Chapter 476: Chapter 28: Jiang Liqian’s Secret, Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Mirror!
Nearly ten million Spirit Stones is a fortune for any Half-Step Nascent Soul cultivator.
Li Zhenqian’s family is decent, but it is only a Golden Core clan.
He is also the strongest in the family, so they naturally cannot provide the resources for his Nascent Soul Formation.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Zhenqian is stuck before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
"However, how should I give Li Zhenqian the pills for Nascent Soul Formation?"
After much consideration, Lin Chen decided he must go to find Jiang Liqian.
...
Soon, Lin Chen arrived at Jiang Liqian’s residence.
"Junior Sister Jiang."
Lin Chen called several times outside the residence, but Jiang Liqian did not respond.
After some thought, Lin Chen entered the courtyard anyway.
Jiang Liqian was not home.
The one who greeted Lin Chen was the elder who always followed Jiang Liqian.
"Lin Chen, are you looking for the Young Master?" the elder asked after giving Lin Chen an intense look.
Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this, maintaining basic respect for Junior Sister Jiang’s Guardian.
"Elder, is Junior Sister Jiang at the residence?"
The elder shook his head and said:
"The Young Master has not returned for three days. If you want to find him, you can go to the Celestial Essence Chess Hall in the city..."
Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this and turned to leave.
After he left, the elder watched Lin Chen, unable to help but say:
"This young man... To what extent has he grown... Even I cannot see through him."
...
Celestial Essence Chess Hall.
Lin Chen quickly found Jiang Liqian.
When he found her, Jiang Liqian was playing a game of chess with someone.
And Lin Chen actually recognized the person she was playing against.
It was that beggar old man Lin Chen had played against decades ago under the identity of Zhou Wu.
When Lin Chen arrived, the chess game was already reaching its end.
Jiang Liqian lost by three pieces, utterly defeated.
"Imperial Uncle, I lost..."
Jiang Liqian sighed and said.
Then she stood up and saw Lin Chen.
"Senior Brother Lin, why are you here?"
Seeing Jiang Liqian, Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile.
"Naturally, I have something to discuss with you... It has been years since we last met, how have you been recently?"
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Jiang Liqian lost interest in continuing the chess game and bowed, saying:
"Imperial Uncle, I have something to discuss with Senior Brother Lin and would like to leave for a while..."
The beggar old man rudely scratched his foot, then pulled out some leftover food from his mouth and swallowed it.
"Go ahead."
After saying this, the beggar old man looked at Lin Chen with a smile, thought for a long while, and suddenly said:
"Young man, after decades... You’ve actually cultivated to this extent?"
Lin Chen was stunned by these words, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
But he still said, "Uh, what is the elder talking about? I seem to have never met the elder..."
Upon hearing this, the beggar old man shook his head and chose not to say more.
Beside him, Jiang Liqian showed a curious expression.
...
Lin Chen followed Jiang Liqian back to the residence, feeling distracted along the way.
Decades ago, his disguise was easily seen through by that beggar old man...
One must know, he was using the identity of Zhou Wu at that time, a member of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!
If that beggar old man saw through it, doesn’t it mean...
Lin Chen’s relationship with the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect might be exposed?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt another wave of fear.
"What is the identity of that beggar old man?"
Lin Chen kept pondering all the way.
Until he returned to Jiang Liqian’s residence, Jiang Liqian’s words interrupted Lin Chen’s wild thoughts.
"Senior Brother Lin, it has been years since we last met... What’s the reason you came to find me this time?"
Lin Chen did not hide anything, directly taking out a Storage Ring and said:
"Junior Sister Jiang, in this Storage Ring, there are five sets of pills and magical treasures to help with breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage."
"Please distribute them to my master, eldest senior sister, third senior brother, and little junior sister... The last set, please give it to Junior Brother Li Zhenqian, could you?"
"However, I trouble Junior Sister Jiang to come up with a good reason for this."
Jiang Liqian took the Storage Ring, her Divine Sense delved into it, and was then stunned.
The magical treasures and pills Lin Chen provided were all Top Grade.
These things are rare outside; even with Spirit Stones, there’s no place to buy them.
Just these few items are worth over thirty million Spirit Stones in the market.
Of course, Jiang Liqian didn’t know that these things were worthless to Lin Chen.
She nodded solemnly and promised:
"Rest assured, Senior Brother Lin. These things will be delivered to them... Does Senior Brother have anything else?"
Lin Chen shook his head; he returned this time just for this matter.
Besides, he came to see Jiang Liqian on the side.
But the sudden appearance of that beggar old man disrupted him, and Lin Chen was very anxious now.
Seeing Lin Chen seemed to have thoughts, Jiang Liqian asked:
"Senior Brother Lin, my clan uncle said... It seems he has met you?"
Lin Chen was silent, then nodded and said, "Many years ago, I played chess with that person."
"However... Is that elder your uncle?"
Jiang Liqian nodded upon hearing him, sighed, and said:
"Oh, to be honest, I learned chess actually for that clan uncle..."
"This clan uncle of mine possesses great talents... I have things to request of him, but he is unwilling to come forth."
Although Lin Chen was puzzled upon hearing this, he just nodded and did not ask more.
He had spent several years with that beggar old man.
Never saw much of his skills, but his chess was indeed remarkable.
"Looks like your clan uncle is unwilling to come forth?" Lin Chen asked in return.
Jiang Liqian nodded,
"These years, I’ve been searching for him until I found him a few years ago."
"But he always said the timing was not right, asking me to accompany him in chess..."
After pausing, Jiang Liqian smiled and said:
"Forget it, let’s not talk about this... Has Senior Brother’s cultivation improved over the years? You should be... not far from Divinity Transformation, right?"
Lin Chen scratched his head, "Hmm, almost."
"A few years ago, that Zheng Tianhe’s death... was probably also caused by Senior Brother, right?"
