I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 147 - 113: Celestial Demon Battle Armor Reveals Its Power Again, Killing Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment Is as Easy as Eating and Drinking!
Lin Chen watched impassively as the constable cleaned up the bloody mess on the ground.
They also took away the human skin to investigate the identity of the deceased.
On that human skin, he sensed a faint trace of magical power.
It was very subtle, but Lin Chen was certain it was the work of an evil cultivator.
However, the question was, even evil cultivators usually wouldn’t commit indiscriminate slaughter or massacre mortals.
The reason lies in the concept of karmic force!
Those who bring disaster upon themselves deepen their karmic force.
For minor offenses, their journey on the path may be obstructed, or their cultivation hindered. For major ones, they might die from heavenly retribution and not enter the cycle of reincarnation!
Cultivators especially avoid karmic force and causality at all costs.
But according to that fortune-teller’s words,
this skin-peeling anomaly has been happening in Jade Belt City for over a year...
Such a long time causing trouble among mortals cannot simply be a desire for killing pleasure.
"So, is it for a dark sacrificial magical treasure? Or to cultivate a certain technique?"
After pondering, Lin Chen slightly shook his head.
"This evil cultivator dares to brazenly perform blood sacrifices, they probably aren’t weak..."
"For now, it’s best not to provoke them easily, handling the other two tribulation cultivators first is the best..."
...
At dawn the next day, with the countdown reset, Lin Chen returned to Blue Star.
As usual, after reporting the intelligence and resources obtained this time, Lin Chen stayed in the Martial Arts Palace for a few days for stable cultivation.
During this period, he asked Wang Lishan to forge a certificate of excellence from Kyoto Martial Arts University and sent a photo of it to his uncle Lin Jianhe.
In fact, it wasn’t entirely forged because the certificate existed both on the official website and in the archives.
The only false aspect was that Lin Chen never attended Martial Arts University...
A week of continuous cultivation deepened Lin Chen’s cultivation slightly.
After the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment, the daily consumption of spirit stones for cultivation was nearly a hundred.
Let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators, even Core Formation cultivators don’t spend this much.
But fortunately, amid this enormous expense, Lin Chen’s cultivation progress was gratifying.
Apart from smooth cultivation, Lin Chen’s progress along the Martial Path was also steadily improving.
However, there was still a gap to reach Martial Spirit.
Until the moment before he was about to traverse again to the Cultivation Realm, he went to the Martial Arts Palace to retrieve a new batch of equipment and plans provided by the advisory group.
Wang Lishan first handed over a newly made Five Thunders, saying:
"Lin Chen, this Five Thunders has been specially processed, with a nano-level controller installed. It’s the latest technology from Mo Country."
"As long as you activate the switch, all Five Thunders within a kilometer radius that receive the signal will be deactivated."
"Take a look, should we mass-produce this style of Five Thunders?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen pondered for a moment.
He understood Wang Lishan’s intention. During the recent encounter at Jade Belt Mountain, the enemy actually used weapons and magical treasures Lin Chen sold.
Although they posed no threat, having preemptive countermeasures is certainly safer.
But the issue is that tampering with the Five Thunders could be easily detected!
"Uncle Wang, roughly what level of Divine Sense can detect the tampering on these Five Thunders?" Lin Chen inquired.
Wang Lishan thought for a moment and said, "Below the Core Formation Stage, it should be hard to discover... but above Core Formation, it’s hard to say."
Hearing this, Lin Chen weighed his options again.
Given his current strength, such a level of Five Thunders posed virtually no threat.
But if the tampering in the Five Thunders is discovered, it would be a significant blow to both his reputation as a Five Thunders master and that of the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect."
After thinking it over, Lin Chen finally said:
"Here’s the thing, Uncle Wang, you first make a batch of the new-style Five Thunders, and we’ll decide to buy them based on the situation..."
Wang Lishan nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Undoubtedly, the cost of manufacturing the new Five Thunders is much higher, with the addition of the nano-controller even doubling the cost.
But considering Lin Chen’s safety, this loss is undoubtedly worthwhile.
And from Lin Chen’s perspective, he’s not afraid of being harmed by the Five Thunders.
However, when selling the Five Thunders in the future, he can stay cautious. When selling to tribulation cultivator forces, selling those with tampering could save a lot of effort.
Afterward, Lin Chen reviewed the advisory group’s new weekly plan and intelligence.
After a quick glance, Lin Chen found an interesting scheme.
"Find a way to kill the Jade Belt Scholar and obtain the inheritance of the Earth Escape Technique from him..."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, considering the feasibility of this move.
The Jade Belt Scholar posed almost no threat to him, merely being a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But the Earth Escape Technique was quite intriguing and very rare.
Even in the Scripture Pavilion of the Changchun Sect, there was no inheritance of the Earth Escape Technique.
Just as well, Lin Chen’s Devouring Spirit Root could also utilize Earth Element techniques.
If he could master the Earth Escape Technique, his ability to protect himself would greatly increase.
After all, hiding a hundred feet underground, even Core Formation cultivators couldn’t do anything about him.
"Interesting, if I happen to encounter him later... I could easily eliminate this Jade Belt Scholar."
Soon, once everything was ready, Lin Chen once again disguised himself as Han the Sixth.
The countdown on his arm finally hit zero...
...
In a certain inn in Jade Belt City.
After returning to the Cultivation Realm, Lin Chen first stored the resources into his storage bag one by one.
Over the next half month, he continued trading in Jade Belt City.
During this period, he traveled back and forth twice between the High Martial World and the Cultivation Realm, earning tens of thousands of spirit stones.
At this moment, the number of spirit stones Lin Chen had surpassed the 800,000 mark.
Finally, after half a month, Lin Chen decided to leave Jade Belt City.
"There are still profits to be made in this city, but recently, there’s been an increasing number of cultivators buying magical treasures."
"I’ll come back and check it out after some time..."
After packing his things, Lin Chen left Jade Belt City.
Afterward, he did not return to the Changchun Sect but flew eastward for more than a thousand miles.
