#151 - Depressed Elder
Cang Du had long anticipated Liang Jin's question.
He replied:
"In the Western Desert, I cannot give you any promises."
"But if things succeed, and you are willing to return to Great Qian with me, then in Great Qian I can give you everything you desire!"
"Within the borders of Great Qian, whether you want to be an official, desire wealth, or want martial arts manuals, rare treasures, or peerless beauties, I can give them all to you."
Liang Jin slightly shook his head upon hearing this.
Cang Du's words were too full, yet too empty.
"Forget it, I'll look for someone else then."
"I've disturbed Young Hero Meng today."
Saying that, Cang Du stood up, preparing to take his leave.
Just as Cang Du was about to leave.
Liang Jin suddenly spoke:
"Lord Cang, why the rush to leave?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't help with this matter."
Cang Du couldn't help but feel surprised upon hearing this.
He was also aware that his greatest advantage was his power and influence in Great Qian.
But in the Western Desert, he really couldn't bring Liang Jin anything directly useful, so he didn't force the issue.
However, Liang Jin's attitude made him unable to figure out the situation for a moment.
Liang Jin said:
"I have some friends in Great Qian, and they sometimes encounter some trouble."
"If Lord Cang can help them solve their problems, then I will definitely assist you with all my strength this time."
Liang Jin's incarnation didn't need Cang Du's power in Great Qian.
But his main body and other incarnations could use it.
Especially this time, Cang Du's opponent had poisoned Liang Jin's home; if Liang Jin hadn't had the [Hundred Poisons Immunity] trait, he would have been poisoned to death along with everyone else.
This had angered Liang Jin, and he wanted to avenge this.
Cang Du was slightly stunned.
For the sake of friends?
In Cang Du's view, Liang Jin was someone who only cared about benefits, would such a person go to great lengths for friends?
But when he looked at Gao Hongzhe, he seemed to understand something.
Cang Du had also heard some things about Gao Hongzhe and Liang Jin.
Knowing that the two were close friends, and Liang Jin had been working hard to help Gao Hongzhe.
"Could it be that I misjudged him?"
Cang Du couldn't help but wonder secretly in his heart.
He began to think that Liang Jin might not be the kind of person who only sought benefits.
Since Liang Jin had a reputation for chivalry, then perhaps he was truly someone who put righteousness first.
Of course, as someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Cang Du was full of suspicion about everything.
He didn't completely trust Liang Jin and remained vigilant.
Immediately, Cang Du said:
"That's not a problem."
"We can agree on a code or token."
"After I return to Great Qian, if your friend comes to find me with the token, I will definitely help with all my strength."
"I also know that this is just an empty promise, but as long as Young Hero Meng is willing to believe in Cang, Cang will definitely not let Young Hero Meng down."
Cang Du had lived in the Embroidered Uniform Guard for a long time and had already developed the habit of not trusting anyone.
Subconsciously, he would also judge others by himself.
But now, he was also aware that the conditions he had given were really difficult to convince people.
So Cang Du was already prepared to be rejected.
But who knew.
Liang Jin immediately decided:
"Then it's a deal."
This time, it was Cang Du who felt surprised.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then solemnly cupped his fist towards Liang Jin.
Now, all he could do was this.
Afterward, Cang Du immediately stated the route:
"Tomorrow morning, we will set off immediately."
"First go to Flowing Sand City, then to Hidden Wind Valley."
Liang Jin nodded, indicating that he had no objections.
The Azure Clothes Tower would take care of the assassination.
Liang Jin himself had been somewhat idle in Dingfeng City during this time.
So he could set off at any time.
Gao Hongzhe also stood up and said:
"I'll take care of the supplies."
"At the same time, there's no need to worry about the guide, I'll find someone absolutely reliable."
Everyone was not someone who was indecisive.
Once an agreement was reached, they would immediately take action.
Cang Du and Gao Hongzhe also immediately got up to say goodbye.
After seeing the two off, Liang Jin also began to prepare.
This time, he didn't plan to bring anyone with him to help the Embroidered Uniform Guard's agents.
The Seven Souls had to stay in the Azure Clothes Tower to continue assassinating people, and also to guard Dingfeng City, this basic territory.
Other people, such as Liu Yuan and the like, were too weak and couldn't help much.
As for whether there were other spies in the Meng Residence like Li San, Liang Jin wasn't worried.
Death warriors like Li San were very precious and wouldn't waste a lot of time in useless places.
After Liang Jin and the Embroidered Uniform Guard's group left, these death warriors would naturally disperse slowly.
Moreover, he didn't have anything important in the Meng Residence.
At most, he would just instruct the housekeeper to investigate the servants in the residence and to recruit those who knew the details in the future.
The only thing Liang Jin was worried about was whether the Majestic Elephant Society would cause trouble after he left?
After all, the Majestic Elephant had Fifth Rank strength and a strong background.
If he caused trouble, no one could stop him.
"It seems that I have to leave some means to prevent accidents."
"Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder will be a good choice."
Liang Jin already had a plan in his heart.
… … … … … …
… … … … … …
Dragon Transformation Island.
"Whirr!"
The sound of the waves beating against the reefs never stopped.
The sun was already setting in the west and would soon fall below the horizon.
The newest novel is first published on 69shuba.!
The sunset glow filled the sky, and the reflection of the setting sun on the sea was straight and long.
A training room was located on a cliff by the sea.
In the Dragon Transformation Gate, not everyone was qualified to have a separate training room.
But as the chief disciple, Liang Jin naturally had this qualification.
After a day of cultivation, Liang Jin finally opened his eyes:
"Hundred Evils Body Great Art, I have finally cultivated to the fourth level!"
"My level of this martial art has already surpassed the sect master."
Beside Liang Jin, there were some empty bottles and cans.
These bottles and cans were all used to hold poison, and were also necessary for the cultivation of the 《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》.
Opposite Liang Jin, there was a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting cross-legged on the ground.
She was the Law Enforcement Elder of the Dragon Transformation Gate, Li Xueqing.
Li Xueqing was ordered by the sect master to supervise Liang Jin's practice.
She was naturally very serious and would personally supervise him every day.
She did this only to use the most painful poison to help Liang Jin practice, and at the same time, she wanted to appreciate Liang Jin's painful expression when the poison took effect.
The process of cultivating the 《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》 would always be accompanied by the pain of the poison taking effect.
However.
Li Xueqing had been supervising Liang Jin for a while, but she had never been able to find that Liang Jin had the slightest pain.
On the contrary, Liang Jin swallowed the poison as if he was eating, one bottle after another without stopping.
This led to Liang Jin's cultivation speed being extremely fast, and now he had actually cultivated the 《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》 to the fourth level.
This made Li Xueqing feel depressed.
Finally, Li Xueqing couldn't help but ask:
"Xiong Ba, do you… still not feel anything today?"
She glanced at the dozens of empty bottles on the ground.
Even Li Xueqing herself couldn't resist taking so much poison at once.
But Liang Jin was just a mere Fifth Rank martial artist, how could he persist?
Liang Jin smiled and said:
"With Elder Li personally supervising, how dare the disciple feel anything?"
He had already discovered that the [Hundred Poisons Immunity] trait could resist all toxins, but some harmless or even beneficial medicinal properties in the poison could be retained.
This was directly awesome!
Others who cultivated the 《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》 had to suffer from the torment of poison every day and were in great pain.
And the cultivation progress was limited by the upper limit of the daily fatal dose of poison, so cultivation was very slow.
But Liang Jin had no such worries at all.
He had no side effects when eating poison, and with daily check-ins, his cultivation speed was flying.
Li Xueqing snorted coldly and stood up:
"Xiong Ba, what secrets do you have on your body?"
"Why are these poisons ineffective against you?"
"You better confess the truth, don't bring disaster to yourself!"
Li Xueqing couldn't help but recall that on the day Liang Jin first entered the sect, she had poisoned Liang Jin.
At that time, Liang Jin was as unresponsive to the poison as he was now.
This made Li Xueqing's suspicion of Liang Jin deepen in her heart.
Liang Jin replied:
"Elder Li, how dare the disciple have any secrets, could it be… that the disciples of the Divine Dragon Hall who recently refined poison were embezzling?"
"They mixed inferior poisons into it to pass off as good, or even made some expired and ineffective poisons to fool people, these fake and shoddy poisons are naturally useless."
"Or, in the future, before each disciple's cultivation, Elder Li will check for the disciple, taste the poisons first to make sure they are correct before giving them to the disciple to take?"
Hearing Liang Jin's nonsense, Li Xueqing's beautiful face turned pale with anger.
The killing intent in her eyes was not concealed at all.
But she couldn't directly kill Liang Jin.
Liang Jin was now a popular figure beside the sect master, and he had also made great contributions to the sect.
As the Law Enforcement Elder, Li Xueqing had to have a suitable reason to kill him.
"Xiong Ba, don't be complacent!"
"Sooner or later, I will personally expose your conspiracy to sneak into my Dragon Transformation Gate, and watch you cry with my own eyes!"
There were no outsiders here now, and Li Xueqing spoke without any scruples.
After she finished speaking, she snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeves.
Liang Jin shrugged.
He liked to see Li Xueqing want to kill herself, but was helpless.
Fortunately, the sect master of the Dragon Transformation Gate, Yu Linglong, had discerning eyes and knew how to value talents and cherish talents.
As long as Liang Jin hugged Yu Linglong's thigh for one day, Liang Jin would not be afraid of this Li Xueqing for one day.
He came to the window and looked at the sea, while opening the intelligence panel.
"Huh? The intelligence has been updated."
"There's new intelligence again today, how does it look…"
