Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 248: Revisiting the old place and climbing the steps again
"I am old and my life span is coming to an end. I no longer have the desire to travel."

"Why not end my life in this beautiful Changchun Mountain..."

The old man who was building the foundation had a calm expression, as if he had already thought about the future.

Lin Chen nodded, "Fellow Daoist, you are so noble and upright, I admire you very much."

After buying some pills from the medicine shop, Lin Chen left and went to another shop in the market.

This shop is located in a remote area and few monks come to patronize it.

There is a locust tree planted in front of the store. The shade of the tree covers the store, and no light can be seen, which makes the store even more eerie.

The light inside the store was also dim.

Lin Chen didn't stay on the first floor for long and went straight to the second floor.

Soon, he saw a woman practicing in a dark corner on the second floor.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw Lin Chen.

"Master? You are finally here!"

That’s right, this woman was Yu Gui, who was originally placed in Changchun Mountain Market by Lin Chen to be used as a transit trading resource.

Now that all his transactions within Yanlai have been cancelled, it is time for Yugui to go somewhere else.

After not seeing each other for several years, Yu Gui's practice has made further progress.

Jade Gui is a natural ghost cultivator with excellent aptitude, and he has never lacked resources for cultivation.

In the previous battle, he devoured many residual souls, and now the Jade Ghost is comparable to a ninth-level Jindan cultivator.

The speed of cultivation is quite fast.

Lin Chen nodded and said to Yu Gui:
"Well, it's time to go back..."

When Yu Gui heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face.

In the past few years, she has been terrified. The power of the Underworld is growing stronger and the Yanlai Territory is about to collapse.

In this situation, Yu Gui just wanted to escape from this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Chen hadn't returned, the Jade Ghost would have escaped long ago.

Lin Chen planned a retreat for Yu Gui and asked her to follow him to Wendao City.

After all, he is a ghost cultivator comparable to the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. If he can go one step further and achieve the Yuanming realm in the future, it will be a great help.

After taking the Jade Ghost away, Lin Chen was not in a hurry to climb Changchun Mountain.

Instead, he went to Lin’s Xiaoxuan first.

The layout of Lin's Xiaoxuan is not much different from when Lin Chen left a few years ago.

The elixirs and ornaments in the shop are still there, just covered with a layer of dust.

It looks like no one has taken care of it for a long time.

“Huang Xin…”

Lin Chen was silent for a moment. Could it be that Huang Xin had also encountered an accident after not seeing him for several years?
When they left Changchun Gate, time was urgent. Moreover, the journey was more than 200,000 miles, and Huang Xin's cultivation was still low, so Lin Chen could not take him with him.

"Well, I hope nothing unexpected happened?"

Lin Chen still has some feelings for Huang Xin, and the two can be considered friends.

After searching around in the Lin's pavilion, Lin Chen suddenly found a piece of letter in the corner.

With a slight movement in his heart, Lin Chen picked up the letter.

There was only one line of words written on the cover of the letter.

Written personally by Senior Brother Lin Chen.

Lin Chen opened the envelope and read its contents.

Huang Xin's handwriting is neat and meticulous, just like everyone else.

"It has been more than three years since Senior Brother left for Wendao City. I miss him very much."

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I can't continue to complete the task assigned by Senior Brother. The Nether Country is powerful, and countless demon cultivators are constantly invading. The number of cultivators in the market is decreasing."

"The Grandmaster dismissed a group of disciples some time ago, and I was among them."

“Although I want to stay in the market and continue to grow spiritual herbs for my brother, but…”

"Some time ago, Junior Brother successfully broke through to the sixth level of foundation building, and is only one step away from the late stage of foundation building."

"Although my cultivation is still shallow, I still want to follow in my footsteps."

"I heard that Senior Brother Lin is now in Dao City, and I want to go find him."

"So, I dismissed the monks in the medicine garden and the mine, paid them their wages, and buried the remaining spiritual medicines and ores in the backyard of my senior brother's shop..."

"In the storage bag, there are more than 70,000 spiritual herbs and 800,000 kilograms of ore..." "I hope that one day I will meet Brother again in the future."

After seeing the contents of the letter, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Xin did not encounter an accident, but left Changchunshan Market.

But at the same time, Lin Chen was a little worried.

Judging from the content on the letter, Huang Xin had been away from the market for more than two years.

He was just a foundation-building cultivator. It was too difficult for him to go to the Dao City. The road was extremely bumpy and he was afraid that he would be in danger...

"Hey, Junior Brother Huang..."

Lin Chen sighed and came to the place where Huang Xin said the storage bag was hidden.

Sure enough, several storage bags were found, which had been buried for some years.

Lin Chen counted the spiritual medicines and minerals in the storage bag, and found that they were exactly the same as Huang Xin said.

"These resources are probably all that Huang Xin has obtained in the past few years... This foolish junior brother didn't even leave some for himself."

Lin Chen sighed and felt a little touched.

Although Huang Xin has good aptitude, his character is unmatched among all the cultivators Lin Chen has seen.

He is diligent, responsible, trustworthy and has a heart that seeks the truth.

It can be said that except for his poor qualifications, Huang Xin possesses almost all the characteristics of a great monk.

But the world of cultivating immortals can be so cruel sometimes.

Although qualifications do not represent everything, without qualifications you will definitely not be able to move forward.

"In the blink of an eye, I have known Junior Brother Huang for more than 25 years. If Junior Brother Huang were still alive, he might have reached the late stage of foundation building, right?"

Lin Chen thought silently.

He put away the storage bag and took out all the items in Lin's pavilion.

Didn't stay too long.

Old places are not worth revisiting, only old friends are worth remembering.

After leaving Lin’s pavilion, Lin Chen walked to the deepest part of the market town.

Arrived at the foot of Changchun Mountain.

This square, which I visited more than 20 years ago, is now in a much more dilapidated state.

Perhaps he felt that this might be the last time he would climb the Changchun Mountain Gate.

Lin Chen did not choose to fly to the top of Changchun Mountain, but chose to walk again the road that he had not walked in the past twenty years.

Thirty thousand steps to immortality.

Ever since Lin Chen entered the late stage of Qi Refining and was able to fly with a flying device, he has never walked here again.

The narrow and steep mountain steps wind up and disappear into the clouds, making them indistinct.

Lin Chen walked forward step by step, without any sign of fatigue, but instead with more emotion in his heart.

The weeds beside the steps were so thick that they almost covered half of the steps.

It seemed that no one had cleaned the steps for many years, and moss had grown on them, making them slippery.

Lin Chen did not use any magic, but just walked up the mountain.

Even so, the pace was not slow.

Lin Chen could finish the 30,000 steps and more than 8,000 meters of mountain road in less than half an hour.

When I turned around and looked at the stairs behind me.

Lin Chen seemed to see something.

He saw himself climbing the mountain more than 20 years ago.

At that time, he was just a small martial arts apprentice and had never practiced martial arts.

It took him a lot of effort to climb the 30,000 steps to heaven.

But in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed... and everything has changed.

"Ugh……"

Lin Chen sighed and stepped to the top of Changchun Mountain.

At the same time, a slightly tired voice came to Lin Chen's ears.

"You shouldn't have come back..."
