The next morning, instead of feeling sad about the death of their old patriarch, the Lin family seemed to be thriving.
After hearing that Venerable Long had killed the veteran Venerable Lin Jifeng, warriors from all over the world came to offer treasures and try to establish a relationship with him.
The Lin family’s gate was almost demolished.
"Your Excellency Long, I am the head of the Jiufeng Sect. I have come to present you with a treasure and to apologize. This is the Jiufeng Sect's secret manual, 'Dharma Nine Fists'. To practice this Kung Fu..."
The old man was interrupted by Long Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed in the armchair just as he was halfway through his words.
"Take it away, what use do I have for this technique?"
The old man stammered for a moment, wanting to say something else, but was pushed aside by hundreds of warriors lined up in a long queue.
"The Shen family in Yandu heard that Venerable Long needed a thousand-year-old elixir, but the Shen family's best elixir is only five hundred years old. I wonder if it will be worthy of Venerable Long's attention?"
Without even raising his eyelids, Long Yi lazily said, "Stay. Your account with the Shen family is written off."
Seeing that there were at least a hundred warriors queuing up behind him, Long Yi felt a headache.
Starting from seven o'clock this morning, this group of warriors spontaneously lined up in front of the Lin family's door, and the Lin family's servants couldn't drive them away no matter how hard they tried.
These warriors insisted on waiting for Long Yi to show up. They would not be satisfied until Long Yi personally apologized or presented him with gifts to curry favor.
From seven o'clock this morning to now, a full five hours, the gifts behind Long Yi have piled up like a mountain. They are of all kinds, ranging from martial arts secrets to rare treasures, and someone even gave him a house in Yandu.
The funniest thing is that the leader of a small sect in Yandu insisted on giving the exquisite furnace that he had cultivated since childhood to Long Yi.
Long Yi naturally refused. The beautiful girls at home were already enough to give him a headache. If he accepted all the wild flowers and weeds, it would be a bad peach blossom.
"Forget it, Steward Lin. Now that the remaining warriors have arrived, it would be inappropriate to send them away. Please register their gifts in the register and I will select from them."
After giving the order, Long Yi stood up and called Tang Xuehui, who had been watching coldly from the side, over.
"Elder Tang, you haven't forgotten what you promised me a few days ago, right?" Long Yi stared at Tang Xuehui with a half-smile.
In full view of the crowd, Tang Xuehui was stared at by Long Yi. At first she was able to remain calm, but in less than half a minute, her pretty face turned red with shame.
"You...you are simply a born pervert. I only promised to take you to find the Tang Sect, but how come you say it as if I promised to be your concubine?" Tang Xuehui stomped her feet in anger.
"Don't worry about that." Long Yi restrained the playful smile on his face and added: "I'm not interested in old women."
"You!" Tang Xuehui was so angry that she clenched her green fingers tightly, and her nails were embedded in her skin.
Although she is just thirty years old, her appearance and figure are no different from those of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and she even has a bit more charm of a mature woman.
How come she became an old woman in this guy's mouth?
Long Yi skipped over the topic and looked deeply at the Hundred Thousand Mountains southwest of Yandu, then said:
"Lead the way, and set off for Tang Sect immediately."
After saying this, Long Yi strode out of the Lin Mansion amid the astonishment of hundreds of warriors and the Lin family members present.
Tang Xuehui, who was behind him, followed reluctantly under the watchful gaze of the big ghost.
"This...is Lord Long leaving just like that?"
"Such a great man really does what he wants. If only I could be as carefree and relaxed as him."
Everyone thought that after Long Yi killed Lin Jifeng in one fell swoop and became the real ruler of the Lin family, he would live a life of luxury and squander the savings of the Lin family.
Even the Lin family had made preparations for this, and had the finance department transfer tens of billions of yuan to a bank card, which was then personally delivered to Long Yi by Grandpa Lin.
Not only Lin Yahan, the Lin family even arranged all the beautiful women in the family to be with Long Yi, specifically to take care of his daily life.
As a result, not only did he not touch the women, he didn't even spend a penny of the Lin family's money. He just stayed at the Lin family for a few days and then left.
On the way, Tang Xuehui was also stunned: "You... left like this without taking anything?"
Long Yi jokingly said: "Who said I didn't bring anything? Didn't I bring you with me?"
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Tang Xuehui's pretty face flushed for no reason. "The Yandu Lin family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the family fortune they've accumulated over the years is worth at least hundreds of billions, including countless natural treasures and rare antiques.
You just left without taking anything?"
Long Yi walked ahead with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Your realm is limited to the petty gains in front of you. How can you understand my grand ambitions?"
Money was now of little importance to him. The annual sales of the Soul Storage Pill alone reached tens of billions. His reputation in Yandu was what he should be concerned about. A combination of kindness and force was the right approach.
If after killing Lin Jifeng, he was impatient to spend lavishly and indulge in extravagance and debauchery in the Lin Mansion, he would only be branded as vulgar by the people.
The most important thing right now is to go to the Tang Sect and take away those thousand-year-old elixirs.
After the battle with Lin Jifeng a few days ago, the bottleneck of Long Yi's heavenly realm has been loosened. If he can refine all those thousand-year-old elixirs this time, he will definitely be able to break through the heavenly realm in one fell swoop. By then, who in the world can be his opponent?
Everyone calls Long Yi the Venerable, but this is totally wrong. Long Yi's true strength is only at the peak of the Earth Realm.
If the world knew that Long Yi, with his cultivation at the peak of the Earth Realm, had toyed with a Venerable at the peak of the Heaven Realm to death, their eyes would probably fall to the ground in shock.
The fact that he could challenge opponents of higher levels just showed how profound Long Yi's foundation was and how much potential he had for the future.
"Arrogant!" Tang Xuehui followed Long Yi with her head down, muttering to herself.
"When I bring you to the Tang Sect, I'll see if you can still be so tough in front of the Patriarch. Don't dig your own grave by then, and be buried forever in the mountains of Yandu."
The Tang Clan is not like an ordinary aristocratic family that relies on blood inheritance. Instead, it is like a sect where the most accomplished are respected. Anyone who reaches a certain status in the Tang Clan will be rewarded with the surname "Tang" by the head of the family. Tang Xuehui's real name is not Tang.
Tang Xuehui grew up in the Tang Clan and had witnessed the Patriarch's might countless times. Naturally, she had full trust in him. After all, he was a great master, the Poison King of Dragon Country.
What's more, the Tang Clan's disciples are spread all over the world, their power is complex and intertwined, and the patriarch has benevolent influence on the world. There are countless elders, worshippers and warriors who are willing to fight to the death for the Tang Clan. Even if Long Yi is a master of martial arts, he will never come back.
