Cultivation: Being Immortal

Bing State

"Brother, this is the genius you found, huh?"

In the clouds, Small Shadiao said to Lin Jiang. Below, there is a large group of young boys and girls practicing swordsmanship, it looks quite beautiful.

"Hmm, I brought him here. What do you think?"

"The appearance is quite good, but I don’t know if they are strong when it comes to fighting."

"They haven’t reached the point of training them to kill yet. That’s also why I came to look for you. Is there still contact with the previous intelligence organization?"

"No, but it’s still possible to find people."

"You try to contact them first. When the first batch of people advance to the Building Foundation Period, arrange for them to become assassins."

"There is no problem with the situation, but there is one question, bro. Aren’t you afraid of backlash?"

Lin Jiang said, after years of brainwashing, it can eliminate the possibility of most people rebelling. As for a few individuals, Lin Jiang couldn’t eliminate them, no matter what means he used.

Even if you treat them as your own sons, there are still only a few cases of patricide in the cultivation world every year. So Lin Jiang can never make them 100% loyal.

Lin Jiang has another way to control them. A vital aspect is Small Shadiao. As long as Lin Jiang has the ability to continuously provide them with resources, it can avoid some rebellion issues and minimize the possibility of backlash.

"Okay, but brother still needs to be careful."

"I know, bring more things from Wilderness. I have a large expenditure now, and the third group of disciples is coming soon."

"The third group? Brother, where did you get so many talented people from? I see that these people are all very powerful."

"The cultivation world has never lacked talented individuals, they are just wasted by others."

Lin Jiang said that the group of Qi Refining independent cultivators who work for him have already gained experience and specifically go to ancient sects or family territories with long legacies.

These forces have been passed down for a long time, and they are highly competitive. They control most of the cultivation paths and don’t recruit disciples from the outside world. Even weak vassals are unable to enter their forces to cultivate, let alone ordinary people.

Perhaps some people may feel regretful that so many geniuses are being wasted, but from the perspective of those who have gained benefits, whether someone is a genius or not is irrelevant to them. As long as they are not part of their group, they cannot access their resources.

It is because of this situation that countless geniuses are buried in the mortal realm or become independent cultivators. Now, this group of people has discovered this pattern and their efficiency has greatly improved. Even their disciples are all Single Spiritual Root geniuses. In the past, they wouldn’t even dare to dream of this.

"It’s still better for our demon clan. Those with strong bloodlines are definitely experts, and this kind of situation would never happen."

Little Shadiao said. The Yao clan and the human clan are different. The upper limit depends on bloodline. If the bloodline is good, their ancestors must be skilled. ℞á𝐍ŎΒËS

"Let’s hurry and secure the next set of resources. I’m under a lot of pressure here."

Lin Jiang said. Taking care of hundreds of people is not easy, especially as their cultivation level increases. The expenses become even greater, including my own expenses.

"There’s no problem with the resources, but the elders of the Demon God Temple have also made a request to you."

"What request?"

"The inheritance of Pills, Talismans, Items, and Formations, including the latest talisman array refining method created by Yang Luo, and information about the experts from various sects in the cultivation world."

"What does the Yao clan want to do?"

Lin Jiang became a little wary. The actions of the Yao clan seemed suspicious.

"Self-preservation. The Yao clan wants to protect themselves."

"Is it just for self-defense?"

"Of course, brother, you don’t think the demon race still has the power to invade the human race, do you?"

"None?"

"Of course not, ever since the Green Emperor defeated the Demon Emperor, the demon race no longer has a true Demon Emperor. Many demons now call themselves Demon Emperors, but they don’t have the ability to unite the demon race. Even the Demon God Temple is controlled by the elders, without a Demon Emperor to subdue other demons. Without unity, how can the demon race invade the human race?"

"Small Shadiao, look into my eyes."

Lin Jiang made Small Shadiao lift his head, and Small Shadiao met Lin Jiang’s gaze.

"Small Shadiao, I hope what you’re saying is true. If the demon race is only fighting to defend themselves, then I can do this. But if the demon race wants to invade the human race, then I must stand on the side of the humans because I am also a member of the human race. Of course, I hope for peace in the world."

"Brother, do you still remember the concept of human race’s destiny?"

"I do, why?"

"The monster clan also believes in this."

Small Shadiao said, there is a saying among the human clan about fortune, it is said that the heavens favor the human clan. Every once in a while, the human clan will welcome a glorious era, which is a time when the human clan’s fortune soars. In this era, numerous geniuses will emerge among the human clan, and there will be countless amazing individuals who will elevate the status of the human clan.

The recognized two glorious eras of the human clan are the era of the Thunder Emperor and the era of the Green Emperor. The Thunder Emperor struck down the power of the monster clan and secured a place for the human clan to survive. The Green Emperor broke the backbone of the monster clan. Not only did he kill the Demon Emperor at that time, but he also killed numerous divine beasts, causing the monster clan to remain unable to recover till this day.

And now, there are signs that the human clan is on the verge of another glorious era. The elders of the Demon God Temple believe that Yang Luo has the potential to become a figure like the Green Emperor, because Yang Luo’s performance is extraordinary. He excels in Pills, Talismans, Items, and Formations, and his speed of cultivation is extremely fast. He is just like the Green Emperor at that time.

The elders of the Demon God Temple are already afraid, so they want to gather the most complete information about the human clan. They want to protect themselves because every time it’s a glorious era for the human clan, it is a dark era for the monster clan.

"So, you’re saying that it’s actually quite possible. Yang Luo is indeed behaving remarkably."

"Then, what does big brother think we should do?"

"I will give you the information, but I also want benefits. Try your best to help me gain benefits."

Lin Jiang nodded. The monster clan is very weak in terms of Pills, Talismans, Items, and Formations because monsters need to reach the fourth stage and be able to take on a human form to have complete intelligence like the human clan.

And these skills, Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation, also need an industrial chain in order to be powerful. Each level needs a large number of talented people. How many demonic beings above the fourth rank are there?

If a real fight breaks out, the consumption is huge. How many can be refined relying on those few skilled demonic beings?

········

In two years, Holy Heavenly Sect auctioned nearly ten talisman arrays, but they were all taken by major sects. However, the major sects failed to crack the secret and replicate a talisman array.

However, on the battlefield in Yun State, the forces of Yun State unleashed multiple talisman arrays. In the span of two years, two Void Achieving and four Soul Changing experts of Qing State were severely injured, and nine Nascent Soul experts fell. Below Nascent Soul, there were countless casualties. Qing State could no longer maintain the blockade on Yun State. The fortresses outside Yun State were abandoned, and Qing State shifted from offense to defense.

"Finally retreated."

When high-ranking members of Yun State, Heavenly Wall, Lin Batian, and others saw that the forces of Qing State had disappeared without a trace, they were all very happy.

"Finally, our Yun State sect can leave Yun State."

The high-ranking members of Five Elements Sect were also in the same situation. They couldn’t go out due to Qing State blocking them, but now the situation has changed. They have taken the initiative and can communicate with sects from other states, no longer limited to just one place. This is very beneficial for their sects.

"Father, should we enter Qing State by following the trend?"

Lin Ying said to Lin Batian, after a thousand years of war, the Lin family doesn’t know how many have died. The hatred towards Qing State has grown even stronger, wishing to immediately go and kill in Qing State.

"We’re not going."

"Why? We should follow up with the victory."

"Let’s discuss it later. I’ve received a message from Shenmu Ancestor, Yang Luo has ill intentions. I need to advance to Tao Achieving before making any decisions."

Lin Batian said, Yang Luo underestimates the relationship between Shenmu Ancestor and him. Lin Batian and Shenmu Ancestor have a good relationship, and with Li Yuncheng accompanying Shenmu Ancestor in Shenmu Sect for over a hundred years, Shenmu Ancestor informed Lin Batian of the news firsthand.

"Yang Luo, Father, that person’s words revealed that I should not trust Yang Luo."

"That person, is it from Min Mountain?"

"Yes."

Lin Ying said that she and Lin Jiang had traded several times. Afterwards, they would chat for a while. Sometimes, Lin Jiang would unintentionally reveal that Yang Luo had big ambitions and was very cunning.

"Did they find out about his background?"

"His identity is very suspicious. Qiao Fan indeed had stayed in the Divine Kingdom for many years, and he also had children, but all of his children are accounted for and there is no mention of any illegitimate child."

"It seems like someone is pretending to be Qiao Fan. Let’s narrow it down. There were not many cultivators who wandered in the Divine Kingdom before. We need to find out the other person’s background as soon as possible, and also see how they established themselves among the Wilderness demons. If we can replace them, we should act quickly."

Lin Batian said that this time they would be able to break the blockade of Qing State. The resources in Wilderness played a big role. Yang Luo didn’t lack spirit stones, but she lacked various high-level resources. The benefits here already made Lin Batian jealous.@@novelbin@@
