Chapter 434: Chapter 8: Breathing Technique Turmoil, The Momentum Is Set! (Part 2)
True Man Fufeng didn’t mention it again. Cultivators have long lifespans, and in his view, his granddaughter’s present focus should still be cultivation.
Seeing Lin Chen arriving, True Man Fufeng did not hide anything and said:
"Do you recall the Martial Arts Palace relic on the sea half a year ago?"
"The cultivation technique from that Martial Arts Palace relic... has been proven real!"
"Half a year ago, I arranged for a few family collateral lines to cultivate this technique. The quickest progress made so far has their Body Refining Cultivation comparable to Qi Refining Perfection..."
"This technique might stir significant waves in the Meteor Islands!"
Upon hearing this, the direct lineage of the Fufeng Clan showed no change in expression, clearly already aware of it.
Fufeng’s gaze turned to Lin Chen and asked:
"Taoist Friend Lin, what are your thoughts on that technique?"
Lin Chen has cultivated both body and martial arts dual cultivation for a long time, which is something Fufeng already knew.
Therefore, True Man Fufeng wanted to hear Lin Chen’s opinion.
After some thought, Lin Chen replied:
"Although I’ve always resided on Grey Stone Island, I’ve heard of that technique."
"Previously purchased a rubbing copy and felt its profoundness after reviewing it!"
"The technique should have no significant issues. If it indeed originated from Ancient Body Cultivator sects, it might be the Supreme Technique in the Mortal Realm!"
Lin Chen’s words were quite deliberate, not overly praising, but rather measured.
After listening, True Man Fufeng found it reasonable and continued:
"Currently, the other three great clans might also know about this technique."
"Cultivating this technique might not show differences in the short term... but after decades, if other clans have teams of Body Refining Cultivators, it would be disadvantageous for the Fufeng Clan!"
"Therefore, our Fufeng Clan must quickly assign people to cultivate this method."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already delighted.
Everything was progressing just as Lin Chen anticipated.
Lin Chen, borrowing the name of the Martial Arts Palace relic, introduced the Breathing Technique, attracting not only loose cultivators.
The Meteor Islands’ four great clans are in a competitive relationship.
If the other clans implement Breathing Technique and your clan does not, certainly after several decades you will fall behind significantly.
Hence, to prevent being overtaken by other clans, all four great clans must cultivate the Martial Arts Breathing Technique.
By then, the promotion of the Martial Arts Breathing Technique on the Meteor Islands will be unstoppable.
And this was merely the first step of Lin Chen’s plan.
Lin Chen quietly listened to Brother Fufeng’s words beside him, nodding frequently but rarely expressing opinions.
After all, Lin Chen wasn’t part of the Fufeng Clan, merely a Guest Minister.
The reason True Man Fufeng invited Lin Chen was just because Lin Chen’s strength was adequate?
Moments later, True Man Fufeng stated the purpose of calling Lin Chen over.
"Taoist Friend Lin practices Body Refinement, and your Body Refining Cultivation is no weaker than a Nascent Soul Cultivator..."
"Therefore, I’d like to invite Taoist Friend Lin to also serve as the Martial Arts Instructor for the Fufeng Clan, sparing one or two days each month to teach the clan’s disciples the Path of Body Refining..."
"Would Taoist Friend Lin be willing?"
True Man Fufeng’s tone was quite askance, adding:
"If Taoist Friend Lin agrees, our Fufeng Clan can offer an annual fee of two million Spirit Stones for employment..."
Hearing these words, Lin Chen had no reason to refuse.
Currently, he resides on Grey Stone Island, doing nothing yet earning a million Spirit Stones a year, and this has been the case for five years.
And merely spending one or two days a month teaching, would not take much of Lin Chen’s time.
Furthermore, an annual fee of two million Spirit Stones is indeed substantial.
The Martial Arts Palace relic had cost Lin Chen quite a bit of his fortune, and now is precisely the time he lacks Spirit Stones.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen nodded and agreed.
"Alright, Brother Fufeng... then at the beginning of each month, you may invite up to thirty people to my Grey Stone Island, where I can provide special guidance."
Upon hearing these words, True Man Fufeng immediately showed a pleased expression.
Guiding one day a month, earning two million Spirit Stones a year.
On average, close to two hundred thousand Spirit Stones per guidance session...
Even for Nascent Soul True Man, this price is quite high.
Of course, True Man Fufeng values more so the connection between Lin Chen and the Fufeng Clan.
Even if it’s merely instructing Martial Arts Body Refinement, without a master-disciple relationship.
But through more frequent interactions, Lin Chen’s sentiment for the Fufeng Clan will grow deeper.
Over the years, True Man Fufeng has been contemplating this matter.
He is advanced in age, and no new Nascent Soul Cultivator has emerged in the clan.
Currently, nearly half of the Fufeng Clan’s prestige was fought for by Lin Chen years ago.
Defeating the Insect Gu Elder within mere seconds, such prowess is top-tier in the Meteor Islands.
Hence, over the years, the other three great clans, and even forces outside the Meteor Islands have been inquiring about Lin Chen.
Even attempting to poach him.
Although Lin Chen has stayed on Grey Stone Island, seldom venturing out.
But his connection to the Fufeng Clan seems to be only a hundred thousand a year Guest Minister salary.
Thus, True Man Fufeng was so eager.
Lin Chen remained in Fufeng Prefecture until evening, after dining, then returned to Grey Stone Island.
Returning to Grey Stone Island, Lin Chen looked at the Breathing Technique in his hand and murmured:
"The promotion of the Breathing Technique, with the four great clans competing to cultivate, is just the first step..."
In the following months, the Breathing Technique continued to spread across the Meteor Islands.
Marketplace teahouses and even places of pleasure were abuzz with cultivators discussing the Supreme Secret Method from the Martial Arts Palace relic.
With more and more cultivators practicing the Breathing Technique, numerous martial artists near Martial Master level began to emerge.
The cultivators of the Cultivation Realm possess excellent aptitude and high physical qualities; in the Great Xia Country, they would be considered Martial Arts genius level.
Furthermore, the Meteor Islands’ abundant Sea Beast flesh meant cultivators had the money to buy it, making progress naturally swift.
