Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 235:

Bing State, residence of the Lin family

After analyzing Zhang Wanjing’s words, Lin Jiang strongly suspected that this was a test from the Five Elements Sect, to see where he stood, whether on the side of the Lin family or on the side of the Five Elements Sect.

Especially when Zhang Wanjing presented the insights of two other powerful martial arts techniques and the Five Spirit Manual, wasn’t it a test for him? To see how he would choose when faced with great advantages.

And Lin Jiang knew very well that no matter what choice he made, it would harm the other party. This was a dilemma.

"Only kids make choices, adults want everything, pff, don’t want anything at all!"

Lin Jiang racked his brains for three days and nights, finally came up with a solution to break the deadlock. Since choosing either way was wrong, why not choose nothing?

Although avoiding was shameful, it was quite useful.

Thinking, Lin Jiang immediately went to Lin Batian’ cave to bid farewell.

"Why do you want to leave when everything is fine?"

Lin Batian was a bit confused. Wasn’t Lin Jiang doing well in the Lin family? He had a prestigious status and many Lin family descendants called him uncle. Lin Die didn’t dislike him either.

"The world is so big, and I want to go and see."

"Speak in a way that people can understand."

"I heard Yi Zhibai married a beautiful wife. His wife has a sister, and I want to go and try to win her over."

"Haha, does the Lin family not have any beautiful women left?"

"I am also surnamed Lin."

"I woke up early, so you don’t have to worry."

"The wife is someone else’s pretty."

"Are you going to fight with Yi Zhibai for the wife? Can you beat him?"

"Master, a forcibly picked melon is not sweet. My decision to leave is firm, staying here is meaningless."

"Lin Wu, you also know that I’ve tricked your Yun State’s three major sects. Although they don’t say it out loud, they definitely remember it in their hearts. With you here, there can still be a buffer."

"I only have a golden core."

Lin Jiang forced a smile and said. What kind of buffer? Now they have already started testing. Who knows what will happen in the future?

"Your master is Zhang Wanjing. Don’t you know Zhang Wanjing’s position in the Five Elements Sect?"

"It’s been decades since I went back."

"The current leader of the Five Elements Sect, Qin Quan, is just a figurehead. All major affairs of the sect are decided solely by Zhang Wanjing. Shi Yuntang’s Soul Changing group also obeys Zhang Wanjing’s orders. And Zhang Wanjing lives up to everyone’s expectations. After the battle of the Five Elements Sect, the sect has not only recovered in the past few decades, but also become even more vigorous. Its momentum is greater than that of the Zhonghang Sect and the Cloud Sword Sect."

"Really?"

Lin Jiang shook his head, he really didn’t know. Although the sect would send him regular updates, they wouldn’t mention these things. Lin Jiang felt even more burdened because if that was the case, this time it might be Zhang Wanjing’s intention to test Lin Jiang.

"So stay, it’ll benefit both of our families."

"I feel like I’m getting old, with not much time left. I want to travel around."

"Your father used that excuse back then, but he really didn’t have much time left. You still have at least a hundred years, don’t trick me."

"Alright."

Seeing that he couldn’t convince him, Lin Jiang didn’t say anything more.

When he returned to his residence, Lin Jiang left behind two letters and then slipped away with little hesitation. Seriously, if you say to stay, then just stay! It’s really embarrassing.

The main issue was that being a mediator was difficult. It felt like being caught in the middle, just like a hamburger. Conflicted from both sides, it’s best to run away first.

········

Pure Jade Sect

Yi Zhibai is getting married. He had a wife before and already had children and grandchildren. But he has been wandering in the Divine Kingdom for hundreds of years and his wife has already passed away. Now that he has made some money, he has the idea to marry again.

However, his new wife’s cultivation level is not very high, only at the Building Foundation Period. Many high-level cultivators’ wives have low cultivation levels because women with high levels of cultivation have a low desire for childbirth, which is difficult. They usually don’t want to delay their own cultivation path because of childbirth.

Take Chen Mingyang and Ouyang Qing from the Zhonghang Sect, for example. They have been married for hundreds of years but have not had any children. Of course, their situation is quite special. Usually, when two Nascent Soul cultivators marry, the male cultivator will take several concubines to carry on the family line.

The wedding feast was a big occasion and, of course, Lin Jiang couldn’t be absent. Lin Jiang happily brought Small Shadiao to the Pure Jade Sect and, thanks to Small Shadiao, he was given a seat at the feast.

"Brother Xiao, you really hide well. You actually have a fourth-order beast pet."

When Yi Zhibai saw Small Shadiao, he was also surprised. It’s not uncommon for cultivators to have beast pets, but it’s extremely rare for a beast pet to reach the fourth order. This is because the advancement of demonic beasts is even more difficult than that of humans, and the resources needed are enormous. Not many people have the luxury to afford it.

"It’s okay, just so-so. Where is your sister-in-law? Can she come out and say hello?"

Lin Jiang took a look at Small Shadiao, such a big eater, focused on eating.

Lin Jiang quietly kicked Small Shadiao, hey, eat a little less, leave some for him, what will he eat when you finish.

"Haha, I’ll be out in a moment, let’s have a drink first."

"Okay, now I will become an independent cultivator, relying on Brother Yi for support in the future."

"What’s wrong with you?"

"My master is forcing me to marry. I told my master that my future wife must be as beautiful as Brother Yi’s wife. If she’s not that beautiful, I won’t accept her. My master got angry and kicked me out."

"Nonsense, do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"

"Ask if your wife has a sister, let’s get even closer."

"Get lost! You deserve death for even thinking about my sister-in-law!"

Yi Zhibai got angry, and as soon as Lin Jiang opened his mouth, he knew he was talking nonsense.

Lin Jiang laughed loudly, and the people around him also started laughing. The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After a while, the bride came out, and Yi Zhibai’s taste turned out to be good.

It was just funny to see Yi Zhibai’s son with white hair paying respects to the young bride in her prime.

"Brother Yi, when you have a son in the future, remember to name him Tian Wenjing."

"·····"

"My Taoist friend is just joking, my husband’s surname is Yi."

"It was just a joke, come on, let’s have a drink."

"Xiao Yi, are you still planning to make me drink today? That’s not ethical."

"It’s okay, drink a little more, drink a little more, it will make you happy."

"I can see that you’re up to no good, young man."

Yi Zhibai immediately stopped drinking. This guy’s eyes are sneaky. He can’t get drunk, otherwise nobody will know what will happen on his wedding night.

"Brother Yi, you go give others a toast first. I’ll have a few bites of food. My greedy pet at home will finish all the dishes."

Lin Jiang burst into laughter, then he grabbed Small Shadiao from the food bowl. What a shame, he doesn’t even know how to care for his owner.

"I’m still not full."

"You, a fourth-level monster, if you want to be full, even eating everything prepared for the feast won’t be enough. That’s about right."

"So stingy, preparing such a small amount of things."

"Lower your voice, big brother. I didn’t bring much for the gift, just recouping the expenses from the meal is enough."

"How many did you bring?"

"One level three Demon Core."

"What? That’s my food!"

Small Shadiao got angry. He had worked hard to hunt demons in the Wilderness, and you actually took his Demon Core as a gift?

"You’ve eaten a lot too, so it’s worth it."

"No, I have to keep eating."

"Oh my goodness, don’t snatch it. It’s embarrassing. Don’t say you know me in the future."

"Fine, I’ll go find Third Sister. I want Third Sister to be my owner."

"Besides, I’ll break your bones with this. I want to see how much backbone you really have."

Lin Jiang became very angry and almost started a fight with a bird. The people around looked at each other in surprise. Yi Zhibai is usually very composed, how does he know someone like Sixth Brother?

At a banquet, Lin Jiang became famous in the Pure Jade Sect.

But Lin Jiang didn’t care. This was intentional on his part. He didn’t plan on wandering around the world anymore. He would stay in Yucheng City and live his life. He would wait for a hundred years before deciding anything.

Whether it’s the Five Elements Sect or the Lin family, they are both doing well. He doesn’t need to do anything. He doesn’t have any power. Lin Batian has more cunning tactics than him. He doesn’t need to do anything.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, come over here."

The banquet started to disperse, and Yi Zhibai beckoned to Lin Jiang.

"Brother Yi, what can I do for you? Do you need help?"

"You, I really want to beat you up."

"What are you talking about, Brother Yi? I’m asking if you need any help."

"I don’t want to argue with you, this is my senior brother, and my senior brother also has a special pet called Golden Feather Carving, which is already a high-quality third-tier. It probably won’t be able to reach the fourth-tier. I want to keep a breed, please help, Brother Xiao."

"As for me, this isn’t really appropriate, I’m just a person."

"Be more serious, I mean your pet."

Yi Zhibai almost got really angry, who asked for your help? Are you really able to be of any help?

"Ah, the pet, matching, breeding, got it."

"How about it, give me face, help me out."

"No problem, as brothers, I definitely won’t charge your senior brother much, just half the market price."

Lin Jiang laughed loudly, then turned back to glance at Small Shadiao, who turned pale and was ready to run away. This feast is not to be enjoyed. If you dine here, you’ll have to give up something. Now I feel like vomiting, can you handle that?
