Lin Jiang has been in Yunzhong
City these days. Before the centennial celebration, all the major businesses will finalize some items for the auction and issue notices in advance so that customers can prepare in advance.
Lin Jiang has been collecting this information. If you want to get some treasures, you must prepare in advance, otherwise you will have to spend a lot of money in vain.
The top businesses in Yunzhong City are mainly Duobao Pavilion and Juxing Tower. Every time they celebrate their centennial celebrations, they hold the most auctions, and the specifications are the highest. Every time they celebrate their centennial celebrations, some unexpected treasures will appear.
The second is the medium-sized business alliance headed by Sihai Business. They have gathered more than a dozen medium-sized businesses and jointly held auctions. The quality may not be as good as Duobao Pavilion, but the momentum is not weak at all.
They are also one of Lin Jiang's key targets. The top auctions of Duobao Pavilion and Juxing Tower actually have nothing to do with Lin Jiang. First, he can't afford it, and second, he may not be qualified.
"It seems that I still need to restore my identity as Lin Sheng and borrow Cao Ying's thigh."
Lin Jiang wandered around for a few days and found that his current identity was really not very impressive. The main reason was that Lin Jiang had used too many identities to buy things before, and many of them were bought in the fake black market in the city. He didn't have any points at all. The business didn't care whether you were invincible in the foundation building. If you didn't consume enough spirit stones, you were not qualified.
"I haven't seen Cao Ying for more than 30 years. If I meet him now, I will probably be blamed to death."
Lin Jiang also thought of this problem. He left for more than 30 years without a word and there was no news. Cao Ying must be mad to death. If they met now, I don't know how embarrassing it would be.
"Forget it, forget it, let's talk about it later, figure out a way first."
Lin Jiang hesitated for a long time and decided to talk about it later. If he really couldn't go to the auction he wanted to go to, he would use Lin Sheng's identity again.
Two days later, Lin Jiang was discussing the treasure lists released by major businesses with several familiar foundation-building casual cultivators in a restaurant. Suddenly, he felt something unusual in his storage bag. Lin Jiang hurriedly took a look and was shocked. It was the control token of his cave formation that was constantly beating.
"Is someone stealing my house?"
Lin Jiang was a little anxious. He quickly found an excuse to leave and then walked quickly to the city gate.
Although Lin Jiang placed spiritual stones on the base of the Eight Gates Golden Armor Formation before leaving home to make up for the lack of spiritual veins and spiritual energy, he didn't put much, and the formation needed someone to control it to achieve the greatest effect. If no one controlled it, it would be a dead object and it would be easy for someone to find a weakness and break it.
Lin Jiang invested too much effort in his cave. If someone stole his house, it would be a big loss.
"No, no, something is wrong."
Lin Jiang walked to the city gate and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Lin Jiang killed Yu Song and his group in Cang Ying Ling, and the news had already spread. Yu Song was a great perfection in the foundation building stage, and Lin Jiang's Aurora Falcon was also exposed, so the ones who attacked were definitely not those people in the Black Water Pond, but definitely above the Golden Core stage.
"The one who targeted me was a Golden Core, and they attacked my cave to lure me out. This is their purpose."
Lin Jiang reacted instantly. He didn't know who was targeting him, but if he went out like this, he would definitely die.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiang turned around and continued to walk back to the city. At worst, he would give up the things in the cave. Compared with his life, those properties were nothing.
"Daoyou, please stay."
Before he had walked far, a man stopped in front of Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang's spiritual consciousness swept away in front of him, and Lin Jiang realized that this person was a Golden Core cultivator.
"Just tell me directly, where are you from and why do you want to lure me out of the city?"
"Friend Lin, you are holding something in your hand. It's ours. We hope you can return it to us."
"What is that? How come I don't know it?"
"Array Breaking Cone"
"Array Breaking Cone. You just remembered it after all these years. How can you not feel embarrassed?"
Lin Jiang understood who this person was in an instant. He was a member of the Dark Night Organization, but the Array Breaking Cone belonged to the assassin who was with Zhou Yunyang when Lin Jiang killed him. Thirty years have passed. What was this guy thinking?
"I can't help it. I'm too busy and can't split my time between them. I hope that Fellow Daoist Lin will give me some convenience."
"What if I don't?
" "If you don't, I'm sorry. Fellow Daoist Lin will be in trouble next time. My Dark Night Organization will come back and Fellow Daoist Lin may become one of our first targets. Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't want to be assassinated at any time in the future , do you?"
The man replied. The Dark Night Organization has been in bad luck since the battle in Sanjiangkou Town that year. First, it was suppressed by the two major sects together, and many people died. After that, several consecutive missions failed, especially the assassins at the foundation-building stage, who were few and far between.
In addition to the continuous high-pressure attacks from the two major sects, they had to hide and remain silent, and even transferred their main forces to other places, leaving only a small number of people near Yunzhong City. It was not until now that the main forces were sent back from above.
"I'm very curious. The Formation Breaking Cone is just a spiritual weapon. Is it worth all the trouble for you?"
"This is our business. Fellow Daoist Lin, you just need to return the things to us."
"But based on my understanding of you, you won't let me go even if I return the things."
Lin Jiang shook his head. The Formation Breaking Cone was a great threat to him. He was in the Cloud Mountains, and relied on the formation to protect himself. If the Dark Night Organization had the Formation Breaking Cone, it would be easy to break through his formation defense. What's more, this thing had been in his hands for decades. How could it be possible for Dark Night to let him take it back just like that?
"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't make a mistake. Sometimes, a quarrel of arrogance can cost
you your life." "Does this count as a threat to me?"
"So what?"
"Someone, there is an assassin from the Dark Night Organization here. He wants to kill me."
Suddenly, Lin Jiang shouted loudly. The pedestrians around were stunned at first, and then they focused their eyes on the two people.
"..."
The people from the Dark Night Organization were all stunned. They were really angry. You, Lao Liu, actually have no martial ethics and play dirty tricks.
"Remember this for me."
The man left a message and quickly used his skills to escape, because he had seen a patrol coming this way.
"Where is the assassin, where is the assassin?"
The patrol soon appeared. The two major sects have always maintained a high-pressure policy against the assassin organization. In their eyes, the assassin organization is equivalent to a terrorist organization in the world of immortal cultivation.
Lin Jiang confessed honestly and also described the man's appearance. Although he might be a disguise, it could also cause them some trouble.
Of course, there can't be an immediate response to such a thing. The patrols just recorded the incident and let Lin Jiang go.
Lin Jiang didn't expect them to do anything. He had already made a decision not to leave Yunzhong City before the end of the Centennial Celebration. He would hide in Yunzhong City for a while.
········
"Fellow Daoist Lin, where have you been all these years?"
In Juxing Tower, when Lin Jiang appeared again as Lin Sheng, the shopkeeper immediately complained to Lin Jiang.
"Manager Zhang has become Shopkeeper Zhang, congratulations."
Lin Jiang smiled. More than 30 years have passed. The former shopkeeper has gone to nowhere. The former manager has been promoted.
"Fellow Daoist Lin..."
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I am just traveling around. There is no need to be so exaggerated."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know that Cao Ying has been looking for you like crazy all these years? For three years, Cao Ying has been working in Juxing Tower just to wait for Fellow Daoist Lin."
"Is that so?"
When Lin Jiang heard this, he felt guilty. He didn't expect Cao Ying to do these things.
"How can I lie to you? Cao Ying has been here for three years, waiting for you, and she has also been deceived. Someone said that she saw you in the south of Yuntuo River, so she went to find you. Unexpectedly, she was ambushed. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the sect, she might have died."
"How is Cao Ying?"
Lin Jiang's defense was instantly broken. He couldn't listen anymore and asked anxiously.
"She's fine. You wait here. I'll go inform Cao Ying."
"Okay."
"I'll be there soon, at most an hour."
"I'll wait."
Lin Jiang nodded. At this time, he was already in deep regret. He really didn't expect Cao Ying to do these things for him, and he almost got deceived because of it. It was really damned.
"Bang"
An hour passed quickly, and the door was pushed open heavily. Cao Ying appeared at the door and stared at Lin Jiang blankly.
"Xiaoying..."
Lin Jiang called out, Cao Ying didn't answer, just looked at him, and then walked forward step by step, very slowly, tears streaming down.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I hate to see women cry the most."
Lin Jiang seemed a little flustered. He wanted to wipe Cao Ying's tears like he did when she was a child, but he found that Cao Ying was a big girl, so this was not a good idea.
Oh, has no one in this world invented paper towels?
"Uncle..."
"Hey, I'm here."
"I'm hungry and want to eat the food you cook."
"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you right away, I'll make it for you right away
." Lin Jiang quickly agreed, but found that there were no pots and pans, so what was he going to do?
In the end, he had to borrow the residence of the guys in Juxing Building to have a place to cook. Lin Jiang worked for an hour and made more than a dozen dishes that Cao Ying liked.
"Why don't you eat it?"
"I dare not eat it."
"Why, are you afraid that your uncle will poison you?"
Lin Jiang decided to tell a joke, and then he successfully made the scene awkward. It was very embarrassing.
“Haha, just kidding, just kidding.”
“I’m afraid that after we finish eating, you’ll run away again and not show up for decades again. Uncle, don’t you want Xiaoying anymore?”
“How could that be? I’m back now.” “
Then don’t run away again.”
“No, no.” “
Don’t lie to me.”
“I won’t lie to you.”
“Really don’t lie to me. I’m in the Golden Core Stage now. If you dare to lie to me, I’ll take you back to Zhongxing Sect. I, I…”
“What the hell, you’re already in the Golden Core Stage?”
When Lin Jiang heard this, the food in his mouth didn’t smell good anymore. He hadn’t seen her for only 30 years. Is she already in the Golden Core Stage? Is it that fast? Damn it.
My little niece is going to become my senior. I’ll be a generation shorter when we meet.
