Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 69 I Want to Become an Immortal

Qian Tongtie placed the three treasures on the table: a lantern, a tiger-skin cloak, and a small hammer that looked exquisite and beautiful.

The lantern depicts a beautiful woman dressed in fine gauze, with a slender figure and two long red lines drawn between her eyebrows.

The tiger cape retains the tiger's head, making it look quite majestic.

The small hammer has a large head and a thin handle; it's specially made for small ginseng roots.

Lin Jiang wanted to collect the remaining payment, but Qian Tongtie simply waved his hand:
“Young Master Lin, there’s no need. I’ve already heard about how you distributed medicine to save people in town. To be honest, my two children were also sick at the time. If it weren’t for the prescription you gave them, they probably wouldn’t have survived. You are my savior, so why talk about money?”

Lin Jiang shook his head: "One thing at a time. You should be rewarded for your hard work."

After several attempts to refuse, Lin Jiang finally gave the silver to Qian Tongtie.

Qian Tongtie planned to build another treasure for Shui Xing to protect the house, free of charge.

After exchanging pleasantries, I finally looked at the treasures on the table.

"What are the abilities of these three treasures? And how should we handle their valuables?"

Before Qian Tongtie could speak, the three objects on the table spoke first.

The three of them seemed to have argued first, but in the end, it was Lantern who spoke first:

“My lord is so handsome and dashing, even more so than the immortals in paintings. You are truly a good master. I am called Jiaren Gui. I can be a beautiful woman to entice people’s eyes, or I can record images and play them out. If my lord needs me to go somewhere, I can fly there with you.”

"The valuables I request... should be that you, my lord, do not see any other woman within an hour, or I will gouge out your eyes. However, if you are willing to spend half an hour with me afterward, I will consider it payment for these valuables."

"You shameless slut!" The woman in the tiger-skin cloak spat beside him. Lin Jiang was genuinely surprised that her voice was also female.

However, compared to the soft sound of the lantern, the sound of the cloak was noticeably more solid:

“Young master, my clumsy thing is nothing like those fancy bastards. I need to eat the souls of evil people and turn them into cougars. The more vicious the evil person, the more ruthless the cougar will be, and it can help you punish the thieves and eliminate evil. But the cougars I store must have quality and there is a limit. I have four teeth in total, so I can store a maximum of four cougars. Storing cougars doesn't require valuables, but using cougars does.”

"What are your valuables?" Lin Jiang asked.

"Meat! It doesn't matter what kind of meat it is! There's only one requirement: it has to be delicious! Meat that's delicious enough will do!"

It might be a hallucination, but Lin Jiang seemed to see the cloak lick its lips: "This is the best thing I've ever tasted in my life."

"Me too," Lin Jiang replied.

Qian Tongtie, who was about to be introduced, looked surprised:

"Young Master Lin, you've learned the art of hearing."

"The person who taught me this method calls it 'ear-stealing'."

"Pretty much the same." Qian Tongtie exclaimed, "This is one of the basic skills of our Casting Department. Back then, it took me a month to be able to hear the sound of treasures. My master praised me for my high talent. Now, I have not even spent a month making these treasures. Young Master Lin, you are really fast at learning!"

Lin Jiang was too embarrassed to tell Qian Tongtie that he had mastered the technique in just three days.

Lin Jiang tapped the last small hammer, and the hammer vibrated twice:
"A chivalrous person should kill the wicked."

This hammer doesn't seem to have much spirit.

Qian Tongtie was a little embarrassed:

"This hammer is newly made and needs time to cultivate its spirituality. It doesn't have any great abilities, except that it's heavier than it looks. To use it, you need to give it blood with strong malevolent energy, which is usually sufficient for fighting enemies."

Lin Jiang was slightly curious:

"Weren't the materials given to you together? Why did the other two items develop spirituality?"

"Uh," Qian Tongtie hesitated, "It's probably because the materials you provided were of good quality."

He couldn't say any more and hurriedly took his leave.

Lin Jiang put on the tiger-skin cloak, picked up a lantern, ran to the lakeside, and looked at his reflection in the water.

This outfit is a bit too stiff; I'll wait until I need it before making a decision.

Little Ginseng, on the other hand, was quite fond of the little hammer. He swung it around the yard with great vigor. Chen Dajiang wanted to challenge Little Ginseng to a duel, but after a couple of tries, the stick in his hand broke.

This made Little Ginseng very happy. He put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.
"Haha! I've taken my first step on the path to becoming a great hero!" Just as Lin Jiang was about to put the two treasures away, half of the luminous pearl hidden in his sleeve peeked out, its surface flashing with light.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

Looking at the two new babies, Ye Mingzhu vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen them before.

The master would store some of his unfinished treasures in the warehouse; those were his descendants.

These two items seem to be from my own descendants.

……

In the days that followed, Lin Jiang did not leave the Water Mart.

He spends his days with Wen Xiangyi and Lin Shengfeng, strolling among the pines with the two elderly people during the day, telling them interesting stories, and listening to Wen Xiangyi recount tales of her youth.

To make the two elderly people happy.

And so it remained for five days.

As the sun rose for the sixth time, Wen Xiangyi had the carriage ready.

It's not those two old horses anymore. Those two old horses are too old. We should keep them in the water and let them live out their old age in peace.

These are two tall, strong new horses, both very robust.

Lin Jiang was opening the storage compartment inside the carriage, checking each item he needed to bring on this trip.

The first layer of the wooden box contained twenty ingots of official silver, with the broken silver ingots wrapped in small red silk packets, and several silver notes stamped with vermilion seals pressed at the bottom of the box.

The box contained neatly folded winter and summer clothes, and there was even a cotton quilt next to the clothes.

Lin Jiang looked at the bulky quilt and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed:
"Grandma, do we not need to bring a blanket?"

“We can’t skimp on that!” Wen Xiangyi firmly refused. “Our merchant guild’s cottonseed from Zhili is the only place that produces good fluff. Those unscrupulous merchants in the capital are used to mixing cattail fluff into the cotton core! You won’t sleep soundly. Listen to your grandmother and take it with you.”

So his luggage now includes two more quilts.

Although it does take up a bit of space, Lin Jiang felt that he would be more comfortable using this blanket in Kyoto.

After tidying up all these things, Lin Jiang noticed that Manager Liu and Chen Dajiang had also packed their luggage, looking like they were about to set off together.

“Our family has a branch in Xingyuan over there, mainly dealing in small items. Manager Liu is going there this time to handle the branch’s affairs. Chen Dajiang is a martial arts expert and knows the names of the gangs in the martial arts world, which can save a lot of trouble. You can have the two of them come with you, so they can look out for each other along the way.”

The carriage was spacious enough to comfortably seat four people. Lin Jiang also hoped to learn more about the ways of the martial arts world from Chen Dajiang on the road, so as not to be ignorant and suffer some hidden losses.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two got into the car, leaving Lin Jiang to say goodbye to the elderly couple.

"Be careful on your way to Kyoto. If you don't understand anything, be sure to ask Da Jiang. Don't get into any conflicts with others. Change into dry clothes when your undergarments are soaked with sweat. Make sure to shake the bedding at the inn three times before you go." Wen Xiangyi felt like she had so many more things to tell him.

Lin Jiang didn't know how to respond, so he could only give her a big hug.

Wen Xiangyi's lips moved, but in the end she just hugged her.

After the hug ended, Lin Jiang walked up to Lin Shengfeng.

Lin Shengfeng seemed to recognize Lin Jiang again:

"Grandson, where are you going?"

Lin Jiang didn't know how to answer Lin Shengfeng.

If it's going to the capital, there will inevitably be some concerns.

After thinking for a long time, he finally smiled and said:
"Grandson, you're going to ascend to heaven."

Just then, a gust of wind came, and the petals that had been left over from a few days ago were scattered all over the sky by the wind.
