Chapter 149: Revealing His Jindan Cultivation, Alarming Changchun Sect (6k)
Han Jihai put down the medicinal materials in his hand and looked around at Zhou Tieshan.
After seeing Zhou Tieshan's honest and honest appearance, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to be thinking of the child he saved from Jie Xiu more than thirty years ago.
"Are you Zhou Tieshan?" Han Jihai asked softly.
Zhou Tieshan nodded, looking at Han Jihai with some curiosity and worry.
He was afraid that if he wasn't selected by Han Jihai, he wouldn't be able to be Lin Chen's junior brother.
"Don't be nervous, kid, just sit down first!"
Han Jihai pointed to the wooden chair beside him and poured another glass of water for Zhou Tieshan.
Then he asked: "My child, I have a few questions to ask you. Please answer them honestly."
"Yes, it's master..." Zhou Tieshan was flattered and took the water Han Jihai poured for him, not daring to drink it.
In his opinion, this was water poured for him by the immortal master himself.
Han Jihai still looked easy-going and asked:
"Child, what do you think of Jie Xiu?"
After hearing this question, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
He sighed in his heart, it seemed that the master had not yet gotten over the death of his second senior brother.
After hearing this, Zhou Tieshan replied without thinking:
"Jie Xiu, you all deserve to die!"
After hearing this, Han Jihai trembled.
In my mind, that figure becomes clearer and clearer...
He looked at Zhou Tieshan in front of him and was silent for a long time.
Lin Chen sighed. When Zhou Tieshan said these words, his chances of being accepted as a disciple by Han Jihai were already slim.
After spending six or seven years together, Lin Chen had a very good understanding of Han Jihai's thoughts.
The second senior brother Cen Wushan was rescued by his master from Jie Xiu, but his parents died at the hands of Jie Xiu.
Therefore, Cen Wushan hated evil and hated Jiexiu the most in his life.
But Cen Wushan’s death was also caused by Jiexiu...
Therefore, the master once said that the second senior brother is easy to break, and he does not want to accept such a disciple again...
But now Zhou Tieshan's answer is too similar to that of the second senior brother. The master may not have the heart to accept such a disciple again.
However, Zhou Tieshan was also rescued by Lin Chen from Jie Xiu seven years ago.
At that time, the entire Zhoucun was facing the situation of being massacred.
After the same encounter, Zhou Tieshan's hatred for Jie Xiu was inevitable.
Lin Chen's mind was racing, thinking about how to persuade his master.
At this time, Han Jihai had already asked his second question.
"If so, you encounter a group of robbers with similar strength to you who are robbing villages. Will you choose to risk your life to eliminate harm for the people?"
"No, I will run far away and kill them again when I am stronger."
"But what about the dead villagers?"
"I will take revenge on them!"
Zhou Tieshan said it was natural.
Han Jihai's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Lin Chen also felt a little moved in his heart. Zhou Tieshan's answer was interesting!
"Shan! Let me ask you another question. If you encounter a group of tribulation cultivators who are not as powerful as you and are killing mortals, what will you do?" Han Jihai asked.
After hearing this, Zhou Tieshan scratched his head and said:
"I will hide in the dark and first determine whether these tribulation cultivators are not as strong as me and whether they have hidden masters... If they are really inferior to me and I can easily kill them, I will choose to take action."
After hearing Zhou Tieshan's answer, Han Jihai's body trembled slightly.
Looking at Zhou Tieshan's young face, his eyes suddenly turned red.
He murmured silently:
"Wu Shan, if you had chosen to do this back then... maybe I wouldn't have lost you as my teacher..."
Lin Chen listened to Zhou Tieshan's answer and looked at Han Jihai's expression, and there were only two words in his mind.
"Stable!"
As expected, Han Jihai asked again:
"Tieshan, do you like farming and raising spirits?"
Zhou Tieshan nodded and said: "I know how to farm. I helped my parents farm when I was ten years old! My old cow obeys me the most..."
With that said, Zhou Tieshan took off the baggage on his back and spread it out. There were some fruits and vegetables inside.
"Two immortals, these are the fruits and vegetables I grew myself. Try them, they are so sweet!"
Han Jihai and Lin Chen took the fruits and vegetables and took a bite. They were indeed very sweet.
At this time, Han Jihai finally said:
"Silly boy, you still call me Immortal? You call me Master!"
"The person next to you should be called Fourth Senior Brother..."
After hearing this, Zhou Tieshan immediately knelt on the ground.
Shouted: "Master, senior brother!"
Han Jihai looked at Zhou Tieshan in front of him and was very pleased.
After accepting Lin Chen as a disciple, especially after Cen Wushan's death, he no longer had any intention of accepting a disciple.
However, the child in front of him looks so much like his second apprentice...
The same loyalty, hatred of evil, and uprightness...
The difference is that Tieshan knows how to protect himself.
Maybe, this time it will be different?
Thinking of this, Han Jihai smiled and said:
"Okay, good apprentice! I will start teaching you the art of refining qi tomorrow..."
"Counting the time, your senior sister and third senior brother should be back soon. From now on, you should interact less with them and learn more from your fourth senior brother..."
"Haha~"
Han Jihai smiled proudly, with tears flashing in his eyes.
…
The next day, senior sister Mi Keer and third senior brother Jing Xiao'a both rushed back.
Seeing the additional junior brother in front of them, Mi Keer and Jing Xiaoa were stunned.
"Master, you are seeing new buds blooming on an old tree..."
Bang! Bang!
"What are you talking about? This is your junior brother, Zhou Tieshan!" Han Jihai punched Mi Ke'er and Jing Xiao'a hard with two punches.
"Come, Tieshan... meet your senior sister and third brother!" Han Jihai said with a hint of meaning.
Zhou Tieshan stepped forward and said obediently after hearing this:
"Meet senior sister and third brother..."
"Haha, no problem!"
"Senior sister (senior brother) gives you a gift..."
As she said this, the senior sister took out a small gourd and said reluctantly:
"Junior brother, this is the tequila that I finally got. Drinking a sip will benefit your cultivation... so I'll give you a pot..."
After hearing this, Han Jihai widened his eyes and said:
"You are so good, Mi Ke'er! My tequila... really was brewed into wine by you!"
Han Jihai pretended to enforce the family law, and Mi Ke'er was so scared that she quickly called out the red jade gourd and flew far away.
"Master, junior brothers... Senior sister won't be back tonight!"
After saying this, Mi Ke'er flew towards the market at the foot of the mountain, and it was estimated that she didn't know which wine shop she would sneak to drink again.
Jing Xiao'a thought for a moment, took out a sieve and said:
"Ahem, Junior Brother...Third Senior Brother has no other skills, but he is good at gambling..."
"Look at this pair of dice, it is specially made, as long as you use spiritual energy to drive it, you can change the points of the dice at will."
Jing Xiao'a demonstrated it several times.
Zhou Tieshan was silent for a while after seeing it, and then said weakly:
"Senior Brother, this is not gambling, it is a trick..."
Bang!
Jing Xiao'a was kicked by Han Jihai and was kicked far away.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao'a hurriedly said:
"Master, I haven't been back for more than a year. A friend at the foot of the mountain asked me to go out and play...I won't be back tonight!"
As he said that, Jing Xiao'a also hurriedly flew to the market at the foot of the mountain, guessing which gambling house he had entered.
At this time, Lin Chen was quite helpless, and took out another foundation-building pill and said:
"Ahem, Junior Brother... This perfect foundation-building pill..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Jihai was stunned, looking at the pill in Lin Chen's hand, and questioned:
"Good boy, where did you get the perfect foundation-building pill?"
Lin Chen was silent for a moment, and said: "I picked it up from the ruins."
"Stinky boy, where did you find this thing from the ruins... You take it to the master!"
Lin Chen was unwilling to say more, and stuffed the perfect foundation-building pill into Zhou Tieshan's hands.
"Junior Brother, you practice well and strive to build your foundation as soon as possible!"
"Master, my shop at the foot of the mountain is about to open... I won't be back tonight!"
As he said, Lin Chen summoned the purple jade gourd and hurried down the mountain...
Zhou Tieshan blinked and looked at the backs of the three senior brothers and sisters going away.
He glanced at the master in front of him again, and murmured in his heart:
"Why is this cultivation... not quite what I thought?"
Han Jihai sighed and said:
"Alas, youngest! Don't learn from your senior brothers and sisters!"
"The future of our Danfeng lineage depends on you... Come, let me teach you the method of drawing qi first..."
Han Jihai felt that he was blind. He took in these apprentices and was worried about them.
Zhou Tieshan nodded ignorantly, and the seed of the old six in his heart that had been passed down from generation to generation quietly sprouted.
...
In a blink of an eye, twenty days passed.
Lin Chen has been practicing peacefully in Changchun Mountain Market during this period.
After the deduction of Tianyanzhu, the Changqing Jue that Lin Chen practiced was upgraded to a higher level.
There is an additional method of the Yuanying Chapter, which can be practiced to the perfection of the Yuanying.
In the past twenty days, Lin Chen's practice progress has also been very gratifying.
The Changqing Jue has been successfully practiced to the middle stage of the first level of the Jindan Chapter, corresponding to the cultivation level of the first turn of the Jindan middle stage.
Until this day, Lin Chen estimated that the Guangyuan Town auction was about to begin.
So he released the puppet to cover up his tracks, and the real body went to Guangyuan Town.
Disguised as Master Wu Leizi, Lin Chen entered the auction box.
Because of the huge success of the previous auction, more families came to participate in the auction this time.
Almost all the foundation-building forces in the entire Yanlai territory sent people to participate.
Even Changchunmen sent two elders to take a look.
Even those forces with insufficient financial resources wanted to see the style of the Jinyuan Pill.
So many foundation-building cultivators came that the second-floor box could not accommodate them, and they could only sit on the first floor.
In the end, the price of this Jinyuan Pill also reached a new high, reaching 150,000 spirit stones.
It was finally auctioned by the head of the Meng family.
After the auction, those foundation-building forces with insufficient financial resources regretted it very much.
Unexpectedly, President Liu went up to the auction platform and said:
"Ahem, fellow Taoists! To be honest, the popularity of this Jinyuan Pill has exceeded my expectations."
"Thank you very much for your active participation this time... I have applied to the headquarters, hoping that there will be another mid-grade Jinyuan Pill in the next auction..."
President Liu said ambiguously.
It seems that there will be Jinyuan Pills in the next auction, but it is not certain yet.
Those foundation-building forces that did not get the Jinyuan Pill have rekindled their hopes.
But some smart people have also discovered clues.
Looking at President Liu's routine, it seems that there are still many Jinyuan Pills...
Lin Chen sat in the box and laughed at President Liu's operation.
"As expected of a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the principle of hunger marketing is self-taught..."
After the auction, Lin Chen earned more than 200,000 spirit stones.
After handing over the Jinyuan Pills needed for the next auction to President Liu, Lin Chen stayed in Guangyuan Town for a few days.
A few days later, the patriarch of the Meng family successfully formed the elixir.
So far, the Meng family has become the fourth Jindan force in Yanlai...
"Yes, the strength of the Righteous Alliance is getting stronger and stronger!"
"Of the four major families in Yanlai City, the Xiao family and the Meng family have successively promoted to Jindan forces... The Li family should not be far behind."
Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.
Before, Li Zhenqian got a top-grade Jinyuan Pill from him.
But Li Zhenqian is still young after all, and his accumulation is a little insufficient, but it is estimated that the breakthrough to Jindan will be in the next few months.
"Besides, Li Zhenqian should have a medium-grade Jinyuan Pill in his hand, which was obtained from the ruins of Jinyuan Sect..."
"Maybe, the old guy Li Dongkun has already secretly promoted to Jindan..."
Lin Chen touched his chin and kept thinking in his heart.
Whether it is the four major families, the royal family of Yanlai, or even other forces in Yanlai.
They all naturally belong to the camp of the Righteous Alliance. The more Jindan cultivators there are, the stronger the Righteous Alliance will be, and it will gradually gain the upper hand when fighting against the Demon Sect.
This is also the situation that Lin Chen hopes to see.
"But it's not enough... Just a few more Jindan cultivators can't reverse the disadvantage of the Righteous Alliance."
Lin Chen murmured.
But he was not in a hurry, anyway, he still had more than a hundred Jinyuan Pills in his hand.
Auctioning one per month can maximize the benefits, and it will not slow down the overall strength of Yanlai Realm.
At this rate of progress, perhaps in a few years, the strength of the Righteous Alliance will be able to completely crush the Demon Sect.
...
In a blink of an eye, another three months passed.
On this day, Lin Chen closed the Lin family's small pavilion and prepared to break through in the training room on the second floor.
As thousands of spirit stones around him turned into powder, the true essence in Lin Chen's dantian finally reached a certain limit and could not accommodate any more.
So, Lin Chen operated the Changchun Jue to further compress the true essence in the dantian, and finally incorporated it into the golden pill.
As the true essence continued to absorb and compress, the original illusory white gas around the golden pill turned into two.
Two white gas means two transformations of the golden pill!
Boom!
With the completion of the condensation of the second-turn golden elixir, Lin Chen's Dantian can accommodate more true essence and mana, and it is also more refined.
He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his lips.
"The golden elixir has nine turns in total. Every additional turn is a compression and condensation of the true essence..."
"The true essence in my body is about 30% stronger, which is not much worse than the ordinary eight-turn golden elixir!"
The improvement of strength made Lin Chen feel more secure.
"Calculating the time, it's almost time to show the cultivation of the golden elixir..."
Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.
When he came out of the ruins half a year ago, he had already shown the perfect cultivation of the foundation building.
After half a year, it is reasonable to break through the Jindan stage.
Mi Ke'er also broke through to the Jindan stage two months ago. With the help of the perfect Jinyuan Dan, she condensed a seventh-grade golden elixir, which was beyond expectations.
"But then again, from the time I started cultivating immortals to the time I broke through the Jindan stage, from the outside world's perspective, it took me less than eight years..."
"This speed is really quite fast."
Lin Chen thought silently.
Although he has tried very hard to hide his cultivation, if it weren't for the two and a half years he spent practicing the three-turn Jinyuan Gong before.
Now he is probably in the middle stage of the Jindan.
"However, in the current situation, I have to show my Jindan cultivation..."
As the battle between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect escalates, Lin Chen needs to show a higher level of cultivation to facilitate his actions.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen activated the formation in the training room.
Activate the Devouring Spirit Root...
Boom!
In an instant, the spiritual energy around the entire Changchun Mountain Market surged wildly.
A golden light shot up into the sky.
The spiritual energy rushed towards the Lin family's small pavilion frantically, almost draining the spiritual energy within a few miles.
Such a huge movement also attracted the attention of the major cultivators in the Changchun Mountain Market.
"Hiss... This fluctuation, there is a cultivator preparing to form a Dan!?"
"In that direction, it seems to be Boss Lin from Lin's Xiaoxuan..."
"My goodness, how old is Boss Lin, and he is about to form a Dan?"
For a moment, all the casual cultivators in Changchun Mountain Market looked over.
And Lin Chen's breakthrough also attracted the attention of the elders and peak masters on Changchun Mountain.
"Hey, this fluctuation! We will have another Jindan cultivator in Changchun Mountain."
"Who is going to break through to Jindan?"
"It seems to be Lin Chen from Danfeng... My goodness, he just joined our Changchun Sect last term, right? Is he going to break through to Jindan?"
"Hiss, if I remember correctly, this boy should have dual spiritual roots, right? Can dual spiritual roots have such a fast cultivation speed?"
At this time, more than ten elders from the three peaks came to the sect hall at the same time.
Looking at the fluctuation of cultivation in Changchun Mountain Market...
Swish!
A figure appeared in the sect hall.
The other elders were shocked when they saw this, and they quickly saluted and said, "Master!"
Wang Changchun nodded, and his eyes penetrated the void, observing Lin Chen at the foot of the mountain.
"I remember that when Lin Chen tested his spiritual roots... he had both earth and wood spiritual roots, right?"
"But his two spiritual root light pillars seem to be the same height?"
Wang Changchun asked in a deep voice.
After hearing this, one of the elders came forward. He was the elder who tested Lin Chen's spiritual roots.
He nodded and said:
"That's right, Elder Lin Chen's spiritual roots are very special...I remember that his two spiritual root light pillars were almost ten feet high."
"They are all close to the quality of true spiritual roots."
After hearing this, Wang Changchun pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"Then you can't go wrong!"
"Elder Lin Chen should not have the dual spiritual roots of earth and wood...but the rumored supernatural spiritual roots!"
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that our Changchun sect would be so lucky to receive a strange spiritual root as a disciple..."
After hearing this, some of the elders around them looked puzzled. They had never heard of strange spiritual roots.
But several peak masters at the Golden Core stage had heard about it, and their faces showed surprise.
"It turns out to be a supernatural root! No wonder he has cultivated so quickly over the years..."
"I heard that foreign spiritual roots are rarer than heavenly spiritual roots! This kid... really has a lot of experience!"
For a time, all the elders in the entire sect hall were amazed.
Sect leader Wang Changchun glanced at the beam of light at the foot of the mountain, nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, this guy succeeded in forming a pill!"
"And looking at the movement of this elixir... at least it's a top-grade golden elixir!"
Lin Chen's forged pill-forming movement was actually the cultivation level of releasing a round of pill-forming.
Because breaking through the alchemy stage will not cause a catastrophe, it is easy to fake.
"This Lin Chen is really unexpected!"
Wang Changchun sighed in admiration and was in a good mood.
Although the war between good and evil continues, the Righteous Alliance is at a disadvantage.
But it seems that even God is looking after the right path.
Wan Xun broke through the golden elixir before, and then Danfeng's senior sister also broke through the golden elixir.
Now Lin Chen appears again, condensing high-grade golden elixir...
In just one year, the strength of Changchun Sect has almost doubled!
"Tianxing, our Changchun sect, I heard that Li Zhenqian, that kid, is also going to break through the core formation?"
Wang Changchun touched his chin and muttered.
"After Lin Chen's breakthrough is completed, call him to my residence."
Wang Changchun gave an order, and then the figure disappeared from the place.
At the same time, Danfeng.
Han Jihai, who was taking care of the medicine garden, raised his head and looked under the Danfeng.
That familiar aura, the spiritual energy fluctuation that breaks through the core formation...
A smile appeared on Han Jihai's face and he muttered:
"Good boy, are you ready to form a pill now?"
"My dear, is it possible that the true Lord of God Transformation is really the reincarnation?"
Jianfeng, a secluded courtyard somewhere.
Jiang Liqian, who was practicing, opened her eyes and felt the fluctuations at the foot of the mountain.
"Have you finally formed the elixir? Swallowing the spirit root... this speed seems a bit slow." Jiang Liqian murmured.
…
Lin's Xiaoxuan in Shanxiafang City.
Lin Chen slowly calmed down his breath, nodded and said:
"Yes, the simulation should be very similar..."
"From today on, I am also a pill-forming monk."
With a smile on his lips, Lin Chen pushed open the door of Lin's Xiaoxuan.
But as soon as he opened the door, a group of monks gathered outside the house.
"Congratulations to Senior Lin for breaking through the core formation!"
"Boss Xiaolin, congratulations..."
Lin Chen felt a headache when he looked at the gifts in the hands of these monks.
"Fellow Taoists, Lin has something to do today... I will treat you all to a banquet tomorrow."
After saying that, Lin Chen turned into a ray of light and flew towards Changchun Mountain.
In a few breaths, Lin Chen reached Dan Peak.
At this time, Han Jihai looked at Lin Chen and said with a smile:
"Breakthrough?"
"Um."
"How many grades of golden elixir?"
"Ninth grade."
"Oh, that's it. It's not bad. It's worse than your master and me...wait a minute, which grade do you mean?"
Han Jihai suddenly reacted and looked at Lin Chen with wide eyes.
"Ninth-grade golden elixir." Lin Chen repeated it again.
This time Han Jihai heard it clearly. The beard on his chin twitched and muttered:
"My dear, ninth-grade golden elixir... I'm afraid this is the first one in the Changchun sect, right?"
"Could it be that my Danfeng is really going to rise?"
As he said that, Han Jihai was pacing in place, feeling a little confused.
He looked at Lin Chen with a somewhat sad look.
It has to be said that in just a few years, his apprentice has surpassed him...
At this moment, two elders flew over with swords and said to Lin Chen:
"Elder Lin, the sect master invites you."
After hearing this, Lin Chen glanced at Han Jihai.
Han Jihai waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I guess Lao Wang just wants to ask you how it feels to have a breakthrough, how many grades of golden elixirs you have and so on..."
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this and headed to Jianfeng.
Soon, he met Wang Changchun in the sect leader's residence.
This was the first time Lin Chen met the sect master alone since he joined the Changchun Sect.
"Sect Master!" Lin Chen cupped his hands and said.
Wang Changchun looked very easy-going, pointed at the teapot and said with a smile:
"Come, let's have a chat while drinking tea. This is the spiritual tea that Elder Liu gave me. Do you want to try it?"
Lin Chen nodded, and after taking a sip of tea, Wang Changchun got down to business.
"Lin Chen, how many years have you been coming to our Changchun Gate?"
