Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 95: A big deal! A big deal!
Yangzhou City

The study room in the backyard of the Salt Administration Office
"Dad, is there any news about Brother Cong?"

After breakfast, Daiyu couldn't wait to pay her respects to Lin Ruhai.

Morning, noon and evening, three times a day, without missing a single time.

Of course, in Lin Ruhai's opinion, his precious daughter was so diligent in paying her respects.

Three questions a day.

I feel a little disappointed.

"Cong'er was ordered to go to Shandong to quell the rebellion this time. He will be away for half a year at the shortest and one or two years at the longest. He will not be back so soon."

Lin Ruhai put down the teacup in his hand.

He sighed silently, after all, he couldn't bear to see his daughter worried all day long.

"With Cong'er's strength, those White Lotus rebels in Shandong will definitely not be able to harm him."

As he spoke, Lin Ruhai stood up and took out a copy of The Analects of Confucius from the bookshelf.

"Come, Yu'er, today I will teach you the Analects of Confucius, "Shu Er Chapter". That day, Cong'er was able to break through to the realm of great scholar with this chapter."

"Yu'er follows your father in practicing Confucianism. If he becomes a great scholar in the future, it will be a good story."

"Ah? Daddy, but my daughter has to go back to her room to practice..."

Daiyu was smart and studious since she was young and loved reading.

It’s just that Lin Ruhai was busy with government affairs before and had no time to give Daiyu an introduction to Confucianism and Taoism.

At this time, all the eight major salt merchant families were slaughtered, and the Xue family was very cooperative with the officials of the Salt Administration Office.

It can be said that since coming to Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai has never had such a leisurely life.

At this time, I want to use this to distract my daughter's attention.

But this time I heard that you want to study Confucianism and Taoism.

Daiyu looked embarrassed.

"Brother Cong taught me a Xuanmen technique before, and my daughter is now almost at the late stage of the first level of Qi Refining."

"Late stage of Qi training?"

Lin Ruhai was shocked.

Although he is a great Confucian and Taoist scholar, the Lin family has been marquis for four generations and has a long history of family learning.

He also has a lot of knowledge about the Xuanmen cultivation system.

It can be said that it is in Confucianism, Taoism, martial arts, and the Taoist way of refining qi.

Xuanmen practice is the most difficult and requires the highest talent.

It would take at least three to five years for an ordinary cultivator to feel the Qi, especially in the late stage of Qi Refining.

It will take at least seven or eight years.

But how long has Daiyu been in the capital?

It’s been less than three months in total.

Already in the late stage of Qi Refining?

"Is what Yu'er said true?"

Even with Lin Ruhai's sophisticated and shrewd mindset, he couldn't sit still anymore.

"Daddy, look!"

Daiyu had a cute and innocent look on her face and stretched out her green hands.

A stream of water flowed out from the palm of the hand, constantly circling around the five fingers.

The first level of Xuanmen is the Qi Refining Realm, which does not have any lethal magic.

But this little magic is enough to show Daiyu's accomplishment.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard with great satisfaction, although his talent was not as good as Jia Cong's spiritual cultivation at the age of nine.

But think about it, a man in his twenties refining his spirit.

It is also rare in history.

At this time, Daiyu also took the opportunity to reveal her true purpose.

"Dad, can I stop practicing Confucianism?"

"Brother Cong said that if you practice the Xuan Men's spirit cultivation and the method of prolonging life, you can live 500 years."

"There are only one hundred and fifty great Confucian scholars..."

"Brother Cong also said that if I practice Xuanmen skills, he can help me search for natural treasures to improve my cultivation."

Lin Ruhai, who had just been feeling very pleased, was stunned for a moment.

The scene of my baby daughter pestering me all day long to give her Confucian and Taoist enlightenment emerged in my mind a few years ago.

Now all I hear is "Brother Cong said" and "Brother Cong also said"

I felt a sudden sense of desolation in my heart.

"Master, Lord Jia has sent someone back."

At this time, Lin Enxiang, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, reported from outside the study.

"Grandpa Lin, did Brother Cong send someone back?"

"Bring him here quickly." Daiyu said without waiting for Lin Ruhai to reply.

"Yes!"

After a while, Butler Lin led a strong man in and followed him.

There were also several boxes carried in by the servants of the Lin Mansion.

"I am Zhang Li, Zhang Mang, and I am here to meet Mr. Lin and Miss Lin!"

The ones who came to deliver the letter were none other than the two gods, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, under Jia Cong's command.

After absorbing some of the pure ghost power refined in the blood pool, the two of them have reached the seventh level of innateness.

Even the true meaning of martial arts has undergone a transformation.

From the most common tiger and wolf true meaning, it turned into a soul-catching chain.

Strength increased by leaps and bounds.

"Martial arts innate!"

"I wonder what your relationship with Cong'er is..."

Lin Ruhai didn't expect that the two people sent by Jia Cong to deliver the letter were actually gifted in martial arts.

The faint aura emanating from his body was obviously not that of an ordinary martial arts master.

His attitude immediately changed and his tone became respectful.

"In reply to Lord Lin, my brother and I were once saved by the Marquis, and now we serve as his personal guards."

Zhang Li replied respectfully.

These words made Lin Ruhai feel as if his heart was in turmoil.

It’s okay to have ordinary martial arts talent.

But with the strength of these two.

Even if it were placed in the royal family, it would be one of the most important offerings in the Ziwei Division.

But now he is only guarded by Jia Cong's personal soldiers?
"Ms. Lin, the Marquis ordered me to bring gifts and letters to Miss Lin this time."

Zhang Li was just generally respectful to Lin Ruhai.

It’s different for Lin Daiyu, who is the future mistress of the God.

A dignified martial artist, a ghost and god in the underworld, simply calls himself a villain.

As he said this, he opened the box behind him.

But then I saw a precious light rising into the sky.

One of the smaller boxes actually contained five magical weapons.

At the very top, there are two precious mirrors, one black and one white, which are extremely eye-catching.

"This is the Xuanyin Mirror and Xuanyang Mirror from the brothers Xuanyin and Xuanyang at Qingling Mountain in Jiaxing Prefecture!"

Lin Ruhai immediately recognized the identities of the two precious mirrors.

It was exactly the magic weapon of the pair of soul-refining brothers that Jia Cong killed outside the city of Jinling.

Belongs to the sixth level of refinement!

Yin and Yang, interdependent and complementary, form a set.

Its power is close to that of the Seven Refined Magical Weapon.

Relying on this magic weapon, the two brothers gained considerable fame throughout the entire Jiangnan region.

"Lord Lin has a good eye. These two were in league with the rebels of the White Deer Academy and were planning to cause chaos. They were killed by my Lord outside the city of Jinling."

"These two magic weapons are just right for Miss Lin to protect herself."

"This……"

"Cong'er is thoughtful."

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly. How could a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining use a six-refined magic weapon in the world?

However, I also saw that the remaining three Xuanmen magic weapons were all of the fourth-level refining grade.

Obviously all aspects have been taken into consideration.

For transitional use by Lin Daiyu.

"In addition, the Marquis also asked me to bring 18 hundred-year-old elixirs, as well as a hundred new volumes of Xuanmen techniques confiscated from the White Deer Academy."

"They are all for Miss Lin's practice."

Zhang Li’s subsequent remarks made Lin Ruhai at a loss for words.

A century-old elixir, eighteen strains at a time.

Spiritual medicines are different from ordinary medicinal herbs, which are ordinary medicinal herbs without spiritual energy.

Even if it is hundreds or thousands of years old, it can only be called a medicinal material. Only if it contains spiritual energy can it be called a spiritual medicine.

It is extremely difficult to grow spiritual medicine.

It requires extremely high spiritual energy of the environment.

And during the growth process, most of them will be discovered and swallowed by wild beasts in the mountains based on their instinct.

That’s why the century-old elixir is so precious.
