Chapter 60

"Boom!"

With a forceful punch from Lin Jiang, a big hole appeared in the surrounding wall. Both yards of the houses merged together, making it look much more spacious. Lin Jiang walked out through the hole, and Cao Ying, Zhang Ruifang's daughter, saw him. She smiled and opened her arms, wanting a hug. She really likes Lin Jiang, the uncle who always brings her delicious treats whenever he visits.

Lin Jiang effortlessly picked up Cao Ying, played with her for a while, and gave her some jerky to nibble on. Zhang Ruifang also came out from the room.

"Are you really planning to stay indoors for a whole year?"

Zhang Ruifang asked Lin Jiang, who came to her next door yesterday, telling her that he won't be going out for the next year, he wants to hide first and then decide.

Zhang Ruifang found it somewhat unbelievable, is there really someone who can stay at home for a whole year like in the Qi Refining Period?

"Not going out, it's too dangerous outside. Let's hide for a year first, we don't have to worry about food and drink, it doesn't matter."

"What about your income?"

"It's alright, I can still make money by drawing talismans. I have paid the rent for three years. I will make plans after one year."

Lin Jiang said, it's too dangerous outside, even the Dark Night Organization has come looking for him. He can only endure and wait, endurance is the way of a king.

As for income, Lin Jiang thinks it doesn't matter. His annual expenses are just a bit over 20,000. If he saves a little, doesn't use the Spirit Gathering Formation, and takes fewer elixirs, several thousand spirit stones are enough. His savings can last him for a few more years.

Besides, he has bought a large amount of talisman paper and talisman paint. He can continue to draw spiritual talismans and sell them slowly later on. If things don't work out, he can sell them to the shops. At worst, he'll make a little profit, he won't go bankrupt or starve to death.

"I'm sorry for involving you."

"No need to say that, if you say it, it will count as paying back Cao Yang, don't go out anymore, call me if you need anything, the kids can visit each other, give them more space to play."

(Translated by Gravity Tales ????)

"I know, I won't go out."

Zhang Ruifang said. Now it's very dangerous outside, for the sake of the children, she won't go out either.

Lin Jiang nodded, didn't say anything else, put the child down, tidied up some bricks, then went home.

······

"Bird, I want to ride a bird, fly ····"

Half a year later, Cao Ying chased Big Bird and Small Bird all over the yard, Big Bird and Small Bird ran ahead, she chased after them, and when she caught them, she climbed onto the back of the bird, pretended to be riding a horse.

"Chirp chirp ···"

This time, Cao Ying caught Big Bird, it came to Lin Jiang's doorstep, kept making noise, and looked quite dissatisfied, as if saying, "Hurry up and take care of the child, if you don't, I'll throw her down."

"Here's some jerky as a reward. Don't bother me anymore."

Without looking back, Lin Jiang threw a piece of jerky. Big Shadiao opened its mouth to catch, but Cao Ying also reached out her hand, trying to snatch it with her beak. Big Shadiao got scared and swallowed it in one gulp.

Big Shadiao missed the old days when it couldn't finish eating all the jerky and had a variety of other foods to add some flavor. But for the past six months, its main food has been the Inedia Pill, and the jerky has become just a way to add some flavor. Its quality of life has dramatically declined, it's just too miserable.

"Bad bird, not giving me meat to eat."

After exchanging the money, Lin Jiang found a nice restaurant and had a big meal. Once satisfied with food and drink, it was time for something else.

Don't get the wrong idea, Lin Jiang just wanted to go to Spring Coming Tower or Baihua Tower to discuss the true meaning of life, important matters in the human world, and the principles of the heavens.

It wasn't until two days later that Lin Jiang walked out of the gates of Spring Coming Tower, while complaining, "The chairs in Spring Coming Tower are too hard, my back hurts. I'm never coming back."

Lin Jiang took a stroll in South City Market. He couldn't see many familiar faces anymore, but he didn't have the intention to set up a stall for now. Lin Jiang's distinctive features were too obvious. He only set up his stall for less than four hours a day, afraid of being recognized.

After buying some meat and snacks, Lin Jiang returned home. He gave the meat to Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao. They had a tough year, not only did they not eat much good food, but they were also tortured by Cao Ying.

The snacks are for Cao Ying. The little one has grown a lot in size and has become more lively. The closed environment hasn't affected her personality at all.

"What's happening outside?"

"I haven't heard from any of our old acquaintances. I still haven't found any news about them."

"Are you still going to set up a stall?"

"I'm not going for now. Let's decrease the quantity for now. We'll supply to the store in the future."

"If you're looking for a store, I know a few with a good reputation. They have been run by several generations. I can introduce them to you."

"Sure, reliability is the most important. Half of the small stores in Yunzhong City are dishonest."

Lin Jiang said, "The life of the common people in the cultivator world is extremely difficult. It forces them to resort to unscrupulous methods. I estimate that at least half of the stores are involved in illegal activities."

"I know, the ones I'm recommending won't be like that. They have a great reputation."

"That's okay, what about you, what will you do in the future?"

"I want to go and look for Cao Yang."

"I'll take care of this, and give him a proper burial."

"Thank you very much."

"What will we do in the future?"

Lin Jiang asked again, there were some things he couldn't say face to face, it would seem selfish because he wanted to get rid of Zhang Ruifang and her daughter.

He didn't have any improper thoughts about them, he also promised Cao Yang, staying by his side would become a burden for Lin Jiang, and it might attract the attention of the Dark Night Organization again. Dark Night Organization already had one of their Building Foundation Period members die at his hands, maybe next time a more skilled person would come.

"I'm not sure, but I should leave Yunzhong City. The Dark Night Organization operates near Yunzhong City, and I don't want to provoke them."

Zhang Ruifang said, if she was found by the Dark Night Organization, it would be certain death for her, and her daughter would also suffer. They would be adopted by the Dark Night Organization, and if they didn't have Spiritual Roots, they would be disposed of. Even if they had Spiritual Roots, their future would be filled with tragedy.

"Hide for a while longer, I will gather some information for you. Once you decide where to go, I will take you there. The Aurora falcon is very fast, and it's not easy for the Building foundation to catch up."

Lin Jiang said, "The Aurora falcon is at the mid-stage of the second level. Unless someone has practiced a special body technique, within the Building Foundation Period, I'm afraid no one can catch up. The Aurora falcon is famous for its speed."

"Alright, I'll think about it."

Zhang Ruifang said, with the help of the Aurora falcon, things would be much easier. With increased speed, she could quickly escape from Yunzhong City.
