This approach is actually quite good. In a sense, it leaves a way out for the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain.
If Lin Yang didn't have a bigger plan in mind, he would have already chosen a world to conquer, just like Zhang Lu.
"Then I wish you all the best. By the way, after returning to the main world, the Zhang family will send a fourth-tier Immortal cultivator to Jiangdong to spread the Dao. I'll leave it to you, Feipeng, to take care of him. You'll only need to contribute a little money." Zhang Lu said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang nodded gratefully. A fourth-tier Human Immortal, and a Taoist from the Zhang family at that—that's what you call a brand guarantee; their strength is undoubtedly unquestionable. A cultivator of this caliber would be welcomed anywhere.
Therefore, the so-called "letting Lin Yang take care of him" actually means that this fourth-level human immortal cultivator was handed over to Lin Yang as his subordinate in a short period of time.
This gift is undeniably generous. On one hand, it can leverage the prestige of the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain to deter those petty villains. On the other hand, a fourth-tier Human Immortal cultivator is a great asset in itself. If used well, it can achieve many unexpected results.
For example, it can be used for scientific research, to study various restrictions and spells that Lin Yang needs, or even to be a teacher and train qualified Taoist priests and sorcerers.
It should be understood that every immortal cultivator in the Daoist path, when their brain is operating at full capacity, is comparable to a quantum computer.
Once combined with Lin Yang's memories, and the first industrial revolution in the fantasy world is successfully initiated, the entire Wu Kingdom will truly take off! Even the entire Han Dynasty will take off directly! At that time, the wishes of the Black Lotus Prince and the original owner will naturally be fulfilled.
As for the issue of secrecy, a contract can be signed—a 100-year confidentiality agreement. A hundred years from now, a second industrial revolution might even occur, like a fantasy version of it. At that point, even if there are leaks, it won't matter.
"Then thank you very much, Master. Come on, let's drink this cup!" Lin Yang said happily, imagining the scene of the Industrial Revolution in a fantasy world.
"Dry……"

Chapter One: Genius and Primitive Land
Lujiang County, a residence of the Lu family.
Three days had passed since the end of the last cycle. Lin Yang had also returned to the main world from the cave.
In a certain room, Su Qing'er, dressed in an ordinary white dress with her hair tied in a ponytail, was pacing back and forth anxiously, holding a communication jade talisman in her hand.
Ever since receiving news of Lin Yang's impending return three days ago, I've been in this state of mind. I feel a mix of worry and anxiety.
Especially when Lin Yang first disappeared a while ago, and there was no news of him, I was all alone and almost overwhelmed with worry. But thankfully, everything is fine now, and Lin Yang will be back soon.
"Young master, come back, young master, come back..." she chanted as she paced back and forth, swaying her ponytail, looking incredibly cute.
With a creak, the door opened, and Lin Yang entered. He was wearing a white cloak over a dark black robe, which, while not breathtakingly handsome, made him at least presentable.
"Qing'er, I'm back."
"Young Master, you're finally back. Waaaaah..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yang hugged her tightly, and she buried her face in his shoulder.
Closing his eyes, doing nothing and saying nothing, he simply held Su Qing'er quietly. At that moment, Lin Yang felt an unprecedented sense of ease. His heart was also at peace.
Whether he was joking and scheming in the Tang Dynasty world, or fraught with danger and hardship in the grotto-heaven, none of that mattered at this moment. Feeling the warmth in his arms, Lin Yang just wanted to bury his head in his chest like an ostrich…
After a long while, the two finally finished expressing their longing for each other and then got down to business.
"Qing'er, how strong are you now?" Lin Yang asked with concern.
"Yes, last time I experienced a large world. In that world, there were Taoist magic, immortals, demonic beasts, and many magical treasures. Later I..."
"In general, my current strength is at the late stage of Yang Shen, not far from perfection. In my possession, I have a damaged fifth-grade magic weapon, a fifth-grade magic weapon you gave me, a third-grade magic weapon I crafted myself, and..."
As he listened, Lin Yang nodded. Indeed, compared to her previous life, Su Qing'er in this life was far better in both strength and luck.
With a gentle sweep of his divine eye, Lin Yang saw streaks of azure divine light. In just a few months, Su Qing'er's fortune had already reached the fourth rank!
This is truly the protagonist of our time! His extraordinary advantages and destiny are not just empty words! Who knows, in the future, Lin Yang might even be living off a woman!
"By the way, Qing'er, have you grasped your own Dao? That is, what kind of path will you take in your future? Can you understand your true nature and truly put it into practice?" Lin Yang asked with some concern.
This is very important; it directly relates to whether or not he will have a great opportunity! Therefore, Lin Yang is quite concerned about it.
In the original owner's memories, Su Qing'er did obtain this opportunity. However, just in case, it's best to ask.
"Yes, not only that, I also created a set of techniques based on this. However, it is still very rudimentary, with only a concept and an outline. In terms of specifics, it is only an idea. It is actually quite difficult to put into practice," Su Qing'er said seriously.
Although I don't know what Lin Yang's intentions are, he can just say it directly. He won't do anything to harm me!
"It's like this, it involves an opportunity. When breaking through from the third to the fourth tier, if you have exceptional talent, you will automatically receive this opportunity. That is, at the moment of breakthrough, you will travel to the Primal Land!" Lin Yang said earnestly.
As he spoke, there was a hint of emotion and a sense of vicissitude in his voice! In the original owner's memories, when he was a great Confucian scholar who had progressed from the third to the fourth level of the Literary Dao, he had come to understand his own Dao and had also created his own unique cultivation technique!
As a result, they passed the test of the Primal Land and entered that place. Finally, there, by chance, they harvested the Seed of the Universe!
Later, after the Seed of the Universe matured, it used its power to successfully reverse time and space, returning from the future to the present. It also summoned someone with the same name from another universe.
In other words, everything he has achieved so far, including his identity as Lin Yang, the memories in his head, and his journey from the 21st century to this world, is inseparable from that seed!
Therefore, it's normal to feel a sense of sadness and melancholy upon first encountering this situation. I wonder if I'll ever find this seed again in this lifetime. Thinking about this, I suddenly feel a sense of urgency!
"Young Master, what is the Primal Land? I've only heard of the Primal Continent. It's said that after the main world was destroyed, only one continent remained, which is the Primal Continent we know today. It's shrouded in countless chaotic primordial energies and innate spiritual energy, and there are countless opportunities and dangers to be found there!"
"Young Master, do you intend to go up there to search for treasure? Impossible. With your small stature, unless you have a primordial spiritual treasure in your hand, it would only take you a few minutes to get there," Su Qing'er said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yang laughed. There was nothing wrong with his head; the Primordial Continent was truly littered with corpses and fraught with danger due to the great war between the myriad races of that time!
Many seventh-order Dao Lords, and even eighth-order Dao Ancestors, lie dead on the Primordial Continent. How could a mere third-order little guy like Lin Yang possibly enter such a place?
"Ahem, the Primordial Continent is a boundless continent, and also the place where all the heavens and myriad worlds will merge in the future! The Primordial Land is a small world left behind by the creator god of that time."
"This small world is full of opportunities. You can find quite a few even eighth-order innate spiritual treasures. There are even legendary ninth-order innate supreme treasures."
