Yunzhong City, at the auction,
the Five Elements Sect disciples were all shocked by Lin Jiang's arrogance, even the sect's golden elixir. The Five Elements Sect only paid 10,000 spirit stones a year to the golden elixir. Although no one lived on the salary, it was too much.
"No wonder he wanted to worship Yuanying as his master. Xiao Yi is too rich. Senior brother, how could Uncle Zhang Wanjing be so blind at such a young age and choose him over me?"
"Ahem, Junior Brother, be careful, what if Yuanying can hear our voice transmission?"
"No way"
"A few years ago, several uncles wanted to join forces to rob Xiao Yi's business, but they were stopped by Uncle Zhang Wanjing. At that time, I thought the uncles were petty, but now I think that I am the clown" "
I have to hold Brother Xiao's thighs tightly when I go back. His legs are really fucking big."
In the Five Elements Sect's box, all the disciples were talking and talking, and the inhumane Lin Jiang was naturally the focus of their topic.
"Boy, can you tell me the truth now? How much money did you make? If you don't tell me the truth, I won't let you off tonight."
"Master, it's really not much. The restaurant can earn about 100,000 spirit stones a year, and the Dan Hall and Fu Hall can earn about 200,000. It won't exceed 400,000 spirit stones a year. This is my accumulation of 20 years."
Lin Jiang had no choice but to confess. What he said was 80% true. Although he is now rich and inhumane, it is actually accumulated over 20 years. He has advanced this year's dividends in advance.
"Twenty years, 400,000 a year, you have more wealth than me, and you are still thinking about the 500,000 spirit stones?"
"Master, you don't know how hard it is for your disciple. I have been frugal these years. The previous Rongling Pill also cost more than half of my wealth..."
Lin Jiang immediately cried poor and complained. He felt that he had a bad life these years. Yue Qing and others spent money on wine and women, but he had to save money.
Even so, the expenses in these years are not small. The biggest one is the Rongling Pill, followed by the little sand sculpture. He has pushed the little sand sculpture to the peak of the third level, and finally Lin Jiang's own expenses. His cultivation has reached the great perfection of foundation building. He has taken drugs a lot in these years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he eats them as food.
The real way to save money is in personal enjoyment. If he is like Yue Qing and others, marrying seven or eight concubines, having more than a dozen children, and drinking at the palace banquet every now and then, no amount of money can be enough.
"Okay, okay, don't cry poor, I'm not robbing you."
"It's useless if you want to rob. I spent all my money when I came to Yunzhong City this time,"
Lin Jiang said. He had a lot of good things in his storage bag. Do you really think they are free? They are all exchanged for white spirit stones.
"No one will compete with you. You can go and hand in the pills,"
Zhang Wanjing said to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang acted too arrogant and killed all his opponents directly.
Lin Jiang nodded, and quickly went to deliver the pills. With the handling fee, he took out 2.1 million spirit stones, filling up a whole medium-sized storage bag.
Then Lin Jiang came back with a swagger, following Zhang Wanjing. He was not afraid of being robbed. If he was a casual cultivator before, he would have to consider where to hide now.
······
"Lin Wu, you shocked your third aunt last night. It seems that you are doing well in the Five Elements Sect."
The next morning, Lin Die came to the door and said to Lin Jiang.
"It's okay, just so-so."
"You were right not to go back to the Lin family. The Lin family would never give you such a big benefit."
"Third aunt, you might as well speak frankly if you have something to say."
"Third aunt also took a fancy to the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill last night. It was intended to be used for Lin Dongyan's breakthrough."
"Lin Dongyan?"
"Your uncle's descendant, the eighth generation of the Lin family."
"Sorry, third aunt, I need this pill too."
"You are Zhang Wanjing's disciple. Can't the Five Elements Sect get a Jindan treasure? This shouldn't be right."
"My master did have a quota for a pill and gave it to my senior brother. Later, he was unwilling to show favoritism and I didn't even mention it."
Lin Jiang shook his head. The Five Elements Sect also distributed a batch of Jindan treasures in the past few years. Lin Jiang didn't apply for it at all, as he didn't want to embarrass Zhang Wanjing.
"That's a pity, Lin Dongyan has very good qualifications."
"Third aunt, how is the current alchemy level of the Lin family?"
"Not bad. Among the fourth-generation grandsons of my second brother Lin He, there is an alchemy genius named Lin Chengzhi. He is now a fifth-level alchemist. The family also spent a huge price to let him study with the Alchemy King Li Ruoxu for ten years."
"Fifth-level alchemist, that's enough, Third aunt, are you interested in cooperating once and refining a furnace of Rongling Pills?"
"Do you have the materials for the Rongling Pill?"
"I have collected nine of the twelve main ingredients in the Rongling Pill, and forty-five of the seventy-two auxiliary ingredients. Do you have the recipe?"
"Yes, tell me what materials you have, maybe we can put together a furnace."
"They are all here."
Lin Jiang took out a storage bag from his body and handed it to Lin Die. He had more than a dozen storage bags with various things in them.
"There is still one main ingredient missing, but it's not a big problem. I'll send a message to Lin Ying and ask her to go to the wilderness to find it."
"Okay, then, I'll give you these ingredients. When the pill is ready, give me at least one. Is that okay ?"
"You paid the most, and you only take one?"
"It's a little reward for the family."
Lin Jiang shook his head. He already had a Rongling Pill and a Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill. He thought it should be enough to have another one. It wouldn't be as difficult as breaking through the foundation.
"No, I can't take advantage of you."
"How about this, does the Lin family have a fourth-level demon pill? I want to help my little idiot break through."
"Yes, Dad killed a fourth-level demon beast a few years ago."
"Is it a flying one?"
"No, it's a ground rock beast, but if you need it, we can help you get it."
"Then thank you for your help. I will pay for the fourth-level demon pill, but I don't have money now. Can you wait a few more years?"
"We are all family, let's not talk about this."
"Business is business. How about this, you have people in Medicine City, I will go find them when I go back, and help you get some good stuff then."
Lin Jiang said. With his authority, it is not difficult to get some good things from the Five Elements Sect.
"Don't violate the rules of your sect."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, everything is reasonable and legal."
Lin Jiang nodded. He doesn't do anything improper, and he guarantees that others won't say anything.
"Okay, then it's settled. When you go to the Lin's residence in Yaocheng, remember to be secretive and don't expose the relationship."
"I know."
"I'll go first."
Lin Die nodded, and then she went to find Zhang Wanjing. To others, it seemed that they just passed by and chatted for a few words. The two did not discuss for a long time. In
the following days, Lin Jiang was still shopping. He needed some other auxiliary medicines to form a pill, and Lin Jiang also wanted to take this opportunity to buy them all at once. If he didn't have enough money, he would borrow from others. His reputation was great and he could borrow money easily.
When the celebration was over, Lin Jiang helped Zhang Wanjing to count the accounts. Wow, this time the Five Elements Sect actually spent hundreds of millions of spirit stones.
"Master, I think one-fifth of the good things from Yunzhong City's Centennial Celebration should have fallen into our hands."
"What do you mean by "our"? It belongs to the sect
." "Yes, it belongs to our sect." "That's right, it belongs to our sect.
" "That's about right. About 80% of the good things were bought up by various forces, and the remaining 20% was bought by famous independent cultivators like Li Ruoxu. The vast majority of independent cultivators and small forces only bought about 10%."
"Is this a trap?"
"Yes and no. First of all, whether it is the Yunzhong City Centennial Celebration or our Wanyao Conference, really good things were taken out. But these good things are very expensive, not everyone can afford them. There are still only a few real buyers, just like the Jindan treasures this time, the buyers are those forces above medium strength in Yunzhou.
Even if a few dark horses appear occasionally, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the three sects are not afraid of a few more Jindan small forces in Yunzhou, and it is impossible for them to take out the Jieying treasures.
Everyone plays this way in the hope that those independent cultivators will participate, come to buy and sell, and provide some of the good things they have obtained, so as to integrate resources and benefit only."
"It's a chance to harvest them. You really know how to play."
"This is the rule of Yunzhou. The big sects have a lot of traps waiting for you to jump, and you have to jump. Do you know why I am eager to make changes in the sect? Because once the sect declines, and Zhonghang Sect and Yunjian Sect are not weakened, they will pounce on us without hesitation and devour us. Then we will be the target of harvest."
"If Zhonghang Sect and Yunjian Sect also show signs of decline, we will also go up and take a bite to help them weaken faster." "
It must be. The world of cultivating immortals is the law of the jungle. If you are weak, you are just a piece of meat. This is why the three sects have not dared to expand at will for many years. Expansion may fail, so they all take a defensive stance."
"It's just as cruel."
Lin Jiang sighed. The life of a casual cultivator is cruel, and so is the sect. Unless you are a small person and let others shoulder your responsibilities and obligations, you still have to face this cruelty.
