New and dark light years

Chapter 175 Peaches and Divine Flesh

Two days later, Xuan Yangzi was beheaded at the Meridian Gate.

His head was chopped off, rolled on the ground, and then picked up by an old man who tore at it with tears and fury.

The old man was originally from Fuxin Village, but after making some money, he moved his household registration out of the village and lived in Yulin County, thus escaping the disaster.

But his brothers, sisters, nephews, grand-nephews, and relatives all died there.

How could this not make him furious?
Moreover, Li Lin used his power as a county constable to issue an arrest warrant.

The Zhuxian Society should be classified as a cult. Once discovered, it can be reported to the authorities, or one can simply stay away from these lunatics.

Indeed, in Li Lin's view, these people were crazy.

If it's already outrageous that the two monks were killing people by sucking their blood and energy for the sake of so-called 'cultivation,' then the fact that Xuan Yangzi indirectly caused the deaths of hundreds of people in Fuxin Village is even more heinous.

If everyone in the Immortal Execution Society is like this, then wherever they go, they will bring disaster.

It's possible that before the so-called extraterrestrial demons even appeared, the Immortal Execution Society would have already decimated the population of the Great Qi.

Li Lin was unwilling to tolerate such an organization.

He even used his position as a county constable to write a memorial to the throne.

Of course, his memorials would not be submitted directly to the Secretariat. Instead, they would be reviewed by the county magistrate, then by the prefect, and then by the prefect. Only after the prefect approved them would they enter the Secretariat, be reviewed by the Secretariat, and finally appear on the emperor's desk.

Submitting a memorial to the emperor is very troublesome, so under normal circumstances, the county magistrate would not write any memorials.

Li Lin didn't expect his memorial to appear in the Secretariat; he simply thought it was his duty as an official, so he wrote it anyway.

I just want peace of mind.

After all, he knew that the current emperor was busy with alchemy and cultivating immortality, and hardly cared about the court.

At this time, the position of county magistrate was temporarily held by Jiang Jili. He looked at Li Lin's memorial, smiled, affixed his seal, and then handed it to the prefectural government office in Tianjin.

Li Lin was unaware of this matter. He assumed that Jiang Jili would detain him, so he went home and continued his cultivation.

Dual cultivation, refining Qi.

Practicing the Lightning Strike Spell, stealth techniques, paper crafting... Li Lin hardly had any free time.

Huang Qing and Hong Luan were very distressed and kept making him nourishing foods.

Things flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On that same day, Jiang Chen returned.

Li Lin accepted his invitation and went to his home alone.

Jiang Chen looked travel-worn at this moment.

He watched Li Lin enter, cupped his hands and said, "I have fulfilled the county magistrate's request and retrieved the three catties of white elephant meat."

After saying that, he opened a square box.

Although it is already autumn, the climate in southern Xinjiang is still hot.

Logically speaking, after more than ten days of round trip, even if the meat is kept chilled with ice, it should have started to smell bad.

But the meat in the box... showed no signs of spoilage whatsoever.

On the contrary, it looks very fresh and has a unique aroma.

"You've marinated it; it smells amazing."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, this meat is supposed to taste like this."

Li Lin stretched out his finger and pressed it gently.

He then frowned slightly, because the meat was actually quite warm.

It's not the kind of warmth that comes from enduring the heat, but the warmth of being alive.

These two are different.

He could even feel the flesh twitching slightly.

Its nervous system appears to still be functioning.

"Isn't the white elephant dead?" Li Lin asked Jiang Chen. "Why do I feel like this flesh is still alive?"

“The meat is indeed still alive,” Jiang Chen said. “I watched General Tang’s guards cut this meat off the giant elephant. Every time they made a cut, the meat would jiggle.”

Such tenacious vitality, or is the white elephant still alive?

Seeing Li Lin's puzzled expression, Jiang Chen said, "But Bai Xiang is dead. General Tang said so."

Li Lin nodded slightly and asked, "Thank you. How do we proceed with the transaction?"

Jiang Chen licked his lips and said, "Sir, I don't need money. I just want to ask you to change my family's household registration back to normal."

Oh?
Li Lin looked at him with some doubt. "My wife is a woman from the Southern Barbarians. Of the children we have, only our eldest son can be considered a Qi person; the rest are all Southern Barbarians." Jiang Chen knelt down on one knee and said, "I have two more sons and a daughter, and I hope to have them all registered as Qi people."

Li Lin nodded: "This is easy and simple. What else?"

"I dare not be greedy, this is sufficient."

"Okay, I agree to this."

Li Lin closed the box, held it in his hand, and put down a silver ingot: "But money is still needed."

After saying that, Li Lin left.

Jiang Chen looked at the silver ingot and laughed: "This county magistrate is just as rumored, a good official."

Li Lin took the box home, and as soon as he reached the backyard, Li Yanjing appeared in front of him.

"I smell something really nice."

She looked at the box in Li Lin's hand with burning desire in her eyes.

Li Lin walked into the main hall and opened the box.

A glass-like object with fleshy texture appeared before the two of them.

"Truly divine meat."

Li Yanjing took a deep sniff, revealing an intoxicated expression: "It's only slightly inferior to your blood essence. But this stuff is more to our strange palates."

Li Lin was quite surprised: "Only a little bit weaker than my blood energy?"

"Correct."

Li Lin found it unbelievable: "This is a god of the Southern Barbarians. I'm just an ordinary person, how can I compare?"

“That still can’t compare to you.” Li Yanjing thought for a moment and said, “This White Elephant God may indeed be much, much stronger than you, but his body may not be very tasty. You understand what I mean. If it weren’t for his status as a divine beast, he probably wouldn’t be as good as you.”

"do you want to eat?"

Li Yanjing nodded vigorously.

Li Lin used the short sword hidden in his sleeve to cut off a piece.

It's incredibly smooth, like cutting jelly.

Li Yanjing held the piece of meat and immediately crawled into the altar.

Li Lin ignored her and was about to put the box away when the Tree Fairy appeared.

She remained aloof, looking at the box, then at Li Lin.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, Tree Fairy." Li Lin held up the box and gestured to her, "Would you like some too?"

The Tree Fairy Goddess looked disgusted and then shook her head slightly.

She seemed to dislike this thing very much.

"That's strange. It's all a mystery, so why does Yan Jing like it so much?"

The Tree Fairy glanced at the altar beside her, then gave a haughty snort.

Then, she took something out from behind her and presented it to Li Lin with both hands.

When Li Lin looked at it, he saw that it was a peach the size of a fist, a pink peach.

"Hey, are your peaches ripe?"

Li Lin subconsciously looked at the illusion of the peach tree outside, but found that almost all the peaches were green.

"Peaches ripen early."

"The Tree Fairy Goddess said softly."

Li Lin took it.

"Eat the peach, but don't eat the flesh, it rots."

After saying that, the Tree Fairy Goddess disappeared again.

Li Lin looked at the white elephant meat in the box, then at the peach in his hand, and laughed.

Since the Empress had given instructions, he naturally only ate peaches.

He had indeed planned to try a few bites, but since that's the case, he'll just use it as an experiment.

Hopefully, this white elephant meat will bring me some...surprise.

Thinking about it, he took a bite of the peach, then his eyes widened.

Delicious!
He had never tasted such delicious fruit, neither in the past nor now.
