Chapter 1267: Regarding becoming an immortal! I can share the research success with you!

Zhang Lin specifically emphasized this point because he did not want Wu Ya to fall into that kind of self-indulgent sentimentality.

In his view, this was completely unnecessary. The key was that Zhang Lin had many things to do later, and he had no time to dwell on these trivial matters.

For Zhang Lin, the most important thing was to quickly figure out these mutated red and white filaments and let the two archaeological teams continue their journey.

The Cloud-Top Heavenly Palace, the Nine Dragons Carrying the Corpse, the Western Xia Emperor—all of this still needed to be explored!

Was there really the shadow of Wang Canghai behind it, and what exactly did the other party leave behind there?

Zhang Lin still needed to explore, and then there was the topic of immortality that all the readers were interested in.

As long as the two archaeological teams continued to walk forward, they could not escape the concept of immortality.

And within this entire concept, Zhang Lin had far too much to say. As the secrets were revealed bit by bit, everyone's interest was stirred up.

Zhang Lin naturally could not stop this sense of anticipation at this time. After all the anticipation was built up, it would be the moment the final secret was revealed.

However, this was a very long process, including the game of chess with Wang Canghai. Now, Zhang Lin had ten thousand ways to kill Wang Canghai.

In the few days of contact, Wang Canghai himself did not know to what extent he had been exposed.

So now, Zhang Lin did not need to be too entangled with Wang Canghai's own situation.

And just when Wu Ya wanted to say something else, Zhang Lin's phone suddenly rang. He saw it was still that foreign number, smiled slightly, sat on the sofa, and answered the call.

"You're calling me quite frequently, aren't you?"

Wang Canghai had completely regained his composure on the other end, then spoke slowly, "Zhang Lin, actually you don't need to hold such a lighthearted attitude when talking to me. My servant's reminder was right; perhaps it's just because the conditions I offered were not tempting enough."

"You intentionally or unintentionally revealed the situation regarding the red and white filaments just now, which indeed provoked my anger, but all of this no longer has any meaning to me."

"Zhang Lin, you want to know how I made the red and white filaments mutate. This point, which seems like a casual question, is actually your ultimate goal, right?"

Wang Canghai analyzed Zhang Lin step by step and told the other party all the results of his analysis.

He wanted to use this method to force Zhang Lin to choose to compromise.

After compromising, everything would naturally be back in his hands.

Having figured this out, Wang Canghai naturally would not have any hesitation, but now Zhang Lin shook his head.

He could not imagine that Wang Canghai still held such a naive mentality, or rather, that making this call itself was an attempt to bring up the fantasy of cooperation with him again.

At first, Wang Canghai's so-called cooperation might have just been to make Zhang Lin submit to him. Now, Wang Canghai was probably holding entirely a mentality of cooperation, meaning he wanted to complete certain collaborations with Zhang Lin under an equal relationship.

He hoped that Zhang Lin could use some methods to help him fulfill those long-unfulfilled wishes.

In the overall situation, Wang Canghai only hoped that Zhang Lin would no longer obstruct anything he did. If Zhang Lin could find the Dust-Suppressing Pearl without obtaining the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, then Wang Canghai would be even happier.

Wang Canghai took a deep breath, and before Zhang Lin could say anything else, he continued, "Zhang Lin, I won't play games with you either. If you are truly willing to cooperate with me, I don't need you to make any promises. I can even not interfere with anything regarding the two archaeological teams later."

"As long as you find the Dust-Suppressing Pearl, you give it to me. You all just want to break the curse; I can wait. And my goal is very clear: inside the Dust-Suppressing Pearl is the secret to becoming an immortal. This has been my long-cherished wish. You should understand what kind of person I am."

"Ever since I knew immortality existed, I have been pursuing it, and in the end, I succeeded. This means that I will absolutely stop at nothing to get what I want."

Zhang Lin chuckled at this last sentence and said, "I know, I know you too well. Otherwise, you wouldn't have let your subordinate, that Jack, cause so much trouble."

Wang Canghai did not care about Zhang Lin's attitude and said, "Anyway, this is all I can say for now. And what I can give you is not just the secret of the mutated red and white filaments; don't you want to know about becoming an immortal?"

"I can share the results I've explored over these years with you."

Zhang Lin laughed loudly, shook his head, and said, "Do you take me for one of those brain-dead subordinates of yours? Becoming an immortal?"

"You haven't even figured out immortality yet, save it. Becoming an immortal doesn't exist, it simply doesn't exist, understand?"

In fact, regarding the series of matters about becoming an immortal, Zhang Lin knew some answers, more or less!

The key was that this matter was even more shocking than immortality. Even if it really existed, Zhang Lin wouldn't even mention it.

Instead, he used a very firm tone to tell everyone that such a thing simply did not exist. This was different from immortality; he could intentionally or unintentionally use immortality to whet everyone's appetite.

But if he were to talk about becoming an immortal, that would be a revolution.

Under the revolution of the era, it would drive many people to madness!

Regarding the topic of immortality, those who lived tired lives, or those ordinary people, would only think of it as a beautiful dream.

Even if he told them that this matter was truly real, these people wouldn't care too much.

There was only one reason: everything they had experienced led these people to not want immortality.

They even thought that the longer they lived, the more painful it would be for them.

Since they had such thoughts, the subsequent matters were very easy to handle, which was why Zhang Lin could use immortality to tell stories.

They just listened to it as a story, not thinking that they could obtain these things, although there would be more or less people coveting immortality behind the scenes.

But this was only a minority, and Zhang Lin was adept at dealing with these people.

Moreover, among the small number of people, there were few who were strong. When the authorities saw what methods they had, they would strike directly. Dealing with them was even easier; Zhang Lin didn't even need to do anything himself.

Under this premise, Zhang Lin could easily walk on the edge of a knife. But if the matter of becoming an immortal were revealed, all their concepts would change.

At the starting point of that seated golden body, Zhang Lin saw Wang Canghai's ultimate goal.

Although he had been discussing questions about the seated golden body and so on with the readers, careful people could discover that Zhang Lin was actually unwilling to mention anything about becoming an immortal.

He even forcibly linked that seated golden body to Daoist culture and made everyone understand that such a thing absolutely did not exist.
