Immortality: Beginning With The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty

Chapter 6: The Old Patriarch's Discovery (Book Update, Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Although Beifeng City is not one of the five major cities on the northern border, it is undoubtedly one of the twelve extremely important checkpoints. The position of the city lord is extraordinary, needless to say.

The power and status need not be mentioned, as they can reflect how much the emperor values it and can also obtain a large amount of resources.

The old man's face was as gloomy as if water was about to drip from it: "I always thought that our enemies were just those who were used to taking advantage of the situation, but they do have some real skills."

"I didn't expect them to be so adept at using cunning and treacherous tricks?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi was only concerned about one thing: "The enemy sent Witch Changbao to pass on the message and collude with the Witch Barbarians. Was he not dealt with afterwards?"

Although it is difficult to see the authentic teachings of the Daoist sects, there are many Independent Cultivators in this world. Some are devoted to the pursuit of the Great Dao in seclusion, while others seek wealth and comfort by joining forces.

Not to mention other families, even the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has invited six Independent Cultivator mages as guest officials to handle matters that ordinary martial artists are not proficient in. Otherwise, the daily medicinal soup that needs to be brewed for nourishing the body is something that ordinary martial artists cannot do.

After hearing Lin Xuanzhi's question, the old patriarch snorted and said, "They may have thought about it, but Witch Changbao's master is Jin Wuzi from the Bai Zuodong of the Yunwu Mountain. That guy is already a high-level expert who has achieved Yin Spirit. Our enemies don't have the guts to offend him."

In the authentic practice of the Daoist sects, it starts from Essence Nurturing, Qi Gathering, and Aperture Entering. Above that are the eight realms of Astral Malevolence, Jade Liquid, Gold Core, Mysterious Light, and Yin Spirit. It can be said that unless one becomes an Essence Soul Perfected Being who can live forever, achieving Yin Spirit is already considered rare in the world.

However, among the Independent Cultivators, most of them have little hope of achieving Essence Soul due to their cultivation methods or personal reasons.

But even if it's just Yin Spirit, one can enjoy a lifespan of 1,600 years and watch the changes in the world.

As a high-level expert at the Divine Will level, the old patriarch's strength is equivalent to the Mysterious Light realm of the Daoist sects, and his strength is not weak.

But when facing cultivators with various means, especially those whose cultivation level is higher than his own, it would be troublesome to deal with them.

At present, the authentic Daoist sects are not appearing, but the small sects of Independent Cultivators in the Divine Continent are still thriving, and it seems that they are even more prosperous than before.

This Jin Wuzi is a well-known expert in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although he has not established a sect, he has built a Cave Mansion on the Yunwu Mountain and has a considerable reputation for accepting disciples.

Lin Xianzhi explained on the side, "I heard from Senior Daoist Xuqing before that although Witch Changbao is only a named disciple of Jin Wuzi, his brother, Witch Yunlong, is Jin Wuzi's direct disciple and reached the Jade Liquid realm many years ago."

Senior Daoist Xuqing is one of the Independent Cultivators that the Lin family invited. He is proficient in talismans, alchemy, and formations.

The talisman technique that Lin Xuanzhi learned was obtained from him, and for this, the old patriarch spent a 900-year-old jade marrow mushroom and a palm-sized piece of purple scar god iron.

Lin Xuanzhi sighed lightly and asked, "Where is Witch Changbao now?"

After drinking a cup of tea, the old patriarch said, "He is in the Divine Capital. Although there are many opportunities in the north, he obviously couldn't endure the hardships and returned three years ago."

He couldn't help but look at Lin Xuanzhi and advised, "Although he is in the Divine Capital, you should not act rashly, Xuanzhi."

"Even if you break through to the Aperture Entering realm, in the eyes of cultivators at that level, you can be easily killed with just a few spells."

"You still need to find the right opportunity."

At the Aperture Entering realm, most spells cannot be directly learned and cast due to the lack of mana.

Of course, if one disregards the foundation, there are also methods that can allow one to cast spells directly.

"I understand, I won't act recklessly," Lin Xuanzhi naturally understood the situation.

The old patriarch has been holding a grudge against the death of his youngest son until now. If there is anyone who wants revenge the most, it is probably him.

But he also understands that although the enemies are not to be feared, there are many people involved, so everything needs to be carefully planned.

"Your older brother said that you unexpectedly discovered a superior cultivation technique in the Hidden Knowledge Pavilion?"

Lin Xuanzhi did not hide anything and immediately told the old patriarch about his discovery in the Hidden Knowledge Pavilion.

After listening, the old patriarch didn't ask for the specifics of how his grandson discovered it, but pondered alone for a long time.

"The 'Eight Scenic Qi Cultivation Technique'..."

"The authentic Daoist sects all have Essence Soul Perfected Beings, and even Pure Yang True Monarchs presiding over them. Nowadays, they are either hidden from the world, isolated by immortal formations, or directly residing in Grotto-Heavens. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find their traces."

"Otherwise, even if I have to lose face, I would send you to one of them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and said, "Grandfather, I have caused you trouble."

Mr. Lin waved his hand and said, "If I don't worry for you, then who will?"

"Although I am not familiar with the Qi techniques you practice, since you have taken an interest in me, I believe they must be exceptional."

"The experts of the Daoist sects are detached from worldly matters and possess extraordinary states of mind. If you have obtained their recognition, it must be your destiny. As long as you don't spread it around, even if it is discovered, it shouldn't be a problem. There is no need to worry too much."

"If anything happens, our family's treasure trove has some things that can be used for exchange."

The Lin family has a history of a thousand years, and Mr. Lin himself has achieved great military feats. Over the years, he has collected many things.

Since Mr. Lin said so, it is likely that the family's treasure trove does indeed have good things!

Lin Xuanzhi chuckled and jokingly said, "Then I will remember your words, Grandfather!"

Lin Xianzhi took the opportunity to say, "Grandfather, don't forget about me too!"

Mr. Lin said irritably, "I'll reward you with a big slap!"

Then he looked at Lin Xuanzhi and said, "Since you have made a breakthrough, you can also use a Law Weapon. I will have someone send it to you later."

As an ancient family, the Lin family naturally possesses divine weapons and Law Weapons.

If it weren't for the fear of being too distracted before entering the Dao, Lin Xuanzhi could have asked Grandfather for two items long ago.

After Mr. Lin finished speaking, he looked at his eldest grandson, Lin Xianzhi, and said helplessly, "The Marrow Cleansing Pill will arrive in a few days. By then, your cultivation should not look too bad."

Lin Xianzhi also knew that his talent in Martial Dao was only ordinary. If it weren't for the support of the large family, achieving Marrow Cleansing at the age of forty would be nothing short of a dream.

For Mr. Lin to reach the level of Martial Dao Divine Will before the age of one hundred was already a rare genius in his youth.

Apart from him, the only one in the entire Zhongyongbo Mansion who has reached the Core Incubation level is the eldest master, Lin Hai. He can fly in the air and has some control over his physical Divine Ability.

Others like Lin Jiang, the second master, and Lin Hu, the fourth master, are both at the Marrow Cleansing and Blood Replacing levels. The fifth master, Lin Wufei, is at the Inner Strength level, just like Lin Xianzhi.

As for the Lin Xuanzhi generation, the eldest brother, Lin Xianzhi, is not too far behind, but the number one expert is Lin Yanzhi from the second branch. He achieved Marrow Cleansing at a young age and is now serving in the Six Gates of the Divine Capital.

"I will not disappoint your expectations, Grandfather. If I go to the front lines, I will definitely not let you down!"

Mr. Lin couldn't help but smash the table and said angrily, "Nonsense! With your small build, just find a way to stay alive. Don't think about saving face for me."

After speaking, he sighed as if he remembered something, "Be more careful when the time comes."

Lin Xianzhi felt ashamed and said, "I understand, Grandfather."

Mr. Lin looked at his eldest grandson, who had grown up as an orphan, and felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

"Xuanzhi, cultivators have long lifespans. In the future, the family will need your care. Help your older brother more."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but console him, "I will do my duty, Grandfather."

"And you still have a long life ahead of you. You will be able to witness your older brother's achievements."

The two brothers knew that their grandfather was in a bad mood, so they couldn't help but try to comfort him.

A Core Incubation martial artist can live for more than two hundred years on average. Mr. Lin, who has reached the Martial Dao Divine Will level, can suppress his own lifespan. It is still possible for him to live for several decades.

For someone who can live for more than a hundred years to say such things, it is clear that he has been stimulated by the actions of Lin Xuanzhi's father.

Mr. Lin helplessly said, "Now that the emperor is sharpening his sword, those barbarians are also becoming restless. We may have to go to war in the next two or three years."

"In a war, not to mention me, even a Law Manifestation Great Grandmaster could lose their life."

The topic of war is naturally heavy, but it is a reality that cannot be avoided. The three of them couldn't help but have a long conversation, and it was late into the night when Lin Xuanzhi and Lin Xianzhi finally left.

However, before leaving, Mr. Lin repeatedly warned them not to act rashly.

"Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the cutting of firewood!"

"Wait for the right moment to strike with a fatal blow!"
