In the Five Elements Sect, Zhang Shuhua's cave,

Wei Yunshen and more than ten other Jindan gathered, including Lin Jiang. Since Zhang Shuhua formed a pill, Lin Jiang gathered these people in the name of Zhang Shuhua. These dozen people were either Zhang Wanjing's old friends, like Wei Yunshen and the other three, who had known each other for many years, or they had intentionally approached Zhang Wanjing after he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

Through repeated dinners and talks, they formed an alliance of interests and cooperated with each other.

"I heard about what Junior Brother Xiao did in the Internal Affairs Hall a few days ago.

It was a relief." "I heard that Jin Yu was near the Internal Affairs Hall. I heard it clearly. I just don't know what his expression was like. It must have been very exciting."

"After this incident, Jin Yu has no chance of getting his position back unless he breaks through the Nascent Soul."

"Jin Yu is almost 500 years old. He looks young because he took longevity treasures and Dingyan Pills. In fact, his blood and qi are almost declining. He has no chance of breaking through the Nascent Soul."

Everyone was discussing what happened a few days ago. Here, Lin Jiang and their status are equal. Everyone believes that it is not difficult for Lin Jiang to form a pill.

"Junior Brother, this time it is a relief, but it is not good to make too many enemies."

Zhang Shuhua said. He also hated Jin Yu and his people, but it must be mentioned that they have a strong background in the Five Elements Sect. There are so many Nascent Soul elders, but Zhang Wanjing only has one.

"Brother, there is nothing wrong with that. I just want to create enemies. Without enemies, how can we unite more people? At that time, everyone's interests will be even more different. Is it better to fight for a little benefit?"

"This..."

"Brother, you should change your mindset. Don't be like Master. You need help to do things. You need Yuanying and Jindan. Building foundation and practicing Qi are equally important. The more people, the better."

Lin Jiang explained. Jin Yu jumped out to set a target for them, so don't blame him, Lin Jiang.

The rest of the people thought it was very reasonable. If they were the only one in the sect, then they would definitely fight among themselves. Now there is an external pressure, which is good. At least now, they will not fight among themselves easily, but work together to deal with Jin Yu and others.

"Junior brother, I don't mean anything else, I just feel a little bit..."

"Unjust"

"I guess so"

"Brother, when did I tell you that what we do is just? Even if it is Master's reform, I emphasize the distribution of benefits. There is no difference between us and Jin Yu in essence. The difference is our means.

Jin Yu is used to enjoying and does not give hope to the people below, but we will give it to them. We still make money. The rules of the world are like this, centered around interests. It

will be the same in the future. We have never said that we will give everyone at the bottom a chance, but we will always give a loophole. As long as we can do this, there will be fewer people who oppose us than those who oppose Jin Yu. That's all.

We must put aside our face and moral issues. If we don't have this little means, how can we fight for life with the sky? This is cultivating immortals, you think it's just playing house?"

Lin Jiang said seriously. Justice and morality are only told to people at the bottom. At a certain level, it is a bit ridiculous to still talk about this.

Lin Jiang never thought that he was a good person. Although he occasionally did some bad things, his heart was definitely a bit dark.

Zhang Shuhua looked at Wei Yunshen and others. They all showed very approving expressions. Zhang Shuhua sighed. He knew that Lin Jiang had been helping him become Zhang Wanjing's agent and become the flag bearer among these people, but he also understood that he could not do it.

In addition to reaching the standard in cultivation, his means, scheming, eloquence, and ruthlessness were not as good as Lin Jiang.

"When Junior Brother Xiao forms a pill, I will retreat to the second line and concentrate on cultivation,"

Zhang Shuhua said in his heart. He really couldn't cope with such a complicated situation. Intrigues and conspiracies were really not what he was good at.

······

In the blink of an eye, another year passed. Lin Jiang got the Rongling Pill and the fourth-level demon pill from the Lin family, but the money for the fourth-level demon pill had not been given to the Lin family. This was not a one-time payment, but had to be done slowly.

The Five Elements Sect was the sect with the most spiritual medicines in Yunzhou. Lin Jiang was ready to help the Lin family with spiritual medicines, which would not violate the sect's rules.

For example, for high-level spiritual medicines, the Five Elements Sect often gives out some seeds or seedlings at a discounted price or even for free. Why does the Five Elements Sect dare to do this? Because ordinary forces or independent cultivators spend hundreds or even thousands of years to grow spiritual medicines, but they don't have the means to refine them.

In the end, these spiritual medicines are either sold or hired by alchemists from large sects. The bulk of the profits are still on the sect side, and they don't lose money at all.

If it weren't for the variable of Li Ruoxu in Yunzhou, the three sects would have made countless spiritual stones with this trick, but Li Ruoxu is also smart. They know what the bottom line of the three sects is and never touch it, otherwise he would have been killed by the three sects long ago.

After getting the treasure, before Lin Jiang officially went into seclusion, he finally quietly left the sect and contacted Lin Die. He gave the little sand sculpture and the fourth-level demon pill to Lin Die and asked her to help take care of it, especially if the little sand sculpture succeeds in advancing, he will have to pass the tribulation, and it is really inconvenient for Lin Jiang to be in the sect.

Lin Die agreed. After feeding the little sand sculpture with the fourth-level demon pill, the little sand sculpture fell into a deep sleep. She didn't have to worry about it anymore. At most, it would help her when she was overcoming the tribulation. After

making sufficient preparations, Lin Jiang went into seclusion. The location was Zhang Wanjing's cave. By breaking through here, Lin Jiang could save the expense of using the spirit gathering array to gather spiritual energy, which could save a lot of money. However, Zhang Wanjing would not be able to practice in the next one or two years, because once he practiced, he would inevitably compete with Lin Jiang for spiritual energy, which would kill Lin Jiang.

"From practicing Qi to building the foundation, the spiritual energy is compressed from gas to liquid. From building the foundation to the golden elixir, the spiritual energy is compressed from liquid to solid. The most difficult process is the moment when the liquid spiritual energy changes. It is very mysterious and everyone's situation is different."

Lin Jiang sat in the quiet room, recalling some key points of the elixir in his mind. There are a lot of predecessors' experience in elixir formation in the sect, and he has seen it many times.

However, everyone's situation is different, and it cannot be copied. It still needs to be combined with your own situation.

After careful recollection, Lin Jiang began to break through. At this time, he had advanced to the great perfection of foundation building for many years. The spiritual energy in his body was extremely viscous, like rice paste, and it could not grow any more. If he continued to practice, it would solidify.

"First use Rongling Pill. If it fails, you can try again. Finally, use Wuxing Jinguo Pill."

Lin Jiang made a decision. Rongling Pill, Tailing Pill, and Wuxing Jinguo Pill are all treasures for forming pills, but they are also different from each other. Wuxing Jinguo Pill will be more suitable for his physique, but there is only one pill, so he dare not take it rashly. He still uses Rongling Pill to explore the way.

After taking the pill, according to the experience of the predecessors, Lin Jiang was in seclusion.

"Puff"

Half a year later, Lin Jiang spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was listless, and at the last moment, he failed.

He climbed out of the quiet room with difficulty. Zhang Wanjing had already sensed it and was waiting at the door.

"Are you okay, Xiao Yi?"

"The main meridian is not injured, give me time to recuperate." "

Don't be too anxious."

"No, I have to rush up in one breath."

Lin Jiang shook his head, took out the pill and took it. For the centenary celebration of Yunzhong City, he bought a lot of healing pills, both fifth and sixth levels, just for this time. Before, he also took high-level meridian protection pills, otherwise he would be like Zhang Shuhua, severely damaged meridians, and it would take a long time to recuperate.

A year later, Lin Jiang retreated again, still taking Rongling Pill, because he was still unsure.

"My Sun, your uncle, can't you let me save some spirit stones?"

After another eight months, Lin Jiang lay on the ground and cursed. Using one less pill could save two million spirit stones, but he still failed.

Climbing out of the quiet room, Zhang Wanjing was still waiting for him. This time Zhang Wanjing didn't waste words and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

"Master, how did you know that I still have the medicine for forming the core?" "

I guessed it."

"Master, you are

very smart. I admire you." "You seem to have a lot of energy. You will definitely not die."

"Poor people rely on mutations, rich people rely on krypton gold. Master, do you know how many spirit stones I have spent?"

"What is krypton gold?"

"It means spending money."

"That's about right. You are quite rich, richer than me. I will collect your dividends for you in the past two years."

"Fuck, Master, how could you do this?"

Lin Jiang was shocked. He wanted to get up and kill Zhang Wanjing. The dividends in two years exceeded one million spirit stones.

"Before in Yunzhong City, I asked you how much you could earn in a year, and you said 400,000 spirit stones. You lied to me, and this is the punishment."

"Master, I didn't take that money by myself, I had to share it out, and you took it all, which means I have to pay out money. Master, you can't do this to me."

"That's none of my business. You made so much money under my name, so what's wrong with me taking your dividends for two years? I'll keep this money for Zhang Wenchen to practice. Even if it's a red envelope from you, the uncle, to Zhang Wenchen, you've been absent for the past two years."

"What red envelope requires a million spirit stones? No, I'm hurting, let me slow down."

Lin Jiang wanted to cry but had no tears. Zhang Wanjing's knife hurt more than his failed breakthrough, and he couldn't bear it.

Zhang Wanjing laughed, but he didn't feel bad. After knowing Lin Jiang's exact income, he was angry for a long time. This little apprentice made so much money, but he didn't show any respect to him as a master, so he deserved to be punished.

After another year of recuperation, Lin Jiang walked into the quiet room again.

"This is the last battle of desperate efforts. If I don't break through this time, I will run away."

Lin Jiang gritted his teeth. Although he claimed to be only a little over 100 years old, Zhang Wanjing knew his relationship with the Lin family and knew that Lin Jiang had already established his foundation before entering the Five Elements Sect. According to the assessment of Lin Jiang's qualifications, Lin Jiang thought that he should be around 170 or 180 years old in Zhang Wanjing's eyes.

If he failed again this time, he would have to leave the Five Elements Sect, otherwise the secret of immortality would be lost. He would keep this secret secret forever.
