Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 164 Secret Room
It would be fine if you don't offend Lin Chen, but once someone offends him, he will retaliate immediately.

The key point is that Lin Chen’s means of revenge are extremely insidious.

So Qian Renxue was worried that if she teased Lin Chen in this regard, she would be scolded by Lin Chen. Qian Renxue would be happy to see Lin Chen get humiliated, but it would be a loss afterwards. It was indeed very pleasant to practice with Lin Chen, but it was obvious that the current Lin Chen was not someone she could handle by herself. At this moment, she endlessly missed the days when Hu Liena was by her side.

"Don't underestimate the auction house. The forces behind it are complicated and should not be underestimated. The same goes for the Fighting Spirit Arena. The royal family will not provoke them unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course, the Tiandou royal family also has shares in the auction house and the Fighting Spirit Arena. As for those girls, they have been raised by the auction house since they were young. Not only can they be used for auctions and to promote the auction house's reputation, they can also be used to win over forces from all sides. This world is far darker than what ordinary people see! After this batch of people are sent here, the auction house will have little inventory, and twenty more will be sent here one after another!" Qian Renxue told Lin Chen all the unknown situations.

After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lin Chen suddenly realized that light and darkness coexist in any world, and Douluo Continent is no exception to this law. People's hearts are sinister, and as long as there is profit, women can also become resources!
In response, Lin Chen just smiled helplessly. Even if he had the ability to change the world, he would not do so.

Because Lin Chen knew that even if he destroyed the auction houses and fighting arenas, there would be thousands more auction houses and fighting arenas. As long as there were interests, the darkness hidden underground would not be eliminated.

How could Qian Renxue not understand this truth?

So when Lin Chen proposed to cultivate confidants, she immediately sent these people over. Although she could not help everyone, at least she could save as many as she could.

Seeing the helplessness on Lin Chen's face, Qian Renxue smiled and said, "In fact, it is lucky for them to be sent to you. If it were someone else, who knows what kind of end they would have!"

Lin Chen nodded gently and said, "You don't have to comfort me. I'm not as saintly as you think. I'm just worried about their resources!"

The reason why these girls' martial spirits mutated was due to congenital deficiencies. Their situations were actually very similar to Yu Xiaogang's, as their martial spirits could not be fully awakened due to congenital deficiencies!

As long as they find the right direction, it is very likely that some of these girls will awaken powerful martial souls. Fortunately, their martial souls have no spirit rings attached, so everything is still in time. As long as they can fully awaken their martial souls, even if they are older now, it will not affect their future achievements.

Therefore, Lin Chen doesn't mind investing in them and cultivating a group of confidants.

What gave Lin Chen a headache was that there were too many of these people. Including the girls who had not yet been sent, the number of girls in this group would reach seventy or eighty.

Since Lin Chen has decided to train them, it will certainly not be just a simple training. Their innate abilities are insufficient, and there is no need for magical herbs to make up for their shortcomings. They only rely on their own training. Even if they are given the right spirit rings, they will definitely not achieve much in the future.

Magic herbs are already extremely precious. If so many of them are taken out at once, those in the spiritual world will definitely suffer great damage.

Lin Chen thought about it and decided to take it slow and start with ideological education. These girls’ current mental states are not very good. They tremble and are extremely terrified when they see strangers. Some girls even have empty eyes. It is obvious that living in the dark underground world for a long time has caused great trauma to their hearts.

So, let them start as maids now and do the things that palace maids do!
Hearing this, Qian Renxue didn't say anything more. She couldn't help with the resources. She had already used the magic herb that Lin Chen gave her to win people's hearts. Not only had her confidants taken the magic herb, she had also not forgotten several priests in the worship hall.

"By the way, I met Dugu Bo today. His attitude towards me has obviously softened. He also wanted to visit you. Did you know each other before?" Qian Renxue asked puzzledly.

Qian Renxue first helped Lin Chen publish a book, and Lin Chen was named a duke. In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Chen was Qian Renxue's confidant, and he had already fought against Qian Renxue. The current Tiandou royal family's fight for the throne is not complicated. The only princes left are Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng. Xue Qinghe, who is excellent in all aspects, has become the crown prince. More than half of the forces in the court support him. Not only that, even the Qibao Liuli Sect, one of the top three sects, supports Xue Qinghe.

However, there is not as much support behind the avalanche as Xue Qinghe, and the only one who can help is Prince Xue Xing.

In the early years, Xue Xing saved Dugu Bo and was grateful to him. Dugu Bo was also very loyal and reciprocated the favor. Although it was not stated explicitly, almost everyone understood that Dugu Bo was on the side of Xue Avalanche.

The appearance of Lin Chen has become a variable in Tiandou. Although no one knows Lin Chen’s true strength, his theories alone give Lin Chen a very high prestige among the people.

Lin Chen's attitude is already very clear. Xue Qinghe's contribution is obvious to all, as he was able to accept Tiandou's title.

Now that Xue Qinghe has Lin Chen's support, it seems to outsiders that Xue Qinghe will ascend the throne in the future is a sure thing.

However, Qian Renxue did not expect Dugu Bo's change in attitude. Dugu Bo had always been dismissive of Xue Qinghe before. He had clearly chosen a team, but now he showed signs of easing up, which made Qian Renxue very puzzled.

"I don't know him, but he should be..." Lin Chen told Qian Renxue about how he had collected the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

"So it seems that Dugu Bo wants to confirm whether you are the Lin Chen who left the magic grass?" Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said uncertainly.

"It should be!" Lin Chen replied.

Qian Renxue said: "Then what do you think, will Dugu Bo meet him or not?"

"Avalanche, when are you going to take action?" Lin Chen asked instead of answering!

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she replied seriously: "Avalanche will not survive this year!"

Lin Chen replied: "Then let's meet!"

Qian Renxue was delighted when she heard that. There was no need for Lin Chen to meet such an unimportant person. Now that Lin Chen was willing to meet her, Qian Renxue thought that it was completely to relieve her worries!
"Well... a reward for you!" Qian Renxue said with a smile on her face after kissing Lin Chen on the face.

"Is that all the reward?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
