Chapter 140 Returning to Danfeng, the Grass on Master’s Grave Is Already Ten Feet High?

"This... It's only been two years since we last met, and the grass on Master's grave has grown so high?"

Looking at the grave in front of him, Lin Chen was filled with grief.

"Alas, if I could come out of the ruins earlier, Master might be able to successfully break through to the Jindan stage..."

Lin Chen was very sad.

When he entered the ruins, Han Jihai was still in the dead end, and he had not come out of the retreat for more than a year, and his life and death were uncertain.

Now more than two years have passed, and Lin Chen is still thinking that if Master has not come out of the retreat, giving him a perfect Jinyuan Pill will help Master break through to the Jindan stage.

But he has been trapped in the ruins for two and a half years, and there are too many variables after he comes out of the retreat...

Lin Chen bowed at the grave and looked at the current Danfeng.

Compared to two years ago, the current Danfeng is undoubtedly much more desolate.

Several disciples' residences, even the residence of the peak master, are covered with dust, and the walls are dilapidated.

Although Danfeng was small in the past, Han Jihai took care of it day and night, and it was still in good order.

Now that it has become like this, Lin Chen's guess is more certain.

"Squeak--"

Just when Lin Chen was feeling sad, the door of the peak master's residence in the distance opened, and the senior sister Mi Keer walked out of the door.

After seeing Lin Chen, Mi Keer was stunned for a moment, then put down the medicinal materials in her hand and rushed straight to Lin Chen.

Hmm...

A familiar feeling, Lin Chen's vision was dark, and he could hardly breathe.

The choking voice of the senior sister came to his ears:

"Woo woo, little junior brother, you are finally back!"

"Where have you been for more than two years? Senior sister thought you were dead! Woo woo... If I am left alone, what should senior sister do!"

Mi Keer cried bitterly, and Lin Chen was even more sad after hearing what the senior sister said.

"Master, senior sister... let me go first, I can't breathe..."

Lin Chen's face flushed a little, and his heartbeat accelerated. He didn't know whether it was because of breathing problems or other reasons.

After barely breaking free, Lin Chen looked at Mi Ke'er in front of him.

Compared to more than two years ago, the years have not left any traces on her face.

Her cultivation level seems to have improved slightly, and she has reached the perfection of foundation building.

"Senior sister... have you been okay in the past two years?"

Lin Chen's voice was a little trembling.

He had not returned for more than two years, his second senior brother died early, and now his master also failed to break through and died...

He didn't know how Mi Ke'er survived these two years.

Mi Ke'er was very excited when she saw Lin Chen, but when she thought of what she had experienced in the past two years, she sighed and said:

"Little junior brother, you haven't returned for more than two years... Changchunmen is changing now!"

"Changchunmen, all the inner and outer disciples are soldiers... Your third senior brother went to the front line, even the disciples who stayed behind must complete the tasks every month to ensure the front line battle."

Mi Ke'er had a sad face and said a lot of things.

"Alas, my master and I have been so busy for the past two years... We are busy refining pills every day!"

"Master is in the alchemy room all day long, taking care of the medicine garden... But now that you are back, it's good! From now on, the medicine garden will be handed over to you..."

Lin Chen has been comforting Mi Ke'er.

But after hearing half of it, he was stunned.

"Wait, Senior Sister... You just said that Master is in the alchemy room all day long?"

"Master... He is not dead?"

Mi Ke'er nodded and said, "Master is alive and well, why do you think he is dead?"

Lin Chen was speechless for a while and asked, "Then you just said that you are alone..."

Mi Ke'er said aggrievedly:

"Now the battle situation on the front line is urgent, and we have to provide pills at Danfeng! After you leave, the only one who can refine pills is Master... Master is refining pills all day long, how can I not be lonely?"

Lin Chen fell silent.

After a while, he asked again:

"Isn't the high mound next to the medicine garden the master's grave?"

The eldest sister shook her head and said:

"How could it be? That was more than a year ago when the demons attacked and the battle affected Danfeng, causing changes in the earth veins..."

Well, it was all a misunderstanding!

Lin Chen held it in for a long time, and could only say weakly:

"Ahem, the grass on the mound should be removed, it's not auspicious..."

...

A moment later, Danfeng Earth Fire Alchemy Room.

Lin Chen looked at Han Jihai in front of him, feeling a little excited.

"Master, you are really not dead!"

"My dear disciple, you are not dead!"

The master and the disciple said in unison.

After hearing what Lin Chen said, Han Jihai's beard stood up in anger.

He slapped Lin Chen on the forehead and said unhappily:

"Master came out of retreat two years ago! He successfully condensed the seventh-grade golden elixir and is now a great cultivator in the golden elixir stage!"

Well...seventh-grade golden elixir, is it very strong?

Although Lin Chen was complaining in his heart, he still flattered him:

"As expected of you, Master. You succeeded in forming a pill at the age of more than 200 years old! This is also a famous figure in Qingzhou!"

Han Jihai was quite proud after hearing this. After showing off for a while, he asked in confusion:

"My dear disciple, where have you been for the past two years?"

"Have you seen the grave mound on Danfeng... I secretly stepped into your clothes a year ago... The grass on the grave was more than ten feet high, and I thought it was you who appeared in spirit!"

Lin Chen: "..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen said:

"Alas, Master, don't mention it... I accidentally entered the ruins more than two years ago..."

Lin Chen lied and said that he had been trapped in a ruin for more than two years.

However, he didn't completely lie, but he didn't say that he was going to the ruins of Jin Yuanzong.

After hearing this, Han Jihai nodded slightly and said:

"You are lucky enough to be trapped in the ruins for more than two years. It is also beneficial. At least you escaped..."

"By the way, my good disciple is here to see if you have been slacking off in your practice for more than two years..."

Han Jihai took a look at Lin Chen's cultivation, and then said with satisfaction:

"Yes, my good disciple has reached the perfection of foundation building in just two and a half years... With such a talent, he has the same demeanor as a master!"

After all, Lin Chen hid his cultivation aura, and even though Han Jihai formed a pill, he still couldn't see through it.

At this time, Han Jihai didn't care about refining elixirs and called Lin Chen and Mi Keer to the Peak Master's residence.

After setting up a soundproof barrier, Han Jihai said:

"Ke'er, please hurry up and send a message to your third junior brother in the past two days, asking him to come back... don't stay on the front line anymore!"

"Now there is a confrontation between the good and the evil in Qingzhou, and the Righteous Alliance is at a disadvantage... Something is not right about the situation!"

As he spoke, he whispered:

"If something goes wrong, the four of us, master and disciple, should run away as soon as possible! We can't stay in Changchun Sect any longer..."

"Now that I have become a master, I have attained the golden elixir, and the three of you have also completed the foundation building cultivation. Where can we not go in this huge Qingzhou?"

Han Jihai spoke earnestly and looked at the clouds and mist in the distance without knowing what he was thinking.

Perhaps it was the death of his second senior brother more than three years ago that stimulated him.

Han Jihai also knew that the current situation in Qingzhou was not something that even the Golden Core cultivators could control.

Lin Chen remained silent after hearing this. He knew his master's thoughts and did not care about the Changchun Sect. Now that he was old, he would be satisfied as long as a few apprentices were fine.

Mi Keer also nodded and said:

"Although the situation has not deteriorated to the point where we need to run away, it is time to call back the third junior brother."

"Now that my junior brother is back, it will not be difficult to complete the mission of a thousand pills this month."

Because the battle situation on the front line is tense, all members of the Changchun Sect, regardless of disciples or elders, need to participate in the battle.

Even if they are not on the front line, they still need to provide strategic supplies in the rear.

For example, Danfeng's mission is to provide at least a thousand pills every month.

It is obviously difficult for Han Jihai to complete it alone, but after Lin Chen comes back, it will not be difficult to refine these thousand pills...

The three masters and apprentices discussed it quickly.

Obviously, they all felt that they shouldn't be involved in this muddy water, and hiding in the Changchun Gate and refining elixirs was quite acceptable.

Han Jihai gave Lin Chen a few more instructions and then continued to go back to refine the elixir.

And Mi Keer bluntly said that he wanted to go back to the house to drink and celebrate.

When Mi Keer was about to leave, Lin Chen called out to her.

"Senior Sister, are you not far away from forming a pill?"

After hearing this, Mi Keer waved his hand and said: "It's still far from it! Although it is not difficult to become a golden elixir, it is estimated that it is only a middle-grade golden elixir...it still needs to be settled..."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he handed over a Jin Yuan Dan.

"Senior sister, I obtained this Jin Yuan Dan in the ruins. Why don't you take it and take it when you are ready to form the elixir? I think it is not difficult to condense a high-grade golden elixir..."

Mi Keer was shocked when she saw the elixir in Lin Chen's hand.

This round and transparent elixir, as well as the several elixir patterns on the elixir... are clearly the perfect Jin Yuan elixir!

"Hiss... In which ruins did you get this thing!?"

Mi Keer's beautiful eyes widened and she already had some guesses in her mind.

"But if you give me this elixir, what will happen if you form an elixir in the future?"

Although Mi Keer is not good at refining elixirs, he comes from Danfeng and still knows a lot about elixirs.

Especially the famous Jin Yuandan, which is the dream of countless foundation-building monks.

The lowest quality Jin Yuan Dan is worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones...

This one in Lin Chen's hand is simply a priceless treasure!

"Don't worry, senior sister, I still have it...but senior sister must keep it a secret and don't let others know!"

Lin Chen said earnestly.

After hearing this, Mi Keer nodded repeatedly. She could still understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Wow, little junior brother, you are so kind to senior sister!"

"With this Jin Yuan Dan, senior sister will be able to condense the Jin Yuan Dan within half a year!"

Mi Keer was extremely moved, but the result was... Lin Chen's eyes went dark again.

…

Lin Chen stayed in Danfeng for two days, repairing and tidying up the originally messy medicinal fields and houses.

And soon, the news that Lin Chen was alive spread throughout the Changchun Gate.

The first person to come to Danfeng to find Lin Chen was Li Zhenqian.

On this day, Lin Chen was ripening the elixir in the medicine garden.

Suddenly I saw the sneaky figure not far away.

After seeing Lin Chen, Li Zhenqian stuck his head out and hurried over.

"Lin Chen, you are indeed not dead! I knew you wouldn't die that easily!"

Li Zhenqian looked a little excited.

We haven’t seen each other for more than two years, and Li Zhenqian has grown a lot.

At least he looks like an adult...

Seeing this, Lin Chen put down what he was doing, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"It turns out to be Junior Brother Lin... I escaped by luck. I wonder how Junior Brother is doing these days?"

Lin Chen talked about one junior brother at a time, which made Li Zhenqian unhappy.

I saw him puffing out his chest and saying loudly:

"Junior brother Lin, I have completed foundation building now..."

Halfway through his words, Li Zhenqian was stunned.

He carefully felt the aura on Lin Chen's body, and then said with some uncertainty:

"You...you also broke through to the foundation building perfection?"

Lin Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I'm pretty lucky. I achieved a perfect breakthrough in foundation building three months ago."

After hearing this, Li Zhenqian felt hopeless...

A few years ago, the nightmare of being suppressed by Lin Chen revived...

Li Zhenqian broke through to the perfect foundation two months ago.

In the past two years, he finally got rid of Lin Chen's suppression.

Although Li Zhenqian was disappointed because he had lost an opponent, he regained his confidence.

Among the inner disciples of Changchun Sect, he was one of the best, and only a few such as Wan Xun could suppress him...

After a long silence, Li Zhenqian snorted coldly and said:

"I am now the internal affairs elder of the sect! When I succeed in forming a pill in a few days, you will have to call me uncle!"

Li Zhenqian quickly regained his confidence. He still had a Jinyuan Pill in his hand, and he was very sure of succeeding in forming a pill.

After hearing this, Lin Chen said indifferently:

"Then congratulations to Junior Brother Li in advance!"

Li Zhenqian looked very bad and left in disgrace.

...

That afternoon, another person came to Danfeng - Jiang Liqian.

"You are still alive!"

This is the first sentence Jiang Liqian said after seeing Lin Chen.

After carefully looking at Lin Chen, she asked in confusion: "Where have you been in the past few years?"

Lin Chen told Jiang Liqian the lie he had prepared in advance.

Then he sighed and said:

"Junior sister Jiang, I was not able to explore the ruins with you before... I feel guilty. If you need any compensation, you can ask for it at any time."

Jiang Liqian nodded after hearing this, and her eyes were quite meaningful when she looked at Lin Chen.

She was thinking, could Lin Chen be the one who entered the gate of life at the beginning...

After a while, Jiang Liqian still felt that it was unlikely.

She knew Lin Chen's origin very well, and knew that Lin Chen was still an ordinary person a few years ago.

Now that he has completed the foundation building, he is already quite a genius.

But even if it was a soul-devouring root, it would be impossible to cultivate the third level of Jin Yuan Gong and pass through the gate of life in just three years...

Lin Chen felt guilty when Jiang Liqian looked at him, so he changed the subject and said:

"Junior sister Jiang, there is chaos in Yanlai now, why don't you go out and take a look?"

Lin Chen knew that Jiang Liqian might have cultivated the third level of Jin Yuan Gong and successfully formed a pill.

The goal was achieved, so she should have no reason to stay in Changchunmen...

Jiang Liqian shook her head and said:

"Now the whole Qingzhou is restless, Changchunmen is relatively peaceful, I don't want to go anywhere for the time being..."

After that, she reminded:

"Although you have reached the perfection of foundation building, I am afraid it is still difficult to protect yourself now... Form a pill as soon as possible, so that you can still have some self-protection power!"

After that, Jiang Liqian turned and left Danfeng.

Lin Chen looked at Jiang Liqian's leaving figure, thinking.

"Is the whole Qingzhou not peaceful... not limited to the Righteous Alliance?"

Lin Chen knew it in his heart. With Jiang Liqian's mysterious origin, she probably knew the situation outside Yanlai Realm very well.

What she said about Qingzhou being in chaos was probably true.

"Now the Righteous Alliance is weak, and the Demon Sect has the upper hand... This is not good news for me..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

From Lin Chen's point of view, he would like to see the destruction of the Demon Sect, after all, he is also a member of the Righteous Alliance.

But Lin Chen cannot directly interfere with the occupation of both sides. If he provokes a Yuanying old monster from the Demon Sect to take action, even he will suffer.

"After all, he has only turned into a golden elixir. Although he has some self-protection power, it is better to be cautious."

"Taking advantage of the war between the Righteous and Demon Sects, it is important to earn more spiritual stone resources!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked his master for leave and left Danfeng.

Back to Lin's Xiaoxuan, Lin Chen released a puppet that looked exactly like himself to stay in the shop.

Afterwards, taking advantage of the night, Lin Chen rushed all the way to Yanlai City.

The righteous and evil sides fought, not to mention the fishermen who benefited, it would be no problem for Lin Chen to take the opportunity to make some war money.

...

The next morning, Yanlai City Li Mansion.

Li Dongkun looked at Lin Chen in front of him, and said with a little excitement:

"Senior Han, you are finally here! I haven't seen you for two years, and I thought..."

Li Dongkun knew he had said something wrong before he finished speaking, and hurriedly shut up.

After the ruins of Jinyuan Sect, Li Zhenqian brought back news about Xu Shi, which made Li Dongkun more respectful and look forward to the transaction with Fengling Yueying Sect.

But he didn't see him for two or three years, which made him anxious.

Lin Chen's face was calm, and he smiled:

"I have been doing business in other places in the past two years... I heard that the righteous and evil sides in Qingzhou are very busy, so I came back to see if there is any business to do!"

Li Dongkun was in awe when he heard this.

In the current situation in Qingzhou, all the cultivators are avoiding it, but the Fengling Yueying Sect dares to come here to do business, which shows its strength...

Li Dongkun swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively:

"Then why did the senior come here this time..."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Of course I am here to do business. Is the Li family master interested?"

Li Dongkun nodded quickly after hearing this, "That's very interesting! What do you want to sell this time?"

Lin Chen waved his hand, and hundreds of top-grade magic tools appeared in the yard.

Li Dongkun's heart pounded when he saw it. It was indeed a familiar taste.

With a wave of his hand, it was a business of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones!

In the past two years, the four major families in Yanlai City made a lot of money by doing business with Lin Chen.

So even if the situation is not good now, the Li family has not missed the opportunity to make a fortune. The family strength is much stronger than before.

There are more than ten foundation-building monks in the family, which can be regarded as a large-scale foundation-building family.

In addition to the best magical weapons, Li Dongkun also bought some Wu Lei Zi and elixirs.

After counting the goods and completing the transaction, Li Dongkun asked tentatively:

"Senior Han, I wonder if senior is interested in joining the Righteous Alliance..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head and said: "I am a businessman, and businessmen are naturally neutral... But Lao Shi said two days ago that he seemed to have an identity in the Righteous Alliance..."

Lao Shi?

Li Dongkun was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Senior Han is talking about senior Xu Shi?"

Lin Chen nodded.

Li Dongkun suddenly said excitedly:

"My son Li Zhenqian was lucky enough to survive in the ruins two years ago, thanks to the help of senior Xu Shi!"

"Since then, Gan'er has been clamoring to make Senior Xu Shi his adoptive father! I wonder if Senior Han can recommend him?"

Lin Chen looked strange after hearing this.

What, Li Zhenqian wants to worship him as his adoptive father?

When he thought of that scene... Lin Chen still wanted to laugh.

He did not agree directly, but asked:

"I wonder how your master's cultivation is now?"

Li Dongkun smiled when he heard this and said: "Qian'er is quite up to par. He has completed the foundation building in the past two months, and his cultivation has surpassed that of a father like me..."

"And there are some strange encounters in the ruins. It shouldn't be difficult to form a pill..."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this, he took out a pill and said calmly:

"Ordinary golden elixirs are not worthy of your master's status!"

"This top-quality Jin Yuan Dan... I wonder if the Li family is interested?"

The best Jin Yuan Dan!

When Li Dongkun saw the elixir in front of him, he took a deep breath and said with a trembling tone:

"Senior...how much does this elixir cost?"
