New and dark light years

Chapter 225 No Need to Pity Me

Li Lin looked at the man in front of him with interest and said, "It seems you're quite good at gathering information?"

"It's alright, it's alright!" Li Shitong said modestly, "I can barely make ends meet."

Li Lin looked him up and down for a while, then asked, "I want to ask you for some information. Can you help me get it?"

"County Commandant, please speak."

Li Lin looked around and saw a large group of martial arts practitioners watching them; they all had excellent hearing.

Discussing matters here is not a good option.

Li Lin said to the jailer beside him, "Let him out first."

Li Shitong was overjoyed.

The iron gate opened quickly, and Li Shitong crawled out, but he was still wearing shackles.

Li Lin walked out, and Li Shitong followed with a hunched back. When they passed a certain cell, Li Lin saw Xu Rong inside, torturing Elder Sun.

The torture device, 'finger crushing,' clamped onto Elder Sun's ten fingers, causing him excruciating pain and drawing blood continuously.

Xu Rong's face was full of joy.

Li Lin only paused for a moment before walking away again.

After leaving the prison, Li Lin sat down in the barracks.

Li Shitong stood hunched over, not daring to speak.

Li Lin checked Li Shitong's file, and the reason for the latter's imprisonment was very simple: "spreading rumors and misleading the public"!
"What did you say that led to Officer Li arresting you?"

Li Shitong laughed somewhat awkwardly.

"Just tell me."

“Um…” Li Shitong said in a low voice, “I just told you some of your… scandalous affairs, County Lieutenant.”

"My romantic affairs?" Li Lin was quite puzzled: "What romantic affairs do I have?"

Besides his two wives, he had no other women, except perhaps the Tree Fairy.

Besides, he never goes to brothels, so where would he get any romantic affairs?
Li Shitong's expression grew increasingly awkward; he moved his mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

At this moment, a yamen runner said, "County Commandant, this man said in public that you have twin sisters by your side!"

Sisters?
Li Lin was stunned.

At this moment, cold sweat poured down Li Shitong's forehead.

At this point, Li Lin had realized what the so-called "sister flowers" were all about.

He said coldly, "Drag him away and give him twenty strokes of the cane! If he survives, bring him to see me."

"County Commandant, spare my life! I will never dare to do it again!"

Li Shitong kowtowed vigorously.

Li Lin waved his hand, and two yamen runners immediately came in and dragged Li Shitong away.

Soon, faint screams came from the direction of the courtroom.

Li Lin sighed helplessly.

This kind of spreading of rumors may not mean much to Li Lin, but it can be fatal to women.

Moreover, the so-called "sister flowers" refer to Huang Qing and Huang Ling.

Huang Qing is fine, as she is her own wife, but Huang Ling is different; she is not yet of marriageable age, and Huang Yao is a big problem for her.

Li Lin then summoned the constable from before and asked, "How widely has the rumor about Li Shitong spread?"

"He had just started speaking when Officer Xiao... Deputy Commander Xiao discovered him and arrested him."

Xiao Chunzhu has recently been leading troops to hunt down martial arts figures.

The prison is almost overcrowded.

Hearing this, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Li Lin stayed in the barracks for another half an hour, and then Xu Rong came over.

"Thank you, County Magistrate, for redressing my grievances."

"It's none of my business, this is an internal conflict within your Kunlun Sect." Li Lin waved his hand and said, "How are those people?" "Half-dead." Xu Rong bowed slightly and said, "County Commandant, please rest assured, I didn't kill them. I understand that for you officials of the imperial court, the life and death of prisoners are very important."

It's not that important, really.

People outside the government, especially those in the martial arts world, often have stereotypes about the government, leading to a severe polarization of opinions.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Then let's go back first."

"Yes!"

The two then returned to the Li residence.

Upon reaching the third wing room, Xu Rong suddenly looked at Li Lin and asked, "County Commandant, are you really not going to give me your own vital energy?"

Li Lin waved his hand: "No need."

If Li Lin had used a Yuan Qi martial art, he certainly wouldn't have let it go.

However, he is currently cultivating spiritual energy, which would be detrimental to receiving primordial energy and would create conflict.

Moreover... dual cultivation techniques emphasize purity.

A woman who cultivates with a man should ideally have only one man. If there are other men, it is as if the woman's 'qi' becomes mixed, which is actually not good.

Xu Rong gave Li Lin a deep look, then turned and went into the side room.

When Li Lin returned to the backyard, Li Yanjing pounced on him.

"Master, I've finished reading the Hanshan Taisu Scripture and made some discoveries." She was standing very close to Li Lin.

She had a fragrance on her, which seemed to be the scent of several kinds of flowers, but it was faint and not very clear.

Li Lin asked, "What discovery?"

"This Cold Mountain Tai Su Scripture... is essentially a higher level of internal cultivation technique for dual cultivation."

"Oh?"

"Come here, I'll show you this energy cultivation route diagram." She took Li Lin's hand and led him into the hall.

Paper and pens have already been prepared there.

She bent down and drew a human figure sitting cross-legged, then started a line from the perineum and continued to draw the line in a winding manner all the way to the top of the head.

Next, she pressed all the acupoints along this line.

“Look, isn’t it very similar to the Ding family’s dual cultivation technique?” Li Yanjing said with a smug look. “If we change a few more of these acupoints… then it will be a true dual cultivation technique.”

Li Lin understood what she meant.

"In other words, the Ding family's dual cultivation technique is actually a castrated version, and the Cold Mountain Tai Su Scripture is also a castrated version. Only when they are combined can they form the true dual cultivation technique."

Li Yanjing nodded repeatedly.

"No wonder I always felt something was off about the dual cultivation technique, now I know why."

In other words, the Ding family's dual cultivation technique only focuses on the harmony of yin and yang, but lacks the ability to 'take' and 'give'.

The so-called Hanshan Taisu Jing only has the functions of the latter two, but lacks the effect of yin and yang harmony.

Only when the paths of these two cultivation methods are integrated can it be considered a true dual cultivation practice.

"It seems that the claim that Kunlun Mountain is a legacy of immortals is indeed somewhat true."

Li Yanjing looked at him: "So you want to go to Kunlun Mountain again?"

Li Lin nodded: "I do have that idea, but it's too far ahead!"

One in the south, one in the north! Even at top speed, it would take more than a month to travel back and forth.

Moreover, Kunlun Mountain is right next to the Northern Di, and the area has already been threatened by the Northern Di.

It's not safe to go there.

"When will you try this new dual cultivation technique?" Li Yanjing asked Li Lin expectantly.

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "It's not the right time yet. This new dual cultivation technique looks very... intense. Qing'er and Luan'er's bodies are not strong enough yet. We should wait at least another year or two."

Although the two women's physical fitness improved significantly, they still couldn't meet the basic requirements of the new dual cultivation technique.

At this moment, Li Yanjing pointed to herself and said with a charming smile, "I can do it. I'm a cunning person, very capable of causing trouble, so you don't need to be gentle with me!"
