Xiaotian City, located in North State

In the blink of an eye, Lin family has already established themselves in North State for five years. During these five years, all the bandits in North State, especially those at the Soul Changing level, have been killed or injured.

There’s no need to worry about those below the Soul Changing level, but the Lin family hasn’t let them go. They have been continuously hunting them down.

"Landlord, this is this year’s account book."

On that day, Lin Jiang came from Xuanmiao City to Xiaotian City to report to Lin Batian.

"Just give a simple explanation."

"Yes, this year Xuanmiao City received supplies from Xiaotian City…"

Lin Jiang explained in great detail that 80% of the Lin family’s goods in Xuanmiao City came from Xiaotian City, while only 20% were purchased in Xuanmiao City.

Among all the goods, there were various materials from North State, including minerals, materials from mythical beasts, rare spiritual herbs, and so on. More than half of the goods were processed and sold by Lin Dongyan and others, refined into pills, formations, spiritual talismans, magic tools, robes, and other items. The rest were sold directly as raw materials.

Except for a small portion kept in the form of spirit stones, all the profits were converted into resources for their cultivation and distributed to the descendants of the Lin family, especially those hidden in places like Zhongzhou and Bing State. The descendants of the Lin family in those places had very few financial resources and relied entirely on the support from the clan.

Due to the complexity of dealing with various raw materials, Lin Jiang couldn’t accurately calculate how much money was earned in a year. He could only estimate it to be around one hundred million. According to the agreement with Lin Batian, Lin Jiang could take 10% of all the profits, which amounted to ten million per year. This sudden wealth made Lin Jiang rich overnight, even Small Shadiao benefited from it. He could now consume six bottles of Beast Spirit Pill in a year.

Lin Jiang didn’t find this money troublesome. He took care of everything in Xuanmiao City, and there were various complicated matters to attend to, including both legal and shady affairs. It was extremely dangerous.

A company makes a lot of money, but no one knows the exact amount. But they can estimate that the company takes action about ten times a year. Lin Jiang is very careful and doesn’t get tempted by the traps. He has avoided a lot of danger, otherwise he would have been taken advantage of. Not everyone can be as smart as him.

"Okay, this year is better than last year."

Lin Batian nodded after hearing this. Combining the income from Xuanmiao City and Xiaotian City, the Lin family earns over three hundred million every year. And that’s only the official income. He hasn’t even taken into account the money obtained through bribery and corruption by his subordinates. After these four to five years of operation, the Lin family’s wealth is abundant once again.

"All thanks to the wise leadership of the family head."

"Don’t flatter me. You should focus on improving your cultivation. Who knows, maybe I can help you obtain a valuable treasure that helps you in your cultivation."

"Family head, is there any news about the treasure?"

"A little. I will leave Xiaotian City next month."

Lin Batian nodded. After accumulating his wealth for four to five years, he also needs to plan for the future of the family’s descendants.

"Never mind, I’m not in a hurry."

Lin Jiang shook his head, he still had a long way to go to reach the late stage of the golden core. Buying treasures wouldn’t help, it might even be a waste. He decided to wait for the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit from the Five Elements Sect first.

"As you wish, you go rest first."

"Okay."

Lin Jiang quickly left, but he didn’t stay in Xiaotian City.

Although Xiaotian City is a cultivation city, it actually has a small population. Aside from the tens of thousands of bandits recruited by the Lin family and the merchants from the You State, there aren’t many outsiders. Independent cultivators and the like are not welcome in Xiaotian City, it’s basically just a transit point. If you want entertainment, it’s better to go to Xuanmiao City.

"Let’s go, I’ll find a little bird for you."

Lin Jiang patted Small Shadiao’s shoulder and said to him.

"I don’t want it, I’m a serious person."

Small Shadiao rolled his eyes directly. Human fairies are so gentle and understanding, knowing lots of things. What’s so great about a little bird?

"Stop talking, show your true form, and quietly take me to the northernmost place."

"You want to ride me again, but you’re my dad!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll strip you of your fur!"

Lin Jiang became very angry. Small Shadiao was getting more and more arrogant. If his master couldn’t even ride him, then what kind of beast pet was he? He wasn’t going to take this from anyone.

Small Shadiao was on the verge of tears. He just wanted to ride people, not be ridden by them!

However, he had no choice but to follow orders. He secretly took out his diary and wrote about today’s humiliation. He also made a big cross symbol, each stroke representing his endurance of his master’s abuse. He planned to find an opportunity to ride back someday.

Leaving Xiaotian City and heading north, after traveling about five hundred miles, the scenery became a frozen world of ice and snow. The further north they went, the colder it became. It was snowy and icy all year round here.

"Who’s there?"

Not long after, a loud howl echoed, and Lin Jiang was quickly surrounded by people.

"I am one of us."

"Brother Xiao, put it away. Are you blind?"

Lin Jiang presented a token, and the other person quickly recognized Lin Jiang’s identity.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

"I haven’t seen the Human Demon Tribe before, so I came to have a look."

"What’s so interesting about those Human Demons?"

"You guys are tired of seeing them, but I haven’t seen them yet."

"If Brother Xiao wants to have a good time, why come here? Xiaotian City has many, countless tail-wearing girls."

The person said with a lewd expression. At least thirty percent of the Human Demons in North State are from the human race. Sometimes, if the Human Demon Tribe cannot pay tribute, they will use their women to settle the debt, and they will end up in Xiaotian City.

"No need to talk about this, are there a lot of smugglers recently?"

"Yes, when did it ever become less? The Human Demon Tribe always has fearless young people, as well as independent cultivators from places like the You State. No matter how they are warned, they are not afraid. It’s really annoying."

"What does it matter if we die for our own benefit?"

Lin Jiang nodded. The North State is known for its huge profits, and it’s no secret. Many people come here to seek adventure. In the past, these people were killed by the bandits, who never gave them a chance to succeed. Now, it’s the Xiaotian City that kills them.

There are also some people from the Human Demon Tribe who are unhappy about being exploited by the people of Xiaotian City. They want to secretly trade in the You State or even farther away. Once they are discovered, they are killed mercilessly. It can be said that every piece of spirit stone earned by the Lin family in recent years is stained with guilty blood.

But the spirit stones of others are not cleaner than those of the Lin family. No one should mock each other. The Holy Mother cannot live long in the North State.

"That’s true. Then I won’t disturb Brother Xiao anymore. Brother Xiao, continue advancing for about two thousand miles. It’s not advisable to go further. The deeper areas are places we can’t venture into. The Human Demon Tribe there is extremely ferocious, and not even Nascent Soul cultivators dare to easily go deep in."

"Alright, you guys also inform the patrol team behind. Don’t stop me, it’s a waste of time."

Lin Jiang nodded. The bandits surrendered by Xiaotian City have been divided into hundreds of patrol teams, wandering all over the North State day and night. Lin Jiang has already encountered many of them on the way.

Lin Jiang said goodbye to the patrol team and continued on because Small Shadiao’s size meant that the following patrol team wouldn’t bother him anymore.

After traveling thousands of miles, Lin Jiang’s compass suddenly lit up. He quickly found Lin Die following the compass display.

"Auntie Three"

"You finally arrived, I’ve been waiting for a long time."

"Ah, I was busy, but I got everything."

Lin Jiang explained casually, then took something out of the storage bag and handed it to Lin Die for inspection.

"Yes, the items are correct."

"Auntie Three gave instructions, how could it be wrong? Auntie Three, will we really be able to get the Extreme Cold Blue Flame this time?"

"Just follow along."

Lin Die didn’t say much and took Lin Jiang into an ice cave. Inside the cave was very cold water. Even Lin Jiang, with his golden core, could hardly bear the chill. He had to use his spiritual power to keep from freezing.

Following Lin Die, they dived underwater for an hour before resurfacing in an underground cavern. In the cavern, there were several blue flames floating around.

"Can’t go on."

Lin Jiang exclaimed and quickly stuffed a pill in his mouth. Fire spewed from his nostrils, relieving some discomfort. On the other hand, Small Shadiao, didn’t think much of it. Monsters have thick skin and he couldn’t envy it.

"Look, these are the Extreme Cold Blue Flames. They are extremely rare and can’t be bought outside. But here, there are dozens of them and even more inside."

"Third Auntie, we don’t have enough jade boxes."

"No worries, we can come back later."

Lin Die said that the Extreme Cold Blue Flame was a treasure of the North State, with unparalleled value. Lin Die unexpectedly found it here and decided to keep it for herself. If it was turned over to the clan, the one who would benefit the most would be Xiao Lingyue with her ice Spiritual Root. Lin Die didn’t want to see that happen.

"Okay."

Lin Jiang nodded eagerly and looked greedily at the Extreme Cold Blue Flame in front of him. This blue flame looked like fire, but it was actually something extremely cold. For the ice Spiritual Root, this was the ultimate treasure.

"You stay back, I’ll collect these things."

Lin Die asked Lin Jiang to step forward and then wrapped the Extreme Cold Blue Flame with powerful spiritual energy, placing it into a jade box and quickly sealing it.

This thing can only be contained in a special jade box. Ordinary jade boxes or even treasures are useless and will be instantly frozen and possibly freeze the user to death. That’s why Lin Jiang had to go to Xuanmiao City to have it made. This kind of jade box is worth millions of spirit stones.

"There are a total of seven. I’ll give you two, okay?"

"Okay, Third Auntie. It’s fine even if you don’t give them to me."

Without hesitation, Lin Jiang stuffed them into his storage bag, but still had a sheepish expression as he spoke.

"Third Auntie, Third Auntie."

Small Shadiao also immediately started acting spoiled. It wanted a share too. Don’t forget about it.

"Lin Cong, you don’t need it, go back and ask Lin Wu for two bottles of Beast Spirit Pill."

"Auntie Three…"

"Five bottles."

"Auntie Three."

"Alright, let’s stop here."

Lin Jiang directly restrained Small Shadiao. Don’t take advantage, just a little benefit is enough, making Small Shadiao furious, with even more strokes needed.

"Let’s go."

Lin Die acted decisively, once she got something good, she immediately left.

They returned to the surface, but didn’t go far when Lin Jiang and the others sensed a surge of spiritual awareness coming.

"It’s the Human Demon Tribe, and that place is their sacred land."

"Will they fight?"

"What do you think?"

"Ah."

"You go first, remember, don’t stop. I’ll go meet them."

Lin Die said, Lin Jiang nodded, and urged Small Shadiao to run faster. It was time for him to show his speed.

"Leave our sacred object."

Lin Die couldn’t stop everyone, and soon someone appeared in front of Lin Jiang.

"Small Shadiao, speed up as much as you can, so they can’t see your tail."

"No problem"

Small Shadiao saw that the enemy chasing him was very powerful, so he didn’t dare to stay and fight. He quickly flapped his large wings and disappeared. The chasing soldiers behind him were so angry that they stomped their feet.
