Besides the spirit field and medicine garden, Zhao Lei also saw many gentle Exotic Beasts, penned on the Immortal Mountain, flocking together, large and plump. He could not tell if they were being used as livestock for the Lin Family or for some other purpose.
Zhao Lei was then taken to a grand hall at the mountaintop of Immortal Mountain.
"Zhao Lei pays respects to the Patriarch."
Seeing the unassuming elder before him, Zhao Lei’s expression changed, and he hurriedly bent over and knelt. freewebnøvel_com
The elder appeared ordinary, but Zhao Lei was well aware that the Patriarch of the Lin Family possessed unfathomable strength.
Even a Martial Arts Innate could only bow before him.
One could understand this from the lean middle-aged man clad in a black servant robe, constantly bowed over, head lowered in service behind the elder.
Innate!
Martial Arts Innate!
This lean middle-aged man was evidently a powerful Martial Arts Innate expert.
*Although he had not witnessed what a true Innate Realm expert looked like, a slight sense confirmed it in his heart, that the other was indeed a master of the Innate Realm.*
*Yet, even a Martial Arts Innate, facing this elder, displayed such reverence,* how could he dare to look directly at him?
"Rise." The elder waved his hand slightly and said, "I have seen the letter from your Gang Leader. Let me ask you, are you certain the Di Family personally made their move?"
"Dare not conceal from the Patriarch, I am very certain the Di Family indeed sent someone into Wujiang County.
At first, they merely dispatched their servants, but before I came here, it was already discovered that someone from the Di Family, practicing Immortal Cultivation Method, entered Wujiang County.
Moreover, from the mouths of the Di Family’s servants, we learned that their true purpose this time was indeed our Sunburst Gang.
They aim to seize control of Wujiang County, to obtain more resources.
If the Sunburst Gang were extinguished, then the five-tenths of Honored Elder possessed by the Sunburst Gang would..." Zhao Lei hurriedly affirmed.
"Alright, I understand.
It seems my Lin Family has been dormant for too long, long enough for many to forget our might.
Wait here for now, I will be back shortly."
The Lin Family Patriarch, with an aura of authority without anger, glanced lightly at Zhao Lei, aware of his cautious thoughts but said no more. With a flip of the hand, an item resembling Jade Ruyi appeared in his hand.
With a gentle toss, Jade Ruyi expanded rapidly.
Then, he leaped up, landing directly on Jade Ruyi.
Swiftly, Jade Ruyi shot out like a bolt of light, disappearing into the sky.
"Elder... this..."
Zhao Lei stood dumbfounded, staring at the scene, in utter shock.
*Walking on air, flying through the sky...*
*Such methods only belong to the Immortal Family.*
"Since the Patriarch instructed you to wait, just rest assured and wait,"
the lean middle-aged man’s voice said calmly.
"Yes!"
Zhao Lei nodded repeatedly, yet couldn’t help but scrutinize this Martial Arts Innate, feeling as if ants crawled within his heart, unbearably itchy.
*After enduring for a long time, he could no longer suppress himself, asking* "Senior, you should be a Martial Arts Innate, right?
*Why... why is it that you still...*" he asked, beginning to stammer.*
*After all, it was indeed somewhat abrupt for him to question this time.*
"You want to ask, why would I, an Innate, willingly serve as a servant in the Lin Family?"
After casting a faint glance at Zhao Lei, the middle-aged man smiled scornfully and said, "You think a martial artist breaking through to Innate is simple?"
"Martial Arts cultivation reaching first-class expert, breaking through to Innate has two paths.
One is through one’s own efforts, and this path, not to mention, is extremely difficult requiring talent, opportunity, enlightenment, adventure... all exceedingly challenging.
The other is by taking a pill capable of breakthrough, the Innate Pill.
The value of the Innate Pill is beyond ordinary comprehension. Currently, only significant forces like the Lin Family can own it.
To obtain the Innate Pill, naturally one must pay the price.
For us martial artists, the only choice is to sell ourselves.
Fifty years of freedom, in exchange for achieving Innate.
Whether it’s worthwhile, is up to personal perception.
Here, I offer you a suggestion: when you find yourself stalled at the first-class expert stage, consider joining some major forces.
Perhaps, it’s an opportunity."
Saying this, the middle-aged man ignored Zhao Lei, patiently waiting on the side.
*Zhao Lei’s gaze flickered, but his heart was far from calm as his face showed.*
*Fifty years of freedom, in exchange for achieving Innate? Worth it or not?*
*He didn’t know.*
*If he were still just a third-class expert, he would have chosen without hesitation. But now, having initially encountered good fortune at a time when he was filled with ambition, naturally, he felt resistant.*
Half an hour later, a gust of wind whistled, and soon the Patriarch of the Lin Family returned swiftly from afar, descending in the hall.
"Go back now, and tell your Gang Leader.
The Di Family will no longer send anyone into Wujiang County, and correspondingly, our Lin Family will not send aid to your gang.
Whether or not you can completely control Wujiang County depends solely on your own power."
With this said, the Patriarch of the Lin Family waved and departed.
Later on, a Lin Family servant, who was previously seen as a second-class expert, escorted Zhao Lei down from the Lin Family Immortal Mountain.
...
"Soul Energy, 25,756."
Back at home, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but glance at his Soul Energy count.
"Twenty-five thousand points of Soul Energy. It was no longer enough to add the slightest bit to my strength.
The peak of a third-class expert needed to break through to second-class expert realm, which required clearing one of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
But just to clear one of the meridians needed a full thirty thousand points of Soul Energy.
Twenty-five thousand was indeed a bit lacking."
Bai Ziyue pondered in his heart and slowly shook his head.
Next, his gaze shifted, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"The reason the Di Family and members of the Nine Seals Sect were present in Mist Valley could be explained by Ji Fengniang’s tip-off, but why did the Sunburst Gang’s Grand Elder and his team appear?
Could it be that they were drawn by the Di Family?"
Thinking about how he happened to encounter the Sunburst Gang team as he was about to leave the valley, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
However, on further thought, considering the Sunburst Gang was the largest gang in the area, their influence covered virtually every corner.
It’s only natural they paid close attention to the Nine Seals Sect too—several Hall Masters and Elder-level members disappearing without explanation would certainly draw their interest.
The tracking could indeed be justified.
"But now, with the entanglement of the three forces, it was really unpredictable to say what would happen in Cloud Mist Valley."
Thinking of this, he was relieved at his timely escape but couldn’t help but sigh.
What a pity about the fur and blood of those demon beasts; they were top-tier materials for making Transformation Talismans, yet now he had no idea which force they might benefit.
However, no matter which force it was, he felt that the most unfortunate one would be Old Scrooge Zhou, Zhou Licheng.
With his strength, he definitely couldn’t contend for the spiritual land.
It was uncertain if he could even keep his own life.
"Nevertheless, no matter what, my strength had significantly improved due to this operation.
Peak of third-class expert, seventh layer of Qi Refinement Stage.
At least within Wujiang County, there were not many who could surpass me.
Now, finally, I had somewhat attained the power to protect myself."
In an instant, Bai Ziyue thought about his level of strength.
Though described as the peak of a third-class expert, his combat power was definitely not weaker than a second-class expert; coupled with his Immortal Technique, he could even challenge first-class experts.
*Inside, he was indeed full of confidence.*
As his thoughts unfolded, Bai Ziyue’s spirit gradually calmed down.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the storage bag.
Beneath it all, he was indeed very eager, wanting to quickly eliminate the Sealing Power on the storage bag to use it normally.
Guided by Spiritual Power, the Spiritual Energy within him gradually surged, transforming into waves that directly rushed towards the storage bag.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Half an hour later.
All of Bai Ziyue’s thirty thousand strands of Spiritual Energy were depleted, though he felt the Sealing Power on the storage bag loosen slightly.
But he knew, it would still take a while to truly unlock the seal.
Three to five days, even ten days to a half month weren’t impossible.
What it required was precisely the persistence in grinding.
His Spiritual Energy exhausted, he sat cross-legged, gradually recovering.
Once the Spiritual Energy within him was restored to perfection, he began the eradication again, repeatedly.
Suddenly, he froze, a hint of an unusual expression appeared on his face as he looked at the table nearby.
On the table lay a round disc.
It was the Communication Disc that he had obtained from the independent cultivator elder, Elder Wu.
At this moment, the disc was emitting a faint glow, simultaneously accompanied by a vigorous vibrating sound.
"Elder Wu’s still alive? To answer or not?"
Bai Ziyue’s face showed a bit of hesitation.
He wasn’t too surprised about the independent cultivator elder being able to escape.
After all, the elder had cultivated the Immortal Dao for over a hundred years, reaching the ninth layer of Qi Refinement Stage in strength.
*Even if the Di Family cultivator at the ninth layer took action, they might win, but if Elder Wu sought to escape with all his heart, they truly couldn’t stop him.*
After some thought, Bai Ziyue still controlled his Spiritual Energy to turn slightly on the Communication Disc, connecting it.
Underneath it all, he genuinely wanted to know what the situation was in Mist Valley.
Elder Wu would definitely know more than he did.
"Is it Elder Wu?"
Bai Ziyue feigned a slightly hesitant tone and asked.
"I knew that with fellow Daoist Bai’s capabilities, you would surely be able to escape from this upheaval.
It seems my prediction was correct."
A somewhat rich voice subsequently sounded from the other side.
The speaker was indeed the independent cultivator elder, Elder Wu.
