Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 379:

Bing State, Min Mountain

Lin Jiang looked up at Lin Ying with sincere eyes. Lin Ying couldn’t make up her mind. She had been alive for so many years, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. No wonder Lin Dongmin couldn’t handle it.

"Doesn’t this prove my sincerity?"

"I want to see your true face, not hide and seek."

"It’s not convenient. If my taoist friend doesn’t want to make money, then forget it. But I have a duty to remind my taoist friend that the previous cooperation, as well as this one, is just the beginning. If my taoist friend is willing to continue working together, I have many good things with me that are enough for my taoist friend to earn a lot."

"Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you and take your things directly?"

"The Yun State Lin family is not to that extent."

"So you indeed know our identities. Who are you?"

Lin Ying let out a cold laugh, and the imposing manner of Soul Changing locked directly onto Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang felt very unhappy, not because of Lin Ying, but because of the atmosphere in the cultivation world, where there was no trust between people.

"Your father Lin Batian is a friend of mine."

"My dad’s friend?"

"Yes. I don’t want to waste words. Just tell me, will you make the trade or not?"

"Let me think about it."

Lin Ying said that she was sure the person in front of her had no bad intentions. The things displayed in front were worth at least billions of spirit stones, and they were the kind of things that money couldn’t buy. In any city, they would qualify to enter the advanced auction.

But she couldn’t figure out the identity of the person in front of her, and this made her hesitate. Good things don’t just fall from the sky.

Lin Jiang saw her hesitation and directly put away the things, about to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment, my taoist friend."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, I have made up my mind. How do we make the trade?"

"We will use 80% of the market value, with 30% paid in spirit stones and the remaining 70% replaced with other resources. I will prepare a list."

Lin Jiang said that he didn’t dare to go to auctions in other big cities because Yang Luo knew he was hiding in the Wilderness. If his identity got exposed because of it, Yang Luo might track him down.

If he didn’t go to the auction, directly selling to other merchants would definitely lead to a lower price, and the risk would be huge as well. So he decided to just cooperate directly with Yun State. At worst, his identity would be revealed, and he would just get a beating from Lin Batian, his old man. After all, fathers beating their sons is normal. ȑ𝙖Ɲ𝘰𐌱ЕS̈

"Good"

Lin Ying agreed directly, this way of trading, Lin family undoubtedly gained a great advantage, it’s like a gift.

Lin Jiang left a list and agreed to come back here to trade in six months. By then, Lin Jiang will bring more things, so Lin Ying should be prepared.

Lin Ying looked at the things Lin Jiang left behind and only realized after he left that she didn’t even ask for his name.

"My friend?"

Upon hearing what Lin Ying said, Yun StateLin Batian was also very surprised. He did have some friends, but he didn’t think any of them were so foolish.

Did he unintentionally do many good deeds?

"Dad, do you really not remember having such a friend?"

"Ahem, Old Ten, you also know that my father has friends all over the world. I may have unintentionally helped him with something big"

"Do you think it’s possible, he’s only at the beginning stage of his magical powers"

"Who says I can’t have friends at the beginning stage of their magical powers?"

"Dad, now is not the time for jokes. This person’s identity is mysterious, we need to understand if they’re an enemy or a friend before saying anything"

"Definitely not an enemy, you know how valuable these things are"

"What if it’s a trap?"

"Then we have to take the bait, Old Ten. Dad is in a tough spot. Yang Luo, that jerk, set the price of the talisman array so high. We’re running out of money to break through the blockade of the Qing State"

Lin Batian said, he couldn’t ignore the strange intentions of this person. Even if it’s a trap, he still has to take the risk.

Because Yang Luo presented him with a difficult challenge. Yang Luo is willing to help them deal with the Qing State, but it won’t be for free. They have to pay, and the price of the talisman array is ridiculously high. The Yun State can’t afford it, and he was just worried about how to make money. Isn’t this a gift from heaven?

"Father, this matter is too dangerous."

"I understand, so next time, I will personally meet with him, you have to trust in father’s abilities, even Tao Achieving cannot catch father."

"Okay."

Lin Ying said, she had no doubt about Lin Batian’s abilities, he had already reached the peak of Void Achieving, and was close to mastering the four major families’ secret techniques. He was capable of confronting Tao Achieving head-on, and even if Tao Achieving intervened, they wouldn’t be able to detain Lin Batian.

"Alright, go prepare. Give the best quality items that the other party wants."

Lin Batian nodded, he also wanted to see who this mysterious friend was.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the exchange, and Lin Jiang wasn’t very surprised by Lin Batian’s presence.

"The secrets of the seventy-two transformations?"

Lin Batian saw Lin Jiang and was surprised that he couldn’t see through Lin Jiang’s disguise. The ever-changing secret techniques of the four major families originated from the seventy-two transformations. However, the seventy-two transformations were already lost and only a small portion remained.

"The little one said they’re my friend, but I don’t know which friend."

"Bing State, Divine Kingdom."

"Divine Kingdom?"

"Our ancestral Qiao Fan was once trapped in the Divine Kingdom. Senior Lin broke through the Divine Kingdom and took away the Formation Spirit. Our family remembers it deeply."

Lin Jiang said. Qiao Fan was one of the Soul Changings in the cultivation alliance of the Divine Kingdom back then. He and Zhou Huaiying have been partners for a long time. Lin Jiang has seen Qiao Fan a few times after leaving the Divine Kingdom, but Qiao Fan’s lifespan wasn’t much at that time. He’s probably already passed away.

Lin Batian recalled the name in his mind and indeed had some impression. Qiao Fan used to be friends with Zhou Huaiying. After breaking through the Divine Kingdom, Qiao Fan even exchanged contact information with him.

"Even if it’s after parting with someone, you don’t have to repay them in this way."

"Senior Lin, can you tell something from what I have?"

"You’ve figured it out. The elixir wasn’t cultivated by a Spiritual Farmer, and the Red Blood Dragon Crystal Stone is extremely rare in various parts of the cultivation world. Only the Wilderness has some. Your source comes from the Wilderness."

"Yes, I have a connection with a Demon King in Wilderness, and I can get resources from there. But I can’t sell them openly, so I have to find some special channels. The reputation of the Lin family in the cultivation world is well-known, and I believe Lin Senior won’t let me down."

"You’re really lucky."

Lin Batian couldn’t help but admire. Wilderness is a treasure trove, and many cultivators are active there. They hunt beasts for food. But it turns out someone has found a way to access Wilderness directly. Now they can get things without fighting, making others envy them.

This also fits Lin Jiang’s reasoning. If this matter is exposed, the major sects won’t be able to sit still. They will surely come to snatch it.

"Just lucky."

"If that’s the case, then I agree. We can cooperate in the long term."

"I came for the long term. We will have a big trade once a year. I will give you what I need in advance, and you can prepare ahead of time."

Lin Jiang said, knowing that Lin Batian didn’t really believe him, but he was greedy and wanted to make money. Lin Jiang thought Lin Batian agreed because Yun State’s economy couldn’t withstand it anymore.

"Alright, alright."

Lin Batian nodded his head. There was no suspense left as the two of them completed the transaction, and Lin Jiang immediately ran away.

"I thought you would catch him."

Lin Ying appeared by Lin Batian’s side and said.

"Why should we catch him?"

"Are you willing to give up Wilderness’s interests?"

"I don’t want to, but now we can’t get access to Wilderness’s resources by catching him. It’s natural to cooperate first. Wait until we break Qing State’s blockade, then we can talk about it again."

Lin Batian said, everyone would be jealous of Wilderness’s resources, and he was no exception.

But Lin Batian understood the situation. Breaking Qing State’s blockade and even defeating Qing State was the most important. When Yun State’s power could freely enter and exit the states, then it would be time to make plans. If he could replace this person, he wouldn’t hesitate at all.

"Dad, let me handle this line of work."

"You, Old Ten, how come you’re interested too?"

"Hmm, I have some personal matters to attend to, maybe I’ll need him."

Lin Ying said, she already knew from Yang Luo that her older brother might be hiding in the Wilderness. This person happens to have connections there, so she wanted to use his connections to investigate.

Originally, she was going to go herself, but she didn’t have any connections in the Wilderness, and Big Shadiao was busy with the battle. Even she herself was very busy, so she could only do it this way.
