Chapter 76 Old Friends Remain The Same
"You are... Lin Sheng!"
An Quan's face was filled with shock. Although he knew that Lin Sheng was still alive, there was no news about this man who had been missing for seven years, and now he suddenly appeared.
The two brothers of the He family were also shocked, especially when they felt the fluctuation of Lin Sheng's Qi Refining Late Stage peak mana, they were extremely horrified.
"Three Fellow Daoists, we haven't seen each other for many years, but they still look amazing."
The corners of Lin Sheng's mouth raised, revealing a bright smile.
. . .
In the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, Lin Zhi was looking down at the account books. Standing next to her were three Lin family disciples who looked uneasy.
"Who handled the transactions of Guyuan Pill and Jusha Pill?" Lin Zhi looked at the account book in her hand with a calm voice.
"Sister Lin Zhi, I handled these two transactions." One of the teenagers raised his hand, looking panicked.
"Oh, then can you tell me why the price of these two elixirs is one Low Grade spirit stone cheaper than before."
"This." The young man's face turned pale and he was a little at a loss.
"Did you keep this spirit stone yourself?" Lin Zhi's voice became colder.
"I.."
"Hehehe, he must have put it away!"
Joking sounds came from the door.
"Who are you..."
Lin Zhi frowned slightly and looked at the door, but she could no longer say the words that came to her lips.
"Zhi'er, I haven't seen you for many years, have you ever thought about your godfather?" Lin Sheng walked into the Spirit Medicine Pavilion with a smile on his face.
"five.."
"Huh?" Lin Sheng frowned slightly.
"Godfather, you are finally back." Lin Zhi blushed and lowered her head, quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Yes, that's right." Lin Sheng looked satisfied, his eyes swept over the three Lin family disciples, and finally rested on the young man.
"Just take it, it's no big deal. We, the Lin family, dare to do what we do. If we dare to take something from our own store today, we will dare to take someone else's tomorrow, don't you think so?"
"You...you are the fifth brother! Are you alive again? The fifth brother is alive! Someone come quickly! The fifth brother is alive!"
The young man's face looked like he had seen a ghost. He turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran.
This scene caught Lin Sheng off guard, and he looked at Lin Zhi with confusion on his face: "What's going on? Everyone in the Lin family says I'm dead?"
"Well, Uncle Six arranged it this way."
. . .
Looking at the coffin on the altar, Lin Sheng's face trembled slightly, and after sighing deeply, he offered himself a stick of incense.
“How does it feel to perfume yourself?”
On the wooden chair, Lin Xing put down his tea cup with a smile on his face.
"It's not bad, I really thought I was dead for a moment." Lin Sheng grinned, sat on the wooden chair, took a sip of tea.
"Hey, Lingcha, it seems that the Lin family has become richer in the past seven years."
"Hahaha." Lin Xingzheng chuckled; "With your reputation, our Lin family now dominates Qinghe County and City, and our income is naturally higher."
"Cough cough cough."
Lin Sheng, who was drinking tea, choked and quickly put down his teacup.
"Uncle Six, stop joking, what kind of reputation can I have?"
"You saved someone who even though so many disciples in the alliance could not save, do you think you have a reputation?" Lin Xingzheng said with a mocking look on his face.
"There are rumors outside that our Lin family is about to climb the high branches of the Qingzhan Sect. People who come to get married every day are almost trampling the threshold of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion. In desperation, I can only tell the outside world that you are dead."
"Zhanqing Sect? What do you mean? Why can't I understand?" Lin Sheng frowned slightly and was confused.
"Do you know the "Qing Refining Technique" of the Zhanqing Sect? "
"Know a thing or two."
"If you want to make love, you must talk about it first. Ning Lingyu was saved by you. Did anything happen between you two?" Lin Xingzheng said with a curious look on his face.
"Ning Lingyu? Is that Senior Sister Ning?" Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
"Nothing happened. I was tricked by her. If it weren't for the blessing of heaven, I would have died in the ancient treasure."
Lin Sheng didn't feel too angry when he said this. The teleportation stone mill was left by Ning Lingyu after all, so he didn't get the job done and got some opportunities.
Lin Xingzheng frowned when he heard this. The situation seemed to be different from what was reported outside. He stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "Is it possible for you and Ning Lingyu to form a Taoist couple?"
"It's impossible!" Lin Sheng said resolutely, going to use it as training material for others. Anyone who likes to do this kind of thing can do it.
"That's... okay." Lin Xingzheng sighed quietly, with a look of regret on his face.
"Does Uncle Six think that I want to imitate Li Dongqing and become a Fellow Daoist with Na Ning Lingyu? Get the protection of the Zhanqing Sect?"
"That's what I thought when the news first came out."
Lin Sheng looked depressed and said: "Sixth Uncle looks down on me? Is this all I pursue?"
Lin Xing looked embarrassed, picked up the tea and drank it: "Hey, this tea is really good."
Lin Sheng smiled dumbly when he saw this, and then changed the subject and said: "Why is our Lin family dominant in this city in Qinghe County now? Can other families be willing? Can the Li family be willing?"
When talking about business, Lin Xing's face turned solemn: "Now the Li family has all returned to the clan, and the business outside has been divided equally among the major families."
"Because you saved Ning Lingyu, there was a misunderstanding during the news, and Qinghe County was handed over to our Lin family."
Lin Sheng chuckled softly: "Haha, the Li family returned to the clan, but they failed to save anyone. Mengxia ancestor will not protect the Li family?"
"It doesn't count if you don't protect them." Lin Xing shook his head with a straight face; "The Li family voluntarily gave up all their businesses except the Li family's Baofang City. Later, Patriarch Mengxia came forward as a guarantee to trap and kill the disciples of the major families. That’s it.”
"It's a good move to retreat instead of advance, and let the big families compete for the cake. Then no one will have the energy to take care of the Li family anymore."
Lin Sheng said with emotion on his face: "I just can't figure out why the Li family is doing this."
"It's just a matter of spending more time. The younger generation of the Li family hasn't grown up yet, and Li Dongqing doesn't have much time left." Lin Xingzheng said calmly.
"Even if this doesn't happen, after Li Dongqing dies, the Li family will not be able to hold on to these profit cakes and will still withdraw. They will simply take advantage of it."
"While Patriarch Mengxia still protects them, the Alliance can do nothing to the Li family. As long as it can survive until someone succeeds in Foundation Building, it will eventually get the cake back."
Lin Sheng showed disdain: "To put it bluntly, the problem lies with Ancestor Mengxia. No one dares to go to Ancestor Mengxia to ask for an explanation."
Lin Xingzheng said with a smile but not a smile: "It's just the death of some disciples, it's not a serious injury. If we really want to go to the Gold Core ancestor to ask for an explanation, there are two opinions on whether the family can still exist."
"It can be seen that the Immortal Cultivation World only talks about fists and not about right and wrong." Lin Sheng's face was solemn, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
"Hahaha, your fists are quite big now, Qi Refining Late Stage peak, and Qi Refining Dzogchen Monster bodyguard." Lin Xingzheng said with curiosity on his face.
"You have been missing for seven years, and you have had many opportunities in ancient treasures, right? Where is your big toad? Take it out and show it to me. Rumor has it that that toad is quite powerful."
'mighty? ’
Lin Sheng couldn't help but picture the arrogant look on the Spirit Fire Toad's face. He shook his head and took out the Spirit Beast bag.
"There's no chance. It's just a matter of being trapped in one place and practicing. As for the Spirit Fire Toad, it has nothing to do with might."
A group of figures jumped out of the Spirit Beast bag, and the spacious room immediately became narrower.
"Quack quack quack!"
As soon as the Spirit Fire Toad came out, it howled loudly and drooled everywhere, obviously very angry.
If you can't spray, lock up the frog! Isn't this bullying a frog?
Fortunately, Lin Sheng was well prepared. He used the Water Control Technique to catch all the saliva that flew towards him. He flicked it back and flew into the Spirit Fire Toad's mouth.
After receiving this blow, the Linghuo Toad's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. He was about to open his mouth to rant again when he suddenly saw Lin Sheng's cold eyes glancing at him, full of threats. He immediately calmed down, his big eyes full of resentment. .
If you can't spray, you get angry. It's such a bully!
"Well... this... this frog... this frog does have a personality." Lin Xingzheng racked his brains to come up with an adjective.
"Quack quack?"
The Linghuo Chan looked sideways at Lin Xingzheng, as if he was an onion.
Seeing the anthropomorphic expression of the Spirit Fire Toad, Lin Xingzheng's eyes were even more surprised: "This frog's intelligence is estimated to be extremely high."
‘Not only is he extremely tall, but he is also very good at trolling people. ’
Lin Sheng thought to himself and gave the Spirit Fire Toad a look to signal it to be more honest.
"Is this Buddha Bead a High Grade Law Weapon?" Lin Xingzheng pointed to the large Buddha Bead on Linghuo Toad's neck with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Probably, I can't control this Buddhist bead, only this Spirit Fire Toad can, which is strange to say."
"It's not surprising." Lin Xingzheng smiled slightly; "Buddha is destined to be a person. You can't control this treasure but you can control this frog. It only proves that you have no destiny with Buddha."
"I didn't expect Uncle Liu to know quite a lot about Buddhist proverbs?" Lin Sheng looked surprised.
"Haha, when I was young and wandering around, I met several ascetics and exchanged my cultivation experiences."
Lin Xingzheng explained with a smile and pointed at the Spirit Fire Toad: "How about sending this beast back to the clan's land and becoming a sacred beast that protects the clan? In the future, we will find some female beasts to come back and breed them to pass on the bloodline."
The Spirit Fire Toad's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly. The more he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, the more he liked him.
"???"
Lin Sheng thought he had heard wrong, but when he saw that Lin Xingzheng's serious face did not look like he was joking, he quickly refused: "Uncle Liu, please stop joking. The Immortal Cultivation World is so dangerous. You want to take away the Spirit Fire Toad. What should I do?"
"Quack quack quack!"
The Spirit Fire Toad looked dissatisfied and glared at Lin Sheng. How dare this man stop it from finding the female frog!
"Hehehe, look at the expression on this frog, it is very willing."
The smile on Lin Xingzheng's face became even bigger: "You are already at the peak of Qi Refining Late Stage. Having this extra frog by your side is just the icing on the cake. If you are sent back to the clan, the clan-protecting formation will be three points stronger."
"And you are not a Spirit Beast master, so do you have the extra energy to cultivate this beast? Why not send it back to the clan to cultivate it, and the family will spend resources to help you cultivate Monster, and you can just have fun secretly."
Lin Sheng's expression was a little moved when he heard this. Lin Xingzheng's words were correct. The help of the Spirit Fire Toad to him now was indeed limited, and he had no intention of cultivating the Spirit Fire Toad. It would be good to be thrown into the clan and become a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Okay, since Uncle Six said so, you can take the Spirit Fire Toad away."
"Quack, quack, quack!" The Spirit Fire Toad narrowed its big eyes and caressed its belly with both claws. It was obvious that it was extremely happy to hear these words.
"But Uncle Six, I have to remind you that this frog looks very powerful, but in reality it is extremely timid."
"Quack? Quack, quack, quack? Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
