Outside Qingzhushanfang City, the spirit ship broke through the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight. At this time, the major forces below all looked at each other.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you still look the same after so many years."
"Haha, I have long said that Fellow Daoist Lin is not a mortal. Look how long it has only taken."
Foundation-building monks from all forces came forward to compliment Lin Changan with smiles. Even the head of the Zhou family, the dominant beast-controller in Qingzhu Mountain, had a smile on his face.
Nowadays, Lin Changan's background and identity are no longer something they can touch. No one is a fool. If anyone touches someone at this time, the entire city's power combined may not be enough to bury him with him.
Foundation-building monks are earth emperors here, but nothing outside.
"Fellow Taoists, how about we get together at Shengxian Tower tomorrow?"
Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Changan responded with a smile, and he also did not forget to pretend to be a big person again.
After everyone heard the three words "Shengxian Tower", the respect in their hearts became more solemn. At this time, no one would doubt that Lin Changan dared to speak nonsense.
Shengxian Tower is the property of Tianxuan Palace. This shows that Lin Changan can use Shengxian Tower to either climb up to Tianxuan Palace or join it.
This is really something I can't afford to offend.
"Shengxian Tower, then we have to make good preparations for Fellow Daoist Lin."
"Yes, yes, this is what my Li family is best at."
The head of the Beast Control Zhou family stepped forward, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you give me a few more days to prepare properly?"
The temptation between words was clearly a tactic to drag troops away. For a moment, the other forces secretly cursed, the old guy is so cunning, and he clearly wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to pay bribes.
However, faced with the probing words from the beast-controlling Zhou family, Lin Changan shook his head with melancholy.
"I believe you all know about the border affairs. Now that I am familiar with Daoist Brother Kong, I have the opportunity to take charge of the recruitment rights of our Qingzhu Shanfang City. This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. Tomorrow, Shengxian Tower will not only be with you. When our fellow Taoists gathered together, we discussed and decided on the recruitment of monks."
Lin Changan's words also hit home. The Peng family is going to counterattack, and the four major families are going to fight. How can they let them watch the show if they are going to fight from above?
Recruiting monks from various major cities is not just the practice of the Miaowa Kingdom. This is basic common sense in the world of immortality. It is done by any sect force.
"It's really hard work for Fellow Daoist Lin."
"Fellow Daoist Lin is really worried about our Qingzhu Shanfang City."
They were obviously here to cut the flesh and bleed it, but in the end, all these people had to force themselves to smile and flatter each other, saying that this was because their arms couldn't twist the thighs, so they had no choice but to do so.
"Brother Lin."
At this time, Murong Yue walked forward with a smile on her face. Lin Changan made a gesture with his eyes. Murong Yue immediately understood and waved to the elite disciples of the sect brought behind him.
"What are you still doing? Load all these goods onto the carriage."
In an instant, the monks from the sect hurried forward to carry it one by one. Lin Changan felt a little strange at first, but then he understood.
He was already used to it in Tianyuan City. No matter where he went, there were flying magic weapons, and there were even special flying spirit beasts to carry goods.
At the moment, in Qingzhushanfang City, a foundation-building monk is the overlord. In the later stage of Qi training, he is an elder-level presence in the sect. Flying magic weapons are extremely rare.
Although this horse was no longer an ordinary horse, Lin Changan still felt unbearable to look at it as boxes of heavy goods loaded onto the carriage.
"Let's go."
Regarding this scene, Lin Changan shook his head for a while, and the gap in his heart was too big.
When he returned to Qingzhushanfang City again, he was greeted by all forces, and a group of monks in the entire city looked at him with envy.
Lin Changan, the original legend, is back again, this time even more than before. He has become the protagonist. Surrounded by all the forces, he is like a star.
"Who is this? So majestic?"
"That's it, the heads of the major families can greet him personally. Look! What a good guy, even the beast-controlling Zhou family is half down."
"You two are outsiders. This is the headmaster of Jianmen, our legendary foundation-building monk 'Lin Chang'an' from Qingzhu Mountain."
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd. Lin Changan's deeds more than ten years ago were once again unearthed, and he became a figure that countless local monks yearned for.
Patrol House.
"Meet the Headmaster."
In the main hall, all the disciples of Jianmen saluted and shouted respectfully. Some of them knew each other and some did not know them very well. However, at this moment, Lin Changan's eyes were looking around in a daze.
This familiar scene suddenly seems to have only been more than ten years ago. The trees in the yard are thicker and the branches and leaves are more lush. But other things do not seem to have changed much.
"Haha, I didn't expect that after so many years of separation, nothing has changed here."
Lin Changan chuckled casually and said, at this time Qi Feng bent down slightly and laughed: "Brother Lin, everything here is still exactly the same as when you were here, we haven't moved."
The rest of the people also nodded and sighed. For some reason, there was an unnatural sense of distance on everyone's faces this time. Maybe it was because of the gap in status and strength, or maybe the past ten years had diluted the familiarity. Feel it.
"Brother Lin, you don't know how much they miss you." At this time, Murong Yue also said with a smile, and Lin Changan also smiled and nodded to everyone.
However, looking at the heartfelt respect under the familiar faces and the unbreakable sense of distance, Lin Rang Changan sighed secretly. Time has passed and nothing has changed in just over ten years, but in fact everything has changed. Everything has changed again.
Time flies, time flies, I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and I am very emotional when I return to my hometown!
"Brother Lin, Qi Feng, Li Han and Zhang Qing were happy for several days when they heard the news that you were coming back. Today they even prepared a feast for you."
Murong Yue said teasingly, not mentioning anything about herself, while Zhang Qing below also smiled flatteringly, "Headmaster likes to listen to music, I specially prepared the best one here for you."
"That's right, there are also spiritual wine and spiritual meat. What are you still doing? Put them on the table."
Suddenly, the patrol house became lively, but this excitement gave Lin Changan the feeling of a gap.
He knew that this was all caused by the changes in identity, status, and strength. No matter how familiar they were, people would have a sense of respect for the strong in their hearts that they would not dare to offend easily. This was also the reason for this gap.
"Okay, I have missed our Qingzhushanfangshi Qu very much these years."
Lin Changan also nodded with everyone with a smile on his face, and the people below who made these preparations secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear of making him unhappy.
However, Lin Changan doesn't like listening to music, drinking spiritual wine, or eating spiritual meat. These are all illusions he deliberately created in order to live a better life.
Although he didn't need to do this deliberately at the moment, he still smiled and nodded with everyone.
Maybe he misses the time when he was walking on thin ice, or maybe he misses the hardships along the way, and doing this a little bit can help him find a trace of the past.
The Patrol Mansion was brightly lit that night, and the major forces in Qingzhu Mountain were also awake all night. Not only them, but almost all the monks were worried.
The news that the Peng family is leading the alliance of casual cultivators to counterattack the four major families has long spread throughout the Miaowa Kingdom, and orders to recruit cultivators have been passed down from above.
The natural priority for this unfortunate situation is that they, the casual cultivators, are being used as cannon fodder. As for escaping? Anyone who dares to run away at this juncture will not be given a chance to catch you. If you are lucky, you will be dragged to the border. If you are not lucky, you will sit on the ground and share the spoils.
On the second day, the entire Shengxian Tower in Qingzhushanfang City was opened, and the noise was no different from when the Holy Envoy came down from above.
First, clean water was poured onto the street, and then the entire street of Shengxian Tower was blown by the pure breeze technique. It can be said that the entire street in Shengxian Tower was spotless.
"Come on, please come, Fellow Daoist Lin."
Although they were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lin Changan's status among everyone was obviously higher than that of one or two. Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators from major forces took the lead and bent down with smiles on their faces.
When he stepped into the hall again, Lin Changan's face was full of melancholy, "It's still the same as before, it hasn't changed."
In the main hall, cloud-top sandalwood is used as beams, crystal jade is used as lamps, pearls are used as curtains, and Fan Jin is used as the pillar foundation. It is supported by eight huge red pillars. Each pillar is engraved with a circling and lifelike golden dragon, which is particularly spectacular.
The white jade-paved ground beneath his feet shone with a warm light. As everyone sat down at the Wind Cleansing Banquet, Lin Changan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It really hasn't changed at all in these years.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please come."
After entering Shengxian Tower, the major forces greeted each other with smiles on their faces. Lin Changan, who had seen a lot of things in Tianyuan City over the years, did not have any stage fright. He even smiled casually, nodded, and walked directly to sit down. Go up to the top.
Now he is doing his part in this position. As for being modest? If two people are of similar status, they can be modest, but if the gap has widened, then being modest is too much.
"Everyone, please sit down together."
After Lin Changan sat down, he waved to everyone with a smile on his face. At this moment, everyone on the left and right below began to take their seats.
As for the young people brought by the major forces, not only were they not angry at all at this moment, they even showed signs of flattery. Now that Lin Changan was recruiting monks on behalf of the four major families, it meant that the force had offended him, and he could It's easy to make this force unlucky.
When Lin Changan lowered his head, he saw amber wine, jasper glasses, gold-footed bottles, and jade plates on the jade table. The food was picturesque, the wine was like a fountain, and the guqin was playing and the bells were tinkling in the hall.
Graceful girls danced to the music in the palace, and Lin Changan, who was sitting at the top, started the banquet with everyone with a smile on his face.
"Come on, Lin has been away from home for many years and it is rare to come back. I would like to toast you all with this glass."
"How dare you? It should be our fellow Daoist Jinglin who does it."
At the banquet, Li Han, Qi Feng and others below were filled with emotion.
"Brother Qi, I never thought that we would still be here today."
Looking at Lin Changan, who was surrounded by stars and the moon, Li Han couldn't help but feel a flash of loneliness in his eyes, and then he started teasing Qi Feng beside him while holding a wine glass.
But the rich Qi Feng smiled and nodded after seeing this, "Yes, when we first came here more than 20 years ago, who could have imagined today."
There is also Zhang Qing, whose cultivation is still stuck at the sixth level of Qi training. His temples are already gray, and he looks at Lin Changan sitting at the top, and he doesn't know what he feels in his heart.
"So you've come this far."
Finally, Zhang Qing murmured to himself, thinking of the ups and downs in the past few decades, and finally laughed at himself and thought to himself: "Elder Lu didn't expect that what you worked so hard to achieve, would be so easily accomplished. People made it.”
This time Jianmen was sitting in the front, just looking at Yushou himself. In the past, Jianmen's strength and foundation were still not enough, but now the tide is rising.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, the situation in Miaowa Country is in turmoil this time. What about recruiting monks to go to the border?"
After three rounds of drinking, the head of the Zhou family couldn't help but smile. He was the first to stand up, pick up the wine glass and ask a tentative question, which also made countless monks in the hall look sideways.
The most critical issue in this banquet is the recruitment of monks. A slight mistake will change the situation of the entire Qingzhu Shanfang City.
This is also the biggest concern for everyone.
Lin Changan, who was sitting at the top, raised his eyebrows and looked around everyone with a smile. This place was considered far away from all the forces in Qingzhu Shanfang City.
"Everyone, the recruitment of monks at this border is a matter for the higher ups. I just happened to come back and take them with me. As for this person, I'm not sure."
I saw Lin Changan narrowing his eyes, looking at everyone with a smile and saying: "You must also understand that this time the loose cultivator alliance led by the Peng family is coming fiercely. Although our place is still a little far from the border, the superiors have also spoken and selected cultivators. The strength cannot be too low.”
Lin Changan's words directly made everyone present feel a thump in their hearts, and they all looked at Lin Changan eagerly.
Lin Changan's words have almost made it very clear. The monks in the early stage of Qi training are not favored by the higher authorities, so they naturally have to transfer the monks in the middle stage of Qi training.
In the middle stage of Qi training, the four major families in Tianyuan City and Miaowa Kingdom are the lowest level of cannon fodder, but in this spiritually poor place, they are completely the backbone of the major forces.
This is no longer bloodletting, but equivalent to cutting their flesh.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn, and everyone's faces were a little ugly, but Lin Changan slowly picked up the jade bottle and took a sip.
After seeing this scene, the head of the Zhou family, who was following the beast master, seemed to have thought of something. He immediately stood up and laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I see you have brought a lot of goods when you come back this time?"
Not only did Lin Changan not hide it when he came back this time, but he deliberately publicized it, especially for that batch of goods. Everyone was not a fool. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
When Lin Changan saw that the head of the Zhou family was so wise, he immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"This is not a border friction. I am worried about my hometown and risking my life to come back. I also want to contribute to my hometown. This time I came back with some medium-grade magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, materials, etc...."
As Lin Changan looked like he couldn't leave his hometown and was even risking his life, many people present had dull eyes.
How can people be so shameless!
This is obviously here to make war fortune, what kind of homeland is it that is hard to leave!
Chapter 2 will be updated around 9:30.
