In the middle of the Yunzhong Mountains, in a cave of the foundation-building period, the Lin family and several fellow Taoists were discussing the Dao.
It is absolutely true that humans are social animals. Although Lin Jiang is a coward, he also needs some social interaction. So when other foundation-building period cultivators in the middle of the Yunzhong Mountains took the initiative to make friends, he did not refuse, and slowly became familiar with several immortal cultivators.
This kind of exchange meeting is held regularly, once every two months, at the home of a foundation-building period cultivator named Sun Man. Sun Man is a second-level alchemist who can refine Zhenyuan Pills. He does not want to sell his pills to the business, and is exploited by the business. So he made many friends, and basically his friends can consume his pills.
Lin Jiang also bought a few times, but found that the quality of his pills was a little worse than that of the business in Yunzhong City, so he stopped buying, and lied that he had an agreement with other alchemists. Every time he came, he basically discussed matters related to cultivation and learned about the news from the outside world.
"That's enough for today's discussion, let's chat and share
what we have." "Everyone, tell me what's new this time."
"Let me tell you one first. The fishing gang along the Yuntuo River knows about it, right?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"A few decades ago, I forgot how many years, the Julang Fishing Gang annexed the territory of the Sancha Fishing Gang. Then since last year, a remarkable descendant of the Sancha Fishing Gang has appeared. He has been attacking people from the Julang Fishing Gang everywhere. Dozens of people from the Julang Fishing Gang have died in the Qi training stage, and three of them have died in the foundation building stage."
"People are still able to show up after such a long time. The Sancha Fishing Gang must have done them a great favor."
"Who knows? The people of the Sancha Fishing Gang are conducting a frantic investigation. They said that they can get 50,000 spirit stones for providing information."
"50,000, that's not a low price."
When the price was mentioned, some people were tempted. The people in the Qi training stage were poor, but the people in the foundation building stage were also suffering. The income of the foundation building stage was generally much higher than that of the Qi training stage, but the expenses of the foundation building stage were also high. Various elixirs and equipment cost thousands or tens of thousands of spirit stones at every turn.
Lin Jiang thought of Liu Dong, Liu Jie's son. He had an extreme hatred for the Julang Fishing Gang. His whole family died at the hands of the Julang Fishing Gang. Before Lin Jiang left, he gave him the Huangtu Ba Zhen Jue technique.
It has been more than 30 years. Normally, Liu Dong would not have achieved anything in more than 30 years, but considering the role of Huangtu Ba Zhen Jue, he might have reached the Jindan stage.
"Fellow Taoists, you should be careful about what you say and do. The affairs of the fishing gang are quite complicated and the water is deep. It is not something that casual cultivators like us can afford to provoke. Let's talk about something else,"
Sun Man said hurriedly. He actually didn't want these people to take risks. He had finally won over the clients he had made friends with. If this one died, where would he go to recruit people?
"I do have a new thing here, it's a little far from Yunzhong City"
"Oh, please tell me, fellow Daoist, it's just a casual chat anyway"
"I come from the southwest of Yunzhou. The southwest of Yunzhou is on the edge of wilderness, and the strength of immortal cultivation is weak. However, in recent years, a force has emerged. I heard from a friend that Anhua City in the southwest is about to fall into the hands of this force"
"Fellow Daoist, just speak in full. What's the point of hiding something? What force? Just tell us clearly. If it's really a giant, we should avoid it in the future" "
That's right, for us casual cultivators, if we want to live longer, we have to be sensible."
This person spoke half and kept the other half, which made people unhappy. Casual cultivators live cautiously, just like them. They never offend the disciples of Zhongxing Sect and Yunjian Sect. They don't offend even those in the Qi training stage. Who knows if beating the younger ones will attract the older ones.
"It's not really a giant. This force is called the Lin Family. The head of the Lin Family, Lin Batian, is an expert at using the Overlord Spear. A hundred years ago, he was still at the Golden Core stage, but he could fight two opponents at the same Golden Core stage alone and kill them. Now he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and the Nascent Soul of Anhua City is about to pass away. Many people are saying that the Lin Family will soon take over Anhua City."
"I know Anhua City. Although it's not as good as Yunzhong City, it's not bad in Yunzhou. But I've never heard of the Lin Family."
"I haven't heard of it either. It should be a small family in the wilderness."
"With a Golden Core stage guarding it, it's not a small family. It's not bad in Yunzhong City. Even outside the city, it can occupy a village."
Everyone was talking about it, and Lin Jiang's mind was completely aroused. He had been away from home for seventy or eighty years, and this was the first time he heard about the Lin Family. He didn't expect that his cheap father had actually advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Daoyou, can you tell me more in detail?"
"Daoyou Lin, why, do you want to join the Lin Family?"
"My surname is also Lin. Maybe we were a family five hundred years ago. We are all from the same family. If you really want to join us, it's not a bad idea."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin is right. Your surname is Lin. Maybe there is a good thing waiting for you."
"Oh, what is it?" "
This Lin Batian has many wives and concubines, and many children. He has a pair of daughters, known as the Lin Sisters. They are not only beautiful, but also have very high cultivation. They have already reached the Golden Core stage. I heard that Lin Batian is interested in recruiting a son-in-law. Your surname is also Lin. If you become a son-in-law, won't your children also have the surname Lin?"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, this is a great idea. I think you can give it a try."
"That's right. If you can hook up with a Yuanying family, you won't have to worry about resources for cultivation. Think about Wen Xing. He was nothing before, but now he hooks up with the Dan King Li Ruoxu, and he is also a young talent now."
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Lin is young and has a better future than us. We are old and people don't want us."
Several foundation-building cultivators turned the topic to Lin Jiang. Among them, Lin Jiang was the youngest. His current public age was 53 years old. He came to Yunzhong Mountain Range to settle down after successfully building his foundation three years ago.
"I have a good appetite and like to eat hard food. I can't eat soft food. It's a pity."
Lin Jiang said lightly. He was very happy now. He learned that Lin Batian had broken through the Nascent Soul, Lin Die and Lin Ying had broken through the Golden Core. This was the best news for him this year. It meant that they could live for a long time and they might not have no chance to meet in the future. However,
Lin Jiang didn't dare to go home now. His secret was too special. Immortality was something that all cultivators were striving for, but it was within his hands. No one could guarantee whether Lin Batian would attack him. Father and son killing each other was not a rare thing in the mortal world, and it was even more common in the world of cultivation. It was common for such things to happen for resources.
After chatting for a while, they entered the exchange environment. Sun Man took out the elixir, and the others also took out the things they didn't need to exchange for what they needed.
Lin Jiang took out the second-level spiritual talisman. After more than two years of hard study, Lin Jiang has successfully drawn the second-level low-grade spiritual talisman, but the success rate is not high, and it needs to be further improved.
What he needs now is more runes of the second-level spiritual talisman. Lin Jiang's talisman technique was inherited from her mother Zhuang Rong, and her mother inherited it from Lin Jiang's grandfather. Although Lin Jiang's grandfather's talisman technique is good, it is not at the top level. There are not many runes in his collection. Lin Jiang has already learned it and needs more runes to enrich his talisman drawing skills.
However, Lin Jiang didn't gain much this time. The runes in the hands of these people had long been exchanged by him. There is no full-time talisman painter among them, and they will not go out of their way to collect runes.
Lin Jiang doesn't care. He is still focusing on improving the talisman technique, not expanding the types of talismans. This is to prepare for the future, just take it slowly.
After the exchange of environments, Sun Man and his friends had many other things to do. Normally, they would eat and drink together, and occasionally they would go to Yingchun Tower in Yunzhong City to exchange martial arts. Lin Jiang didn't have this hobby, so he went home early.
The outer formation was opened, and what came into view was a hundred acres of spiritual medicine, and exotic flowers and plants were blooming. Further ahead, there were several acres of vegetables and fruits, with more than 20 varieties. The spiritual medicine and vegetables were isolated by different formations.
There were also several acres of spiritual peaches on the hillside, which were also blooming at this time. They were very beautiful. Next to the cave, there were some spiritual bamboos, but they were still very sparse and weak. They were just planted by Lin Jiang this year.
There were more wastelands in the distance, overgrown with weeds. Lin Jiang bought some spiritual grass seeds. These spiritual grasses can be used to make talisman paper, but Lin Jiang didn't plan to use them to make talisman paper, and he didn't know how to use them. These were poultry rations. Lin Jiang bought more than ten spiritual deer, as well as some rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc., all of which were demonized. Anyway, they were raised in the wild.
Only a dozen big trees were left in the cave, and the rest were all cut down. At this time, the big and small sand sculptures stood on a big tree, staring at the leisurely spiritual deer, almost drooling.
"Big sand sculpture, little sand sculpture, if you dare to steal the spiritual deer again, I will roast you tonight."
Lin Jiang had to warn them every time he came back, because they ate half of the spiritual deer in the first few days after buying it. As a punishment, Lin Jiang treated them as sheepdogs and let them graze.
"Jiji..."
The big and small sand sculptures talked back and looked at Lin Jiang coldly. They had been beaten before, so they really didn't dare to steal. Of course, it is also possible that they think the spiritual deer is too small now, so they will eat it after it is fattened up.
