New and dark light years

Chapter 146 Different Talents
After a long silence, Ding Yingqiu said, "Among my clansmen, my meridians are considered relatively wide."

Li Lin was stunned for a moment!
“That’s not right,” Li Lin said, frowning. “I also checked Xiao Hu’s meridians, and they’re only a little smaller than mine.”

"Is it possible that something's not quite right about either of you?"

Li Lin withdrew his hand and then said, "I know why your cultivation hasn't been very successful. Your meridians are too small."

Ding Yingqiu looked distressed.

"The Qi that the Nourishing Nature Classic cultivates is different from normal Yuan Qi and Yin Qi; it is... greater."

"Does qi have a size?"

Li Lin nodded: "You should also be able to feel it. Yin energy is like a trickle, while primordial energy feels like tiny beads or raindrops. But the energy cultivated by the Nourishing Nature Scripture... is a sphere, like hail. You have to absorb this 'sphere' from your meridians, condense it in your dantian, crush it, and turn it into a trickle before it can belong to you."

Ding Yingqiu rested her right hand on her forehead: "No wonder our Ding family has never even touched the threshold of cultivation for hundreds of years. Is it because our family lacks talent?"

Li Lin didn't say anything.

He could sense the despair and helplessness that Ding Yingqiu was suppressing.

After a while, Ding Yingqiu said in a low voice, "Thank you for your explanation, County Magistrate."

Li Lin nodded and stood up: "Then I'll go back first."

Ding Yingqiu didn't speak; she seemed to be thinking about something.

After leaving the Ding residence, Li Lin sighed.

Sometimes, talent is a really unreasonable thing.

Perhaps this is why Zhao Xiaohu, despite not being particularly gifted, has a surprisingly fast cultivation speed.

Li Lin put the Ding family's affairs aside for now, as his three-day holiday was over and he would be busy from now on.

He had to lead the local militia of Yulin County to escort Huang Yan to Jincheng to take up his post, and at the same time, he also had to take the more than one hundred famous southern barbarian women to the laundry department in Jincheng.

This is Huang Yan's achievement, and he can also share some of the credit.

The next morning, Li Lin did not go to the county government office, but instead went directly to the north gate of the city in his official robes.

Five hundred local militiamen were already waiting here, and all the spirit hunters had also arrived.

In addition, more than a hundred southern barbarian women gathered in a group nearby.

Their complexion was much better than it had been a few days ago.

After all, being able to eat their fill and have a place to sleep is already a very good life for them.

Li Lin's arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Several village militia leaders came over to greet him, and the hunters naturally came over to chat with him as well.

Not long after, another convoy emerged from the city gate.

It was the Huang family's convoy.

Four two-horse-drawn carts, eight donkey carts, more than forty servants, and thirty to forty laborers.

What truly interested Li Lin were the dozen or so martial artists.

Li Lin had never seen these martial artists before; each of them was full of vitality.

None of the spirit hunters were a match for them.

Including Li Lin.

Is this the foundation of a noble family?
Li Lin was somewhat impressed.

Huang Qing also came out with the convoy. She walked to Li Lin's side, her eyes red, and said, "My lord, you must make sure Father is safely delivered to Tianjin. You must also be very careful. I'll be waiting for you to come back at home."

Li Lin nodded.

In fact, there was no need for the so-called local militia to escort them. Those dozen or so warriors were enough to safely deliver Huang Yan's entire family to Tianjin.

Li Lin even suspected that the bearded old martial artist inside was either a third-rank or fourth-rank official.

This is just the Huang family's publicly displayed strength; it's hard to say whether they have even more powerful forces hidden behind the scenes.

No wonder the two fifth-rank experts from the Jiang family disappeared as soon as they left the capital.

Huang Qing and Hong Luan then went to the side to express their feelings of parting to Huang's eldest daughter-in-law, younger sister, and younger brother. Huang Yan just walked over and said with a smile, "My dear son-in-law, the new county magistrate will arrive tomorrow. For now, the county affairs will be temporarily handled by the county magistrate, Jiang Jili. I have already given him a heads-up, so you can rest assured at home. In addition, I have already brought the altar of the Four Wonders True Lord, and I have arranged for someone to take care of the altar of the Tree Fairy Goddess. You can rest assured."

Li Lin clasped his hands in thanks and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Taishan."

"That sounds rather distant," Huang Yan said with a squinting smile. "I hope you can reach the fourth rank of Spirit Hunter soon, which will make it much easier for you to travel between counties and prefectures in the future."

"My son-in-law will diligently cultivate himself."

Huang Yan looked around and smiled, "Then let's set off, it's getting late."

Li Lin nodded and immediately shouted to the captains beside him, "Marching!"

The captains immediately dispersed and loudly issued orders.

The army set off.

They shielded Huang Yan's family in the center and headed towards Tianjin.

Huang Qing and Hong Luan stood at the city gate, waving continuously.

Until the army disappeared from sight.

Then the two slowly walked home.

When the two women returned to their front door, they saw several warriors standing outside.

Upon seeing Huang Qing, they all clasped their hands in greeting and said, "Young Miss, the head of the family has ordered us to come and follow your orders to move the altar of the Tree Fairy Goddess to the True Lord Temple."

Huang Qing already knew about this, and bowed, saying, "Thank you all, brothers. Also, I am no longer a young lady."

“This is what the head of the family told us to say. He said that you will always be the eldest daughter of the Huang family.”

Huang Qing felt like crying. She knocked on the door, Zhang Afu opened it, and then stepped aside.

"come in."

The group followed Huang Qing to the backyard, where they saw two altars.

The larger ones are placed in the center of the main hall, while the smaller ones are hidden in the corners.

In the main hall, there is also a very beautiful peach tree.

When the warriors saw the peach tree, their eyebrows twitched.

At this moment, a servant brought two incense sticks, lit them with a yellow chime, and placed them in the incense burner.

"Tree Fairy, we are now moving your sacred carriage. Please go to the True Lord Temple to enjoy the incense offerings of the people. We apologize for any offense."

After she finished speaking, she inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

At this moment, Li Yanjing appeared and said, "Madam has already agreed."

Madam!
Huang Qing was taken aback for a moment, then she understood and said sweetly, "Then please go to the Zhenjun Temple, sister. This is also what my husband wants."

Huang Qing didn't care whether she was the eldest daughter-in-law or not, but if this Tree Fairy was willing to be the eldest daughter-in-law, then the safety of the Li family would be sufficiently guaranteed.

Li Yanjing said, "Madam said to hurry up."

Huang Qing nodded and said to the martial artists, "Thank you for your help, brothers."

The warriors clasped their hands in greeting: "You're too kind."

They simply used a few hemp ropes to tie the altar together, and then pulled on it at the same time.

Then the group set off in a grand procession toward the Zhenjun Temple.

The commotion attracted many pedestrians to stop and watch, and some even followed along.

Jiang Jili stood on the balcony of the Fugui Restaurant, watching the Li family carry the altar past, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

“Great Deception, True Lord!” Jiang Jili sighed, “The Li family’s power is already established, and it will be difficult to target them again in the future.”

A middle-aged man next to him said, "The Huang family has high hopes for Li Lin. If the Huang family adds another pawn in the future, it will be even more troublesome."

Jiang Jili sighed softly: "I always feel that our Jiang family is always one step behind the Huang family in everything."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "That's just fate."
