There are some cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who really don't care about their lives when cultivating. They may spend eleven hours cultivating out of the twelve hours a day.
Eating?
Not possible. You can learn about the Bigu Pill. If you chew one, you can go without eating for several months.
Sleeping?
Sorry, you can go without sleeping for several months during the foundation building period. At the extreme point, you can go without sleeping for half a year.
Entertainment?
Isn't cultivation entertainment? When you are tired of meditating, you can practice magic and secret arts to take a break.
This kind of person is called the King of Scrolls on Blue Star, and the Ascetic Monk in the world of immortal cultivation.
Lin Jiang wanted to become an Ascetic Monk, but after trying for a few days, he finally gave up. This kind of life is too boring, too bitter, and has great consequences.
Few immortal cultivators don't use elixirs. Even the best elixirs have some elixir poison. If you continue to take elixirs, the elixir poison will accumulate, which will have a great impact on the future. Each elixir must be taken two days apart.
Therefore, Lin Jiang's cultivation only meant giving up the time for farming, the time for playing with sand sculptures, and the time for drawing talismans. The daily cultivation time was increased to five hours, which was rounded up to 996 years old.
·······
In the blink of an eye, Lin Jiang was already 175 years old. After several years of hard cultivation, Lin Jiang decided to go to Yunzhong City to reward himself.
After installing the sand sculptures, Lin Jiang came to Yingchun Pavilion again. He was also a nostalgic person. He came to Yingchun Pavilion eight out of ten times, and each time he would find different fairies to talk and discuss the true meaning of life with them.
"Fellow Daoist Lin?"
As soon as he stepped into the gate of Yingchun Tower, someone called out from behind. Lin Jiang turned around and saw a young man following him with a smile.
"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Xie,"
Lin Jiang greeted with a smile. The casual cultivators in Yunzhong Mountains were updated very quickly. After a few years, Sun Man and others were already a thing of the past, and there were new foundation-building casual cultivators to replace them.
The Xie Youjia in front of him is Lin Jiang's new neighbor. They live less than 30 miles apart. Xie Youjia is also a formation master. He once came to sell his formation to Lin Jiang, but Lin Jiang didn't want it. He already has a second-level formation. They have dealt with each other several times since then, but they are not very familiar with each other.
"I thought Fellow Daoist Lin was an ascetic monk. I didn't expect to meet Fellow Daoist Lin here.
" "Fellow Daoist Xie also looks very righteous."
"Haha, it's the same for you. How about exchanging some ideas?"
"I don't have this habit."
"Haha, me neither. Then let's meet in the small private room later and chat. I just happen to have something to talk to Fellow Daoist Lin about."
"Okay, but with Lin's ability, it will take at least an hour. Can Fellow Daoist wait?"
"Xie is not talented. I can't finish it in two hours. In the middle, the other party will have to change people. The talent of my Xie family is, um, more powerful."
"Haha..."
The two smiled obscenely and separated, pretending not to know each other for the time being.
An hour later, the two of them got dressed and came to the small private room of Yingchun Tower. Many people came to Yingchun Tower in groups. After finishing their business, they would gather together to chat. The social function of Yingchun Tower is also very important. They not only provide quiet rooms, but also provide tea, fruits and the like.
"What do you want to see Lin for, fellow Daoist Xie? If you want to exchange experiences, then there is no need. I am proficient in all kinds of martial arts." "Fellow
Daoist Lin, I am also a serious person, okay?"
Xie Youjia smiled bitterly. Why is this fellow Daoist Lin so frivolous? He always drives the wheel of the car into his face. Isn't this the time of the sage? Is he really that fierce?
"Lin is also a serious person, tell me, what's the matter?"
"Do you want to settle down somewhere else, fellow Daoist Lin?"
"Fellow Daoist Xie, you don't want to set up a sect for fun, do you?"
Lin Jiang asked. It is needless to say that it is difficult for independent cultivators, so after reaching the foundation-building stage, independent cultivators begin to seek new ways out, either like Lin Batian, taking in wives and concubines, and forming a family, or like the Five Immortal Sect, forming a sect.
Generally speaking, there will be more families, after all, they are their own bloodline, and they are naturally closer. It is more difficult to set up a sect, mainly because it is difficult to find reliable people.
"No, Xie is not too old and still has some strength for the Golden Elixir. I mean to settle down in a better place."
"Why don't you explain it more clearly?"
"Does Fellow Daoist Lin know Anhua City?
" "Yes, it's a big city in the southwest of Yunzhou, and it's ranked among the best in the whole Yunzhou." "
That's right. Anhua City has changed its owner in the past two years. A war broke out when the owner changed, causing a lot of losses in Anhua City, and many independent cultivators fled. The current owner of Anhua City has come to Yunzhong City recently to develop the city, and has lured many independent cultivators there. If they are people who have made achievements in elixirs, talismans, weapons and formations, they can give them great discounts. So they found me, an early second-stage formation master. If I go to Anhua City, I can be allocated a house, and if I set up a business, I can be exempted from tax for three years, and the tax can be halved for ten years."
"It seems that Anhua City is run by a master. Who is the master of Anhua City now?"
Lin Jiang's heart moved. He remembered hearing someone say a few years ago that it seemed that it was the Lin family that was planning Anhua City. Could it be Lin Batian's doing?
"The lord of Anhua City is a family of immortal cultivators, the Lin family, whose head is called Lin Batian. Speaking of which, Lin Batian is also a legendary figure among our casual cultivators. About two hundred years ago, Lin Batian was still an unknown casual cultivator who had built a foundation. He settled in the southwest of Yunzhou. After that, he continued to expand and his cultivation continued to grow. From the foundation-building stage to the Nascent Soul stage, it was simply smooth sailing.
And the Lin family, from Lin Batian alone, to now with 800 family members and dozens of vassal forces, has become the overlord of the southwest of Yunzhou, the only overlord,"
said Xie Youjia. Every successful casual cultivator is a legendary figure in the eyes of countless casual cultivators who are still struggling. The same is true for the previous Dan King Li Ruoxu. Li Ruoxu was able to overwhelm the two major sects in the art of alchemy. Countless casual cultivators are proud of him and regard him as a guiding light in their lives.
Now the story of Lin Batian has slowly spread to Yunzhong City, and countless casual cultivators envy him. He has many wives and concubines, many children, and is the master of a city. In the eyes of ordinary people, life is perfect.
"The Lin family is so powerful. I would like to get to know them. I would like to trouble you to show me the way."
Lin Jiang nodded. He wanted to see who from the Lin family came to Yunzhong City and whether there were any old friends.
"Okay, okay, the Lin family is in Yunzhong City. How about we go there early tomorrow morning?"
Xie Youjia nodded. He didn't say one more thing, that is, if he recommends a talent that the Lin family likes, there will be a reward. Not only will he get spirit stones, but he will also be able to increase the tax reduction period for opening a business. He has been running around for several days for this.
"Then see you tomorrow."
"Ah, Brother Lin, are you going back to fight again?"
"The beauty is lonely and can't sleep alone. How dare I let her be
like this? Goodbye." "Haha, it's as if I don't recognize you. Let's go."
Xie Youjia laughed and said goodbye in a hurry. You are so powerful, and Xie Youjia is not willing to be left behind.
······
Yunzhong City, West City
Lin Die brought more than ten Lin clansmen and directly booked a small inn. Early in the morning, Lin Die and the clansmen discussed with the list.
"I came to Yunzhong City to recruit talents. The more talents, the better. But they must be talented. Dan Fu Qi Zhen Xiu Xian Four Arts, Ling Zhi Fu, puppetry, and construction are all fine. If you don't have any special skills, we welcome you in Anhua City, but we can't give you any benefits. We must strictly select..."
Lin Die once again emphasized that the process of Lin's entry into Anhua City was not smooth. The original family in Anhua City had a Yuanying ancestor sitting in. The Yuanying ancestor had been rumored to have a short life span decades ago, but he just didn't sit in meditation.
A few years ago, news of his sitting in meditation finally came, but it turned out that he was faking his death. He wanted to use this to ambush Lin Batian. Fortunately, Lin Batian's cultivation was unparalleled, and he killed him in the face of adversity when he was attacked.
But after the battle, Anhua City was also destroyed for the most part, and many immortal cultivators in the city ran away. Later, Lin cleaned up the immortal cultivators of the original owner's faction, resulting in the number of immortal cultivators in Anhua City being less than one-fifth of the previous number.
A city needs people to prosper, and the Lin family can use this as a source of income. However, it is easy to attract ordinary casual cultivators, but it is not necessarily the case for talented people.
Therefore, in order to develop Anhua City as soon as possible, the top management of the Lin family specially sent Lin Die to Yunzhong City to absorb talents.
What is talent? For cultivators, isn't it just Dan Fu Qizhen? These talents are very important to the city. When they come, there will be more products on the market, which will attract more people to live and consume. Only with consumption can tax revenue be brought in.
"Third aunt, we know that we will never let a talent go, and we will never let a mediocre person fish in troubled waters."
"It's good to know. Today is the same as yesterday. Changrong, Changsheng and I will guard the inn and assess those people. Chaoyun, Chaoxia, you lead the team to the three major markets in Yunzhong City for publicity. Remember not to cause trouble. Although Yunjian Sect and Zhongxing Sect have already said hello, they are also quite unhappy with our poaching."
Lin Die nodded. This time, the Lin family sent out capable personnel with mature and stable personalities. I hope nothing will go wrong.
Lin Changrong, Lin Changsheng, Lin Chaoyun, and Lin Chaoxia all agreed. Then Lin Chaoyun and Lin Chaoxia led the team out of the inn and went to the big market, where independent cultivators gathered, to promote.
After a while, independent cultivators who had passed the Lin family's assessment came with the people they recommended. Lin promised to give them benefits, and everyone was very active.
Lin Die personally assessed them. Whatever skills they reported, they just had to perform them on the spot. It was clear at a glance whether they had real skills. There were many people coming to the
"Lao Liu"
inn. Lin Die was busy for a while. When she looked up, she saw a familiar back and exclaimed immediately. Everyone's eyes followed what Lin Die said and looked at a corner of the inn.
