Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 42 The Number One Traitor in the Cultivation World Returns to Earth! (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On!)

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen looked at his master with a puzzled expression.

But then Han Jihai sighed and said:

"Sigh, if your second senior brother only liked traveling and sightseeing, that would be one thing... but he just happens to love slaying demons and monsters..."

"It's one thing to love slaying demons and monsters, but to be so overconfident!"

"Back when he was in the early stages of Qi Refining, he kept clamoring to go down the mountain to slay demons and monsters, but he ended up in a den of thieves... If I hadn't personally gone to rescue him, he'd probably be buried a long way off by now!"

Upon hearing this, Cen Wushan smiled shyly and quickly added:

"Master, things are different now! I am now a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"Look at this den of cultivators spanning hundreds of miles... who doesn't know the name of the Hermit of Wushan?"

Cen Wushan looked somewhat proud; he had admired chivalrous knights-errant since childhood.

After cultivating immortality, he took it upon himself to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path.

Han Jihai snorted coldly and said:

"How can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator secure a place for himself? Those Tribulation Cultivators are simply afraid of my Changchun Sect and don't want to provoke you!"

"If you're not careful one day, you might die in the den of the traitors!"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Cen Wushan quickly spat twice and said with a wry smile:

"Master, I've just returned... Could you please be a little more considerate of my words?"

Han Jihai then said:

"It's good that you're back. Don't go out for a while... I'm currently teaching your junior brother the art of spiritual plants, so you can give him some pointers as well!"

Upon hearing this, Cen Wushan quickly nodded and said:

"Good master, on this long trip... I found you quite a few precious spirit seeds!"

"Really! My good disciple... quickly show it to your master!" Han Jihai's attitude immediately changed.

Seeing this, Lin Chen sighed and smiled wryly.

It truly is a lineage passed down through generations; his master was quite a remarkable person.

However, it is said that Danfeng of Changchun Sect should not be at the bottom of the four peaks. After all, in Lin Chen's opinion, Danfeng's heritage is not bad.

However, the Danfeng lineage has never liked fighting and prefers to honestly farm.

Therefore, its reputation is not well-known, and it has been passed down in the same lineage for hundreds of years.

When it came to Han Jihai's generation, he wanted to revitalize Danfeng when he was young, so he took on three apprentices.

Unfortunately, his eldest apprentice, Mikey, was a heavy drinker.

According to Han Jihai, his alchemy skills were so-so, but he always got into trouble by drinking too much.

Sure enough, Lin Chen had only seen his senior sister a few times in the half month since he arrived at Danfeng. Most of the time, she was catching up on sleep in her room after a hangover.

Second Senior Brother Cen Wushan possesses dual spiritual roots of water and earth. He is not skilled in alchemy, but he has a great talent in the field of spiritual plants.

However, he was always traveling and enjoying himself, and couldn't stay still for more than a few days a year at Danfeng.

As for the third senior brother...

Lin Chen has not met him yet.

However, according to Master, the third senior brother had the best aptitude, but he was a hopeless gambler...

He spends all his time in the gambling den.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt a pang of heartache as he looked at his master's retreating figure.

"Sigh, what sins has Master committed! He took in four disciples, and not one of them is a normal person..."

"If my three senior brothers and sisters can't do it, that's fine, but as for me..."

"Strictly speaking, am I an undercover agent?... Given my background, I'm afraid I could earn the reputation of being the number one traitor in the cultivation world!"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Lin Chen spent the entire afternoon working in the fields with his master and second senior brother.

Second Senior Brother truly lives up to his reputation as having dual spiritual roots in water and soil; he is indeed quite knowledgeable in the field of spiritual plants.

This benefited Lin Chen greatly.

Dinner was plentiful until the busy period was over.

In addition to the usual spiritual vegetables and rice, Han Jihai even slaughtered a spiritual chicken and bought a large piece of spiritual pork.

I made a bowl of braised pork...

He thoroughly enjoyed his meal.

At night, after Lin Chen finished digesting the spiritual food, his Qi and blood levels increased again...

Qi and blood value has exceeded 40 points!

I'm getting closer and closer to reaching the Samurai level.

After finishing his breathing exercises, Lin Chen practiced the Evergreen Technique for a while.

Lin Chen frowned slightly after sensing the wood-elemental true essence within his body.

"The Evergreen Technique is still at the early stage of the third level... At this rate, it will probably take almost another month to advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining."

Lin Chen was referring to his own one month of cultivation, which is equivalent to half a month in the cultivation world or on Earth.

"However, the fourth level of Qi Refining is a significant dividing line... Reaching this level signifies entering the mid-stage of Qi Refining!"

"Both my true essence and magical power will be greatly improved, and I'll also be able to fly briefly on my magical artifact..."

After a pause, Lin Chen thought expectantly:

"Of course, most importantly... at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one can project their divine sense outwards!"

Releasing one's divine sense is a powerful technique for cultivators, and also a watershed moment.

A cultivator who can project their divine sense is like having ears, nose, eyes, and mouth outside their body, allowing them to observe subtle movements within the range of their divine sense.

Whether it's alchemy, weapon control, combat, or survival, divine sense is crucial.

Of course, the spiritual sense of a Qi Refining cultivator is still weak; even if one cultivates to the point of Qi Refining perfection, it is only a few tens of meters long.

Even so, it was enough for Lin Chen.

After finishing his cultivation, Lin Chen patted the spirit beast bag again.

The petite purple flame serpent emerged from the bag, coiled around Lin Chen's palm, and stared at him curiously.

"She's actually quite cute..."

Lin Chen unleashed a wisp of wood-elemental true essence.

Upon seeing this, the little snake's eyes lit up slightly, and it quickly swallowed the food.

Even after consuming the true essence, the little snake was still not satisfied and continued to stare at Lin Chen with its eyes open.

Lin Chen sighed and took out a spirit beast pill.

The purple flame serpent immediately recognized its treasure and devoured it with great relish.

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled slightly and said:

"Although you're all dark-skinned now, Master says you'll turn purple in the future..."

"In that case, I'll call you Little Purple!"

Little Purple had a great appetite. After eating its fill, it dozed off again, and Lin Chen put it into his spirit beast bag.

"The Purple Flame Serpent can not only assist in alchemy, but will also help its master in battle in the future..."

"But the cost of feeding them is quite high; even the most basic spirit beast pills cost ten spirit stones a bottle... not to mention the high-grade spirit beast pills!"

Lin was somewhat helpless. He already lacked cultivation resources, and with Xiao Zi around, the pressure was even greater!

"Sigh, I only have a little over sixty spirit stones left... I need to get on the agenda as soon as possible to find a way to earn more spirit stones!"

"I should go to the Crafting Pavilion to learn two weapon-refining techniques; it's time to try my hand at weapon refining..."

Lin Chen rubbed his temples, lost in thought.

Weapons and armor from Earth are very popular in the cultivation world.

However, it is inconvenient for him to sell them directly at the moment, and Changchun Gate is only so big; if he sells weapons, it will inevitably attract attention.

"Speaking of which, besides the disciples of the Changchun Sect, the market town at the foot of Changchun Mountain also hosts quite a few independent cultivators!"

"If I had the right weapons, I might be able to make a move in the market..."

Lin Chen continued along this line of thought:

"Although the market town is close to Changchun Mountain, we still need to make more preparations before going down the mountain..."

"Let's go check out the market town down the mountain after we reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining!"

After considering his future plans, Lin Chen continued his cultivation for a while longer.

As dawn broke, he glanced at the countdown on his arm.

The next time travel is coming soon!

"Three...two..."

"one!"

Lin Chen's gaze shifted.
