Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

"Master Lin..."

Dong Cheng was so excited that his face turned red.

At this moment, I am probably the most prestigious wolf cub in the entire Blackwater City.

Look at the so-called ferocious wolves around them; they don't even dare to look over.

Even though he knew these people were afraid of Master Lin, he still got to experience that feeling himself.

Even tigers have to give Sifang Street some face!

"It's good, the food is quite good. Is there anything else?"

Lin Shu picked up a clean white cloth from the table and wiped her mouth, her face showing little emotion.

Upon seeing this, Dong Cheng was taken aback.

Despite resolving such a major problem out of thin air, Master Lin didn't seem particularly happy.

"That's all, you can go back now." Zhao Ang forced a smile.

He knew more than the ordinary members of the guild and was clear that the other party did not have any so-called powerful background.

Xia Mingtang seemed to have made a deal with someone, so he suppressed his anger and offered some benefits.

Although Zhao Ang did not say it outright, he felt in his heart that this young man was somewhat immature.

Faced with such precious medicine given away for free, one should at least express gratitude.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Lin Shu nodded, got up somewhat lazily, and walked out of Fuman Restaurant.

After he left, the atmosphere in the room became much more harmonious, and everyone instructed the innkeeper to bring out another table of wine and meat.

Yan Jin remained silent for a moment; she hadn't said a word since sitting down at the table.

But it was precisely because of this that she keenly noticed the strange look that had just flashed in the young man's eyes.

He didn't greet anyone.

Yan Jin quietly got up and left the restaurant.

The crowd glanced at her curiously, then quickly looked away.

Hey, now things are even more harmonious.

……

As darkness fell, the streets grew deserted.

Lin Shu strolled along leisurely, stretching as she did so, thinking to herself, "We've eaten and drunk our fill, time to get down to business, right?"

How could a mere door possibly block the spiritual consciousness of this immortal descendant?

"What did I eat?" Yu Sheng was stunned. She had only tasted something through the other person's five senses.

"Besides, I was just following that big-breasted woman's advice and didn't intend to hold it against you, so I just asked you to deliver something..."

The little guy was quite puzzled, but after complaining, he obediently said, "He has the cultivation level of late-stage Qi Refining, but the immortal aura on his body is too chaotic. He probably has no chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in this life. With such a chaotic aura, his skills are probably mediocre, and it's hard for him to have anything worthy of his cultivation level."

Even without being beaten up, her spiritual sense was still quite accurate.

Yu Sheng pondered for a moment: "But his cultivation level is much higher than yours. Although you've managed to figure out half of a third-grade claw technique by guesswork, if you were to actually fight him, you'd be fine to protect yourself, but winning would be a bit difficult."

"..."

Lin Shuxin gently touched the essence blood in her body, withdrawing most of her five senses, maintaining only a level that would allow the other party to help her explore the environment.

The result the cub received was roughly what he had expected.

Gu Nanzhi also said that everyone in the White Tiger Hall was a rogue cultivator.

Although Yu Sheng was unaware that the burial of bones and souls had been successfully completed, the difference was minimal.

The gap in cultivation level is difficult to completely bridge with just one immortal technique.

After thinking it over, Lin Shu narrowed her eyes slightly.

According to Gu Nanzhi, all the cultivators in the city were somewhat insane, making it difficult for the government to control them.

This is actually quite easy to understand.

Take the Purple Dragon Constable as an example; his monthly salary is only forty taels of silver, while a Fierce Wolf of the same cultivation level can earn at least ten or twenty times more.

In this situation, to prevent them from being greedy, we need to use something to deter them.

Will the city be punished by the imperial court after it is opened?

Nobody knows what the future holds, so who cares? If things get too strict, these people might as well just join the Blackwater Gang.

In the same situation, the White Tiger Hall should theoretically be even crazier.

But this tiger surnamed Xia was unusually calm and patient today.

This doesn't mean the other person is rational; it just means that their mindset hasn't been touched.

Liu Zhen's death was only a matter of saving face; what truly drove the tigers mad were the things that affected the elixirs in their furnace.

For example, the "elixir" that he keeps on the street.

"Um?"

Lin Shu slowly stopped and looked behind her.

A figure in a blue robe emerged from the night and stopped a short distance away.

Yan Jin looked up and asked bluntly, "Did she come looking for you?"

"Who?" Lin Shu asked curiously.

"Gu Nanzhi".

"Do you two know each other?"

"We're not very close, but we're from the same family... Don't try to trick me." Yan Jin finally realized what was going on.

She pursed her lips slightly, a hint of displeasure in her voice, and said softly, "I will say what I want to say myself."

The government ignored the matter, and Xia Mingtang refused to show his face. Yan Jin could only think of one person in Blackwater City who could do both of these things at the same time.

"Not very close, but family?" Lin Shu didn't quite understand.

"I'm talking about immortals. She and I both became disciples of the Chen family in Anren Prefecture, Yongzhou. We were from the same school, but we didn't have much contact at the time. We just happened to be trapped here."

"We kept in touch a little more in the city after that, but we weren't particularly close."

Since the person surnamed Gu had already contacted the other party, Yan Jin remained silent for a moment, but did not hide anything, after all, it was not a big deal.

"Are there many immortals here?" Lin Shu noticed a detail.

Both mentioned the immortals, but Yan Jin added Anren Prefecture before the name, while Yu Sheng simply referred to Yongzhou.

If the speaking habits are different, it doesn't seem to flow smoothly.

"Not many, but not few either."

Yan Jin uttered a pointless remark before saying, "The Chen family are merely scattered immortals, incomparable to those half-life immortals..."

"A half-life immortal?" Lin Shu suddenly interrupted.

He had already encountered this title from the hints and from Yu Sheng's previous words.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jin's face showed a strange expression: "They are those beings who are named in the heavens and earth, possess immortal positions, and can even shake the fortune of a state, such as the Yu family of Yongzhou, whose family is the mountain god."

"Oh My God……"

This exclamation did not come from Lin Shu, but rather came from the childish voice that echoed in his mind.

Yu Sheng murmured as if her eyes had been opened: "The Mountain God actually has that much influence!"

Lin Shu's eyes twitched slightly, and she almost laughed out of anger.

I originally wanted to get more information out of Yan Jin, but I didn't expect to get that little chick out of me instead.

No, you're actually surprised?

So all those things they promised back then, like sweeping through Yongzhou, were just pure fabrication, right?

Lin Shu took a few deep breaths, thankful that she hadn't trusted the cub too much back then.

"Can a mere mountain god really shake the fate of an entire prefecture?" He quickly composed himself and asked on Yu Sheng's behalf.

"Yongzhou is mountainous and located on the frontier, with the mountains serving as a natural barrier. My family are mountain gods, and our descendants hold official positions in the court, guarding the frontier and handling many affairs such as salt and iron. Our status is naturally extraordinary."

Yan Jin was unwilling to discuss these well-known matters any further.

She gently shook her head, reorganized her thoughts, took out something from her bosom, and said calmly, "Gu Nanzhi will not kill for you. Since you were able to kill Liu Zhen, I guess you have already entered the mid-stage and have absorbed enough spiritual energy."

"Before the mid-stage of Qi Refining, it can only be called Qi Absorption. Only in the later stage can it be called Qi Refining. This is the process of transferring the immortal affinity into spiritual energy. Once all the spiritual power is imbued with the aura of immortals, one can attempt Foundation Establishment."

"Even without a top-tier cultivation technique, this bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills can help a cultivator refine more than ten strands of Qi. I no longer need it, so I'll give it to you."

Seeing that the young man did not move, Yan Jin added, "I brought it from outside. It wasn't made by the White Tiger Hall, so there's no need to worry about any disgusting things inside."

"Quickly accept it, quickly accept it..." Yu Sheng rolled around on the bed in a panic.

Lin Shu didn't reach out directly; this person acted like a servant boy delivering pills.

The last Qi-replenishing pill could be explained, but this time the pill sounds very precious; there are very few freebies in the world.

"There has to be a reason, right?"

"Given Gu Nanzhi's personality, the fact that she chose to help you means you are useful to her. Besides keeping an eye on this city for her family, there is only one other thing she wants to do."

Yan Jin looked away, and a deep sense of bewilderment appeared in her eyes, which usually held a fierce glint.

"If you find a way, could you... take me out with you?"

"..."

After listening quietly, Lin Shu finally understood the situation.

So this weasel had no idea that Chang Yi had taken the account book.

Seeing that he had just come from the southern suburbs and had managed to get in touch with the county magistrate, he mistakenly thought it was related to the closure of Blackwater City.

After a few breaths, Yan Jin withdrew his gaze, tossed the pill over, and said indifferently, "If it's not true, then I guess I was wrong. Anyway, this thing is useless to me... I hate those tigers. Fortunately, I don't need their inferior pills, so I don't need to associate with them."

"I think you dislike them too."

The woman turned around and walked in the other direction: "If you have any trouble, you can come to me."

This young man was the first person she had ever met in the Blackwater Gang who would show displeasure at the White Tiger Hall's favor.

"So, the cultivation process allows spiritual energy to enter the body, which is why cultivators possess the 'immortal aura' that Yu Sheng mentioned?"

Lin Shuli stood there, stroking the jade bottle in her hand.

So this is what the path is like after the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The fact that this silk-thread wolf says she no longer needs the Spirit Gathering Pill suggests that she has reached the end of her Qi Refining stage.

No wonder I felt such a strong sense of danger emanating from him.

If Yan Jin possesses this level of strength and is willing to reveal it, it could indeed resolve a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu suddenly smiled.

He couldn't really say he hated the tiger.

Lin Shu had already made up her mind when this person dared to target her belongings on Sifang Street.

It's just that it lacks good deeds yet.

The birthday banquet is in three days...

Since everyone in the gang needs to give birthday gifts, we need to figure out what these tigers like best.

After much thought, it all boils down to various kinds of living "precious medicines".

Thinking of this, Lin Shu decisively ignored Gu Nanzhi's reminder.

It's quite satisfying to bully others by invoking the authority of a county magistrate in the Foundation Establishment stage.

But right now, all he wants is to earn this good deed.

Then he went and collected that hefty sum of ill-gotten gains!
