Chapter 360 Gift Giving
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yuyao."
Hearing someone call her name, Lin Lanxin turned around and saw Zhang Lingyu, dressed in green, walking towards her with a smile.
She knew this person; he came from a Foundation Establishment family. After the war started, he not only joined forces with Song Siyu to kill Xue Yang of the Blood Flame Sect outside Tianliu City, but also recaptured the Lingyue Mountain position and killed the Purple Sable Demon King.
Even Blood Dragon Stronghold was destroyed under his leadership.
It is said that half a day ago, another severely injured Golden Core demonic cultivator was killed...
This series of brilliant achievements is truly dazzling, especially considering that Zhang Lingyu had only been at the Golden Core stage for less than half a year...
Many Golden Core cultivators secretly discussed whether they had received some extraordinary inheritance.
He was a cultivator from the Azure Wave Sect, while the other party was a guest elder of the Jade Light Pavilion. Their interactions were limited to exchanging a few words at various meetings, and they could hardly be considered familiar with each other.
Why did you suddenly contact her?
Lin Lanxin stopped and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Yuyao, I am only a few years older than you, so I dare not call you senior. It would be better if we addressed each other as fellow Daoist."
"I wonder if you stopped me because you have something to tell me?"
"How dare I ask for a favor? I just wish to ask you for a small favor..." Zhang Lingyu said, bowing.
"Although your cultivation level is the same as mine, your skills are quite remarkable. If you cannot solve this yourself, how can I possibly help you?" Lin Lanxin shook her head and refused.
"Fellow Daoist Lanxin, you misunderstand. The True Lord just said that you are responsible for guarding Cloud Hidden Valley, overseeing the repair of the great formation, and defending against the demon race..."
Zhang Lingyu was a little embarrassed and continued:
"It's quite a coincidence that many cultivators in my clan are assigned to work under you, Fellow Daoist. The problem is that I'm going north with True Monarch. You know the situation in the north. It's hard to say whether we'll live or die on this trip. I'm a little worried about them, so I'd like to ask you to help take care of them."
Although the situation in the south has eased considerably, the demon race could launch a comeback at any time. He had bestowed many talismans, but he was still worried about the safety of Wang Menghan and the others.
After all, besides being on the defensive, the six sects would still send some cultivators into the Myriad Spirits Mountains to investigate the situation...
He was not by his family's side, and his family had no stable backing within the sect, so he was bound to be looked down upon and even assigned to dangerous missions.
"I see... so they've come to use connections."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lanxin breathed a slight sigh of relief and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, fellow Daoist. I have been ordered to guard Cloud Hidden Valley, and I will certainly protect the safety of the many disciples. You need not worry about this, fellow Daoist. I am not yet..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other party quietly slipped him a jade box.
"Fellow Daoist Yuyao, what's going on?"
"Fellow Daoist, one glance is enough to know what it is."
"You... sigh."
This was the first time Lin Lanxin had ever accepted something in private. She wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a while, she reached out and took it. After all, judging from Zhang Lingyu's serious expression, it was probably something good.
The jade box could not block divine sense; a quick glance was enough to reveal the truth.
With just one glance, Lin Lanxin's gaze was immediately fixed, and her body trembled slightly as her heart raced. If others had seen this, they would have inevitably had all sorts of wild thoughts.
Her pretty face flushed red, and after a long while she stammered, "Fellow Daoist, this is far too valuable for me to accept."
"Fellow Daoist, please accept it. As you know, I cultivate the Fire element, so this item is not of much use to me. I will probably sell it or exchange it for other spiritual items in the future."
Zhang Lingyu did not take it back, but smiled and said, "The six sects are of the same lineage, and we will have many interactions in the future. I may need your help, so consider it a favor."
"Furthermore... I sincerely want your help, fellow Daoist..."
There was no other reason than that Lin Lanxin cultivated the virtue of water, and the jade box contained a Sunflower Water Clarity Pill, which was of great benefit to cultivation.
This pill was not obtained from the Demon King or the Golden Core Demon Cultivator, but was specially exchanged from the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box.
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, this pill is of great benefit to me, so I will shamelessly accept it."
Seeing Zhang Lingyu's resolute attitude, Lin Lanxin struggled for a long time before finally putting the item into her storage bag. At the same time, she said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will definitely keep your instructions in mind. In addition, I owe you a great favor."
"If you return safely, I will repay you. If anything happens to you, I will take good care of the Zhang family."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. With that, I am relieved," Zhang Lingyu replied with a smile.
If something happens to me, my family will take care of me with the help of the Jade Light Pavilion. It's always better to have more friends than not to have any.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two parted ways.
Instead of rushing to her family, Zhang Lingyu went to see Song Siyu, Xuan Shui, and other familiar Golden Core cultivators from the Jade Light Pavilion, but it was still about the same old things.
"Why does this feel like a funeral..."
After finishing his work, he chuckled self-deprecatingly before heading towards his family.
......
After months of fierce fighting, almost all the aristocratic cultivators in Yingchuan County were killed or wounded.
Of the several family heads who were able to establish their foundations in previous years by obtaining foundation-building spiritual objects from the Zhang family, all except for the heads of the Huang and Du families perished.
Of the several family heads who were able to establish their foundations in previous years by obtaining foundation-building spiritual objects from the Zhang family, all except for the heads of the Huang and Du families perished.
The Huang and Du families were Zhang's trusted vassals, so they received extra care during the great battle, which saved their lives.
However, their injuries have severely damaged their foundations, and they will probably never be able to advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.
Besides the vassal families below them, the Zhang family was also having a hard time.
In just a few months, nine Foundation Establishment cultivators perished, including three high-ranking members of the family: Zhang Yuanyi, Zhang Xingfeng, and Zhang Ling'an. The rest were all guest Foundation Establishment cultivators...
There are over three hundred Qi Refining cultivators in total...
The rest were either injured or crippled, with only Zhang Xingyao, Wang Menghan, and Zhang Yuanyao suffering minor injuries.
The deaths of Zhang Yuanyi and the other two were a heavy blow to the family. If the great war had not occurred, the three of them should have reached the late Foundation Establishment stage or even the peak of their cultivation by now.
But he fell just like that...
Fortunately, the remains were recovered, and now they are just waiting for the war to end before returning to their clan for burial.
"That was truly devastating..."
Looking at the scattered, limping cultivators before him, Zhang Lingyu felt a pang of unease...
Overall, however, it can be considered lucky, since Yingchuan County was not invaded by demonic cultivators or beast tides. Even if everyone died here, the family can still continue to exist by the cultivators who stayed behind.
As Zhang Lingyu landed, Zhang Xingyao and several other high-ranking members of the Zhang family quickly came forward to greet her.
"Uncle, how is it?"
"Fortunately, the casualties were not great. About ten Qi Refining cultivators died, but no Foundation Establishment cultivators died. Most of them just suffered some injuries. After all, we caught them off guard, and those demonic cultivators were in a hurry to escape and had no intention of fighting."
Zhang Xingyao quickly finished explaining his family situation, paused for a moment, and finally asked in a trembling voice:
"Lingyu, are you heading north?"
