Chapter 495 The Monster That Eats Human Souls

Chapter 495 The Monster That Eats Human Souls

Zhang Lingfeng suddenly realized that he had become a member of the Wang family, and that Wang Lin was both the introducer and the guarantor, and that he actually had to take responsibility.

Now that his immortal energy is over 200.0, as long as it reaches 250.0, he can try to break through to the Earth Immortal level. Let alone fifty years, Zhang Lingfeng would think it is too slow if he cannot break through within five years.

So he looked at Wang Lin seriously.

Wang Lin hesitated, but seeing Zhang Lingfeng's curious and serious eyes, he said to the manager, "Okay, I understand."

"Hehehe, Mr. Wang, don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled.

Wang Lin felt like he was being forced into a task.

"Follow me in your cultivation from now on. I will guide you wholeheartedly and help you achieve the status of an earthly immortal as soon as possible. If you fail to achieve the status of an earthly immortal within fifty years, don't blame me for being rude."

Wang Lin said seriously, not wanting to be playful with Zhang Lingfeng.

"Okay, Teacher Wang must teach me how to practice every day, preferably one-on-one."

Zhang Lingfeng was worried that he had no place to get the lying value.

While practicing at Wang Family Academy, Wang Lin and other teachers faced so many students, but he could only obtain about 200 Lying Flat Values ​​every day. If he could get one-on-one instruction from Wang Lin, perhaps he could obtain 600 or even 700 or 800 Lying Flat Values ​​every day.

Not only does he want to achieve the status of a human immortal, he also wants to increase the size of his soul energy so that he can gain a foothold in the upper world as soon as possible and go find Zhuang Bihao to help him achieve a breakthrough.

Of course, it is also possible that by the time he found the other party, Zhuang Bihao had already made a breakthrough.

With the help of Wang Lin, Zhang Lingfeng finally became a member of the Wang family. Although he still lived in Wangjia Village, he moved into a new courtyard. Not only was the yard wider and larger, the formations and restrictions were also more advanced. There was also a secret room for training, and it was even equipped with some alchemy facilities.

In addition, Zhang Lingfeng also obtained the Immortal Essence Strengthening Method, Immortal Essence Breathing Method, and Immortal Essence Transformation Method.

Unfortunately, he only needs the Immortal Energy Breathing Method, and the Immortal Energy Strengthening Method and the Immortal Energy Transformation Method can no longer help him increase the amount of Immortal Energy.

"After becoming a Taoist immortal, will there be a stronger method of cultivating immortal essence?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

"Nonsense, wait until you become a human immortal, and you can have any kind of skills you want."

Wang Lin felt that Zhang Lingfeng was too ambitious and worried that Zhang Lingfeng's mind was unstable and he would not be able to achieve immortality within fifty years. So he recommended and guaranteed that Zhang Lingfeng would become a member of the Wang family. Was it right?

In the following days, Zhang Lingfeng followed Wang Lin to practice. With Wang Lin's personal guidance, Zhang Lingfeng could obtain nearly 700 lying-flat points every day, which was much more than what he usually did when practicing at the Wang Family Academy.

Not only does he not have to pay tuition, but he can also receive resource subsidies from the Wang family. The only thing he needs to do is to achieve the status of an earthly immortal within fifty years and avoid letting Wang Lin be punished.

Of course, during this period, you also need to passively accept tasks.

Wang Lin had already told him that he would go out with him on a mission in a while to kill a red-gold fox.

For this reason, Wang Lin tried every possible way to improve Zhang Lingfeng's strength during this period. Although he knew that the improvement would not be much, he also hoped that Zhang Lingfeng could gain some experience and be able to help when fighting with the Red-Gold Fox.

Of course, the Red-Gold Fox is a magical beast of the Earth Immortal level, and Wang Lin needs to deal with it by himself. When the time comes, Zhang Lingfeng will go there just to lend a hand.

So he focused on teaching Zhang Lingfeng how to sneak attack the Red Gold Fox, prevent the Red Gold Fox from leaving, etc.

Unfortunately, in order to practice lying flat to the end and gain more lying flat points, Zhang Lingfeng did not study seriously, which made Wang Lin a little mentally broken. She always felt that she had made a fool of herself and might have to pay a heavy price.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingfeng knew how to comfort Wang Lin and taught her how to play mahjong and other games, how to relax and avoid anxiety in her busy schedule, and even watched many action movies with her.

As a powerful earthly immortal, Wang Lin was knowledgeable and experienced, but he had never been exposed to worldly entertainment. For this reason, after a month or two, he even forgot about dealing with the red-gold fox. He and Zhang Lingfeng spent the whole day playing in silence. Invisibly, Zhang Lingfeng accumulated more and more lying value.

"Wang Lin, why don't you give the mission of the Red-Gold Fox to my son?"

Three months later, a voice broke Zhang Lingfeng and Wang Lin's drunken and dreamy life.

"Humph, killing the red-gold fox is a task assigned to me by the Elders. If you want to ask the Elders to redistribute it, and if the Elders do not agree, you can also enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range to kill the red-gold foxes. Anyway, if you kill a few more red-gold foxes, you can also get credit."

Wang Lin said sarcastically.

The Wang family assigns tasks to their children every day. There are many tasks to kill the red-gold fox, but the rewards obtained are different.

Wang Lin was assigned more tasks with higher rewards, because the task of killing the red-gold fox was obtained through his merits, which was equivalent to using merits to obtain a simple task, and then obtaining a generous reward by completing a simple task.

Other disciples can do the same, but they need to redeem it with merits.

Generally speaking, everyone will accumulate merits and use the simplest tasks to sprint for the highest task reward they can get.

Wang Jinshan has done the same.

Unfortunately, his merits have been used up. Even if he killed the same red-gold fox, the reward he would get would be far less than Wang Lin's. The two had many conflicts in private. He deliberately said this mainly to disgust Wang Lin and prevent Wang Lin from getting a generous reward.

"Why are you in such a hurry? My father and I really want to go to the Monster Mountain Range to kill the Red-Gold Fox. We are worried that by then we will have killed all the Red-Gold Foxes. What if you enter the Monster Mountain Range and encounter a Red-Gold Fox King?"

Wang Jinshan threatened.

"Then please go into the mountains and kill all the red-gold foxes, leaving the strongest one for me. I will thank you very much."

Wang Lin said sarcastically.

"Uncle Wang, you misunderstood my father's intention. My father hopes that we can cooperate. The two of us can ensure that Uncle Wang can complete the task, but the reward..."

Wang Yijin smiled.

He possesses the strength of a first-level Earth Immortal, with an Immortal Energy value of over 300.0.

Wang Jinshan possesses the strength of a fourth-level Earth Immortal, and his cultivation is higher than Wang Lin's.

The Wang family has many descendants, including direct descendants and collateral descendants. Wang Lin and Wang Jinshan are both collateral descendants, and they are the type of descendants with fewer resources. Both of them want to get closer to direct descendants and get more family resources.

It’s a pity that if the descendants of the side branches want to be cultivated by the Wang family, they not only need to prove themselves as celestial immortals, but also have to achieve it within 500 years. Wang Lin and Wang Jinshan both lost the opportunity.

However, Wang Yijin has only been an earthly immortal for a little over a hundred years, and he still has more than three hundred years to become a celestial immortal. Both father and son believe that as long as he has sufficient resources for cultivation, Wang Yijin can achieve the status of a celestial immortal within five hundred years and successfully become a direct descendant of the Wang family.

For this reason, I have been trying to find ways to obtain more cultivation resources.

He set his sights on Wang Lin.

Zhang Lingfeng knew that wherever there were people, there was the underworld, but he was not clear about the grudge between Wang Lin and Wang Jinshan, father and son.

"You're dreaming!"

Wang Lin interrupted Wang Yijin.

“If you and your son hadn’t stopped me back then, I, Wang Lin, would have achieved more than this. Maybe I would have already achieved immortality and become a direct descendant of the family. You didn’t let me get my wish back then, so don’t even think about asking me to let you get your wish today.” Wang Lin once had an opportunity, but unfortunately it was ruined by Wang Jinshan and his son. Although he didn’t talk much about it over the years, he had never forgotten this matter in his heart.

"People should look forward. Uncle Wang, why is this happening? I can assure Uncle Wang that as long as Uncle Wang helps me become a legitimate descendant of the family, I will protect Uncle Wang in the future and treat Uncle Wang as my biological father."

Wang Yijin said solemnly.

"Bah, shameless thing."

Wang Lin spat fiercely.

"Don't be shameless."

Wang Yijin was angry.

He looked at Zhang Lingfeng who was standing beside him and said sneerfully, "My fellow Taoist, why don't you abandon the dark and join the light, follow us father and son, and we can guarantee that you will have no worries or disasters in your life."

"Don't bother yourself. I'm doing fine with Teacher Wang."

Zhang Lingfeng was grateful to Wang Lin, so how could he be bewitched by Wang Yijin?

"My fellow Taoist, if we are not mistaken, Wang Lin guarantees to introduce you to become a member of our Wang family, but there is a prerequisite. He wants you to help him kill the red-gold fox, right?"

Wang Jinshan said.

"Don't pay attention to them."

Wang Lin didn't want Zhang Lingfeng to get too entangled with Wang Jinshan and his son.

"He must have said that he only asked you to help scout the enemy and would not let you do it yourself. But we have to remind you that the red-gold fox can eat human souls. As long as you are seen, your soul will be attacked. He has a magic weapon that can protect the soul. You have to ask yourself, do you have it?"

Wang Yijin could clearly see that Wang Lin was panicking.

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned. This matter was indeed beyond his expectations.

He really didn't know that the red-gold fox could eat people's souls and would attack them just by looking at them, but he was a soul master and his soul was naturally protected by soul power.

The so-called magical instruments and immortal instruments that can protect the soul are actually also defending the soul through the power of soul essence, allowing those practitioners who do not possess soul essence power to obtain the protection of soul essence power through the so-called magical instruments and immortal instruments.

At the beginning, when Wang Lin recommended him to become a member of the Wang family and guaranteed that he would achieve the status of an earthly immortal within fifty years, Zhang Lingfeng felt a little strange.

He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch and no one would be nice to him for no reason. Even if Wang Lin felt that he could become an earthly immortal within fifty years and receive a reward from the Wang family, there was still an element of gambling involved.

But Zhang Lingfeng actually benefited from the Wang family, so he didn't think much about it.

Now I learned from Wang Yijin that Wang Lin’s biggest goal was to attract the attention of the red-gold fox with my help. This was what the so-called raiding meant.

As for why not look for other people to help.

It must be a matter of interest distribution and trust.

After understanding the reason, Zhang Lingfeng saw that Wang Lin's expression became unnatural, which meant that Wang Yijin did not lie to him, so he said: "I am willing to help Teacher Wang kill the red gold fox, even if my soul flies away, I am willing and fearless!"

Wang Lin was stunned.

"Teacher Wang, let's go back and play mahjong. Don't waste time here."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled.

Since he understood human nature and knew that only by giving can one get rewards, it is impossible for a person to be nice to others for no reason. Accepting this logic and reality, how could Zhang Lingfeng blame Wang Lin?

What's more, he and Wang Lin were hiding things from each other, so there was no right or wrong in this.

He did gain benefits from Wang Lin, such as cultivation resources and even lying-flat points, so it was also natural for Wang Lin to gain rewards through him.

"it is good."

Wang Lin was caught off guard.

He was inexplicably moved in his heart. Zhang Lingfeng was not bewitched by Wang Yijin. When he knew that Wang Yijin wanted to use him, he still stood by him without hesitation. This showed that he was loyal and righteous, and not a fickle person. Perhaps after he received the reward, he could give Zhang Lingfeng more resources for cultivation and help him become a terrestrial immortal within fifty years.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

Wang Yijin looked gloomy.

No matter what, Wang Lin is still a descendant of the Wang family. Even if he is not a direct descendant of the Wang family, the blood on his body is the blood of the Wang family. And Zhang Lingfeng, a newly arrived ascender from the lower world, dared to contradict him.

If Wang Lin had killed Zhang Lingfeng directly when he was on duty, the Wang family would not have done anything to him as long as he did not have solid evidence. Even if Wang Lin caught him with evidence, he would not have to pay for Zhang Lingfeng's life.

It can be said that in the eyes of Wang Yijin and Wang Jinshan, father and son, Zhang Lingfeng is no different from a dead person. If he can’t deal with Wang Lin, how can he not deal with an ascender from the lower realm?
“What the father and son said just now is actually correct. The Red-Gold Fox can indeed attack the soul, and only a soul master can easily capture it. The reason why I didn’t tell you is not because I want to recruit you as cannon fodder, but because I’m afraid that you will escape from the battlefield and no one will help me kill the Red-Gold Fox. So if you regret it now, it’s not too late.

I will continue to guide you in your cultivation, as long as you can attain earthly immortality within fifty years."

After hesitating for a while, Wang Lin told the truth. He knew that they had to be honest about this matter, otherwise both sides would feel uncomfortable. What if Zhang Lingfeng escaped from the battlefield, or if he did not trust Zhang Lingfeng, it would not be so easy to complete the task.

"I have known for a long time that this matter is not that easy, but with such a cultivation ability, there is no such thing as gaining something for nothing. Since I am willing to follow Teacher Wang, I will definitely not betray Teacher Wang."

Zhang Lingfeng said this solemnly.

"Okay, don't worry, I will help you prepare a magical weapon that can defend your soul."

Wang Lin said excitedly.

"Ah."

Zhang Lingfeng did not refuse.

He didn't want to reveal that he was a soul master.

In the days to come, Wang Lin will guide Zhang Lingfeng in his practice while going to the black market to inquire about and buy magical weapons that can defend the soul. He already has one and wants to give one to Zhang Lingfeng. No matter what the level is, since Zhang Lingfeng has helped him wholeheartedly, he cannot let Zhang Lingfeng down.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was finally time for Wang Lin to carry out his mission.

Zhang Lingfeng also accumulated lying flat value for half a year, the amount of lying flat value was about 700 per day. In half a year, he accumulated nearly 130,000 lying flat value in total.

He could finally continue to improve his immortal essence, allowing the value to break through 300.0, successfully becoming an earthly immortal, and try to improve his soul essence.
