Wilderness, the old stronghold of the Five Elements Sect

"If you want to ask for leave, just ask for leave. Why are you looking for me? Is there anyone in the stronghold who cares about us now?"

Zhang Shuhua said to Lin Jiang. Now no one cares about them. If the stronghold did not have a little income, it would only become a farming stronghold, just like the old strongholds behind, but this is a matter of time.

"We still have to go through the necessary procedures. We can't let others get hold of us,"

said Lin Jiang. He actually looked down on Guo Yunfeng's internal fighting methods and was hesitant. If he were Guo Yunfeng, he would have killed Zhang Wanjing's people long ago.

So in order to prevent Guo Yunfeng from remembering this, Lin Jiang was very careful and would never give the enemy a chance to get hold of us.

"Okay, the process is over, you can go back now."

"Okay, Senior Brother, do you want me to bring you something?"

"No, you can go early and come back early."

"Senior Brother, goodbye."

Lin Jiang waved his hand. Half an hour later, the transport flying boat of the new base arrived. Lin Jiang took the flying boat back to the Five Elements Sect. He did not rush on his own, fearing that he would be robbed. Although he was confident, he was also afraid of the possibility.

After returning to the Five Elements Sect, he went to Zhang Wanjing Cave Mansion as soon as possible to add spiritual stones to the spiritual field of the Purple Source Dao Fruit. Before, Lin Jiang pulled out all the other spiritual medicines in Zhang Wanjing Cave Mansion, and all the spiritual energy was supplied to these Purple Source Dao Fruits, but it was still not enough, and additional spiritual stones were needed.

This investment is quite large. Lin Jiang expects to invest 20,000 to 30,000 spiritual stones every year, and the maturity period of the Purple Source Dao Fruit is very long. Even the oldest medicine now will take another 100 to 200 years. If it is an ordinary foundation-building period, it is simply not affordable.

Now Lin Jiang can only hope that Zhang Wanjing can break through the Nascent Soul stage, so that he can choose a more advanced cave, and the level of his spiritual veins can also increase, or he can directly plant it in the high-level spiritual medicine garden of the sect.

When he went from the sect to the medicine city, Lin Jiang did not go to Yue Lin first, but inquired about Wang's news.

·······

"Junior brother Xiao, what a refined mood"

Yue Lin met Lin Jiang in a high-end teahouse. He thought Lin Jiang would invite him to the palace banquet, but he didn't expect to come here.

"Isn't it nice to drink tea?"

"Don't go to the palace banquet to drink?"

"No, the palace banquet is poisonous and will make people deaf"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"I have a friend who went there. After he came back, his wife kept telling him not to go again, but he was deaf and couldn't hear"

"Hahaha, junior brother Xiao, you are also a wonderful person"

A joke made Yue Lin dumbfounded, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses, and then he laughed.

"This is what I promised Senior Brother Yue. Senior Brother, please count it."

Lin Jiang waited until he finished laughing, and then placed a storage bag in front of Yue Lin.

"Junior Brother Xiao, I won't hide it from you. I used some tricks to get the fourth-level demon pill this time. I don't need so much money."

"If you have the ability to use tricks, that's your business. I, Xiao, must do what I promised."

Lin Jiang shook his head. He had already inquired about it. The collapse of the Wang family was caused by Yue Lin.

Of course, outsiders generally don't know. They only know that it was caused by the internal strife of the Wang family's children. Brothers killed each other, angered their old father to death, and divided up the family property. No matter how many Wang family members there were, they couldn't unite .

"I feel guilty about taking this money. I, Yue Lin, am not a good person, but I am not an unforgivable person. Junior Brother Xiao, I can put my future on you,"

Yue Lin said. This time, he was very cruel to the Wang family. A family was collapsed by his three or two tricks, and a human tragedy was staged.

Yue Lin also paid a lot, and the biggest sacrifice was his reputation. In the past, he was good at networking, had good relationships with the high-level members of the sect, and often helped people deal with some things.

But this time, the means were too cruel, and those people would definitely be very cautious and wary of him in the future, so Lin Jiang still paid, which made Yue Lin very worried. If Lin Jiang decided to keep his distance from him, he would lose a lot.

"Senior Brother Yue's choice is not wrong"

"Then please take care of me, Junior Brother Xiao."

"It's fine. There's still a lot of time. Yue Qing from your Yue family has been with me for many years and knows me."

Lin Jiang said. Yue Lin has no bottom line in doing things, but what does it have to do with him? Who is not ruthless when they come out to mix in the rivers and lakes? Good people don't live long.

Since Yue Lin is willing to rely on him, just keep him. If Zhang Wanjing breaks through the Nascent Soul, he can't do anything with Zhang Wanjing's pressure. If Zhang Wanjing fails, Yue Lin will naturally leave them.

"Yue Qing told me that Junior Brother Xiao is a reliable person. This is a fourth-level demon pill. Wang's family has preserved it very well. The demon power in the demon pill has lost less than 10%."

Yue Lin nodded. Seeing that Lin Jiang did not insist on keeping a distance from him, he was relieved.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yue, let's have tea."

"Okay."

Lin Jiang and Yue Lin drank two pots of tea and then separated. Everyone was an old fox and didn't need to say a lot.

Lin Jiang took the demon pill and checked it carefully. It was indeed well preserved. After waiting for more than half a month, when the logistics flying boat of the Five Elements Sect set off again, Lin Jiang followed the flying boat back to the base.

······

"Big sand sculpture, you must break through."

After a few days, Lin Jiang quietly left the base and got a lot of food for the big and small sand sculptures.

"Brother, brother..."

"Hey, it's not clear even if I tell you."

"Eat, eat..."

"Okay, eat, eat more."

Lin Jiang's mind was a little heavy. He remembered what Lin Die said to him, that the Lin family would have a great disaster in the future.

Lin Jiang's cultivation was too low. Even Lin Batian, who was almost invincible in the Nascent Soul stage, thought it was a great disaster. He didn't know how to help the Lin family. Sending the big sand sculpture to the Lin family was the only thing he could do.

As for himself, it was impossible for him to go back. After going back, let alone his identity was not clear, even if he explained it clearly, what was the use? Did the Lin family lack foundation-building stage? No.

After the big sand sculpture finished eating, Lin Jiang fed it the fourth-level demon pill, and the big sand sculpture soon fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Jiang didn't know whether the fourth-level demon pill could help the big sand sculpture break through. He had tried his best. For this fourth-level demon pill, Lin Jiang spent half of his wealth, and it was difficult to get a second one.

"Your sister is asleep, no one will beat you in the future. Follow me and you will have a good life in the future,"

Lin Jiang said to the little sand sculpture. The little sand sculpture habitually rolled his eyes at him. It didn't believe it. Whoever believed it was a sand sculpture.

Putting away the things, Lin Jiang once again returned to the base. In the days that followed, Lin Jiang kept a low profile as before. He dealt with work during the day, slacked off and drew talismans, and practiced seriously at night. He was extremely diligent and finally became the person he hated the most. Fortunately,

the income was not low, which could maintain his daily consumption. Now Lin Jiang's income comes from many aspects. The first one is the salary of the sect, which all disciples of the Five Elements Sect have.

During the foundation-building period, you get 300 spirit stones for free every year, and there are also true spirit pills, spirit grains, etc. There is an additional salary for garrisoning the base, but it has been reduced because with the improvement of the new base, this place is no longer important. It is 500 spirit stones per year, plus 3,000 merit points.

The rest is income from business, such as brewing workshops, and you can get thousands of spirit stones every year. It is not as good as before, but it is much better than ordinary disciples.

Then there is Lin Jiang’s income from drawing talismans. This income is not low. Lin Jiang’s talisman skills are not at the top level among the foundation-building period, but they are also above average. Drawing a few talismans every day can also earn dozens of spirit stones.

The bulk of the income comes from the little sand sculpture. Every month, Lin Jiang will let it go hunting. Although he specifically told the little sand sculpture not to go to the range of the Zhongxing Sect base, the wilderness is too large, and there will be gains every time, mainly second-level monsters, and occasionally third-level monsters can be hunted. Lin Jiang takes away the fur, scales and claws, and the flesh and blood are swallowed by the little sand sculpture.

In a blink of an eye, another five years passed and there was still no news from Zhang Wanjing. However, the big sand sculpture gave him a surprise: it had made a breakthrough.
