I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 258 - 17: Millions of Spirit Stones Down the Drain! Nine Ox Two Tiger Pill!
Lin Chen listened and nodded, saying:
"No matter, Brother Li is a good friend of mine, there’s no need for such formalities between us."
Seven or eight years ago, when Lin Chen first stepped onto the immortal path, Li Fengping had helped him greatly.
Later, he also often discussed array formation with him and sold him many array materials at a low price.
Lin Chen is someone who remembers kindness the most, and certainly won’t harbor any ill will over such a small matter.
He glanced at Li Zhenqian beside him, and smiled lightly:
"I heard that Junior Brother Li successfully condensed a Golden Core recently, congratulations!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."
Li Zhenqian’s smile was very stiff, the originally cheerful child suddenly became depressed.
Li Fengping didn’t notice Li Zhenqian’s expression, instead, he excitedly said:
"Younger Brother Lin, both you and Zhenqian have broken through to the Golden Core stage, you are the prodigies of Changchun Sect."
"Why not hold a small Core Formation celebration? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to celebrate?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment, though he is a Core Formation cultivator, he still knows few people.
If he can get acquainted with more cultivators of the same realm, there would be benefits, so he nodded:
"I’ll leave the arrangement to Brother Li."
Li Zhenqian listened and wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words.
...
A few days later, a "grand" Core Formation celebration was held at Changchun Mountain Marketplace.
Celebrating Lin Chen and Li Zhenqian, the dual prodigies of Changchun Sect, advancing to the Core Formation stage.
Including several Fake Pill Elders of Changchun Sect, even a few Peak Masters came to offer congratulations.
Even many unknown loose cultivators in Changchun Mountain Marketplace brought gifts to congratulate.
For a time, the entire Changchun Mountain Marketplace was filled with joy.
Well, except for one person.
"Haha, congratulations to Senior Lin for condensing a Ninth Grade Golden Core!"
Liu Jiguang smiled broadly, offering a gift. (the one who previously bought Night Bo Pills)
"Haha, Taoist Friend Liu, long time no see, next time, you must come and patronize my little shop’s business more." Lin Chen said with a smile.
Subsequently, Liu Jiguang took out another gift and handed it to Li Zhenqian.
"Congratulations to Senior Li for condensing an Eighth Grade Golden Core..."
Li Zhenqian accepted the gift with a stiff smile and had to respond: "Thank you, Taoist Friend."
Liu Jiguang walked into the banquet area.
Then, the next cultivator who came to congratulate followed suit.
"Congratulations to Senior Lin for condensing a Ninth Grade Golden Core."
"Congratulations to Senior Li for condensing an Eighth Grade Golden Core..."
"..."
Throughout the morning, hundreds of cultivators came to offer congratulations.
Li Zhenqian’s smile gradually froze, and finally, he became expressionless.
His heart was cold and desolate...
However, overall, the small Core Formation celebration went smoothly.
Lin Chen met many Foundation Establishment Perfection and Fake Pill Period cultivators.
Especially those Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators, all seen by Lin Chen as potential clients.
After this Core Formation celebration, Li Zhenqian made up his mind even more.
"Lin Chen, I will become a Nascent Soul True Man before you!"
...
Months passed since the Core Formation celebration.
During these months, the Guangyuan Auction continued to be popular.
Many local and foreign powers came to participate in the auction, wanting to vie for that hope of advancing to Core Formation.
And Lin Chen, to avoid the limelight, no longer went to the auction monthly.
He only went once, sending several Golden Yuan Pills ahead for auction, for safety.
At the same time, the fifteen Golden Yuan Pills sold to the Righteous Alliance previously played a significant role.
In just a few months, ten or so cultivators in the Righteous Alliance advanced to the Core Formation realm.
Some Core Formation cultivators were sent to the front lines to battle the Demon Sect.
In addition to the Demon Sect losing the Wild Wolf Sect, the front-line battle gradually became tense, with the Righteous Alliance changing from disadvantage to equality.
The remaining Core Formation cultivators were hidden in the two Cultivation Sects, serving as trump cards.
Notably, Li Zhenqian’s father, Li Dongkun, also successfully advanced to Core Formation using a Middle Grade Golden Yuan Pill.
Thus, the Li Family achieved double Golden Cores.
Along with Li Zhenqian’s fame as an Eighth Grade Golden Core prodigy, the Li Family’s prestige soared.
Ranking among the top three in the entire Yanlai Realm.
Under Changchun Sect, the Yanlai Royal Family and Li Family dominated, transforming the Four Cultivation Clans’ structure.
This transformation made Foundation Establishment powers in Yanlai Realm covet the Golden Yuan Pill.
As for Lin Chen himself, he spent most of the time steadily cultivating in Changchun Mountain Marketplace.
Only once, he disguised as Xu Shi, and went to the front line in Purple Smoke Country.
Lin Chen’s purpose was, of course, selling magical treasures and pills.
Top Grade Magical Artifacts, Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, along with a large batch of Healing Pills and Five Thunders.
Allowing Lin Chen to earn over a million Spirit Stones again.
Until one day, Lin Chen stayed securely in Lin’s Small Pavilion, preparing for a return to Blue Star.
When the countdown reset on Lin Chen’s arm, his vision changed.
...
Great Xia Country, Martial Arts Palace.
After successfully returning to Blue Star, Lin Chen distributed the resources acquired from this trade.
Then said to Wang Lishan:
"Uncle Wang, I plan to devour all these Spirit Stones first."
Wang Lishan raised his eyebrows in surprise, saying:
"Do you have the confidence to break through to the Third Stage of Spirit Root?"
Lin Chen shook his head, smiling bitterly:
"This Spirit Root is like a bottomless pit, where would I find the confidence."
"However, holding such a large sum of Spirit Stones is difficult to deal with, better to devour them and slightly enhance the Spirit Root’s quality."
Wang Lishan deeply agreed upon hearing this.
In the afternoon, Lin Chen went to the cultivation room.
With a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones surrounded Lin Chen’s body.
Then, Lin Chen activated the Devouring Spirit Root, absorbing all these Spirit Stones.
Moments later, hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones turned to dust, with the pure energy within rushing into Lin Chen’s Spirit Root.
