Chapter 260: Retirement Life in Jiangcheng

After Tongtianmen tacitly acknowledged Liu Qing's existence, Jiang Cheng also successfully passed the examination for the position of talisman history compilation and officially became an idle elder of the immortal sect.

Although Jiang Cheng became an elder, the elder of Tongtianmen is just a position, which does not affect the sect and will not allocate housing, so Jiang Cheng still lives in Linbei Peak.

He can enjoy the entire mountain with Liu Qing when Yunshu is away from home.

Even if Yunshu is there, it doesn't matter. The mountain is big enough, so big that you can't hear each other's voice even if you make a lot of noise.

"Liu Qing, your previous visa is about to expire, we have to apply for a new visa." Jiang Cheng said.

According to Yun Zaiyuan's information, it is true that the Tongtianmen high-level acquiesced to Liu Qing, but Liu Qing still has to follow the usual procedures.

So she is still staying in Tongtianmen with a visa, but Tongtianmen didn't know she was in Tongtianmen before, but now they know but don't care.

To be precise, it's not that they don't care, but it's hard to manage and it's easy to get into trouble. It's better to maintain the status quo and let Jiang Cheng sign a guarantee agreement.

"Yeah." Liu Qing nodded.

She and Jiang Cheng had to apply for a new visa every once in a while, and they were used to it.

Usually, Jiang Cheng would leave quickly after she agreed, but not this time.

Jiang Cheng was very slow, first packing everywhere, then packing again, and was reluctant to go.

But Liu Qing was not in a hurry, she waited quietly for Jiang Cheng to get ready.

"Actually, uh, I think it's too troublesome to apply for a visa every ten years. Tongtianmen actually has a top-level visa that can be renewed up to five hundred years. Why don't we apply for that?"

Liu Qing nodded and had no objection.

It's good not to have to renew the visa frequently, she agreed.

But Jiang Cheng said, "You may need to sign an agreement."

"Okay."

"It's a very important agreement."

"Yeah."

"It's an agreement involving marriage."

Liu Qing thought for a while and said, "Okay."

Jiang Cheng said seriously, "I'm not kidding. The Taoist couple visa requires you to register your marriage in the Internal Affairs Hall first. If you agree, it means that we will be Taoist couples in the future, which means husband and wife in the secular society. We need to follow some strange rules, such as helping each other and never leaving each other..."

After listening, Liu felt that the "strange rules" Jiang Cheng mentioned were not difficult at all.

Because haven't they done it a long time ago?

Now it's just a change of name, to sign an agreement that has already done everything.

But she saw that Jiang Cheng seemed quite nervous.

He repeatedly asked her to think carefully.

Liu Qing felt that there was nothing to think about. If Jiang Cheng said it was okay, it was fine. They had always been like this before.

She was very satisfied.

"Let's go."

"Have you really thought about it? What I mean is that you can't regret it. It's a lifelong thing." Jiang Cheng emphasized again.

"Well, for a lifetime. No regrets."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Then I can finally hold your hand openly now."

Liu Qing expressed doubts about this, and she said, "Obviously, it has always been possible."

The process of registering for marriage and applying for a new visa went quite smoothly. Afterwards, Jiang Cheng even bought good wine and food and invited Yue Ling'er and Shen Menghan to celebrate together.

Yue Ling'er and Shen Menghan were not surprised by this.

It is better to say that Jiang Cheng has been guarding the tender tofu and has not eaten it until now. He is capable and can bear it.

At the banquet, Yue Ling'er has even begun to prepare to make a sign, asking Jiang Cheng to turn the card to go to bed.

As a result, Jiang Cheng ordered to stop on the grounds of endangering the atmosphere.

Although it is true that there is no need to turn the card in the end, it is still used for going to bed.

This aspect cannot be described in detail.

But the final result is that Jiang Cheng's dream of a comfortable retirement is completely shattered, forcing him to cheer up again and launch an impact on a higher level of cultivation.

Jiang Cheng originally did not care about cultivation, because in the world of immortal cultivation in peacetime, in addition to fighting and killing, there are also human relationships.

But cultivation is something that you only regret when the time comes.

What's more terrifying is that Tongtianmen is not the only one. Taixumen also has Liang Lu and Lin Yao.

If Jiang Cheng's cultivation is not improved, he will not be able to suppress the trend of "deceiving the emperor and deceiving the superiors" in Dayan Sect.

The good news is that Taixumen has a rule of not breaking one's virginity.

Before Liang Lu and Lin Yao become Taixu Saints, Jiang Cheng can still develop secretly for a while.

Although the landlord is rich, there is often no surplus food at home.

In particular, Jiang Cheng often has to help Liang Lu draw talismans for the competition for the Saint's Association with dark circles under his eyes.

Lin Yao is a little easier, because she has the blessing of talent and does not need external objects such as talismans.

But Lin Yao's ease of trouble is only relative. With Liang Lu's reminder, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that he and Lin Yao had an appointment as the sect master.

Jiang Cheng finally understood that Lin Yao was not easy to do, she was just holding back a big move.

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Jiang Cheng immediately left Tongtian Gate temporarily, and after recuperating for a while, he successfully arrived at Taixu Gate.

The reason why Jiang Cheng went to Taixu Gate alone was simple. He hoped to support Liang Lu so that Lin Yao would not become the leader of Taixu Gate so quickly.

At least he had to wait until he could reach Mahayana before letting Lin Yao become the leader of Taixu Gate, right?

Otherwise, if Lin Yao and Liu Qing quarreled, and his cultivation was not enough to stop them, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?

The leader of Taixu Gate was no joke.

The gold content was one or two levels higher than Yun Zaiyuan's Zhushi Mountain Master.

If Lin Yao really became the leader of Taixu Gate, Jiang Cheng felt that the order of the five major immortal gates would be ruined by her.

At first, Jiang Cheng's policy of using Liang Lu to check and balance Lin Yao was very effective.

In the competition for the first position of the Saint, Liang Lu relied on Jiang Cheng's talisman and gradually gained the upper hand in the struggle with Lin Yao.

During this period, Liang Lu and Lin Yao fought to the death in the competition and trial during the day, with a deep hatred and an endless posture. At night, when they went to Jiang Cheng's residence for dinner, there was suddenly no such big conflict.

They even had a tacit understanding with each other, as if they had discussed it beforehand. When the time came, one of them would leave on time, leaving the other to accompany.

Mainly to accompany Jiang Cheng to draw talismans.

Lin Yao would even give opinions on the new talismans drawn by Jiang Cheng.

Even though she knew that the talisman was drawn for Liang Lu.

Of course, there were also behaviors of begging Jiang Cheng to draw a smaller power.

And this trick is really useful.

It's not that Jiang Cheng didn't ask Lin Yao to practice slower, compete for the Saint slower, and then choose the Sect Master.

But Lin Yao didn't listen.

She was determined to become a saint as soon as possible.

Because once she became a saint, no one would care about her, and she would not need to abide by the rules of Taixu Sect, such as "keeping one's body as pure as jade". In this way, she would first have the qualifications to compete for the position of the sect leader, and secondly, she would be able to quickly participate in the "succession" competition.

She knew that Jiang Cheng and Liu Qing registered their marriage at Tongtian Sect.

But the rules of Tongtian Sect did not apply to the Taixu Sect.

She just had to be faster than Liang Lu.

Become a saint and occupy the marriage quota of Taixu Sect!

Then think about the sect leader.

The current sect leader of Taixu Sect is in his heyday, and Lin Yao cannot see the hope of becoming the sect leader for at least one or two thousand years.

But she also figured it out. Becoming a saint first and occupying the marriage quota of Taixu Sect, with a legal basis, is much more important than becoming the sect leader quickly.

The sect leader can take his time, but there is only one quota.

The final result is quite dramatic.

With the help of Jiang Cheng, Liang Lu defeated Lin Yao and won the first seat of the Saint, but her character was relatively traditional and conservative, and she did not think about the level of reason.

Therefore, she missed the opportunity and was surpassed by Lin Yao. After Lin Yao won the second seat of the Saint, she quickly grinded Jiang Cheng to occupy the legal reason.

Despite this, the relationship on the Taixu Gate side has not changed much.

It is still the same as it should be.

The only difference is that after Jiang Cheng left Tongtian Gate, the dark circles that had finally disappeared are now back.

It seems that Taixu Gate is not a good place to go.

Then Jiang Cheng found a reason and returned to Tongtian Gate.

The competition on the Tongtian Gate side is much smaller than that on the Taixu Gate.

At least there will be no comparison on dark circles, which makes Jiang Cheng feel miserable. He can only break the pill and swallow it.

It is worth mentioning that two hundred years after Jiang Cheng and Liu Qing got married, Liu Qing’s friends heard the news and came to Tongtian Gate to visit her.

Of course, since Liu Qing's friends were not bad either, and there were quite a few of them, three or four.

So Jiang Cheng didn't dare to bring them in secretly, and could only consult Yun Zaiyuan first, which made Yun Zaiyuan feel a headache for several days.

However, seeing that Jiang Cheng was Yun Shu's apprentice and helped him raise his daughter for free, Yun Zaiyuan agreed to help and let Liu Qing's friends enter Tongtianmen to play under the perspective of "exchange and learning".

Liu Qing's friends were not very optimistic about Jiang Cheng at first.

They thought that Liu Qing must have been deceived by despicable humans. Even if Liu Qing explained to them many times in the letter, they didn't believe it. They just had to see it with their own eyes.

But after a period of getting along, they finally felt relieved to continue to let Liu Qing be taken care of by Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng has a set of skills to take care of people. Seeing that he was exhausted and panting every day, and the dark circles under his eyes never disappeared, Liu Qing's friends gradually changed their views on Jiang Cheng from prejudice to understanding and sympathy.

Jiang Cheng is indeed not easy.

He is a rare human cultivator who is both responsible for the outside and the inside.

After the monster friends left, they enthusiastically invited Jiang Cheng to go to Tianshan to play.

It happened that Liu Qing hadn't been home for a long time, so Jiang Cheng planned to take her home for a walk.

However, Tianshan is not like Tongtianmen, and the safety factor is relatively low. Even with Liu Qing's protection, Jiang Cheng can't go there casually.

Later, Jiang Cheng developed for a while, prepared some gifts and magic weapons for self-defense, and took some time to visit relatives with Liu Qing in Tianshan.

Liu Qing has many clansmen in Tianshan, and most of the elders of the monster clan do not agree with the marriage of Liu Qing and Jiang Cheng.

This is not difficult to understand. Liu Qing is a well-known Mahayana cultivator of the monster clan. Isn't it a major loss to the strength of the monster clan to marry to the human clan and let Jiang Cheng take care of her husband and children?

No one can accept this result.

But fortunately, Jiang Cheng's attitude is sincere enough, he brings enough gifts, and he is good at communicating with monsters. After a round of arrangements, the voice of opposition is much smaller.

Jiang Cheng's statement is also very simple. He first revealed the strength of Tongtianmen and told the monster clan that there are five such human forces. Then, in the silence of the monsters, he assured them that he would try to maintain the balance among the tribes and safeguard the hard-won peace even for Liu Qing.

He also promised on behalf of Dayan Sect to invest in Tianshan, build infrastructure, and improve the living environment of Tianshan.

When they were about to leave, some monster tribe leaders pulled the beautiful tribe members specially selected by the tribe and asked Jiang Cheng if he needed a maid to warm his waist?

Jiang Cheng didn't dare to say yes.

He had Liu Qing alone, which was enough.

With the improvement of the cultivation of the main members of the Great Yan Sect, such as Jiang Cheng, Lin Yao, Yue Ling'er, Liang Lu, and Shen Menghan, the territory of the Great Yan Sect has also expanded.

The expansion of the territory of the Great Yan Sect means that the territory of the traditional demon sect is constantly shrinking.

As one grows, the other shrinks, and the contradiction between the righteous and the demon sects becomes increasingly fierce, which brings many unstable factors to the generally peaceful world of immortal cultivation.

In order to further weaken the power of the traditional demon sect, Jiang Cheng tried to open the quota of the Great Yan Sect disciples to the disciples of the traditional demon sect.

After all, the Great Yan Sect claims to be the demon sect.

Joining the Great Yan Sect is to jump from one demon sect to another.

This is much less psychological pressure for many demon sect disciples.

After all, joining the righteous sect is considered betrayal and surrender, but joining the Great Yan Sect is purely because of "working hard" and jumping to a promising new sect.

With the implementation of this policy, along with the crackdown of the righteous sect on the demon sect, the strength of the Great Yan Sect has grown rapidly, and many former demon sect people have joined the Great Yan Sect to seek better development.

The Great Yan Sect does not want all of these demon sects.

First of all, it does not want the extreme faction or the ambiguous faction, but only the more practical faction.

Implement institutional reforms within the sect and improve the system of interest and responsibility distribution within the sect.

More importantly, it is necessary to focus on the ideological work of the demon sect disciples, requiring them to become the new demon sect of the times, and through hard work and high-paying jobs and a broad future development prospect, it has done what the Demon Sect could not do before - poaching a large number of people from the immortal sect.

The previous demon sects were suppressed by the immortal sects.

But the Great Yan Sect is different. Not only is it not afraid of suppression, but it also poaches the immortal sects, making the immortal sect people abandon the light and join the dark.

This style immediately opened up a gap with the previous demon sect.

The fake demon sects hide and destroy everywhere.

The real demon sect poaches the immortal sects openly.

As the power of the Great Yan Sect continues to grow, there is a subtle trend of unifying the demon sect, which has led to the high-level officials of various immortal sects having to pay attention to the Great Yan Sect.

After all, the positions of the five major immortal sects are well done, and no one wants a sixth person to emerge out of thin air and compete with them for resources.

Yun Zaiyuan found Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng, didn't you tell us that you would retire after you got the position of elder? The Great Yan Sect under your command is now almost unifying the magic path. Is this how you retire?"

Jiang Cheng said: "I also want to rest, but the senior also knows the situation of my family. I have to make money to support my family, right? You see that the Great Yan Sect is developing so well, don't you consider investing? You will definitely not lose money."

Yun Zaiyuan: "You said that Tongtianmen people don't cheat Tongtianmen people."

Jiang Cheng: "Okay, okay."

...

Many years later, Ao Lian has become a slender girl. She has not forgotten Jiang Cheng, but she will always remember the time when she came to Jiang Cheng to play.

"Sister Lianlian, why do you have two stones on your head?"

The little girl grabbed the dragon horn on Ao Lian's forehead with one hand and pulled her hair with the other hand, but her big eyes were full of innocence and curiosity.

Ao Lian forced a smile on the surface, but his heart was full of sadness of being drafted.

Ah! Who invented the child! So annoying!
