In the Five Elements Sect,

Zhang Wanjing and Lin Jiang, the mountain gate, returned and successfully completed the task of the sect. At the same time, they also brought back gossip about what happened in Yunzhong City.

The fact that Lin Jiang spent a lot of money at the auction was also revealed, which immediately caused an uproar among the middle and lower-level disciples. They couldn't imagine that a foundation-building period could take out two million spirit stones to buy Rongling Pills.

"It must be a shady deal."

"Master Zhang Wanjing's uncle is dedicated to the public, it's all fake, how much money did his disciples embezzle?"

"The character is broken, under the banner of reform, it's said to be for the sect, but in fact it's all for profit."

Within a few days, the Black Clothes Hall received a large number of letters of complaint, 90% of which were directed at Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang was not false, and asked them to investigate, and they would definitely not be able to catch any handle. After

finding nothing, they had something to say, saying that this was still a shady deal, this is called officials protecting each other, the firepower was so fierce, Lin Jiang was too lazy to pay attention to them.

Lin Jiang knew long ago that anyone who does something can never satisfy everyone. There will always be someone who criticizes you from a new angle. This is true for reform and writing books.

Lin Jiang was busy with his own affairs. He bought some auxiliary pills, but they were not enough, so he asked someone to refine them. He just needed to wait for Lin Die's pill for Rong Ling Dan. He went to Zhang Wanjing Cave Mansion for retreat. Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.

But not long after, Zhang Shuhua brought Lin Jiang some bad news. Zhang Shuhua said, "The people from Jinyu are back."

"Wasn't he punished to go to the wilderness?"

"It's been 20 years, junior brother, and he has someone to protect him in the wilderness. If he makes a small contribution in one or two years, there will be no problem with the sect rules."

Zhang Shuhua said. At the beginning, there were more than a dozen Jindans that were taken down by his father, and a large number of foundation-building people were all demoted to the wilderness. After 20 years, two Jindans died, and there were at least more than 20 foundation-building people.

But Jin Yu is not dead. He has someone to protect him. He is not on a dangerous mission. Instead, we can see news of his meritorious service every one or two years. It is normal for him to come back after twenty years.

"He should hate us very much ." "

Isn't this nonsense? Those who were exiled to the wilderness formed a group of their own and hate us very much. Half of those who reported you a few days ago were from them." "

Brother, are you worried?"

"How can I not be worried? I was attacked by someone before, and it was probably them who did it."

"Brother, don't worry. We are no longer the same as before. We are not weaker than them."

Lin Jiang said. They are no longer scattered soldiers. They are also a group. Zhang Shuhua is a golden elixir, and Wei Yunshen and others are also golden elixir. Their strength is not much weaker than theirs.

······

"Why, why, why should the efforts of five generations of my family be surpassed by your twenty years of practice?"

In the Internal Affairs Hall, Jin Man was stopped by several disciples, but he was still roaring and asked a soul-searching question. Opposite him stood a steward of the Internal Affairs Hall named He Lianshan.

Jin Man is the son of Jin Yu. He used to be He Lianshan's superior. He Lianshan was just a little brother who ran errands for him. At that time, He Lianshan was just a small deacon in the Internal Affairs Hall, and there were many deacons in the Internal Affairs Hall.

Jin Yu was demoted to the wilderness, and so was Jin Man. He suffered a lot in the wilderness for 20 years. He finally came back. When he arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall, he saw that his former little brother had become a steward, which directly broke his defense.

"He steward, Jin Man didn't mean it. Don't bother with him."

"He steward..."

Everyone persuaded on the side, wanting He Lianshan to leave first and ignore Jin Man, the madman.

"He Lianshan, don't run away, get back here!"

Jin Man was still yelling. He was really broken. He used to be so glorious. He was the steward of the Internal Affairs Hall, and his father was the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Hall. Later, he was the head of the hall for a period of time. Other family members also held important positions. Who doesn't want to curry favor with them? They were always surrounded by people.

"He Lianshan, why are you leaving?"

Just when He Lianshan was about to hide, Lin Jiang appeared, and beside Lin Jiang were Yu Wanke and other high-level officials of the Internal Affairs Hall.

"Senior Brother Xiao, Hall Master Yu..."

He Lianshan and others took a look and saluted hurriedly.

"He Lianshan, I ask you, why are you leaving?"

"Senior Brother Xiao, I..."

"Are you afraid of him?"

"Senior Brother Xiao, I'm not, I'm because..."

"Since that's not you, why are you leaving?"

Lin Jiang pressed forward step by step. He Lianshan lowered his head timidly, not daring to look Lin Jiang in the eye.

Lin Jiang walked up to him, stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders, and with a little force, he shouted at him, "Stand up straight, remember, you are the manager of the Internal Affairs Hall, not anyone's slave, not anyone's younger brother"

"Yes, Senior Brother Xiao"

"Your position as the manager of the Internal Affairs Hall was given to you by the sect, not by anyone else"

"Yes"

"Now tell him why your twenty years of practice can compare to the efforts of five generations of his family"

"Senior Brother Xiao, I, I..."

"You can't tell me, I'll help you tell me"

Lin Jiang saw that he looked nervous and nodded to him. He was quite familiar with He Lianshan and had dealt with him many times. He was very capable, but not good at speaking, so Lin Jiang decided to help him.

"Jin Man, didn't you ask He Lianshan why twenty years of practice could compare to the efforts of five generations of your family? Then I will tell you today, because your Jin family is incompetent and useless"

"Xiao Yi, you dare to insult my Jin family"

"How did I humiliate your Jin family? Did I tell the truth?"

"Don't stop me, I'll fight him"

"Don't stop him, let him do it"

Jin Man made a desperate gesture, and Lin Jiang also shouted hurriedly, there is such a good thing, come on, come on, try it.

"You..."

The people around Jin Man let go instantly. Jin Man was confused. Stop me, why didn't you stop me.

"Why do you say your Jin family is useless? Because there hasn't been a powerful figure in your five generations. I won't talk about Nascent Soul, elixir, talisman, weapon, formation, spirit plant husband, puppetry, and the hundred arts of cultivating immortals. Have you cultivated a master in your five generations?

You are complacent with your previous achievements. You form cliques in the Internal Affairs Hall, engage in corruption, and get spiritual stones to indulge in luxury. You keep singers and servants. What qualifications do you have to compare with others?

He Lianshan, let me ask you, since you built your foundation, how many hours have you slept a day?"

"Brother, less than an hour, often only one hour in three to five days."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I work in the Internal Affairs Hall during the day and practice at night. I also have to learn formations. I am a second-level formation master."

"Do you have a wife and concubines? Do you have singers at home? Do you drink and have fun every day?"

"Junior brother has only one wife, no concubines, no singers or servants, and I don't like drinking."

"Hear me? This is how they surpassed five generations of your family in twenty years. Jin Man, let me ask you, how many hours do you practice every day, how much have you done for the sect, and what other skills do you have to show off?"

Lin Jiang turned around and said to Jin Man, who was speechless and couldn't say a word.

"My fellow disciples, many of you here probably have no family background, either you were mortals before, or you were the lowest disciples of the sect, but now you have surpassed the achievements of your fathers and grandfathers.

But please remember that your achievements are the result of your hard work, and they are also what my master Zhang Wanjing helped you to fight for through the reform of the sect. In the past, all the halls of the sect were people like Jin Man, and you worked so hard, do you have this opportunity?

Now Jin Man is back, and his father Jin Yu is back too. If they still let you live the same life as before, will you agree? Are you convinced? Are you willing to give it up?"

Lin Jiang looked at everyone and continued, and Yu Wanke and others suddenly changed their faces. What is Lin Jiang going to do? Go to war with Jin Yu and the others?

"I don't want to,"

He Lianshan said in a low voice.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you."

"I don't want to, senior brother."

"Why don't you want to?"

"I got the position of steward by working hard for the sect. I have been in the Internal Affairs Hall for sixty years and served as a deacon for forty years. I did everything and they got all the credit. I don't accept it. Now I am in the position and I will not go back."

"Well said, what about you, what about you?"

Lin Jiang pointed at the other people in the Internal Affairs Hall and said.

"I don't want to either."

"I don't want to either."

"..."

The emotions of everyone present were aroused, and they roared excitedly. They didn't want to, they didn't want to live a life inferior to others anymore.

"You, you..."

Jin Man looked around in horror, and the eyes of everyone looking at him changed. There was no fear, but hatred.

"Get out, if you don't get out, I will beat you to death."

Lin Jiang shouted at Jin Man. If he encouraged him again, Jin Man would really have to explain himself here today.

Jin Man ran away rolling and crawling.

"My fellow disciples, don't worry, do your work well. The sect won't let you down, and Uncle Zhang Wanjing won't let you down. No one can take away your positions and achievements, unless you make a mistake yourself,"

Lin Jiang continued to say to the crowd, and after he finished speaking, he looked into the distance.

In the distance, Jin Yu and his group watched all this with cold eyes.
