Then, he looked at Cai Yan and Shi A, and after a slight attempt to sense them, he couldn't detect anything. However, the feeling he got from them was no different from that of those grandmasters.
"Young masters and ladies, may I ask what brings you down to the mortal realm this time? I have now established a small business, and the things I can do are far more numerous than they were a few years ago," Shi Long said excitedly.
At this point, Shi Long immediately assumed the role of a servant. After all, there was nothing shameful about being a servant to an immortal. So many people wanted to be one, but none could.
Furthermore, given the generosity of Lin Yang and his companions, they would certainly offer ample benefits. After all, they are immortals.
Seeing this, Lin Yang said happily, "Haha, Old Shi, don't worry. Even if he is just an outer disciple, as long as he makes a contribution, our Guangcheng Immortal Sect will not hesitate to reward him."
"Given the current state of this world, although it's impossible to build a celestial paradise in the short term, there's still a good chance of creating a blessed land. When that time comes, living within that blessed land, while I can't guarantee immortality, a lifespan of a thousand years is certainly achievable," Lin Yang said confidently.
Moreover, Lin Yang was even more satisfied with Shi Long's attitude at this moment. Regardless of the reason why he made this choice, Lin Yang decided to give Shi Long more benefits.
"Shi Long, I ask you, even if a thousand calamities befall you, have you ever changed your will? Even if axes and halberds are brought upon you, have you ever wavered in your heart?" Suddenly, Lin Yang shouted.
This sound employed some special techniques. It could be described as insightful, directly exploring a person's mind. It helped Shi Long to carefully examine the thoughts deep within his own heart.
Upon hearing this, Shi Long was taken aback. Then, he subconsciously recalled his experiences over the years.
My childhood was filled with loneliness and hardship, and I often went hungry. It was because of this that I developed a desire to seek the truth and to make something of myself!
Striving and forging ahead, like pigs and dogs, for even the slightest chance of advancement or a possible benefit, is the frantic struggle of youth. It is precisely this youthful effort that lays the foundation for later progress.
Then came the middle age, a time of great success and widespread praise. At that time, I was still diligently seeking the Dao, but unfortunately, for over ten years I made no progress and remained estranged from it!
I was surrounded by a treasure trove, yet made no progress whatsoever. Back then, I hesitated, wavered, doubted, felt angry, and complained. But ultimately, my desire to seek the truth never wavered!
Later, he met several young masters, and from then on, his luck completely changed. By following the instructions left by these young masters, he unexpectedly amassed a large fortune.
Everyone praised him, powerful families bowed their heads, and influential clans looked on with disdain. Even today, the whole world is watching his every move!
Have I ever wavered?
Am I still able to hold firm to my beliefs?
Will the idea of seeking the Tao change?
No!
no way!
No matter how the world changes, I, Shilong, am still a Taoist! Seeking the Tao, seeking the Tao, today the Great Tao is right before my eyes, how can I not seize it?
Having thought this through, Shi Long's eyes instantly hardened. His mind became even clearer. At the same time, an even more powerful aura emanated from him!
Grandmaster level achieved!
"My ambition remains unchanged, and my will to seek the Dao is unwavering!" Shi Long said firmly.
Seeing this, Lin Yang was quite satisfied. Not bad, the stone dragon was already quite good. Once this world was unified, he would definitely obtain the corresponding authority, and then he could bring it back to the main world. At that time, a loyal fourth-tier Celestial Warrior would be his.
"Alright, would you be willing to become an outer disciple of my Guangcheng Immortal Sect, and then become an inner disciple after the True Dragon Emperor unifies the world?" Lin Yang continued.
Upon hearing this, Shi Long nodded without hesitation.
"good!"
Lin Yang was even more satisfied with this. Zhang Lu, standing to the side, was also very pleased. In his view, Shi Long at this moment was a promising candidate for cultivation.
However, we don't know about their aptitude. But their temperament alone is quite good. This is why Taoist cultivators often seek out those who have lost their families or been dismissed from their posts and exiled to cultivate themselves.
"Hey, why is Master Shi only an outer disciple?" Kou Zhong suddenly shouted. In his opinion, Lin Yang and the others were going too far.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but laugh. Then, he glanced at the twin dragons. Their destiny was fourth-tier, and their luck was pale blue.
This means that in this world, death is practically impossible. If used sparingly, they are two very useful pawns.
Putting everything else aside, the two main characters are currently enjoying great fortune, so if they were to deal with the Buddhist sect, they would definitely be invincible.
As for the encounters in the original Twin Dragons story, weren't they just brainwashing? Shi Feixuan could do it, so why can't Lin Yang? We'll see who has the better verbal skills then!
Moreover, once the Buddhist sect has dealt with the situation, the twin dragons' fortune will be nearly exhausted. At that point, manipulating them will be a simple matter of a thought.
"Haha, don't underestimate this outer disciple. In my Guangcheng Immortal Sect, even an outer disciple receives an astonishing amount of offerings every year," Lin Yang said confidently. Then, he took out a storage ring.
"Look what this is?" Lin Yang asked Kou Zhong directly.
"This, this is just a ring, isn't it?" Kou Zhong said nonchalantly. For some reason, he regretted it as soon as he said it. Looking at Lin Yang's smile, he felt like he had done something stupid.
"This item is called a storage ring. It contains many good things, such as spirit rice and spirit dew, which are the food of people in the upper realm, or in blessed lands. Long-term use can improve one's aptitude and enhance one's physical constitution."
As he spoke, in front of everyone, he took out a bottle of spirit dew weighing one jin from his ring.
"Want to try some?" he said, tossing it to Kou Zhong.
Looking at the ordinary-looking bottle in his hand, Kou Zhonggang curiously uncorked it. A refreshing fragrance then wafted out.
Just from smelling it, Kou Zhong felt his body warm up considerably. Then, he picked up the bottle and drank from it.
Glug glug
In the blink of an eye, Kou Zhong had drunk nearly half of the bottle of spiritual dew. Then, he simply tossed it to Xu Ziling.
"By the way, Young Master Lin, Ziling and I finished this bottle of spirit dew. You can't blame it on Master Shi, can you?" Kou Zhong said with a smile. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and began to refine the spiritual energy in the spirit dew.
"Don't worry, it's just a small bottle of spirit dew. It's very cheap in the Upper Realm, not valuable at all," Lin Yang said casually.
Soon after, Xu Ziling also closed his eyes to refine spiritual energy. Seeing this, Lin Yang's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He then said, "Heaven and earth endure. The reason why heaven and earth can endure is that they do not live for themselves; therefore, they can live long. Thus, the sage puts himself last and yet comes first; he puts himself outside and yet survives. Is it not because he is selfless? Therefore, he can achieve his own ends..."
