New and dark light years

Chapter 226 Lackeys
Do you practice dual cultivation with Li Yanjing?
Li Lin hesitated for a moment.

The new dual cultivation method will definitely bring better results.

From a rational perspective, it is certainly possible.

Although dual cultivation techniques require a woman's 'qi' to be pure, Li Yanjing's body belonged to a courtesan, so theoretically, it wasn't considered clean.

However, several years had passed since Li Yanjing possessed him, and the way she absorbed blood essence was not through fusion, but through absorption from a distance.

So in reality, after all these years, her body is clean enough.

It is possible to cultivate both simultaneously.

But the problem is... in life, it's impossible to consider only 'rationality'; emotion is also a part of life.

He had to consider the thoughts of his two wives, as well as the thoughts of the Tree Fairy.

Seeing Li Lin's thoughtful expression, Li Yanjing said helplessly, "Patriarch, I've already flattered you like this, what are you still hesitating about?"

"I'm afraid Qing'er and the others won't be able to accept it."

Li Yanjing pressed herself even closer to Li Lin: "I'll persuade them, okay?"

Li Lin remained silent, still deep in thought.

But Li Yanjing was afraid that Li Lin would refuse, so she hurriedly said, "Patriarch, you don't need to think so much. Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, she disappeared without waiting for a reply.

Li Lin shook his head helplessly, turned around and went to sit cross-legged in the small spiritual vein.

Three days passed quickly, and Li Lin returned to the prison.

He first went to see the monks at Kongji Temple.

"In two days, the army sent to besiege Kongji Temple will return." Li Lin looked at Kongse and asked, "Master, is there anything you wish to say?"

Kongse's injuries had healed considerably, with some black skin peeling off to reveal tender white and pink skin: "Benefactor Li, what we at Kongji Temple did was our fault. Please do not blame other Buddhist disciples."

Li Lin laughed: "Is this your Buddhist sect's excuse? If you make a mistake, it's just a problem for one person or one sect, and you can't involve others. But if you offend one or two monks, you offend the entire Buddhist sect, and all Buddhist disciples will want to kill me. Besides... it wasn't me who offended your Buddhist sect first, but rather your Buddhist sect that came to cause me trouble first."

Kongse closed his eyes and stopped talking to Li Lin.

Because he had nothing to say.

He discovered that Li Lin was different from ordinary people; he could always pinpoint the sore spots in his words.

Talking to someone like that will only lead to more mistakes.

Li Lin ignored him and walked to the innermost area. He glanced through the fence on the left and asked with a smile, "Still alive?"

"Live! Live!" Li Shitong jumped up suddenly, then screamed and lay back down, but he still struggled to prop himself up: "County Commandant, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely not speak recklessly again."

His expression was sincere.

Li Lin felt that this was temporarily believable, so he said to the jailer next to him, "Unshackle him."

The jailer complied.

After about half an incense stick's time, Li Lin sat down in the main seat of the barracks again, and looked at Li Shitong, who was sitting in front of him.

"You should know you were wrong, right?"

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong," Li Shitong said with a fawning smile.

He truly knows he was wrong.

In the past, when he spread rumors in the martial arts world, even if others knew he was talking nonsense, they wouldn't care too much.

After all, people from the martial arts world are generally open-minded; they often just laugh off what they hear.

But it's different for wealthy families.

Now he understands the difference between the two.

Li Lin continued, "What do you usually rely on to gather information?"

“Connections.” Li Shitong laughed, looking even more sly and shifty. “I know many people from all over the world. If you need to find out any information, just ask a few more people.”

Li Lin nodded.

In fact, everyone has their own strengths in appearance. For example, someone as dashing as Li Lin might easily win the favor of women, but men would often have some reservations when they first meet him.

Only after spending a long time with him and getting to know his character can one befriend him.

While Li Shitong's appearance might not be considered attractive at first glance, and women generally don't find it appealing, men, on the contrary, don't seem to have any aversion to it.

Because the other person is ugly, it makes him look better. Therefore, most men can chat with someone like Li Shitong for a while from the start.

If Lai Sai Tong were to lower his stance a little, he could easily make friends with other men. He might not be highly respected, but at least he could get along well with them.

You should know my hobbies.

"Cultivating immortality?" Li Shitong asked rhetorically.

Li Lin smiled and said, "You could say that. Right now, I lack someone who can help me gather information from all over. Would you be willing?"

Li Shitong hesitated.

Li Lin said, "Of course, I won't let you work for free. You'll be well paid. And if you collect enough information and clues in the future, I won't mind giving you an official position."

At this point, Li Shitong was already quite tempted.

In this world, almost no one can refuse the opportunity to become an official.

Even people from the martial arts world are not allowed.

Seeing his reaction, Li Lin continued, "Besides, I know how to refine pills, as you should know."

Li Shitong nodded.

It is now widely rumored in the martial arts world that Li Lin is a descendant of the Li family of Jin County.

Of course, they know how to refine pills.

Moreover... the title "Paper Prince" also demonstrates Li Lin's talent in 'magic'.

This is precisely one of the characteristics of reclusive families.

"I have body-strengthening pills and youth-preserving pills here."

Li Shitong's expression became more interested, but they did not reach the point of 'agreeing'.

“There’s even a ‘life-giving pill’.”

Li Shitong asked with some curiosity, "What is the Life-Sustaining Pill?"

As an information broker, Li Shitong knew about the types of pills that Li Lin openly sold.

But this was the first time he had ever heard of Shengxi Pill.

“It’s a pill that can temporarily increase one’s vital energy.” Li Lin took out a blue porcelain bottle and poured out a green pill: “Moreover, after taking it, it will accelerate the cultivation speed of vital energy.”

Li Shitong was stunned.

Li Lin flicked his fingers.

The pill landed directly on Li Shitong.

"You can try eating it now."

Li Shi picked up the small green pill, somewhat hesitant.

"Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you or control you, I wouldn't need to poison you."

This is true.

Li Shitong thought for a moment, then swallowed the meatball in one gulp.

The pill melts instantly upon entering the mouth, and a cool current flows from the throat to the stomach, then dissipates, finally traveling along the meridians to the lower abdomen, specifically the dantian.

Li Shitong's internal energy cultivation was mediocre, and this surge of energy almost burst his dantian.

Then I felt a wave of comfort throughout my body, and even the injuries on my body seemed to have healed a lot.

So he bowed and said, "This humble one is willing to serve as your lackey."

Li Lin nodded slightly: "Ten taels of silver per month. If you can find out enough useful information, you'll have plenty of Life-Generating Pills."
