Five Elements Sect, Mountain Gate

Zhang Wanjing returned to the cave, and the family had already prepared meals. Zhang Shuhua's wife had given birth to a second child, and the younger one had to eat every day, so Zhang Wanjing resumed the habit of eating every day. Otherwise, he used to practice fasting, and he would not starve to death even if he did not eat or drink in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Is Wenchen back too?"

Zhang Wanjing asked when he saw his grandson coming out of the room. Zhang Wenchen was already fourteen years old. Two years ago, his spiritual roots were detected and he was sent to the Shanxuetang to practice. He was not at home on weekdays.

"Grandpa, I didn't come back because I was lazy. It was grandma who asked me to come back."

"Okay, I don't blame you. Sit down and eat."

Zhang Wanjing nodded. He was a serious person, and Zhang Wenchen was very afraid of him, even more than Zhang Shuhua.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"What have you learned recently in Shanxuetang?"

"Master taught me some basic knowledge of formations, and I got full A's."

"That's fine, you can learn more about formations. Our Five Elements Sect's formations are a weak point. Since the last generation of formation masters passed away, no one has been able to break through to the sixth-level formation master."

"Dad, the formations taught in Shanxuetang are just rough, not even first-level formation masters, and they don't teach how to be formation masters."

Zhang Shuhua said. Shanxuetang teaches knowledge of alchemy, talismans, and formations, but it only gives a brief introduction and doesn't go deep at all. It's common sense. You're already a sixth-level formation master, wouldn't it be better to start earlier?

"It's also a good thing to keep him interested. Sixth-level formation masters also come from mortals, there's nothing wrong with

that." "Whatever you say is what it is."

"Eat, eat, don't talk about these things at home."

Madam Zhang glared at Zhang Wanjing. The family finally got together to eat, why are you talking about these things? You haven't talked enough in the sect.

Zhang Wanjing instantly became obedient and stopped talking. After dinner, Zhang Shuhua's wife began to clean up the dishes. Zhang Wanjing didn't have servants at home, which he didn't like, so the Zhang family declined the servants arranged by the sect. Otherwise, with the privilege of Yuanying, they could have a certain number of servants, and the expenses were all paid by the sect.

Zhang Wanjing made a pot of tea and walked into the study. Zhang Shuhua followed him in. As a senior official, there were always things to do.

"Did you know that the Black Clothes Hall dealt with Zou Yu's nephew today?"

"I know, but Dad helped, otherwise Zou Yu's nephew would have been expelled from the sect."

"You've done a terrible job in the past two years. You don't have the ability of your junior brother,"

Zhang Wanjing said very dissatisfiedly. When Lin Jiang was around, he would knock on Wei Yunshen, Zou Yu and others to restrain their behavior, but Zhang Shuhua didn't have this ability.

"Dad, Junior Brother is too deeply involved with them, I can't make sense

of it" "There's nothing to make sense of, you just didn't put your mind into this aspect"

"Yes, Dad, I know I'm wrong"

"Forget it, your Junior Brother will soon be out of retreat, let him go when the time comes"

"I want to try again"

"Don't try, you're not that kind of material, your practice is enough, you have to hurry up, there are many people staring at my purple source fruits now, if the purple source fruits are ripe, your cultivation is not perfect, Dad can't keep them for you"

Zhang Wanjing said, he had to admit that Lin Jiang gathered a group of people around him through a series of businesses, Zhang Wanjing has been doing things very smoothly in the past few years, no matter what he does, there are people helping him, and the position is not low, the energy is very large.

This is completely different from when he was in the golden elixir, at that time he had so many people under him, and he had to take the lead in everything he did, to spray people, and often failed to do it.

There are many talented people in this group, not only in terms of their ability to do things, but also in terms of their cultivation. Another reason why those golden elixirs are so obedient is that Zhang Wanjing has the Purple Source Dao Fruit, which can help them advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

But there are only four Purple Source Dao Fruits left, which are not enough, so they have to be treated separately. Although he is strict with his son, he does not care about him. If he wants to leave one for Zhang Shuhua, there must be a reason.

"Yes, Dad."

Zhang Shuhua nodded, and he did not refute. These two years were indeed exhausting, and it was too difficult to deal with all kinds of people.

Zhang Wanjing was about to say something, when suddenly a spiritual pressure came. Zhang Wanjing's face immediately lit up and said, "Your junior brother has broken through"

·······

"Ah..."

With a long roar, Lin Jiang jumped three feet high on the spot, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

"It took four and a half years, and consumed three Jindan treasures, and finally succeeded."

Lin Jiang laughed. With the experience of the first two failures, the third Jindan finally succeeded. He is now a dignified Jindan ancestor.

"It took half my life to form a pill, and it cost 7 or 8 million spirit stones. It's really not easy. I should go to the palace banquet in Yaocheng to celebrate for three days."

Lin Jiang sighed again. Three Jindan pills cost almost 6 million spirit stones, and there are also healing and auxiliary ones. It costs 7 or 8 million spirit stones casually. How can ordinary people afford it?

"Before, studying and getting scholarships counted as making money. Now, if you have a good talent, you can make money by getting the sect's elixirs. But why don't I have this fate?"

Lin Jiang shook his head, envying those geniuses. Their elixirs were given by the sect and they didn't cost any money at all. It was really frustrating to compare with others.

After consolidating for another two days, Lin Jiang finally came out of retreat. Zhang Wanjing and others were waiting for Lin Jiang.

"Junior brother, you finally came out of retreat"

"After going through so much hardship, it was finally not in vain"

Lin Jiang laughed. He was in high spirits when he was happy. He was now full of joy.

"Good, good"

"Senior brother, is this your second child?"

Lin Jiang saw the child in Zhang Shuhua's arms, probably only one or two years old. He was in retreat, and Zhang Shuhua even had a second child.

"Call me uncle"

"Uncle"

"Hey, the little guy has a nice voice, what's his name?"

"Zhang Wenxin"

"Not bad, a little cultured"

Lin Jiang wanted to roll his eyes. This name is not cultured. If he is sent to kindergarten, there will definitely be many people with the same name, no different from those names like Ke Xin and Xin Yi.

"My father gave it to him, so he must be cultured"

"Haha, yes, Master is cultured"

Lin Jiang smiled awkwardly, and his little action must have been seen by Zhang Wanjing.

Zhang Shuhua prepared a table of food to celebrate Lin Jiang. The three masters and apprentices had a few drinks. Zhang Shuhua talked about what happened in Lin Jiang's retreat in the past few years.

"What happened to you in the past few years? Didn't I teach you how to check and balance them?"

Lin Jiang was unhappy when he heard it. He had specially taught Zhang Shuhua before the retreat. There were two key points for this group of people to gather together. The first was Zhang Wanjing's background, and the second was interests, that is, the businesses that Lin Jiang promoted. Grasping these two points, they were not afraid that they would not be obedient.

"Xiao Yi, don't blame him. Shuhua is too soft-hearted towards his own people and can't do it. You are the one who needs to do this."

"Master, don't worry. These people are arrogant when they succeed. Then I will let them know who feeds them and who gives them the opportunity to succeed."

"Okay, you handle it."

"Okay."

Lin Jiang nodded. In recent years, the people around him have indeed become a little arrogant. Lin Jiang doesn't care how they spend money and how they enjoy themselves. At most, he can be considered high-profile. But if he wants to destroy their basic base, Lin Jiang can't help it.

He must let them know why the flowers are so red and let them see the methods of Uncle Lin.

"Let's not talk about this. Today is a good day for you to come out of retreat. Let's drink today."

"Well, you are right. I am happy today. Let's not talk about this thing that spoils the fun. Brother, please ask those Jindan brothers to come over in a few days. I will treat them to a drink."

Lin Jiang nodded. Let's not talk about this today. Don't spoil his interest. Hurry up and finish the drink. After drinking, he will go to the palace banquet to celebrate for himself. It is not right not to go to the palace banquet for such a big happy event.
