Seeing Lin Yue break in, Zhan Chen felt that something was about to happen, and subconsciously said to Lin Wusheng: "Master, then I will retire first." ”

Lin Yue said, "Zhan Chen, don't go, give me a comment." ”

Zhan Chen was surprised: "What the hell is going on?"

Lin Yue said: "My father wants to take a concubine, he and my mother have been relying on each other since childhood, never abandoned, I really don't know what happened recently, I want to marry a woman from the land of smoke and willows to enter the door!"

Lin Wusheng was furious and yelled at her: "Yue'er, don't be rude, don't worry about my affairs!"

Lin Yue was even more excited, and asked, "Why? I'm your daughter, and I have an extra stepmother for some reason, can I not be excited?"

Lin Wusheng said coldly: "Hmph, I am the head of the family, it is my freedom to marry a few wives, none of you have the right to interfere, and your mother's status in my Lin family has not changed at all, I really don't understand what you have to be excited about." ”

Lin Yue looked at Zhan Chen and asked, "Zhan Chen, you tell me, is it right for my father to do this?"

Zhan Chen touched his nose and said, "Sister Lin Yue, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and even some women have several Taoist couples, this has long been a strange thing in the immortal cultivation world, and I will not tell you, I also have several, so I have no say in this matter." ”

Lin Yue's eyes were full of disappointment, and she exclaimed: "You men are all raccoon dogs, you can do dirty things casually for your own selfish desires, I am really disappointed in you!"

After saying that, she turned her head and left, Zhan Chen was about to chase after her, but Lin Wusheng shouted: "Zhan Chen, let her go, besides, you are also an outsider, so it is not suitable to meddle in my family's affairs." ”

Zhan Chen said, "But-"

"It's nothing, aren't you still going to Dange? ”

Zhan Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still replied, "Yes!" After leaving Lin Wusheng's mansion, he went directly to the Dan Pavilion and met Lin Xiaohan.

When Lin Xiaohan saw Zhan Chen, he was overjoyed and said, "Zhan Chen, it's so good that you came, have you finally graduated from the martial arts?"

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know if you are willing to accept me." ”

"Hahaha, I said it, as soon as you come, I will officially appoint you as an alchemist of our Dan Pavilion, and the monthly salary is three thousand medium-grade star stones, what do you think. ”

"Three thousand medium-grade star stones, this is too much!" Zhan Chen exclaimed.

"Is this more? You don't know how important an alchemist is to the Lin family, I'm talking about it too little, if you go out to earn money on your own, it will definitely be more than this number a month. ”

Zhan Chen nodded, he was right.

"Zhan Chen, do a good job, I will give you a raise. ”

"Elder Lin, I'm here to learn technology, and I don't care how much I get paid. ”

"Okay, that's what you think. Zhan Chen, you have a place to live now. ”

Zhan Chen was slightly stunned and said, "Not yet." ”

"Hehe, that's right, let's live in our Dan Pavilion, most of our alchemists here live in the surrounding houses, and you see we have dozens of attics here, and they are very generous, you can settle down in any place. ”

"I'm new to the city, and I don't know where to fit. ”

"Then I'll arrange a place for you to live. How about you live in the back of this alchemy room?"

"I don't care. ”

"Okay, I'll take you there, come with me. ”

Lin Xiaohan brought Zhan Chen to the back of the alchemy room, where there stood a majestic nine-story building, more than twenty meters high, he brought Zhan Chen into the pavilion, selected one of the rooms and said to Zhan Chen: "You can live here in the future, if you need anything, just tell me." ”

"Thank you, Elder. ”

"Okay, I still have something to deal with, so I won't accompany you, you can take a look at the house yourself, you won't come to me for alchemy today, you will come back early tomorrow morning, and I will introduce you to other people when the time comes." ”

"Elder, please come back, don't worry about me. ”

So Lin Xiaohan left, and Zhan Chen began to observe his new home alone, this room has more than 500 square meters, divided into eight rooms, large and small, in addition to the cultivation room, there is also an alchemy room of nearly 100 square meters, which is much more luxurious and advanced than the dormitory he lived in.

Zhan Chen was very satisfied, and he didn't enter the cultivation state right away, but tidied up the room first, and then rested for a night.

Early the next morning, he came to the alchemy room, and saw that there were a lot of people here today, Lin Xiaohan saw him coming, and immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, come and concentrate, I want to introduce a newcomer to you today." ”

Everyone gathered in front of him, looking at Zhan Chen curiously, Lin Xiaohan introduced: "This is our new alchemist Zhan Chen, maybe some of you have already seen him and have practiced Dan with him, but today is different, he has officially become an alchemist of our Lin family." ”

Then, Lin Xiaohan introduced the twenty-eight people present to Zhan Chen one by one, in fact, most of the people here Zhan Chen already knew each other, because he often came to the Dan Pavilion to help, but there were still a few fresh faces, maybe Lin Xiaohan could summon them.

After the introduction, Lin Xiaohan said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, the cultivation of the people here is almost the same as yours, between the eight-star and nine-star quasi-star realms, you are all on the same starting line, so there is no need to be stressed." ”

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I will try my best to learn from all the seniors here." ”

"Alright, let's start arranging today's alchemy tasks. ”

......

Since then, Zhan Chen has settled down in the Dan Pavilion and become an alchemist, he immediately realized how correct his choice was, being an alchemist not only earns a lot of money, but he is also appreciated by Lin Xiaohan, who will often reward him with some powerful pills.

And being an alchemist in the Lin family was far easier than he originally thought, because the Dan Pavilion adopted a shift system, and it would take turns once a year, which meant that Zhan Chen was alchemy this year, and he could go on vacation next year, so that he would also have more time to cultivate.

Zhan Chen tried his best to absorb alchemy knowledge like the sea, and at the same time tried to improve his cultivation, striving not to waste every second, but after ten years, he felt that his cultivation had not increased much, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

Once, he went to visit Lin Xiaohan and pretended to ask inadvertently, "Elder, there is one thing that has been confusing me. ”

Lin Xiaohan asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"I've been cultivating for ten years, and I've taken a lot of pills that you gave me, but I found that my cultivation hasn't increased much, why is that?"

Lin Xiaohan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, you are in a hurry, I know that you want to break through the Earth Star Realm quickly, but do you know? Even the most genius task in the history of our Lin family, Lin Wusheng, it took 10,000 years to break through from the Nine-Star Quasi-Star Realm to the Earth Star Realm, and Lin Wusheng did not lack the support of various pills back then, but it still took so long to break through, do you know why?"

"Why?" Zhan Chen couldn't help asking.

"Because, the Earth Star Realm means that a cultivator has officially become an astral magician, which is a milestone in the path of cultivation, and to cross this step, one must pay a hard price. ”

"It will take 10,000 years, but I have only been in the Lin Family Martial Hall for five hundred years and have broken through three small realms in a row, is the gap between the Earth Star Realm and the Quasi-Star Realm so big?"

"Yes, let me tell you this, it takes 100,000 years for ordinary geniuses to break through from the nine-star crosshairs realm to the earth-star realm, and most people have never taken this step in their lives, so you will see that the streets are full of quasi-star realm powerhouses, but you can't find a earth-star realm powerhouse. Lin Wusheng is a super genius, so he can break through in such a short period of time. ”

"10,000 years, 100,000 years, that seems very far away to me. ”

"Hehe, Zhan Chen, if I'm not mistaken, you are also nearly 500,000 years old, for us time is just a number, what is the difference between 10,000 years, 100,000 years and one day? ”

Hearing his remarks, Zhan Chen couldn't help but sigh and said, "According to what you mean, I'm too eager for quick success?"

"Yes, cultivation is a long-term thing, with your current progress, I estimate that you will be able to break through the Earth Star Realm in fifty or sixty thousand years, after all, you are an alchemist, even if you rely on a steady stream of pills, you can also pile up cultivation. ”

"As long as you take more pills like Tiger Pill, you can consolidate your cultivation, right? ”

Lin Xiaohan shook his head and said, "Zhan Chen, you have already taken more than a dozen Tiger Spirit Pills." ”

"You have given me fourteen of them. ”

"So how do you feel about taking this elixir?"

"The first eight were very effective, but from the ninth onwards the effect began to halve. ”

"Yes, the Tiger Pill will be of less and less help to you, and even eventually lose its effectiveness, not only the Tiger Pill but as far as I know, similar pills will be the same. However, the universe is very large, and I don't know where there are other magical elixirs that can continue to help you consolidate your cultivation. ”

"Then I have to accumulate cultivation in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Yes, Zhan Chen, you have worked hard in the past few years, five years from now it will be our Lin family martial arts competition, at that time, whether it is our Lin family's descendants or collateral lines, many masters will be sent to participate, I think our Dan Pavilion will be represented by you as the party representative, and you can also take this opportunity to further consolidate your cultivation." ”

"Lin Family Martial Arts Competition, is there such a thing?" Zhan Chen felt curious.

"Why not? Taihao Star is the weak, no matter where he goes, strength is supreme, even in our Lin family. ”

"The Lin family's martial arts competition is only held once every five hundred years, and if you win the first place in the competition, you can also get rich rewards for all the powerhouses in the Earth Star Realm within the family!"
