Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 550 - 5: Diary

The grandfather and grandson pair from Qianyun Temple took a step back, eyes filled with fear, never expecting the power of this elder to be so exaggerated.

With a flip of his hand, he exterminated the Demon Lord—this is absolutely not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could achieve. Could it be...

Huang Qianyun swallowed hard, his entire body paralyzed there... Four large characters surfaced in his mind.

Golden Core Zhenren.

This elder turned out to be a Golden Core Zhenren!

Then just how ancient must this elder be?

From what he knows, not even those ancient martial arts Grandmasters who entered the path through martial arts and cleansed their mortal bodies during the End of Dharma Era were merely equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now, the ancient cultivators he knows that have survived are mostly these people.

Golden Core Zhenren—do they really exist?

"Elder." Huang Qianyun suddenly knelt down: "I will definitely not speak of what happened here."

"When did I tell you to keep your mouth shut?" Lin Jing looked at him: "If you want to talk about it, just go ahead. If you dare, you might as well report that Zhuge family."

"Having killed the Snake Demon, you think I would be afraid of offending the Zhuge family?"

Lin Jing waved his hand, using the light of Buddha to dispel the resentment here. This Snake Demon had eaten many people without causing a significant reaction from the outside world, likely having a protector.

The ancestor of the Zhuge family is a very suspicious candidate.

What the two may not know is that in another Cultivation Realm, he is known as the enemy of all worlds. Countless Dao powers want to kill him.

That enemy is far larger than the Zhuge family.

For some reason, Lin Jing finds watching hometown cultivators commit evil acts more unforgivable than seeing those from the Celestial Essence Realm do so.

Perhaps it’s because, in his impression, his hometown is a harmonious society...

"Th-this..." Huang Qianyun said with a bitter face, "Elder, this Zhuge family is beyond my capacity to offend. This family is one of the high-level core members of the Dao Alliance, who do I report to... In the end, it would probably be ’Whom shall we accuse here’?"

"I’ll go!" At this moment, Huang Zhixin next to him said, "What’s there to be afraid of? The Dao Alliance is not monopolized by the Zhuge family. If the Zhuge family is really colluding with Demon Beasts and harming innocents, they should pay the price and be legally sanctioned."

Lin Jing smiled. Compared to the timid Huang Qianyun, the young are fearless.

"Where are you going... to your death..." Huang Qianyun glared at her.

"Old man, it’s rare that your granddaughter still possesses a sense of justice, let her go. If it’s my suggestion, I wouldn’t send her to die." Lin Jing extended his hand, a ball of light integrating into the girl in the yellow dress: "Don’t worry, she won’t encounter any danger."

"Thank you, elder!" Although she doesn’t know what Lin Jing placed in her body, she can guess it must be some form of protection, Huang Zhixin knelt halfway down with gratitude and looked up: "I still don’t know how to address you."

"... My surname is Lin."

"Elder Lin..." Seeing Lin Jing bestow a treasure, Huang Qianyun looked conflicted, no longer saying anything. Saying more would make him appear too sentimental. With a Golden Core Immortal’s assurance, he was also relieved.

However, he couldn’t help but speak up: "Elder Lin, you possess vast Divine Techniques and aren’t afraid of revenge but times have changed. Modern developments have produced powerful Magical Treasures called ’technology’ that can easily flatten a city. Be cautious; you can learn more about them through the Magical Treasure called a mobile phone."

Lin Jing waved his hand, he was not truly an ancient, naturally knowing what Huang Qianyun was talking about. However, with his current cultivation, he can completely disregard Earth’s technology.

Moreover, technology is like an uncontrolled Magical Treasure, with a great limitation on its use; no force would dare to use it lightly.

After cleaning up the scene, the Huang family grandfather and grandson departed, and Lin Jing finally recovered his account password to log into his QQ.

A large string of game and novel group chats were ignored by Lin Jing, and upon hearing of Lin Jing’s passing, many classmates and friends privately sent him "Rest in peace", "Sleep in peace", "Hope you transcend to another world" as wishes through QQ.

Most people only sent a message and then went silent; Lin Jing did not dare to reply with thanks, fearing it might scare them.

Among many people, some sent over a hundred messages, treating Lin Jing’s QQ as a diary.

Lin Jing looked at the contact’s remarks and fell into reminiscence.

[Lin Lan].

Lin Lan was his cousin, but since her parents passed away in an accident during her childhood, Lin Lan had been fostered in his family.

Compared to Lin Jing, Lin Lan’s academic performance was better, and she was smarter and very filial, so after Lin Jing crossed over, he wasn’t worried about the home here.

As for his parents, at least there’s someone to care for them in old age, saving money from continuing treatment for him, which he saw as the best outcome.

After Lin Jing died, Lin Lan kept sending messages, recording daily occurrences at home.

After seeing them, Lin Jing chuckled, as the records said that although his parents were sorrowful after his passing, they soon adjusted. This didn’t surprise Lin Jing; after all, his parents were workaholics.

Usually, they didn’t care much about Lin Jing and Lin Lan’s affairs, immersing themselves in work; using work as a way to numb themselves was evidently a quick way out of the grief.

However, as he continued reading, Lin Jing’s expression suddenly turned calm; starting half a year ago, the record style changed.

The Lin family was in the jade business, managing a modest fortune.

According to Lin Lan’s description, Lin’s father and mother obtained a piece of uniquely formed stone abroad, attracting many buyers interested in purchasing.

Yet, Lin’s father and mother chose not to sell.

This action seemed to have offended someone, and suddenly one day, both fell sick, and without their management, the business plummeted. Even that luxury jade stone disappeared unknowingly.

Their sickness couldn’t be healed by hospitals, pouring money was like water down the drain.

Lin Jing continued reading, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

At this point, spiritual Qi had visibly revived, causing frequent supernatural occurrences like people witnessing a Heavenly Dragon’s tribulation or Sword Flight, and although experts always explained these scientifically, it didn’t stop ordinary people from speculating that the world was different.

Like a lifeguard’s rope, it inspired Lin Lan’s journey to seek immortality. Surprisingly, she found a cultivator at Lu Mountain who helped Lin’s father and mother recover their health.

[Thanks to Lu Mountain Hermit. The elder helped me because of my special constitution. I’ve acknowledged her as my mentor and begun cultivation. My parents’ illness has almost healed. The master said it was poison but now resolved, and I’ve learned many healing techniques. Rest assured, I will take care of them...]

The messages mostly stopped here. Lin Jing thought for a moment and sent a "Thank you."

......

Meanwhile, on Lu Mountain, Lin Lan saw the QQ message and almost threw her phone away.

"Master, there’s a ghost!"
