Thirty-five young men and women in Bingzhou
looked at Lin Jiang, with admiration, respect, and fanaticism in their eyes. This was the result of Lin Jiang's brainwashing for many years.
Seeing their eyes, Lin Jiang remembered the expression of the former SS looking at the head of state, which seemed to be the same.
"Greetings, sir."
The thirty-five people saluted Lin Jiang in unison, in a uniform manner, looking very imposing.
"No need to salute."
"Congratulations to the thirty-five of you. You have withstood the severe test, but this is not the end, but the beginning of a new round of tests. But you are also lucky, because in the next test, even if you are eliminated, you still have the opportunity to stay with me..."
Lin Jiang said to everyone. At this point in the elimination round, everyone is a talent. Lin Jiang really couldn't bear to send them away, so even if they were eliminated, Lin Jiang would keep them.
Then Lin Jiang talked about the latest elimination method, which was still based on cultivation, but Lin Jiang decided to invest resources in them. Before this, these people had never eaten any pills that increased their cultivation, nor did they have any additional spiritual power supplements. In addition to knowledge, Lin Jiang only gave them sufficient spiritual beast meat and spiritual grains, etc., plus some medicinal baths to expand and stabilize the meridians.
These investments are small, but they are very energy-consuming and thoughtful. Just the aspect of obedience alone will drain all of Lin Jiang's thoughts.
Now that all 35 people have entered the middle stage of Qi training, Lin Jiang will invest resources in them, such as pills that improve cultivation, marrow cleansing pills, and spirit gathering arrays, all of which must be complete, so that they can improve their cultivation at the fastest speed.
"This stage of elimination ends at the foundation-building stage, and I will only provide five foundation-building pills..."
Lin Jiang continued. Even though he was very reluctant, Lin Jiang had to continue the elimination round, so this stage of the elimination round was still harsh, with only a one-seventh chance of getting a foundation-building pill.
After the lecture, Lin Jiang asked people to distribute resources and let them practice. Then he called a dozen of the eliminated disciples, who were also left by Lin Jiang.
"Your practice resources are the same as theirs. You have as many as they have, and you don't have to be eliminated, but you have to help me do things..."
Lin Jiang said to them. Before the Jindan stage, their treatment would not be much different from those disciples, and Lin Jiang could still afford them, but after the Jindan stage, their treatment would be much worse, after all, he had to concentrate resources to cultivate talented disciples.
After that, Lin Jiang handed them another training plan, and asked them to supervise the practice of the thirty-five people. The schedule was still full every day.
"Sir, is it the same for the second batch of disciples?"
"Yes, follow this,"
Lin Jiang said. In fact, Lin Jiang has realized the flaws of this training model. Lin Jiang knows that geniuses must have strong personalities and flexible minds, and Lin Jiang's training model is to erase their personalities and let them focus on loyalty to themselves. The disciples trained in this way will be talents, even geniuses, but it is difficult to surpass Yang Luo's level.
But Lin Jiang had no other choice. Geniuses of Yang Luo's level were not cultivated, but born. If you don't have it, it's useless to learn it until you die.
Fortunately, Lin Jiang didn't want to cultivate a genius who surpassed Yang Luo in all aspects. He just needed someone who could kill Yang Luo.
After arranging things, Lin Jiang asked everyone to leave, and then he looked around. This piece of land was snatched by Lin Jiang, and the forces around were quite complicated. Although it was not a threat to Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang would not stay here all the time. If he had to go out, Lin Jiang didn't want his home to be stolen.
These disciples have not grown up yet. Lin Jiang mainly relies on formations and some puppets to barely protect these people.
······
Minshan is an ordinary spiritual mountain in Bingzhou, occupied by a small sect. This small sect is very weak, and the sect master is only in the Jindan stage.
There is a market at the foot of Minshan Mountain. Lin Jiang came to a shop in the market and threatened to sell something. He took out a piece of ore. The shop manager looked at it and couldn't make a decision. He asked the owner to come, but the owner couldn't make a decision either. He could only report it again.
Not long after, a female Jindan appeared in front of Lin Jiang and said to Lin Jiang, "Senior, our company is weak and we really can't afford your ore."
"It doesn't matter, I can sell it cheaper, you name a price" "
10% off?"
"Okay"
"Ah"
the female Jindan was stunned. She was just joking. Shouldn't she refuse? She agreed to a 10% discount?
"Give me money and I'll leave."
"No, senior, your ore, it's not fake, right?"
"You can check the goods."
"I..."
The female Jindan was still very hesitant. She was just a Jindan. Her identification ability was not very strong. A 10% discount, if it wasn't fake, then what would it be? She wanted to drive him away, but it seemed that she couldn't win.
"You can't even afford a 10% discount?"
"No, senior, we are a small family and can't afford to lose money. If you are short of money, we can give you some money to spend."
"Give me money, 10% discount. If you don't pay, I will demolish your store."
"Senior..."
"Give me money."
Lin Jiang was angry. You are so damn poor. I took out ore worth at least tens of millions and sold it to you at a 10% discount. Are you still nagging?
The female Jindan was enveloped by Lin Jiang's aura, so how could she refuse? She could only endure the humiliation and take out all the spirit stones, but there were only a few hundred thousand spirit stones, which was less than 10% of the price.
Lin Jiang didn't care, and took the spirit stones directly, and then left a message, saying "Prepare more money, I will come back next month"
and left directly without taking the ore, leaving the female Jindan in a daze until the shopkeeper came to wake up.
"You stay at home, I'll go out for a while"
The female Jindan put away the ore and left directly.
Two days later, the female Jindan met Lin Ying in another place in Bingzhou, and said, "Dongmin, meet the tenth ancestor"
"What's the matter that makes you so anxious to see me?"
Lin Ying said. The female Jindan was called Lin Dongmin. Minshan where she was was also an area where the Lin family settled their children. Back then, Lin Batian managed Beizhou, but he also had people hiding in other states.
Afterwards, Xiaotian City in Beizhou was besieged by Qingzhou, and the Lin family suffered heavy casualties. Lin Batian returned to Yunzhou, and most of the Lin family members in various states were brought to Yunzhou, but a small number of people were left to continue to develop. Most of
these people became spies of the Lin family in various places, and also became the reserve troops of the Yunzhou Lin family. Their strength was very weak, and Lin Batian ordered them to hide and not to contact Yunzhou until the critical moment.
"Tenth Grandfather, this is what happened. Two days ago, a strange man came to the market in Minshan. He should have reached the Nascent Soul stage. He came to sell ore and took a piece of Red Blood Dragon Crystal. This ore is extremely precious and worth at least tens of millions of spiritual stones. We can't afford it in the market, but he insisted on selling it. I offered a 10% discount, hoping that he would give up, but he really agreed." "
10% discount for the Red Blood Dragon Crystal?" "
In fact, it's less than 10% discount. I only gave more than 500,000 spiritual stones. This is all the money in the account. He also said that he would come back in a month."
"Where's the ore?"
"Here, Tenth Grandfather."
Lin Dongmin took out the ore. Lin Ying carefully checked it and confirmed that the ore was real and had not been tampered with.
"The ore is real"
"Ah, Tenth Grandfather, then we..."
"I'll handle this matter. You just pretend you don't know,"
Lin Ying said. She also felt it was very strange. Who would do this? The other party obviously knew the price of the ore. She had to go and see if it was an enemy or a friend.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. When Lin Jiang stepped into the market of Minshan again, he saw that the person in the shop had become Lin Ying.
"Hello, senior."
"You sold the Red Blood Dragon Crystal last time."
"Yes."
"What's your purpose? Who are you?"
Lin Ying said. She didn't know Lin Jiang.
"Buying and selling, there is no purpose."
"You said there is no purpose for a price less than half off?"
"If you think the price is too low, you can give me the money."
"How do I know if you are a friend or an enemy?"
"Will the enemy take the initiative to give you money? Look."
Lin Jiang took out some more things from his storage bag, a Red Blood Dragon Crystal that was bigger than before, other extremely rare minerals, and several spiritual medicines with a medicinal age of more than a thousand years.
"What do you mean?"
"Selling money, give whatever you want,"
Lin Jiang said. This time, even Lin Ying was dumbfounded. She wanted to open Lin Jiang's brain to see what was in Lin Jiang's mind.
