Cultivation: Being Immortal

Central Province, Moon City

"Li Changsheng?"

When Chen Jingyu privately met Lin Jiang, the first thing she said was to confirm his identity.

"It’s me."

Lin Jiang nodded. Xu Yunyue told Chen Jingyu about his secret, which was not something strange.

"I want to know what Yang Luo said to you when she left."

"Miss Chen, is this your home?"

"What?"

"I asked if this is your home. Am I your servant?"

Chen Jingyu finally realized that her previous question was too impolite and rude.

"It’s okay, it’s great to recognize mistakes and make amends."

"But I still want to know, if it’s convenient for you to talk about it."

"Then you should believe the words I said in Tianxian City."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Forgive me for being direct, but Yang Luo cannot possibly be interested in you."

"Why, am I not good-looking?"

"This has nothing to do with appearance. Yang Luo and I are the same kind of people, superior to others. If you want to become the husband of someone like us, you must have the ability to surpass all cultivators. Clearly, you are not qualified."

"Chen Xianzi is not very popular in the Qing State Chen family, right?"

Lin Jiang was quite speechless. Chen Jingyu was undoubtedly a genius, there was no doubt about her intelligence. But her emotional intelligence was too low. We are not even familiar with each other, is it necessary for her to be so disrespectful?

"Yes, I have always been straightforward. As a Talisman Maker, just like any other profession, I don’t need to think too much. I need a pure mind and to devote all my energy to the path of symbols."

"Then I assume your life goal is to reach the level of your ancestor Chen Chen."

"Yes, but let’s not discuss that today. Let’s talk about Yang Luo."

"Talk about how sad and upset she is, and how there’s nothing to talk about."

"How much have you mastered the new talisman technique?"

"Let’s talk about the three types of second-level spiritual talismans."

"Do you think Yang Luo has really taught all the concepts of the new talisman technique to others?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Human nature, self-interest, and, well, it’s me. It’s impossible for me to reveal everything, even if Yang Luo is willing. The Holy Heavenly Sect behind her is also unwilling."

Lin Jiang said directly, based on his understanding of Yang Luo, she couldn’t be that kind of selfless person.

"Yes, I think the same. We were all used by Yang Luo."

"She taught real things, but not in a way that made it obvious."

"You’re right, but we can’t deny that Yang Luo got the biggest benefit. She recruited hundreds of cultivators, gained fame throughout the world, and helped build good relationships with the Holy Heavenly Sect and other sects, didn’t she?"

"And then what?"

"And then, the Spiritual Moon Sect will be in danger. Within ten years, the Holy Heavenly Sect and the Spiritual Moon Sect will definitely go to war."

"And then what? What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with me?"

"I represent the Chen family, I represent the Qing State. The Spiritual Moon Sect is our strongest ally in Zhongzhou. The Spiritual Moon Sect cannot lose, so I want to help them. And you, I am willing to hire you, make an offer for your assistance."

"What’s the price?"

"I have mastery over the new talisman technique and all talisman patterns before the sixth level of the previous talisman technique. I guarantee that no other sect in the world has a more complete collection of talisman techniques than my Chen family."

Chen Jingyu said. Chen Chen, the ancestor of the Chen family, was a groundbreaking figure. Even after all these years, the talismans he left behind are still the highest level in the world.

"The price is indeed high, but I want to ask, how much support does Qing State give to Spiritual Moon Sect? Honestly, if Spiritual Moon Sect loses, I cannot help them."

Lin Jiang spoke and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. Chen Jingyu’s words made him feel the pessimism of Qing State towards Spiritual Moon Sect. Qing State has already decided that Spiritual Moon Sect cannot win.

"There’s no need for you to be buried with them. As for the support from Qing State, it depends on Yun State. Right now, Qing State and Yun State are engaged in fierce warfare, and I don’t have much time here."

Chen Jingyu said that the warfare between Qing State and Yun State is no secret. She didn’t hide the fact that the war is intense and she needs to go back to provide support. That’s why she needs someone here to help Spiritual Moon Sect master the new talisman technique.

With these words, many thoughts crossed Lin Jiang’s mind. The first thought was to get rid of Chen Jingyu, helping Yun State eliminate an enemy, but he quickly dismissed it.

"Okay, I agree."

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Li."

"From now on, let’s call me Taoist Friend Huang. I now have the surname Huang."

"Alright, Taoist Friend Huang, this is the legacy jade scroll."

"Taoist Friend Chen is very generous."

Lin Jiang also didn’t hesitate and directly took these jade slips.

"I hope you are also generous in your actions. I have five more days in Moon City. After five days, I will leave."

"Understood. In these five days, let’s quickly get to know each other and then teach the new talisman technique to the Spiritual Moon Sect, right?"

"Okay, I have something to do. I’ll go first."

Chen Jingyu nodded. She didn’t want to stay longer. If Yang Luo talked more with this person, he might randomly say that Yang Luo likes him. If she stayed a bit longer, who knows what rumors might spread.

I really hate people who talk too much.

·······

Lin Jiang returned and seriously studied the jade slips given by Chen Jingyu. The content was indeed very abundant, and Chen Jingyu didn’t deceive him. She gave him something genuine. This made Lin Jiang have a much better impression of Chen Jingyu.

On the second day, Lin Jiang started to appear next to Chen Jingyu. She taught Talisman Maker at the Spiritual Moon Sect every day. In the morning, Chen Jingyu would explain, and in the afternoon, she would discuss with Lin Jiang in front of everyone about the new talisman technique.

When it comes to talisman-making, Lin Jiang is naturally more talented than Chen Jingyu. But when it comes to the new talisman technique, they both started at the same level. For now, Lin Jiang can barely keep up, but it’s uncertain in the future.

"Why is the Spiritual Moon Sect so weak in talisman-making? We discussed the new talisman technique this afternoon, and not a single Talisman Maker present understood it!"

In the evening, Lin Jiang told Chen Jingyu that he observed everyone’s expressions during the afternoon discussion, and it was easy to tell who understood and who didn’t.

"That’s normal. Every sect has its own expertise. If today’s topic was making clothes, you would also be clueless."

"But for a major sect, Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation are all fundamentals. Even if they’re not outstanding, they shouldn’t be so weak."

"I don’t understand this. But overall, the talisman-making at the Spiritual Moon Sect is indeed very weak. They don’t have any fifth-tier talismans, and there are not many fourth-tier ones either."

"How did it come to this? With such a weak foundation, it’s going to be difficult for them to grasp the new talisman technique."

"Do your best. Actually, this is normal. Most major sects have talisman-making inheritances that reach the seventh or even eighth tier. But have you seen many seventh-tier Talisman Makers in the cultivation world? Just because there’s an inheritance doesn’t mean it will be successfully passed down."

"It seems like the Spiritual Moon Sect doesn’t value it themselves."

Lin Jiang said. Chen Jingyu makes a valid point. In the Blue Star, the study materials for getting into the best universities have always been public, even including tutorials on building nuclear bombs. But only a few people are able to achieve that.

The same goes for the cultivation world. There have always been many techniques to achieve Tao Achieving, and the same is true for Fu Dao. The Spiritual Moon Sect has a rich heritage in Fu Dao, but there are so few experts. It can only be said that the Spiritual Moon Sect doesn’t value it themselves.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If Taoist Friend Huang decides to leave the Moon City in the future, you may consider settling in Qing State. My Chen family welcomes Taoist Friend Huang."

"Seems like I made a good impression on you."

"Not really, but you are a person with a pure heart. You have a strong passion for talisman technique, and that is rare."

"You’re making me feel embarrassed by saying that."

Lin Jiang said, he wasn’t exaggerating about this matter. It’s not that he didn’t learn other alchemy and crafting techniques, but his talent in Fu Dao surpasses the rest, which is why he kept persevering.

"I’ll be leaving in five days, so you can teach at your own pace. If you don’t understand, it’s okay."

"Okay, I will take you there"

Lin Jiang nodded, but Chen Jingyu was startled. She was a little scared. Lin Jiang had accompanied Yang Luo before, and soon there were rumors everywhere. Chen Jingyu didn’t like being talked about like this.

Lin Jiang had no idea what Chen Jingyu was thinking. He felt that her reaction was a bit strange, but he didn’t think too much about it.

Five days quickly passed, and Lin Jiang, along with a group from the Spiritual Moon Sect including the Talisman Maker and Xu Yunyue, escorted Chen Jingyu away. After all, few people were willing to selflessly teach others like Chen Jingyu. Even a single-word teacher was considered a teacher, not to mention she was much more than that.

Chen Jingyu didn’t dare to speak to Lin Jiang. After exchanging a few words with Xu Yunyue, she left. Chen Jingyu wasn’t alone, she had a group of people with her. They boarded a large flying ship and departed.

"Boom"

Everyone prepared to watch Chen Jingyu’s group disappear into the distance, but before they could fly more than a hundred miles, they saw a sword light appear and the flying ship Chen Jingyu was on was cut down. Several figures rose from within the ship.

"Assassin"

"There are assassins"

The people of the Spiritual Moon Sect shouted loudly. Some were panicked, while others rushed forward to attack. Lin Jiang saw that Xu Yunyue reacted the fastest. Before anyone else had even shouted, she had already disappeared.

Lin Jiang quickly slipped into the protective range of the Moon City’s formation. With just one glance, he knew that among the attackers, there were at least a few with Soul Changing cultivation levels. He couldn’t afford to provoke them.

"Cao Ying, it’s Yun State’s Cao Ying."

"Quickly ask for help."

Lin Jiang didn’t want to watch the commotion, but then he suddenly heard Xu Yunyue’s voice, which made him stop walking.
