Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 207 Seeking the Law
Tiger Robe now has a total of three cougars.

The square bone's face was blank, and the bandit hybrid was still attached to the stone man.

Finally, there was a rather beautiful girl, who was formed from the tiger-robed figure after digesting all the martial arts practitioners he had swallowed.

Lin Jiang glanced at it and guessed that the tiger robe was based on the woman holding flowers at that time.

The tiger-robed creature spat out the two vengeful spirits. Fang Gutou's face still clearly showed fear, but the woman's expression was even more rigid, as if she had not yet regained her spirituality.

"Master, what are you doing?"

The tiger-robed figure lay on top of Lin Jiang, looking at him with considerable confusion. Lin Jiang chuckled.
"There are some things I'd like to try."

However, before taking action, he paused briefly, turned his head, and asked:

"Speaking of which, releasing a courier ghost won't affect you personally, will it?"

"No." The man in the tiger robe shook his head directly. "I only have four teeth of the vengeful spirits. Even if they're full, I have to release them. Your usual avatar takes up one, Fang Gutou takes up one, and this newly refined one takes up another. I've also released all those miscellaneous soldiers that you made me devour to gather information."

What will happen to the ghost you released?

"They will perform their own rituals to transcend suffering and enter the cycle of reincarnation. They have no thoughts or will to begin with, and they are incapable of doing anything else."

Lin Jiang nodded, having gained a basic understanding of what a changgui was.

He then looked at the expressionless woman.

"I'm going to try a method. If you feel anything unusual, don't resist it; tell me immediately if you feel uncomfortable."

"it is good."

Tiger Robe was unaware of the situation, but trusted his master implicitly, so he didn't ask any further questions and agreed directly.

Lin Jiang walked to the woman's side and put his hand on her shoulder. The next moment, he channeled his cultivation into the woman's body, attempting to pull her into his palace.

Tiger Robe felt a powerful suction force coming from Lin Jiang.

Startled, she instinctively released her grip on the woman. In that instant, the woman vanished, leaving only streaks of light in the courtyard.

Lin Jiang was overjoyed!

It actually worked!
He immediately looked inside the palace and saw the ghost inside, looking around with a blank expression.

Liu Fangyue approached the ghost and gently touched it. The ghost's soul was instantly imbued with golden energy and merged with the palace in the blink of an eye.

Sensing the changes within the hall, Lin Jiang was overjoyed.

In this way, one can cultivate multiple paths and multiple pill formulas!

It should be known that the prescriptions in the library are as vast as the ocean, and even if Lin Jiang worked day and night, he felt that he could not finish studying several libraries even if he exhausted his entire life.

But with these aids, it's like having several extra brains, naturally increasing the speed of reading.

Good thing.

While Lin Jiang was excited, Tiger Robe was still somewhat dazed and hadn't reacted yet.

However, she was immediately startled:
"Master! You're using demonic arts?!"

"I don't think so." Lin Jiang pondered for a moment, feeling that although the effects were similar, the core of the methods were largely different.

"I never expected the boss to resort to such methods..."

The tiger robe visibly slumped, its head drooping to the ground, as if it had lost its soul.

Lin Jiang was puzzled as to why she was doing this, but then a lantern emerged from her sleeve:

"This wretched woman is worried that she will fall out of favor and have no chance to serve her master anymore."

"Who are you cursing! Who are you cursing!"

Upon seeing the lantern appear, the tiger-robed man immediately retorted, but his voice was weak and feeble, clearly lacking confidence.

Lin Jiang then realized what was going on.

Unexpectedly, Tiger Robe was worried about this.

He chuckled and reached out to pat her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, my method is completely different from yours. The souls that are taken in will completely lose their freedom, unlike yours which can be taken in and released at will. I'm only lending you one for some convenience in cultivation."

Tiger Robe nodded, his mood slightly calmed.

Seeing this, the lantern let out a soft hum:
"He looks big and burly, but he's quite pretentious."

"I want you to take care of it!"

These two magical treasures, which usually quarrel, showed a good relationship at this moment.

Lin Jiang comforted Tiger Robe a couple more times, then put her away.

He did not include the square bone in the palace, but kept a ghost for future use.

If you need to change your face to go out, the square bone is just right.

After Lin Jiang arranged for Liu Fangyue to teach the demons the Dharma through his inner vision, he checked the time.

It was morning.

It's time to take Gongxuan to pay a visit to Boss Guo and Master Liang.

……

After making a few inquiries in the city, Lin Jiang and Gong Xuan found the headquarters of Manager Guo's Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber of commerce was named "Guo's Great Merchants" and was quite prestigious in the capital.

Even a casual stroll into a roadside stall and a close examination of the bills would often reveal entries related to the Guo family's collaborations. Of course, the capital couldn't allow all the wealth to fall into the hands of Boss Guo. The Ministry of Revenue had always been engaged in open and covert struggles with him, and with the interference of several high-ranking officials in the central government, the Guo family's influence in the capital had never reached its zenith.

However, Mr. Guo didn't care about this. Rumor has it that he controls an island nation in the East China Sea, where the whole country is engaged in business and his wealth is astonishing.

However, it was ultimately just a rumor, remaining merely a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys.

Upon entering the Chamber of Commerce, the hall was bustling with activity, with merchants constantly coming and going: some were buying goods, others were discussing business. Lin Jiang even saw a special window where some people from outside Daxing were exchanging their goods for currency.

Lin Jiang had mentioned a special "Hu Street" in the capital, a gathering place for merchants from other regions, which he had longed to visit but had never set foot on. Now, he had finally seen it for himself.

Some had high noses and deep-set eyes, with faces resembling those of Persians; some had brown skin, similar to those commonly found in the Western Regions; and some had peculiar features, making it difficult to discern their human form at first glance.

There were merchants with skin as black as charcoal but with faces like those of the Daxing people; there were merchants with huge holes all over their bodies and thin as sticks; and there were merchants with two heads growing side by side, arguing on the left and right.

Lin Jiang was curious and couldn't help but take a second look, but then felt it was inappropriate and finally looked away.

He searched through the crowd for a moment and quickly spotted a young girl who had just finished getting her personal seal stamped. The girl looked up at him, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

She immediately raised her hand and gently brushed her hair back:
"Young master, is there any tax or financial matter to be addressed?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Guo. Is Mr. Guo here?"

The little girl's smile froze on her face.

Looking for Boss Guo?

Who is she? What is her identity? How could we let her inform Boss Guo?

Even if she invited her direct manager, and the manager was willing to report it up the chain of command, it was still unknown how long it would take before it reached Boss Guo's desk.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely think this was deliberate harassment.

Seeing that Lin Jiang was indeed handsome, she nodded and maintained her smile: "I will go and report to the manager right away."

Lin Jiang nodded, about to ask when they could meet, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him: "Isn't this Young Master Zhu? It's been so long!"

Lin Jiang turned his head and saw the young-looking Boss Guo swaggering towards him, holding a scale.

Everyone in the chamber of commerce bowed respectfully. The little girl was stunned and at a loss for what to do.

what?
You actually know the big boss?

Since you know the big boss, why not just visit him in person and deliver the invitation? Why come looking for me?
The little girl muttered to herself, but dared not speak or ask, and simply stood there, feeling awkward and uneasy.

"Boss Guo." Lin Jiang bowed.

The other party waved his hand and said, "Young master, did you seek me out for business?"

"It seems Mr. Guo already knows."

"I don't know, how would I know? It's just fate," Manager Guo said with a smile. "I noticed a new teahouse has opened next to the Chamber of Commerce. Why don't you two go and have a taste?"

"Thank you for leading the way, Mr. Guo."

Mr. Guo didn't stand on ceremony and immediately led the two away from the Chamber of Commerce.

The teahouse is not far away; you can get there by walking half a circle around the back street.

Upon entering, they discovered that the place was not yet officially open for business. Boss Guo summoned a middle-aged man and whispered a few words to him. The man then led the group to a wooden room.

The room was quiet and luxuriously furnished, with a window on the side that opened to reveal a dense bamboo forest.

But when Lin Jiang was outside the courtyard, he didn't see any bamboo planted inside.

It must be some kind of supernatural power.

After everyone sat down, the middle-aged man quickly brought out two pots of tea, poured them for everyone present, and then cleared the table.

Neither Lin Jiang nor Gong Xuan drank the tea; they simply stared at their teacups.

"How much is this tea?"

"Consider it my treat." Boss Guo gave a helpless, bitter smile. "It's strange, why do I always get asked about the price when I treat people to tea?"

Lin Jiang remained silent, recalling the tea he had last time.

Mr. Guo smiled but remained silent.

Composing himself and not continuing the argument with Boss Guo, Lin Jiang asked directly:
"Mr. Guo, I've come here to ask you about the Star Points project."

"You said."

Lin Jiang turned to look at Gong Xuan. Gong Xuan remained silent for a moment, then slowly began to tell Boss Guo about his story:
"My destiny is to be poor. I cultivated my own path, but ultimately I'm stuck before reaching the Star Point Realm..."

He told Mr. Guo everything, and after hearing it, Mr. Guo's eyebrows twitched, then he suddenly smiled:

"That's quite simple."

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Guo."

"To get this done, you'll need money."

"How much silver?"

"Not much." Boss Guo stretched out his hand, palm open, making a five.

"Five hundred taels?" Lin Jiang asked.

Mr. Guo shook his head:

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver."
