Chapter 42: Capable but Unable to Show It!

"Overseas islands?"

"Are you planning to relocate there?"

"Can the Immortal Sect agree?"

Su Ping pretended to be surprised as he looked at the middle-aged cultivator.

"Hahaha, Su Junior Brother, don't worry too much, we still have a sense of propriety."

Looking at Su Ping's expected reaction, the middle-aged cultivator grinned and took a sip of tea before slowly saying,

"The ones migrating to the overseas islands this time will only be some ordinary people from my Yun family and the old cultivators who have resigned from the Immortal Sect."

"Those who have been recorded in the Immortal Sect's merit and demerit register and are still in service will continue to serve the Immortal Sect in this critical time, to repay the Immortal Sect's kindness."

Hearing this, Su Ping understood that the Yun family was making preparations on both fronts.

But this decision was quite decisive, directly moving most of their assets to the overseas islands.

It is said that the concentration of spiritual energy there is even thinner than in the mortal world!

In that case, even if the Yun family does nothing, they will still suffer heavy losses!

I'm afraid they will have to sell off the spiritual plants that they have collected for so many years but can't sustain!

It can be considered as using up most of their family fortune in exchange for a future for the family to thrive and multiply.

"So, Senior Brother, did you find me for this?"

"Of course, I value your abilities, Junior Brother."

The middle-aged cultivator stared at Su Ping, not saying anything flattering.

As a cultivation family around the Golden Sparrow City, they knew better than the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect what this Inspector has done.

They also knew that this Inspector had talent in body cultivation and had entered the sect in a short period of time!

Considering the age of this Inspector... he is still very valuable to cultivate and develop.

In addition, Su Ping is an Inspector in the mortal world who is not valued. As long as a few connections are used, it is easy to get the Immortal Sect to agree to his retirement from this position.

Anyway, there are not few vacancies for Inspectors in so many cities, and it wouldn't make much difference if one is missing.

After discussing in a meeting, the Yun family sincerely wanted to recruit Su Ping to join them.

"Junior Brother Su, the Yun family is currently secretly recruiting external cultivators as well as cultivators like you who are stationed in the mortal world."

"If Junior Brother Su is willing to go to the overseas islands together, the Yun family is willing to marry the second daughter of the second branch to Junior Brother as his wife, and promise that the head of the second branch in the future will be taken up by Junior Brother's wife."

"In addition, the Yun family still has some spiritual stones in reserve, so Junior Brother doesn't need to worry about a lack of spiritual energy and stagnation in cultivation on the overseas islands."

"Furthermore, if the Immortal Sect safely passes through this calamity and Junior Brother escorts the clan members back, the Yun family will have even greater rewards!"

The middle-aged cultivator stated the terms to Su Ping.

If the target were an ordinary Inspector, it would be considered very generous.

Wealth, status, and future advancement, everything is arranged.

Moreover, Su Ping is of lowly birth and has no relatives, so even if the Yun family offers more benefits, it would still be considered a waste in the eyes of the family. They wouldn't have to worry about any future development variables.

The middle-aged cultivator felt that this was a win-win situation, and there was no reason for the other party to refuse!

Su Ping listened and pretended to ponder.

But he had already made up his mind long ago.

If there were no fishing spot in the Lingyue Lake, and he didn't have the Pot in the World, it would be fine to cling to the Yun family's thigh and live a comfortable life.

But now, he couldn't do that. He couldn't bear to give up the fishing spot in the Lingyue Lake.

He also wouldn't agree to marry into the Yun family.

He had too many secrets, and it was still manageable to hide them from mortal servants.

But when facing a direct descendant from a cultivation family, even if the other party was just an external cultivator, the difficulty of concealing his secrets would increase dramatically!

Not to mention, after going to the islands in the overseas archipelago, how could he find an excuse to use the Pot in the World or even the Return to City Talisman in front of hundreds or even thousands of pairs of eyes?

"Thank you, senior, for your kind offer."

"I still want to stay in Jinque City and protect this peaceful place."

Su Ping's face showed a hint of determination, then he said, "Senior, you didn't just invite me here to recruit me, right? Although I have no intention of following, I still understand the difficulties faced by the Yun family."

"If there is anything the Yun family needs help with, I will make arrangements on my end."

The middle-aged cultivator fell silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "What a pity."

Afterwards, both sides had tea together to settle the matter and began discussing the auction that the Yun family was planning to hold.

The Yun family planned to evacuate to the overseas islands and sell off many spiritual creatures that couldn't be taken or couldn't be sustained.

In addition to spiritual creatures, any surplus magical tools, talismans, miscellaneous items, and miscellaneous studies that could be exchanged for spirit stones would also be dealt with to prepare for future needs.

Since the recruitment was unsuccessful, Su Ping became a tradable object and received a wooden token and specific location and time to participate in the auction.

Su Ping was not surprised by this.

The Yun family didn't invite him to conspire against the sect and then reject him.

It wasn't to the point of retaliating just because he refused their recruitment.

From the current situation, Su Ping believed that other cultivation families would also make similar arrangements to relocate a part of their family to the islands.

As long as the main force of the family was still serving the sect and not colluding with external enemies.

At this critical moment, the higher-ups of the sect at least tacitly approved.

"However, even though there are countless reasons for this tacit approval, it is still a sign of weakness."

"But the principle of being able to do but not show it is stated in the Qi Refining General Outline."

"It really makes it difficult to discern what tricks the higher-ups of the sect are playing."

"I just hope that you can slow down a bit and let me fish for a few more years, grow to the same level as you, and then..."

On the way back, Su Ping took out the wooden token given by the Yun family.

With this token, he could go to Jiuye Market in a week's time and enter the auction in the middle of the night.

At that time, not only would the Yun family have goods for sale, but there would also be cultivators from various places coming to trade.

Su Ping still hoped to trade for some useful items through this auction.

Especially in the fields of alchemy, artifact forging, talismans, and formation techniques in cultivation.

Su Ping planned to get a general understanding of all of them first.

Then, he didn't plan to master all of them, but would choose the one with the most talent to delve into.

As for the other fields... Su Ping already had a bold idea quietly sprouting in his mind.

Considering that he would need a large amount of spirit stones to go to the Yun family's market for the trading event, Su Ping had his swarm of mice search for targets for him after returning to the Lin Yue Manor.

At the same time, he obtained the reports from various towns during this period from the Ji family.

Then Su Ping once again experienced the benefits of being in a higher position.

With just a few words of instruction, hundreds of warriors were dispatched to confirm whether the beasts causing trouble in various places were just ordinary wild beasts.

Three days later, Su Ping went to a deep mountain and caught a wild bear that often came down from the mountain to steal chickens, ducks, and geese from the villagers.

This was the third fierce beast Su Ping had caught based on the intelligence analysis in the past few days.

Although the first two had some intelligence that aroused suspicion among the warriors, they were still ordinary beasts without spirituality.

Su Ping killed it on the spot to rid the people of harm.

Fortunately, luck was on his side. This third fierce beast clearly had some intelligence.

Su Ping summoned his spirit beast to guard the surroundings to prevent anyone from disturbing him, then took out some waste pills and purifying spirit medicine.

After forcefully feeding them to the wild bear, it was transformed into a monster. Su Ping deliberately fought with it, causing the forest to darken and the sound of roaring to shake the warriors and villagers outside the forest.

Only then did he swing his sword and kill the wild bear, which actually only displayed about thirty percent of its combat power. He then skinned it, removed its tendons, bones, and meat...
