North State, Xiaotian City
It was time for Lin Jiang to report his work again. He told Lin Batian about the business situation of the year. This year, the revenue of the business in Xuanmiao City far exceeded last year, and the net profit was about to reach two hundred million spirit stones.
The main reason for this was naturally because of Lin Dongyan, who was a sixth-level Alchemist. He brought great benefits. Not only did he work hard in alchemy like an old ox, but he also elevated Lin Jiang’s business to the ranks of major businesses in Xuanmiao City. The brand effect he brought was excellent, and the entire business was on the rise.
As long as Lin Dongyan’s level as a sixth-level Alchemist continues to improve, their business will also earn more profit.
"Alright, I understand."
"Is the head of the family worried about something?"
"Yes, on your end, the income has increased, but on the side of Xiaotian City, the income has decreased a lot. A few years ago, it was the Blood Demon Ancestor causing trouble, and now it’s that Killing Demon Su Chang."
"Hasn’t Su Chang caught him yet?"
"No, he’s even faster than the others, couldn’t catch him."
Lin Batian felt a headache. There were so many monsters and demons in North State, and each one had a way to escape. They couldn’t catch them.
"Don’t worry, dear landlord. The evil ways cannot stir up any trouble."
"Xiaotian City is safe, but the people in North State have suffered greatly from their harm. Their income has sharply decreased. I am now trapped and dare not leave. Lin Wu, do you have any way to deal with them?"
"I don’t know about the Blood Demon Ancestor, but that Su Chang seems to have a solution."
"What solution?"
"That guy is a crazy murderer. So, to find him, we need to be even crazier than him."
Lin Jiang said, using some detective thinking. A crazy killer should be reasoned with a crazy mindset. Of course, Lin Jiang could only offer ideas, he couldn’t do the actual work.
"Be even crazier? Are you saying we should eliminate all the Human Demon Tribe in North State, leaving him with no one to kill?"
"Ahem..."
Lin Jiang was shocked. Was his own father really that crazy?
"Isn’t it?"
"Master, with words like that, even weirdos would be scared. We’re just thinking this way to guess where Su Chang might go, not that he’s really that weird."
"Oh, I see. Then I’ll think about it."
Lin Batian nodded, he wasn’t that weird.
"Nothing important, I’ll go first."
"Let’s find Lin Die and Lin Ying when we have time. They haven’t come back for many years."
"The Master didn’t find them when he left Xiaotian City before?"
"She wouldn’t meet me, she’s still angry."
"Well, there’s nothing I can do then."
Lin Jiang answered firmly, saying he would not get involved and would handle his own affairs.
"Lin Wu, Lin Die and the children in the household don’t have a close relationship, but you have a good relationship with them. Just do me a favor."
"Master, as a single person, I really can’t handle these emotional issues, even if it’s a father-daughter bond."
"In that case, if you help me persuade Lin Die, I will pass on the secret arts of the four great families. Our secret arts are the best in the cultivation world, there is currently nothing surpassing us. You can choose one door, and if you also persuade Lin Ying, I will pass on another door to you. How about it?" ŕ
"Master, you are really putting me in a difficult position."
"I will pass on all four family secret arts to you, as long as you don’t teach them to others."
"Then let me give it a try."
Lin Jiang was somewhat tempted. He had always lacked high-end secret arts. They were not available outside, no matter how much money he had. The secret arts from the Five Elements Sect weren’t as powerful as those from the Lin family.
"Give it a try. Their feud is not the same as overnight grudges between father and daughter. It would be a laughingstock if it became known, don’t you think?"
"Yes, how could there be long-standing grudges between father and daughter."
Lin Jiang nodded, the current situation of the Lin family was indeed not suitable for internal fighting. Xiao Lingyue’s matter had already settled and couldn’t be changed. Lin Die and the others shouldn’t run away, but should come back and confront Xiao Lingyue.
"Alright, I will give you their location. You go and try to persuade them."
"Yes, head of the family. I will go and attend to my duties first."
Lin Jiang nodded, if he were to leave, he needed to prepare himself first.
Liang State is located west of Zhongzhou. Its history is not very long, only a few tens of thousands of years. The main reason for this is related to the direction of human development.
The power of humans originated in Zhongzhou, expanding to the south and east, creating prosperous states like Qing State and Bing State. When their expansion to the east was blocked, they turned towards the north and south. As a result, there came to be You State and North State to the north, and Yun State and Nan State to the south.
When the expansion of these states slowed down, the cultivators gradually shifted their focus westward, pioneering Liang State. The name Liang State comes from the scarcity of resources in this area.
But scarcity doesn’t mean there is none. There are still many cultivators here, coming for adventure and wealth.
In Liang State, there is a race called the Stone Spirit, they are like monsters yet not monsters. People refer to them as "Spirit". They are exceptionally powerful, especially in defense, and are a major specialty of Liang State.
In a certain place in Liang State Wilderness, there is a large gathering of stone creatures. They are extremely tall, with the shortest being about 30-40 Zhang high. They are anxiously looking at a place ahead, where dozens of giant stones are shining brightly.
At the same time, hidden within the clouds in the sky above, there is an airship. Inside the airship, there are more than ten people staring at the giant stones below.
"These are the Stone Monsters of Liang State. They cannot reproduce like humans and monsters. New Stone Monsters are born in between the heavens and the earth, formed by some peculiar stones absorbing the essence of the sun and moon."
"The shining giant stones below are the new Stone Monsters. They have yet to fully develop. Once an opportunity comes and they go through a thunder tribulation, they can become new Stone Monsters. Once they are fully formed, they will possess the strength of the Nascent Soul stage."
"The unformed Stone Monsters absorb the essence of the sun and moon. There are good things inside their bodies, whether it’s the Stone Soul or Stone Milk, they are the top-notch treasures. After we succeed, I will take 30%, and the remaining 70% will be distributed among you."
Inside the airship, one person said. He is the only Soul Changing cultivator among the more than ten people. This operation was organized by him, and Lin Die also nodded and agreed to this plan.
Soul Changing Ancestors are actually quite valuable. Aside from the prosperous Qing State and a few other states in Zhongzhou, there are only about a dozen or so in the other states, easily totaling over ten thousand people.
The people finished discussing and didn’t start right away because the Stone Monsters weren’t fully formed yet. They had to wait until the Stone Monsters were completely formed and the heavenly calamity was triggered. Only then would it be the best time to act, and the already formed Stone Monsters around them would also leave.
It wasn’t until a day later when the clouds in the sky changed color and dark clouds rolled in that the Stone Monsters below slowly retreated. Even though they were powerful, they didn’t dare to directly face the heavenly calamity.
"It’s now, let’s take action."
With a loud shout from the Soul Changing Ancestor, the people on the flying boat immediately attacked, launching more than ten powerful attacks.
"Boom!"
Over ten people focused their attacks on three giant stones, causing them to shatter instantly, losing their mysterious properties.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The formed Stone Monsters outside were filled with anger and sorrow. They couldn’t reproduce naturally, and the growth of their tribe relied entirely on luck and the blessings of the heavens. As a result, the Stone Monsters were extremely rare. These unfinished Stone Monsters had been nurtured for millions of years, but they could be destroyed in just a moment.
The enraged Stone Monsters charged forward, and the cultivators fought back with all their might. The leading Soul Changing Ancestor threw out a set of formation disks, creating a protective barrier. He shouted. Retrieve the treasures, I can only hold on for fifteen minutes.
Over ten people each had their own tasks. Two of them went forward to exterminate the unformed Stone Monsters, while the rest defended against the attacks of the formed Stone Monsters. These Stone Monsters were extremely powerful and were fiercely bombarding the formation.
"Dragon girl, let’s join forces."
Someone said to Lin Die, who was using the alias Long Yan here instead of her real name.
"Alright."
Lin Die nodded. These unformed Stone Monsters didn’t have attack abilities, but their defense was still formidable. A single Nascent Soul couldn’t break through it, so it was necessary for two people to join forces to break it.
The two simultaneously unleashed their ultimate move, once again shattering an unformed Stone Monster. Meanwhile, the formed Stone Monsters outside had already taken shape. One could see a Stone Monster over twenty zhang in size angrily hammering the formation. After only a few strikes, the formation shattered without lasting for even fifteen minutes.
"Puh"
With no protection from the formation, a Nascent Soul was immediately sent flying by a Stone Monster’s fist. The Stone Monsters didn’t need weapons; their fists were their best weapons, paired with unparalleled strength, making them formidable.
"Can’t hold on any longer, retreat."
Lin Die could tell from the battle that they were no match for them. The Nascent Soul cultivators were also fleeing one by one. Lin Die picked up a piece of broken stone and soared into the sky.
The Stone Monster kept attacking, and it had a special power to move and hurl giant rocks. Dozens of Stone Monsters used this move, causing the sky to rain down like a meteor shower, and some people were hit and fell down directly.
"Boom"
Lin Die also got hit by a stone, and her shield in front of her broke into pieces. She flew out like a shooting star.
