Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 111 One Year Later, Eighth Level of Foundation Building

"Within a year and a half... the ancient ruins will be opened ahead of schedule?"

Lin Chen was a little surprised.

According to what he had thought before, he had no intention of entering the ruins to explore.

After all, he had already successfully formed the elixir four or five years ago, so he had reason to refuse.

But now the ruins were opened ahead of schedule, catching him off guard.

Having already accepted Jiang Liqian's favor, it seemed difficult for him to go back on his word.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked:
"Junior Sister Jiang, what are the risks in this ancient ruins? Why do you want to explore it? Can you tell me?"

Jiang Liqian was silent after hearing this, then sighed:

"Alas, actually I didn't intend to hide this from you, but now that the ruins are open ahead of schedule, I don't know whether taking you there will help you or harm you..."

"That relic was originally the cave residence of a Jindan cultivator thousands of years ago."

"It is said that the Jindan cultivator only had two spiritual roots, but he was able to condense a ninth-grade golden elixir that was one in a million. He relied on a secret method for forming a golden elixir - the third level of Jinyuan Gong!"

Secret method of forming a golden elixir? Ninth-grade golden elixir?
Lin Chen held his forehead and thought.

The ninth-grade golden elixir is of a quality that is one in a million.

Not to mention a small place like Yanlai Realm, even looking at the entire Qingzhou, there are only a handful of geniuses who can condense golden elixir of this quality.

"Would you mind telling me in detail?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice. If it was related to the ninth-grade golden elixir, then he would really be interested.

Jiang Liqian did not hide anything and said in detail:
"The quality of the elixir is related to the path after the elixir is formed, and even to the path of forming an infant and becoming a spirit in the future."

"And it's different from perfect foundation building. As long as you have excellent qualifications and sufficient financial support, it will be fine. Even if Changchun Sect is willing to spend a lot of money, it won't be difficult to cultivate one or two perfect foundation building..."

"However, the quality of the elixir is only related to one's own aptitude. Even if it is a golden elixir that is worth thousands of gold, it can only improve the quality slightly."

"Only this technique is different! For example..."

"If you can only condense a sixth-grade golden elixir, it would be considered a superior talent. However, if you are a practitioner who has completed the third level of the Golden Yuan Gong... then the quality of the elixir can be directly raised to the third level, and eventually reach the ninth-grade golden elixir!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen's heart couldn't help but twitch.

One technique can improve the quality of golden elixir by three grades?
This is... too outrageous!
There is a world of difference between the sixth-grade golden elixir and the ninth-grade golden elixir!
According to common sense in the world of immortal cultivation, a sixth-grade golden elixir could give one a glimpse into the Nascent Soul realm; and a ninth-grade golden elixir would give one an almost 100% chance of entering the Nascent Soul realm!
"Tsk tsk, no wonder... wouldn't the major forces in Qingzhou be fighting over this secret method of forming an elixir?"

Lin Chen thought to himself, with such a heaven-defying skill, it is understandable that Jiang Liqian would want to go deeper into the ruins.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liqian continued to release shocking news.

"Moreover, the effect of the third level of Golden Yuan Gong is not limited to this!"

"It is rumored that if an eighth-grade golden elixir master practices this skill, he may even be able to condense the rumored super-grade or even heaven-grade golden elixir!"

Lin Chen was stunned after hearing this. Super-grade or heaven-grade golden elixir?
This was a quality of Dan that he had never even heard of!
For a ninth-grade golden elixir cultivator, there is almost a 100% chance that they will form a fetus...

What about that heavenly golden elixir? Could it be a glimpse of... the state of incarnation?
Thinking of this, even Lin Chen's breathing became heavier.

"If it is such a significant relic, why don't the top forces in Qingzhou send strong men to look for it?"

Lin Chen asked with some doubt.

Jiang Liqian explained after hearing this:

"The major forces in Qingzhou have already sent people to explore, but they found that the ruins are equipped with a formation. If a cultivator above the foundation building level forcibly breaks in, the ruins will self-destruct, and at that time, the third level of Jin Yuan Gong will disappear forever..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly. This made a lot more sense.

Jiang Liqian said again:
"According to the intelligence, the cultivator who practiced the third level of Jin Yuan Gong should have been a ninth level Jin Dan cultivator before his death, and was only one step away from forming a fetus."

"Therefore, there must be many magical weapons and rare treasures in the ruins... Maybe there is a life savings of a ninth-level golden elixir cultivator in the ruins!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen became even more excited. The wealth that Jiuzhuan Jindan could gain in a lifetime would probably not be a small amount.

"So, the specific time when the ruins will be opened is one and a half years from now?"

"Not necessarily. The latest is one and a half years. If it's early, it might be opened in a year..."

Jiang Liqian shook his head and said:

"Because the ruins restrict the level of cultivation of the cultivators who can enter, the dual cultivation of Dharma and body undoubtedly has a great advantage."

"This is also the reason why I came to you before... But I didn't expect the ruins to be opened ahead of time. In such a short time, I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate to the perfection of foundation building..."

Jiang Liqian sighed, "By then, there will probably be quite a few Foundation Establishment geniuses coming to this ruins, and the competition will surely be very fierce..."

Lin Chen's face remained calm after hearing this, but he thought to himself:

"A year later? The time is just right..."

Lin Chen estimated that if the ruins were opened a year later, his cultivation should still be at the foundation-building stage, which would be the best time to explore the ruins.

Jiang Liqian then explained some things and information to Lin Chen.

He told Lin Chen to practice with peace of mind.

After Jiang Liqian left, Lin Chen went back to attend the foundation-building celebration.

Li Zhenqian looked around, but only saw Lin Chen coming back, so he asked:

"Where's Senior Sister Jiang? Why did she come to see you?"

Lin Chen said casually: "She went back after handling her personal affairs..."

"Private matter!?"

Li Zhenqian seemed to have sensed the key, and felt even more uncomfortable.

After the foundation-building celebration, Lin Chen returned to the Lin family pavilion.

When thinking about the ancient ruins.

"The third level of Jin Yuan Gong can improve the quality of Jin Dan...If you miss it, it will be gone!"

"This is such an important secret method, we have to try our best no matter what!"

Lin Chen thought silently, although his aptitude was not bad, there was still a gap between him and condensing the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, let alone a higher quality one?
“However, it is said that the quality of spiritual roots affects the quality of pill formation… It would be great if I could upgrade the Soul Devouring Spirit Root to the second stage before forming the pill…”

Lin Chen thought silently.

……

Spring goes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Daxia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.

Lin Chen sat in the lounge and took a Qingyuan Pill.

Hundreds of spirit stones were scattered around his body, and the spirit gathering array provided abundant spiritual energy that flowed into Lin Chen's dantian.

The true energy in his dantian surged like waves.

After several hours, Lin Chen felt that the spiritual energy in his dantian finally reached a critical point, and a breakthrough occurred naturally.

"Whoo~"

Lin Chen exhaled lightly, then slowly stood up. Feeling the true energy in his body increase by 20% to 30%, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Eighth level of foundation building..."

With a slight movement in his heart, Lin Chen's consciousness spread in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, it spread to two hundred and thirty feet away.

The entire Martial Arts Palace was within Lin Chen's perception.

"At the eighth level of foundation building, my spiritual awareness is only 160 meters... but my third level of Tian Yan Jue has increased it a lot!"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

The spiritual consciousness of two hundred and thirty feet has almost surpassed the perfection of foundation building.

The spiritual consciousness is powerful and has many uses in both combat and self-protection.

"Unfortunately, the remaining chapter of Tian Yan Jue only reaches the fourth level..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

I looked up at the sky and it was still some time before night.

"Eat another piece of monster flesh... I'm not far from the Martial Spirit level now..."

Lin Chen took out the flesh and blood of a first, second or third level monster.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls, it takes half an hour to digest.

The blood in the body is replenished again...

He lowered his head and glanced at the Qi and blood value on his watch.

——2536 points!
There are less than 500 points left to reach the Martial Spirit level standard.

This is all the growth that Lin Chen has achieved in the past year!
The increase in Qi and blood was close to one thousand four hundred points, and he jumped from a junior general to a senior general!
And his cultivation level also jumped from the fourth level of foundation building to the eighth level of foundation building!
After breaking through the threshold of the late stage of foundation building, it is not far from the perfection of foundation building...

"Ding Ding~"

At this time, Lin Chen received a text message on his watch.

"Xiao Chen, are you coming home for dinner tonight? I've made some pork rib soup..."

The text message was sent by his aunt. Lin Chen felt warm in his heart and got up to call Li Nian.

"Hey, Brother Li! Please take me home!"

……

A moment later, at the Lin family's military community.

A family of four was eating around the dining table while the news was playing on TV.

"Wow, it's stewed pork ribs!"

Lin Anan scooped herself a bowl of soup and ate the spareribs in big mouthfuls, tasting the sweet taste.

A year later, Lin Anan's strange illness had long been cured.

She is no longer as thin as before, and the little fat on her belly has appeared.

Nearly sixty marrow cleansing pills also allowed her to possess an acquired pure body.

In other words, Lin Anan's current martial arts talent is considered top-notch in the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"

"Mom asks you, how are your preparations for the martial arts exam going?"

"You will take the college entrance examination next year... I heard from your teacher that you have failed all the cultural subjects? Can you learn from your brother?"

During the meal, Aunt Kong Shan started nagging again.

Lin Anan pouted, covered her ears, and looked like she had lost all hope in life.

Lin Chen felt helpless when he saw this. This kind of nagging is a must in every household, right?
Seeing An An winking at her, Lin Chen quickly tried to smooth things over:
"By the way, Auntie, I just transferred my scholarship to your bank card. There is half a million dollars!"

"real?!"

Seeing this, the aunt quickly checked her communication watch and smiled when she saw the balance of the bank card. Lin Chen also smiled knowingly when he saw this.

Since he had the ability to travel between the two worlds, Lin Chen was often not at home, so he used the excuse of going to the Martial Arts University.

At the same time, there is also reason to occasionally send some money back home to improve the family's conditions.

After being delighted, the aunt said:
"Alas, you are at the stage of making progress in martial arts. How can it be appropriate to send money home every day?"

"Auntie will transfer it back to you. Please buy a few more nutrient solutions..."

Having said that, my aunt manipulated the situation again and transferred the money back intact, even adding an extra 100,000 yuan.

Lin Chen felt helpless when he saw this. He wanted to repay his family, but his aunt was always worried that he would treat her badly.

At this time, the aunt said:
"Look at your brother, he's already sent money home! When will you be able to let a mother like me worry less?"

Seeing that the war was coming to her again, Lin Anan looked at Lin Chen with resentment.

Uncle Lin Jianhe had been eating his meal with big mouthfuls. Hearing this, he interrupted:
"Xiao Chen, last time I told my old comrades that you were an outstanding student at Kyoto Budo University... and they didn't believe it!"

"Bring me your certificate of excellence some other day and I'll show it to them in person! Humph!"

Lin Chen felt helpless after hearing this, but he could only perfunctorily say:

"Okay uncle, the certificate is in the school dormitory, I will bring it back someday..."

He felt quite helpless.

As the saying goes, once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies.

Lin Chen told his uncle that he had joined the special forces and was studying at Kyoto Budo University.

Over the next year, he took his uncle to Kyoto University three times, took a student ID card, and even attended a parent-teacher conference...

Of course, these certificates could be issued casually given the status of the Martial Arts Palace, but it also made Lin Chen quite distressed.

"What if my sister gets admitted to Kyoto Budo University and comes to see me every day at school?"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Just at this moment, news came from the TV nearby.

"The whole country is celebrating. The ninth generation breathing method is officially being promoted. It is expected to be popularized nationwide within a week..."

For a time, the news attracted the attention of the whole family.

After seeing this news, Lin Jianhe sighed:
"Times change so fast! The eighth generation of breathing techniques was released only a year ago, how come the ninth generation is already released..."

He felt a little unbelievable.

According to his understanding, each generation of breathing techniques requires hundreds of years of refinement.

Now two generations have been launched in just two years...this speed is amazing!

After hearing this, my aunt rolled her eyes and said:

"What's wrong? I advise you to put away your little thoughts!"

"Times have changed! A dozen years ago, your old bones were still somewhat useful on the battlefield."

"In my opinion, in a few years, martial artists like you will be everywhere on the street..."

When she said this, a look of sadness appeared on her aunt's face again.

Most of the family’s income comes from Lin Jianhe’s teaching in the martial arts school.

If there were martial artists everywhere on the streets, wouldn't Lin Jianhe be unemployed?

After hearing this, Lin Jianhe snorted and said proudly:
"It may be easier to break through the martial arts realm, but I still have these martial arts skills! Besides, I'm not far from becoming a great martial artist..."

After recovering from his broken leg, the Water of Life seemed to further stimulate Lin Jianhe's potential.

His Qi and blood values, which had been slowly decreasing, actually began to increase gradually.

"But speaking of it, our Daxia breathing method is indeed at the forefront of the world!"

"I heard that recently the other six countries have proposed to let Daxia share the breathing method, saying that this is the wealth of all mankind and should be shared to fight against monsters together..."

Lin Jianhe obviously pays close attention to current affairs.

"Uncle, what does the country say?" Lin Chen blinked and asked from the side.

Lin Jianhe said proudly:
"What can I say? Of course I refuse! It's true that we can fight against the monsters together...but you can't give this breathing method away for free, right?"

"It is said that they used the eighth generation breathing method in exchange for a batch of resources and cutting-edge technology..."

At this point, Lin Jianhe laughed:

"Look, the eighth generation breathing method was just replaced last month, and the ninth generation breathing method came out this month... Do you think our country did this on purpose?"

Seeing Lin Jianhe making faces, the whole family couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Chen also smiled without saying anything. He naturally knew the news a long time ago.

Daxia does intend to share the breathing method. After all, the human race is on the same front against the demon race.

But it cannot be given away for free, this eighth-generation breathing method has exchanged for a huge amount of resources and technology.

"But then again, even if we don't share it, other countries will learn from it before long..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

After finishing his meal, he glanced at the countdown on his arm.

Tomorrow is the next time I will travel through the world of immortal cultivation.

So he said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm going to school! I'll be home next week..."

"Wait, bring the pork rib soup. Auntie left half a pot for you..."

Kong Shan hurried to the kitchen and handed over the thermal box.

After saying hello, Lin Chen went downstairs and sent a message to Li Nian.

"Brother Li, please send me to the Martial Arts Palace!"

Along the way, Li Nian drove the car, glancing at Lin Chen from the rearview mirror from time to time.

Seeing that he was worried, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, what do you want to say? Just say it."

Li Nian was not ambiguous after hearing this and complained:

"Lin Chen, over the past year or so... I've almost become your personal driver."

"From what I can see, your strength shouldn't be much worse than mine, right? How about talking to your uncle Wang and asking him to transfer me back to the front line?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen chuckled and said:
"How can that be possible? Brother Li is probably not far from the Martial Sect Realm. How can I be his opponent... And it's not easy to find a driver with Brother Li's excellent driving skills!"

After hearing this, Li Nian sighed and concentrated on driving.

He was used to the life of fighting in the martial world, and during the more than a year that he served as Lin Chen's bodyguard, he was in a semi-vacation state.

The treatment and salary are naturally excellent, even better than before.

But a soldier like him always feels uncomfortable if he doesn't fight in the martial arts realm.

……

The hovercraft sped towards the military area and soon stopped at the gate of the Martial Arts Palace.

After arriving at the space-time chamber, Wang Lishan and others had been waiting for a long time.

After replenishing Lin Chen's weapons and equipment, Wang Lishan handed Lin Chen a piece of information.

This information is naturally the think tank's prediction of the situation in the world of immortal cultivation.

Over the past year, every time Lin Chen returned safely, the think tank would immediately assess the situation and try their best to provide Lin Chen with the greatest convenience.

After reading the information carefully, Lin Chen put it into his nano bag.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, have the latest improvements for Long Ba and Feng Jiu been completed?"

After hearing this, Wang Lishan smiled mysteriously and said:

"We've been prepared for this! We got the latest artificial intelligence technology from Mexico..."

"Now, these two martial arts robots are much more useful than before."

"In addition, the firepower weapons and kinetic energy systems have also undergone a major update... I guess it won't be a problem for us to fight against powerful martial spirit masters now!"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.

Over the past year, Long Ba and Feng Jiu have made more than ten improvements.

Martial arts robots are also gradually maturing.

According to Wang Lishan’s idea, the next step should be mass production.

At least produce dozens of them to ensure Lin Chen's safety in the world of immortal cultivation as much as possible.

After all, living people cannot be taken with them, but can't robots carry as many as they want?

Soon, Lin Chen saw the improved Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

Compared to more than a year ago, his appearance hasn't changed much, but he is obviously smarter.

“Master Sect Master!” Long Ba and Feng Jiu said in unison after seeing Lin Chen.

There was even a vivid expression of respect on his face.

In the underlying logic of the martial arts robots, Lin Chen is their leader.

They must not betray him...

Lin Chen nodded slightly and put the two martial arts robots into the nano bag.

After more than ten improvements, the martial arts robot became heavier.

The combined weight of the two is close to thirty tons.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's strength as a high-level general, he probably wouldn't be able to move it so easily...

After installing the martial arts robot, Wang Lishan said:

"Oh, right, there are further improvements to the Sky Demon Armor..."

"After you put on this armor, I'm afraid that ordinary martial spirits will not be your opponents... Do you want to try it?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen was quite interested and decided to give it a try.

He just stood there, and the various parts of the Demon Armor automatically attached to Lin Chen as if in a science fiction movie.

The heavy armor was completely attached to Lin Chen in less than ten seconds.

This is the automatic donning function of the Warframe.

After entering the armor, Lin Chen heard an artificial intelligence voice in his ears.

"Mr. Lin Chen, the 2.6 version of the Heavenly Demon Armor has just been improved. Let me introduce the new features of the armor to you..."
