Five Elements Sect, Mountain
GateAnother mediocre five years passed, and Lin Jiang was already a young man of 305 years old. This year was also the year of Yunzhong City's centennial celebration.
The Five Elements Sect had a station in Yunzhong City, which served as a contact point with the Zhongxing Sect and Yunjian Sect, a bit like a diplomatic embassy. At the same time, there were also businesses in Yunzhong City to collect some resources that the Five Elements Sect did not have.
Every time Yunzhong City celebrated its centennial, the Five Elements Sect would send people to participate. This time, it was led by Zhang Wanjing, because he was the youngest among the Yuanying of the Five Elements Sect. He needed to communicate more and get to know many Yuanying in Yunzhou. As Zhang
Wanjing's direct disciple, Lin Jiang naturally followed Zhang Wanjing and did not need to apply in advance. In addition,
there was Zhang Shuhua, who had formed a golden elixir. Zhang Shuhua got the Rongling Pill from Lin Jiang, and Zhang Wanjing personally protected him. It took a year and a half for him to successfully break through and become the new Jindan disciple of the Five Elements Sect, serving as the deputy head of the Black Clothes Hall.
There are more than a hundred people in the official action of the Five Elements Sect this time. I don't know about the private action. Anyway, many people want to try their luck. Every time the centennial celebration of Yunzhong City is held, there will be good things. It is impossible to find them on the market on weekdays.
"Departure"
With Zhang Wanjing's order, the large flying boat of the Five Elements Sect slowly rose and flew away.
"The last time Yunzhong City celebrated its centennial, I was 21 years old. I really wanted to see it, but my cultivation was too low, so I didn't go. This time I can see the style of the largest city in Yunzhou."
"So Senior Brother is already 121 years old, so old, I'm only 101 years old, so young."
"I'm a golden elixir, I've lived longer than you."
Zhang Shuhua smiled slightly. You are a foundation-building person, and you are ashamed to compare your lifespan with my golden elixir?
Lin Jiang showed a mysterious smile to this. Young man, what else can you compare? Compare your lifespan with mine, can you do it? You are just a thin dog.
"If you have that time, you might as well practice more."
Zhang Wanjing turned around and said. He knew a lot of Lin Jiang's secrets, but he didn't say much. Everyone has his own opportunities. He wouldn't expose his apprentice's adventures.
Lin Jiang ran away and went to play with other disciples. There were quite a few young foundation builders on the flying boat, only in their twenties or thirties. He liked to play with young people, because he was also a young man.
In Yunzhou, few people dared to rob the flying boats of the three major sects. It's not that no one had robbed them, but the families of those who had robbed them were eventually exiled by the three major sects. Now, even those bandits have become smarter. After all, they are just greedy for money, not fools.
The flying boat landed safely outside Yunzhong City. Zhang Wanjing put away the flying boat, and the group entered the city. The Five Elements Sect had a resident, so everyone didn't have to spend money to rent a house and settled in the resident.
"Looking back, it's been a hundred years. Yunzhong City, I'm back again."
Lin Jiang looked at Yunzhong City and sighed in his heart. A strange and familiar feeling came over him.
·······
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you? My father led a team to visit Zhongxing Sect today, but you came to set up a stall at the big market?"
Zhang Shuhua found Lin Jiang at the big market in Yunzhong City, his face full of black lines.
"Senior brother, what do you know? This is called opportunity. I will get familiar with the big market first, and then when the grand celebration really starts, I can come and pick up the leaks."
Lin Jiang was talking nonsense. How could he not know what Zhang Wanjing was going to do today? He avoided it because he knew that he was going to Zhongxing Sect.
"You don't look like such a fool."
"Tsk, this is called darkness under the lamp. Others think that there will be no treasures in the big market. With my vision level, I might just pick up a leak. Brother, don't you think so?"
"Whatever you want, Zhongxing Sect really won't go?"
"It's boring. Our Five Elements Sect is also one of the three dominant sects. Don't we stay here every day? There's nothing special."
"Whatever you want, just don't cause trouble."
Zhang Shuhua shook his head and left.
Lin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, packed up the stall, and left.
Lin Jiang chose to revisit the old place. Yingchun Tower is still there, Baihua Tower is still there, what a familiar place.
After half a day, Lin Jiang walked out of the gate of Yingchun Tower with a red face, muttering, "Vulgar, too vulgar, or the palace banquet is better, that's where the literati should go." After leaving
Yingchun Tower, Lin Jiang went around the big market in Dongcheng again, bought a lot of snacks, returned to the Five Elements Sect, and ate happily.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, it's good to have you here."
Not long after, a disciple of the Five Elements Sect walked in.
"What are you doing?"
"There are guests visiting. The great-grandmaster has led the team to the Zhongxing Sect. The other great-grandmasters are not at the station. You are the only one here. Please go and receive the guests."
"Look at what you said, what do you mean by receiving guests? This is called meeting guests."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what you said, then, senior brother, please?"
"Let's go."
Lin Jiang wiped his mouth and went to the front hall to receive guests, ugh, to meet guests.
"It's you."
"Ahem, um, you can go and get busy first."
Lin Jiang came to the front hall and saw Lin Die, and said to the other Five Elements Sect disciples.
"Um, Third Aunt, why are you here?" "It
's the 100th anniversary of Yunzhong City. Is there any problem with my Anhua City Lin family coming to participate?"
"No, just asking, where is the head of the family?"
"I don't know where my father went. I haven't seen him for several years. Lin Ying is guarding in the wilderness. I led the team to Yunzhong City. Xiaoyu is here too. Do you want to meet him?"
"Who is Xiaoyu?"
"Your pet. Are you going to call people a big idiot for the rest of your life?"
"Ah, the big idiot calls it Xiaoyu"
Lin Jiang was stunned instantly. Isn't the name of the big idiot quite nice?
"Nonsense, she's a girl, how can she be called Big Sha Diao?"
"Okay, that makes sense."
"Xiao Yu likes to eat fish very much. I was going to call it Xiao Yu, but after thinking about it, I decided to call it Xiao Yu. It has my last name, Lin Yu. What do you think? Does it sound nice?"
"It sounds nice. It's the name given by Third Aunt. I'll beat anyone who dares to say it doesn't sound nice."
"Don't give me that. Do you want to see it or not? If you do, I'll call it."
"Forget it, don't see it. What if it sees me and remembers the past and refuses to leave?"
Lin Jiang shook his head. He was afraid that he could not stand that kind of scene. Looking at the name Lin Die gave it, he knew that Big Sha Diao would not suffer in the Lin family.
"You're right. It made a fuss for three years after you left."
"Please say sorry to it for me."
"It's all in the past. By the way, I almost forgot about the important matter. Where is the leader of your Five Elements Sect?"
"I went to the Zhongxing Sect to pay my respects to the mountain gate. I guess I won't be back so soon
. I also have to go to the Yunjian Sect. What's the matter?" "It's not a big deal. There are many good things in Yunzhong City's centennial celebration this time. I came to inform you so that our two families won't fight each other and work together to deal with other sects and independent cultivators."
"Did you play like this before?"
"Nonsense, if we hadn't taken those treasures, independent cultivators and small and medium-sized forces would have had little money. Would they have raised the price so high? All the high-level treasures in Yunzhou's cultivation cities are played like this."
Lin Die said that those high-level treasures were taken out for a stroll. They were for small and medium-sized forces to see. The purpose was to attract popularity. The real buyers were still a few big forces. Anhua City is now qualified to play this game.
This is not only the centennial celebration in Yunzhong City, but also the high-end auction houses in other cities. "It's
eye-opening,"
Lin Jiang said. The advantages of the big sects are too terrifying. It is really difficult for ordinary cultivators, even some mid-level forces, to obtain some high-level resources. They must pay a higher price.
"Since your master is not here, I will leave first. When he comes back, tell him and I will visit him again."
"How about you tell me?" "
Can you make the decision as a foundation-building cultivator?"
"No, but my master listens to me in many things."
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Lin Die thought about it and took out a jade slip. It contained a list of auction items announced by many businesses in Yunzhong City. Whatever Lin wanted to take was marked, and most of them were advanced breakthrough treasures.
"The Lin family can't eat so much,"
"Of course, so we have to discuss it with the Five Elements Sect. When the auction comes, our two families should be on the same page and raise the price first, but we can't fight to the death."
"I see. You can tell me which treasures the Lin family has taken a fancy to, and I will discuss it with Master then."
"The Lin family will eat as much as they can. Forget it, let's wait for your Master to come back, and then we will discuss it in detail,"
said Lin Die. This matter is very complicated, and it involves practices such as bidding rigging. Only those in power can decide, and it must be confirmed with the Five Elements Sect. Otherwise, they will fight to the death and be taken advantage of by the seller.
"Do you have cooperation with other forces as well?"
"Of course we do. We all have a tacit understanding. You will know it in the future. I won't tell you anymore. I have to visit other places."
"I'll take you there."
"No need. I live on the street next to you. The Lin family also has a base here. If you want to see Xiaoyu, just come secretly. Remember, don't reveal your identity and don't go to see Cao Ying, okay?"
"Okay, I got it."
Lin Jiang nodded. Lin Die had told him a long time ago that something was wrong with Cao Ying's side, and he must not be exposed, otherwise Zhonghang Sect would most likely kill him to break Cao Ying's inner demon.
