Chapter 34: The Old Man in the Valley
"Is this the power of the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty? It is really far from the early stage of the Kaiyuan Dynasty!" Lin Chen clasped his hands tightly, closed his eyes and carefully felt the Yuan Force circulating in his body. The abundant yuan force circulates in the veins and veins, constantly nourishing the cells. Lin Chen felt that he seemed to have infinite strength, and at this time, even if a monk from the late Kaiyuan period stood in front of him, he would dare to fight.
In fact, what Lin Chen didn't know was that the berry he persuaded to eat this time was called Canglan Fruit, which belonged to the second-order second-grade elixir. The elixir is divided into five orders and ten grades, corresponding to the five realms of the monks. Generally speaking, monks mostly take the same level of elixir, or high-grade and low-grade elixir. If the quality of the elixir is too high or too low, it will not work.
Like Lin Chen, who took the spirit fruit of the early stage of Juyuan in the realm of the early Kaiyuan Dynasty, if it weren't for the fact that the spirit fruit was not yet ripe and the medicinal power was not fully exerted, Lin Chen would have already exploded and died. But even so, Lin Chen just now almost exploded and died due to excess medicinal power.
However, the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and Lin Chen will have a blessing if he does not die. Because Lin Chen broke countless muscles and veins all over his body when he took Canglan Fruit, and forcibly impacted the next realm. On the contrary, it made him advance to the middle of the Kaiyuan period by mistake, and his physical body also transformed again. The meridians in the body have widened, and the meridian barriers have become much stronger, and the strength of the physical body is comparable to that of the demon beasts in the early stage of quenching.
However, this result also led to the fact that when Lin Chen advanced in the future, the realm barrier he faced would be much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it would be much more difficult than ordinary people to advance to the next realm. However, these are no longer what Lin Chen needs to think about now, and it is a good thing to be able to survive. I believe that even if he comes back for the second time, Lin Chen will still make the same choice.
"Is nirvana transformed? Hey, the old man has been waiting for more than ten years, but in the end he still makes wedding dresses for others, everything is fate!" An old man's voice floated out gently, as if he was sighing, as if he was complaining.
"Who?" Lin Chen opened his eyes suddenly, vigilantly looking in the direction where the voice came from. Although I was feeling the changes in my body just now, I was never really aware of my surroundings. On the contrary, Lin Chen's hearing and eyesight were much higher than before due to his advanced mid-Kaiyuan period, but he still couldn't find the other party, which can only show a problem, the strength of the person who came far surpassed Lin Chen.
"Little brother asked me who I am? I haven't asked why my little brother is here all of a sudden, and why did he steal my treasure?" Lin Chen could see, and an old man with white hair and a long cloth shirt and gown suddenly turned out from behind a towering ancient tree.
The old man did not tie his hair in a bun, and his short gray hair reached just above his shoulders. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, face like white jade, although the robe is not expensive, but it is also clean and refreshing.
"In Xia Lin Chen, I don't know who your friend is, why are you here?" Lin Chen knew that this person was by no means simple, otherwise he would not be so close to him, but he didn't notice it. However, the other party should not seem to have malicious intent, even if it is not known whether they are friend or foe. But at least the other party didn't make a move as soon as they met, which is already a good start. Lin Chen has just advanced to the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty now, even if his strength has increased greatly, no one wants to provoke a strong enemy for no reason. Moreover, what Lin Chen needed most now was to consolidate the realm, not to fight with others.
"Hehe, in Xia Zhu Yuanzheng, it's been more than ten years here!As for why you're here, hehe, Xiaoyou, let's put on your clothes first" The old man took out a clean set of clothes from the Na Yuan ring on the middle finger of his right hand and threw them to Lin Chen, nodding secretly in his heart.
"Uh, thank you!" Lin Chen didn't realize until this time that he was completely **, naked. Fortunately, the other party is also a man, otherwise it would be embarrassing. Lin Chen took the old man's clothes and quickly put them on with a red face. Although the clothes look a little fat, they can always cover the shame.
Hearing this, Lin Chen was also relieved in his heart. To be honest, Lin Chen faced this sudden appearance of Zhu Yuanzheng, and the other party put a lot of pressure on him. This feeling Lin Chen had only experienced before when facing the master of Emperor Hunting, and now that he was facing this old man, he also had this kind of pressure, didn't it mean that this old man was actually a master of the Juyuan Period. As soon as he thought of this, Lin Chen suddenly became vigilant, although he seemed to be wearing clothes, in fact, the corner of his eye never left the other party for half a minute.
"Senior Zhu, thank you" Lin Chen could roughly see that this person was not malicious, but as the saying goes, it is indispensable to guard against others, so even if Lin Chen took other people's things, he did not have the slightest intention of getting close to the other party. Moreover, the strength of the other party is far beyond his own, and rushing over may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Of course, Lin Chen's small actions were naturally seen by Zhu Yuanzheng, but he only smiled secretly and didn't really take it to heart. If Lin Chen really felt lax because of a piece of clothing, and even took the initiative to approach him, then he would inevitably have some speculation and contempt for Lin Chen.
"Lin Xiaoyou, now I can talk about why I am here, and why I stole my spirit fruit."
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then a little embarrassed. Not only did he take other people's clothes, but now he also eats the spiritual fruits cultivated by others. Lin Chen has never been an unreasonable person, but for those who are kind to him, most of them are a little bit of grace and a spring of retribution.
"Ahem, this thing is like this" Lin Chen coughed dryly, barely resolving his embarrassment, and then explained how he fell off the cliff if he accidentally ate the berries. However, Lin Chen also kept an eye on it, and except for saying some innocuous words about his identity and background, any other useful information was revealed.
"Oh, listening to Lin Xiaoyou say this, he was unintentionally forced to pick the old man's spirit fruit, so I can't blame Xiaoyou entirely."
"Hehe, thank you for your understanding. I'm really sorry that I had to do it at the time!"
"But Lin Xiaoyou, even if you have to eat the old man's spirit fruit as a last resort, if you don't want to pay any price, isn't it a little unreasonable?" Zhu Yuanzheng squinted his eyes and said lightly. He is not so good at talking, the spirit fruit that he has worked hard to protect for more than ten years was suddenly snatched away by a stranger, if he really stopped pursuing it because Lin Chen was forced to say a word, I am afraid Lin Chen himself would not believe it.
"This is naturally as it should be, I don't know how Zhu Daoyou wants to compensate for it? However, Lin Chen is by no means a good stubble, and what he said just now has already shown that if the other party wants to do it, he will never sit still.
"Hahaha, Lin Xiaoyou is quick to talk!, but you can rest assured, if the old man wants to take your life, he has already made a move just now, so why wait until this time!"
"I don't know"
"I want Lin Xiaoyou to return to Tiger City with me to assist me in completing my plan"
"Tiger City?" Lin Chen had never heard of this place, but there was no need for the other party to coax him with a non-existent city, and it made no sense to do so. Lin Chen didn't bother with this city, and instead said, "Daoyou Zhu, in my eyes, your old strength is definitely in the Juyuan Period, or even higher. According to your strength, it is not easy to recruit some people whose strength is much higher than mine, why did you fall in love with Lin?"
"Hehe, you're quite cautious" Zhu Yuanzheng didn't laugh angrily, what he needed was this kind of thoughtful person, if he was just looking for a thug, he really wouldn't look down on Lin Chen. "The situation in Tiger City is far from being as simple as you think, although we also live within the scope of Tiger City, but the family residence is outside the city, and the big forces in the city are far from what our small families can imagine. Okay, you'll find out when you get there and ask a little bit. I'm just asking you now, are you willing to do the old man this favor?"
"Hehe, do you think there is still room for refusal in the future!" Lin Chen smiled bitterly, this Zhu Yuanzheng seemed to be asking for his own opinion, but if he really dared to refuse, I am afraid that before the words fell, the other party would have to make a move.
"Hahaha yes, you really don't have a choice! Don't worry, as long as you help me complete this plan, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
At the same time, on the other side, out of nowhere, a man in a black robe stepped on a rusty iron sword, his eyes flashed from time to time, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth, shuttling through the starry sky.
"Have you advanced to the middle of the Kaiyuan period? Hehe, but it's still a lot worse than you used to. At the current pace, it's almost just right! Hehe, I've been waiting for millions of you for this moment! Now it's finally going to be a result! Hehe."
The man laughed a few times, and the rusty sword under his feet disappeared in a few flashes. Looking at its direction, it is actually a sea of mass burials that no one has entered for many years!
