I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 220 - 4: Return to Pill Peak—Has the Grass on Master’s Grave Grown Ten Feet Tall? (2)
Han Jihai assessed Lin Chen’s cultivation, then said with satisfaction:
"Not bad, my dear disciple, you’ve achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection in just two and a half years... Such talent, truly reminiscent of me in my youth!"
After all, Lin Chen had concealed his cultivation aura, and even though Han Jihai was at Core Formation, he still couldn’t see through it.
At this moment, Han Jihai set aside alchemy and summoned Lin Chen and Miko to the Peak Master’s residence.
After setting up a sound insulation barrier, Han Jihai said:
"Miko, quickly send a message to your third junior brother in the next two days, tell him to come back... don’t stay at the front line anymore!"
"Now that the Orthodox and Demonic Party are at a standoff in the Qing State, and the Righteous Alliance is at a disadvantage... something seems off!"
He then said in a low voice:
"If things seem amiss, the four of us master and disciples will run off early! It’s getting hard to stay in the Changchun Sect..."
"Now I am already at Golden Core, and the three of you have all reached Foundation Establishment Perfection. In this vast Qing State, where can we not go?"
Han Jihai spoke earnestly, looking at the distant clouds, lost in thought.
Perhaps the death of the second senior brother more than three years ago had struck him.
Han Jihai understood the current situation in the Qing State; even a Golden Core cultivator cannot change it.
Lin Chen remained silent after listening; he understood his master’s mindset. He didn’t care about this Changchun Sect; now that he’s aged, as long as his disciples are safe, he’s content.
Miko also nodded and said:
"Although the situation hasn’t worsened to the point of retreating, it’s time to call the third junior brother back."
"Now that the junior brother has returned, the task of producing a thousand pills a month is not hard to achieve."
Due to the tense front-line situation, all from the Changchun Sect, whether disciples or elders, need to participate in the war.
Even if not at the front line, they need to provide strategic supplies in the rear.
For example, the task of Pill Peak is to provide at least a thousand pills each month.
Relying solely on Han Jihai is clearly difficult, but with Lin Chen’s return, quickly refining these thousand pills is not hard...
The three master and disciples quickly had a discussion.
Obviously, they felt they shouldn’t get involved in this messy affair, staying quietly in Changchun Sect doing alchemy was still manageable.
Han Jihai gave Lin Chen a few more instructions, then continued to return to alchemy.
While Miko straightforwardly said she would go back to her room to celebrate with a drink.
As Miko was about to leave, Lin Chen called her.
"Senior sister, aren’t you close to Core Formation too?"
Miko waved her hand after hearing, saying: "Still a long way to go! Although achieving Golden Core isn’t hard, I reckon it’s only a Middle-Grade Golden Core... Still need some settling..."
Lin Chen nodded after listening, thought for a moment, and still handed over a Golden Yuan Pill.
"Senior sister, I obtained this Golden Yuan Pill from a relic. As you’re about to form your core, why not take it? It shouldn’t be hard to condense an Upper Grade Golden Core..."
Miko was startled upon seeing the pill in Lin Chen’s hand.
This smooth and translucent pill, along with several pill patterns on it... it was clearly a Perfect Golden Yuan Pill!
"Gasp... Where did you get this from a relic!?"
Miko widened her beautiful eyes, already having some guesses in her heart.
"But if you give this pill to me, what about your future core formation?"
Although Miko wasn’t great at alchemy, she came from Pill Peak and had a good understanding of pills.
Especially this famous Golden Yuan Pill, which is the dream of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Even the worst quality Golden Yuan Pill would be worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones each...
The pill in Lin Chen’s hand, it’s practically priceless!
"Don’t worry, senior sister, I have more... But please keep it a secret, don’t let anyone else know!"
Lin Chen said earnestly.
Miko nodded repeatedly after hearing, understanding the gravity of the matter.
"Ugh, junior brother, you’re too good to your senior sister!"
"With this Golden Yuan Pill, senior sister will be able to condense a golden core within half a year!"
Miko was deeply moved, and the consequence was... everything went black before Lin Chen’s eyes again.
...
Lin Chen stayed at Pill Peak for two days, having repaired and tidied up the previously messy medicine fields and houses.
Soon, the news that Lin Chen was alive spread throughout the Changchun Sect.
The first to visit Pill Peak to find Lin Chen was Li Zhenqian.
That day, Lin Chen was in the medicine garden accelerating the growth of Spiritual Medicine.
When suddenly he saw a sneaky figure not far away.
Seeing Lin Chen, Li Zhenqian poked his head out and ran over quickly.
"Lin Chen, you’re really not dead! I knew you wouldn’t die that easily!"
Li Zhenqian seemed somewhat excited.
Having not seen him for over two years, Li Zhenqian had grown quite a bit.
At the very least, he looked somewhat like an adult...
Seeing this, Lin Chen put down what he was doing, clasped his hands, and smiled:
"So it’s Junior Brother Lin... I was lucky to escape a disaster. How have you been lately, junior brother?"
Lin Chen, addressing him as junior brother, clearly annoyed Li Zhenqian.
He puffed out his chest and loudly said:
"Junior Brother Lin, I’m now at Foundation Establishment Perfection..."
Halfway through the sentence, Li Zhenqian froze.
He carefully sensed the aura on Lin Chen, then said with some uncertainty:
"You... you also broke through to Foundation Establishment Perfection?"
Lin Chen nodded, smiling: "I was quite lucky, broke through to Foundation Establishment Perfection three months ago."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenqian became instantly disheartened...
Years ago, the nightmare of being constantly suppressed by Lin Chen resurfaced...
Li Zhenqian had broken through to Foundation Establishment Perfection two months ago.
Over the past two years, he had finally escaped Lin Chen’s suppression.
Although losing a rival made Li Zhenqian somewhat disappointed, he had regained his confidence.
Among the Inner Sect Disciples in the entire Changchun Sect, he was considered one of the top, only a few like Wan Xun could surpass him...
After a moment of silence, Li Zhenqian snorted coldly and said:
"I’m now the Sect Internal Affairs Elder! Wait until I succeed in Core Formation, and you’ll have to call me Uncle!"
