"You know Night Cave Ghost Ridge inside out, so I guess you also know a lot about Corpse King Valley. You ntioned before that you couldn't get through Corpse King Valley because you were missing sothing. So, I guess you borrowed spirit stones to stock up. That Commoner's Pharmacy with all those Corpse Poison Potions must be yours," Jiang Luoyu calmly analyzed.
Lin Jichen listened and pouted, thinking, does this woman have to be so smart? Doesn't she know that n are afraid of overly intelligent won?
Any minor wrongdoing would be discovered by her. Who would dare to date her?
"You're impressive," Lin Jichen could only respond after a long pause.
Jiang Luoyu replied with a playful expression and curiously asked, "How do you know so much insider information? Are you a beta tester?"
"That's a secret, no comnt," Lin Jichen dared not reveal any more information to her.
This woman's intelligence was terrifying. She could probably deduce the truth from a single clue.
The correct approach was to communicate less with her to avoid saying too much.
After closing the chat, Lin Jichen headed to the City Administration Hall in the palace. With over a hundred thousand spirit stones and five thousand reputation points, he bought two more comrcial properties in the city in one go!
They were all future pri locations, large shops.
The price was high, and the five thousand reputation points and over a hundred thousand spirit stones were spent in an instant.
But Lin Jichen didn't feel any pain. He knew how profitable the land he bought would be in the future.
After buying the shops, Lin Jichen went to a jewelry store in the city and bought two beautiful pieces of jewelry, one for Leng Feiyan and one for Nangong Yue.
After finishing everything, he finally teleported back to Tianyan Sword Sect.
He was now quite famous in the Sword Sect.
Players would gather around him, asking him to take them as disciples, little brothers, or even sothing more intimate.
Lin Jichen was annoyed by their harassnt and quickly escaped from the outer temple branch hall, returning to the inner temple for so peace.
As soon as he returned to the inner temple, he saw Nangong Yue, who had been waiting for him in the sect.
"Junior brother, why did it take you so long to co back? I've been so bored in the sect. Did you forget sothing?" Nangong Yue stood in front of Lin Jichen, pouting her glossy red lips, looking unhappy.
Lin Jichen knew exactly what Nangong Yue was referring to and quickly comforted her.
"Of course, I rember. I said I wanted to invite Senior Sister to Fengqu City to listen to music at the theater, go shopping, and enjoy the scenery."
Nangong Yue imdiately beca shy, her eyes darting around.
"Then why... did it take you so long to co back..."
"Junior brother went to collect materials for breaking through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, so it took a while," Lin Jichen explained.
"Alright... then... when are we going to the city?" Nangong Yue asked weakly, blushing.
Lin Jichen smiled wryly. He wanted to go now, but Leng Feiyan was still waiting for him in the Sword Palace. If he didn't go, his proud and jealous master might 'expel' him.
"I'll accompany Senior Sister down the mountain as soon as I break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm."
Nangong Yue nodded in agreent and chatted with him for a while before happily leaving.
Lin Jichen then returned to the Sword Palace.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Leng Feiyan sitting in the Sect Master's seat, resting her chin on her jade-like hand, lost in thought.
"Master, your disciple has returned," Lin Jichen reminded her.
Leng Feiyan's unfocused eyes imdiately lit up, a hint of joy appearing in her deep gaze. Her rosy lips curved into a heartfelt smile.
But the next second, the smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression.
"You're back?"
"Yes," Lin Jichen hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Back so soon? You saved the Hidden Dragon Royal Family's princess, didn't they entertain you? Didn't Ji Hongyue want to make you his son-in-law?" Leng Feiyan's three consecutive questions left Lin Jichen dumbfounded.
"Of course not. I just happened to run into the princess. She wanted to invite to the palace to et her father, but I refused outright," Lin Jichen quickly explained, disdainfully adding, "Even if Ji Hongyue invited to be his son-in-law, or even the emperor, I wouldn't agree. I, Lin Jichen, am a person of the Sword Sect in life and in death. How could I agree to that?"
"Really?"
"Of course!" Lin Jichen imdiately clenched his fist to his chest, his words firm.
"The kindness Master has shown , I will always rember. Respecting my master and valuing the teachings, my sincerity is as clear as the sun and moon!"
Leng Feiyan couldn't help but smile, saying, "I was just casually asking, why are you so nervous?"
"Uh... I was just worried that Master might misunderstand," Lin Jichen said bitterly.
"Alright, I was just joking with you. No need to be so scared."
Leng Feiyan indeed laughed, her radiant smile like a lotus blooming quietly after a sumr rain, extrely beautiful.
"Master, your smile is so beautiful, like the flowers in spring," Lin Jichen couldn't help but praise.
A strange look appeared on Leng Feiyan's face, her autumn eyes showing a hint of reproach.
"Smooth talker. Have you gathered all the materials for the Foundation Establishnt?"
"Reporting to Master, your disciple has gathered everything and is ready to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm at any ti," Lin Jichen was also eager.
He had been in the Qi Refining Realm long enough. Now, the cultivation rankings were dominated by Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
The highest cultivation level had even reached the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, close to Crystal Formation.
As the number one expert in the Tale of Immortal, he was still stuck in the Qi Refining Realm, which was a bit embarrassing.
Moreover, breaking through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm would allow him to learn the art of flying, Sword Flight.
This was a scene he had fantasized about for two lifetis.
"In that case, go into seclusion and break through to the Foundation Establishnt. I have a gift for you once you succeed," Leng Feiyan said.
Lin Jichen smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I'm afraid I might encounter a heavenly tribulation during the breakthrough..."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Leng Feiyan said casually.
Lin Jichen finally felt relieved and, filled with excitent about the impending breakthrough, returned to his residence.
With the help of the Spirit Gathering Array, he could complete the Foundation Establishnt even faster.
Thinking of this, Lin Jichen sat cross-legged and took out all the materials for the Foundation Establishnt.
Then, he began the formal breakthrough!
After Lin Jichen chose to break through, six types of spiritual energy enveloped three treasures, dissolving them. Then, the six types of spiritual energy rged into a single strand and entered his body.
Imdiately, the surrounding spiritual energy surged like a tide, sinking into his sea of energy.
