Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Chapter 36: Autumn is almost over

As usual, after practicing morning exercises and breathing techniques, Jiang Wang sent Jiang An'an to school and then went to the outskirts of the city to see Du Yehu off.

Leaving home was not an easy task these days, but rather a bitter farewell filled with separation and death.

The reason why humans live in villages, towns, and cities is largely due to the countless beasts, including ferocious and demonic beasts hidden in the mountains and wilds.

Towns and cities are safe, and other than that, there are official roads. It's not that the inscriptions on the official roads are foolproof, and the manor cannot afford to make such a huge investment. In fact, the effect of those inscriptions is mostly to deter.

A more effective method is for the manor to gather powerful cultivators to regularly clear these roads -- officially called "plowing the land" -- to ensure that those beasts without intelligence but with keen intuition remember the danger and dare not approach easily.

With Du Yehu's strength, there was not much danger as long as he walked on the official road.

When Jiang Wang arrived at the outskirts of the city, only Zhao Rucheng and Ling He were there, and no one else. Among the brothers, Du Yehu was the most sociable, with the most friends, but he didn't like to act like a child, so he didn't tell the others about joining the army, but instead asked Ling He to pass the message on later.

A table of wine was set up on the wild ground, undoubtedly Zhao Rucheng's work.

Jiang Wang took out the copied "Four Spirit Body Refining Technique" from his arms and handed it to Du Yehu.

Du Yehu only flipped through two pages and his eyes lit up, "Old San, this is a great thing!"

"Let me see, let me see." Zhao Rucheng was particularly curious and came over.

But he turned his head after reading a few lines, "Body refining, that must be very tiring."

"Such a good technique!" Du Yehu was frustrated, "You won't want to let it go after taking a few more looks."

Although he could see at a glance that this technique was the complete sublimation version of the White Tiger Body Refining Technique, he did not ask about Jiang Wang's source. When Jiang Wang wanted to say it, he would naturally say it. Everyone has their own secrets, even Jiang An'an has her own secrets that she doesn't want to reveal, and there is no need to delve into them.

He also didn't have the idea of monopolizing it. He fell in love with this technique at first sight and hoped that the other brothers wouldn't miss out.

Zhao Rucheng waved his hand, "Too long to read."

Du Yehu turned to Ling He, and Ling He shook his head, "I am currently focusing on stabilizing the Heavenly Meridian and reaching the Tongtian Realm. I cannot be distracted by other techniques for now."

He was a steady person, taking one step at a time. The brothers were only twenty or so points away from accumulating enough merit to advance to the next level. He had been doing tasks these days, but he found it difficult to handle tasks of the same level, and mostly did some peripheral work following his senior brothers. Therefore, the merit he obtained was very little, usually only one or two points, and sometimes he gained nothing. But no matter what, he was getting closer and closer to transcendence.

Jiang Wang smiled, "I will also use this technique to refine my body. When we meet again, let's see who has cultivated deeper."

"I'm not as talented in swordsmanship as you, but in martial arts... hehe, just wait and see." Du Yehu was full of confidence.

"Then, see you in Xin'an!"

"See you in Xin'an."Jiang Wang and his group went to Xin'an City, which was the day they entered the Guodao Academy. Du Yehu, on the other hand, had to become a real power general in Jiujing Xuanjia before he could attend the martial arts tournament in Zhuangdu.

The grand imagination of the future was all in the idle talk of the young people.

The brothers ate a few bites and chatted. Except for Ling He, who never drank alcohol, the other three drank three big bowls in a row as a farewell, but no one shed tears.

Then, Du Yehu also raised a bowl of wine towards the southwest direction, but he didn't say anything, just poured it out.

Everyone knew he was saying goodbye to someone.

Du Yehu went to Jiujing from the south gate and took the official road. The path to the Green Willow River was in the southwest direction.

Recruiting for Jiujing Xuanjia was open from the Ministry of War to the Dao Academy, as this army was considered the face of Zhuangguo. Therefore, he didn't need too much procedure to leave the city and say goodbye.

The words that should have been said had already been said, and sending someone off for thousands of miles would eventually lead to a separation.

"Let's go!"

Finally, Du Yehu said only this, picked up his baggage, and left empty-handed.

At that time, there was no wind or rain, and the clouds gradually cleared.

And autumn was coming to an end.

...

As a collateral descendant of the Lin family in Wangjiang City, Lin Zhenglun has recently become very popular.

First, he married a widow and was ridiculed, but he didn't care and had a happy marriage. After a few days, he opened the medicinal herb market in Fenglin City. In the heavily commercial Wangjiang City, this undoubtedly won him considerable recognition and began to control the medicinal herb business within the Lin family.

If you can't make it to the top, you have to change from a collateral descendant to a direct descendant. The sparrow becomes a phoenix.

It was then that people realized that the widow he married was not simple. She brought a dowry! The best medicinal herb shop in the entire Fengxi town.

Who doesn't know that the medicinal herb business in Fenglin City depends on the harvest in Fengxi town? Among them, the Jiang family pharmacy in Fengxi town is well-known and has a monopoly. Of course, it has also changed its surname to Lin.

At first, the Lin family tried various ways to squeeze into Fenglin City, but it was difficult to make progress. No one expected that Lin Zhenglun would take a different approach and break the deadlock with a marriage. It made many people regret it, as the widow herself was not bad-looking, let alone the profits.

On the Wangjiang Tower in Wangjiang City, sitting inside and looking out into the distance, the vast and clear river was like a dragon moving in the eyes.

Lin Zhenglun sat in the main seat, toasting and listening to the flattery of the people present, feeling very proud.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound of someone coming upstairs was so clear that Lin Zhenglun turned his head to see who was so ignorant. He, Lin Daguanren, had already rented out this floor.

At this sight, the people sitting with him had already stood up.

"Young Master Lin."

"Young Master Lin!"

There were many young masters surnamed Lin, but there was only one who could make so many influential people bow and scrape, and that was Lin Zhengli, the legitimate son of the Lin family patriarch and the future patriarch of the Lin family.Lin Zhenglun instinctively wanted to get up, but he forced himself to sit back down and smiled, "Zhengli, what brings you to the Jiang Tower today? I have reserved this floor, feel free to enjoy yourselves, the expenses will be on me."

Yes, he was actually the older brother of Lin Shaoye. In the past, he had nothing to say due to his low status, but now he had made great contributions and had entered the main branch. In terms of seniority and seating arrangements, it was only natural.

Although he couldn't compete with Lin Zhengli for the position of the Lin Clan's leader, he was about to take control of the entire family's medicinal business, so he naturally had the confidence to sit back and talk.

As soon as these words came out, the young masters behind Lin Zhengli all laughed. They were all children of various dignitaries, and even though they were laughing for no reason, Lin Zhenglun couldn't say anything.

Lin Zhengli himself was very calm and even bowed to Lin Zhenglun, "Thank you, elder brother, for your hospitality."

After sitting down under Lin Zhenglun's enthusiastic invitation, Lin Zhengli smiled and said, "We haven't had the chance to talk much, but today, I have something to discuss with my elder brother."

Lin Zhenglun was quite pleased and looked around, as if to say, "Look at how much the future leader of the Lin Clan respects me."

But he humbly said, "Zhengli, please don't be so polite. You can say whatever you want. As someone who's a few years older, I have some life experience to share with you."

"That's good." Lin Zhengli smiled, "Has the medicinal business in Maple Forest City been consolidated?"

This question hit the spot, and Lin Zhenglun laughed heartily, "With me in charge, there's no reason why we can't take it down. Zhengli, just watch, within three to five years, all the medicinal herbs in the entire Maple Forest City will be under the Lin Clan!"

"That's good, that's good." Lin Zhengli nodded repeatedly, "In that case, elder brother can rest assured and go to the Autumn Garden for recuperation."

"Of course!" Lin Zhenglun instinctively agreed, but then reacted, "Wh...what?!"

Autumn Garden sounded nice, but it was just a place for the elderly in the clan to retire. How could he, Lin Zhenglun, who was still young, be sent to retire?

"Don't joke around, Zhengli." Lin Zhenglun forced a smile.

But Lin Zhengli's smile faded, "I never joke around. As for the medicinal business, I will personally take over."

The young masters who came up with him laughed again, the laughter was light but sounded heavy.

The autumn wind blew over the clear river surface and into the Jiang Tower, blowing onto Lin Zhenglun.

He realized that he couldn't resist.

It was then that he felt cold.

It turned out that it was already deep autumn. He thought.
