Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 196 Returning to the Righteous Alliance, Jiang Liqian Farewell

After returning to Yanlai Realm, Lin Chen did not go to the Fog City immediately.

Instead, he went to Guangyuan Town Market and Changchun Mountain Market first.

He took back all the proceeds from the sale of elixirs and magic weapons in the past two years, and gained nearly eight million spirit stones.

At this point, the number of spirit stones in Lin Chen's hands reached its peak.

Nearly 30 million spirit stones...

Of course, most of them were obtained through exchanges in Wendao City.

After the transaction was completed, Lin Chen rushed to the Fog City without stopping.

……

The Righteous Alliance, the Foggy City.

Lin Chen used the earth escape technique and returned to the cave silently.

"If you calculate the time, from the perspective of outsiders... I have been in seclusion for almost two years."

"We have to make some noise... otherwise we might be suspected."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and the true energy and magic power in his body gathered and compressed.

It was finally suppressed to about the middle stage of the Golden Core, and suddenly exploded in all directions.

boom--

After the true essence and magic power of the middle Jindan stage exploded, a golden light flashed in the sky.

Almost all the cultivators within a radius of ten miles noticed this abnormality.

"My goodness, which senior is this...who has broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core?"

"Haha, our Changchun Sect has one more mid-stage Jindan strongman!"

"Looking from this direction...it seems to be Elder Lin?"

"Brother Lin, he has been in seclusion for two years, and there is no news at all... I didn't expect that he would break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core!"

In the foggy city, many cultivators in the foundation-building and core-forming stages were discussing the matter.

Not far from Lin Chen's cave, Han Jihai suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hahaha, a breakthrough! It's only been a few years! He actually broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core!"

"My disciple Lin Chen has the potential to become a True Lord!"

Han Jihai danced with excitement. In the past two years, he had handed countless jade slips and envelopes to Lin Chen.

He was afraid that Lin Chen's retreat would fail, and he was also worried about disturbing Lin Chen's breakthrough.

He originally planned to go and call Lin Chen in person if he didn’t come out of seclusion for two years… After all, the current situation between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect was too difficult.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen broke through to the middle stage of Golden Core in one go!

Now in the entire Changchun Sect, Lin Chen’s strength is probably ranked among the top few, far exceeding that of his master.

……

At the same time, there was a cave further away.

After Li Zhenqian felt the breath of Lin Chen's breakthrough, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, he got there first again?"

"Damn it, I will be able to enter the middle stage of Jindan in two months..."

Li Zhenqian felt rather unwilling in his heart. It was as if Lin Chen had calculated it all. Every time he made a breakthrough in realm, he was faster than him.

"No, I must not be trying hard enough!"

"I am an eighth-level golden elixir, and my roots are not as good as his... I must work harder!"

A look of determination flashed in Li Zhenqian's eyes.

……

A few miles away, in another quiet and cool cave.

Jiang Liqian, who was practicing, looked up at Lin Chen not far away, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Actually, he has just broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core?"

“The Soul Devouring Root… is really a waste in this small place!”

After a pause, Jiang Liqian looked into the distance.

"I have already acquired the third level of Golden Yuan Gong, and I am not far from the realm of a true person..."

“I originally thought that this small place called Yanlai Realm was relatively peaceful… but now it seems that if war is not stopped, it will be in chaos.”

"It seems like it's time to leave here..."

……

Lin Chen slowly restrained his breath and then left the cave.

When I walked out of the cave, I found a lot of jade slips and envelopes piled in the yard.

Most of the time, it was Master Han Jihai asking whether his retreat was going well.

There is also the concern of the senior sister and several fellow apprentices...

Even the brothers Li Zhenqian and Li Fengping sent several letters inviting us to a small gathering after we were released from isolation.

Lin Chen looked at the jade slips in front of him and felt quite moved.

"Alas, although Wendao City is great, it lacks those people who truly care about me..."

Lin Chen silently put away the envelopes, then turned into a stream of light and walked towards his master Han Jihai.

First, I paid a visit to my master and several senior brothers and sisters.

Lin Chen went to have a small gathering with a few fellow Taoists in the sect with whom he had a good relationship.

Li Fengping hurried over after receiving the news that Lin Chen had come out of confinement.

"Brother Lin, congratulations on your successful breakthrough!"

"Brother Li, you are too polite. It was just a lucky breakthrough." Lin Chen bowed.

Li Fengping was as polite as ever, and Lin Chen was also modest.

"Senior Brother Lin, since you have come out of retreat, why don't you have a small gathering with us fellow disciples?" Li Fengping invited.

After hearing this, Lin Chen thought about it and nodded in agreement. "Brother Li, when do you think a suitable date is?"

"Haha, today is the best day! Why not come to my cave tonight and invite three or five friends... just a small gathering."

……

That evening, after Lin Chen finished his chores, he went to Li Fengping's cave.

In addition to Lin Chen, Li Zhenqian, Ao Shixiang, Qi Changwei and others also came.

There are more than ten people in total.

Lin Chen sat in a corner, silently observing his fellow disciples, occasionally drinking a few sips of wine and chatting. But even if Lin Chen didn't want to take the limelight, the cultivators present were still vaguely centered around him.

"Senior Brother Lin, this is Junior Brother Qi... Actually, he is at the same level as you."

"During the two years that Senior Brother was in seclusion, Junior Brother Qi was also successfully promoted to a Golden Core cultivator..."

Li Fengping pointed at a dull man and introduced him.

Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this, and drank a glass of wine with Qi Changwei across the table.

He had some impression of Qi Changwei, who was the first person to be admitted among that class of disciples.

He has the qualifications of dual spiritual roots and became a disciple of Qifeng.

"In just seventeen years, Junior Brother Qi has been promoted to the Golden Core stage... It seems that he has some luck." Lin Chen thought silently in his heart, but did not pay too much attention to it.

There is also Ao Shixiang, who was the disciple who performed the Earth Dragon Elephant Trapping Formation in the sect competition that year, and he also went with Lin Chen to suppress the bandits.

Although his aptitude is only considered superior, he is diligent and good at scheming formations, and has accumulated a lot of experience, eventually breaking into the Golden Core Stage.

Apart from these two, the rest of the cultivators who gathered were also in the Jindan stage.

Lin Chen had met some of them once or twice and could remember their names.

But most of them are strangers and there is no communication.

After three rounds of drinking, all the Jindan cultivators present were a little drunk.

Monks can get drunk, but they can use their true energy to force out the alcohol and sober up instantly.

But sometimes people get drunk even without drinking, and monks often like the feeling of being drunk.

After Lin Chen came to the world of immortal cultivation, he developed the "bad habit" of drinking.

At this time, Li Fengping sighed:
"Alas, more than ten years have passed in a flash. My senior brother is gone, and my master is gone too..."

"That Demon Sect is so hateful! Now the entire northern border of the Mist Country is in ruins!"

After hearing this, the surrounding Jindan cultivators immediately echoed it.

"Yes! That demon sect has tried to attack us several times..."

“Hehe, but how can they get in? Even I don’t know how to avoid the fog outside the city... We can only leave under the guidance of the sect master and others!”

"Although they can't get in, they are still annoying us outside the fog! Last month... a Jindan senior brother from Qifeng died tragically at the hands of the Demon Sect!"

At this point, the air became quiet.

Lin Chen noticed that several cultivators looked at Qi Changwei.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Junior Brother Qi is going to become the deputy leader of Qi Peak?" Li Fengping asked tentatively.

Qi Changwei nodded when he heard this, and after taking a sip of wine, his face became even redder.

"Ah, how could it be my turn?"

"But the old peak master was killed ten years ago, and the new peak master also died in the battle of Xinliang City a few years ago..."

"Now, even my senior brother is dead... We are running out of talent at Qi Peak. I'm afraid we will be ranked last among the four peaks."

After hearing this, the fellow disciples around him nodded slightly.

Indeed, Dan Peak was originally the weakest among the four peaks.

But now, although there are still only a few disciples in Danfeng, each of them is elite.

Including Lin Chen, there are a total of four Jindan cultivators in Danfeng.

Even the youngest junior brother had reached the late stage of foundation building a few days ago and was preparing for the formation of the elixir...

"Haha, let's not talk about those unhappy things! After Brother Qi becomes the master of Qifeng, you have to sell our magic weapons at a lower price!"

Li Fengping toasted with a smile.

Qi Changwei nodded slightly, drank the wine and said: "Alas, my cultivation is still shallow, how can I be worthy of it? I will need the help of several brothers in the future..."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"Haha, drink, drink!"

After several exchanges, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became lively.

Li Zhenqian also sat in the corner, looking at Lin Chen silently.

Among the cultivators present, he was the youngest, a few years younger than Lin Chen, and not yet thirty.

But in terms of cultivation, Li Zhenqian is second only to Lin Chen.

Seeing that Li Zhenqian had been looking at him, Lin Chen smiled and raised his glass, saying:
"Junior Brother Li, would you like to drink?"

Li Zhenqian nodded upon hearing this and clinked glasses with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had a slight smile in his eyes and sighed in his heart:
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Li Zhenqian has really improved a lot. At least he is much more stable than before."

"It seems that the battlefield has a great impact on one's state of mind."

Lin Chen thought silently.

Speaking of Li Zhenqian's path of cultivation, it really looks like a protagonist's template.

Born into a family of immortal cultivators, he came to Changchun Gate in search of immortality when he was young.

After practicing hard all the way, his senior brother and master died one after another...

It's quite miserable.

But with the help of Lin Chen, the "noble man", danger can often be avoided.

Now, Li Zhenqian, who is nearly 30 years old, has lost his childishness and his face has become more mature.

Just as Lin Chen was sighing, Li Zhenqian suddenly said:

"Lin Chen, I know you have broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, but I am almost there too! I will not lose to you!"

Lin Chen: "..."

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything, this guy is still the same..." Lin Chen complained silently in his heart.

……

Everyone drank for another hour or so, and when it was almost time to leave, a figure suddenly appeared outside the cave.

It’s Jiang Liqian.

After seeing Jiang Liqian, Li Fengping quickly stood up and said:
"Junior Sister Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I came to see Senior Brother Lin for something..."

After hearing this, the people around were envious again.

Jiang Liqian is a genius in Changchun Sect who is no less talented than Lin Chen.

I heard that she had entered the Jindan stage a few years ago, but she was even more low-key than Lin Chen, so there was rarely any news about her.

Jiang Liqian called Lin Chen to the outside of the cave and said to him:

"I'm leaving Changchun Gate..."
