In the Yunzhong Mountains,

five figures arrived at the peak almost at the same time. If they were seen by the casual cultivators in the mountains, they would recognize their identities. They were the Zheng Zhan and Zheng Qin brothers from the Black Water Pond, Chen Xuan from the Medicine Immortal Valley, Ma Ping from Songmao Mountain, and Fu Tao from Baiyugang.

But ordinary casual cultivators would never think that they would meet, because in the past thirty years, together with Yusong from Cangying Ridge, the five families had constant friction. Although there had not been a group fight, there had never been a lack of small-scale conflicts. On the surface, it seemed that they were quite hostile.

"Yusong is dead"

"I know, the bodies were hung up, and there were several confidants around him, Cangying Ridge was almost wiped out"

"No one would have thought that after so many years of our search, there is still such a big crocodile in Yunzhong Mountains"

"Do you know where the surname Lin came from?"

"I really haven't heard of him. I only know that he should have been building a foundation for more than 40 years. He is a talisman painter. He once killed Zhou Yunyang and his gang and hung the body on the tree trunk. That's why Yusong didn't touch him for many years."

Chen Xuan shook his head. They knew too little about Lin Jiang because he was too much of a homebody and rarely interacted with people.

"You guys tell me what to do"

"Do you still want to kill him? He has a third-level beast pet"

"If the four of us join forces, it may not be impossible" "

Haha"

Ma Ping's words made the other four people sneer continuously. If the four of them join forces and gather dozens of foundation builders, they can indeed kill the third-level beast pet, but the casualties will not be small. Who will die then?

"Who knows what kind of backers a person with a third-level beast pet has behind him. Since this person is a loner, just ignore him and pretend that we didn't see him."

"He doesn't take the initiative to provoke us, and we don't provoke him. The centennial celebration of Yunzhong City will be in a few months. Don't miss the big event."

Zheng Zhan said. He didn't want any accidents to happen. In the past 30 years, they have been constantly creating friction, and the wealthy independent cultivators under their respective hands have been killed by them.

When people die, wealth will be transferred, and most of the wealth will eventually go to them. They have almost saved enough spirit stones. He just wants to wait until the celebration and buy Dan-forming treasures to advance.

"I agree. To be honest, I will give him my Yaoxian Valley if he wants it. It's just right to get rid of those rubbish,"

Chen Xuan said. In order to enrich their personalities over the years, they have done a lot of things and recruited many subordinates. Now that the goal is to be achieved, these people will also be thrown away.

"I agree that the surname Lin should not provoke him, but what about the territory of Cang Yingling?"

"Let's divide it. There are still a few months, and Yusong's men can still squeeze out some money."

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Several people agreed. No one would dislike having too many spirit stones. They divided Yusong's men and thought of a way to squeeze them dry, so as to add some more resources for their cultivation.

········

"Don't do this next time. I'm a little scared."

Lin Jiang looked at the piles of spirit stones in front of him and was a little scared. He killed Yusong and his men, and from their storage bags, Lin Jiang took out nearly 700,000 spirit stones, which directly filled half of the room.

And this is not the most valuable. Yusong wants to buy the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill, and he needs to match it with precious treasures. There are five fourth-level spirit medicines, six third-level demon pills, and a bunch of precious minerals that Lin Jiang doesn't know, packed in brocade boxes, and some unknown pills, plus other items. Lin Jiang conservatively estimates that the total value exceeds 1.5 million spirit stones.

This amount of wealth is enough to knock out ordinary casual cultivators, even Lin Jiang is a little scared.

Of course, what Lin Jiang is afraid of is not too much money, but that it is too easy to make money. Lin Jiang has always believed in one sentence, that is, a person cannot make wealth beyond his cognition, even if he makes it, he will easily lose it.

Now Lin Jiang feels that this money is wealth beyond his cognition. This is not the money that an ordinary casual cultivator of foundation building should have. Lin Jiang is very afraid that he will be addicted to this feeling of making money quickly.

Once addicted to this, Lin Jiang will not be able to help but take the initiative to attack, plunder, kill people and seize treasures, and rely on violence to get everything.

This is a road of no return, because you cannot guarantee that every target you attack is weaker than you, just like Yu Song. In his opinion, Lin Jiang is just a mid-stage foundation building. He is a great perfection in the foundation building stage, plus a few late-stage foundation building helpers, he will not lose no matter how he thinks, but the result is that they are now hanging street lights.

Lin Jiang cannot guarantee whether the target he is targeting at that time is really weak or pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

"In a matter like plundering, you can succeed ninety-nine times, but if you lose once, you will lose everything. I have plenty of time to accumulate wealth. Remember, don't be greedy and don't do things that make money quickly."

Lin Jiang repeatedly reminded himself that he was different from others. Others didn't have time to accumulate wealth, but he did. When the time came, he would have everything he deserved.

After silently putting away all the items, Lin Jiang called the big and small sand sculptures. This time they had made great contributions, so naturally they should be rewarded. Yusong's demon pill would be left to them.

"Brother, brother..."

The big sand sculpture swallowed a demon pill and greeted Lin Jiang warmly. Lin Jiang held his forehead and said, forget it. He would not be angry with the sand sculpture. He was just a brother. An elder brother is like a father. They all meant the same thing.

"Jiji..."

The little sand sculpture swallowed the demon pill, rolled its eyes at Lin Jiang, and then walked away with a step that didn't recognize any relatives. Its eyes were deep, as if it was thinking about some philosophical questions.

"Fuck, little sand sculpture, what do you mean, you eat my food and drink my drinks, but you don't even want to call me daddy"

Lin Jiang was furious when he saw this. The big and small sand sculptures should have mastered thirty or forty words, but the little sand sculpture was unwilling to speak, as if he had never spoken before.

"Big sand sculpture, your brother is not a mute, is he?"

Lin Jiang said to the big sand sculpture. He must be a mute, otherwise why would he not want to call him daddy.

"Brother..."

The big sand sculpture was at a loss for words, and it seemed that he couldn't say anything else except these two words. Lin Jiang waved his hand helplessly and told it to get out and play by itself.

········

"Daoyou, He Shaoyun from the Yunjian Sect is here to visit you. Please come and see me as soon as possible."

Seven days after killing Yusong, a figure landed in front of Lin Jiang's cave. He was polite, but his consciousness invaded Lin Jiang's cave in an extremely domineering way.

"I am a casual cultivator Lin Wu, I meet the senior from the Yunjian Sect."

Lin Jiang went out and saluted honestly. He knew that what was coming would still come.

"Lin Wu, do you know that my He family once wanted a casual cultivator who possessed the Aurora Falcon?"

"I've heard that. Senior, do you think that person is me?"

"I'm not sure, so I came to ask, how long have you been in the Yunzhong Mountains?" "About

forty years."

"How old are you this year?"

"Eighty-seven."

"Where did you practice before coming to the Yunzhong Mountains?"

"I've been to Wandering Tianya, Ruiyang Mountain, Anhua City, and the Taishou Mountain area under the Five Elements Sect."

"I've been to Ruiyang Mountain too, so do you know..."

He Shaoyun immediately followed Lin Jiang's words and asked about some things near Ruiyang Mountain.

"You are wrong, senior. Ruiyang Mountain stopped accepting independent cultivators a long time ago. They set up many tasks. You have to complete the tasks and obtain their merit points before you can join. I remember that the foundation-building period was 30,000 merit points. I haven't been there for a long time. I don't know how many points it is now."

Lin Jiang knew that He Shaoyun's words were all traps. Fortunately, he had prepared before and picked out the mistakes in He Shaoyun's words.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is right. I haven't been there for a long time. I remembered it wrong. Where did you get this beast pet from?"

"It's inherited from my ancestors. They are raised by my parents. They should be 160 or 170 years old. They regard me as their brother. We have lived together since we were young."

"Can I take a look?"

"Okay."

Lin Jiang nodded and took out the Aurora Falcon from the storage bag.

"Brother, eat, eat..."

As soon as the big sand sculpture came out, it immediately shouted at Lin Jiang. The huge bird head rubbed against Lin Jiang, which could knock Lin Jiang down. When they were still small, they could only rub against Lin Jiang's trouser legs.

He Shaoyun stretched out his hand and tried to touch the big sand sculpture. The big sand sculpture's hair stood up immediately and made an attacking gesture towards He Shaoyun. It was close to Lin Jiang, but that didn't mean anyone could stroke its hair.

"Be quiet,"

Lin Jiang immediately comforted the big sand sculpture, hugged it directly, and secretly told it to stop resisting.

He Shaoyun stretched out his hand and put it on the big sand sculpture. His spiritual consciousness had already invaded its body, which made the big sand sculpture almost explode again. Lin Jiang tried his best to comfort it.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Lin, this is Yiling Pill, which is specially made for beast pets. If beast pets eat this Yiling Pill for a long time, it can quickly increase their spirituality and open their wisdom. It is the He family's apology today."

He Shaoyun retracted his hand and took out two pills as apology.

He had already checked that the life span of this Aurora Falcon was indeed around 160 or 170 years old, proving that Lin Jiang was not lying. In addition, other details can also prove that He Yunwei died nearly a hundred years ago, and the time does not match.

In fact, He Shaoyun almost forgot who He Yunwei was. If his elders hadn't mentioned it occasionally, he wouldn't have cared about it at all. Now it's just a routine check, that's enough.

"Thank you, senior. I

don't dare to take it." "There's nothing to be afraid of. The He family is not an unreasonable family. Keep it." "

Thank you, senior."

"Raising a third-level monster beast is very expensive. Even if it's to maintain their realm, the annual expenditure is not a small amount. If one day you don't want to raise them, come to Yunjian Sect to find me, and I will give you a satisfactory price to take them."

He Shaoyun said. The value of a third-level beast pet is already very high. If Lin Jiang is willing to sell it, he will really pay a high price for it.

"This is a gift from my parents. I have no intention of selling it for the time being. In my eyes, they are not only beast pets, but also family members."

"Understand, I'm leaving. Come back to me when you change your mind."

He Shaoyun nodded, and then flew away immediately, not wanting to entangle with Lin Jiang any more.

Lin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. After today's hurdle, the He family's affairs were over.
