Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 106: Revealing the Foundation Building Ability
Two months later.

Somewhere deep in the mountains within Yanlai territory.

Lin Chen was suspended high in the sky, mobilizing his true energy.

The six top-grade magical flying knives around his body were swung like arms, drawing arcs in the air.

Every time the blade flashed, blood splattered everywhere, causing cries of grief to spread everywhere.

In just a few moments, dozens of bodies fell to the ground.

Lin Chen looked around with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that there were no living Tribulation Cultivators, he slowly descended.

At the same time, two figures came forward with respectful looks on their faces.

“Junior Brother Lin…Oh no, Senior Brother Lin!”

“Although Senior Brother has just entered the foundation building stage, the depth of his true essence is probably comparable to that of a cultivator at the third level of the foundation building stage!”

The two people who were talking were naturally the inner disciples who had traveled with Lin Chen before.

Ever since he made a lot of money from killing the robber cultivators, Lin Chen would occasionally cooperate with them to earn some contributions to the sect.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Brothers! I was just lucky enough to build my foundation. I am far from having enough qualifications and experience..."

Lin Chen put away the flying knife magic weapon and bowed humbly.

He called these two Qi Refining disciples "Senior Brothers" because they were older than Lin Chen and it was a humble title.

They called Lin Chen "Senior Brother" because Lin Chen was the first to build the foundation, which is a common title for the sect's disciples to rank according to their seniority.

Seeing Lin Chen being so humble, the two disciples looked at each other and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Lin, you are too modest... Senior Brother's true essence is so strong, could it be that he has built a top-grade foundation?"

"Haha, I just managed to achieve a perfect foundation by luck..."

Lin Chen did not hide the fact that building a perfect foundation would be an important cover for him to fight against higher levels in the future.

"What? Perfect foundation!"

After hearing this, the two disciples showed even more respect, but at the same time they couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Lin Chen smiled without saying anything, and looked at Li Zhenqian behind them, and said teasingly:

"Junior Brother Li has reached the peak of his magical powers, so I guess he is not far from building his foundation?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenqian's face turned red.

He stammered, "No...that's right!"

"I am also preparing to build a perfect foundation this time, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Lin to be one step ahead of me..."

The more Li Zhenqian spoke, the lower his voice became and the lower his head was buried.

In fact, he originally planned to only build a high-grade foundation.

But he didn't expect that Lin Chen not only established his foundation before him, but also established it perfectly, which shocked him deeply.

“No, if I am only at the upper-grade foundation building stage, won’t I be unable to catch up with Lin Chen in my lifetime?”

"Do I really have to call him Senior Brother for the rest of my life?"

At this moment, Li Zhenqian had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He secretly made up his mind to build a perfect foundation so that he would have a hope of surpassing Lin Chen.

Lin Chen saw through Li Zhenqian's thoughts, but did not point them out. Instead, he said:
“Haha, if that’s the case, then I wish Junior Brother Li success in building his foundation in advance!”

After saying that, Lin Chen activated his true energy and took out all the storage bags from those robbery cultivators.

Li Zhenqian and several others also took action to seize the spoils.

After a while.

The two inner disciples cleared out the spoils and came to Lin Chen.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for taking care of me over the past two months... We have gathered enough resources this time and are ready to return to the sect to build our foundation. We don't ask for a perfect foundation like Senior Brother, but as long as we can achieve a mid-level foundation, we will be satisfied..."

Then they asked:
"Brother, do you want to go back to the sect with us?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head and said:
"I have some personal matters to attend to. You two can go back first."

After hearing this, the two of them flew back to the sect.

At this time, Lin Chen saw that Li Zhenqian had not yet moved, so he asked:

"Junior Brother Li, are you going back to the sect?"

Li Zhenqian shook his head after hearing this. "I'm going to go home. My family has something to ask me to go back..."

In fact, Li Zhenqian wanted to go home and ask for more resources to see if he could achieve a perfect foundation.

After hearing this, Lin Chen bowed and said:
"In that case, I'll go ahead..."

After saying that, Lin Chen summoned the purple jade gourd and jumped up.

The foundation-building stage cultivation level was clearly visible as it drove away into the distance.

Li Zhenqian stood there, envious for a long time.

After a while, he also flew away in one direction.

Lin Chen walked around a hundred miles a few times, and after making sure that no one was following him, he took out his clothes and changed his appearance.

He changed direction and flew towards Yanlai City on his sword.

……

As the flying sword sped through the air, Lin Chen was also recalling the situation over the past two months.

Over the past two months, the situation in Yanlai has been changing dramatically.

First of all, the biggest change is naturally the robbery forces in Yanlai.

Since Changchunmen issued the mission, hundreds of large and small robbery forces have been wiped out one after another.

According to common sense, these Tribulation Cultivators should hide themselves and blend in with the casual cultivators to avoid the spotlight.

But who would have thought that these robbery cultivation forces would be absorbed by the largest group of eighteen robbery cultivations.

In the end, there were still more than twenty robbery cultivator forces in Yanlai territory, and each of them had a foundation-building cultivator in charge, and the threat was even greater than before.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was the changes in the Wild Wolf Faction.

Originally, after losing its leader Yelangzi, the Yelang Sect would have become like a pile of loose sand, allowing the Changchun Sect to control it.

But a cultivator claiming to be Brother Yelangzi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and reintegrated the Yelang Sect.

And this "Senior Brother Wild Wolf" is a true Jindan cultivator.

As a result, the struggle between the two factions became more intense than ever before.

As far as Shan Linchen knows, the number of Changchun Sect's inner and outer disciples who have died in the past two months is no less than a hundred...

Of course, the Wild Wolf Faction suffered even greater casualties.

Among the more than a thousand disciples of the sect, it is estimated that no less than three hundred were killed or injured.

After the two sects fought, the Changchun Sect also demonstrated the courage that a thousand-year-old sect should have.

After three hundred years of peace, Changchun Sect has accumulated a huge amount of spiritual resources, elixirs, magic weapons, etc.

It is also fully open to all disciples. As long as they make contributions to the sect, there will be unlimited supply of Foundation Establishment Pills!
This has led to, in just two months.

There are more than ten inner disciples of Changchun Sect who have been promoted to the foundation-building stage.

These inner disciples have been stuck at the stage of Qi Refining Perfection for a long time and have no spirit stones to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Now that the sect contribution has been released, killing two groups of robbery cultivators can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill.

Therefore, the number of foundation-building disciples naturally exploded.

Lin Chen estimated that within the next year, as long as the war continued, Changchun Sect would be able to have at least dozens more foundation-building disciples...

"The struggle between the two factions is still in the initial testing stage, and it is all the disciples who are taking action... No elders or peak masters have personally intervened yet."

"However, those independent cultivators and immortal cultivation families in Yanlai are the first to get restless."

A playful look flashed across Lin Chen's face.

To put it nicely, a casual cultivator is someone who is alone, does not rely on any sect, and is free and unfettered.

But in reality, more than half of the independent cultivators have criminal records.

On weekdays, they practice diligently, trade resources, and improve their cultivation.

Maybe he is the owner of a pill shop, or a clerk in a magic weapon shop.

But once they have the chance, they will do something big and plunder a lot of resources...

Then continue to practice diligently, and repeat the cycle.

Just like the independent cultivators that Lin Chen met in the black market, most of them were like this.

But now, the situation in Yanlai has made those independent cultivators unable to sit still.

Some independent cultivators chose to stand on the side of Changchun Sect.

Although they cannot accept sect missions, they can negotiate with disciples, sell intelligence, or directly participate in the suppression of robbers to earn spirit stones.

There are also some independent cultivators who simply joined the robbery cultivator forces.

They robbed people everywhere, regardless of whether they were disciples of the sect, ordinary people, or immortal cultivation families. The changes in these independent cultivators also led to a change in the attitude of the immortal cultivation families in Yanlai.

The four great immortal cultivation families in Yanlai City, Xiao, Li, Meng and Cai, all suffered unexpected disasters.

This also led to the four major families being forced to join in the siege of the robbery cultivators.

On the one hand, they cracked down on small groups of robbery cultivators, and on the other hand, they purchased large quantities of magic weapons and elixirs.

The last two auctions in Guangyuan Town brought Lin Chen an income of 15,000 spirit stones.

At the same time, it is difficult to find a weapon in Yanlai City.

Whether it is the immortal cultivation families or the independent cultivators, they are all secretly purchasing high-quality magic tools...

Lin Chen went to Yanlai City naturally to sell magic weapons.

……

More than an hour later, Lin Chen arrived at Yanlai City.

He first strolled around the city, then turned and entered a shop.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy a formation?"

As soon as Lin Chen entered, a servant came forward respectfully to ask.

"You have no say over what I want to discuss. Call your shop owner..."

Lin Chen said calmly, his tone full of arrogance.

The servant's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Lin Chen carefully again.

Lin Chen's appearance and manners were both extraordinary, and more importantly, his cultivation was unfathomable.

So he said respectfully:
"Senior, please wait a moment."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, found a random seat in the shop, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

After a moment, a young man in fancy clothes came over.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, a little surprised inside, but remained calm on the surface.

"Humph, can any little kid now replace the Li family of Yanlai City?"

That’s right, the formation shop that Lin Chen walked into was opened by the Li family.

The young man in front of him is... Li Zhenqian!

Lin Chen didn't expect to meet this guy again so soon.

After being ridiculed by Lin Chen, Li Zhenqian's face turned red.

But he couldn't see through the depth of Lin Chen's cultivation, so he could only say awkwardly:

"This fellow Taoist..."

"Ok?"

Lin Chen's heart moved, and he revealed his cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building.

Li Zhenqian's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly changed his address:
"Senior, what brings you to my Li family formation shop? You don't look like you're here to buy a formation..."

Seeing Li Zhenqian's respectful look, Lin Chen almost laughed out loud.

But considering his current status, he still said with a straight face:

"Who are you? I want to do business with the Li family. It's a big deal worth tens of thousands of spirit stones... Can you make the decision?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenqian hesitated.

Although he is the eldest grandson of the Li family, he is still unable to make the decision on the business of ten thousand spirit stones.

Besides, the senior in front of him is an expert in the middle stage of foundation building, so he would probably not tell lies.

So, Li Zhenqian said respectfully:
"Please wait for a moment, senior. I will report to my father first..."

After saying that, Li Zhenqian took out the jade slip to contact his father.

Lin Chen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting quietly.

In fact, he has been observing this kid Li Zhenqian.

I saw him serving tea and water, and running around.

You know what, he really has the demeanor of a family disciple.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a thin man with a mustache walked in, followed by two servants.

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, knowing that the real culprit had arrived.

Sure enough, after he entered the store, he first exchanged glances with Li Zhenqian.

After understanding the situation, he walked up to Lin Chen and said:
"My fellow Taoist, what is your name? I am the head of the Li family, Li Dongkun."

"My son has told me the general situation, but I don't know what kind of business you want to do?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen looked around and said nothing.

Li Dongkun understood what he meant and stretched out his hand.
"Fellow Daoist, shall we go into the backyard and have a chat?"

Lin Chen then nodded and followed Li Dongkun into the backyard of the store.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Chen stated his purpose.

"I am not talented. I am the sixth child in my family. You can just call me Han Laoliu."

Lin Chen made up a name at random, then reached out and took out three top-grade magical weapons.

These are three flying swords, all made from thousand-year-old iron essence and very similar in style.

"Master Li, I wonder if you are interested in this top-grade magical weapon?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.

Li Dongkun was stunned when he saw the flying sword. He asked tentatively:

"Fellow Daoist Han...can I take a closer look at this magical weapon?"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, and Li Dongkun took the flying sword and looked at it carefully.

Because of the addition of thousand-year-old iron essence, this flying sword is extremely heavy in the hand.

Li Dongkun injected his true energy and felt it carefully.

After a moment, he looked surprised.

"It's really a top-grade magical weapon... and there are three of them in a set. They seem to be from the same source?"

After hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Han, do you know Master Wu Leizi?"

As the head of the Li family, Li Dongkun naturally knew a lot.

Over the past six months, the name of Master Wu Lei Zi has spread among the circle of independent cultivators.

His identity is mysterious, he has mastered superb weapon-refining skills, and he seems to have countless fine magical weapons in his hands.

There is also the incredibly powerful Five Thunder Seeds, which has become a representative magic weapon.

Li Dongkun had bought two sets of top-grade flying swords, so it was not difficult for him to find that the refining techniques and skills of these flying swords were very similar.

Lin Chen had already thought of this, and he had no intention of hiding it.

So he pretended to recall and said:

"You mean my seventh son? This guy sold a lot of magic weapons some time ago and was appreciated by the higher-ups..."

Lin Chen's words were vague, only indicating that he and "Master Wu Lei Zi" seemed to come from the same place.

It was precisely this ambiguous attitude that made Li Dongkun even more unsure.

As a smart man, Li Dongkun knew that he should not ask too many questions.

So he turned his attention to the flying sword in his hand.

"Master Han... I wonder how you would sell this flying sword?"

Lin Chen had already thought of the price, and he said casually: "One flying sword, 1,500 spirit stones."

Li Dongkun nodded upon hearing this.

This price is not expensive!

The price of a top-grade magic weapon was previously around a thousand spirit stones.

But due to the recent turbulent situation, prices in the entire magic weapon market have risen sharply.

These 1,500 spirit stones are a fair price.

So Li Dongkun asked tentatively:

"Fellow Daoist Han, I want all three of these top-grade flying swords...but I don't know how many you have on hand?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled lightly and said calmly:
"That depends on how much you want..."

He has hundreds of top-grade magical weapons in his hands, and no one in Yanlai can defeat them except Changchun Sect.

He was sure that Li Dongkun would not buy too much.

As expected, after Li Dongkun pondered for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I want to buy a set of nine flying swords... I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han can sell them to me?"
