Shenmu City, a city in the central region.

"It’s not easy, it’s really not easy. I’ve been four hundred years old, and I finally reached the mid-stage of the golden core."

Lin Jiang woke up from his seclusion and felt extremely amazed. This time, it was several consecutive years of seclusion, and he finally elevated his cultivation to the mid-stage of the golden core.

This progress is really slow, and Lin Jiang also analyzed the reason for his slow cultivation. Spiritual Root cannot be changed, but with the Five Spirit Manual, he can reach the level of an ordinary person. As for his aptitude, after being baptized with the Plastic Bone Pill, it has also reached a moderate level. The reason why his cultivation speed is still not improving, Lin Jiang thinks it might be because of his lack of comprehension.

Comprehension is also very important in cultivation. If one’s aptitude and understanding of techniques cannot keep up, then the speed of progress will be slow.

"Saying that I have a low aptitude means I’m stupid. I won’t admit it, hehe."

Lin Jiang frowned and quickly dismissed this inference, whether it was self-deception or not. He didn’t care if his cultivation speed was slower, as he had plenty of lifespan.

After coming out of seclusion and pushing open the door, Small Shadiao saw that the sky while standing with folded hands. These past few years had been really tough for him, suffering from severe exploitation. He was always moping around, and even if he didn’t, what could he do with such a meager salary and never-ending debts?

"I’m looking at the stars."

"Stars? Could you be Sun Liancheng?"

"Who is Sun Liancheng?"

"Oh, nothing. Why are you looking at stars in broad daylight?"

"What can I do? You tell me, can’t you just be a good person?"

"Haha, don’t be angry. Today I am very happy. I will reduce half of your debt. How about that?"

Lin Jiang laughed loudly, and Small Shadiao rolled their eyes in response. He had already repaid his debts ten times over, but it was all because some dishonest merchant had intentionally deceived him.

"Alright, stop looking so down. I’ll give you a bottle of Beast Spirit Pill, how about that?"

"Two bottles, don’t think I don’t know. Your Beast Spirit Pills are all made by Lin Dongyan, and the price is two-thirds cheaper than buying them outside."

"Haha, sure, two bottles it is. After all, I am your dad."

Lin Jiang laughed and said. Beast Spirit Pills are just too expensive. He had to find a way to obtain the recipe and give it to Lin Dongyan for him to make. Lin Dongyan did make them successfully, but he was too busy to make a lot.

After playing around with Small Shadiao for a while, Lin Jiang went to Fengyun Trading Company. The business of Fengyun Trading Company had become increasingly prosperous over the years, and their profits were rising. This was all thanks to the improvement in Lin Cunjian’s cultivation.

Lin Cunjian and his friends were the elite of the Lin family. Their cultivation aptitude was excellent, and their progress in cultivation had been rapid in recent years. They already had five people in the Golden Core Period, and Lin Cunjian’s cultivation was even higher, as he had reached the late stage of the Golden Core Period.

"Tenth Auntie, you’re still here."

Lin Jiang saw Lin Ying at the store. Lin Ying was here before he went into seclusion, and he didn’t expect her to still be here after he came out.

"Why, are you driving me away?"

"How can I dare? I’m just showing some concern for Tenth Auntie."

"If you truly care about me, use your scheming tricks to drive away the person with the surname Xiao."

Lin Ying glanced at Lin Jiang. She knew that Lin Jiang had a lot of scheming tricks. If he was willing to take action, he would definitely be able to drive away Xiao Lingyue.

"Tenth Auntie, she is the wife of the head of the family. I wouldn’t dare to do anything inappropriate, the head would kill me with a single sword strike."

"Don’t be afraid, with me here, my father wouldn’t kill you."

"Then should Tenth Auntie kill Xiao Lingyue herself?"

"You…"

Lin Ying was extremely angry. Xiao Lingyue had a higher level of Soul Changing cultivation than her, so she couldn’t defeat her. If she could, she would have already attacked. Do we really need you to tell us?

"Tenth Auntie, don’t worry. Xiao Lingyue is an outsider in the Lin family. She can’t create any trouble."

"Hmph, go away. I don’t want to see you anymore."

"Yes, let’s go."

Lin Jiang hurriedly ran off to find Lin Cunjian and the others. After checking their accounts, he couldn’t trust them anymore. These guys had previously incited Small Shadiao to cheat him out of his money, causing him to lose trust in them.

"Not bad. The pure profit of the past two years has exceeded three hundred thousand spirit stones."

Lin Jiang looked at the accounts and expressed satisfaction. The profits from legitimate businesses were usually low, but the advantage was in their longevity. Accumulating around three hundred thousand in profits annually for ten or a hundred years would be quite substantial.

"Uncle, this amount of money is really not enough for anything."

"What’s on your mind?"

"There are many problems at home right now. The Third Ancestor and Tenth Ancestor are both looking for opportunities to break through Soul Changing. And the ten plus of us, who are at the later stage of golden core and peak, are also in urgent need of infant treasure. Sigh."

"Don’t count on buying these things. What you can’t buy, think about having the clan leader plan for you."

Lin Jiang said that he had known about this matter for a long time. The infant treasure that Lin Die and Lin Ying used was given by Lin Batian, probably brought from the Lin family. But it has already been used up.

Now both Lin Die and Lin Ying need to break through Soul Changing and need treasure. These treasures cannot be bought on the market. Not to mention Soul Changing Treasure, even Nascent Soul treasure is the same.

"Although that’s true, the Lin family has actually had a hard time these years. Our salaries haven’t been paid for two years."

Lin Cunjian said that they were in Shenmu City and not only relied on the income given by Lin Jiang. The Lin family had its own subsidy, but it hasn’t been paid for two years now.

He knew why it wasn’t paid. It was related to Lin Batian’ strategy. Lin Batian was still supporting the remnants of the original Qing State’s four major sects, making them clash with the four major families, consuming a large amount of resources. At the same time, due to multiple relocations, the Lin family’s financial sources were very unstable, their income sharply decreased, and they were becoming increasingly poor.

"So, what do you think?"

"Let’s go to Wilderness, it’s always an adventure."

"Wilderness is very dangerous."

"Everywhere is dangerous, but let’s take a chance. I’m not young anymore, and it’s better to settle down early."

Lin Cunjian said. Before this, I was being supported and protected by my family. But now, I have to make it on my own.

"Alright, alright, if you want to go, I won’t stop you. When you take action, consider the ten years’ salary from the family account as a little token of your uncle’s affection."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"Do other people also have this idea?"

"Quite a few. Life in Shenmu City is too comfortable, and it’s not suitable for us cultivators. If we stay comfortable for too long, we might lose our fighting spirit."

"Are you saying that getting married and having children will make us lose our fighting spirit?"

"It is our duty as members of the Lin family to expand and prosper. Now, I have fulfilled this duty and it is time for me to plan for myself."

"Alright."

"Uncle also needs to contribute."

"As a humble person, I dare not enter the bustling city, and with a simple and pure heart, I dare not miss out on a good opportunity."

Lin Jiang shook his head and remained silent. Without the help of his system, which was like having a supportive family, he could only keep this secret to himself.

Lin Cunjian and the others were very efficient. In less than two months, they bid farewell to Lin Jiang and set off to explore different places in search of opportunities. As a gesture of support, Lin Jiang gave them ten years’ worth of salary.

Lin Ying was also very supportive of this decision. The resources brought by Lin Batian from the Lin family had been exhausted, and the Lin family couldn’t provide them with higher-level treasures. They had to rely on themselves from now on.

Lin Die was also determined and knew that she was no match for Xiao Lingyue in palace struggles. She decided to go to the Wilderness in search of opportunities. She was determined to break through Soul Changing and drive away Xiao Lingyue. Soon after, Lin Ying also left.

"They have all left, let’s go."

Lin Jiang sighed and said. With half of the Lin family’s descendants gone, Shenmu City will return to its calm and ordinary life.

"Practice diligently, and a bright future awaits."

Lin Jiang became more diligent, spending more time practicing. He knew that there were many battles waiting for him in the future, and he didn’t want to be just a bystander. He wanted to contribute to those around him.
