Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 585 - 40: Remnants of the Old Era

"Master said that it’s happening in our country soon too, and it won’t be able to be kept secret." Lin Lan was somewhat looking forward to the moment when cultivation would be for everyone.

By then, she could soar through the skies without having to hide!

Why can’t cultivators show their power in public? She thought the rules set by the Dao Alliance were a bit unreasonable.

"The Red Light Incident from some time ago had too much of an impact. Even if locals can’t directly access foreign information, something like this can’t be covered up."

Lin Jing nodded. The so-called Red Light Incident was the sacrificial ritual the elderly man in traditional Chinese clothing set up in various countries.

When activated, a blood-red light shot to the sky. Even though Lin Jing quickly extinguished it, the commotion at the time caused immense shock.

People in the array at that time must have been scared out of their wits.

Even if experts try to use science to explain this kind of strange event, the people from various countries wouldn’t believe a word of it.

The act of the elderly man in traditional clothes opened the door for ordinary people to the cultivation world, allowing more and more ordinary people to firmly believe the world had changed.

"What’s there to hide." Lin Jing said, "Are they worried that too many people with cultivation aptitude will be hard to manage when the time comes?"

"Tell Hu Yousong that times have changed. If they stay conservative, the average strength of foreign cultivators will crush us here."

"It’s not that exaggerated. Isn’t your average strength raising the bar for us?" Lin Lan thought for a moment and seriously analyzed.

"Is my realm about to be averaged out too now?" Lin Jing’s mouth twitched for the first time in a long while... Familiar terms indeed.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. By the way, although mom and dad want Uncle Fang to come back quickly, the reality might not be that easy. Since the full picture of ’Silver Hair Disease’ isn’t clear, the Dao Alliance here certainly won’t allow those with Silver Hair Disease to easily enter the country. There will likely be rigorous screening, isolation, and inspection."

Lin Jing nodded: "No problem, in that case, have them give me Uncle Fang’s address. I’ll go there myself to avoid missing the best treatment window."

......

In the outbreak area of Silver Hair Disease, the patients were all desperate to leave, worried that staying too long might further worsen their condition.

Although local medical institutions hadn’t detected any side effects from Silver Hair Disease, no one dared to take chances during these times.

However, it’s a pity, no place was willing to accept these people.

Currently, few dared to come to this city, and Lin Jing was among them. Because he knew "the real abilities" of Lin Jing, Dao Alliance leader Hu Yousong was seen as just a novice, so Lin Jing’s parents felt assured of his safety.

Given their own capability, it made no sense not to help those who once supported them.

Had it not been for concerns that "the medicine wasn’t right for the symptoms," and no 100% guarantee, they even believed that the miraculous health pills Lin Jing gave them could treat any disease on Earth.

"Here we are."

Lin Jing didn’t use a legal route to come to this country and city; there wasn’t enough time for that.

"This is the place, right?"

Lin Jing swept his divine sense, arriving in front of a closed villa—where Uncle Fang’s family of three lived. Upon arrival, Lin Jing furrowed his brows slightly.

Through his previous divine sense, he had observed many patients with Silver Hair Disease, leaving him very puzzled...

Because purely through his divine sense, he too couldn’t see the origin or cause of the Silver Hair Disease.

Originally thinking he could easily discern the root and solve it simply, he found he had underestimated the Silver Hair Disease—or rather, underestimated the source that caused it.

The Silver Hair Disease should have been triggered by something "immortal level" or higher!

Tracing the origin might take some effort.

He pressed the villa’s doorbell... Shortly after, three people came out.

"Xiao Jing...is it really you?"

Lin Jing’s revival, with his consent, had been told to the others by his parents.

The Fang family learned that Lin Jing hadn’t actually passed away but had been taken by cultivators for training, and now was coming personally to treat them with cultivation methods, which they found hard to believe for a long time. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Uncle, Auntie, it’s me." Lin Jing smiled. During his childhood, these elders had held him. Though he might now be older in reality, calling them uncle and auntie was still fitting.

The Silver Hair Disease on them... also seemed the same, with nothing visibly wrong.

Moreover, though they were sick, their complexion wasn’t bad. The daughter with her head of silver hair appeared almost elfish, exceptionally striking and extraordinary.

Lin Jing’s heart gave a small exclamation once more, feeling increasingly strange.

Why does it feel like a positive buff...

"Come, come, come in." Uncle Fang invited Lin Jing in. He didn’t stand on ceremony, and naturally entered, directly asking about some details.

Soon after, Lin Jing said, "Uncle, could you give me a strand of your hair?"

"Of course, no problem." Uncle Fang cheerfully plucked a hair for Lin Jing, who then used his immortal power to embark on a secondary exploration.

Meanwhile, watching Lin Jing’s serious demeanor, Fang Shuyun discreetly smirked, typing on her phone to her father: "Dad, you’re really going to believe him? Didn’t the school teachers say to wait patiently, that there would soon be research results?"

"What do you understand? Our ancestors’ legacies aren’t inferior to these foreign things." Glared at by her father and chided back, Fang Shuyun stopped talking, silently fuming.

She thought Lin Jing would eventually end up with nothing after a while, but it didn’t take long before Lin Jing crushed the silver hair and said:

"Your school’s teachers probably can’t cure this silver hair."

Startled by Lin Jing’s words, Fang Shuyun didn’t understand how he knew what she had just sent since it was only typing on the phone.

"Xiao Jing, this..." Uncle Fang was equally taken aback.

"Because this is not a illness as I initially thought." Lin Jing shook his head.

"Then what is it?"

"If I haven’t misjudged, it’s due to someone researching ancient corpses and an accident happened. The released corpse qi... has turned the people of this city like this. But don’t worry, this silver hair doesn’t affect you, Uncle and Auntie. However..." Lin Jing looked at Fang Shuyun, "for cultivators, it is different. This should be a ’mark’."

"It alters the living body slowly into their form. The higher the cultivation, the more complete the transformation. When it reaches a certain stage, there might be ’possession’... The silver hair should just be the beginning. More powerful teachers at your school might have other transformations."

Once more it was about possession, making Lin Jing feel heavy. Furthermore, the cause of all this was likely an immortal before death.

Just like that remnant soul.

Encountering such matters again made Lin Jing aware that on Earth’s surface, even though the highest cultivation is only at Fake Pill, secretly, a group of monsters using special methods to survive were all plotting their revival.

"This can’t go on." Such circumstances finally prompted Lin Jing to decide to leave behind a clone; otherwise, should any ancient powerhouse successfully revive, it would bring a devastating blow to Earth’s structure.

Unless he could neutralize all remnants from the old era, which was simply unrealistic...
