140: The Longevity Sect
“Investigate what? Just someone impersonating our Qingqiu. Who doesn't know that there are no males in our Qingqiu? Oh, now there is, Li Baiyun is here.
However, Li Baiyun definitely wouldn't know about this, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Qingqiu for a fox demon. He hasn't been back in decades.”
Tu Shan Jiuer finished the chicken leg in her hand, patted her slightly bulging stomach, and looked at Xu Yanran expectantly.
Xu Yanran couldn't help but touch her ear and had someone bring more food.
“Then why do you want me to go?” Qin Jiang asked.
“You don't know? Didn't Li Baiyun tell you? He used his previous contributions to our Qingqiu to exchange for an entry Opportunity into the Love Affinity Immortal Realm.
Originally, I was supposed to accompany you in, but since you have a wife, you won't need me.” Tu Shan Jiuer said.
“What is the Love Affinity Immortal Realm?” Qin Jiang asked.
Tu Shan Jiuer finished her chicken leg and looked at Qin Jiang in shock, “You don't even know about the Love Affinity Immortal Realm! In our Ten Thousand Mountains, who doesn't know that our Qingqiu's Love Affinity Immortal Realm is an unparalleled Opportunity!”
Qin Jiang remained silent.
“Uh, anyway, there are very precious things inside. Some people say there are Immortal Opportunities!” Tu Shan Jiuer said with a serious expression.
Qin Jiang nodded, “I understand. You can go back now.”
After speaking, he called his subordinates to continue on their way.
After the convoy left, the giant black tiger, which had been standing by the roadside like a stone sculpture, slowly walked up to Tu Shan Jiuer.
“Is it possible?” A deep voice came from its mouth.
Tu Shan Jiuer looked up, her face bewildered. How could it speak?
Before she could finish her thought, a silver-white light burst from her eyes, and her demeanor instantly turned cold.
“The Innate Dao Embryo, it's completely possible.”
Above the earth, the surging river flowed past, this was the Canglang River that traversed Yuan Province.
Not far from it, a giant city sat, like a continuous black mountain range.
In terms of area, Yuanzhou Prefecture City far exceeded Ningan. One could vaguely see the mountains within it; this was a massive city that enclosed a mountain range.
The convoy arrived at the city gate. Qin Jiang lifted the curtain. Armed soldiers were checking the people and carriages entering the city.
Looking ahead, the main city gate was over twenty meters wide, and the secondary city gates were also over ten meters.
After driving to the city gate, the soldiers checked them and then let them pass.
Upon entering the city, the clamor filled their ears, with vendors hawking their wares everywhere.
“Yanran, look over there, they're selling rouge.”
Qin Jiang pointed to a spot and spoke. A few seconds later, he turned back in confusion, only to see Xu Yanran sitting in her seat, as if she hadn't heard him at all.
Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong and looked towards the front of the convoy.
In the surging crowd, a middle-aged figure stood. He was extremely handsome, but everything around him naturally passed by him without touching him in the slightest, as if he didn't exist at all.
Qin Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, “Senior, why don't we talk inside?”
It was a bit far; getting closer would make it easier to act.
The next moment, the middle-aged man made to step, then suddenly blurred, and was already inside the carriage, sitting directly opposite Qin Jiang.
“May I ask, Senior, what brings you here?” Qin Jiang said.
“I am Lin Mingzhi.” The middle-aged man spoke.
Qin Jiang's eyebrows raised slightly at the words. Lin Mingzhi, Governor Lin Mingzhi of Yuan Province.
“So it is the Governor. I apologize for not greeting you sooner.”
“No need to be polite, I should be greeting you. I've heard your name for a long time.” Lin Mingzhi said, his tone calm.
With that, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion. With a 'whoosh', a jade pendant flew out from the luggage compartment at the back of the carriage.
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, a hint of sadness and reminiscence appeared in Lin Mingzhi's eyes.
Qin Jiang looked at the jade pendant in his hand and immediately understood. This was the jade pendant left behind when Lin Yu'er and Lin Xian'er dissipated in the Red Gold Mine back then.
Lin... a member of the Lin clan in Yuanzhou Prefecture City. So that's how it is.
“Where are my daughters buried? Please tell me, young friend.” Lin Mingzhi asked.
“An abandoned Red Gold Mine in the inner area of Dahei Mountain.” Qin Jiang said.
“Thank you, young friend. I will remember this kindness. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to the Governor's Mansion to find me. I will take my leave now.”
With that, Lin Mingzhi's figure disappeared.
Qin Jiang couldn't help but sigh. The gap between Divine Warriors was indeed huge. With his current strength, he was already not weaker than a Fifth-Stage Divine Warrior, but in front of the Seventh-Stage Divine Warrior Lin Mingzhi, he could only barely perceive the trajectory of the other party's departure.
In that case, the gap between an Eighth-Stage Divine Warrior and a True God would probably be even greater.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. This was good; if it were too weak, wouldn't it be very boring?
“Husband, what makes you so happy?” Xu Yanran's voice sounded in Qin Jiang's ear.
Qin Jiang smiled, “Governor Lin was just here.”
“Governor Lin! Lin Mingzhi, the Family Head of the Lin clan?!”
Xu Yanran asked in shock. That was a Provincial Governor! His status in the entire Yuan Province was second only to the current Sect Leader of Changshou!
In fact, in terms of influence over Yuan Province, he was even above the Sect Leader of Changshou!
But just now, she hadn't felt anything at all?
He was now a Third-Stage Secret Martial Artist, with extraordinary strength, but it seemed to make no difference compared to ordinary people when it came to Divine Warriors.
“Yes, if you have any difficulties, you can go to the Governor's Mansion to find him and mention my name.” Qin Jiang said.
Xu Yanran's mouth opened slightly, looking at Qin Jiang with some surprise. She had already prepared to make a big splash in the Prefecture City, but now it seemed she didn't have to?
With the Governor's Mansion backing her, who in the entire Yuan Province would dare to provoke her?
“Whoa~~~”
“Master, Madam, we've arrived.” The coachman reined in the carriage and said.
Stepping down from the carriage, Qin Jiang looked at the mansion in front of him. It wasn't very large, but it was more than enough to accommodate a hundred people, not to mention the convoy only had less than ten people.
“Let's tidy up. We'll be living here from now on.”
“Yes, Master.”
In the afternoon, Qin Jiang left the Qin Mansion and walked towards the location of the Longevity Sect.
Although he had no map, he had already sensed the rich aura of life when he first entered the city.
If he was not mistaken, that was where the Longevity Sect was located.
Soon, after passing through a street, his vision suddenly widened. In front of him were continuous mountains, with houses vaguely visible nestled among them.
A wide stone staircase, ten meters wide, stretched out of sight.
At this moment, a figure was sprinting down the stone steps, “Senior! Senior! This Junior is late!”
Bang!
The person landed heavily on the ground, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble.
“Senior! I am truly sorry! Please forgive me!”
As the dust settled, Yuan Anyi bowed with clasped fists to apologize.
“Fellow Daoist, you are too polite. I just arrived as well.” Qin Jiang smiled.
“I am ashamed. Senior, please come in quickly! The Sect Master is already waiting!”
Walking on the stone steps, Qin Jiang's gaze constantly swept over the surrounding mountains. Longevity Sect Disciples occasionally passed by.
It was just that each and every one of them was a bit too robust.
He saw at least thirty Disciples, almost every one of them a muscular man with bare arms.
“Fellow Daoist, why are all the Disciples of your esteemed Sect so robust?”
