Chapter 29 Don’t Bully the Young

Another early morning.

In the Yunyang Peak Cave Mansion, Lin Chen was sitting and preparing to go down the mountain while determining the next experimental plan.

"Sure enough, my guess was correct. The cyclone realm is not a necessary realm in Qi refining practice, but the ancient monks created a realm during the Qi refining period in order to assist the practice. The purpose is to store more true energy and utilize the characteristics of cyclone Attack the foundation..."

In the cave, Lin Chen held a pile of experimental materials and kept thinking and analyzing.

"Then can I atomize the true energy in my body? In this way, the amount of true energy stored is not only more than the cyclone, but also makes my foundation deeper and makes it easier to attack the foundation. After all, it is much easier to liquefy the mist. "

Lin Chen's eyes moved, thoughtfully. Although this idea and practice are somewhat risky, it can increase your own foundation, so it is worth a try.

After all, on the road to immortality, only those who have a deep foundation and are ahead of others step by step are qualified to compete for that immortal life!

"However, although Zhenqi atomization has been tested, there are still certain risks when doing it. Therefore, some natural materials and earthly treasures are needed as a back-up to avoid damage to the foundation, so..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen took out the information he got from Xu Mengyun.

It clearly says: One month later, Jiaqingfang City, underground auction, century-old chalcedony

"So, it's time to go down the mountain and get back my [100-year-old Chalcedony]... huh?"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Is this a knock on the door?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but be a little confused. The address he chose was remote, and he always walked alone, so he had almost no friends. Who would come here at this time?

‘Could it be that senior sister? It's impossible... She was calling someone directly from a distance, for fear that others would mess up our relationship. How could she knock on the door so politely? ’

However, Lin Chen didn't think much and directly observed the door through a special instrument.

‘Is it him? What is he here for? ’

After seeing the person clearly, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown slightly, and a flash of doubt flashed in his heart, but he still stood up and welcomed the person in.

"Cousin Lin Chen, I really admire your name for a long time!" As soon as the visitor saw him, he cupped his hands and smiled, with an indescribable kindness in his tone.

The person who came here was wearing a light cyan [monastic robe], a [Ling Gathering Jade Pendant] on his waist, and a sapphire Taoist crown on his head. He had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and looked like a young man from a noble family.

"Cousin Tianhao, you're so polite. Why didn't you tell me before you came? The room is simple and simple, and I was worried that the reception would not be good enough." Lin Chen responded with a smile on his face.

The person in front of him was Lin Chen's cousin Lin Tianhao.

He and Lin Chen belong to the same generation. According to their seniority, Lin Chen's real name should be Lin Tianchen. However, since Lidu has left the Lin family, Lin Chen naturally has no intention of using this name anymore.

However, although they are closely related by blood, they are not familiar with each other at all. No, to be precise, this is the first time the two of them have communicated.

‘Since I left the Lin family, I haven’t had a single contact in more than ten years. What are you doing here at this time? ’

Lin Chen had a little doubt in his heart, but his face still looked overjoyed.

"Cousin, what are you talking about? You and I are blood relatives, so why should we be so alienated?" Lin Tianhao said with a smile.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. Instead, he brewed a pot of spiritual tea for the two of them to drink.

"This tea is called Qingling tea. It is made from the fresh leaves of a Qingling tea tree that I transplanted at great cost. It has certain effects of refreshing the brain and nourishing the soul. However, the tea tree only produces three taels a year. I hope my cousin won’t dislike it.”

"Cousin, what are you talking about? This tea makes people think clearly. It is a rare and top-quality tea." Lin Tianhao took a sip and praised it.

Then he said in an approving tone: "My cousin is practicing in the Qingyun Sect. He has been dormant for ten years. Once he became famous, he won the third place among the outer disciples. He is truly the proud son of the Lin family!"

Before he became famous, he was the evil son who disobeyed the Lin family. After becoming famous, he became the Qilin of the Lin family. Oh, this world is really a reality!

Lin Chen sneered silently in his heart, but still said with a smile:

"Cousin Tianhao is so humble. He can become an inner disciple at the age of twenty-five, and he is regarded as the hope of the Lin family's rise. My cousin is the true pride of heaven."

He didn't believe that the other person came just to praise him. It was more likely that he wanted to ask for something, but he was not in a hurry. After all, he was not the one asking for help.

After some pleasantries, Lin Tianhao showed an expression of embarrassment. He seemed to hesitate for a long time before gritting his teeth and speaking.

"To be honest, I came here to ask for something. I hope my cousin will help a bunch of families out of consideration for the fact that I am a blood relative!"

"Oh? I wonder what happened?" Lin Chen's eyes moved.

"That's it..." Lin Tianhao said.

Listening to his story, Lin Chen gradually understood the cause of the matter.

It turns out that the Lin family, as one of the three major families in the Immortal City Jiangcheng under the Qingyun Sect, can be regarded as a powerful cultivator in the region.

But over the years, one of the family's two foundation-building elders died unexpectedly, and the other is nearing his end.

And many of the older generation of monks have died due to the impact of the foundation building period and the end of their lifespan, which has significantly weakened the Lin family's high-level combat capabilities.

And few of the new generation of monks are successful, which puts the Lin family into a dilemma.

This caused the other two major families in Jiangcheng to have other ideas.

After all, the output of immortal cultivation resources in a place is limited. Apart from the supply to the Qingyun Sect, the remaining three families are divided according to their strength.

If one family is missing, the remaining two families will undoubtedly receive more.

As a result, the two families joined forces to secretly suppress Lin family geniuses and intercept and kill their older generation monks.

Even though the Lin family continues to shrink its sphere of influence and give up most of its interests in order to remain intact, the two families still have no intention of letting it go. After all, there are some things that they must either not do or never do!

After all, the previous actions have clearly created a blood feud, and it is impossible for the two families to give up the benefits they have obtained, so the conflicts between the two parties are getting bigger and bigger.

If they weren't afraid that the ancestors of the Lin family would use the method of mutual death to kill their ancestors, they would have come directly to the door.

However, in response to the Lin family's inability to retreat, they also thought of a way to deal with it, and that was the Jiangcheng Competition.

The Jiangcheng Competition was a way for the three families to divide their own territory and resources, and the two families used this method to force the Lin family.

If the opponent still can't retreat, it will not only severely damage the morale of the Lin family, but also take the opportunity to contain the losers in the city, get close to the Lin family's influence, remove the connections they left behind, and even further cut off their resources for cultivating immortals.

And if the other party appears, they can take advantage of this opportunity to further kill the Lin family's effective forces, and even test the status of the Lin family's ancestors.

Therefore, the only way for the Lin family to survive this crisis is to defeat the other two families in an unrivaled manner in a big competition, so that they can use the rat weapon to gain a breather for the Lin family, and even allow the younger generations of the family to attack the foundation-building period. Chance.

"You mean, you want me to participate in the Jiangcheng Competition half a year from now?" Lin Chen was slightly stunned.

"That's right, there are not many successful monks in the new generation of the family. Coupled with the assassinations of the other two major families, we can't get enough candidates to take the challenge, so we can only shamelessly ask for my cousin!"

Afterwards, Lin Tianhao directly held Lin Chen's hand, his tone was full of sincerity:

"Cousin, I know that my family has been sorry for you all these years, but I hope that at this critical moment, for the sake of blood and family ties, you can help me!"

After saying that, he even stood up and bowed deeply.

Lin Chen took a look and was unmoved.

After all, in this world of immortality, both humans and ghosts are acting, and no one knows whether it is true or false. He will not let this posturing affect his judgment.

However, he still lifted Lin Tianhao up with a moved expression and said loudly: "Cousin, where are these words? The family is in trouble, and it is our duty to do so!"

"Cousin!" Lin Tianhao seemed to be moved by Lin Chen's words, with a moved expression on his face.

"Cousin!" Lin Chen also looked sincere.

After all, in this world of intrigue and intrigue, who doesn’t have honed their Oscar-worthy acting skills?

After a while, seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Lin Chen asked tactfully: "This challenge is risky after all. I wonder what kind of compensation the family can give?"

"Cousin, where are you talking from? Shouldn't it be our responsibility to help the family? Besides, everything you do, the family elders will naturally see..."

Um? !

Hearing these words, Lin Chen's smile froze.

"Oh? My cousin means that my help this time is out of obligation and there will be no benefits?" Lin Chen's smile completely disappeared and he asked calmly.

"Cousin, as long as you do well, the family elders will naturally give you adequate rewards. Besides, the family has given birth to you and raised you for so many years, isn't it right to repay the family?" Lin Tianhao said with a serious face.

Give birth to me and raise me? Lin Chen couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He was born and protected by his parents. What does this have to do with the family, let alone the attempt to seize his family property after his death, forcing him to leave his hometown and enter the Qingyun Sect to practice alone.

Based on this alone, Lin Chen can say, what kind of kindness does the Lin family have to him? !

To be honest, Lin Chen had no feelings for the Lin family at all, just like a stranger.

Although someone in the family bullied him when he was young and took away his family property, he had just awakened his past life memories at that time, so he didn't have much sense of belonging and was not that angry.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has a lot of scientific research on hand, and his mind is full of various topics. In his mind, the Lin family's trivial matters... really don't rank high.

After all, when people get busy, those trivial and insignificant things are naturally forgotten.

If it hadn't been for the recent fame and the fact that the other party was dangling in front of his eyes again and again, he would have almost forgotten that he once had a family.

Originally, if the other party paid enough, Lin Chen wouldn't mind helping.

After all, money is really tight recently.

But the other party didn't think so. They felt that Lin Chen was young and easy to deceive, and they wanted to kidnap him in the name of family ties and righteousness!

‘There is no talk of remuneration, no mention of dedication, no talk of benefits... I finally understand that the Lin family is planning to force me to work for them for free in the name of family ties and righteousness! ’

Lin Chen had a cold look in his eyes and said calmly: "Senior Brother Lin, if you want to ask for help, you must show enough sincerity!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Tianhao seemed puzzled and couldn't help frowning: "Cousin, what do you mean by this? Isn't it right to contribute to the family? Why only care about that benefit? We young people should look forward. !”

Lin Chen didn't speak, just stared at him coldly, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little solid for a while.

"Cousin..."

"Do you, the Lin family, think I'm a fool?" Lin Tianhao was about to say something, but was directly interrupted by Lin Chen.

"Do you, the elders of the Lin family, think that I am a hot-blooded, easy-to-deceive young man who will fight for you with a few big cakes and a few words of encouragement, without receiving any benefits?"

"Or..." Lin Chen's eyes became colder and colder. The ten years of hard work and suffering he had gone through to get to this point couldn't be described in a simple sentence.

He went through the torment of research, the hardship of making money, and the life-and-death struggle every day, and survived to achieve what he has achieved today.

Now that it's fine, he's gotten ahead of himself, but the other party wants to use family affection as a shackle to trick him into paying for them for free. Do he really think he's a fool?

Or should I say...

"Or do you think that I am just like the little boy who was forced out of the house by you ten years ago? I am weak and powerless and can be at your mercy?"

"This..." Lin Tianhao couldn't help but swallowed when he faced Lin Chen's cold expression and his increasingly fierce aura.

His cultivation relied on his father, the patriarch, and his talent, and the inner disciples also relied on connections. He had never experienced any life-and-death fights, so how could he withstand Lin Chen's momentum?

After all, Lin Chen climbed up from the bottom step by step without any relationship background. The life and death fight he experienced was beyond his imagination!

"Cousin...cousin, if you are talking about this, the elders definitely don't mean it..."

"Go back and tell the old people in the Lin family that if you want my help, you have to show enough sincerity. If you only talk about dedication and not about benefits, do you think that we young people are naive and easy to deceive, and we have no experience? Can you fool us into beating us to death with just one sentence? All in all, you just want to take advantage of the righteousness, come..."

Lin Chen waved his hand, interrupted the other party's conversation, stared into his eyes, and said word by word:

"Bullying me, Nian Shao?!"

Lin Tianhao stared at Lin Chen blankly, listening to the indifferent tone, he couldn't help but feel a deep chill even in the afternoon of the day.
