New and dark light years

Chapter 472 Let's kidnap the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world and present her to the master!

Seeing the five people's awkward expressions, Li Lin could only sigh helplessly.

He has tried his best to make the Reiki Breathing Technique as simple as possible, but as a trade-off, its potential is not high.

After all, this is just an introductory technique, which allows people to sense spiritual energy and make basic applications.

Spiritual energy, vital energy, and yin energy are all forms of 'energy' and have similarities, but the differences between the former and the latter two are far greater than their similarities.

This is why, although spiritual energy clearly exists, very few people can perceive and utilize it.

Besides the lack of 'cognition', there is also a gap in 'talent'.

No matter how simple you make something, if the practitioner doesn't have the talent and ability in that area, it will be difficult to understand at first.

Therefore, Li Lin can now see that none of these five people are very talented.

But that's okay, we can take it slow and teach you gradually.

Regardless, let's get the team together first.

Everything needs a beginning before it can be gradually perfected.

Li Lin believed that the Zhuxian Society had not developed to this extent in just a few years.

"I'll leave the booklet here. You can copy it down yourselves when you have time." Li Lin pointed to the porcelain bottle and said, "This is a Vitality Pill... One pill is equivalent to half a month of arduous cultivation. You can try it now."

Upon hearing this, everyone was quite excited.

Anxin couldn't help but ask, "Are there any side effects?"

Generally speaking, every medicine has some degree of toxicity; this is a universally acknowledged truth among martial arts practitioners. For example, the Mighty Vajra Pill from Shaolin Temple, if taken in excess, can easily cause one to suffer from excessive sexual desire.

The reason why some highly accomplished monks cannot control themselves is because they have consumed too much of the "Vajra Pill".

This statement also holds true for Li Lin.

For example, the Purple Mansion Nourishing Pill that he plans to refine in the future will inevitably produce pill poison.

The problem is that the Vitality Pill is just an ordinary medicine. Even if it has some toxicity, it is negligible and would not cause any problems for children.

Li Lin smiled and said, "There are no side effects."

An Xin glanced at the other four and, seeing that they still seemed somewhat doubtful, said, "I'll go first."

Li Lin could understand these people's distrust.

After all, a single pill can increase one's vital energy by half a month of arduous cultivation; few people would believe that if this were to be told.

But Li Lin was also a very famous alchemist. His anti-aging pills and body-strengthening pills were famous throughout the world.

Especially the Youth-Preserving Pill, which occasionally slips into the martial arts world, is always fought over, resulting in bloodshed and chaos.

Under normal circumstances, the Youth Preservation Pill only circulates among wealthy families; martial arts practitioners wouldn't dare to rob such high-ranking households.

For this reason, the five of them also had high expectations for Li Lin.

An Xin poured a pale green pill from the porcelain bottle and put it in his mouth, then sat cross-legged in front of everyone.

Before long, white steam rose from Anxin's head, a sign that his vital energy was circulating rapidly.

"Hiss, this amount of vital energy is indeed extraordinary." Miao Sha's cold face showed some surprise: "Why have I never heard of such a pill before?"

Generally speaking, whenever there is some miraculous medicine, people in the martial arts world will chase after it like dogs smelling excrement.

But there is no legend about this Vitality Pill in the martial arts world.

Li Lin laughed and said, "Because I only give this thing to a very small number of people to use."

Moreover, they are all people who keep their mouths shut.

Zhang Lecheng leaned closer, looking at An Xin's face and then at the slight 'wriggling' of his skin, and said, "Is Sect Leader An trying to break through his cultivation barrier? So daring?"

As a master of medicine, he could tell at a glance the current path of the other person's Qi circulation.

This skill was his unique technique, which Li Lin, despite being superior to him in medical expertise, could not possess.

Li Lin is more skilled in treatment and detoxification.

After all, his medical skills were prepared for 'alchemy'.

Liang Liang also came over. He was very moved when he saw the vital energy rising from An Xin's forehead, and he began to look at Li Lin with reverence.

People in the martial arts world always have great respect for those with ability.

Hu Jianhong clasped his hands in greeting to Li Lin and asked, "Your Excellency, Military Governor..."

"You can call me Chairman from now on."

"Then, President, can this cultivation technique you mentioned be passed on to outsiders?" Hu Jianhong asked in a low voice.

"Only members of my Immortal Seeking Society are allowed to learn this skill," Li Lin said without hesitation. "If someone other than a member of our society learns it, they will either have their skills ruined or be killed. If you want a family member to learn it, you can have them join us."

Hu Jianhong cupped his hands in a gesture of understanding.

This is normal. The martial arts techniques of various sects in the martial arts world cannot be learned by anyone other than their own disciples, nor can they be passed on to family members.

Hu Jianhong was just asking out of a bit of unrealistic hope.

After waiting a while, An Xin performed a finishing movement, turning his palms downwards and pressing them down to his lower dantian.

Then he exhaled a long breath, and a faint white line shot out from his mouth, like an arrow shooting into the distance before disappearing into the air.

Upon seeing each other, the four martial arts figures almost unanimously offered their congratulations.

"Congratulations to Sect Leader An on your great improvement in skill."

An Xin smiled and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Then, everyone looked at the light blue porcelain bottle.

This thing is so incredibly effective, it would be strange if they didn't want it.

In fact, Li Lin had better 'spiritual energy pills', but... they hadn't even mastered the cultivation techniques, so it wasn't convenient to give them to them.

Moreover, such precious items wouldn't be given away right away. Li Lin would only consider distributing "spiritual energy pills" like these "divine objects" to a small group of people after they had made appropriate contributions.

An Xin also cupped his hands in greeting to Li Lin.

The other four had already realized that the Vitality Pill was truly effective, so they returned to their seats and listened quietly.

They now believe that the Seeking Immortals Society has a very promising future.

"I plan to establish five branch headquarters, divided into four branches in the east, south, west, and north," Li Lin said to An Xin. "Using Tianyi Sect as a cover, the headquarters will be located in Tianjin, with Sect Leader An as the vice president. As for the other four branch headquarters, they will be set up in the four cardinal directions... The specific locations will be chosen by the four of you."

Anxin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The fact that Tianyi Sect was chosen as the representative of the Immortal Seeking Gathering was something that had been agreed upon beforehand.

The other four nodded.

Although it would be difficult to re-establish a branch in another place, they were all experienced veterans, and forming a simple secret society was a piece of cake for them.

It's just that the cost is quite high.

After all, recruiting people to do your work requires resources.

Fortunately, they all had some savings.

Especially the Taoist priest, he had the most money, after all, doctors can make a good living.

Li Lin waited a while, and seeing that no one objected, he continued, "I know very well that setting up an organization is a very troublesome thing, so for the first two years, I will try my best to support you. Each person can receive a thousand taels of silver notes every year as start-up capital."

Everyone was stunned.

Then, Xinglin Daoist realized what was happening and stammered, "Sir, how much?"

"One thousand taels of silver," Li Lin said calmly.

"How much?" This time it was Liang Liang who asked.

“One thousand taels,” Li Lin replied again.

An Xin's expression was better, after all, Tianyi Sect could collect about three or four hundred taels of rent every year. Although Tianyi Sect had large expenses, it was still considered wealthy overall.

The other four were taken aback by the number.

Finally, Hu Jianhong was the first to ask, "Sir, isn't this too much?"

“A strong organization needs sufficient funding.” Li Lin’s gaze swept over the group again. “I want to see four branch headquarters established within a year, with each branch headquarters having no fewer than thirty people. The second year, there should be no fewer than fifty people, and all of them must be quite capable.”

The air in the room was somewhat stuffy.

Finally, An Xin broke the silence, cupping his hands and smiling, "Your subordinate obeys."

At this moment, the other four people also realized what was happening and bowed in unison.

"I obey my orders."

At this moment, Li Lin's tone became serious, and he said, "I have no shortage of money, nor do I lack supplies. I can always provide you with cultivation techniques and elixirs. In the future, your family members can even serve as minor officials in my army..."

The expressions on all five people brightened.

Making a living in the underworld sounds prestigious, but who wants to live a life of constant danger and risking their life forever?

I'm not afraid myself, but I don't want my relatives or descendants to do this kind of work.

“But… if anyone dares to fool me,” Li Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly, “whether it’s my status as a military governor or my reputation as the Paper Prince, I can find a way to make a traitor wish he were dead.”

The five men's expressions tightened, and they became serious and focused.

An Xin said solemnly, "My lord, I will always be loyal to the Seeking Immortals Society."

The other four people followed suit and raised their hands in agreement.

Li Lin's expression softened, and he took out the large silver notes and five porcelain bottles that he had prepared in advance, and placed them on the table.

"I've left the items here; you can decide what to do with them yourselves." Li Lin said as he stood up. "In the early stages of the Immortal Seeking Gathering, keep a low profile and focus on investigating immortal caves, legends, and items. If you find any immortal items, buy them if you can; if you can't... report to me, and I'll take care of it."

"Yes!"

The five people also stood up and bowed with their hands clasped.

Li Lin nodded to them and then left.

After they left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Jianhong cupped his hands to An Xin and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader An, for giving me this opportunity."

"You're too kind," An Xin returned the greeting.

Seven years ago, Hu Jianhong single-handedly stormed into the Di people's camp and killed a thousand-household commander.

That sounds impressive.

But only he knew how lucky and how dangerous the process was.

Moreover, for the past seven years, he has been hunted down by Di spies, living in constant fear, and he is on the verge of collapse.

It wasn't until he was invited to Jin County that the Di spies stopped hunting him down.

This is also why he respects Li Lin so much, after all, he has personally experienced the oppressive power brought by the 'government'.

Hu Jianhong then asked, "Sect Leader An, you are acquainted with Lord Li, do you know his preferences?"

"Like?"

"Beauties, divine weapons, or jade and lacquerware."

An Xin thought for a moment and said, "It should be beauties, after all, Brother Li... Lord Li has taken three concubines, all of whom are very beautiful."

When the four heard An Xin accidentally call Li Lin "Brother Li," although they immediately corrected themselves, this mindset, once formed, was difficult to change.

The Taoist priest Xinglin laughed and said, "Speaking of beauties, the number one beauty in the martial arts world... isn't she going to Yu County soon? How about we kidnap her and send her to you, sir?"

The other four looked at him with strange expressions.
