New and dark light years

Chapter 130 Bargaining
Ding Yingqiu flipped through the book that Li Lin handed her. Although it was only a single, thin volume, it was full of useful information.

Ding Yingqiu still found it somewhat difficult to read.

After a while, she closed the book and said, "I don't know what kind of talent people who can cultivate immortality have, but I believe that you, Brother Li, must have the aptitude for cultivating immortality."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Thank you."

“I will accept this book. It concerns another cave dwelling, located in the wilderness of our Gui County.” Ding Yingqiu smiled and said, “I will draw the map within two days and send it to your residence.”

Li Lin stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you."

After leaving the Ding residence, Li Lin returned home.

His first action was to continue cultivating.

Boxing, spear fighting, health preservation and rejuvenation exercises, yin-nourishing mental techniques, etc.

Since he didn't know which ones would lay the foundation for his future cultivation, he simply learned them all.

It's always good to have more skills to rely on.

Anyway, there's plenty of time.

Another day passed, and he went to work again, patrolling the county town with his constables.

Because Huang Yan was relatively honest and incorruptible, the public security situation in Yulin County has always been relatively good.

Not long ago, Li Lin killed the county magistrate, and now the dark side has been greatly reduced. Many underground bosses are wary of him, and those inhumane things are also decreasing accordingly.

There haven't been any outrageous cases lately; they've mostly been minor squabbles and everyday disputes.

He patrolled to the vicinity of the city gate and happened to see Wang Tianyou returning from outside.

Li Lin went to greet him.

"Young Master Wang, have you returned in triumph?"

Wang Tianyou was overjoyed: "Thanks to the county magistrate, this time everything went quite smoothly."

"Congratulations. It seems your days at home will be much easier from now on."

"Haha, no problem, no problem." Wang Tianyou pulled Li Lin aside and whispered, "Brother Li, once I've trained this female demon properly, if you need her, you can come to my Wang family, and I'll have her help you with your cultivation."

Li Lin subconsciously took a step back.

He doesn't like being brothers-in-law.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Moreover... if a female ghost really wants to help someone cultivate, Yan Jing from Hongxiuzhao is a viable option; there's no need to go all the way to the Wang family.

Of course, she also didn't want to provoke Yan Jing.

Besides his two wives, only the Tree Fairy Goddess could interest Li Lin.

Seeing Li Lin's resistance, Wang Tianyou said, "Brother Li, I know you may find it dirty, but female ghosts, especially beautiful ones, are very rare. Be a little rough around the edges and have a big heart, it's no problem."

Li Lin waved his hand again: "Never mind."

"That's a real pity," Wang Tianyou said with regret.

In his view, this method is a good way to bring the two people closer.

"In a few days, I will have someone send you a copy of the cultivation technique."

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "If you have information about the Obscure Word Technique or resources related to cultivation, you can exchange them with me."

Although the Wang Tianyou family is not considered prominent, it has a history of over a hundred years.

I've also heard of the term "cultivating immortality".

He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You and the Ding family... also have this kind of contact?"

Li Lin nodded.

“Alright then,” Wang Tianyou said. “My family has a lead on this matter. It’s not particularly impressive, but it’s still useful. However, I need you to exchange it for something.”

"Please say."

"The secret formula for the Youth-Preserving Elixir."

Li Lin paused for a moment, then said, "That's not appropriate."

That's really not appropriate.

A clue is a clue; whether it's useful or not is another matter.

The Youth-Preserving Pill is currently the biggest source of income for the Li family.

His wife, Huang Qing, has already brought a lot of benefits to the family by using the Youth-Preserving Pill.

Whether it's in terms of connections or in terms of real money.

If the secret formula for the Youth-Preserving Pill is given away, this product is very likely to become widespread in the future.

"Then the body-strengthening pills."

Li Lin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your initial goal was the Body Strengthening Pill."

Yulin County is only so big, and many people already know what good things Li Lin has.

The effectiveness of the body-strengthening pills has been verified by others.

Before Su Huafang died, he often praised the thing in private. Wang Tianyou, having his thoughts exposed by Li Lin, wasn't embarrassed, but just chuckled.

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "Okay... but you have to bring some other things."

It's a secret recipe.

As for the prescription, Li Lin, no longer a newcomer, knows its value very well.

Wang Tianyou pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem. In a few days, I'll have my servants bring the things to you. You can give them the pill formula to him to take away. Also... if Brother Li really finds any clues about cultivation, please trade with us. Our Wang family is willing to exchange everything for it."

"Each each other."

Wang Tianyou left happily.

As for where the female ghost he captured is, Li Lin did not see her.

There must be some special storage method involved.

Li Lin returned home and enjoyed intimate relations with his two wives, together studying the path of dual cultivation.

[Dual Cultivation +1]

[Dual Cultivation +1]

The Ding family's dual cultivation technique is indeed very useful.

In just a few days, Huang Qing and Hong Luan looked much better.

Moreover, the two seemed to have begun to feed some yin energy back into his body.

It's no longer the situation it was a few days ago, where there was only outflow and no inflow.

Li Lin woke up to another day and drank millet porridge.

Zhang Afu walked over and handed over a roll of paper.

"Master, these are things delivered by the servants of the Ding family."

Li Lin took it and opened it to read.

It turned out to be a topographic map.

After looking at it for a while, he said to Hongluan beside him, "After dinner, take it to my study."

Hongluan naturally nodded in agreement.

Li Lin put on his official robes and went to work.

In the county government office, he encountered Jiang Jili again.

The man remained indifferent to him, and Li Lin was too lazy to try and win him over.

Just as Li Lin was gathering his men to go on patrol, Jiang Jili approached and said, "County Commandant Li, please come here. I have something I want to tell you."

Li Lin was taken aback for a moment, but still followed.

The other party was just a weak scholar, while he was now an eighth-rank spirit hunter, so there was no reason for him to be afraid of the other party.

Inside the 'household' room, Jiang Jili said coldly, "County Commandant Li, why are you breaking the established rules?"

"What rules?"

"Pay monthly salaries to the yamen runners."

Li Lin looked at the other person with a strange gaze: "Those yamen runners work for the county government and don't get a single penny. What's wrong with me using my own salary to give them a little money to live on?"

"But this is causing us a lot of trouble."

"How could I trouble you..." Li Lin then laughed: "I remember, a few days ago you recruited ten yamen runners yourself. You have a monthly salary of five strings of cash, so it's not difficult to support ten yamen runners."

“I didn’t have to pay anything in the first place, what do you know?” Jiang Jili said angrily.

Li Lin scoffed and turned to leave.

Supporting ten yamen runners would cost 500 cash a month, which is one-tenth of Jiang Jili's monthly salary.

The fact that he didn't even want to spend this little bit of money shows how stingy he is and how little he treats the yamen runners.

Li Lin felt that speaking even a single word to such a person would be an insult to him.

After finishing his patrol, Li Lin went to the brothel Hongxiuzhao and found Yan Jing.

"Weren't you willing to follow our orders and be assigned tasks?"

Yan Jing smiled and said, "What are the county magistrate's plans? Or are you planning to take pity on me?"

Li Lin shook his head: "I plan to go out in a while. You come with me and help me ward off the strange monsters."

Yan Jing pondered for a moment: "It's possible, but the county magistrate is out in the wilderness, would he trust me?"

"So... I'm going to use the art of nurturing tricks to temporarily control your actions."

"Impossible!" Yan Jing shook her head.

"That's it."

Li Lin turned and left.

"Wait!" Yan Jing stood up and shouted urgently, "Everything can be discussed. Are you saying I can't bargain after you've set a price?"
