Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 112: With Spiritual Stones, a Confined Beast Still Fights
After a while, Lin Chen, wearing the armor, had a general understanding of the new functions of the Heavenly Demon Armor.

The first is the upgrade of the kinetic energy system, which not only greatly improves running speed and strength.

The Demon Armor has finally unlocked the flying function!
In full speed mode, the Demon Armor will fly at a speed of seven hundred meters per second.

It is even much faster than Lin Chen's flying device.

In addition, the power support system of the Sky Demon Armor has also been greatly updated.

At present, Lin Chen’s basic strength is less than 20 kilograms, but after putting on the armor, it will reach an astonishing kilograms!
This is the strength standard of a high-level martial spirit...

In addition, the armor is also equipped with new weapons, which are imported from other countries.

For example, a tracking missile that can automatically aim and locate...

In this way, the armor's frontal combat and pursuit capabilities are further enhanced!
After putting on the armor and getting used to it for half an hour, he gave the order to take it off.

So in less than three seconds, the Demon Armor was automatically peeled off and put into the storage bag.

After returning to the time and space room, Lin Chen said with satisfaction:

"This Heavenly Demon Battle Armor is just what I want... With this thing, I can fight even a Jindan cultivator head-on!"

After a moment, Lin Chen was fully prepared.

As the countdown on his arm reached zero, his vision changed.

……

Yanlai City, an inn.

After Lin Chen crossed over, he skillfully put various supplies into the storage bag.

Before returning to Blue Star, Lin Chen was in Yanlai City, preparing to trade with major immortal cultivation families.

Nowadays, the transactions in Yanlai City have become a stable source of income for Lin Chen.

At noon, Lin Chen disguised himself as Han Laoliu and went to Li's Mansion.

The patriarchs of the four major families, including Li Dongkun, have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Lin Chen coming, he hurried forward.

"Master Han, you are finally here..."

"This is the list of materials we purchased this time. Would you like to take a look?"

Li Dongkun looked respectful as he handed over a long piece of paper that was densely packed with records of all kinds of supplies.

Three hundred top-grade magic weapons, twenty best-grade magic weapons, and ten top-grade foundation-building pills...

Five hundred bottles of blood coagulation pills, three hundred bottles of Qi-boosting pills...

"Hmm? Five Thunder Seeds... one thousand?"

Lin Chen blinked, wondering if these immortal cultivation families were going too far.

He raised his eyes and looked at Li Dongkun.

I saw him confidently saying:

"Master Han, these supplies are not only purchased by our four major families... but also needed by dozens of immortal cultivation families in Yanlai City!"

"Ahem, of course if Master can't come up with so many supplies at once, you can give them slowly!"

Li Dongkun made a face and winked.

Lin Chen gave him a meaningful look.

Such a quantity of supplies is worth no less than 300,000 spirit stones!
Even the immortal cultivation families in Yanlai City definitely don’t have so many material needs…

there is only one truth--

The buyers of these supplies are the many independent cultivators within the territory of Yanlai!
In fact, Lin Chen discovered the signs half a year ago.

Originally, his transactions with the four major families were stable at around 50,000 spirit stones each time.

But until half a year ago, the transaction volume suddenly skyrocketed to more than 200,000 spirit stones.

At the same time, Lin Chen discovered that many independent cultivators in Yanlai City and even in Changchun Mountain Market had the magical weapons he had refined.

Then Lin Chen can come to an obvious conclusion.

The four major families buy high-quality elixirs and magical instruments from him, and then sell them to other independent cultivators at a higher price.

And they are just middlemen who make money from the difference!
But Lin Chen doesn’t care who buys it, all he cares about is how much he can earn.

With the help of the four major families as matchmakers, he actually saved the time of constantly selling things to independent cultivators.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen put away the list and said:

"Of course, I have as many pills and magic weapons as you want..."

"But the question is, do you have enough spirit stones?"

Lin Chen glanced at the heads of various families in the courtyard.

After hearing this, Li Dongkun nodded repeatedly and said:

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Li Dongkun handed over a storage bag.

"There are 150,000 spirit stones in it, and the rest are a lot of medicinal herbs, ores, and formation materials... which are also what the master asked us to purchase before!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly, put away the storage bag and used his spiritual sense to investigate.

"Hmm? The price of these goods is not right, right? It seems that there is still a gap from 150,000 spirit stones..."

Lin Chen raised his eyes and looked towards Patriarch Li.

Li Dongkun calmly took out a pair of jade pendants and said:

"Master Han is indeed very insightful..."

"However, didn't the master ask us to find a treasure that can block divine consciousness? It is effective, but it costs a lot..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen cursed the old fox in his heart.

But he still reached out and took the pair of jade pendants.

"This jade pendant is called the Yin-Yang Fish Pendant. In addition to its ability to shield spiritual perception, it can also sense each other's perception within a certain distance."

"We spent a lot of effort to get it. I heard it came from some ancient ruins..."

Li Dongkun explained on the side.

After getting the jade pendant, Lin Chen rubbed it carefully and found that there was indeed a restriction in it that blocked spiritual consciousness.

"However, this jade pendant may not be what Li Dongkun received recently."

"Maybe it has been kept at home for a long time, and now I want to sell it for a good price..."

Lin Chen thought silently, but he really needed a treasure that could block divine consciousness to conceal the identities of Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen said calmly:

"Very good, in that case, let this jade pendant be used to pay for the remaining goods!"

After saying that, Lin Chen waved his hand, and mountains of magic weapons, elixirs and pills appeared in the yard.

After the elders of several major families finished their inventory, Lin Chen left leisurely.

A long time after Lin Chen left, the patriarchs of the small families left.

The four patriarchs of the only four remaining families, Xiao, Li, Meng and Cai, gathered together.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think about today's incident?"

"The origins of this Master Han are becoming more and more mysterious... How could he take out such a large number of magic weapons and elixirs in one go?"

"This is 300,000 spirit stones! Let alone our four major families, even Changchun Sect can't produce this much in such a short time..."

Li Dongkun's tone was slightly excited, and there was still surprise in his eyes.

Over the past year, Lin Chen knew exactly how much transactions he had with them.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it can arm half of the independent cultivators in Yanlai City...

With such a background, even a force like Changchun Sect would find it difficult to come up with it.

"Yes! This Master Han's background is definitely extraordinary! Now that the war is at a stalemate, his Fengling Yueying Sect has big plans!"

The two heads of the Meng and Cai families also echoed, but did not point out the crux of the problem.

Only the head of the Xiao family took out a few bottles of pills and put them under his nose to sniff them, then carefully observed the magical instruments being traded.

After a long silence, he said:
"The elixirs and magic weapons he traded were all newly forged...they didn't even take more than a year to refine!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the other three family heads, and said in a more serious tone:
"Do you all understand what this means?"

The other three family heads were also surprised when they heard this.

Previously, they only paid attention to the huge transaction amount, but did not pay attention to the refining time limit for this batch of goods.

After hearing what Patriarch Xiao said, the other Patriarchs were all shocked:
"Brother Xiao, what you mean is... every time he purchases such a large amount of materials from us, it is for refining pills and equipment?"

"My goodness... How many spirit stones did Fengling Yueying Sect earn from this round trip?"

"More than that! To refine so many elixirs and magical instruments in a month... there must be at least hundreds of alchemists and instrument refiners working day and night, right?"

Having said this, the yard fell silent again.

Obviously, it is impossible for alchemists and weapon refiners to refine weapons day and night.

This means that the Fengling Yueying Sect is a powerful force with at least hundreds of alchemists and weapon refiners!

What kind of concept is this? Even if it is Changchun Sect, the number one sect in Yanlai...

There are only a few dozen alchemists and weapon refiners who can refine elixirs and magic weapons of this quality.

Thinking of this, Li Dongkun said in a trembling voice:

"Brother Xiao, do you mean... that the Fengling Yueying Sect is a Nascent Soul force outside of Qingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Xiao shook his head and said:
"More than that, we can only say that he is at least at the Nascent Soul level... and even above the Nascent Soul level, it is still unknown!"

After these words were spoken, the other family heads all took a deep breath.

How could a mere Foundation Establishment family like them not be worried when trading with Nascent Soul or even more powerful forces?

Only the head of the Xiao family collected a batch of goods and chuckled:

"Everyone, what are you afraid of? He is from the Fengling Yueying Sect and is here to make money, not to kill people!"

"Has there been any problems with the transactions over the past year? Moreover, such a large number of magic tools and elixirs have flowed into independent cultivators and immortal cultivation families, which has also improved the overall strength of the cultivators in Yanlai." After a pause, he continued:
"Besides, haven't you earned enough this year?"

"Which of you hasn't made tens of thousands of spirit stones? This is more money than you could have made in the past ten years."

After these words were spoken, the other family heads nodded in agreement.

"Yeah! Why think so much? Just make money!"

"In my opinion, this Fengling Yueying Sect doesn't look like a demonic force..."

In the yard, a group of family heads swallowed their hearts in dismay.

For these immortal cultivation families, whoever gives them meat is a fellow Taoist.

……

On the other side, after Lin Chen completed the transaction, he left Yanlai City.

After flying hundreds of miles skillfully, Lin Chen rushed into the mountains and waded through the river to wash off the smell on his body.

After that, he changed into his original form and returned all the way back to Changchun Mountain Market.

Returning to the Lin's Pavilion and going up to the second floor, Lin Chen counted his savings over the past year.

The divine consciousness swept across the purple jade gourd, and spiritual stones piled up like a mountain.

"Over the past year, I have accumulated nearly 700,000 spirit stones..."

"It's not far from the time to upgrade the Soul Devouring Spirit Root with a million Spirit Stones!"

Lin Chen had some anticipation in his heart.

According to what was said in the jade slip, the transition from the first level to the second level of the Soul-Devouring Root is a qualitative change!
A first-level Soul-Devouring Root only unlocks the attributes of all five elements, and the root's aptitude is slightly improved.

But when it comes to the second-level spiritual roots, the speed of cultivation will jump from the true spiritual roots to the earth spiritual roots level!
The speed of cultivation has almost doubled!

In addition, because the spiritual roots devour millions of spirit stones, their own true essence and magic power will become much stronger, and their combat effectiveness will also be greatly increased.

Lin Chen withdrew his consciousness and murmured:

"But it's not far from the time when the ancient ruins will be opened. The one-year period has come to an end, and the ruins may be opened at any time within the next six months..."

"Next, we must speed up the process of earning spirit stones and gather a million spirit stones as soon as possible to reach the second-level Soul Devouring Spirit Root before entering the ruins!"

……

The next morning, Lin Chen went to the main hall of the Changchun Mountain Sect.

Compared to when the mission was just announced a year ago, the number of disciples coming to accept the sect's mission has obviously decreased a lot.

On the one hand, it was because the various robbers in Yanlai suffered heavy casualties.

Most of the eighteen major calamity cultivators and hundreds of minor calamity cultivators in the past were wiped out.

In the end, there were only three robbery cultivators left, but each of them was very powerful.

Each of these three groups of Tribulation Cultivators has several Tribulation Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and hundreds of Tribulation Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage under their command. Ordinary disciples dare not provoke them easily.

On the other hand, the number of Changchun Sect disciples has also decreased significantly.

In the past year of fighting with the Wild Wolf Sect and the Jie Xiu, it was not just the hostile forces that died.

In the past, there were nearly four hundred inner disciples of Changchun Sect.

Now, there are only about 300 people left, and nearly one third of them have been killed...

Even so, there are still many disciples in the late and perfect Qi Refining stages who frequently accept tasks.

Just to get a glimpse of the foundation-building period.

The results are certainly gratifying. In the past year, Changchun Sect has added nearly twenty new foundation-building disciples.

These are the backbone of the sect, far from being comparable to the Qi Refining disciples.

Therefore, overall, Changchunmen’s strength has increased instead of decreased.

Passing through the Disciple Square, Lin Chen stepped into the sect's main hall.

He glanced around and saw Elder Liu dozing off to the side.

After seeing Lin Chen, Elder Liu perked up and said with a smile:
"Xiao Lin? Are you coming to the sect's main hall to accept the mission?"

"Alas, it's not easy to take on missions nowadays. The ones that can earn contributions are all tough nuts to crack..."

Elder Liu pointed at the mission notice and said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Lin Chen's heart moved and a box of tea appeared in his hand.

"How is Elder Liu these days?"

"The spiritual tea that the elder asked me to buy from Yanlai City has arrived... This year's new tea is very sweet!"

As he spoke, Lin Chen handed it over.

Elder Liu took the tea leaves and sniffed them for a moment, then put them away when he saw that no one was around.

He smiled and said, "You are really good at handling things! So, what kind of mission do you want to take?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen also chuckled twice and whispered:
"Elder, I see that the three great calamities recently have caused chaos and injured many of my sect's disciples!"

"But... why doesn't the Sect's Jindan Peak Master personally lead people to encircle and suppress the enemy?"

This problem has been bothering Lin Chen for a long time.

Although the three robbery cultivators were quite powerful, they could be easily defeated if a Jindan stage cultivator took action.

However, the top leaders of Changchun Sect acted as if they saw nothing and called on their foundation-building disciples to take action.

"Good boy, you want to get such crucial information from me just for a box of tea?"

Elder Liu glanced at Lin Chen indifferently.

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I still have two bottles of hundred-year-old wine. I'll send them to the elders in a few days..."

After hearing this, Elder Liu was willing to speak.

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he sent a message to Lin Chen:

“Lin Chen, this is a matter for the higher-ups… The situation in Yanlai is far from as simple as you think.”

"According to the news from other righteous sects, the Beast Taming Sect is unable to withstand the pressure. At that time, the four demon sects may join forces to attack our Yanlai territory!"

Lin Chen was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

The Lingshou Sect is a sect that is no less powerful than the Changchun Sect, yet they can’t withstand the pressure?
But it makes sense, the Spirit Beast Sect is not facing a half-baked demon sect like the Wild Wolf Sect.

It's the Puppet Hall! It's a demonic sect that has existed for a thousand years...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen also transmitted his voice:
"But Elder Liu, if this is the case, shouldn't the sect destroy the Wild Wolf Sect as soon as possible and free up its hands to help the Spirit Beast Sect?"

After hearing this, Elder Liu shook his head slightly and said:

"Silly child, you think too little. The twists and turns between the sects are not as simple as you think..."

"Besides, we at Changchun Sect don't dare to get too deeply involved. We are all waiting for the order from above!"

"If the higher-ups don't make a statement, we can just protect ourselves..."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this.

The above statement?
In Qingzhou, whether it is the Changchun Sect, the Lingshou Sect or the Tiandan Sect, they can only be regarded as core forces.

In the entire Qingzhou, there is only one giant force - the Wendao Sect!

Dozens of Jindan sects, including Changchun Sect, are nominally under the jurisdiction of Wendao Sect.

It’s just that the Dao Sect is tens of thousands of miles away from Changchun Gate, so they don’t usually ask about other matters.

"So, has the battle between good and evil reached this level?"

Lin Chen's heart was slightly shaken, and he wanted to continue asking.

But Elder Liu remained silent, obviously unwilling to reveal more.

Then he changed the subject and said:

"Elder, let's talk about the three robbers first. Do you have any detailed information about them?"

After hearing this, Elder Liu looked up at him and advised:

“Xiao Chen, you have great talent but you have only been practicing for a short time… Although you have already established your foundation, these three Tribulation Cultivators are not easy to mess with.”

Halfway through his words, he noticed Lin Chen's cultivation aura again.

"Hey, you've broken through to the middle stage of foundation building? No wonder you're planning to attack those three robbery cultivators..."

After thinking for a moment, Elder Liu pointed to a place of robbery cultivation force two thousand miles away from Changchun Mountain and said:

"You don't have to worry about the other two paths. They are both guarded by late Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Only this group of robbery cultivators is led by a sixth-level foundation-building cultivator, and has five early-stage foundation-building cultivators under him... The number of robbery cultivators in the mountain village is estimated to be no more than 200."

"Of course, if you go alone, you will die... I suggest you go with the other sects' foundation-building disciples, right?"

As he spoke, Elder Liu pointed outside the hall.

More than a dozen foundation-building disciples were rushing towards them, also wanting to take on the mission.

Lin Chen looked carefully and found that there were several people in this group of foundation-building disciples that he was very familiar with.

Brothers Li Zhenqian, Li Fengping... and Senior Brother Nie who had worked with Lin Chen before, have now also been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Li Zhenqian walked into the sect's main hall with great arrogance and said:

"Elder Liu, we are here to accept the sect's mission. We want to kill all the robbers along the way..."

As he spoke, Li Zhenqian showed off his own skills, with a hint of pride on his face.

Build three floors of foundation.

Elder Liu couldn't stand Li Zhenqian's ostentatious character, so he pointed at Lin Chen and said:
"It just so happens that Lin Chen also wants to wipe out the robbery forces. He has already entered the middle stage of foundation building...why don't you go with him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, these foundation-building disciples all showed joy on their faces.

It is not easy to deal with those three robbery cultivators. If there is one more cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, it will be more of a guarantee.

Only Li Zhenqian looked at Lin Chen with a dull expression.

"why why……"
