Yunzhong City, North District

Lin Jiang and Cao Ying stood in front of a house. Lin Jiang watched Cao Ying skillfully open the defense formation of the house, and then walked in.

"Whose house is this? It's very beautiful."

Lin Jiang looked at the house. It was not small, and the yard was full of flowers, which looked particularly romantic.

"Mine"

"Oh, wait, yours, is it yours in the literal sense?"

"Yes, I bought it"

"Xiaoying, lying is not a good thing, please don't lie to your uncle, okay?"

Lin Jiang turned around and said to Cao Ying with a serious face. It is not good for children to lie.

"I didn't lie to you. I really bought it last year."

"Ahem, can you tell uncle how much money you spent on this house? Where did the money come from?"

"One million and eight hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Money, where did the money come from? Did you find a place where spirit stones rain down from the sky? Take uncle there quickly."

Lin Jiang suddenly became uneasy. Where did Cao Ying get so many spirit stones? Even if she robbed a bank, she couldn't rob so many. Could it be that she robbed the warehouse of the Bank of China?

"I earned it and saved it."

"Xiaoying, you are not a good child if you only speak half of what you say. Explain it to me clearly."

Lin Jiang was angry. This child said half and kept the other half. Isn't this just keeping people on suspense?

"Uncle, I have a very high income. Listen, I am a disciple of the elder in Zhonghang Sect. I get a salary of 5,000 spirit stones a year in the Qi training stage, 30,000 spirit stones a year in the foundation building stage, and spiritual medicines such as Zhenyuan Dan. With the spiritual medicines distributed by the sect, half of my cultivation needs are solved. For

the rest of the pills, I ask my master's disciples to refine them at cost price, with very little cost. In addition, Feilai Peak has its own industry, and I can also get more than 10,000 spirit stones every year. Now I am in the Jindan stage, I can get 30,000 every year.

In addition, I also do tasks for the sect, and there are rewards to be taken, depending on the tasks. I was in Juxing Tower before, and I earned 5,000 spirit stones a year.

But the most money was earned in the eight years when I went to the wilderness in the north. I earned hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year, and I saved more and more. I originally wanted to buy a Jindan treasure, but I didn't expect my master to prepare it for me, and I saved a lot of money. In the end, there were so many spirit stones that my storage bag couldn't hold them, so I thought about buying a house..." "Is

the wilderness so profitable?"

"No, independent cultivators don't make money, but I do."

"Why?"

"Because I have a good master. My master asked my sister to protect me, so I can go to places that others dare not go. Even if I encounter a third-level monster, my sister will save my life. In addition, I hunt monsters, collect herbs, and mine, and the prices are different from yours. The sect charges me about 50% higher than you. In addition, the prices for repairing and buying things in the base are also much lower than yours, and accommodation is free. So naturally I make more money than you."

"Jealous"

Lin Jiang gritted his teeth and blurted out two words. Is the end of the universe really a system? Cao Ying joined Zhongxing Sect and got so many benefits. This is too amazing.

"Uncle, don't be jealous. No one else has this treatment. Only the direct disciples have it. There are no more than a hundred direct disciples in Zhongxing Sect."

Cao Ying smiled. It's not just her uncle who is jealous of her. More than 90% of people in Zhongxing Sect are jealous of her because this is not a treatment that everyone can get.

"Well, uncle, don't be jealous. The richer you are, the better. The more powerful you are, the better. Uncle will follow you in the future,"

Lin Jiang said. He was already numb, so why should he be jealous? Look at Cao Ying, then look at himself. He was complacent with the little achievements he had before. He has lived like a dog for more than two hundred years.

"Uncle, then it's a deal. You are not allowed to run away in the future."

"No."

"If you promise me that you will not run away in the future, I will give you this house."

"What the hell?"

Lin Jiang was confused. Is his eldest niece so filial? How embarrassing.

"You heard it right. This house will be yours in the future."

"Why do you have to wait until later? Can't you give it to me now?"

"Not that it's impossible. I'm just afraid that you will sell the house and run away."

"Ahem, uncle is not that kind of person."

Lin Jiang was a little embarrassed. Cao Ying, Cao Ying, you are really good at judging people.

"Uncle, please don't run away. Stay here. I'll find a way to help you form a pill."

"Don't run away. I don't need your help. Take care of yourself. When you become stronger and better, uncle will be happy."

Lin Jiang put away his smile and said seriously. Cao Ying told him at least thirty times that day not to run away. It can be seen that Cao Ying was really afraid that he would run away again. Thirty years of absence left a big shadow on her.

Cao Ying asked him to sit down and asked what Lin Jiang had been doing these years. Lin Jiang felt even more guilty. He didn't dare to say that he had been in the Yunzhong Mountains all these years but didn't come to see her, so Lin Jiang had to change the subject and asked about Cao Ying's life in Zhongxing Sect. Cao Ying talked nonstop and shared every bit of his life with Lin Jiang.

······

"Dad, are you sure the person is here?"

Lin Die said to Lin Batian in front of Cao Ying's residence in Beicheng District.

"My gun talisman, isn't it normal to keep some tricks? As long as he hasn't sold the gun talisman, it's right, knock on the door,"

said Lin Batian. This time he came to find the Lin Wu that Lin Die mentioned. According to Lin Die, the boy should be a member of their Lin family who was stranded outside. There are

not many immortal cultivators in the Lin family. After occupying Anhua City for decades, they have ushered in a great development, but there are only more than a thousand immortal cultivators. If he is a talent, he must be taken back. If he is not a Lin family member, the gun talisman must be taken back and given some other treasures to send him off. This gun talisman was made by him with great effort. He only gave it to three people in the entire Lin family, and it cannot be cheap to outsiders.

"It's you"

Cao Ying heard someone knocking on the door, opened the door and looked, a little surprised.

"It turned out to be Sister Cao"

Lin Die was also very surprised. They had met before. Lin Batian took her to attend the welcome banquet held by Ouyang Qing for him, and met Cao Ying at the banquet.

Lin Die was very impressed with her, because she knew that Cao Ying was a favored genius of Zhongxing Sect. He was less than 60 years old, but he had already formed a pill. This talent was amazing.

"What are you doing here, Senior Sister Lin?"

"Looking for Lin Wu"

"Who is Lin Wu?

" "He lives here"

"I don't have a person named Lin Wu here"

"Junior Sister Cao, I won't go to the wrong place,"

said Lin Die. There was a mark of Lin Batian on the spear talisman, so he would never go to the wrong place.

"Lin Wu..."

Cao Ying's mind turned, and she realized something immediately.

"I said, there is no such person, Senior Sister Lin went to the wrong place, it's okay, that's it"

"Wait, I have no hostility, really, he may be one of my clansmen who are stranded outside, and my father and I are here to find him"

Lin Die knew that Cao Ying might misunderstand, and hurriedly said, Cao Ying saw Lin Batian not far away, and felt a little flustered, and didn't know what to do.

"Xiaoying, who is it?"

At this time, Lin Jiang heard the movement, walked out, and saw Lin Die, and was also very surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, we meet again."

"Fellow Daoist, you must have recognized the wrong person."

"Your disguise technique is very good, but I'm not here to cause you trouble. I can restore my original appearance,"

said Lin Die. The person in front of her was four or five points similar to Lin Wu, and she would not recognize him wrongly.

"You need to improve your disguise technique. It's best to learn a secret technique that can shrink bones."

Lin Jiang sighed in his heart. His disguise technique was not a problem for deceiving ordinary cultivators, but it was still difficult to deceive those with intentions. He had to improve next time.

"What did the senior want to see me about?

" "My father wanted to confirm whether you are a member of the Lin family .

" "Yes or no, what difference does it make?"

"Of course, if you are a member of my Lin family, then you have to go home and recognize your ancestors. A wanderer outside needs a home, right?"

"Who I am and where I come from are no longer important. What is important is the present and the future. Regardless of whether I have any relationship with the Lin family, I have no intention of going to Anhua City,"

said Lin Jiang. He didn't dare to go back now. There were too many things that he couldn't explain clearly.

"Don't mind, fellow Lin. We Lin men do have many problems, but we still care about our clan members. If you are a Lin family member, even if you don't want to go home, we will give you some help."

"Ahem."

Lin Batian was immediately unhappy when he heard it. What do you mean Lin men have many problems? Isn't he a Lin man? Is there anyone who says that about your father?

Lin Jiang only noticed Lin Batian at this time. After more than a hundred years, he met this cheap old father again, and his mood was quite complicated. It

was true that Lin Batian was his biological father, but Lin Jiang was not close to him. Not only him, but also the original owner. In the decades of Lin family, Lin Jiang and him probably didn't say more than 500 words, and most of them were routine questions and answers. It can be said that there was no father-son relationship. But

Lin Jiang didn't blame him much in his heart. After all, he had too many children and couldn't take care of them. Lin Jiang was just indifferent to the father-son relationship. The memories of the Lin family to him were more about Lin Die, Lin Ying, his mother Zhuang Rong and Lingtao Villa.

"Greetings, City Lord Lin."

Cao Ying saluted Lin Batian. Lin Batian had a good relationship with her master Ouyang Qing, so they had to follow the proper etiquette.

"Little friend Cao, there is no need to be polite."

Lin Batian stepped forward, then he looked at Lin Jiang and finally said, "Judging from your appearance and figure, you look like the descendant of the sixth elder. Is your father called Lin Jiang?"
