On a spirit mountain on the outskirts of Jinghua city, there was an Elegant Little Pavilion that no one knew about.
The area around the spirit mountain was covered in a powerful barrier, and anyone below True Immortal level wouldn't be able to spy on this place. Even the most advanced scientific equipment couldn't detect any trace of this Elegant Little Pavilion.
Because this was where General Yi, one of the Ten Founding Generals, usually stayed.
But while it was official business, General Yi actually didn't need to worry about most things. His current state was the same as Marshal Jiang's in the family apartment. Both of them were among the Ten Generals, and powerful ones at that. In terms of martial prowess, General Yi and Marshal Jiang were already ranked first and second among the Ten Generals.
Hm … furthermore, both of them thought they were number one …
There were almost no missions for them to carry out on a daily basis, unless there was an SSS-level wanted criminal that they had no choice but to capture, such as the old devil from before, then they would specially issue a mission for their help.
…
…
Twenty minutes ago …
There was a tea table by the window in Elegant Little Pavilion. The windows were very low, and through them, it felt like sitting at the top of the sky and looking down on all the other small mountains.
General Yi held a cup of tea and cracked melon seeds …
"This bunch of people is really interesting." General Yi played with his phone. When Dharmaraja had made the group chat earlier, he had added his alternate account Nine Times Man into it.
As for the origin of this chat group, it was a long story …
"I haven't asked General Yi yet, how did you get to know this bunch of juniors?" asked an old man with white hair and a beard sitting opposite General Yi.
This old man's surname was Tang and his first name was Chen. He was General Yi's trusted aide, and also Elegant Little Pavilion's butler and gardener. Once General Yi received a mission from the top, he would be gone for more than half a month or even several months. Someone had to personally take care of the flower fields near Elegant Little Pavilion.
When people got older, they especially liked to take care of flowers and plants, which General Yi had previously summed up as the hobby of the elderly … However, after joining Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's chat group, General Yi had developed a second hobby, which was pretending to be cute and chatting with the group …
"I met them on a mission before. It wasn't convenient for me to expose my identity, so I pretended to be a junior with the Daoist name Nine Times in One Night, who is actually my adopted son. "
General Yi stared at the screen without turning and couldn't help laughing. "But this kid has never been interested in cultivation, and is just a good-for-nothing Golden Core cultivator. After that mission, I became acquainted with Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, and after several requests, I was able to join the group. When I don't have time to meet him, I entrust this foster son of mine called Nine Times Man to go on my behalf. "
"General Yi actually has an adopted son, this is the first I've heard of this …"
"General Yi actually has an adopted son, this is the first time I've heard of this."
Tang Yi of of of. "Yi, General Yi, I of Immortal Yi, of the Core cultivators are of Man Yi, the Immortal, Sect, of Yi of is of the Yi of Sect.
Old Tang broke out in a sweat. "But General Yi … your adopted son Nine Times Man is only at the Golden Core stage; are you sure you won't be exposed?"
"General Yi shook his head." In terms of appearance, of course not. Back then, this old man specially used a face-changing pill based on Nine Times Man's face; anyone below True Immortal level won't be able to see through it even with the Heavenly Eye. In terms of aura, my adopted son has the golden talisman I gave him. As for temperament, there's even less to worry about … My adopted son Nine Times Man isn't interested in cultivation, but he's a qualified actor. "
Old Tang continued to wipe at his sweat. "Actor … actor?"
"That's right. Although he's a minor character in the show business, he's passionate about his career. Furthermore, he refuses to help me arrange everything for him. Otherwise … wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for me to make a phone call and promote him? "
General Yi said, "Earlier, that junior in the group said he wanted to give me a gift. It's not convenient for me to leave the mountain now, so I'm going to ask Nine Times Man to help me deal with it. "
Old Tang: "…"
"The people in this group are all righteous people, which I admire very much. Moreover, everyone's hearts are connected and we share weal and woe. In this day and age, there aren't many juniors like this anymore. Usually, it's quite interesting to listen to these juniors talk about the cultivation circle's gossip in the group. "
Old Tang nodded. "That's right … most of the juniors nowadays are too impetuous."
The current era couldn't compare to the era when people cultivated one step at a time. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage could use all kinds of elixirs to speed up their cultivation, which gave rise to a natural sense of superiority for the sons of rich families. This sense of superiority was bound to have a very serious impact on their minds.
Before he had been transferred here to work as a gardener for General Yi, Old Tang had also been engaged in research on education, and had been an opponent of taking accelerated drugs to advance realms.
But that was already a long time ago …
Now, as long as one had the aptitude and resources, it would only take a short twenty years to reach the Golden Core stage.
This would have been unthinkable a thousand years ago … Old Tang felt that if there really was such a thing as "knowledge from the afterlife" … that group of Golden Core cultivators who had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years, but in the end had no hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and died of old age, would most likely be so angry that they would throw open their coffins and jump out! Even Newton couldn't keep them down!
So when he heard what General Yi said, Old Tang couldn't help nodding. "It would be great if there were more juniors like this in our modern cultivation circle …"
"Old Tang is right. Although the people in this group are all juniors, they aren't ordinary people. I've heard of almost every one of them. But … "Saying this, General Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly." There's actually another person in this group who I'm very interested in. So far, I haven't been able to verify this person's true identity. "
Old Tang chuckled. "Someone who can interest General Yi? It looks like this person isn't simple … "
General Yi nodded. "Everyone in the group calls this person 'Ling Zhenren', but his real realm isn't at the Perfected Person realm; this is just a customary title.
"Everyone in the group respects this Ling Zhenren very much, and is afraid of offending him. This old man once sent people to make indirect inquiries and investigate this person's identity from various angles … "
Old Tang was curious. "And the result?"
General Yi sighed. "It's all mosaic!"
Old Tang: "…"
