Yun State, Five Elents Sect
Lin Jiang spent half a month at the Five Elents Sect, accompanying Shi Yuntang on inspections of the various territories within the sect. He helped boost Shi Yuntang’s reputation.
The disciples with golden cores from the Five Elents Sect were not hard. During the battle in Qing State, the followers with golden cores didn’t fight, they were well-preserved. Dozens of disciples with golden cores stood together neatly.
Lin Jiang selected so advanced disciples with golden cores, asked Shi Yuntang to promote them, and inford them that if they remained loyal to Shi Yuntang, Lin Jiang could support them. He not only granted them new fifth-grade spiritual talismans but also gave them Life Talismans to counter the two Nascent Souls. Since Lin Jiang could not stay long in the Five Elents Sect, after a series of actions, the internal situation of the sect stabilized.
As for external matters, Lin Jiang decided not to intervene. Those vassals who wished to rebel could do so, and the Five Elents Sect would suppress them when the ti ca.
"Xiao Yi, are you really leaving?"
"The Five Elents Sect is now in the past."
"If you stay, when I die, the Five Elents Sect will be yours. Even if I recover my physical body, I won’t have a chance to achieve Tao. I’ll just live a few more years. Having a sect as support, you will live more comfortably."
"Ancestor Shi, it’s not necessary. I am just a passing visitor in the Five Elents Sect. What’s past is past."
Lin Jiang shook his head. Many people knew about his longevity. Staying in the Five Elents Sect was too obvious. If he didn’t die after thousands of years, how would others view him? It was better to hide in the Wangxian Sect or perhaps even in the Wilderness in the future.
As for the assets of the Five Elents Sect, Lin Jiang didn’t value them much. With the tactics of Small Shadiao, Lin Jiang could eventually build the Wangxian Sect into a stronger sect than the Five Elents Sect.
"Since you’ve said that, I won’t stop you anymore, but rember Xiao Yi, the door of the Five Elents Sect will always be open for you."
"Thank you, Ancestor Shi."
Lin Jiang bowed, said no more, and flew away.
Lin Jiang arrived in Qing State. The four major families of Qing State had collapsed, divided by many powerful forces. So took over personally, while others controlled the local forces of Qing State. In recent years, Qing State was in great chaos, battles big and small occurred daily, and more cultivators fell than in previous wars, almost tearing Qing State apart.
Lin Jiang didn’t care much about these conflicts, as it wasn’t his territory, and he was unfamiliar with the four major families of Qing State. He used invisibility magic and quietly arrived in the northwest of Qing State.
The northwest of Qing State used to be the hiding place of the four major families, but on the surface appeared as ordinary mountains and forests, without any spiritual veins. There used to be only so ordinary villagers living here.
Now, many low-level cultivators appeared here, with the highest not exceeding the Building Foundation Period. They were frantically excavating, trying to unearth the treasures left in the hiding place.
After the battle in Qing State, countless treasures were left here, not to ntion the Shenmu Ancestor, there were also the bodies of eight Tao Achieving cultivators inside, which ant there were at least eight spiritual treasures, as well as the storage bag of Tao Achieving. As for Void Achieving, Soul Changing, Nascent Soul, there were even more treasures. How many good things could there be?
It could be said that if an independent cultivator here found sothing, it would be enough for them to live comfortably for decades or even a lifeti, provided they could take it with them.
"A group of cannon fodders"
Lin Jiang looked at these independent cultivators, and couldn’t understand where they got the courage from. Spiritual treasures, many Soul Changing cultivators didn’t even have one. How could they obtain such treasures?
Not to ntion, there were many cultivators like Lin Jiang hiding in the shadows. Lin Jiang already knew about hundreds of them, from golden core to Soul Changing cultivators, and maybe even stronger ones that Lin Jiang hadn’t discovered yet.
According to the information Lin Jiang gathered, even the hidden places in the space fissures were eventually shattered. Soone had previously entered a certain space fragnt that happened to be a Spiritual Herb Garden. Although it wasn’t top-tier, the spiritual herbs still caused a commotion.
There were big shots who tried to refine that space fragnt and turn it into a storage space, possibly for putting live people inside. However, they temporarily failed.
Lin Jiang watched for a while, then quietly left. In a small town in Zhong State, Lin Jiang t Li Qing.
"Master."
"I entrust the matters in the northwest of Qing State to you."
"Yes, master."
"Don’t need to show off, don’t worry about ordinary things, the key is those spiritual treasures. If you can grab them, go for it. If you can’t, then keep an eye on them, and buy them when the ti cos."
Lin Jiang said that he doesn’t care about the usual treasures of the four major families, but he is very eager for those spiritual treasures. Getting a spiritual treasure can greatly increase his strength, especially Lin Batian’s Spatiotemporal Mirror, which is an incredible treasure. Lin Jiang has been longing for it for who knows how long. With the Spatiotemporal Mirror in hand, he won’t be afraid of opponents like Yang Luo.
"Yes, Master, the other junior brothers have also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"That’s great. The genius plan can continue to be implented."
"Master, if the genius plan is implented, what about the descendants of the sect disciples?"
Li Qing suggested that she doesn’t oppose Lin Jiang continuing to implent the genius disciple plan, but she must also consider the Wangxian Sect.
Wangxian Sect has been established for over a hundred years. Many of the disciples from back then have settled down and started families, with children of their own. In a normal sect, these children beco the source of new disciples.
If the genius plan continues to be implented by recruiting talented disciples from all over, what about these people? Should they be abandoned, or should their interests be considered and brought into the sect together? In the short term, it may work, but over ti, as the number of descendants grows, this approach will beco unsustainable.
This is a common problem for all major sects. If the total resources cannot grow significantly, it will inevitably lead to class rigidity and result in many talents within their territory being overlooked.
"Descendants of sect disciples, I will find a way to solve this. For now, don’t worry about it. First, send people to search for talented disciples."
Lin Jiang said. Wangxian Sect has been facing this issue for over a hundred years, it’s really quite a dilemma.
As the founding ancestor of the sect, he could control everything for now. But passing down through generations would reveal various problems.
The best way to solve this issue is to expand, gain benefits, and then support more disciples. If the expansion stops, the sect will gradually decline. This is the fate of every sect.
Hearing Lin Jiang’s words, Li Qing stopped talking. Over the years, many disciples in the sect had asked her to take in their descendants, but Li Qing had high standards and only accepted those with exceptional talents, which made many people unhappy.
Now she decided to leave this problem to Lin Jiang. After all, once you pass the problem to soone else, it becos their problem, and they will find a way to solve it.
After finishing his tasks, Lin Jiang returned to Wangxian Sect, then headed to the Wilderness to et Small Shadiao.
"Brother, you ca at the right ti. Can you teach
how to make a cake?"
"What are you up to? Planning to use a cake to trick so fairy again?"
Lin Jiang said. Fairies are also won, and they love cakes a lot. Lin Jiang knows that Small Shadiao has deceived many fairies with cakes.
"What? I am a good man, okay? I wouldn’t do that kind of thing."
"Look, there’s a cow flying in the sky."
"Where? That cow fairy dares to fly in my territory."
"You’re making up that cow."
Lin Jiang shook his head, how could he, being like that, dare to call himself a good man?
"Bro, stop joking, I’m serious."
"I rember you know how to make it. If not, we can buy it sowhere."
"None of those will work. This ti, I need to be creative. I have to make my daughter happy, it’s her birthday."
"Even the monsters celebrate birthdays?"
Lin Jiang was really surprised. Lots of humans celebrate birthdays, but do monsters celebrate too? What a strange thing!
Small Shadiao quickly explained that he had been captured by Yang Luo for a hundred years, and the friendship he had with the Peng Bird Clan’s demon god at the Demon God Temple was fading. The demon god even suspected Small Shadiao of fully joining the human race. Now he was a mber of the Demon God Temple.
But Small Shadiao and Rufu had a son and a daughter who were both very talented and had pure bloodlines. They were taken to the Demon God Temple by the Peng Bird Clan’s Demon Emperor. Small Shadiao tried his best to please his children and win their hearts in every possible way.
Following Lin Jiang, Small Shadiao also learned how to make cakes. However, Small Shadiao didn’t have much creativity and was afraid that his gift this ti wouldn’t be unique enough, so he asked for Lin Jiang’s help.
"I really admire your talent!"
After hearing this, Lin Jiang sighed. Small Shadiao was truly winning at life. He used to rely on humans, then on his wife, and now on his children. He never had to worry in his whole life. Isn’t that amazing?
