Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 257:

Bing State, Wilderness.

The Soul Changing cultivator of the Spiritual Moon Sect listened to their conversation with surprise and anger. Unable to hold back, he scolded. Xiao Lingyue, are you taught by the sect to degrade yourself like this?

Her anger was not unfounded. The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Moon Sect was equivalent to the Chief of the Shenmu Sect. In other words, Xiao Lingyue was a senior disciple of the Spiritual Moon Sect in the Nascent Soul realm. She was supposed to be an example for the sect, but now she was being given away to Duanmu Ling. What happened to the proper marriage? Why did she willingly give herself to a stranger?

"Master, it seems that you have really grown old and forgotten what the sect has taught us."

Instead of being affected by her master’s scolding, Xiao Lingyue let out a cold laugh.

The world of cultivators was never easy. Independent cultivators had their own hardships, and disciples of major sects had their own struggles. Xiao Lingyue grew up in the Spiritual Moon Sect, where competition and internal conflicts started from the beginning.

She has seen all kinds of conspiracies, been manipulated by others, and manipulated others herself. She knew a long time ago that the cultivation world only values strength and benefits, not personal relationships.

Although Duanmu Ling is talented, Xiao Lingyue doesn’t like him because she thinks his cultivation progress has been too smooth. The Du Family has a strong presence in the Shenmu Sect, and Duanmu Ling has never faced any hardships. Xiao Lingyue has seen many people like him in the Spiritual Moon Sect – they lack determination and cannot go far. They are just privileged young masters, unlike her who climbed up from the bottom as a cultivator.

"Evildoer…"

"Um, can you guys hold on for a moment? If you want to argue, do it at home. Give me the beast pet, I need to go home."

Lin Batian couldn’t bear it anymore. He didn’t want to hear about your petty quarrels. He just wanted to take the beast pet and go home.

"Excuse me, Taoist friend…"

"Shut up! If you don’t hand over the beast pet now, I will kill you both."

Lin Batian showed his killing intent directly. He was truly angry.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingyue took off her Spirit Beast Bag from her waist and threw it to Lin Batian. But at the same time, she sent him a voice transmission, saying, "Taoist Friend Lin, help me break free. I have a Pure Yin Body."

Lin Batian took the Spirit Beast Bag and upon hearing this, his eyes grew wide. He looked Xiao Lingyue up and down, while the cultivator from Spiritual Moon Sect, who practiced Soul Changing technique, although he didn’t hear what Xiao Lingyue said, already guessed it.

"Boom"

Lin Batian suddenly thrust his spear towards the cultivator from Spiritual Moon Sect, but she was faster. She simply dodged and retreated, avoiding the spear.

"Mr. Lin, how dare you…"

"What’s there to be afraid of? You, keep blabbering. I’m angry now. I’ll kill you."

Lin Batian prepared to fight again, wielding his spear to slay this person, but the cultivator from Spiritual Moon Sect immediately activated a secret technique, causing her figure to disappear, leaving Lin Batian with nothing to attack.

"Mr. Lin, just you wait!"

"I will not change my name or family, I am from the Lin family of the Qing State. I am waiting for you in Qing State."

Before leaving, the cultivator from the Spiritual Moon Sect left a harsh message. Lin Batian was not afraid at all and introduced himself, but he didn’t know how the Lin family of Qing State would react.

"Is the taoist friend from one of the four big families?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyue became even more delighted. The four big families, with their ancient lineage and immense strength.

"Of course, have you seen it? The Slaying God Spear, a secret technique passed down in the Lin family."

"I know about the Lin family’s Slaying God Spear."

Xiao Lingyue nodded. She had never seen the secret techniques of the four big families, but she had heard of their great reputation.

"Haha, it’s good that you know. I have more than just one spear."

"Anything else?"

"Of course, you’ll find out then. The Lin family’s descendants have always been skilled in using spears."

"May I have a look?"

"Haha, no rush, no rush. Taoist Friend Xiao, if you follow me in the future, you won’t have to worry about being chased by the Spiritual Moon Sect. It’s just a small sect, right? I’ll take care of it. I will destroy Xu Mingyue and make you the leader of the Spiritual Moon Sect."

"Taoist Friend Lin is joking. Xu Mingyue is a powerful Tao Achieving Realm."

"Is the Tao Achieving Realm really that impressive? I have killed Tao Achieving Realm before, Taoist Friend Xiao doesn’t know. Several decades ago, I already killed one."

"Um…"

Xiao Lingyue is somewhat skeptical. She is also a dedicated cultivator and most of her energy is devoted to cultivation, so she doesn’t pay much attention to the outside world. She doesn’t even know that Lin Batian killed Tao Achieving with the Divine Fruit.

"Taoist Friend Xiao, nice to meet you. I don’t have any formal gifts to give, but how about we hunt a 5th-level monster together as a greeting?"

"Hmm, that might not be a good idea."

Xiao Lingyue is shocked. Is it really that easy to hunt down a 5th-level monster? It’s an extremely valuable treasure.

"Watch my skills!"

Lin Batian was very confident. Because the girl admired strong people, he wanted to show his strength and believed he could succeed.

········

"The people from Spiritual Moon Sect ran away."

Inside the Wilderness stronghold, Lin Die walked in and spoke to Lin Jiang.

"Why did the people from Spiritual Moon Sect run away?"

"I don’t know. They seemed very afraid of me. When they saw me, they had a terrified expression, and everyone left like they were escaping."

"Could something have happened in the Wilderness? Maybe something with the head of the family…"

"Don’t worry, you know how powerful my dad is. Even if Void Achieving came, they might not be able to kill him, let alone Soul Changing. I’ve already sent him a Sound Passing Talisman, he just hasn’t replied yet."

"That’s true, but for safety’s sake, I think we should hide first and then decide."

Lin Jiang said he didn’t know what happened, but the people from the Spiritual Moon Sect ran away, and he felt unsafe.

"There’s no need for that."

"The Spiritual Moon Sect is a big sect too. If they send someone like a Soul Changing or even a Void Achieving or Tao Achieving, we could be in trouble."

"When did you become so timid? The Spiritual Moon Sect only has two or three Void Achieving experts, and they’re busy guarding important areas. They wouldn’t easily mobilize. Besides, even if they come, what does it have to do with us?"

"I’m just being cautious."

Lin Jiang said that as one grows older in the martial arts world, they become more cautious. He wasn’t young anymore, so it was only natural to be careful.

"You’re mistaken."

Lin Die ignored Lin Jiang. With her sister by her side, what was there to be afraid of?

"Third Sister, Lin Wu, Lin Cong are back."

"Tiny Shadiao"

Lin Jiang immediately sensed the presence of Tiny Shadiao and quickly went outside. He saw Tiny Shadiao beside Lin Ying, who was currently being scolded by Big Shadiao by twisting its ear.

"Sis, sis, be gentle, my ear will be gone!"

"Dad, help me!"

Tiny Shadiao cried and howled like a ghost. Lin Jiang couldn’t bear to see it, so he went over and rescued Tiny Shadiao.

"Tiny Shadiao, why are you back? Where is the family leader?"

"The family leader and the wicked woman went to hunt down a fifth-level monster."

"Who is the wicked woman?"

"The wicked woman who caught me! It’s Xiao Lingyue. She is very wicked and even desires my body!"

"What’s going on? What happened?"

Lin Jiang was completely confused. Wasn’t Lin Batian supposed to capture Xiao Lingyue with the Spiritual Moon Sect’s Soul Changing cultivator? How did it turn into Lin Batian and Xiao Lingyue hunting down a fifth-level monster?

"I don’t know either. I was captured inside the Spirit Beast Bag. Oh, by the way, Third Auntie, this is a letter from the head of the family for you."

Small Shadiao took out a Sound Passing Talisman and handed it to Lin Die. Lin Die scanned it with his spiritual awareness, and his face instantly lit up with excitement.

"What did Dad say, Third Sister?"

"Let’s leave first, and we can discuss it outside of the Wilderness."

"Why, Third Sister?"

"Don’t ask questions. Let’s leave first and then talk."

Lin Die shook his head, and everyone quickly left the Wilderness base and flew back to Shenmu City. Shenmu Sect and Spiritual Moon Sect had already cut ties and become enemies. It was safe here.

"Third Sister, can you tell us what happened now?"

"Dad, it seems like Xiao Lingyue was taken in."

"Killed?"

"No, taken in, literally."

"What?! That old man, how could he do this?"

Lin Ying became instantly angry. They were all three or four hundred years old, and now someone was trying to find them a mother?

"Men, they only behave when they’re buried in the ground."

Lin Die was also seething with anger, then glanced at Lin Jiang.

"I’m talking about you, Small Shadiao. If you don’t behave, you’ll be gone in a snap."

Lin Jiang quickly shouted at Small Shadiao in anger. Small Shadiao looked confused. What does it have to do with him that the head of the family is finding a woman?

"Third Sister, I don’t agree with this. You go tell Dad that if he dares to bring a woman home, I will run away from home and never come back."

"Don’t be silly."

"I’m not being silly. It was okay before, with so few descendants of the Lin family, and now we don’t need any more siblings he fathered. If he keeps having more brothers and sisters for us, our home will be in chaos."

"Ah, I have a headache too."

"Anyway, this is my stance. If she’s here, I won’t be, and if I’m here, she won’t be. Let the old man choose."

Lin Ying was very firm in her attitude. Lin Batian didn’t care much about his wife and children. Even the few wives and concubines he had were taken care of by her older brother until their last days.

Even they, the girls, only started receiving attention slowly after the Lin family’s second generation began to decline. And now, they come again. Lin Ying is the first one who refuses to accept it.

Lin Jiang stood awkwardly on the side, not daring to speak. He didn’t know how it happened, but everything has completely changed.
