Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Lin Yuan glanced at his former loser, his face expressionless, but his thoughts were quite complicated.

He wasn't surprised that Ji Lin was still alive, after all, the First Immortal Sect set up the illusion to select disciples, not to take lives.

It's not surprising that some of these practices involve supernatural elements.

only......

He had just witnessed someone die unwillingly before his eyes not long ago, and now, after being reincarnated, he sees that person living well right before his eyes.

Some unspeakable emotions welled up inside.

"Senior brother." Ji Lin bowed respectfully as he saw the newcomer.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan quickly searched his memory for anything related to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin's address of "senior brother" was not based on the rules of the Gong Clan, but rather... originated from the Demonic Sect.

That's right, the original owner and Ji Lin's true identities were actually disciples of the Demonic Sect.

Five years ago, the original body, who was still a rogue cultivator, joined the Blood Refining Sect, a demonic sect that was quite large in this cultivation world.

The first task that the Blood Refining Sect ordered the original body to perform was to infiltrate the Gong Clan as an undercover agent.

However, the Gong clan is the head of the four great immortal clans, and at that time, the original body, who was only at the second level of Qi Refining, naturally had little opportunity to find one.

The Blood Refining Sect also knew this was no easy task, and therefore provided some assistance.

They ambushed the ten elders and severely injured them.

Then, the original owner of the body stepped in to save people.

Later, he joined the Gong Clan of Immortals as planned.

For the next few years, the original owner received the antidote from the Blood Refining Sect on time—all disciples had to take a specially made poison pill before going undercover, and this poison could only be suppressed by taking the antidote once every three months.

However, the sect's first task was not issued until ten days ago.

Because the mission was of a high level, the sect also sent people to assist.

And this person is Ji Lin, who is standing in front of us.

Of course, the Blood Refining Sect's original plan did not include assigning personnel to assist.

only......

Lin Yuan glanced at Ji Lin casually. This guy was originally an undercover agent sent by the Blood Refining Sect to the first immortal sect, Qingling Sect.

But since they didn't even get through the door, there was no way they could have gone undercover.

That's why the Blood Refining Sect sent him to the Gong Clan to assist the original body.

Lin Yuan's gaze finally settled on Ji Lin's attire, which was the uniform of the Gong Clan's guards.

"It seems my junior brother came here today specifically to congratulate me," Lin Yuan said slowly as he walked inside.

At Lin Yuan's prompting, Ji Lin sat down opposite him, speaking in a very soft tone. He said, "Thanks to my senior brother for informing me in advance that the Gong Clan was recruiting guards, I was able to prepare in advance and successfully enter the Gong Clan."

Prepare early?

The Gong Clan's recruitment of guards this time has attracted thousands of people from renowned backgrounds, so early preparations alone won't be of much use.

Lin Yuan didn't take Ji Lin's hypocritical words to heart. Instead, he looked at the familiar timidity in Ji Lin's eyes. The original owner of this body had heard that Ji Lin's cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and was quite wary of his arrival.

But it was seeing Ji Lin's submissive attitude on the day they met that made him completely lower his guard and adopt a superior attitude, speaking freely to Ji Lin.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think to himself: This guy really is one trick that works for him all the time.

However, he simply smiled and replied, "It's good that Junior Brother Ji knows."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin's lips twitched, and a barely perceptible look of resentment appeared on his face.

If Lin Ye hadn't ruined his plans, he would have already joined the Qingling Sect and obtained the Rejuvenation Pearl. How could he have ended up having to put up with the attitude of a mere Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator?

Lin Yuan took in Ji Lin's expression, and he knew better than anyone what kind of viciousness was hidden beneath that disguised face.

The fact that the other party had been so patient suggests that the Blood Refining Sect must have given him a proper response to his previous defeat.

Given this, Ji Lin would certainly not allow this mission to go wrong again, and even if it did, he would definitely not let the blame fall on him.

Lin Yuan was already confident about his current situation, so he stopped beating around the bush with Ji Lin and asked, "I wonder what leads Junior Brother Ji has on this mission?"
