Cultivation: Being Immortal

Yun State，Anhua City

When a auspicious cloud appeared over Anhua City, Lin Batian disappeared from his secluded room and appeared in the sky.

"I wonder which esteemed ancestor has arrived."

"Has City Lord Lin ever heard of the Cloud Sword Sect?"

"It's you, Jiang Yunchong! So, you've come to seek revenge for Jiang Yijian?"

Lin Batian smiled and said. Jiang Yijian's ancestor, from the Cloud Sword Sect, a powerful Nascent Soul expert from several hundred years ago. Later, he disappeared from the ranks of elders in the Cloud Sword Sect. Some say he passed away, but those in the know believe he advanced to a higher level.

"City Lord Lin is so arrogant, unbeatable with his Nascent Soul. I suppose he's not afraid of someone like me who can only change souls. I've come to learn a few moves."

"The Cloud Sword Sect is really shameless. They send their young ones when they can't win. Disgusting, they have no shame."

"If City Lord Lin finishes speaking, he can go and die."

Jiang Yunchong smiled and said. What use is there in arguing? Anhua City has angered so many this time. Death is inevitable.

"Who said I'm going to die? If you die, it doesn't mean I will too."

"Well, then I might have to take action."

"Wait, I'll show you something."

Lin Batian immediately said, then he threw out a jade scroll. Jiang Yun reached out and took the jade scroll, scanning it with his divine sense. His face changed dramatically.

"You, you..."

"Surprised, aren't you? Unexpected, isn't it?"

"How could you show me this?"

"Since you've seen it now, tell me if you're convinced or not."

"If I kill you, no one will know."

"Is that so? My Lin family has thousands of people. Can you guarantee that there won't be any escaped fish?"

"You..."

"Old man, remember, don't look at everything randomly in the future, be careful not to go blind."

"Lin family remnants, deserve to die."

"If you keep insulting me, I will make ten thousand copies of the jade scroll and give each disciple of the Cloud Sword Sect a copy, burying you all."

"Do you dare?"

"Watch if I dare or not, anyway, if I die, I'll take a few of you down with me."

Lin Batian shrugged his shoulders and acted like a rogue, this made Jiang Yun Chong feel very helpless, unable to advance or retreat, it's really a shame he shouldn't have looked around randomly.

"Brother Yun Chong, what's wrong? Why aren't you moving?"

Just at that moment, two auspicious clouds floated over, each with a person inside.

"Brother Feng, Brother Shi, why did you come here?"

Jiang Yun rushed to look at the two people and said. Shi Yuntang from the Five Elements Sect and Feng Zhang from the Zhonghang Sect are both the Soul Changing Ancestors of their respective sects.

"I heard that there is an extraordinary person appearing in Yun State, who single-handedly fought against eleven Nascent Soul cultivators. Such a hero naturally wants to pay a visit."

"If I don't take a couple of slashes at this hero, it would be a shame."

The two laughed out loud. They had both received urgent messages from their sects and rushed back specifically. Lin Batian is really fierce. If he continues to develop, Yun State will have another overlord. This would cause great losses for the three sects.

"Both Senior Brothers are right. Feng brother, I'll show you something good."

Jiang Yun nodded, then expressionlessly threw the jade slip to Feng Zhang. Feng Zhang, after scanning it with his divine sense, had the same drastic change in expression as Jiang Yun. Then there was a deathly silence.

"Senior Brother Jiang, Feng Brother, what good thing did you see?"

"Shi Brother, you'll know when you see it."

Feng Zhang silently threw the jade slip to Shi Yuntang. After Shi Yuntang took it, he scanned it with his divine sense, silently cast a spell, and turned the jade slip into ashes.

"Feng Zhang, Jiang Yun Chong, I'm your uncle."

After a moment, Shi Yuntang scolded the two of them loudly, but they didn't care, as scolding wouldn't hurt them.

"Hahaha..."

Lin Batian watched as the three of them were about to start fighting, and he burst out laughing.

·······

Lin Jiang stood on the wall of the Five Elements Sect stronghold for a whole day. When it was getting dark, Zhang Shuhua came to his side and said. You've been watching for days, what are you looking at?

"Counting people."

"What?"

"Before, there used to be about three to five thousand people coming to the stronghold from various places every day. But for the past five days, the daily flow has been around five hundred people. Five hundred people will be the approximate number of people coming in the future, so the manpower at the stronghold should be reduced by eighty to ninety percent, otherwise it will be a loss."

"Are you still thinking about this?"

Zhang Shuhua was a bit speechless. What does the point have to do with them? They still receive their pay from the sect, right?

"Of course you have to think about it, it's a big loss."

"What about your businesses?"

"Nonsense."

"If there's no business, there's no business. Anyway, the pay from the sect is enough for you to use."

"I can't explain it to you. I'm leaving."

Lin Jiang waved his hand. Besides their pay, they also receive money for missions while stationed at the base. If they were ordinary people, cutting back a bit might be enough.

But Lin Jiang doesn't have enough. His talent is so poor, how could he not use drugs properly? Plus, without money, how can he go talk to the little miss? Poor people won't care about you.

That evening, Lin Jiang appeared at Chunfeng Tower. Chunfeng Tower had very poor business now, and both Yue Qing and Sister Hua were worried. Their costs were much higher than Lin Jiang's businesses.

"Senior Brother Xiao, the spiritual wine was sent over, and they accepted it. But the price isn't as good as before. In the end, we won't be making much money each month."

Yue Qing told Lin Jiang that Wei Yunshen's base had been taken over by the Five Elements Sect. However, Wei Yunshen's disciples were still working there as stewards. After all, they were familiar with the situation.

They had been cooperating before. Now, the new base had a huge increase in foot traffic, while the old one had a sharp decline in foot traffic. So Lin Jiang asked Yue Qing to increase the supply of spiritual wine. But the prices for retail and suppliers must be different.

"It's alright, it's just a short-term setback. Wei Yunshen's top disciple and I have a good relationship. He has promised to reserve a few shops for me. The future might not be as good as previous years, but it will definitely be better than most people. Yue Qing, how about you go there and take charge?"

"Senior Brother Xiao, let Jiang Shu go. I want to return to Medicine City."

"Senior Brother Yue, are you planning to retire early?"

"No, Sister Hua is getting old, and she can't handle the constant running around anymore. I want to accompany her for the rest of her life. The girls in the building are also reaching a similar age. We've earned enough money for retirement in these years. We don't want to keep hustling."

Yue Qing said, and Lin Jiang widened his eyes after hearing it. Is it true? Is it true? Yue Qing wants to take care of Sister Hua in her old age?

Could it be true? Are they really in love?

"Senior Brother Xiao, why are you looking at me like that?"

"There are no outsiders here. You tell me honestly, what do you want to do? I can tell you, it's okay to desire wealth, but don't harm others."

Lin Jiang looked around and set up a barrier. He said to Yue Qing.

"Senior Brother Xiao, why are you saying this about me? Am I that type of person, Yue Qing?"

"No?"

"Really not. Alright, I admit it. I took a liking to Sister Hua's secret stash of money. She has earned a lot these years and saved up even more than me. But I never thought of harming her. I truly want to support her in her old age."

Under Lin Jiang's gaze, Yue Qing honestly confessed that Sister Hua had given up cultivation many years ago. She only spends a little money on food and drinks, saving up everything she earns. He was supporting her in her old age, and that money belonged to him.

"Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Yue truly loves Sister Hua and wouldn't do anything like that."

"Okay, it's up to you. Jiang Shu, do you want to go to the new base?"

"Sure, there's nowhere else to go back to the mountain gate anyway. Staying here might even bring us some fortune."

Jiang Shu said that as a disciple without connections or background, going back to the mountain gate would only mean doing the least profitable tasks or the most dangerous ones. It would be better to stay here in Wilderness, where the danger is low as long as we stay in the base.

"Alright, let's arrange it like this for now. We'll close down any business that can be closed and transfer anything that can be transferred. What do you think?"

"Great. How about you, Senior Brother Xiao?"

"I'll hold my position."

Lin Jiang burst into laughter. He couldn't be happier with his current position. He didn't have to work during the day anymore, just practice at night, even better than a typical nine-to-five job.

From now on, he could slack off and practice during the day, and at night, he could have free time to do whatever he wanted. He also needed to improve his talisman technique skills or maybe go out and have some fun with Small Shadiao. As long as he worked hard, he wouldn't have nothing to do.
