Lin Jiang once again lived a secluded life and stopped setting up stalls at the big market. His travel frequency was reduced again, and he would go out once every three to five days to sell talismans at the business and buy some cultivation resources and daily necessities.

The business was introduced by Zhang Ruifang, a small business called Yunlai Pavilion, which has been operating in Yunzhong City for five generations and has always had a good reputation.

Lin Jiang's talismans are of good quality. Yunlai Pavilion gave old customers the same price as the big business, which is about 10% less than the big market stalls. Yunlai Pavilion is completely a small profit but quick turnover, and Lin Jiang can accept this price. After several cooperations, both parties are very happy.

Lin Jiang specially collected a map of Yunzhou and gave it to Zhang Ruifang. Zhang Ruifang studied it for many days and finally decided to go to a place called Ruiyang Mountain to live in seclusion.

Ruiyang Mountain is located next to the Five Elements Sect, one of the three major sects in Yunzhou. It has an excellent location and was once a high-level spiritual mountain. Later, for some reason, the spiritual veins were broken and it was abandoned by the Five Elements Sect. It became a paradise for casual cultivators, a bit like the middle section of the Yunzhong Mountains.

About a hundred years ago, three Jindan casual cultivators emerged from Ruiyang Mountain. These three people set up a camp in Ruiyang Mountain, recruited casual cultivators, and established an organization similar to the casual cultivator alliance. They were also protected by the Five Elements Sect. In recent years, casual cultivators have continued to go to Ruiyang Mountain to make a living.

Zhang Ruifang, with her foundation-building cultivation, should be able to get some care if she goes to Ruiyang Mountain. At least her status will not be very bad. Ruiyang Mountain is not as chaotic as the Yunzhong Mountains, so it is more suitable for her to settle down.

Zhang Ruifang made a decision, and Lin Jiang also fulfilled her wish. He found time to repair the wall between the two houses and sublet Zhang Ruifang's house.

"This is Cao Yang's grave. When I came, only his bones were left."

Before leaving, Lin Jiang took Zhang Ruifang and her daughter to pay homage to Cao Yang. It was not difficult for him to find Cao Yang's bones. He only spent a few spirit stones, and then cut down a huge tree as a coffin to collect Cao Yang's bones.

But Lin Jiang has not yet told Zhang Ruifang how Cao Yang died. Cao Yang's death was very heroic, and it could be considered suicide. The people in Yunzhong City admired him very much for being able to do such a feat, and Cao Yang's story is still circulating.

"Yingzi, kneel down and kowtow to your father."

"Mom, is Dad sleeping in there?"

"Shut up, kowtow if I ask you to."

Zhang Ruifang seemed more irritable than usual. Cao Ying pouted and kowtowed reluctantly. Cao Ying, who was less than four years old, obviously did not know the meaning of life and death.

"Let's go, it's almost time."

Lin Jiang looked around. It was gloomy. There was no telling how many corpses were buried in this mass grave, which made the yin energy here very heavy. It was said that there were occasional zombies. Of course, even if there were real zombies, they would not cause any harm. The Jindan or Yuanying of Yunzhong City could cut the zombies into eighteen pieces with one sword, without missing a single piece.

Zhang Ruifang picked up Cao Ying, and the two flew with swords. After flying hundreds of miles, Lin Jiang summoned the Aurora Falcons, one for each of them, and flew to Ruiyang Mountain on the Aurora Falcons.

"Big bird, fly, fly."

"So high."

"So fun."

Cao Ying finally sat on the Aurora Falcon, and he was not pacing in the yard, but really flying in the sky.

The Aurora Falcons also acted very happy. They were eagles in the sky, destined to soar in the sky, not locked in the yard and taking steps without recognizing their relatives.

After so many years, they finally flew.

"Stop making so

much noise." Zhang Ruifang was already in a bad mood, and Cao Ying's chattering made her so angry that she cursed. In the end, she released her protective Qi, which made Cao Ying swallow a mouthful of wind. Lin Jiang couldn't stand it anymore, fearing that Zhang Ruifang would throw her away in anger, so he quickly brought Cao Ying to his side.

Ruiyang Mountain is more than 10,000 miles away from Yunzhong City, located on the northwest side of Yunzhong. Even the Aurora Falcon took a day to get there, but the Aurora Falcon flew very high, so it didn't encounter any trouble on the way.

When they arrived at Ruiyang Mountain, the two landed, Lin Jiang put away the Aurora Falcon, and found an inn to stay in at the market at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Jiang went out to inquire about the situation, and came back to say to Zhang Ruifang, "We are late. Ruiyang Mountain stopped directly accepting people more than ten years ago. To join Ruiyang Mountain now, you have to live nearby first and accept the tasks issued by Ruiyang Mountain. You can join after reaching a certain level of merit points."

"I've seen the tasks they issue, they are all ordinary things, such as finding elixirs, minerals, and trading some resources with them, including hunting down some traitors, evil ways, etc. Don't choose the difficult ones. Spend three to five years and you will definitely be able to do it."

Ruiyang Mountain set up a camp to recruit people, and independent cultivators flocked to it. In fact, it only took a few years to recruit enough people. There was no room for those who came later, so Ruiyang Mountain set many conditions to screen out most people. However, Zhang Ruifang should have no problem, after all, he was in the foundation-building stage.

"I also inquired about it. The prices in Ruiyang Mountain are much lower than those in Yunzhong City. I still have a little money on me, which is enough to deal with it."

"That's good. What are your plans next?"

"Hunting monsters. I don't know how to do anything else. I don't want to kill people anymore."

Zhang Ruifang said. She has been in the dark night for many years. What she learned is how to kill people. She doesn't know how to do business or farm. Now she has no intention of killing people, so she can only hunt monsters.

"How can you hunt monsters with a child?"

"Leave it at home, set up a formation, and don't let her run around."

"Although Ruiyang Mountain has complete rules, it is not safe."

"What good way can I do?"

"Forget it, I'll stay for a while and help you stabilize your life first."

Lin Jiang sighed. He was still too kind. He wanted to leave, but when he saw Zhang Ruifang was an orphan and a widow, he couldn't bear to leave directly.

In the following days, Lin Jiang and Zhang Ruifang went to rent a house together. The rent here is not the same as Yunzhong City. They rented a house of hundreds of square meters for only 800 spirit stones a year.

Zhang Ruifang bought a defensive formation to protect the house, while Lin Jiang was busy running around to help buy some daily necessities.

He also accompanied Zhang Ruifang to look at the task list of Ruiyang Mountain to see if there were any suitable tasks to do, and also inquired about the situation of the monsters around.

Ruiyang Mountain is also mainly surrounded by primitive forests, but the number of monsters is very small, and they have long been slaughtered by the immortal cultivators. There are only a few monsters hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. The place with more monsters must be the wilderness, and the wilderness is thousands of miles away from Ruiyang Mountain. At the speed of the ordinary foundation-building period, it takes almost a day to go back and forth.

After a toss, another half a month has passed. Seeing that Zhang Ruifang has adapted to life here, Lin Jiang also wants to say goodbye.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you think of this place?"

Zhang Ruifang suddenly said to Lin Jiang one day.

She could see that Lin Jiang wanted to leave, but she suddenly felt reluctant. She was not a strong person in life, and even had a cowardly personality. She was very introverted in the big market back then.

Although she was strong when she was a killer, she was forced to do nothing. After living in Yunzhong City for many years, her sharp temperament was wiped out. She was used to having something to rely on in life.

And she could see that Cao Ying liked Lin Jiang very much. Lin Jiang was very gentle to Cao Ying, just like Cao Yang. This was also the reason why Cao Ying lost her father but was not sad. Another man replaced her father's role.

"Life here is pretty good, but it's not suitable for me."

Lin Jiang shook his head. He knew what Zhang Ruifang meant. He just didn't fit in here.

Ruiyang Mountain was too small. If he stayed here for more than 30 years, his secret would be exposed. He would have to leave at that time. Only a big city like Yunzhong City, with a huge population mobility, could cover up his secret.

"Ruiyang Mountain is indeed too small, not suitable for Lin Daoyou to fly high."

Zhang Ruifang was a little disappointed, but she didn't force him to stay. If his heart was not here, it would be useless to stay.

"Well, I will come to see you later,"

Lin Jiang said. Be decisive. When Lin Yang's identity is also abandoned, then cut off everything.

Zhang Ruifang said nothing more and ate silently with her head down. Cao Ying didn't understand anything and pestered Lin Jiang to play with the big and small sand sculptures. Lin Jiang refused and took out snacks to coax her.

The next morning, Lin Jiang didn't run with Zhang Ruifang again, but was thinking about how to leave.

"If you leave without saying goodbye, you should tell her. What if Cao Ying cries? I can't stand seeing girls cry, let alone cute little girls."

Lin Jiang was very entangled. It seemed not good to leave without saying goodbye, but if he said goodbye seriously, it would seem hypocritical. He was afraid that his heart was not hard enough and he would stay when he got excited.

"Forget it, buy some snacks and fruits for Cao Ying first."

Lin Jiang thought about it and didn't know what to do. Finally, he decided to buy something to coax Cao Ying. He really liked cute children and they were fun. After

buying a lot of things, Lin Jiang walked back to Zhang Ruifang's rented house, but at the door, Lin Jiang suddenly realized that something was wrong. Someone was following him.

At this moment, Lin Jiang was really dumbfounded. How long have they been here? Who would be watching them? Is it the Dark Night Organization or the local forces in Ruiyang Mountain?

Lin Jiang suppressed his anger, quickly opened the door, and walked into the house. Cao Ying came up to him and pestered Lin Jiang to play with the big and small sand sculptures.

"Xiaoying, the big bird can't fly here, let's go outside to play."

Lin Jiang gritted his teeth and agreed. No matter who was watching, he decided to kill those people today. He wanted to see which friend was so blind.
