I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 218 - 3: Destroying Fake Pills in an Instant, Returning to the Yanlai Realm
"Is it... that kid Huang Xin?"
Lin Chen felt a stir in his heart and headed towards the medicine garden.
Upon entering the medicine garden, Lin Chen saw from a distance dozens of figures busy working.
Lin Chen did not hide his presence. When he got closer, Huang Xin abruptly turned his head and stared at him in a daze.
"Lin... Senior Brother Lin?"
Huang Xin’s eyes widened in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, and then they suddenly turned red.
He put down what he was holding and rushed towards Lin Chen as fast as he could.
"Lin, Senior Brother Lin! You finally came back..."
Huang Xin’s voice sounded choking, on the verge of tears.
Lin Chen examined Huang Xin and nodded slightly, saying:
"Not bad, it’s just been over two years... and you’re already at the sixth layer of Qi Refining?"
Once Huang Xin was sure it was really Lin Chen, he couldn’t hold back any longer. While crying, he said:
"Senior Brother Lin, I’m sorry... the things you entrusted to Huang Xin, I didn’t do well..."
"Those over a hundred disciples all left... only a few dozen brothers are left."
"They... they all thought Senior Brother was dead! Only Huang Xin didn’t believe it... How could someone like Senior Brother Lin die?"
At this moment, Huang Xin seemed to have many things to say, but he was crying and anxious like a child...
Lin Chen said calmly:
"Don’t rush, speak slowly."
Huang Xin nodded and told everything that had happened at Lin’s Small Pavilion over the past two and a half years.
Two and a half years, not too long, not too short.
But enough to change many things...
The great war between the Orthodox and Demonic Party left many Foundation Establishment cultivators fallen.
The over one hundred people under Lin Chen were all paid in Spirit Stones, working in the medicine garden because of Lin Chen’s title as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In the first year after Lin Chen left, it was still manageable; the Spirit Stones left before were barely enough to pay the cultivators’ wages.
But as Lin Chen never returned, how could Huang Xin, just a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, hold the fort?
In desperation, he started using the salary Lin Chen had awarded him before to pay wages, occasionally selling a few Spiritual Medicines.
He barely maintained the operation of the medicine garden this way.
But even so, the cultivators in the medicine garden left one after another, leaving only about thirty or forty people.
These people only stayed after Huang Xin’s earnest pleas.
During this period, many advised Huang Xin to sell the medicine garden and store to make a considerable amount of Spirit Stones and run away.
But Huang Xin didn’t listen. He always believed Lin Chen would return.
"However, as long as Senior Brother Lin comes back! Everything will get better!"
Huang Xin wiped his tearful eyes and said with firm belief.
He handed over a storage bag containing the Spiritual Medicines they had matured over the two years.
About ten thousand Spiritual Medicines, worth several thousand Spirit Stones...
Such a large fortune, Huang Xin did not keep it for himself.
Looking at the storage bag in his hand, Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then said: "You’ve worked hard!"
He looked up at the dozens of people in the medicine garden; they were all surprised or overjoyed seeing Lin Chen.
Perhaps none of them expected Lin Chen to come back.
Lin Chen flicked his finger, and thousands of Spirit Stones fell into the hands of each medicine boy.
"You work for me, Lin Chen; I will not treat you unfairly."
"Each of you will have one hundred Spirit Stones as a reward."
Lin Chen’s tone remained calm.
But the dozen or so people behind him were immediately overjoyed beyond measure, almost feeling like they were dreaming holding the handful of Spirit Stones.
One hundred Spirit Stones, for these medicine boys, was more than two years of salary!
"Thank you, Boss Lin, for your reward!" These hundreds of medicine boys said one after another.
Lin Chen nodded and called Huang Xin to the outside of the medicine garden.
"In the past two years, you have done well." Lin Chen affirmed.
But Huang Xin shook his head, "Most of the people Senior Brother left are gone; it’s Huang Xin’s fault..."
Lin Chen took out a storage bag from his arms and said:
"The things inside are all for you. Cultivate well, and strive to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage within a few years."
"As for this medicine garden, it should be shut down. It would be better for you to focus more on cultivation..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
For Lin Chen...
The initial purpose of establishing Lin’s Small Pavilion and the medicine garden was to divert attention, bringing cultivation realm resources back to Blue Star.
At the same time, it continually supplies more resources and herbs to Blue Star...
Indeed, at the outset, the medicine garden and Lin’s Small Pavilion brought many resources to Blue Star.
And propelled the development of cultivation on Blue Star.
But things are different now.
It’s no exaggeration to say the harvest of Lin’s Small Pavilion over several years doesn’t even compare to a day’s herb output on Blue Star.
Tens of thousands of acres of mountains, with departments for alchemy, artifact refining, and array formation operating simultaneously.
The entire Blue Star already has an initial self-sufficient capability.
Apart from some ores and Spirit Stone veins, in some places, Blue Star is not much different from the cultivation realm.
Simply put, it still lacks foundation and needs time to accumulate.
In this accumulation process, the role of Lin’s Small Pavilion is minimal.
After hearing Lin Chen’s words, Huang Xin was stunned.
After a long silence, he cautiously said:
"Senior Brother, can’t we keep the medicine garden open? I still want to be a medicine boy for you... Don’t worry, Senior Brother, Huang Xin will handle these things properly next!"
For Huang Xin, the medicine garden and Lin’s Small Pavilion were the light Lin Chen gave him when he was at the lowest point in his life.
He attached too many emotions to it, holding immense significance.
After thinking for a while, Lin Chen nodded and said:
"Alright then, I will leave it to you to manage. But still, focus on your own cultivation..."
"And don’t let others know what’s in the storage bag."
Lin Chen gave this instruction and then left the medicine garden.
After Lin Chen left, Huang Xin probed the storage bag with his Divine Sense and was stunned.
Inside the storage bag was a large pile of Spirit Stones, more than three thousand, enough for him to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
There were even dozens of bottles of various pills, some magical artifacts... and a very crucial, Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill!
With this Foundation Establishment Pill, even someone like Huang Xin, with mixed spirit roots, could achieve a perfect foundation establishment!
Lin Chen left the marketplace and flew towards Changchun Mountain.
Before long, he saw Pill Peak.
But at that moment, Pill Peak was deserted.
After surveying the surroundings, Lin Chen spotted a high mound next to the medicine garden and paused.
