Yunzhou, Five Elements Sect

Lin Jiang didn't see Zhang Wanjing until the fifth day after returning to the Five Elements Sect. He didn't know if he was really that busy.

"I read the report you sent back. I've been a little lazy recently. It's all about the news from the Shenmu Sect in Zhongzhou. There's almost no news from other places,"

Zhang Wanjing said to Lin Jiang. After Lin Jiang left without saying goodbye and resigned from the identity of the Five Elements Sect's envoy, his new mission was to collect intelligence from the entire cultivation world for the Five Elements Sect, so that the sect could have an understanding of the cultivation world. However, Lin Jiang had lived in Shenmu City for many years, so naturally he had no source of information.

"Yes, Master is right. I have been practicing in seclusion recently, so I have been slacking off."

"It's not just a matter of slacking off. You also kept it a secret."

"Master, are you referring to Xiao Lingyue's matter?"

"Of course, Xiao Lingyue is a traitor of Lingyue Sect and was taken into Lin Batian's room. The four major families in Qingzhou and Shenmu Sect have fallen out again. Shenmu Sect and Lingyue Sect no longer have the friendly relationship they had before. Isn't this important?"

"It was my negligence."

Lin Jiang did not refute. Xiao Lingyue was in the Lin family, and he expected Zhang Shuhua to tell others about this matter, but he did not expect Zhang Wanjing to bring it up now.

"Don't make this kind of mistake in the future."

"Disciple knows that I was wrong and will not make it again in the future. " "

What's the important matter for you to come back this time?"

"No, I just miss Master and the sect, so I came back to see it." "

Aren't you going to stay?"

"Disciple still wants to go around and see it again,"

Lin Jiang said. He didn't want to stay. Staying would be embarrassing.

He had not been in the sect for a long time, and had never been with Zhang Wanjing. If he came back, he would break the balance of interests around Zhang Wanjing.

Lin Jiang felt that even if he came back, he would not be able to get the benefits he had before, and some of them would definitely be divided up. It would be better for him to stay in Shenmu City for a long time. His business in Shenmu City has been stable. Although the income is not as good as before, it is not low.

"It's good to go out and have a look. It will help to broaden your horizons. If you come back, it's okay. The sect still needs your efforts. Now the situation in Yunzhou is very chaotic, and the Five Elements Sect cannot be affected.     " "Yes, Master

. "

"If you have nothing to do, go and rest first. I still have things to do." "Yes, Master."     Lin Jiang left silently, feeling heavy and complicated.     After picking up a pot of wine, Lin Jiang found Yu Wanke again. Yu Wanke smiled and said, "I knew you would come back."     "Just like you said a few days ago, my master is very different from before."     "I told you a long time ago, but you still didn't believe it. How is it, what kind of feeling?"     "It's good."     "It's good, you are stupid, this is different from before."     "It's really good,"     said Lin Jiang. He had only received news from the sect bit by bit before, but now that he is back, he feels that the sect is different.     Zhang Wanjing has taken over all the power, and his character is more decisive than before, his tactics are tougher, and even his heart is harder, which makes it difficult for people around him to accept.     But from the perspective of the sect, Zhang Wanjing's character is very beneficial to the sect, and it is greatly beneficial to the development of the sect. This is also the case. At this time, the Five Elements Sect is stronger than before the Yunzhou War, and it has more stamina. Lin Jiang has seen many young disciples in the past few days. They are the hope of the sect.     "You and your master, tut tut, really deserve to be from the same school."     Yu Wanke heard Lin Jiang's words and finally shook his head. For a moment, he didn't know how to judge.     "I'm speaking with facts. I'd like to ask, how does the current Five Elements Sect compare to the Zhongxing Sect and Yunjian Sect?"     "It's better. The two sects haven't fully recovered their vitality in nearly a hundred years, and the Five Elements Sect has surpassed it except for the Transformation of the Spirit."     "Then have you ever thought about why?"     "This..."     "Brother, you're right. It's because of my master Zhang Wanjing. He is overbearing and authoritarian     , and he has all the power. But because of this, the sect's decisions can be implemented unimpeded." Lin Jiang said. Zhang Wanjing is now like a powerful minister in the mortal dynasty. He holds great power and his overbearing way of doing things makes people dislike him. But in fact, it is also his way of doing things that makes the Five Elements Sect's strength grow rapidly. If he can't bring benefits to the Five Elements Sect, the Transformation of the Spirit of the Five Elements Sect will not let him be so presumptuous.     "You are right, but what does this have to do with you and me?"     Yu Wanke said lightly. No matter how well Zhang Wanjing does, he doesn't benefit directly. In fact, he has lost more benefits because he has retreated to the second line. Naturally, he is indignant.     "Haha, let's not talk about this, let's drink."     Lin Jiang laughed and quickly changed the subject. He knew what Yu Wanke's mentality was. It was very normal. If Lin Jiang did not develop outside, he would still be resentful. This is called the butt determines the head, and it is the same everywhere.

The two stopped talking about it and concentrated on drinking. Yu Wanke's topic was more about his descendants. The immortal world and mortals are the same. If he can't achieve the goal, he hopes that his descendants can achieve it.

Yu Wanke failed to break through to the Nascent Soul, so he hopes that his descendants can do it. Now there are people among his descendants who have excellent aptitude and comprehension. Yu Wanke has high hopes for him, hoping that he can reach the Nascent Soul one day and protect the family for thousands of years.

After drinking this wine, Lin Jiang did not leave immediately, and continued to stay in the Five Elements Sect. He even applied to the sect for a golden elixir cave, and the sect agreed.

The new cave was left over from the previous golden elixir, and Lin Jiang did not dislike it. He cleaned it up, changed the formation, and moved in. After that, Lin Jiang went to Zhang Wanjing's cave to see the purple source fruit.

The purple source fruit was brought back by Zhang Wanjing for more than a hundred years, and one of them was about to mature. Judging from Lin Jiang's level of spiritual plant husband, this time would not exceed thirty years.

Lin Jiang couldn't wait for this one. He couldn't reach the peak of the golden elixir in thirty years. Zhang Shuhua had a chance to make a breakthrough. Lin Jiang was waiting for the one with the shortest medicinal age. According to his estimate, it would take about two hundred years. After

two hundred years, Lin Jiang's age recorded in the Five Elements Sect was only more than three hundred years old, and Zhang Wanjing knew only more than four hundred years old. This benefit could still be obtained.

Of course, this also required Zhang Wanjing's willingness to give it, because this was his personal property.

"If I didn't look for you, you would just run away and never come back, right?"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jiang had been back to the Five Elements Sect for two months. During these two months, Lin Jiang hadn't looked for Zhang Wanjing again. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Jiang was ready to say goodbye. At this time, Zhang Wanjing appeared and said to Lin Jiang unhappily.

"How can the master say that? The master is busy with all kinds of things, and the apprentice is not inconvenient to disturb him too much."

Lin Jiang said with a smile. The master and the apprentice had not seen each other for two months, which was actually a kind of wrestling, and Lin Jiang currently had the upper hand. He was not in vain in psychological warfare.

"Lin Die from the Lin family said that you are narrow-minded and petty, and she was right."

"Master is right."

"Are you coming again?"

"No, it's boring and tiring."

Lin Jiang said with a smile. He was indeed very tired. It was very tiring to pretend to be strong when talking and doing things like this.

"Just stop pretending. How about, come back to the Five Elements Sect. I have the final say in the Five Elements Sect now. Come back and help me."

"Not coming back."

"Are you still angry? If you come back, I will give you all your previous dividends. After these decades, you will have 400 to 500 million spirit stones. What do you think?"

"It has nothing to do with this. I didn't come back because I was afraid that it would be difficult for my master. I have been away from the sect for too long. The foundation and team are gone. Some are dead, some are old, and there is no benefit to involve other people. If I intervene rashly, it will break the unity of the people under the master, which is not conducive to the balance."

"This is a small matter."

"It's not a small matter. The higher the cultivation level, the more resources are required. The previous resources were not enough for me to form a baby, so I will need more."

"You have one Purple Source Dao Fruit,"

said Zhang Wanjing. The Purple Source Dao Fruit was used by him to attract those Jindan disciples, but one was enough, and he could still give Lin Jiang what he should give.

"Okay, I'm going to show my cards. Master should know that I also have an industry in Shenmu City, and I'm doing well. I want to work harder."

"Other people's territories are not as stable as our own mountain gate."

"This is exciting, isn't it?"

Lin Jiang said with a smile. When was his own mountain gate stable? Didn't you say that you wouldn't give dividends? At least Shenmu Sect doesn't dare to do this to merchants.

"It seems that I can't keep you."

"Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up, and sons have to be separated when they grow up. It's good for disciples to fly out now that their wings are strong. Besides, the power of the sect in other states is too weak. Disciples can also work for the sect outside. As long as the sect doesn't force me to stand on the side of the sect and the Lin family, I will definitely be the most loyal disciple of the sect."

"Aren't you afraid that one day the Lin family and the Five Elements Sect will become enemies?"

"With the life span of my disciples, I shouldn't wait until that day, so I'm not afraid."

Lin Jiang said, things will be discussed at that time. If he is strong enough at that time, he will forcibly mediate the conflict between the two sects. If he is not strong enough, he will run away and no one will care.

Zhang Wanjing suddenly fell silent. He knew that his behavior had disappointed his disciple. Otherwise, Lin Jiang would never have treated him like this.

"Master, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"No hurry. I will give you one more thing to do."

"Please tell me, Master."

"Something happened in Anhua City. You go..."

Zhang Wanjing explained in detail. Lin Jiang frowned when he heard it.
