Yunzhou, Anhua City

"Have you heard that Wen Xing hasn't dealt with anything for half a month, and has been a bridegroom every night"

"I've heard that any single female cultivator with a little fame in the city can now be called Mrs. Wen"

"Haha, Wen Xing can be called Wen Lang in the future"

"What Wen Lang? You should call him Wen Daddy. Didn't you hear that he wants to marry all the beauties in the 28 sects and 76 cities of Yunzhou, one from each sect and city, and be the father of the entire Yunzhou"

In the restaurant in Anhua City, after only about a month, Lin Jiang heard that the content of ordinary cultivators' discussions has changed. Before, they missed Li Ruoxu, but now they are teasing Wen Xing.

To make people tease, there must be gimmicks, and Wen Xing provided countless gimmicks, such as collecting most of the famous single female cultivators in the city, and asking his vassals to pay tribute to beauties, etc.

He himself worked tirelessly, worked hard every day, and was a bridegroom every night, wishing to create a whole family within a year.

"If you want to have a son, you should have one like City Lord Wen. This is the role model for our generation of immortal cultivators."

"Haha, if I can be City Lord Wen for a day, it's worth dying."

"With your small body, you'll be dead in half a day."

"Male and female affairs are trivial matters. Has anyone in each sect emphasized that they only need one wife? Look at Li Ruoxu, who cherished one person and kept only one daughter, but in the end, the family business was left to outsiders. This is a lesson."

"Yes, although Wen Xing did not do it right, it is understandable. Let's see what Wen Xing does next. As long as he can do it well, these are trivial matters."

In the discussion, it was not all derogatory. Some people still maintained an attitude of appreciation, mainly because of the precedent of Li Ruoxu. With Li Ruoxu's strength, he could have as many women as he wanted, but he didn't. He only had one woman and one daughter in his life. This huge family business was cheap for Wen Xing.

Although Li Ruoxu might be able to accept this fact, most people could not accept it, so they thought that Wen Xing's move was not excessive.

This is caused by different values. It is impossible to judge who is right. It is just the choice of different people.

········

"According to my judgment, there is a 70% probability that Li Ruoxu is faking his death,"

Lin Jiang said to Zhang Wanjing at the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate.

"How did you get this 70% probability?"

"After investigation, I have come up with a comprehensive conclusion. After my many inquiries and investigations, I can be sure that Li Ruoxu is a very affectionate person. He only had one woman in his life, leaving behind a daughter, Li Yingying. He regarded his daughter as a treasure and spent a lot of money on her, so that Li Yingying lived for more than 400 years while she was still in the foundation-building stage. This price is not low."

"Continue."

"Li Ruoxu was not actually very satisfied with Wen Xing. Although he had an excellent talent for alchemy, he had a dissolute personality. It was only because Li Yingying liked him that Li Ruoxu accepted him.

According to common sense, Li Ruoxu would extend this relationship to Li Yingying's children and should have made enough arrangements for them to ensure their future. However, Li Ruoxu did not do so, which was unusual.

The second issue is the life span of Li Ruoxu. His daughter was able to extend his life by more than 200 years, so it is impossible for him to live less than this number. It stands to reason that he should live longer."

"Except for the life span you mentioned, everything else is nonsense,"

Zhang Wanjing said directly to Lin Jiang after listening. Everything Lin Jiang said had no solid evidence, and it was all speculation and fabrication.

"It's my incompetence, Master, please forgive me,"

Lin Jiang shrugged. He had already eaten the melon, and the matter had been explained, so the rest didn't matter.

"Can't you go ask Lin Batian? I'm not asking for anything. I just want to know a rough idea."

"Master, the current strength of Anhua City is still no match for the Five Elements Sect even if it is multiplied several times. Why are you in such a hurry? Just let them do whatever they want."

"You don't understand. If Li Ruoxu can live another thousand years, he can really challenge the status of the Five Elements Sect. His alchemy skills are amazing."

"It's not that the Five Elements Sect is without alchemists."

"Senior alchemists and top alchemists may be at the same level, but the real gap between the two is worlds apart. Li Ruoxu is an alchemy genius that is rare in Yunzhou in ten thousand years. Don't underestimate him."

"Okay, as long as Master is happy."

Lin Jiang felt that Zhang Wanjing was making a fuss out of nothing. It's useless for a force to rely on one person. In Lin's words, Lin Batian is powerful enough, but he still needs someone to assist him. It's useless for one person to be awesome.

"Go ask the Lin family, so that the sect can have a clear idea."

"I'll just mention it casually, but if they don't want to talk about it, I can't do anything about it."

"Okay, as long as you're willing."

"That's fine, I'll take my leave now."

"I'll make the decision, and you can advance 20 years of salary."

"Thank you, Master."

Lin Jiang bowed his hands. He accepted the small favor. Twenty years is not a small amount. There are hundreds of thousands of spirit stones there.

In the following days, Lin Jiang continued to linger in the Five Elements Sect. When he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of someone. That was Gu Pingbo, the Yuanying master who had lost motivation for the immortal path.

Before, Lin Jiang tricked Gu Pingbo to Yunzhou, and wrote a letter to Zhang Wanjing, wanting him to keep him, but unfortunately the final result was that the Five Elements Sect did not do it.

However, although Gu Pingbo did not stay in the Five Elements Sect, he stayed in Yunzhou, just over 3,000 miles east of Anhua City, occupying a small hill alone, forming a self-contained entity, and not being a vassal to anyone.

Lin Jiang bought some good wine and went to visit Gu Pingbo. Where Gu Pingbo was, there was not even a formation set up, only peach blossoms all over the mountains.

"Peach Blossom Mountain" "In

Taohuawu there is the Peach Blossom Cottage, in the Peach Blossom Cottage there is the Peach Blossom Fairy, the Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees..."

Lin Jiang stood in front of the Peach Mountain Forest and recited a poem loudly. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Pingbo appeared.

"It's you, Xiao Yi" "

Senior Gu, how are you?"

"Repeat what you just recited"

"Haha, I've written it down."

Lin Jiang took out a piece of paper, on which was the Peach Blossom Cottage Song written by Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Jiang liked the part of the poem "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through it", so he could recite it a long time ago.

"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through it, this statement is deeply in my heart"

Gu Pingbo read it again and again, and finally nodded to Lin Jiang.

"Senior, there are guests coming, won't you entertain them?"

"Come in, but there is nothing else except peach blossom wine."

"Peach blossom wine is a good thing."

Lin Jiang laughed, and then he and Gu Pingbo entered Peach Blossom Mountain. There was only a thatched cottage in the mountain, and nothing else.

"Any wine?"

"You don't have to drink it if you don't like it."

"Haha, there's nothing to dislike, senior, how is life here?"

"Very wonderful."

"How is a wonderful method?"

"No noise, no hatred, no need to worry about being killed, and no need to think about killing anyone. Farming, raising flowers, fishing every day, listening to the birds singing in the mountains, and watching the changes of the sun, moon and stars, how can it not be wonderful?"

Gu Pingbo said, his eyes calm, motionless, as if he had been immersed in this state.

"The senior's life is enviable"

"You can do it too"

"I'm just a layman, laymen can't see through the past of the world, and can only roll in the world"

"Hahaha, then you can't live here, don't let your vulgarity pollute my home"

"No, no, I came here today to see how the senior is doing, and I feel at ease seeing that the senior is so cool"

"You kid still remember to come, tricking me to come to Yunzhou, hehe"

"Didn't the senior stay here too, which means that the senior still likes it here"

"That's right, let's drink"

"Come on"

Lin Jiang raised his glass and clinked glasses with Gu Pingbo, and the two stopped talking about worldly things.

Lin Jiang listened to Gu Pingbo telling about his life here, all of which were daily details. He would even spend three days and three nights watching ants moving, and spend a month watching birds hatching eggs. All of this was vivid and interesting in his eyes.

Even Gu Pingbo would often feel regretful, regretting that he had spent so much time and energy practicing, killing, and pursuing the illusory immortality.

He also regretted that when he was in the Kingdom of God, he did not calm down and feel the current life. At that time, he only wanted to go out, which was simply foolish.

Lin Jiang did not say much about this. He and Gu Pingbo had different pursuits. Gu Pingbo had given up anything related to the immortal way. He just hoped that the remaining time would be more interesting, while Lin Jiang was still thinking about going one step further.

After a round of drinking, Gu Pingbo really didn't give Lin Jiang a chance to stay overnight. He personally sent Lin Jiang to the outside of Taohua Mountain. He took off the storage bag on his waist and said, "I don't know how many years I can live, maybe thirty years, maybe fifty years, but I have cut off my immortal path. Do me a small favor and I will give you everything here."

"Please tell me, senior."

"After I die, don't let the immortals pollute this place. Just let mortals live here. I don't ask for a long time, how about a hundred years?" "Okay.

"

"Thank you."

"Goodbye, senior."

"It's a farewell forever, hahaha."

Gu Pingbo threw out his storage bag, laughed loudly, then turned and left, singing all the way. It can be heard that he was very happy.

Lin Jiang took the storage bag, saluted Gu Pingbo, and then turned and left.
