Chapter 450: Chapter 15: A Glimpse Beyond the Celestial Sect, Realizing the Difference Between Mortal and Celestial Being
Three days later, in Wenda City.
A pill shop.
Lin Chen walked slowly into the shop, surveying the surroundings.
He saw a familiar figure in the shop.
His little junior brother, Zhou Tieshan.
"Cough cough... Shopkeeper, how much for the Nighttime Awakening Pill?"
Lin Chen asked softly.
Zhou Tieshan looked up at Lin Chen and said:
"Thirty Spirit Stones for a bottle, one hundred Spirit Stones for three bottles..."
After speaking, he mumbled to himself:
"How come this young Taoist friend is having trouble?"
Lin Chen’s lips twitched, and he went on to inquire about the prices of several other pills.
In the short while that Lin Chen was there, two or three more customers came into the shop.
It seems that over the past ten years, the pill shop’s business has been quite good.
After these customers left, Lin Chen asked again:
"Friend, your pills are of good quality, who made them?"
Zhou Tieshan didn’t hide it, and said:
"Most of them were crafted by my master..."
Lin Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, and then felt immense joy in his heart...
"Master... oh no, is this pill crafted by Master Han?" Lin Chen asked eagerly.
Zhou Tieshan nodded upon hearing this, examining Lin Chen carefully.
"Strange, I clearly haven’t seen this person... How does he know my master’s name? Could it be that my master’s pills are already famous in Wenda City?"
Zhou Tieshan was somewhat puzzled, but couldn’t directly ask.
"Cough cough..."
Lin Chen realized he had exposed too much.
So he switched to the topic:
"Friend, I’m planning to purchase a batch of pills, any cultivation-related pills from First to Third Tier will do, the quantity won’t be less than thirty thousand pieces, can your shop sell them?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zhou Tieshan’s eyes widened.
Thirty thousand pills, even if they were all just the lowest First Tier.
The value would probably be above a million Spirit Stones.
This is definitely a major transaction for them.
"Taoist friend wouldn’t be joking, would you?" Zhou Tieshan’s mood was a bit uneasy.
Even though he is already a Sixth Turn Golden Core Cultivator, his cultivation age is quite young, making it difficult to remain calm in the face of such a transaction.
Lin Chen smiled, taking out a Storage Bag.
"There are a million Spirit Stones in this Storage Bag, consider it my deposit!"
"However, since this is a major transaction, I want to know... Are all these pills crafted by Master Han?"
Zhou Tieshan was somewhat bewildered by the unexpected large order.
He shook his head muddledly:
"Not all of them... Most were made by my master, and a small portion by my senior sister and third brother..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen felt a surge of happiness.
The purpose of his visit had already been achieved.
Knowing that his master and a few senior brothers and sisters were safe was the best outcome.
Wenda City seems safe, and the pill shop’s business is thriving.
If Lin Chen continues to look after the business from time to time, regardless, his fellow sect members won’t lack the means for cultivation.
The things Lin Chen needed to do were too dangerous, so he definitely couldn’t reunite with these fellow sect members for the time being.
Let them run the business in Wenda City and live a tranquil life, perhaps it’s not a bad result.
Soon after, Lin Chen took away three hundred bottles of pills.
This was most of the shop’s inventory, and after taking the pills, Lin Chen said with a smile:
"Taoist Friend Zhou, keep crafting those pills, I’ll come back to collect them when more are available..."
Lin Chen finished speaking and turned to leave.
And Zhou Tieshan in the shop was still excited; this large order was equivalent to several years of income for them.
After leaving the pill shop, Lin Chen turned toward a certain direction in Wenda City.
This time, he didn’t reunite with fellow sect members for the sake of his brothers, sisters, and master’s safety.
Lin Chen’s few sect members were the type who couldn’t keep secrets.
However...
Besides this, Lin Chen had a trustworthy person in Wenda City.
...
Soon after, Lin Chen stopped in front of a yard.
There were several osmanthus trees planted in the yard.
At this moment, the osmanthus trees were in bloom, and the fragrance could be smelled within a mile or two.
Lin Chen didn’t knock on the door but flashed into the yard.
At this moment, there was a young girl alone playing chess in the yard.
Lin Chen did not conceal his presence and revealed himself directly.
"Who is it?"
The elderly man behind Jiang Liqian was startled, showing a serious expression as he looked at the suddenly appearing Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was close, yet he hadn’t sensed anything.
Only when Lin Chen revealed his presence did he realize.
Jiang Liqian was also taken aback as she looked at the suddenly appearing Lin Chen.
After carefully distinguishing, Jiang Liqian realized she hadn’t seen Lin Chen’s face before.
Yet Jiang Liqian still tentatively asked:
"Is it... Senior Brother Lin?"
Lin Chen nodded, waved his hand, and set a Restriction in the yard.
Then revealed his true appearance and smiled:
"Junior Sister Jiang, it’s been a long time..."
Seeing that it was truly Lin Chen, Jiang Liqian’s eyes instinctively turned red.
After a while, she couldn’t help but say:
"Senior Brother Lin, how... did you survive?"
Twelve years ago, the battle at Changchun Sect almost shocked the entire Qing State!
True Man Changchun orchestrated several plots, gambling with the sect, almost forcing Blood Pupil Old Demon into a dead end.
If the Spirit Realm hadn’t intervened at the end, Blood Pupil Old Demon would have truly died at True Man Changchun’s hands.
But unexpectedly, after that battle.
A fourth-generation disciple named Lin Chen emerged, not only killing Blood Pupil Old Demon in one go.
He even escaped unscathed from the encirclement of True Monarchs of Divinity Transformation, his life or death unknown...
After that, Jiang Liqian also initiated intelligence several times, trying to find Lin Chen’s whereabouts.
But unfortunately, there was no news.
Even Jiang Liqian believed Lin Chen was dead...
Yet after twelve years passed, Lin Chen actually returned alive.
