The remnants of the four major sects in Qingzhou

, which had been silent for decades, went out again. This time, the focus of the operation was assassination. For a time, there were countless assassins in Qingzhou.

The strength of these assassins was not high, mainly building foundation and golden elixir. They lived far away from the mountain gates of the four major families and the big cities under their command. They chose the places where the four major families were weak to assassinate their potential children and backbone members.

In less than three months, hundreds of members of the four major families were killed. The four major families were furious and sent elite troops to counterattack. The two sides fought continuously.

However, this was just the beginning. As Lin Batian led the high-level cultivators to attack an important place of the Yu family, the intensity of the war between the two sides immediately increased, and Qingzhou was once again full of flames.

······

Yunzhou,

Lin Jiang of the Five Elements Sect came back. Zhang Wanjing asked him to come back. The order was passed from the sect to Zhang Shuhua, and the Lin family handed it over to Lin Jiang. Zhang Shuhua has been in the Lin family for many years.

But they are not from Beizhou, but distributed in other places. Lin wanted to hide, so he arranged Zhang Shuhua to other places. It was also because of this that the Five Elements Sect could not confirm the news about Lin, and needed Lin Jiang to come back to report.

"The above is my speculation about the strength of Lin. What I know is only part of it, so the data is true or false, and I cannot guarantee it. I hope you uncles will consider it carefully."

The first thing he did after returning was that Zhang Wanjing asked Lin Jiang to provide the strength of Lin, and Lin Jiang did not refuse. However, Lin Jiang rarely participated in the affairs of Xiaotian City, so what he could do was to speculate the strength of Lin based on the business name, and exaggerated it by three points.

Exaggerating three points is to help Lin. As an independent force, the Five Elements Sect needs to investigate the strength of Lin to form an alliance with it. The stronger the strength, the stronger the willingness to form an alliance. Cooperation between forces is more realistic than individuals.

Several Yuanying elders looked at each other and were a little surprised. According to Lin Jiang's confession, the current number of Jindan in Lin is about 40, including five Yuanying, three Huashen, and one Fanxu.

After removing Lin Batian, the Return to Void, such a force is only slightly weaker than the Five Elements Sect. It can be said to be extremely strong, but the Lin family is just a family, and it has been developed for less than 600 years. This is a very scary thing.

"Xiao Yi, in your opinion, how likely is it that the Lin family will have a decisive battle with Qingzhou this time?"

"Impossible"

"Not at all possible?"

"No, Lin Batian is not a match for Hedao, so they can't have a decisive battle with Qingzhou. Lin Batian's actions sometimes seem rash, but in fact they are all carefully considered and based on his strength.

Of course, if he has any trump cards, I can't say for sure. After all, I am just a Jindan with limited vision."

Lin Jiang said, Lin Batian has never stopped practicing, and has not stopped practicing the secret techniques of the four major families, but Lin Jiang knows that Lin Batian has not reached the point where he can kill Hedao. If he really has this strength, Lin Batian would have taken action long ago.

But the possibility of Lin Batian destroying the four major families is very high, because he has a human pill in his hand, and his practice speed will be very fast.

"Okay, I got it. You can go down and have a rest."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Jiang bowed and left. After leaving the hall, Lin Jiang went straight to the Internal Affairs Hall.

Apart from other things, he had to get the salary for the past few decades. This was what he deserved. The business he had left behind was in Zhang Wanjing's hands. He had no share, but he could still get the salary.

Compared with when Lin Jiang came back decades ago, the people in the Internal Affairs Hall had changed again. There were still some familiar faces last time, but now there were few familiar faces.

In the entire Five Elements Sect, Lin Jiang could not find many acquaintances. Apart from Zhang Wanjing and his son, there might only be one Jiang Shu left, but Lin Jiang did not go to find him. He had no interest in seeing old friends.

Lin Jiang took the salary and came to Zhang Wanjing's cave. Zhang Shuhua's wife had also passed away. She only had the foundation-building stage. Zhang Wenchen lived with Zhang Wanjing with his family. Zhang Wenxin was married and was already a grandmother.

"Qingqing, call me uncle."

Zhang Wenchen brought a two or three-year-old child and asked the child to call people. The child called timidly.

"Your grandson?"

"The second grandson, the eldest grandson is already eight years old."

"When I saw him, I thought of you back then. You were also this young, and I lied to you and still called me dad."

"Really? Then was I beaten by my dad?"

"No, your dad is very happy."

Lin Jiang laughed. Zhang Shuhua also wanted Zhang Wenchen to be his godson, but Lin Jiang didn't want it.

"Uncle and my father have a close relationship, which is normal. Unfortunately, I am old and uncle is still young."

"Your father looks young too."

"Yes, this is the world of immortal cultivators,"

said Zhang Wenchen. His cultivation stopped at the foundation building stage. He tried to reach the golden elixir stage but failed. Now he has given up and left the resources to the next generation.

In the immortal cultivation world, there is no rule that each generation must be stronger than the previous one. If the qualifications of the next generation cannot keep up, the most important task is to reproduce the next generation, relying on the accumulation of generation after generation until a peerless genius is born.

"You shouldn't give up practicing. You should try more."

"I don't want to make things difficult for my grandfather. My aptitude is not that good. It's far behind those geniuses. Now my grandfather has many descendants, and the resources are left for more important people."

"Your father will be very sad then."

"There's nothing I can do about being sad. Birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature. I have lived a good life and have never worried about resources for practice. Everything has been smooth sailing. Perhaps that's why I failed to break through to the Golden Elixir. Everything is predestined. My father should be able to understand."

"You have a good attitude."

"Of course. Now my wife is still alive, my son is filial, and my grandson is around. I no longer worry about practice, nor do I work hard for food and clothing. I play with my grandchildren every day, and grow some flowers and plants when I'm free. There is no happiness in life more than this."

Zhang Wenchen said. He is very satisfied with his current life, which is peaceful and harmonious, warm and happy. Most importantly, his family is around him.

Lin Jiang expressed his blessing to him. Perhaps for the people in the world of immortal cultivation, being able to enjoy their old age is a very happy thing. If you don't believe it, look at the immortal cultivators in the outside world. How many people can live to their old age? There are countless miserable people.

While talking, Zhang Wanjing had already returned. Zhang Wenchen made a few side dishes, sent a pot of wine, and left a quiet space for the two.

"It's been decades, and you haven't sent a letter yet."

"It's not very convenient. I can't ruin the Lin family's stage."

"Blood ties are more important than the relationship between master and apprentice."

"Does this count as Master being jealous?"

"Haha, count it if you say so."

Zhang Wanjing laughed. The little apprentice is still not serious, but he is still an old friend.

More than a hundred years have passed, and old friends at Zhang Wanjing's level are slowly withering and sitting. There are fewer and fewer old friends, and life is getting more and more lonely.

"I want to ask Master for something when I come back this time."

"You tell me."

"I want to take a piece of the Purple Source Dao Fruit."

"You haven't reached the Golden Core Perfection yet, are you in such a hurry?"

"Prepare in advance, it will be soon."

Lin Jiang said, but Zhang Wanjing was silent. Lin Jiang had been away for too long, so long that the people around him almost forgot about Lin Jiang, and the relationship between master and disciple also slowly faded in more than a hundred years of separation.

The talented disciples of the Five Elements Sect continued to pour out, and there were countless people staring at a Purple Source Dao Fruit. Zhang Wanjing began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

"I have a share of the Purple Source Dao Fruit, Master."

"I know."

"Then you should give it to me, this is what I deserve."

"I remember."

"Then you give it to me."

Of course, Lin Jiang said this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"The Purple Source Dao Fruit is very useful to me. The Yuanying of the Five Elements Sect is very old. The sect needs fresh blood. Resources should be provided to the best disciples."

"I boast that except for my cultivation qualifications, I am not inferior to anyone."

"I know this too."

"I lack this very much. My life span is not much. I only have one chance to impact the Yuanying. I don't want to miss this opportunity. Master should know my character. I will not give up even at the last moment."

"Give me some time to think about it."

"No, Master, you have to give me an answer before this drink is finished. I have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. Gratitude is gratitude and hatred is hatred. I don't want other people's things, and I can't give them to others for free unless I am willing."

Lin Jiang directly pushed back. If Zhang Wanjing was asked to calm down and weigh the pros and cons, he would never give them. Lin Jiang believed this very much.

Zhang Wanjing frowned, looked up at Lin Jiang, and re-examined this disciple. He had been away for too long, and he had forgotten his character.

Lin Jiang raised his head and looked at Zhang Wanjing. The air solidified at this moment.

Many memories appeared in Zhang Wanjing's mind, the Medicine City, the Internal Affairs Hall, the Outer Gate, the Wilderness, one memory after another emerged in his mind, making Zhang Wanjing feel mixed emotions.
