Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, we arrived at Lin Jiang's 300-year-old
Five Elements Sect.
Zhang Wanjing, the gatekeeper, came to Lin Jiang's cave. Lin Jiang took a look and wanted to close the door and run away, but was stopped by Zhang Wanjing.
"You want to run away when you see me, what do you mean?"
"I can't afford to offend you, but can't I hide from you?"
"I brought you good things, the fifth-level cloud mist tea, there are only three in the whole Yunzhou, drinking a cup is enough to make you practice less for half a month, and it can also clear the poison of the elixir, and there is also the spirit wine from other states, the beauty smile, which is not sold on the market, and it is specially provided for the Nascent Soul ."
Zhang Wanjing picked up the things in his hand and said to Lin Jiang.
"Master, you are a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, you have no good intentions."
"Stop talking nonsense, open the door, open the formation, otherwise I will clean up the door today"
"Okay, okay, I admit it"
Lin Jiang cried and opened the cave, letting Zhang Wanjing in.
"Why don't you plant spiritual medicines, and dig a fish pond in your cave?"
Zhang Wanjing took a look at Lin Jiang's cave. It was not big, after all, it was only ten acres in size, but there was a fish pond, estimated to be two or three acres, isn't this a waste?
"Dig a fish pond, raise some fish, plant some lotus, go fishing, and enjoy the moon in the lotus pond. This is called sentiment, do you understand?"
"I don't understand. I just know that you are rich and don't care about the income of the spiritual field in the cave, right?"
"No, this is sentiment, I'm still sentiment, and I don't have money."
"Stop talking nonsense, I came here to ask you for money today, Rong Lingdan and Lingshi, you choose one."
Zhang Wanjing stopped pretending and showed his cards. He came here to rob today. It's not robbery to rob disciples.
"Master, are you robbing?"
"Is it robbery between a master and his apprentice? This is called taking advantage of others. What's wrong with me taking advantage of my apprentice?"
"..."
"Hey, Xiao Yi, I owe you this. I'm sorry to Shuhua. I..."
"Okay, okay, stop playing the victim. Isn't it okay for me to give it to you?"
Seeing Zhang Wanjing so serious and starting to play the victim, Lin Jiang couldn't stand it anymore and took out a brocade box.
"Thank you very much. You are really a good apprentice of your master."
"Don't be so anxious to thank me, Master, do me another favor."
"What do you want to do?"
"My business has been targeted by someone. How about helping me settle it?"
"Who is targeting your business?"
"It's the family members of the big guys in the sect. I'm doing well here, but they have to get involved."
Lin Jiang said. This matter has to start with his stupid teammates. This year is the thirteenth year of Zhang Wanjing's reform. Lin Jiang has made huge profits from the reform, and those who work with him have also made a fortune.
Apart from other things, even Zheng Dahu and Zhang Erhu, who supplied him with spiritual grain, were also worth a lot of money. They made a fortune, but they did not have Lin Jiang's determination. They all lived a luxurious life. For example, Yue Qing, after sending Sister Hua away, married seven concubines and learned from Wei Xiaobao.
This made people stare at him. Some people calculated the assets of Lin Jiang's men and found out that there was such a rich man. They immediately became interested, especially since Lin Jiang's cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage and he was nearly a hundred years old. When the sect was unable to compete for the Jindan treasure, some people were ready to move.
"I'll help you solve this matter."
Zhang Wanjing nodded. He was not a pedantic person. Lin Jiang's business was in line with the sect's rules, so he would not allow others to compete.
"Thank you very much, Master."
"We are a family, what are you thanking for? By the way, give this Rongling Pill to Shuhua. "
"What are you doing?"
"It's not convenient for me, I'll give it to you."
"Got it."
"I'm leaving."
"I'll go, Master, you can leave if you want, leave the gift behind."
Lin Jiang saw Zhang Wanjing was leaving, but he was going to take the gift he brought. He was immediately anxious and went up to grab it back. The old man didn't follow the rules. He could take the gift back. What kind of person is he.
········
"Brother, I'm here. Where are you?"
Lin Jiang walked into Zhang Shuhua's cave. He had the control token of Zhang Shuhua's cave, which was not even given to Zhang Wanjing.
"Uncle, uncle"
Zhang Shuhua didn't show up, but a chubby little boy showed up.
"Xiaochen, call me daddy, I'll give you candy."
Lin Jiang squatted down with a smile and said to the little kid. This was Zhang Shuhua's son, who was already four years old this year.
Zhang Wenchen's face was full of confusion after hearing this. This was what his uncle had told him last time. He got a big bag of candies, which were so sweet, but his butt also hurt, and he was almost beaten to pieces by Zhang Shuhua.
"Go ahead, Xiaochen, call me daddy, and I'll give you a sack of candies and a chicken leg this time."
"Xiao Yi, if you want to die, just say it."
Just when Zhang Wenchen almost couldn't resist the temptation, Zhang Shuhua appeared and said to Lin Jiang with a dark face.
"Haha, senior brother, are you at home?"
"Are you sick? What's the matter with asking my son to call you daddy all the time? If you want to have a son, just give birth to one yourself."
"I can't give birth." "
Get lost."
"Sister-in-law, senior brother hit someone, do you care?"
Lin Jiang immediately yelled, and Zhang Shuhua was so angry that he really wanted to hit someone.
"No more playing, no more playing, let's go to the study."
Lin Jiang saw that the joke was almost over, so he restrained himself. He had touched Zhang Shuhua's point and knew what level was a joke.
"What's the matter?"
"Your father robbed me again."
"You deserve it."
"This time it's Rongling Pill."
"You really did it, how much did you take?"
Zhang Shuhua was not calm at this moment. He knew that Lin Jiang and Wei Yunshen were plotting to make Rongling Pill. They had been planning for many years, but they succeeded.
"I only got one pill,"
said Lin Jiang. He had been planning for five years. The four of them invested millions of spirit stones, plus countless favors, to collect the main ingredient of Rongling Pill from the golden elixirs of the Five Elements Sect bit by bit, and collected auxiliary medicinal materials from all over the place, and then asked people to refine it. Most of the cost was paid by Lin Jiang, and many things were done by him under the banner of Zhang Wanjing, so he got two pills, but he couldn't tell the truth.
"You only have one pill and my father has taken it away from you. I'll help you get it back."
"No, I volunteered. Here's the pill, take it."
"Xiao Yi, are you crazy? How old are you this year? If you don't break through, you won't have a chance."
"Don't be silly. I didn't have a chance to use the sect's pills. I have my own way. You break through as soon as possible."
"I don't want it."
"No wonder Master asked me to give it to you. If he came by himself, you would definitely not accept it."
"I don't want it even if you give it to me. I can't hurt you."
"Harm you, what? If I can make one furnace of pills, I can make two furnaces. I'm younger than you. That's all."
Lin Jiang said, and stuffed the pill directly into Zhang Shuhua's hand.
"Junior brother, I..."
"What are you doing, man, nagging?
" "I owe you a lot."
"Don't you have a son? Let your son pay it back."
"If you really want it, I'll adopt Wen Chen to you."
"Fuck, are you serious, brother? I don't have the idea of raising children for others. Raise them yourself."
Lin Jiang was shocked. He was just joking. Don't take it seriously.
"Wen Chen will regard you as his father from now on. I'm not kidding."
"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. I feel a little nervous."
Lin Jiang said embarrassedly. He was not ready to be a father, not even a godfather.
"Brother, do you dislike my son being stupid?"
"No."
"Then my wife and I will have another child."
"Brother, if you want to kick us out, just say so directly. Do
n't be like this." "Okay, let's not talk about this. Stay for lunch and let your sister-in-law make you something delicious. It's no worse than the food in your restaurant."
"Okay, I brought some good wine. Have you heard of Jia Ren Xiao?"
"My father really likes you more. He only has one jar of this wine. One jar leaked out of Medicine City two years ago and was auctioned for 50,000 spirit stones."
"It's more expensive than the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"That's normal. When you play with Wei Yunshen and the others, you'll know how luxurious their lives are."
"Uncle Wei has also fallen."
Lin Jiang shook his head. Wei Yunshen and the other two had given up hope of conceiving a baby. They gave up on their own. They couldn't resist the temptation of a luxurious life. Just like Jin Yu and the others before, they put all their resources into enjoyment. This time they got the Rong Ling Pill for their offspring.
"It's not something that most people can endure to live a simple life. Junior brother, I admire you for this."
"You should admire your father. Junior brother, I have never seen the world and don't know what a luxurious life is like."
Lin Jiang laughed. He really had nothing to say about this. Apart from occasionally going to the palace banquet, he had very low requirements for food, drink, clothing, and housing. He just made do with what he had.
The mentality of a loser has not changed for hundreds of years, and the biggest reason for this is his own resistance. Lin Jiang has a clear understanding of his willpower. Once he gets used to this kind of life, he will indulge in it.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Don't overestimate your human nature.
