In Yunzhou,

in Zhang Wanjing's cave of the Five Elements Sect, Lin Jiang personally picked a ripe Purple Source Dao Fruit. Lin Jiang calculated the time to come back. He had planned to wait for another ripe one before, but now he won't wait.

"Dad, there are still small ones there, pick a few more to take back,"

the little sand sculpture said instigatingly. There are more than one or two Purple Source Dao Fruits, now there are twenty or thirty, all of which are transplanted from the previously ripe Purple Source Dao Fruits. The Five Elements Sect has powerful spiritual plant husbands, so it is not difficult to do this.

"What do you want that thing for? It's less than two hundred years old, and I don't know how long it will take to mature,"

Lin Jiang said. It takes at least a thousand years for the Purple Source Dao Fruit to germinate from seeds, to seedlings, to mature bodies, and then to bear fruit. It takes hundreds of years for a tree that has grown fruit to bear fruit again. These Purple Source Dao Fruits are still quite tender and useless.

"They look green, take them back and cook them."

"Are you serious?"

"Can't we eat them?"

"Yes, but this stuff can only be used to cook bird wings."

"Haha, I'm kidding, Master, damn it, don't pick them, I'm really kidding."

The little idiot was panicking. The master really wanted to pick them, and his bird wings could not be saved.

"Almost done."

Zhang Wanjing's voice came. He didn't show up, out of sight, out of mind. He promised to give the Purple Source Dao Fruit to Lin Jiang, which was a great decision. These seedlings were also planted by the sect with great effort. Hundreds of them were transplanted before and after, and only a few survived. Don't always fleece the sect.

"Thank you, Master."

Lin Jiang was a little embarrassed. The old man was staring at him, so he picked two and put them in a jade box. They can still survive if planted later.

"If you have nothing else to do, go back early. Don't forget what I told you."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Jiang bowed and left. Zhang Wanjing was indeed a cunning old man. He talked to Lin Jiang about some things about the Lin family. From Lin Jiang's tone, expression and details of the conversation, he inferred the alienation between Lin Jiang and the Lin family. He immediately said that the Five Elements Sect would always be the home of the Lin family.

Then he told Lin Jiang that he had no ill will towards the Lin family, but just wanted to know the approximate strength of the Lin family for better cooperation. To put it bluntly, he still wanted Lin Jiang to be an insider and provide him with accurate information. Lin Jiang agreed to everything, of course perfunctorily, otherwise it would be really difficult to get the Purple Source Dao Fruit.

Yunzhou, Anhua City

It has been decades since Wen Xing took over Anhua City. Anhua City seems to have gotten used to Wen Xing being in power. As for the absurd things Wen Xing did at the beginning, not many people care. After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, having three wives and four concubines is too normal. Moreover, Wen Xing seems to have awakened from the love between men and women in recent years, concentrating on refining pills and managing the city, and has become a qualified city lord.

"City Lord Wen"

Lin Jiang saluted Wen Xing. This was the first time the two had a serious exchange since Anhua City. Although they had met several times during this period, they did not have much connection.

"How should I call you, Lin's son or Xiao Yi, a disciple of Zhang Wanjing of the Five Elements Sect"

"It's all right, but today I'm here on behalf of the Lin family"

"I understand, please speak"

"This is a little gift from my patriarch"

Lin Jiang took out a storage bag and put it in front of Wen Xing and said.

This time when he returned to Yunzhou, Lin Jiang had another mission, which was to convey some intentions for Lin Batian, although Lin Jiang did not know when Lin Batian had contacted Wen Xing.

"Thank you, Master Lin, do you have anything else to say?"

"No verbal message, everything you want to say is in this jade slip."

Then Lin Jiang took out another jade slip and gave it to Wen Xing to read. Wen Xing took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense.

"I know, reply to your master, I will do what he says, please rest assured."

"Yes, I have delivered the message, goodbye."

"No hurry, guests are guests, eat first and then leave."

"This..."

"You are not afraid that I will attack you, I dare not offend you,"

Wen Xing said. He is the son of the Lin family and the direct disciple of Zhang Wanjing. How dare he offend a small Yuanying?

"Then I'm sorry to bother you,"

Lin Jiang nodded. Lin Jiang decided to stay for a meal, just to see what Wen Xing was up to.

Wen Xing hosted a banquet for Lin Jiang that night. The scene was very luxurious, with high-level officials from Anhua City accompanying him, singing and dancing performances in the middle, and two beautiful singing girls accompanying Lin Jiang.

What surprised Lin Jiang was that among the high-ranking officials who accompanied him was the son of Wen Xing and Li Ruoxu's daughter. He remembered that these people were sent away by Wen Xing, so why did they come back again?

The words were very polite, and they were all irrelevant. Wen Xing, like Zhang Wanjing, intended to inquire about the news of the Lin family, and Lin Jiang responded calmly. The banquet

lasted until the second half of the night. Wen Xing left, and Lin Jiang also said goodbye. He did not leave immediately, but stayed in Wen Xing's mansion. The two singing girls who accompanied him had already slipped into the bed.

"Dad, I want one too. Two you can't control."

The little idiot wanted to follow him into the room, but was kicked out by Lin Jiang. Even if you can't control this kind of thing, you have to try your best to control it. How can you be a coward?

At noon the next day, Lin Jiang and the little idiot with a face full of resentment left. Passing the Five Elements Sect, Zhang Wanjing appeared.

"Why is the master here?

" "I'm waiting for you.

" "Master, do you have any other instructions?"     "

Did you go to Anhua City yesterday?"

"Yes,"

Lin Jiang nodded. There was nothing to hide.

"With your intelligence, guess what I'm waiting for you for." "Is it related to Wen Xing?     " "Yes, but not."     "It can't be Li Ruoxu."     "Guessed it right."     "The grass on Li Ruoxu's grave should be several feet high now,"     Lin Jiang said. Li Ruoxu has been sitting for decades. It's not surprising that the grass on the grave is several feet high.     "That's right, but"     "Master has also learned to keep it a secret?"     "Wen Xing is Li Ruoxu, and Li Ruoxu is Wen Xing"     "Possession?"     Lin Jiang was shocked and blurted out.     "It's just a guess, but it's probably true."     "Now that you put it that way, I'm basically sure."     "Oh."     "As far as I know, Wen Xing is very fond of women, isn't he?"     "Not inferior to the head of the Lin family."     "Ahem."     Lin Jiang coughed. You are not a human son, you are scolding your father.     "In the first ten years after Li Ruoxu's death, Wen Xing took in many wives and concubines, and even boasted that he would marry all the daughters of the powerful forces in Yunzhou. But in the tenth year, his temperament suddenly changed. He stopped taking concubines and focused on practicing and running Anhua City. There are also rumors that Wen Xing wanted to kill his son, his son with Li Ruoxu's daughter Li Lingling."     "Wen Xing's behavior last night was not as dissolute as before."     Lin Jiang nodded. Lin Jiang also thought that Wen Xing behaved quite gentlemanly last night and arranged a singing girl for them, but he didn't have one by his side. Before, Lin Jiang thought that Wen Xing wanted to maintain some demeanor in front of his son, but now thinks that it is not the case at all.     Wen Xing is not that kind of person. He dared to take in many wives and concubines after his father-in-law died, so why would he be afraid of this? It's good enough that he didn't have a silver party. How could he be so honest.     "That's basically it."     "But as far as I know, it's not easy to take over     someone's body." Lin Jiang said. The requirements for taking over someone's body are very high. First of all, the spiritual consciousness must be extremely strong. After the death of the physical body, the spiritual consciousness can still maintain a certain strength, because taking over the body is to destroy the opponent's soul, or to fight in the opponent's body, without a certain strength, it won't work.     Secondly, the person who takes over the body must have a certain degree of fit with the body of the person being taken over, otherwise there will be a great rejection reaction, which will cause the physical body and the soul to collapse at the same time.     Finally, the qualifications of the person whose body is taken over must be considered. It is a very bad thing for a genius to take over a waste.     "Then don't you think Li Ruoxu and Wen Xing just meet all the conditions?"     "Li Ruoxu and Wen Xing are both Nascent Souls, and their souls..."     "So this is the role of Lin Batian, the Lin family should have some secret methods, right?"     "Yes, but the four major families have never heard of possession, and the entire cultivation world has rarely heard of it."     "Possession is also a taboo method in the cultivation world. Of course, it is not openly, but who knows in secret?"     "Then what is the purpose of the master today?"     "I wanted to take the opportunity to annex Anhua City,"     Zhang Wanjing said. Anhua City is getting stronger and stronger, and it is getting closer to the Five Elements Sect. The Five Elements Sect has to nip in the bud and snuff out some signs that can threaten the Five Elements Sect.     "Master has changed his mind again?"     "Yes, I don't know how close the relationship between Li Ruoxu and Lin Batian is. Return to the Void, my Five Elements Sect can't afford to offend,"     Zhang Wanjing said. The Five Elements Sect does not have a single Return to the Void, so it must be considering the factor of Lin Batian, otherwise he would have taken action long ago.     "Are you going to embarrass me again?"     "Not to embarrass you, just tell Lin Batian that if Li Ruoxu really possesses someone else's body, you can consider letting him leave Yunzhou. The Five Elements Sect is willing to pay a certain price to take over Anhua City."     "Okay, I'll tell you."     Lin Jiang nodded. The Five Elements Sect became more and more powerful under Zhang Wanjing's governance. It was normal for them to expand, and it was not strange to expand in the direction of Anhua City.     Lin Jiang was not going to care about this matter. As long as it was not his body, he would pretend not to know.
