In the middle of the Yunzhong Mountains

, Lin Jiang was casting a spell to water the spiritual medicine garden. Lin Jiang's spiritual plant husbandry skills were pretty good. He had studied under a master in the past. He was more than capable of taking care of and nurturing a mature spiritual medicine garden. Perhaps it would be difficult for him to build one from scratch.

"Chiji..."

Before the work was done, the big and small sand sculptures sent a warning sound to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang hurriedly stopped work and put the big and small sand sculptures into the spiritual beast bag.

Lin Jiang's storage bag has become much more abundant in recent years, and he has invested a lot more in the big and small sand sculptures. They each ate a complete third-level demon pill, but they have not yet broken through.

Lin Jiang checked the information. For the big and small sand sculptures, breaking through the third level is a transformation of life for them. The investment required is not ordinary. They may need to eat more than ten demon pills, which is beyond Lin Jiang's tolerance. So Lin Jiang decided to extend the time, little by little, and spend a hundred years to cultivate them to the third level.

When he was not out, Lin Jiang would usually let the sand sculptures out. Now his cave was nearly a thousand acres in size, which was enough for them to play. Otherwise, if they were locked up for too long, they would get mad.

"Daoyou, stop."

Lin Jiang stood in the outer formation and saw two foundation-building cultivators looking at his cave, so he spoke up immediately.

The middle section of the Yunzhong Mountains was so cruel. If there was no movement for a long time, it would be easy for other cultivators to think that the owner was dead. If he was out for a long time, the cave would be easily looted or occupied.

"Master, there are people,"

the young foundation-building cultivator said to the old foundation-building cultivator.

"Let's see,"

the old foundation-building cultivator responded, then he bowed to Lin Jiang and said, "Daoyou, I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me."

"Ignorance is not a crime, Daoyou can leave now."

"Daoyou, my master and I came from other places and have no place to stay. I wonder if Daoyou can take us in. We will definitely be grateful and remember Daoyou's great kindness."

"Go south, Yunzhong City is not far away, there are many inns there."

"Daoyou, my master and I are from a small place, we don't have much..."

"No spiritual stones, but we have flying swords and storage bags, sell them."

Lin Jiang's tone became even colder. He was sure that these two people had bad intentions and wanted to confirm whether he was a fool.

There are very few fools in the Yunzhong Mountains who would take in strangers. Hospitality is not allowed in immortal cultivators. Whoever dares to have such thoughts will not live long.

"Fellow Daoist, all beings are ruthless. All the scattered cultivators in the world are one family. Can you bear to see us, an old man and a young man, suffer from the wind and sun?"

"Yes, I can bear it. Are you done? You can get out of here now."

"How dare you speak to my master like that? Come out, let's fight to the death."

The young foundation-building cultivator heard Lin Jiang being so impolite, and immediately started to curse, making a gesture to duel with Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang looked at him as if he was a fool. This provocation was a bit low-end. Lin Jiang was alone, and you two left the formation to report for protection and go out to fight you alone. What else could you be but a fool?

"Fellow Daoist, don't blame me. My disciple has been spoiled by me and doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is..." "

Don't waste your breath. There are no fools among the cultivators who have lived in the middle section of the Yunzhong Mountains for more than three years. If you have set your eyes on my house, come and fight if you have the guts."

Lin Jiang was a little impatient. He didn't know what these two guys were thinking. Can such a low-level double act really fool people? Are there really so many fools in this world?

"Excuse me, fellow Daoist, we'll see you later."

The old foundation-building cultivator finally stopped pretending, smiled at Lin Jiang, and then turned and left.

"Master, why don't you do it? That man is only in the early stage of foundation-building. I can kill him alone."

"You can't break the third-order eight-door golden armor formation even if you fight for a month. He's a tough guy."

"But they said that in this area, this man surnamed Lin is the richest. His cave was previously owned by an alchemist and has many spiritual medicines."

The young foundation-building cultivator said that they had not just come to the Yunzhong Mountains, but had been here for several days. They had been looking for a suitable cave these days.

However, the spiritual veins of most caves were of low quality and were not in their eyes at all. Later, they learned through special means that there was a cave nearby with a high spiritual vein level, and the previous owner left behind a lot of spiritual medicines, which were of extraordinary value, so they came to try it.

"Silly boy, those people are using us as guns. He is just in the early stage of foundation building, without any ability, how can he defend this cave?"

The old foundation building replied. He would not look down on any of the foundation building people in the world. If the foundation building people in the mountains did not take action when they knew there was something good, it only meant that this person could defend it.

"Okay, Master always makes sense, so where should we go now?"

"We're here,"

the old foundation-building master said as he looked at the white mist in front of him. The white mist was caused by the formation, which meant that there were people living here.

"Master, are you still acting?"

"No, I'm tired, let's get started."

"Okay,"

the young foundation-building master was overjoyed when he heard it, and without saying anything, he cast a spell to attack.

"How dare you, who is attacking my cave?"

Soon, a loud shout came from the white mist, but when he saw that there were two foundation-building masters outside the door, he immediately shut up.

"Break it for me,"

the old foundation-building master became even more ferocious, and without further ado, he began to attack.

······

"Fellow Daoist Lin, be careful. If you are attacked, send me a sound transmission note immediately and I will come to help immediately."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I asked someone to bring the information you want. Please take a good look."

"I have heard about the people who came this time. They are..."

Half a month later, Lin Jiang took down the sound transmission notes hovering on the outer layer of the cave one by one and read the messages. These sound transmission notes were sent to him by those foundation-building cultivators in the middle section of the Yunzhong Mountains. There were even many people he didn't know and it was the first time he had dealt with them.

The reason why these people were so enthusiastic was not because Lin Jiang was too cute and very popular, but because there were ruthless people in the Yunzhong Mountains, that is, the master and disciple cultivators who met half a month ago.

This master and disciple cultivator pair was extremely fierce. In less than a month since they came to the Yunzhong Mountains, they had hunted down five foundation-building cultivators and looted all the wealth in the cave. Now they live not far from Lin Jiang. A few months ago, it was Xie Youjia's cave. After Xie Youjia was killed by Lin Jiang, it was occupied by others, and then by the master and disciple.

According to the information provided by other casual cultivators, the old foundation-building cultivator is called Shao Xiong, and the young one is called Shao Jie. Shao Jie is an orphan adopted by Shao Xiong, and he is both his disciple and son.

Shao Xiong was originally from the north of the Yunzhong Mountains, and he fought with monsters all year round. It is said that he is also a well-known ruthless person in the north, and countless casual cultivators died at his hands.

Shao Jie is not much behind. He has been following Shao Xiong in the wilderness since the early stage of Qi training, and has been bloody and killing all the way. His combat power is extremely strong.

This time, the Shao family master and apprentice came to the south of the Yunzhong Mountains for the centennial celebration of Yunzhong City thirty years later. The centennial celebration of Yunzhong City will definitely have the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill appear, and he is preparing for the formation of the pill.

The Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill can be sold at a sky-high price every time. According to the auction prices of the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill many times, the average price is around one million spirit stones. Occasionally, when it is abnormal, it is not impossible to soar to one million and a half. In addition, the auctioneer often makes some additional requirements, such as replacing some genius treasures, etc., not all spirit stones are required.

This price has already dissuaded 90% of the foundation-building casual cultivators. Only the particularly powerful ones have the financial resources to compete with those sects and families.

The last time Yunzhong City celebrated its centennial celebration, Lin Jiang was still very weak and had been hiding in Yunzhong City, but he still heard about the chaos here. After almost every celebration, the foundation-building casual cultivators in the Yunzhong Mountains changed. This is why the casual cultivators in the Yunzhong Mountains are mainly in the early and middle stages. They were all killed and became the resources for others to advance.

"There will be more and more fierce and ruthless people here in the future. It's really dangerous, but I can't bear to leave this cave. Hey."

Lin Jiang was very entangled. The Shao family master and apprentice just came. Now there are still 30 years before the centennial celebration. As time goes by, more and more ruthless people will come, and Lin Jiang will definitely be targeted.

But the problem is that Lin Jiang can't bear to leave this cave. Let alone other things, after he took over, he has invested tens of thousands of spirit stones in the twelve fourth-level spiritual medicines. If he abandons it, it will be a big loss.

"I want money but not my life. At most, I will explode his life span by several thousand years."

Lin Jiang thought for a long time and finally decided not to run away. He would fight with them. He had signed for more than 160 years. After deducting the life span consumed by the explosion technique, he still had about 50,000 years. It was not a waste at all.

After Lin Jiang made up his mind, he took out the sound transmission talisman to reply to the casual cultivators. These people hoped that Lin Jiang would keep an eye on the Shao family master and apprentice and notify them if there was any movement. As for what they said they would help fight, Lin Jiang did not believe it and did not expect it.

Lin Jiang just wanted to exchange what he had with them and keep an eye on the Shao family master and apprentice. Now he was forced to stay at home and dared not go out. If he waited until the Shao family master and apprentice left, he could also go to Yunzhong City to replenish some supplies.

After sending the sound transmission talisman, Lin Jiang checked the formation again and reserved some spiritual stones for the formation. The spiritual energy of this cave was not enough to support the formation to operate at full capacity, unless all the spiritual medicines were abandoned and all the spiritual energy flowing into the spiritual medicine garden was extracted. But in that case, the spiritual medicines would be completely destroyed and spiritual stones must be used as energy.

After dealing with everything, Lin Jiang started to draw talismans again. The talisman is one of the best ways to improve strength in the short term, and it is absolutely indispensable when a real fight breaks out.
