlightened and his understanding of the Five Spirits Sutra became much deeper.

"In another two years, I can break through to the middle stage of foundation building. I spent an extra fifty or sixty years, and my cultivation is finally coming back."

Lin Jiang sighed with great emotion. Fifty or sixty years, just for a set of exercises. Many people think this is crazy, but Lin Jiang thinks it is worth it.

A set of exercises that fits you is really too important. It is so smooth to practice. If you look at it in the long run, it is even more important, because a set of exercises that fits you can greatly reduce the probability of falling into a bottleneck.

·······

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. Lin Jiang came out of retreat. Zhang Wanjing didn't say anything. It was normal for cultivators to retreat. Even if they were doing things, they had to take into account their cultivation.

Lin Jiang inquired about the spiritual medicine disciples' affairs. The progress was very smooth and the effect was very good. There was also a survival rate for the cultivation of spiritual medicine. If you planted a hundred trees, half of them might die if you were not skilled. Now the real spiritual planters in the sect gave them technical training, and the first thing to improve was the survival rate of spiritual medicine.

This alone reduced their losses, and Zhang Wanjing was once again well received.

Lin Jiang didn't say much about it. As long as it wasn't a favor or a grudge, it would be fine. Zhang Wanjing could do whatever he wanted.

After coming out of retreat, Lin Jiang's focus was still on himself, and he spent more time on cultivation and drawing talismans.

Lin Jiang's spiritual consciousness far exceeded that of ordinary foundation building, and its strength could support the refining of all second-level spiritual talismans, so Lin Jiang was ready to try the refining of second-level top-grade spiritual talismans.

The price of a second-grade high-quality talisman in the market is 100 spiritual stones at the cheapest, and nearly 3,000 spiritual stones at the most expensive. The price difference is extremely large, depending on the type of talisman.

However, Lin Jiang did not have many second-grade high-quality runes. He originally wanted to go to the sect to exchange some, but he did not expect that he would not be allowed to exchange them. The reason was that he had not done anything in the talisman hall and had not made any contribution to the sect. Even if he had merit points, it would not work. The second-grade high-quality runes were already at the stage where the sect needed to keep them secret.

Lin Jiang also specifically asked Zhao Jiang and others in the talisman hall, and their answers were the same. Only after staying in the talisman hall for a certain number of years and providing a large number of talismans to the talisman hall could the runes be exchanged, and strict confidentiality measures must be taken to prevent them from being passed on.

Lin Jiang had no choice but to turn to the medicine city and buy runes from the outside world. There were not many runes on the outside market, and they were all conventional ones. Those powerful and special ones could not be bought at all.

"The sect is also restricted in many ways,"

Lin Jiang sighed. He also hoped that Zhang Wanjing would take power. If Zhang Wanjing came to power, he, as a direct disciple, would have many privileges and could obtain more runes legally and reasonably.

Now that Zhang Wanjing was being excluded and suppressed, Lin Jiang had no choice but to accept it. He first used conventional runes to deal with it. There was no shortage of buyers for conventional runes. He would make some spirit stones first. His wealth had been constantly tossed over the past few years and had shrunk by more than half.

At the end of the year, what Lin Jiang and his team had done before began to have real effects. The farming disciples came to Jackdaw Mountain to thank Zhang Wanjing again. This year, new spirit grain seeds were promoted. The yield per mu of almost all the outer sect’s farming disciples was improved, and many of them had a sharp increase in cultivation. Although they were still in the Qi training stage, their spirits were completely different. There was light in their eyes and they were full of hope for the future.

Zhang Wanjing was also very satisfied with this. He felt that his life value should be reflected in his contribution to the sect, and this had already been reflected.

Moreover, he was happier the more he worked. Although he was dealing with the grassroots now, the grassroots disciples showed him a more pragmatic and positive side. On the contrary, it was much easier than before in the Internal Affairs Hall. When he was in the Internal Affairs Hall, he had to worry about others tripping him up all the time.

"The future of the sect lies in them. They are young and full of energy. I feel the power of youth in them. Although they come from poor backgrounds and have poor qualifications, a sect not only needs top masters to guard the gate, but also needs a large number of middle-level people as the backbone, right?"

Zhang Wanjing confided his heart to Lin Jiang and the others. He saw countless possibilities in these outer disciples. After all, there are many examples of outer disciples rising and counterattacking. Among these people, someone might be able to build a foundation, form a pill, or even form an infant.

"Master, do you want to include me in this? I think I am young too. I am not even sixty years old,"

Lin Jiang said. Don't look down on people like this. Everyone is a young man, including me.

"Haha, you too, you are very good, my junior brother thinks highly of you" "

Really? Then when will you let the uncle give me lessons again?"

"Don't be so arrogant, it's not easy for me to ask someone once"

"Master, I'm not kidding, I think I really need teaching, you are my master, but you don't practice the Five Spirits Sutra, then you have to find someone who practices to teach me"

Lin Jiang said, he felt that he was careless when he became a disciple, he didn't pay attention to what kind of martial arts Zhang Wanjing was practicing, he just cared about him being a big leg.

This old man didn't talk about martial ethics, he knew that Lin Jiang was young and fooled him.

"Don't come on, the master's teaching to the disciple is not just about practice, I can teach you everything except practice, I am more than enough to be your master"

"Really, otherwise the master taught me to draw talismans, I would only have the strength of the second-level upper grade"

"You kid, you can't think like this, is becoming a disciple just for the benefit, you have to..."

Zhang Wanjing's face froze, it's bad, he can't draw talismans, this disciple is a bit difficult.

"Master, don't go. Tell me what else you can teach me."

Seeing that Zhang Wanjing was about to run away after he finished speaking, Lin Jiang quickly stopped him. This was not good. He had to get some benefits from Zhang Wanjing, otherwise he would have worshipped him in vain.

"When I have time, I will teach you swordsmanship, which is not inferior to the swordsmanship of those sword cultivators of the Yunjian Sect."

Zhang Wanjing was slippery and Lin Jiang could not stop him. He left a word and disappeared without a trace.

"Is your father's swordsmanship strong?"

Lin Jiang turned around and asked Zhang Shuhua. He didn't seem to have heard that Zhang Wanjing was good at fighting, but he had seen that he was good at scolding.

"My father offended all the high-level people in the sect. Guess why no one dared to do it?"

"Don't he have a backer?"

"Backers can only intimidate the Nascent Soul stage, but the elders in the Nascent Soul stage all have Golden Core disciples. Why don't they dare to do it?"

"Good question, I understand."

Lin Jiang was overjoyed. This question was really good. It seemed that Zhang Wanjing was really good at fighting. Otherwise, how could he be so arrogant in the Five Elements Sect?

"My father once had a conflict with the people of the Cloud Sword Sect in the Wilderness. He was besieged by five sword cultivators of the same level, but he escaped unscathed."

"Hehe, I know your father is powerful. Don't emphasize it anymore. How many skills did that senior brother learn?"

"Ten percent"

"Tsk tsk, I don't believe it" "

Believe it or not

" "Unless you teach me"

"No, I'm not your master"

"You are the senior brother. If you teach me, I will take you to the Red Fragrance Tower to play"

"You, you, you, don't mention this again"

Zhang Shuhua was furious. The thief messed up his Tao heart again. He finally suppressed his evil thoughts. Aren't you playing with fire?

"Brother, don't run. I received news that a few fairies have come to Hongxiang Tower. They are very considerate. Oh, no, they are very considerate..."

Zhang Shuhua fled in panic and Lin Jiang kept chasing him. This made Lin Jiang despise him very much. How can someone like you still fight? You are not very good at fighting. I can find a few fairies to beat you.
