Cultivation Begins with Daily Intelligence Reports

106: New intelligenceLin Lingshan listened to Lin Jingyu’s logical analysis, his overflowing anger gradually subsiding, and his eyes flashed with sharp light.

He pondered carefully for a moment, then slapped his thigh hard:

”Good lad, your brain moves fast and you think things through! I’ve been in secluded Cultivate for so long that I feel my brain has rusted.”

”Fine, then let those old fogies jump around for one more day! It just so happens that there are quite a few Medicinal Pill left from what you gave me, so I’ll go polish this newly acquired strength of mine!”

He moved his shoulders, cracking sounds echoing, and turned to walk towards the quiet room for Cultivate, that eagerness to hammer someone making Lin Jingyu laugh.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the siblings and the snoring of Little Ash left.

Lin Jingxia lowered her head, one hand tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, almost twisting it into a knot, while the other hand unconsciously stroked Little Ash’s smooth fur.

She looked up at Lin Jingyu several times, then quickly lowered her head, wanting to speak but hesitating, her small face full of conflict.

”Brother...” She finally gathered her courage, her voice as thin as a mosquito’s hum, carrying a trace of pleading:

”I... can I go tell Little Miss? Ever since she was chosen... she hasn’t... hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for days...”

As she spoke, she timidly raised her eyes to observe her brother’s expression, fearing he would not agree.

Ever since they were chosen, the two good friends had been filled with a sense of heaviness.

Now that she saw the family head had such strength, she couldn’t wait to comfort Young Miss.

Lin Jingyu looked at his sister’s worried little face, understanding in his heart.

He nodded, his tone calm: ”Go ahead. Anyway, the Grand Elder knows I will cause trouble on the day of the alliance, and presumably he doesn’t take a Qi Refining Third Layer Cultivator to heart. At that time, I will give him a surprise!”

His tone shifted: ”Regarding the situation of the family head, not a single word can be mentioned! If anyone asks, just say the family head is heavily injured and still in secluded Cultivate, with life or death uncertain. Understand?”

”Mm-hmm! I know!”

Having received permission, Lin Jingxia’s face instantly turned from overcast to sunny. She nodded vigorously, hugged Little Ash, and like a happy little deer, skipped as she ran out.

Running to the door, she paused, looked back at her brother. In the sunlight, her brother’s tall and straight figure seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light, steady, powerful, and unfathomable.

A strange thought suddenly popped up. She used to think Little Miss was gentle and virtuous, a good match for her brother, but now... why does it feel like she’s a bit unworthy?

She shook her head, threw this thought away, and quickly ran far away.

After sending his sister away, Lin Jingyu sat down in the chair and poured himself a cup of cold tea.

The room was quiet, with only some noise coming from far away outside. He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness:

”Check today’s intelligence!”

[Intelligence Refreshed!]

[Today, at the Miaoling Pavilion in the Southeast Market Town, the Qi Refining Fourth Layer Alchemist apprentice Yun Momo is ordered to go to a small Spiritual Plant field belonging to the Miaoling Pavilion to collect Yellow Stamen Spiritual Plant.]

[This Spiritual Plant has a special habit: only when the morning sun first appears and the dew has not yet dissipated can the medicinal power it contains reach its Peak.]

[Yun Momo knows this well, so she set off before dawn and arrived at the Spiritual Plant field at the Mao hour (5 AM), and it was not until two quarters past the Chen hour (around 7:30 AM) that she painstakingly collected the required amount.]

[This girl has a pure and kind heart. Not only is she polite to the few old herb farmers guarding the herb field, but she also specially brought them hot Yao Beast meat buns and Clear Spirit Tea for breakfast.]

[While everyone was worried and distressed about the plight of Miaoling Pavilion being suppressed by Daling Pavilion, she softly encouraged them: ”Everyone, don’t be discouraged. What kind of storms hasn’t our Miaoling Pavilion seen? With the Pavilion Master here, we will definitely be able to pull through! Good days are still to come!”]

[Afterwards, she left the Spiritual Plant field with a full harvest, her mood slightly relaxed, and returned to the Southeast Market Town.]

[However, misfortune descended! At three quarters past the Chen hour, in a desolate forest about seven miles north-northeast of the Southeast Market Town, several masked Bandit Cultivators suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack!]

[Four Bandit Cultivators, three at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and one at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer!]

[Although Yun Momo has some means of protection, facing fierce thugs who are not weaker than her, have a numerical advantage, and are experienced, her resistance appeared so pale and weak.]

[She was shocked and angry, sternly reprimanding: ”I am a Disciple of the Miaoling Pavilion! You dare to commit violence, are you not afraid of the thunderous rage of the Miaoling Pavilion?”]

[The response to her was the Bandit Cultivator Leader’s mocking and greedy grin: ”Miaoling Pavilion? A declining family that can’t even protect itself, who are you trying to scare?” The name not only failed to deter them, but it was like adding oil to the fire!]

[The only remaining protective Jade Talisman, under the fierce attack of the Bandit Cultivator Leader’s Qi Refining Fifth Layer power, shattered completely with a ”pop” like a fragile eggshell!]

[With her spiritual energy exhausted and all means lost! Looking at the grinning Bandit Cultivators surrounding her, and feeling those undisguised lewd gazes, immense humiliation and fear instantly drowned Yun Momo.]

[A flash of determination crossed her eyes, her trembling hand quietly reaching into her sleeve for a special Talisman engraved with flame patterns. That was her last resort, and once triggered, flames would appear, and she would burn herself to death!]

[Better to be broken as jade than to be intact as a tile!]

...

”Hoo—” Lin Jingyu opened his eyes abruptly, a cold murderous intent spreading from him like substance, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop by a few degrees.

Bandit Cultivators again!

It’s this kind of beastly behavior of bullying the weak and slaughtering the innocent again!

Last time in the intelligence, seeing the tragic state of his sister Lin Jingxia being harmed by a Bandit Cultivator, that monstrous anger and hatred were deeply engraved in his bones.

At this moment, seeing the impending misfortune of the kind girl Yun Momo, that murderous intent was instantly ignited, surging in his chest like a volcano!

”Intervene and change what is about to happen, save her! Kill all those scum!” This thought occupied Lin Jingyu’s mind with extreme firmness.

It’s not just because this line of the Miaoling Pavilion is crucial to his future path as an Alchemist.

It is even more because this is the Dao of Lin Jingyu!

If he doesn’t act, his mind won’t be clear!

Even if it were a completely unrelated Cultivator being ambushed by Bandit Cultivators, Lin Jingyu would definitely help out.

Now with the Cultivate of the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, plus strong Mental Energy, and his self-created rough Mental Energy impact secret technique, it is enough for him to walk sideways among those of the same rank!

Dealing with a few Bandit Cultivators at most at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, as long as the timing is right, is not a difficult task!

The intelligence also revealed key information that the days of the Miaoling Pavilion are truly difficult, as even reporting the name cannot suppress the Bandit Cultivators.

It can be seen that the problem is serious, with fierce external suppression, and it has already reached the eve of the tree falling and the monkeys scattering.

It is estimated that a large number of Alchemist have already been poached, and it is teetering in the wind and rain.

But who would have thought that this Miaoling Pavilion, which is about to fall apart, would turn the tables in the future and hold the reins of the Southeast Market Town auction?

”This is a God-given opportunity!” Lin Jingyu’s eyes exploded with sharp light.

If he can save Yun Momo today, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, extending a helping hand at the moment of most despair for her and the Miaoling Pavilion. The value of this friendship far exceeds adding flowers to the brocade a thousand times over.

It is enough to firmly bind him with the boat of the Miaoling Pavilion, which has huge potential.

It can bring him a lot of help for his path as an Alchemist.
