Chapter 156: Middle Stage of Jindan! Lin Chen's Underground Safe House!

Han Jihai on the side snorted coldly after hearing this:

"It's indeed far behind! Tieshan, you are the dullest disciple I have ever had..."

"Leave aside other senior brothers and sisters, your fourth senior brother has already established the foundation at your time! He also won the first place in the sect competition, overwhelming all the senior brothers."

"Look at you again, you are only at the eighth level of Qi refining now!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

A few years ago, the master treated him in much the same way, with a consistent suppressive education.

As a result, Lin Chen is now regarded as a role model and inspires his junior brothers.

This look reminded Lin Chen of his student days.

The head teacher will always say the classic saying: You are the worst class of students I have ever taught.

As expected, Han Jihai saw Tu Qiongdagger and said:

"Your qualifications are acceptable, but today's world is so chaotic that even if you build a foundation, you can't protect yourself."

"Well, don't go down the mountain alone until you break through the golden elixir. It's best to learn more about spiritual cultivation from your teacher..."

Zhou Tieshan is an honest and honest person. After hearing this, he nodded heavily and said:

"Don't worry, master, I will stay in Danfeng and practice well!"

"I will also learn from Fourth Senior Brother and not go anywhere until I break through the Dan Formation Stage..."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Chen with admiration.

Lin Chen held his forehead to hide his smile. This child was really deceived by his master and became lame.

After Han Jihai finished training his junior brother, he did not forget to scold Lin Chen and said:

"Chen'er! Although our Danfeng has four golden elixirs, this is not a good thing!"

"Think about it, now the good and the evil are fighting against each other... our Danfeng has become stronger, should we be at the front? How can we still live a good life!"

Speaking of this, Han Jihai said with a sad face:

"Well, I'd better make a few more batches of elixirs as a master... This way, at least I don't have to go to the front line. It's safest to just keep refining elixirs in the rear."

That day, Lin Chen ate the food cooked by his master at Danfeng.

The five people from Danfeng gathered together and enjoyed the meal with peace of mind.

…

Early the next morning, Lin Chen stayed on the second floor of Lin's Xiaoxuan to practice.

Suddenly he sensed someone coming downstairs. After sensing carefully, Lin Chen said in surprise:

"This aura...is it Huang Xin? Has he broken through the foundation?"

Lin Chen went downstairs and saw Huang Xin waiting patiently at the door.

After seeing Lin Chen, his face lit up with joy and he stepped forward and said:

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Lin Chen looked him over, smiled and nodded:

"How many months have we not seen each other? Have you built a foundation? Come in and talk..."

Lin Chen took Huang Xin to the backyard and made him a cup of tea.

"Would you like to try the spiritual tea given by the sect master?"

Huang Xin was flattered and took the spirit tea. After taking a sip, he felt it was slightly bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste was endlessly sweet.

Even the cultivation speed is three points faster.

“What a great tea!”

Huang Xin drank a cup of tea, feeling that he still had more to say.

"Haha, I still have some here. If you like me, I can give you some more..."

Lin Chen smiled.

This spiritual tea is a specialty of Tiandan Sect, and is very useful for foundation building and even for the cultivation of alchemy monks.

A thousand spirit stones are a pound, and they are almost never sold to the outside world.

Before he broke through the pill formation, Wang Changchun gave him a few kilograms as a gift. He couldn't drink it all anyway, so he might as well give some to Huang Xin.

"I see that your cultivation has reached the foundation building stage. How is the quality of the foundation building?"

Lin Chen took a sip of tea and asked casually.

After hearing this, Huang Xin put down his tea cup and said quickly:

"I have to thank Senior Brother Lin for that elixir... I was lucky enough to build the foundation perfectly..."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, not surprised by this.

Huang Xin has a miscellaneous spiritual root, and his original hope of building a foundation was very slim.

But with that perfect foundation-building pill, even a five-spirit-root monk can build a foundation perfectly.

"It's good to have a perfect foundation...at least it retains a glimmer of hope of condensing the golden elixir." Lin Chen said softly.

After hearing this, Huang Xin quickly shook his head and said:

"It's already great luck to be able to build a foundation by chance. How can I dare to ask for the condensed golden elixir?"

Lin Chen smiled after hearing this and encouraged:

"That's not necessarily the case. Although your qualifications are average. But the journey of cultivation is not only about your qualifications."

"Luck and character are both very important. As long as you are dedicated to the Tao, you may not have the chance to condense the golden elixir."

Huang Xin was convinced after hearing this and said:

"Meeting Senior Brother Lin is my greatest luck."

Huang Xin is nearly thirty this year, a few years older than Lin Chen.

He was Lin Chen's last disciple, strictly speaking, he was Lin Chen's senior brother.

But it's a pity that he is only an outer disciple and has very few resources.

Before meeting Lin Chen, he had practiced hard for three years and was only in the early stages of Qi refining.

But after meeting Lin Chen, he managed the medicine garden and earned a lot of spiritual stones.

I have been practicing diligently for seven or eight years, but I have also reached the perfection of Qi refining.

Coupled with the perfect foundation-building pill, it made up for Huang Xin's lack of foundation.

If you still work steadily during the foundation building period, there may not be any hope of condensing the golden elixir in this life...

After Huang Xin drank two more cups of tea, he said:

"By the way, Senior Brother Lin...have you heard about Shopkeeper Wu recently?"

Lin Chen blinked after hearing this and asked:

"But the previous owner of this shop?"

Huang Xin nodded and said:

"A few days ago, a secret realm was discovered in Yan Lai's territory. A monk entered it and encountered the corpses of several monks."

"There is a corpse among them. Judging from the objects on his body, it should be Shopkeeper Wu..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen was silent for a moment and drank a few sips of tea.

Shopkeeper Wu was once a well-known foundation-building cultivator in this market.

His cultivation level was also in the late stage of foundation-building, but he felt that his life span was not much, so he went out to travel and seek the opportunity to break through the golden elixir.

After that, Lin Chen never heard from Shopkeeper Wu, nor did he see Shopkeeper Wu return to the market to look for his old friend.

Unexpectedly, after seven or eight years, when he heard from him again, it was already like this...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen was also quite touched and sighed:

"For us cultivators, cultivation is like sailing a small boat in the vast ocean. We must be extremely cautious and look three times before taking a step..."

"Otherwise, if we encounter an accident, we will be doomed!"

"Shopkeeper Wu... Alas..."

Lin Chen shook his head. Although he was not familiar with Shopkeeper Wu, they had some intersections.

Seeing the death of the predecessors in the past, there are always some feelings.

Huang Xin also agreed with what Lin Chen said and secretly remembered it in his heart.

After that, he took out a storage bag and said:

"Brother Lin, this is the harvest of the spiritual medicine from the medicine garden in the past year... all are here."

After hearing this, Lin Chen did not take the storage bag, but said:

"Huang Xin, you are also a foundation-building cultivator now, and you should have some status in this Changchun Mountain market."

"No need to be trapped in that small medicine garden..."

Huang Xin shook his head and said:

"It is my honor to take care of the medicine garden for Brother Lin."

"However, I plan to apply for the position of an outer sect deacon in the sect, so that I can get to know more disciples and help my brother more."

After hearing this, Lin Chen was silent for a moment, thought about it, and took out 10,000 spirit stones and handed them over.

"You keep these spiritual stones first."

"Although you are only the manager of the medicine garden, you are already a foundation-building cultivator. This salary should be commensurate with your cultivation..."

Huang Xin did not refuse this.

He needs spiritual stones to practice.

But after seeing the number of spiritual stones in the spiritual stone bag, Huang Xin suddenly became anxious.

"Brother Lin, I don't need so many spiritual stones..."

Lin Chen shook his head and said:

"You keep them! As for the extra spiritual stones, didn't you find another batch of medicine boys before?"

"When you have nothing to do, you can also help me develop some business, such as mining."

After hearing this, Huang Xin put away the spiritual stones and nodded:

"Okay, Brother Lin, I will work hard!"

After Huang Xin left, Lin Chen opened the storage bag and took a look.

Then he was a little surprised.

In just one year, there were more than 10,000 spiritual medicines in this storage bag.

Although the age is not high, most of them are three to five years old, but the efficacy is well maintained.

In addition, there are ores piled up like a hill.

"This Huang Xin is a capable person..."

"He should have recruited a lot of people in the past year, but he never asked me for spirit stones... It seems that his business can already cover its own profits and losses and even have a surplus."

Lin Chen was a little surprised.

At the beginning, Huang Xin was chosen as a medicine boy because he was honest and trustworthy, and he was too lazy to find anyone else.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen accidentally discovered a talent.

...

After Huang Xin left, Lin Chen returned to the room to continue practicing.

He took out two jade slips, memorized the techniques in the jade slips completely, and practiced the mind method.

"Wind Shadow Divine Travel... Cloud Soaring Technique..."

"These are two good escape techniques."

Lin Chen murmured.

These two escape techniques were deduced by Tian Yanzhu.

The Yuanying-level escape techniques were deduced by referring to many techniques of Changchun Sect and Jinyuan Sect.

Wind Shadow Divine Travel is suitable for use on the ground.

When performing this technique, if there is wind to help you run, you can take a step of more than 100 feet, which is faster than the running of Wu Zun.

And the stronger the wind, the faster the speed of Fengying Shenxing.

The technique of soaring clouds is an auxiliary to the technique of controlling weapons.

When performing the technique of soaring clouds, a spiritual cloud can be gathered around the magic weapon.

In this way, the speed of performing the technique of controlling weapons is faster, and it is no problem to run at full speed and travel thousands of miles at night.

Of course, the consumption of true energy is also greater.

Even if Lin Chen's true energy is strong, he can't perform the technique of soaring clouds all night.

"These two techniques make up for my lack of speed."

"Practice more, just complement the earth escape technique, and have more means to chase or save my life in the future."

Lin Chen thought about it, left Changchun Mountain Market, and flew hundreds of miles away.

He found a deserted mountain and began to practice these two techniques.

The escape technique is different from the general technique, and it requires a wider environment to practice.

In this deserted mountain, Lin Chen practiced his escape speed over and over again, making rapid progress.

...

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

On this day, Lin Chen came to a natural cave in the deserted mountain.

There was a lot of fog and lush trees in this deserted mountain, and even the spiritual sense of the cultivators was extremely difficult to find.

"Yes, this place is very suitable!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly. In the past two months, while he was practicing the escape technique, he couldn't help but think of the plan from a few years ago.

- Underground fortress!

Develop a large enough safe place deep enough underground.

Now the situation between the righteous and the evil is becoming increasingly tense, and hundreds of cultivators die on the front line every day...

In addition, Li Tianhan had said before that the True Lord Demon Sect would flourish for 112 years, so Lin Chen had to be on guard.

"However, how deep should we dig underground to be safe?"

Lin Chen touched his chin and thought.

"The Nine-turn Golden Core cultivator has a spiritual sense of only 20 miles..."

"The early stage of the Nascent Soul, the spiritual sense is 50 miles... The peak of the Nascent Soul, the spiritual sense is 300 miles!"

"There is a high possibility that there are old Nascent Soul monsters in the Demon Sect, and I don't even know whether it is the late or early stage of the Nascent Soul..."

"To be on the safe side, we must dig at least 300 miles."

Lin Chen murmured.

But he thought again, what if the True Lord of Transformation also got involved?

"The True Lord of Transformation, that has a spiritual sense of a thousand miles!"

"Simply go all out and dig this safe place a thousand miles underground!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and performed the Earth Escape Technique.

A layer of earth-colored light appeared on his skin, covering Lin Chen's whole body.

"Earth escape technique, earth walking!"

Wrapped in this earth-colored light, Lin Chen sank into the ground.

Like a fish entering water, the soil underground only had slight resistance for him.

Lin Chen exerted force with his legs and continued to run towards the ground.

This is the second magical power of the earth escape technique, earth walking!

It is more mysterious than the digging technique.

The digging technique allows cultivators to quickly open up space underground.

And the earth walking technique allows Lin Chen to run freely underground.

But this earth walking technique also has limitations.

Just like there is great pressure in deep water.

That is, the deeper the underground, the greater the pressure.

Although the light of the earth escape technique allows Lin Chen to greatly reduce this pressure, the pressure still exists.

The physique of an ordinary Jindan cultivator can easily dive to a depth of a thousand feet underground by performing the earth escape technique.

But for Lin Chen, diving into a depth of ten thousand feet underground is not a problem.

So, Lin Chen used the earth-moving technique and continued to drill underground.

Hundred feet, thousand feet, ten thousand feet...

Thirty thousand feet!

It took Lin Chen an hour to reach the ground thirty thousand feet deep.

At this time, the huge pressure from the ground made Lin Chen feel a little difficult to resist.

"Huh, it's almost here..."

Lin Chen used the digging technique again and dug out a space thirty thousand feet deep underground.

This space is not big, only about two meters high, one meter long and wide.

It is just enough for an adult to hide in it.

"Huh, with my current strength, I can't dive into the ground a thousand miles deep in one breath."

"So, I must use this space to rest for a while."

"After the underground safety is dug out, I also need to pass through these spaces to rest for a while."

Lin Chen stayed in this cave and slightly recovered his true essence and magic power.

Thirty thousand feet deep underground is two hundred miles underground.

At this depth, even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator is unlikely to find it.

Although his spiritual sense was sufficient, which Yuanying cultivator would have nothing to do and use his spiritual sense to scan the ground everywhere?

After resting for a while, Lin Chen continued to perform the earth-walking technique and drilled into the ground.

This time, Lin Chen went deep into the ground for another ten thousand feet.

After that, every ten thousand feet, Lin Chen would open up an underground space for rest.

...

Late at night on the second day.

After working for two days and one night, Lin Chen finally stopped.

He used the digging technique and easily dug out a safe place with a radius of ten feet.

Looking at the dark underground, Lin Chen murmured:

"Huh, this thousand-mile deep underground is finally safe..."

"But... although it is a safe house, you should live better."

Lin Chen thought about it and performed the digging technique again.

After a while, this space became a safe house with a height of ten feet and a radius of ten feet.

Lin Chen took out some nuclear-powered lamps and hung them on the wall.

Soon, the dark underground became bright again.

Lin Chen looked at the spacious safe house and nodded slightly:

"If we really encounter an invincible enemy, this underground safe house will be our trump card to save our lives!"

"At that time, we will have to hide underground for a year or two, so the living conditions cannot be too harsh."

"Spirit gathering array, breath-suppressing prohibition, entertainment facilities... these must be arranged."

After a pause, Lin Chen continued:

"One underground safe house like this is definitely not enough... it would be best if there were dozens or hundreds of them."

"One will be set up every hundred miles, which will almost cover the entire Righteous Alliance... In this way, when I encounter danger, I can quickly escape to the nearest safe house."

Lin Chen did what he said.

So for the next period of time, in addition to his daily practice, Lin Chen would set aside some time every day to dig holes underground.

And every time he returned to Blue Star, Lin Chen would bring back some items, such as some entertainment facilities and daily necessities...

...

Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Thousands of miles underground, in an underground safe house on the border of Yanlai Country

Lin Chen placed thousands of medium-grade spirit stones around him.

At the same time, he activated the concealment formation to ensure that the breath of breakthrough would not leak out.

After making all the preparations, Lin Chen officially prepared to break through.

As the Soul Devouring Spirit Root operated, the spiritual energy in the spirit stones poured into Lin Chen's Dantian.

One night passed...

Thousands of spirit stones turned into powder, and the true essence in Lin Chen's Dantian was filled again.

Then, it was time to compress and purify the true essence...

So, another three days passed.

When Lin Chen looked inward, he saw that in his dantian, a transparent mist-like silk appeared on the flawless golden elixir.

At this point, the fourth-turn golden elixir was completed!

"Finally, I broke through to the middle stage of the golden elixir!"

Lin Chen smiled, and the middle stage of the golden elixir... made the true essence in his body increase by more than 30%!

"Now, my true essence and mana should not be much worse than that of an ordinary nine-turn golden elixir..."

Lin Chen murmured.

An ordinary nine-turn golden elixir refers to the ninth grade of the middle-grade golden elixir quality.

But compared with the nine-turn golden elixir cultivators of the seventh and eighth grade golden elixir quality, there is still a little gap.

"Well, it seems that this thousand miles deep underground is also safe enough..."

"The fluctuation of breaking through the middle-grade golden elixir did not cause much movement."

Lin Chen slowly stood up and looked at the safe house with satisfaction.

After a year of improvement, all kinds of facilities are available in this safe house.

Several protective arrays, concealment arrays, spirit gathering arrays...

Entertainment facilities, training equipment...

There is even a large LCD screen.

Don't get me wrong, this screen is not for entertainment.

It is to receive the shared images of the martial arts puppet at any time...

In this way, even if Lin Chen is squatting thousands of miles underground, he can always understand the outside world through the martial arts puppet.

And there are 82 such safe houses in the entire Righteous Alliance!

"Successful breakthrough, it's time to go out..."
