Retirement begins with summoning Yuan Tiangang

The night in Hexi Town is so quiet that you can hear the dew dripping onto vegetable leaves.

In the Lin family's courtyard, the shadows of the grape trellis stretched long on the ground, cut into blurry patches by the moonlight.

The kitchen light had long been off. Shi Yao and Ao Xiaohei were both asleep in their respective rooms. Shi Yao slept soundly, while Ao Xiaohei snored loudly and occasionally ground his teeth, as if he were gnawing on bones in his dreams.

Only the light in the east room was still on.

Raymond Lam has two chairs, one is a rocking chair, and the other is also a rocking chair, one is inside the room, and the other is outside the room.

Lin Tian lay on the rocking chair, a faded thin blanket draped over him. He didn't have a palm-leaf fan in his hand; it was getting cold, so he didn't need one.

He squinted, as if he were dozing off, or perhaps looking at the moon outside the window.

The moon was very round, hanging in the sky like a silver plate, its clear light shining down and making the rows of vegetables in the yard look lush and green.

The vegetables are growing so well, their leaves are incredibly thick and glistening in the moonlight, all thanks to the "spirit plant nutrient solution".

Lin Tian looked at the moon for a while, then looked down at his palm.

His palms were empty, but he "saw" something else.

The pale blue light screen reappeared in my mind.

He rarely opened the system these days. After Lin Feng left, he seemed to have a lot of free time. He spent his days sunbathing and didn't even bother to rock in the rocking chair.

But tonight, he remembered.

The items obtained from the summoning scroll that Lin Feng used before setting off are still in the system inventory.

[Host: Lin Tian]

[Current lying flat position: 26350]

[System Warehouse: Gold-grade Summoning Scroll x1, Black Gold-grade Summoning Scroll x1, Large Recovery Pill x1, Basic Knife Techniques x1, Basic Sword Techniques x1, Basic Formation Explanation x1, Salt x5 bags, Rice x10 bushels, Oil x2 barrels...]

The list is long, but only a few items are truly useful.

Previously, a gold-tier item obtained the Azure Dragon Commander from the Jinyiwei world, a Grandmaster at the peak.

Lin Tian stared at the two summoning scrolls for a while.

One is a gold-grade card, and the other is a black gold-grade card.

And that "Great Recovery Pill," its description reads "Revives the Dead and Heals Bones."

It's a good thing, but he can't use it.

He's in great health, has a good appetite, and is comfortable wherever he lies.

As for those "Basic Knife Techniques" and "Basic Sword Techniques"... he couldn't even be bothered to flip through them.

Basics? Does he need basics?

No need.

He thought about it for a moment, and then an idea struck him.

[Use Gold-grade Summoning Scroll x1?]

"Yes."

[Successfully activated. Summoning...]

On the light screen, the golden scroll image lit up and transformed into a stream of light that rushed into the vortex.

This time it didn't take long; a few seconds later, a notification sound rang out:

[Summoning successful. Character acquired: Fu Hongxue (from the world of "The Wandering Swordsman").]

[Character Profile: Known in the martial arts world as the Sword Saint, he has a slight limp in his right leg and suffers from epilepsy. His swordsmanship has reached a state of perfection; his heart is consumed only by the sword and revenge.]

Loyalty: 100%

[Strength Assessment: First Level of Celestial Being (Automatically adapted to the rules of this world)]

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow.

"yes!"

Fu Hongxue?

He recognized the name. It was his idol!

That person has slightly red eyes.

That man who always wore all black, carried a black knife, walked with a limp, and whose eyes were colder than a knife.

He was a tragic figure, and also a ruthless one.

The first level of Heaven and Man... Not bad.

In this world, the Celestial Realm is already considered a top expert. There are only a few dozen Celestial Realm experts openly known throughout the entire Central Court.

He then looked at the second summoning scroll.

Black Gold grade is one level higher than Gold grade.

I wonder what it can summon.

【Use Black Gold Summoning Scroll x1?】

"Yes."

[Successfully activated. Summoning...]

This time the light was brighter, and the scroll's phantom image transformed into a black-gold stream of light that rushed into the vortex.

The wait was a little longer, about ten seconds later, the notification sounded again:

[Summoning successful. Character acquired: Hei Bai Xuan Jian (from the world of "Nine Songs of the Sky").]

[Character Profile: A top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang organization, one of the Eight Swords of Yue, wielding a black and a white sword (black for Xuan, white for Jian). The black sword is for killing, the white sword for protection.]

Loyalty: 100%

[Strength Assessment: Early Stage of a Land-Based Immortal (Automatically Adapted to the Rules of This World)]

Lin Tian blinked.

Black and white Xuanjian?

He's an idol too!

He's familiar with this too.

The assassin who wore blue clothes, had a headband tied around his neck, carried two swords (one black and one white), and whose smile was sinister and chilling.

They are very strong, considered top-tier fighters in "The Legend of Qin".

In the early stages, neither Guigu nor his companion could defeat him, but the situation reversed later on.

...Early stage of a terrestrial immortal?

Lin Tian touched his chin, somewhat puzzled.

"This Black and White Xuanjian... isn't it a bit weak?"

He muttered to himself,

"Logically, he should be quite strong, so how come he's weaker than Yun Zhongjun?"

Yun Zhongjun was someone he had summoned before, and his strength was at the mid-stage of a terrestrial immortal.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian is only in the early stages, and is indeed quite weak.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

"Never mind, at least he's a terrestrial deity."

He waved his hand.

"Fu Hongxue is quite good; I really like this character."

He turned his gaze to the "Great Recovery Pill".

He can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones.

This description... reminded him of Yuan Tiangang's face.

That face, burned to the bone and covered by an iron mask for hundreds of years.

"This pill should be useful to the commander-in-chief, right?" Lin Tian thought for a moment, recalling how the commander-in-chief's face was ruined after he took the elixir of immortality in the original world.

"I'll just give it to him while I'm at it."

He sent Fu Hongxue and the elixir to the commander-in-chief.

Send the Black and White Xuanjian to Yun Zhongjun.

With a thought, he sent the pill to Yuan Tiangang through the system.

After doing all that, he leaned back in the rocking chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

I used up two summoning scrolls, gave away the pills, and all that's left in the warehouse are everyday items, nothing much to see.

He closed his eyes and began to imagine what Fu Hongxue and Hei Bai Xuanjian would look like when they appeared in the new environment.

It should be...quite interesting, right?

Outside the window, the moon had risen a little higher.

In the courtyard, the shadow of the grape trellis shifted slightly.

A few barks came from afar, then quickly fell silent again.

Length of night.
