Taoist companion helps me cultivate immortality

Lin Ye waved his hands quickly.

"I'm just a weapon refiner. I don't have the sophisticated attack secrets like you guys."

"I'm not good at fighting, and I'm injured...Fellow Daoist Chen, your invitation really scared me!"

Chen Yan sighed: "What a pity..."

what a pity...

"If I perform well in front of City Lord Xia and am given important positions, I might be exempted from the corvée labor after entering the Nascent Soul stage!"

Chen Yan couldn't help but send another message to persuade him.

Lin Ye said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I wish you success."

Seeing that he really didn't want to go up, Chen Yan said helplessly: "Okay, Brother Lin, just watch how I perform."

......

surface.

The sky was covered with thick clouds, and the giant's body had not yet emerged.

The open-air meeting place was bustling with activity. The mayor of Wanshu City had not yet arrived, but the local big bosses had already gathered.

Lin Ye held the wine glass, thinking silently.

From what Chen Yan said in the voice transmission just now, it can be seen that... at least some cultivators are actually not willing to go to the place where Nascent Soul cultivators gather.

This is information that cannot be obtained through public channels, and a lot can be inferred from it.

One can even see the complete operating logic of the Star Alliance in the Age of Targon.

First of all, no one is stupid. Everyone knows that when fighting against the giant gods, these Nascent Soul cultivators, who are the main force, are likely to sacrifice their lives in some form.

After all, Nascent Soul is the highest level.

It is also the only force that is slightly closer to the giant god.

If not their lives, who else can we use? There are more low-level monks, but the quality of their spiritual energy is far, far behind that of the giant gods...

However, who can force the Yuanying ancestors to sacrifice their lives?

Obviously, the Star Alliance can, they have the means to kill the peak Nascent Soul! If they can't even kill the Nascent Soul, how can they fight the giant god...

But it is impossible to rely entirely on coercion. The Star Alliance will continue to promote it so that most monks will voluntarily sacrifice their lives.

They can do it because they have monopolized education and the media.

In other words, in the process of fighting against the corporate alliance thousands of years ago, the Star Alliance had already formed a tradition of monks protecting the weak.

Now, this tradition has been turned into compulsory military service only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Since the Yuanying ancestors have become sacrifices, the rulers are no longer the strongest cultivators, so who are the rulers...

Lin Ye thought to himself: "They are the descendants of the Yuanying ancestors, right? This is a kind of compensation."

'And those [Sword Holders], the real top level who mastered the method of killing the Yuanying ancestors, should be the earliest batch of strong men.'

'People who were suppressed from the Nascent Soul stage and above back to the Nascent Soul stage.'

'The Age of Giant Gods has lasted for nearly a thousand years, and their lifespans are almost reaching their limit.'

"So they are born to be staunch advocates of war, and it seems that they are the only ones who can hold a sword."

"But these people are too high up, and unlike the later Yuanying ancestors, they did not receive the education of the Giant God Era."

"They will definitely find a way to survive. They will try to be cunning and sly in the battle to eliminate the Titans. This is something the Covenant cannot tolerate. They are an important force in themselves!"

"If you want them to help, you have to make them hand over their swords..."

"The Star Alliance has been operating under the logic of the Titan Age for nine hundred years. I highly doubt that the Swordbearers are no longer the same powerful ones as before."

'It is estimated that when they tried to enter the hibernation chamber, or at some other time, a coup d'état was organized by the young Yuanying ancestors, and the sword was in the hands of their descendants.'

Under the leadership of Boss Ye, Lin Ye met with the other two peak Jindan masters at the table.

After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Ye lowered his head slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

'For the Star Alliance, the Yuanying Patriarch must sacrifice his life.'

'The sword cannot be in their hands.'

"I'm afraid that the sword-wielders who now wield weapons that can kill Yuanying are either descendants of the early sword-wielders, or descendants of the younger ancestors..."

'The sons held their fathers hostage.'

'Just like in this era, the low-level monks have inconceivably held the high-level monks hostage.'

Lin Ye's eyes were sharp and he came to a conclusion in his heart.

The Covenant might perish along with Targon.

Although it is so powerful, everything is based on the threat of the giant god.

Although the Covenant had unified the mortal world before the Targon Crisis, it has now become deformed.

'The great war to destroy the Titans is approaching, and the social structure that the Covenant has managed to maintain will soon come to an end.'

'After the war, if we win, the long-suppressed desires of the strong will be ignited...'

'Perhaps it will cause the Star Alliance to fall apart, or completely burn out the beautiful tradition of helping the weak, ushering in a new era where the strong will take human life lightly.'

"But I suspect that the new era might be called the Endless Fire Region."

'Everyone with a discerning eye knows the current situation, and everyone has their own agenda.'

"There should be many ambitious people hiding under the surface at this time, which is good news for me!"

Lin Ye wanted to verify his speculation and patted Boss Ye.

"Boss Ye."

Lin Ye asked in a voice transmission: "How is the family of our Wanshu City Lord Xia? Is he protected by a Yuanying strongman?"

Boss Ye was stunned for a moment, and finally replied with a smile: "Friend Lin, I thought you didn't care about the current situation..."

"I didn't expect you to see so clearly!"

"Yes, most of the high-ranking officials have a Yuanying Patriarch father or mother."

Lin Ye thought to himself, "Sure enough," and nodded.

Boss Ye said seriously, “But City Lord Xia is different. Her parents seem to be Nascent Soul ancestors, but they are said to have made some great contributions and then died.”

"Although other elders may still take care of us, you know that people forget us when they are gone."

"So as an orphan, City Lord Xia can have the status he has today. I think at least half of it is because City Lord Xia has strong personal abilities. I have seen it before. At that time..."

The words haven't been finished yet.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

A pink-haired girl got off the flying boat and walked towards the venue. Her brisk footsteps were like a wedge driven into the heart. She had a bright smile, was gentle and lovely, and so sweet that she seemed to have no scheming intentions.

The wealthy and powerful people at the venue all bowed.

"The city lord is here!"

Chapter 5: Hehehe, good health! (k)

"We are not an army." Looking at the people saluting in unison, the city lord restrained his smile.

“You are all famous entrepreneurs.”

"It's so serious, I'm worried...it will have a bad influence among the cadres and cause unnecessary reactions in society."

City Lord Xia said slowly.

I didn't expect her to speak so seriously. The wealthy businessmen present couldn't help but sweat slightly, and the accompanying monks also became anxious.

"Your Excellency the City Lord is too kind!"

The solemn atmosphere was broken by the noise. The city lord raised his hand and everyone fell completely silent.

Her tone became a little more relaxed, and she said, "I just came here to chat with you all today. Please take a seat."

Many people breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down.

On the rostrum, City Lord Xia smiled and said, "I miss the time when I was young, when Wanshu City was full of vitality and everything was flourishing.

"It was really good back then... At that time, I had the guest token of Wanbaolou, and I could enjoy discounts at Ye's Business. It was very cheap."

Boss Ye's face changed slightly when he heard this.

At this time, Lin Ye followed Boss Ye and sat at the side of the first row.

The lustful eyes took advantage of her unpreparedness and quickly glanced at the towering peaks on City Lord Xia's chest.

Lin Ye closed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: Don't judge a person by his appearance...

The sea water is immeasurable!

This city lord looks like a naive and innocent young lady.

I originally thought that at her age, no matter what, she was just a scheming child.

Unexpectedly, the sophistication in his speech and conversation gave him the air of a man who had experienced many ups and downs in the political world. He could basically be regarded as an old man transformed into a beautiful girl.

The words are very sharp.

She just used Wanbaolou and Ye's Business as examples, saying that in the past, merchants in Wanshu City had harmonious relations...

Once a big boss thinks back to the past, it means he is dissatisfied with the current situation.

"You are no longer united!" This meaning is the clearest, and it subtly warns the merchants present.

But it can also be extended to mean "calling for unity".

At the same time, he pointed out that he had once been a guest of Wanbao Tower, which also brought the relationship closer.

Lin Ye couldn't help but secretly praise.

'What a good speech! What does she think of me... slurp.'

Everyone here is a human being.

Calling for "unity" at this time is a big deal...

Except for a few peak Jindan masters who had talked with Lin Ye before, most of the participants immediately understood the topic of this meeting.

It’s “that thing before”!

Chen Yan blinked in confusion.

Among the group of old men, there were some ruffians mixed in.

Boss Ye smiled and nodded: "City Lord Xia said it very well, I also miss that time..."

"Unfortunately, Boss Liu is busy with Wanbaolou's affairs and hasn't had a good talk with me in person for a long time."

The final battle against the Titan is still a few decades away at most.

Under the great changes that have not been seen in a thousand years, the competition among all parties has naturally become increasingly fierce. For example, the Wanbaolou branch in Wanshu City and the Ye’s Trading Company have had many open and covert clashes.

Especially recently, in order to snatch the resources that Lin Ye needed, Boss Ye also got really angry.

However, in front of his leader, Boss Ye still used this sentence to pass on the blame.

Building Master Liu frowned slightly and said quickly: "Boss Ye, if you want to discuss business, we can find an opportunity to talk in the near future. Why bother to gossip in front of the city lord?"

At the side, Director Ji, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, said hoarsely, "Since City Lord Xia took office, Wanshu City has indeed changed a lot."

Lin Ye thought to himself:

This is secretly blaming the city lord...

Senior executives from other places are just very courageous!

Boss Ye shot back, "It's time for Wanbaolou to have a good chat with us local businesses. Would Director Ji be willing to come along?"

Liu Branch Building Master coughed lightly and said, "Director Ji is from Wanshu City. He returned home this time with his family and a large-scale inter-city flying boat track project. He will stay here for a long time."

Everyone looked sideways.

This outsider turned out to be one of us?
