As usual, Jiang Wang sent Jiang Anan to school after doing morning exercises and breathing Dao essence. Then, he went out of the city to see Du Yehu off.
Traveling was not an easy thing these days. It was filled with the bitterness of life and death.
The reason why humans lived in villages, towns, and cities was largely because of the endless wild beasts, as well as the ferocious beasts and demonic beasts hidden in the mountains.
Towns were safe. Other than that, there were only the official roads. It wasn't that the formation patterns carved on the official roads were foolproof. The manor couldn't and couldn't afford to pay such a huge price. In fact, the formation patterns' effect was mostly to intimidate.
More importantly, the manor would mobilize powerful cultivators to regularly sweep the roads — officially called "plowing" — to ensure that the ferocious beasts without intelligence but with keen intuition would remember the danger and not dare to approach.
With Du Yehu's strength, as long as he walked on the official roads, there wouldn't be too much danger.
When Jiang Wang arrived at the outskirts of the city, Zhao Rucheng and Ling He were there. There was no one else. Among the brothers, Du Yehu had a bold temperament and had the most friends. However, he didn't like bashful relationships, so he didn't tell the others about his enlistment. Instead, he asked Ling He to pass the message.
A banquet was set up in the wilderness. It was undoubtedly Zhao Rucheng's handiwork.
Jiang Wang took out the Four Spirits Body Tempering Technique that he had copied overnight and handed it to Du Yehu.
Du Yehu's eyes lit up after flipping through two pages. "Third Brother, this is good stuff!"
"Let me see, let me see." Zhao Rucheng came over curiously.
However, he turned his head after reading a few lines. "Body tempering? How tiring is that?"
"Such a good cultivation technique!" Du Yehu was exasperated. "You won't be willing to let it go after a few more glances."
Although he could tell at a glance that this cultivation technique was the complete sublimation of the White Tiger Body Tempering Technique, he didn't ask Jiang Wang where it came from. When Jiang Wang wanted to tell him, he would naturally tell him. Everyone had their own secrets. Even Jiang Anan had her own secrets that she didn't want to tell others. There was no need to get to the bottom of it.
He also didn't have any thoughts of monopolizing it. He fell in love with this cultivation technique at first sight. He hoped that the other brothers wouldn't miss it.
Zhao Rucheng waved his hand. "It's too long. I won't look."
Du Yehu turned to Ling He, who shook his head. "I'm currently focusing on opening my meridians and stabilizing my Heavenly Palace. I can't be distracted by other cultivation techniques."
He was a steady person who would take things one step at a time. After pooling all their Dao Merit Points, they were only a little more than twenty Dao Merit Points away. These days, he had been doing missions, but it was difficult for him to handle the graded missions. Most of the time, he followed behind his senior brothers and did some side work. Therefore, the number of Taoist Points he gained was very little. Usually, he gained one or two points. Sometimes, he even gained nothing. But no matter what, he was getting closer and closer to becoming a Transcendent.
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I will also use this method to refine my body. When we meet again, let's see who has cultivated more deeply."
"My talent in swordsmanship is not as good as yours. As for the Military Cultivation Method … hehe. Just wait and see." Du Yehu was very confident.
"Then, see you in Xin 'an!"
"See you in Xin 'an."
When Jiang Wang and the others went to Xin 'an City, it was naturally the day they would be admitted to the National Academy. When Du Yehu went to Xin 'an City, he had to at least become a general with real power in the Jiujiang Xuan Armor before he could go to the Zhuang Capital to practice martial arts.
Their grand imaginations of the future were all in the young people's idle chatter.
The brothers casually ate a few mouthfuls and chatted for a while. Other than Ling He, who never drank, the other three drank three big bowls as a farewell. No one shed tears on their clothes.
Then, Du Yehu raised a bowl of wine toward the southwest. However, he did not say anything. He only poured the wine.
Everyone knew who he was bidding farewell to.
This time, Du Yehu went to Jiujiang from the south gate and took the official road. The small path that led to the Green Willow River was in the southwest direction.
The recruitment of the Jiujiang Xuan Armor was open to everyone from the Ministry of War to the National Academy. After all, it was not an exaggeration to say that this army was the pride of the Zhuang Capital. Therefore, he did not have to go through too many procedures to leave the National Academy.
He had already said what he needed to say. Even if he could see his friend off for a thousand miles, he would have to part in the end.
"I'm leaving!"
In the end, Du Yehu only said this before he carried his bag and went on his way empty-handed.
At that moment, there was no wind or rain, and the clouds gradually parted.
Autumn was coming to an end.
…
As a disciple of the side branch of the Lin family in Wangjiang City, Lin Zhenglun had been in the limelight recently.
First, he married a widow and was mocked by others. However, he did not care. After marriage, the couple was loving and harmonious. In a few days, he had pried open the medicinal herb market in Maplewood City. In Wangjiang City, which valued business very much, this had undoubtedly won him considerable recognition. He even used this opportunity to control the medicinal herb business within the Lin family.
Perhaps the side branch would become the main branch, and a sparrow would become a phoenix.
Only then did people know that the widow he married was not simple. She had brought a dowry! It was the medicinal herb shop with the best reputation in the entire Feng Xi Town.
Who did not know that the medicinal herb business in Maplewood City depended on the harvest of Feng Xi Town? In Feng Xi Town, the Jiang family's medicinal shop was famous far and wide. Of course, they had changed their surname to Lin.
Back then, the Lin family's medicinal herbs had tried their best to squeeze into Maplewood City, but progress had been difficult. No one had thought that Lin Zhenglun would find another way and rely on a marriage to break the situation. This caused quite a few people to feel regret. After all, the widow herself was quite beautiful, let alone having such benefits.
Sitting in the Wangjiang Tower in Wangjiang City and looking into the distance, the dragon-like body of the vast and mighty Qing River moved in their eyes.
Lin Zhenglun sat in the main seat and toasted with his new friends. Listening to the flattery of everyone present, he was very proud.
Tap ~ Tap ~ Tap!
The sound of going upstairs was so clear that Lin Zhenglun turned his head to see who was so blind. He, Big Official Lin, had clearly booked this floor.
With this look, the people sitting with him had already stood up.
"Young Master Lin."
"Young Master Lin!"
There were many young masters with the surname Lin, but there was only one who could make so many famous people present bow to him. That was the legitimate son of the Lin family's patriarch, the future patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Zhengli.
Lin Zhenglun subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he forcibly restrained himself and sat in his original position. He smiled and said, "Little Brother Zhengli, how come you have time to come to Wangjiang Tower today? I've already booked this floor. You can play as much as you want. Put all your expenses on my account. "
That's right, he was the elder brother of this Young Master Lin. In the past, he was a lowly person, so there was nothing to say. Now that he had relied on his great contributions to enter the main line, in terms of seniority, it was natural for him to be ranked first.
Even though he couldn't compete with Lin Zhengli for the position of the Lin family's patriarch, he was about to control the entire family's medicinal herb business. Naturally, he had the confidence to sit and talk.
As soon as he said this, the young masters behind Lin Zhengli all laughed. They were all sons of influential families. Even if they laughed inexplicably, Lin Zhenglun couldn't say anything.
On the other hand, Lin Zhengli himself was very calm. He even cupped his hands and bowed to Lin Zhenglun, "Big Brother Zhenglun is too polite."
Under Lin Zhenglun's attentive invitation, they sat down. Lin Zhengli smiled and said, "I've never had a chance before. Since we've coincidentally met today, this little brother has some things to say to elder brother."
Lin Zhenglun looked around rather complacently. His meaning was: Look at how much the future patriarch of the Lin family respects me?
But his mouth deliberately said modestly, "Little Brother Zhengli is too polite. There's no harm in saying anything. Your elder brother is a few years older than you, so I have some life experience to share with you. "
"That's good." Lin Zhengli smiled, "Has the medicinal herb business in Maplewood City been stabilized?"
This question scratched his itch, and Lin Zhenglun laughed heartily, "With your elder brother taking action, there's no reason why it can't be taken down. Little Brother Zhengli, just watch. In less than two years, all the medicinal herbs in Maplewood City will follow our Lin family's surname! "
"That's good, that's good." Lin Zhengli nodded repeatedly, "Since that's the case, elder brother can rest at ease in the Autumn Garden."
"Of course!" Lin Zhenglun first subconsciously echoed, then immediately reacted, "Wh … what??!"
The Autumn Garden had a nice name, but it was only a place for the clan's lonely elders to retire. What age was Lin Zhenglun? Why should he retire there?
"Little Brother Zhengli, don't make this kind of joke." Lin Zhenglun forced a smile.
Lin Zhengli restrained his smile, "I never joke. I'll personally take over the medicinal herbs business. "
The young masters who came upstairs with him laughed again. The laughter was very light, but it sounded very heavy.
The autumn wind blew across the surface of Qing River, and then into Wang River Tower, blowing onto Lin Zhenglun's body.
He realized that he couldn't resist.
Only now did he feel cold.
It was already late autumn. He thought.
