Chapter 2173 - 2174: Seeking Medicine
Moreover, the most important thing is that Tao Yuyu was the elder disciple who previously confronted Lin Chen in the hall.This person's penchant for shielding others is well-known, and since Lin Chen did not show him a good face previously in the hall, brought him embarrassment, it's likely that this matter will not end easily with that elder.
Even though Tao Yuyu may have concerns, the elder behind him will not let Lin Chen go. This adds to the dangers faced by Lin Chen.
"It's alright, when soldiers come, I will face them; when water comes, I will cover it with earth. Even if the time is pushed forward, I still have time to enhance my strength."
Lin Chen spoke reassuringly, his delicate face bursting with strong confidence.
Although previously, his strength was significantly lower than Tao Yuyu's, now his cultivation progress is rapid, added to Wang Hao's remarkable sword skills, and more time available, how could he fear?
"That's true, but your current strength is still somewhat low; you must think of some methods."
Chen Jie furrowed her brows slightly. Before going to the spiritual realm, Tao Yuyu's strength already had the ninth level of the Spirit Pill realm, and if he made a breakthrough this time, it could lead to a qualitative leap that cannot be ignored!
Besides, there are also two other people, none of whom are easy to deal with. Considering all of these factors, in any case, Lin Chen is at a disadvantage.
"Naturally, I've always been striving to enhance my strength, haven't I?" Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders lightly.
"It really is true, to be honest, I've never seen such a cultivation enthusiast like you."
At this moment, Sun Tianming spoke up, knowing Lin Chen the longest, and clearly understanding Lin Chen's efforts. Apart from the necessary daily tasks like eating, his mind is almost entirely focused on cultivation, as if he was born for it.
"But this is still not enough, the timing is too tight, Lin Chen's current strength compared to Tao Yuyu still seems somewhat weak, so the safest method now is to find some pills to trigger the potential within his body to the greatest extent..."
After a moment of thought, Chen Jie spoke.
"Pills?" Lin Chen furrowed his brows slightly, asking curiously, "Will this not have any negative effects on improving strength?"
Every medicine contains poison, Lin Chen didn't believe that there could be such good things in the world to simply improve his strength, so he was quite skeptical.
"The so-called improvement in strength is just a term. Actually, the function of the pills is not to enhance directly, but to greatly improve your perception and absorption capabilities over a period."
"In this way, it greatly benefits the absorption of Spiritual Energy, such a method won't have too much negative effect, and at most, your body will feel a bit exhausted after cultivation, which can be relieved after a few hours of rest."
"Yet the benefits of taking pills far outweigh the side effects."
"That's indeed true." Sun Tianming nodded in agreement.
Having stayed in the sect for quite a while, he not only knows about these pills but has also taken them before, so the benefits need not be stated.
"I see."
Lin Chen nodded slightly, the frown on his brows gradually relaxed, if it's as Chen Jie said, it would indeed bring great improvement in strength.
"So where can such pills be found?" Lin Chen asked again.
"That's not difficult, as long as you have the ingredients. These pills are easy to concoct. It's just that some of the herbs..." Chen Jie coughed lightly, covering her mouth.
"You need to find them yourself, it's to prevent the sect's disciples from developing bad habits. For any pill concoction, you must provide your own herbs. So these herbs, you need to search for them yourself."
"To obtain something, you must first contribute something. This could be considered a test from the sect..." Chen Jie paused for a moment, explaining somewhat awkwardly.
"This sect has quite a few unreasonable rules..."
Lin Chen muttered softly, but after pondering briefly, he still decided to search for the herbs Chen Jie mentioned because the temptation was significant.
Chen Jie seemed to have anticipated his decision, so she had prepared the list of necessary herbs and their brief characteristics in advance, handing them to Lin Chen, and then reminded him: "Some of these herbs are easy to find, but this one, Spirit Fruit, you need to be extra careful, there might be spiritual beasts guarding it."
Lin Chen glanced at the note, where indeed there was an introduction about the Spirit Fruit.
The herb, as its name suggests, has potent spiritual properties, growing in fiery places, named after the bright red flames fruit produced between its leaves.
This is the complete opposite of the Ice Grass he found before, but the last incident left a deep impression on him, especially the fierce beasts in the cold pond.
After hearing Chen Jie's advice, he thought that must refer to the so-called guardian beasts.
Lin Chen kept the note safely, nodded slightly, as it was still early, he didn't wish to linger here any longer.
So he got up, gently clasped his fists to several individuals beside him to bid farewell, and prepared to leave.
Seeing them at this place, Lin Chen felt somewhat relieved, as this was Chen Jie's residence, no disciple would dare to intrude recklessly.
As Lin Chen walked, he happened to pass by the scripture pavilion, gazing at the tall building, he considered for a moment, and then walked inside.
Thinking he should inform Wang Hao, otherwise if Wang Hao comes looking for him and finds he's not in the cave, he might think Lin Chen couldn't endure the difficulty, which would be a great loss.
Besides, during this time, Lin Chen found Wang Hao's sword skills to be fascinating, if mastered deeply, his strength could significantly improve to another level.
The familiar five-story scripture pavilion, not seen for a few days, Wang Hao's demeanor did not match the elegance from when he came out, but rather reverted to his usual appearance.
His dirty clothes were covered in grease, and his beard had grown long due to neglect, from a distance, it seemed like black spots had grown.
Lin Chen walked over quietly, bowing slightly to Wang Hao, after some contemplation, he gently said: "Teacher."
It wasn't excessive to address him this way, for imparting skills.
Wang Hao was startled out of his book, his eyes puzzled, then regaining clarity upon seeing Lin Chen, he said: "This 'teacher' can be spared, it's still a bit early for such talk."
"Why have you come to find me now, do you feel your foundation is solid now?" Wang Hao arched his brow slightly and asked again.
"Not yet, but I should be ready after some time. This time I've come mainly to say goodbye, I'll be away for a few days." Lin Chen replied honestly.
