Chapter 659: Five Declines of Heaven and Man

After the Old Drunkard looked at him with drunken, hazy eyes, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Consider you, brat, to have heart!

With your strength, going out to execute missions this time, there should be quite a few extra gains, right?"

Lin Zhangqing didn't know why the Old Drunkard would suddenly ask this question, but he still answered truthfully: "It's alright!

There was a type of spirit beast, and the harvest was relatively large, ten more than the mission required; does you, old man, have any need for it?"

The Old Drunkard rolled his eyes at him unhappily, and then said: "What need do I have? It's your disciple who has a need!"

Hearing the Old Drunkard say this, Lin Zhangqing was even more confused and couldn't help but ask him: "How did this get involved with Li Qinchuan again?"

The Old Drunkard said indifferently: "With your personality, are you planning to directly exchange these extra spirit materials to the sect?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "That's right, that's my idea; this saves time and effort, and being able to have more time for cultivation, isn't that better?"

The Old Drunkard ignored him and continued: "Exchanging these spirit materials to the sect immediately loses 30% of their value! You can completely hand them over to your disciple and let him take them to the trading square organized by the disciples within the sect to sell! You only need to give him a reward of 10% or 20%; isn't that very good, as you both get real benefits?"

Lin Zhangqing heard this and finally knew what the Old Drunkard was planning; he didn't expect it to be helping the Li family again! By this time, Lin Zhangqing finally couldn't help but ask: "Junior Uncle! What is the relationship between the Li family and you? Is it worth you laboring and worrying for them like this?"

After the Old Drunkard heard this, he sighed long and hard, and then remained silent for quite a while before saying: "I had originally prepared to accept Li Qinchuan's father as a true personal disciple, but the border was truly too dangerous, and in the end, I didn't wait for him to return! But even so, I have regarded the family members he left behind as my own people! We are just this kind of relationship; it's not as complicated as you think!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded after hearing this and didn't say anything; he suddenly felt a heavy twilight aura on the Old Drunkard's body.

It seemed as if there was nothing in the world worth him lingering on anymore.

Logically speaking, this kind of aura shouldn't be felt on a Golden Core cultivator like him.

At the very least, it should wait until the Old Drunkard began the Five Declines of Heaven and Man before this situation would appear!

It seems that many bad things must have happened to the Old Drunkard, no wonder he was drunk and dreaming of death all day long!

And the matter the Old Drunkard mentioned didn't have any loss for him, and even had a little benefit, so Lin Zhangqing wouldn't refuse.

Thus he said: "Alright, I understand!

Li Qinchuan is my disciple in name anyway; in the future, if there are extra spirit materials, I will hand them over to him to deal with! I will do as you said and give him a reward of 20%!"

After the Old Drunkard heard this, he didn't say anything more! Seeing him like this, Lin Zhangqing was just about to take his leave!

He didn't expect the Old Drunkard to suddenly say again: "Lin brat, what do you say we cultivate for?"

Before Lin Zhangqing could answer,

he continued: "Is it for longevity? Or for moving mountains and filling seas, catching stars and taking the moon? Or for roaming the ten thousand worlds, great freedom, great ease?

But if a lonely person possesses these, what's the point?" Hearing the Old Drunkard say this, Lin Zhangqing had already guessed what happened to him! According to his guess, all of the Old Drunkard's closest relatives should be gone, which was why he was drunk and dreaming of death all day long!

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't know how to comfort him, so he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "

Junior Uncle! You say, when we cultivate to become immortals, can we resurrect our deceased relatives!"

As soon as the Old Drunkard heard this, his aura instantly soared, and two golden lights shot out from his eyes, like two sharp swords! But after just a moment, this aura disappeared again! The Old Drunkard sighed and said: "Cultivating to become an immortal, where is there such an easy thing! But thank you anyway; although it is truly illusory and difficult to reach, it has finally left me a thought! In the future, I will strive to move forward with this goal, so these two things are given to you!"

After speaking, he took out two jade slips, one black and one cyan, from the storage bracelet on his hand and threw them to Lin Zhangqing.

And he continued: "Inside the black jade slip is a thunder-attribute cultivation method with a grade close to Heaven-rank, named "Nine Heavens Divine Punishment Technique".

This is a cultivation method I obtained while exploring in the past, but I didn't hand it over to the sect! So you can seriously consider whether you want to change your cultivation method!

And inside the cyan jade slip are my cultivation insights over these years; you can read and compare them yourself when you have time, and I hope they will be helpful to you!

Also, in the future, I will put most of my energy into cultivation; you must take care of the three members of the Li family more.

If I am in closed-door cultivation, if there is anything, you can also go and discuss it with Xiao Jiu!"

Lin Zhangqing didn't expect that a sentence of his that was almost a bluff could actually stimulate the Old Drunkard and make him undergo such a big change.

And he also harvested two jade slips, one of which was a high-grade thunder-type cultivation method.

It could be considered for opening his middle dantian, but the specific situation would have to wait until he had studied it before he knew if it would work!

However, the Old Drunkard seemed to still want to hand the three members of the Li family to him and that person surnamed Zhao to take care of, which was a bit troublesome! But seeing the Old Drunkard like this, he didn't dare to refuse directly, lest he be dealt with on the spot!

Thus he said with a grin: "Many thanks to Junior Uncle for bestowing the method; disciple has kept in mind the things you instructed! If you, old man, have no other matters, then I will go and hand in the mission first!"

After speaking, he wanted to take his leave!

He didn't expect the Old Drunkard to say again at this time: "Lin brat, what are you in such a rush for? I still have things I haven't finished saying? How have you been getting along with Li Xiangting during this period? Have you seriously considered my opinion?"

Lin Zhangqing didn't know why he suddenly brought up this question again, but he still answered: "The relationship is just ordinary, probably just like that!

Junior Uncle, the opinion you mentioned, wouldn't be to let me take Li Xiangting, right?

Although she looks good, she is truly too green; I feel that finding her is not as good as finding her mother, Murong Qingyan!

At the very least, Murong Qingyan looks mature and plump, and is also round and jade-like, much better than that green little girl!"
