Central Land, Tianxian City
Yang Luo was leaving, and this news was shocking in the Talisman Maker community. In the past few years, the art of symbol making in Tianxian City bloomed like a hundred flowers. It wasn’t just Lin Jiang who felt it, but also other Talisman Makers.
They loved this atmosphere as well. Cultivators had a crisis of trust among each other, and not everyone was willing to share their insights and experiences with others. Yang Luo was the first to break this deadlock and became a key figure in the Talisman Maker community. If she left, it would be doubtful whether this atmosphere could be preserved.
However, there was no reason for everyone to keep Yang Luo, so they agreed to send her off together. Lin Jiang also received the invitation and agreed to attend.
Seven days later, Yang Luo and her companions left Tianxian City. She had many people with her, numbering over a hundred. During this time, Yang Luo gained some followers, estimated to be more than two hundred people. All of them were cultivators with golden cores or above, adding strength to the Holy Heavenly Sect.
There were also many people seeing them off, a large crowd with Li Cai from the Danxia Sect at the forefront. He was surrounded by Talisman Makers of at least the fourth rank.
This scene could be described as grand. If it weren’t for Yang Luo, it would be unlikely for so many Talisman Makers of the fourth rank or higher to gather in one place.
Li Cai, representing many Talisman Makers, spoke some farewell words, all polite and ceremonial.
"Friend Taoist Li, could you please elaborate?"In the end, Yang Luo smiled at Lin Jiang, who immediately felt the staring eyes of countless people.
Over the years, Yang Luo can be said to be the dream lover in the hearts of countless people. Of course, very few dare to confess their feelings because Yang Luo is truly outstanding. Most people feel a bit inferior and know that they are not worthy of Yang Luo, so they just secretly admire her.
The mindset of those who secretly admire someone is the most complicated. On one hand, they fantasize about what could happen with their goddess, but on the other hand, they feel unworthy and are afraid to do anything. They also don’t want their goddess to be involved with anyone else, unless that person can be equally impressive and make them feel inferior.
Lin Jiang smiled and walked forward, while Yang Xiong quickly set up a barrier to isolate their conversation.
"Friend Li, we are actually not enemies, right?"
"It doesn’t matter, whether enemy or friend."
"We can be friends, really."
"I don’t like friends who are too clever because I am honest and afraid of being deceived."
Lin Jiang said, emphasizing that he is an honest person. He knows he can’t compete with a woman of such high intelligence like Yang Luo. He doesn’t want to end up like Small Shadiao, being deceived and having to give away money.
"Those honest people can’t beat around the bush. To be honest, I need your life force."
"Do you want to take my life?"
"No, I don’t need your life. I know you have had opportunities and adventures, gaining life force beyond your cultivation level. If I can also obtain this opportunity, I will buy it, as there is nothing that cannot be bought, it just depends on whether the price is right. If you are willing, I can guarantee that within a hundred years, you will attain Soul Changing, within five hundred years, Void Achieving, and within a thousand years, Tao Achieving."
"If you have this ability, why do you still need my life force? Just focus on Tao Achieving, and by then you’ll have twenty thousand years of life."
"I have my reasons, but I still need your life force. And you can trust my words because my master, Sect Leader Yang Xi of the Holy Heavenly Sect, achieved Tao Achieving because of me."
"Will knowing this secret of the Holy Heavenly Sect lead to our deaths?"
Lin Jiang chuckled and said. Alright, Yang Luo’s level of awesomeness has reached a new height, she can even achieve Tao Achieving.
"If this opportunity cannot be enjoyed by me, then I will need to take a portion of your life force, twenty thousand years. The previous promise still counts, and I can provide you with countless wealth."
"Without twenty thousand years of life force, I would already be dead."
"A wise person speaks directly. Your lifespan is much more than twenty thousand, although I don’t know the exact number, but it’s definitely more. For you, it’s not very serious, right?"
"Alright, I agree. But let’s not use the word ‘transaction,’ it sounds too common. How about we find another way?"
"What way?"
"For example, if you seduce me and win my heart, what’s twenty thousand years of lifespan? I would give my whole being to you."
"Hehe."
"I’m serious. I don’t know if you’ve heard this saying before, ‘Life is valuable, but love is priceless.’ I’m a hopeless romantic. I would do anything for my lover, even break a rib to make them soup. What does a mere lifespan matter?"
"·····"
Yang Luo looked at Lin Jiang with a completely sincere expression, and for a moment, she was completely at a loss for how to respond.
After a long silence, Yang Luo finally said. What I said earlier still stands, you can think about it.
"My words are effective, you can consider it."
"Looking forward to the next meeting."
Yang Luo smiled even brighter, then Yang Xiong removed the restriction and Yang Luo turned and left.
"Oh beautiful lady, why do you act like a thief?"
Lin Jiang sighed inwardly, he sensed a strong murderous intent in Yang Luo’s smile, fleeting yet intense. At the same time, Lin Jiang himself felt a strong urge to kill.
He had kept the secret of longevity for over a thousand years, not even telling his own father, sister, or younger sister. It remained confidential. But now, someone has discovered this secret. Even though Yang Luo doesn’t know everything, it still fills him with a strong desire to kill.
"Friend Li, Friend Li, what did Yang Luo say to you, Taoist friend?"
"Friend Li, can you give us a hint, did they tell you about the latest progress in the new talisman technique?"
"Friend Li…"
The Talisman Maker from all around quickly gathered to find out what Yang Luo and Lin Jiang had said.
"This is a secret, how can we tell you?"
"Taoist Friend Li, we have been good friends for many years."
"Taoist Friend Li…"
The crowd persisted and continued to surround Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang, seeing that they wouldn’t give up, gritted his teeth and decided to tell them a cruel truth.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Really, Taoist Friend Li, please tell us."
"Alright, then I’ll tell you. Listen carefully, Yang Luo told me that she likes me and wants to marry me. She said that if I marry her, she will make me the head of the Holy Heavenly Sect. But I refused because I don’t like younger ones."
"Ah!"
"Oh"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible"
Everyone was confused, some even broke down, looking at Lin Jiang with resentment. Only Li Cai widened his eyes, he was shocked. Lin Jiang’s thick-skinned behavior surprised him, because he knew that Yang Luo had once plotted against Lin Jiang, yet he had helped her. How could these two act like this?
He wouldn’t believe it if he were beaten to death.
"Li Changsheng, bring it on"
Someone under the pressure of a breakdown yelled, wanting to confront Lin Jiang. How could his beloved goddess be so proactive towards such a declaration of love? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Taoist friend, calm down, calm down"
Someone quickly stopped him. This person was only in the early stages of Nascent Soul cultivation, while Lin Jiang had a mid-level cultivation son. It didn’t seem like they were a match in any way, so it’d be better not to embarrass oneself.
Lin Jiang didn’t pay any attention, after spreading this huge rumor, he immediately fled, and after returning home, he sealed off his formation, announcing that he was going into secluded cultivation.
Three months later, after the storm passed, Lin Jiang secretly sold his house and left Tianxian City with Small Shadiao, disguised. In the end, Lin Jiang was scared, he had no choice. Yang Luo didn’t have any intention to kill before, but that day Lin Jiang made a big mistake and now Yang Luo was full of anger.
He didn’t want to take risks, bravado was just talk. When it came to his own life, Lin Jiang would definitely prioritize his own safety. This was consistent with his usual principle – self-preservation was the essence of Guozhi Emperor.
"Dad, where are we going in the future?"
On the way, Small Shadiao asked. Are you really determined to achieve Void? Ha, those are just empty boasts. You’re wrong if you believe them.
"Where do you want to go?"
"I don’t know either. All I know is that I’m tired of running around like this. We run for Qi Refining, then Building Foundation, then Golden Core, and now we are still running for Nascent Soul. I am getting fed up. I still want to see those little brats grow up."
"Yeah, we’ve been struggling for over a thousand years. When will we rise up?"
"If we want to rise up, we have to rely on you, Dad. As for me, I don’t want to anymore. This is how my life is going to be."
"If you don’t have any ambition, how can you break through the fifth stage, sixth stage, or seventh stage, and then take me as your little brother and protect me?"
"I am your special creature pet. Why don’t you strive for Soul Changing, Void Achieving, and Tao Achieving?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"I have always tried very hard, you know."
Lin Jiang said. For over a thousand years, I have never stopped progressing. Sometimes I take a break, but I truly haven’t stopped. Even if I practice for only four hours a day, who can maintain it for a thousand years?
"I won’t argue with you anymore, Dad. Let’s find a place to settle down. It’s not good to keep drifting around."
"How about Moon City?"
"Moon City?"
Yes, Moon City from the Spiritual Moon Sect. To tell you the truth, I am a bit afraid of Yang Luo. I don’t know how she discovered my secret. But Yang Luo has developed murderous intent towards me, so I can’t let her go.
There is a great conflict between the Holy Heavenly Sect and the Spiritual Moon Sect. The rise of the Holy Heavenly Sect greatly affects the interests of the Spiritual Moon Sect. They have had significant friction. Let’s go to Moon City and stir up trouble. Even if we can’t kill Yang Luo, we should give her some trouble."
Lin Jiang said. The conflict between the Spiritual Moon Sect and the Holy Heavenly Sect is not a secret. Lin Jiang suspects that Yang Luo has become famous in Tianxian City to lay the groundwork for their conflict. That’s why Lin Jiang has decided to go to Moon City and cause some trouble for Yang Luo.
If Lin Jiang couldn’t kill Yang Luo, he would have to find a place to hide and wait for Yang Luo to die. As long as Yang Luo doesn’t become immortal, he will outlast her and she will definitely die first.
It would be best if they could design a way to kill Yang Luo and avoid all the trouble. But Lin Jiang knows that this is unlikely, considering that Yang Luo has the Holy Heavenly Sect backing her.
