Chapter 16: Qi Training on the Mountain Top

The sky was pale, and the distant sea of ​​clouds emitted brilliant golden rays.

There were already a few outer disciples gathered on the top of Yunyang Peak.

It was dawn. During this time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was relatively mild, and it was easier to refine it than at other times of the day, so many outer disciples came here.

And the entire mountain range, at the node of the spiritual vein, was full of golden flowers and green stems of sunflowers.

It is said that when the day and night of heaven and earth meet, a trace of [Morning Sun Purple Qi] recorded in the classics will be born in the eastern sky. After swallowing it, it can nourish the soul, cleanse the body, and consolidate the foundation.

But the morning sun purple qi is very precious and very difficult to collect. Originally, only the cultivators in the late stage of foundation building [Purple Mansion Realm], who further condensed their spiritual perception, were able to sense and collect it.

Therefore, the monks of Qingyun Sect constantly improved the spiritual plants, combined with Feng Shui, and laid out the formation. As long as there are disciples practicing at the top of the mountain within the specified time, the formation can be activated to condense the morning glow purple air.

The condensed morning glow purple air will continuously flow into the mountain range and combine with the spiritual jade ore buried at the bottom of the mountain.

After a sufficient period of accumulation, the legendary [Purple Yang Warm Jade] can be born, which is said to help impact the soul gate of the three foundation-building gates, or assist in the breakthrough of the late foundation-building stage.

After knowing the true appearance of this mountain, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

According to the information he collected, the birth of [Purple Yang Warm Jade] not only requires a special enough location, but also requires hundreds of years of gestation to produce one.

But the sect can shorten its gestation time to only twenty years through various means.

This is simply turning an almost non-renewable resource for Qi Refining cultivators into a renewable resource that can be obtained in twenty years.

Lin Chen had to admit that the current world of immortal cultivation is indeed a society of intrigue and deception, the law of the jungle, but from another perspective, it is also a civilization that has a high degree of control and effective use of spiritual energy!

The use and control of the world's spiritual energy by the cultivators is no less than the exploration and use of matter by humans in the previous life!

"The thinking and research of the cultivators on the use of spiritual energy should not be underestimated, but the reason why science is science is that it can accommodate everything. I can also incorporate their experience into my scientific cultivation and further improve my system..."

Seeing that the time was up, Lin Chen collected his mind and began to meditate and refine his qi.

The cultivators on the top of the mountain also separated their distances and sat cross-legged one after another, practicing their qi. The field was quiet and no one said anything extra.

After all, those who can insist on getting up early every day have strong will and determination, and naturally will not waste this precious time.

The world envies the cultivators who fly swords in the world and go in and out of the blue sky, but how many people know the hardships of their ten years of hard work?

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed. It was not until the sun grew bigger and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became more active that the disciples who were meditating and practicing qi began to finish their practice one after another.

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, then slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

‘The act of selling improved magic tricks this time was reckless after all. Although I obtained a lot of immortal cultivation resources and guaranteed my own safety, the news leaked out after all. Now I think the high-level officials of Yunlai Market have noticed me...’

‘So I can’t go to Yunlai Market for at least a year, and I have to cut off the supply of talismans there. Although I have never exposed my true identity and left no traces that can be traced, it’s better to be cautious. ’

Lin Chen thought as he walked.

‘And the improved magic tricks must not be taken out before I advance to the foundation-building stage. At the same time, the means of dealing with the enemy in public is still mainly based on the spirit bullet technique. After all, this trick already exists in the Sutra Library. I just use it more flexibly, so it won't attract people's covetousness...'

No one is a saint, who can be without mistakes?

Lin Chen is less than 40 years old in both lives, and he doesn't have a God's perspective. How can he observe and grasp everything in detail? He can only be prepared for failure, so that he can save his life and learn lessons from failure.

"Junior brother!"

Suddenly, a charming voice came from behind, which made Lin Chen pause and his face stagnate.

'Huh? ! How did I meet this woman again? ! '

After hesitating for a while, Lin Chen turned around and saw a female cultivator dressed in palace clothes, talking and laughing, and walking from a distance with a follower.

She was dressed in a lavender palace dress, but her figure was perfectly outlined. In front of her were mountains and ridges, waves and raging waves, and behind her were full moons and curved like a bow. She was tall and swayed when she walked, but her manners were graceful and elegant, with a natural charm and a generous demeanor.

"It turned out to be Senior Sister Mengyun. I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence." Lin Chen immediately put on a smile and said.

"Yes, it's really a coincidence. Maybe this is the fate between us?" Xu Mengyun covered her mouth and chuckled. Her beautiful eyes kept wandering around Lin Chen, making him feel uncomfortable.

'Fate? You are an inner disciple. How come you appear in the place where outer disciples practice? Who are you trying to fool with this reason? ! ' Lin Chen's mouth twitched.

Since he met Xu Mengyun by chance while taking a bath in the stream after practicing three years ago, this senior sister has approached him in the name of caring for her junior brother, and has touched him up and down, and even met him from time to time.

But it is not his fault that he has no grace. Although Lin Chen after traveling through time cannot be said to be as handsome as Pan An, his temperament is indescribably stunning.

His eyebrows are like crescent moons, his eyes are like stars, his facial features are delicate and sunny. Although he is not a peerless handsome man, his temperament is indescribably extraordinary. Just standing there, he has a kind of elegance like a lily and a jade tree, and a smile like a bright moon in his arms.

Especially standing in the glimmer of the morning light, at a glance, it seems that she can see herself dreaming of her youth at midnight, living in the house next door, the young man who smiled and talked to her, with a sunny and bright temperament, and clear and pure eyes.

It is this unique sense of youth that makes countless senior sisters and junior sisters unable to stop, and there are many pursuers. However, because Lin Chen has always been alone, with a cold face, and his temperament is so unique, many female cultivators have ideas in their hearts, but very few have really put them into practice, and can only imagine in some special ways.

‘Well, I suddenly realized that this might also be a business opportunity…’

For some reason, Lin Chen suddenly thought of this aspect. What happened last time when he received chores inspired him. Sometimes, earning spirit stones does not necessarily require skills, but also beauty…

‘People are willing to buy the photos of celebrities in my previous life. I am more handsome in this life than the celebrities in my previous life. There is no reason why no one will buy them. At most, I can wear cooler clothes…’

Lin Chen’s thoughts are more and more diffuse. No matter which world scientific research is in, it needs resources, and he can only rely on himself to obtain them, which is very difficult. So for him, as long as he can earn spirit stones, a little face is not important at all.

Just like what was said on the Internet in the previous life, if I give you one million and let you run naked, would you be willing?

Just kidding, maybe others will consider it, but for Lin Chen, hesitating for one more second is disrespect for money!

Just when Lin Chen was thinking about it, Xu Mengyun on the side chuckled and said: "Junior brother, do you still remember the deal between us?"

Deal?

Lin Chen quickly came back to his senses, his eyes fixed, and he asked with a hint of urgency: "Could it be that Senior Sister got it..."

Then, he looked around and made sure that no one was around, so he deliberately lowered his voice and asked: "News about [Middle-grade Spirit Stone] and [Hundred-year Jadeite]?"

[Middle-grade Spirit Stone] is only circulated among the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they are not eligible to exchange for it. Although the sect has not strictly prohibited disciples from obtaining middle-grade spirit stones, it is not easy to get them.

Just like the things in the circle of rich people in the previous life, without assets and channels, it is almost difficult for people outside the circle to obtain them.

And [Hundred-year Jadeite] is even more precious, because it can save the life of a cultivator who failed to impact the foundation, and even prevent his foundation from being damaged.

These two things are very important to Lin Chen now. The former is related to his verification of the third law of spiritual energy and the spiritual energy level, and the latter involves his exploration and breakthrough experiments in the foundation building stage.

Even with his current status, it is not a simple matter to obtain these two things, so he can only seek help from external forces.

"Of course, I'm well-informed." Xu Mengyun smiled.

Then she took out a jade box, then leaned close to Lin Chen's ear and whispered: "The information about the middle-grade spirit stone and the hundred-year jade is in this box. I have helped my junior brother a lot. I wonder how my junior brother plans to repay me?"

Feeling a little itchy in his ears, Lin Chen coughed and said: "The things and information are naturally clearly marked with prices. Senior sister, how many spirit stones are there?"

"Oh? It seems that my junior brother has a lot of money?" Xu Mengyun's beautiful eyes turned and jokingly said, "Six hundred spirit stones."

"Oh, six hundred spirit stones..." Lin Chen was about to take it, but he suddenly paused and raised his voice, "Six hundred spirit stones? Senior sister, are you trying to trick me?!"

Lin Chen's eyes instantly became extremely alert. When it comes to spirit stones, he is absolutely rational!

"Junior brother, sometimes the information is worth this price. Besides, you are so handsome, do you think I am willing to cheat you?"

"Hmm..." Lin Chen felt that this sentence was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He was indeed very handsome.

Wait, what does my handsomeness have to do with you cheating me? !

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's face twitched, and then he said: "Senior sister, for the sake of our friendship for many years, can you be less?"

"Junior brother, what do you mean by that?!" Xu Mengyun said with a serious face, "I don't want our relationship to be mixed with interests!"

I don't have any feelings for you! Lin Chen was full of black lines, this is just a polite remark, okay? !

"I don't seem to have much relationship with my senior sister, right?"

"Since there is no relationship, why should I be less?"

"This..." Lin Chen was speechless.

Lin Chen only felt the surging of true energy in his body. If it weren't for the sect, he wouldn't do it. Otherwise, he must catch this woman and educate her with virtue!

"Three hundred spirit stones, that's all I have, so you can do it, Senior Sister!" Having said that, Lin Chen put the jade box back into the storage bag without hesitation.

Although it's a bit unkind to do so, it doesn't matter. In Lin Chen's opinion, cheating is the right of handsome guys!

"Deal!"

"Okay... eh?!" The other party agreed so readily that Lin Chen felt cheated.

'Did I quote too high? Otherwise, let's bargain again, but I just said that, and it would be embarrassing to bargain again, so...'

"Sister, I'm in a hurry to use the spirit stones recently, so I can't give you so many. I can only give you 200 spirit stones..."

Face is common, but money is not. Lin Chen knows which is more important!

"Of course." Xu Mengyun looked at Lin Chen with a smile in her eyes.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, gritted his teeth and continued: "This... I suddenly remembered the other day..."

"Junior brother, are you trying to get a free girlfriend?" Xu Mengyun interrupted Lin Chen, holding her arms on her chest and jokingly said.

"Ah!" Even though Lin Chen was thick-skinned, he couldn't help blushing after being pointed out in front of him.

"Hey, what are you talking about, Senior Sister? It's just that I'm really short of money recently... So, Senior Sister, can you see if you can..."

"It's okay to give it away for free." Xu Mengyun smiled gently, and then a slender jade hand touched Lin Chen's waist, "As long as Junior Brother tonight..."

Lin Chen quickly stopped the hand: "Senior Sister, please respect yourself, Junior Brother, I'm not a casual person! Besides, your few spiritual stones... Hey! I mean, I have principles in life!"

Lin Chen quickly took out two Qingyun spiritual leaves from the storage bag and handed them over, "This is two hundred spiritual stones, I hope Senior Sister will keep it!"

What a joke!

He wants him to sell himself for just two hundred spiritual stones, this is impossible!

Xu Mengyun was stunned when she saw this, and saw Lin Chen hurriedly leaving after handing over the spiritual leaves, and couldn't help but smile.

"He is not a casual person. Senior sister, I am the information dealer of the sect. I know about the romantic books you bought privately... But handsome boys who are lustful in private are also cute."

"Miss, I don't understand, are you too easy to talk to? And this middle-grade spirit stone and information are enough to sell for 500 spirit stones, why..."

After Lin Chen walked away, the maid who was responsible for serving the inner disciples couldn't help but ask.

"He is different from other disciples in the sect..." Xu Mengyun did not respond to her question, but said this.

"Uh...Miss, what you mean is that this junior brother Lin has more potential than others, so invest in advance?" The maid next to her was a little confused.

"No, what I mean is that I don't lack these spirit stones, and this little junior brother is handsome and has temperament, so I am happy to pamper him."
