Chapter 180: It's Not All About Fighting and Killing; There Are Also Human Relationships and Worldly Ways

Xiao Bai, who was also a bit of an old hand at these things, immediately understood what Xiao Qing meant and rolled her eyes. Seeing Lin Xuan standing by the door watching them, she immediately got up, went before Lin Xuan, and thanked him.

"Many thanks, Benefactor."

"No need for thanks; it seems your harvest was not small."

Lin Xuan had naturally already confirmed this.

"The harvest was indeed great."

Xiao Bai nodded.

"Then that means doing it this way works."

Lin Xuan was not stingy, "Then later, when you two are cultivating, I will give you some pill fire."

Pill fire was renewable for Lin Xuan; what he needed to improve was the quality of the pill fire, and as for the quantity, while he wouldn't say he had as much as he wanted, it was close enough.

Besides, he hadn't consumed much last night.

He also didn't dare to release too much, otherwise Xiao Bai definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Then I want some tonight too!"

Xiao Qing leaned over, looking eager.

"You may."

Lin Xuan did not refuse this time.

"Then what about today?"

Xiao Bai looked outside and asked hesitantly.

"Wait for the old man to return, then rest in the temple for a few days before heading down the mountain."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said.

"Is Benefactor's master still at Longhu Mountain?"

Xiao Qing asked curiously.

"Likely not; I reckon he's at the Lu family's."

As for Fang Dongtian's current whereabouts, Lin Xuan guessed he was either at Longhu Mountain or at the Lu family's.

And since he had gone to Longhu Mountain yesterday, he probably hadn't stayed there long.

……

Just as Lin Xuan had guessed, Fang Dongtian was at the Lu family's.

Lu Linglong had left Baiyun Guan, taken a flight directly, and then returned home.

"Great-grandfather, Master..."

Lu Linglong, who had come all the way to find Lu Jin, had just opened her mouth when she saw Fang Dongtian sitting across from Lu Jin drinking tea, and her eyes widened instantly.

"Ma... Master?"

Lu Linglong was dumbfounded.

When she left Baiyun Guan, Fang Dongtian hadn't even come out of seclusion; how had he run to her house now?

"Little Linglong, sit!"

Fang Dongtian beckoned happily and pointed to the seat beside him.

Hearing this, Lu Linglong sat down in confusion and looked at Fang Dongtian, her eyes constantly sizing him up.

"What? Worried that I, the old Daoist, am a fake?"

Noticing Lu Linglong's gaze, Fang Dongtian asked with a chuckle.

"No, not at all!"

Lu Linglong shook her head quickly, but the confusion on her face remained.

"Your master has broken through to the Yang Spirit; damn it, you old fellow, you didn't even break through to the Inner Elixir with a Longhu Golden Pill!"

Lu Jin explained to Lu Linglong, then said with an unhappy expression.

"Is the Yang Spirit not enough?"

Fang Dongtian glanced at Lu Jin and asked.

"If you had cultivated to the Yang Spirit yourself, then you'd be awesome... impressive, but you wasted an entire Longhu Golden Pill."

Lu Jin snorted, his heart bleeding as well.

Although it wasn't his, the Longhu Golden Pill that Lin Xuan had produced—the commotion, the scene—it clearly wasn't simple. The Ancestral Celestial Master had ascended with a single golden pill, yet Fang Dongtian had actually discarded his physical body to live on as a Yang Spirit.

"You have achieved the Yang Spirit?"

Although Lu Linglong was young, she had studied at Baiyun Guan before, and at that time, Fang Dongtian had explained to her the difference between a true Yang Spirit and a so-called one.

Now that her great-grandfather said so, it certainly wasn't an ordinary projection of the Yang Spirit.

"When the Nature cultivation is perfected, one may be called a Yang Spirit."

Lu Linglong said again.

After her words fell, Lu Jin became quiet instead; after his grumbling, his eyes could not hide his envy.

After all, who among cultivators does not hope to perfect their Nature and Life?

Unfortunately, how many people in this world can achieve it? Not a single one.

Even if Lin Xuan achieved the Inner Elixir...

Alright, except for him.

Lu Jin's thoughts shifted, and then he sighed.

"You old fellow are truly lucky."

In the end, this was what Lu Jin said.

"This is not something one can envy, but, but, I am going into seclusion later; you don't need to hide the news of my breakthrough to the Yang Spirit, old Lu, it's fine to let it be known."

Fang Dongtian said with a smile.

"What do you mean by this?"

These words clearly made Lu Jin somewhat puzzled; logically speaking, shouldn't it be kept hidden?

"It means nothing, but to return home without showing off one's success is like walking in silk robes in the dark."

Fang Dongtian still looked as cheerful as ever.

"Is it because of Lin Xuan?"

Lu Jin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fang Dongtian; although he said this, his tone was clearly somewhat uncertain.

But for Fang Dongtian to make such an unusual move, it was eighty percent likely because of Lin Xuan.

"That's true, the news of the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill certainly couldn't be kept hidden before; the commotion was too big, and there must be many people watching, probably all wanting to see what the result is."

Lu Jin narrowed his eyes and guessed.

"Come to think of it, it's actually a good thing you didn't form the Inner Pill; after all, wealth moves men's hearts, and this is even more precious than wealth. In the world of Outsiders, there is nothing more precious than this."

Lu Linglong listened from the side, completely confused, not knowing what kind of riddle her great-grandfather and Fang Dongtian were speaking in.

"Great-grandfather, Martial Grandfather, what are you two talking about? If others find out, it will definitely bring trouble to Senior Brother."

"That's not necessarily true; your Martial Grandfather has discarded his physical body."

Lu Jin shook his head and said. Lu Linglong was stunned, then looked at Fang Dongtian, and subconsciously raised her hand to poke Fang Dongtian's face.

"Not a ghost!"

Lu Linglong said with wide eyes.

"Of course not, but I could be."

Fang Dongtian said with a smile, not minding Lu Linglong's action.

"This can be considered a conclusion to the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill matter; after all, there are very few people who truly have the courage to discard their physical bodies."

Lu Jin added in explanation.

"If you put it that way, there are also very few people who can have the cultivation of life and nature like Martial Grandfather."

Lu Linglong now completely understood what the two elders meant.

"But Senior Brother definitely doesn't care about this; whoever provokes Senior Brother will be slapped away just like Wang Ai was, and then we'll see who dares to provoke him."

"Better to avoid trouble than to invite it."

Fang Dongtian naturally believed Lu Linglong's words, but trouble would be inevitable when the time came.

And Lin Xuan was someone who didn't want trouble.

"Then what about the Company? Even if others don't have designs on the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, what about other Pills?"

Lu Jin asked hesitantly.

"That will depend on whether they can persuade Little Xuan."

After all, Lin Xuan hadn't done it before, and the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill had truly succeeded.

"Really, you've reached your level, yet you still have to think so much."

Lu Linglong looked quite speechless.

"You little girl, not everything in this world is about fighting and killing; there are also human relationships and worldly affairs. Since Baiyun Guan is in this world, it cannot avoid them."

Fang Dongtian shook his head slightly.

"Anyway, I can't win an argument with you; I'm going to tell Senior Brother."

Lu Linglong said as she stood up and walked out, took out her phone, and dialed Lin Xuan's number.

After the call connected, Lu Linglong spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube, finishing the situation in one go.

"Mm, I know!"

Lin Xuan's voice came through, and Lu Linglong listened to Lin Xuan's tone.

"Senior Brother?"

"The two old gentlemen are doing it for my own good, so this is fine; I actually don't really care about this."

Lin Xuan's voice was very calm, and this tone could be heard clearly through the phone.

It seemed he really didn't care about this.
