I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 42 - 41: A Song of Plum Blossoms, Senior Brother Cen Wushan

Chapter 42: Chapter 41: A Song of Plum Blossoms, Senior Brother Cen Wushan

Since Lin Chen entered the Qi Refining Stage, almost half a month has passed.

Therefore, this morning, Lin Chen controlled his cultivation breath to the Second Layer of Qi Refining.

The Foundation Establishment Stage elder would naturally be able to detect it.

When he heard the words of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion elder...

Li Zhenqian was struck as if by lightning, standing still in place.

His legs softened, and he directly sat down on the ground with a thud.

Looking up at the sky, his eyes seemed to fill with tears.

He shouted silently:

"No, no!"

"This isn’t real! How could this be?"

"How could Lin Chen, with his Dual Spirit Roots, surpass me, a Single Spirit Root cultivator, in entering the Second Layer first?!"

Lin Chen paused his steps, as if hearing the sound of "Yi Jian Mei" in the air.

"Taoist Friend Li, you have to work hard~"

Lin Chen murmured and walked straight to Pill Peak.

...

Early the next morning, Lin Chen finished his cultivation.

He glanced at the countdown on his arm, 22:16.

Less than a day left until it was time to return to Blue Star.

Lin Chen placed several cultivation techniques collected this time into the Nanobag.

"The country will certainly be delighted when they see these cultivation techniques..."

As he was thinking, a voice came from outside.

"Junior Martial Brother! Junior Martial Brother, come out quickly... Senior Brother is back!"

Lin Chen opened the door when he heard the voice.

And saw a middle-aged strong man with dark skin standing outside.

He had a short hair style and a full beard on his face, giving off a wild forest vibe.

"Hello Senior Brother... Which Senior Brother are you?"

Lin Chen blinked and asked tentatively.

The strong man grinned and said:

"Junior Martial Brother, I am your Second Senior Brother... Cen Wushan!"

"Hahaha, I went far away for quite some months and didn’t expect Master to have a new Junior Martial Brother!"

Cen Wushan’s eyes were bright as he carefully observed Lin Chen.

At this moment, Master Han Jihai also hurriedly arrived.

He stood in front of Lin Chen, facing Cen Wushan with a glare.

"Back already? Don’t corrupt your Junior Martial Brother... Master is old, and he’s meant to be my heir!" Han Jihai said vigilantly.

"Master! What are you saying? I came back with half my life hanging by a thread just to see you and Junior Martial Brother sooner, and you say things like this!"

Cen Wushan looked very aggrieved.

"Humph!" Han Jihai was disapproving of Cen Wushan’s aggrieved look.

Lin Chen stood by, curiously observing this master and apprentice duo.

Second Senior Brother, seems to be a bit odd like Senior Sister?

Seeing that Master wasn’t buying it, Cen Wushan quickly grinned and said:

"Hehe, ever since I received the news about helping Junior Martial Brother find Beast Fire, I hurried back!"

"Just recently, I happened to acquire a Purple Flame Spirit Snake... perfect for Junior Martial Brother’s Beast Fire!"

Han Jihai’s face improved slightly upon hearing this and asked:

"Humph, you have such a good heart?"

Cen Wushan displayed an ’I’m the best’ attitude and said:

"Senior Sister stays in the mountains drinking every day and won’t go out... Can she help find Beast Fire for Junior Martial Brother?"

"As for Third Senior Brother, that gambling addict... sigh, no need to mention him!"

"So, oh my dear Master, besides me, who else can help find Beast Fire for Junior Martial Brother?"

Then, Cen Wushan patted his waist’s Spirit Beast Bag.

A foot-long little snake emerged.

This small snake was only thumb-thick, its scales slightly purple-black, and its eyes were as red as flames.

The Purple Flame Spirit Snake looked a bit timid, trying to slip into the ground as soon as it came out of the Spirit Beast Bag.

Seeing this, Han Jihai clapped his hands and said:

"It really is a Purple Flame Spirit Snake... judging by its size, it’s just a few months old?"

Han Jihai flicked his finger, a dense Wood Element True Essence immobilizing the Purple Flame Spirit Snake in place.

Then he turned to Lin Chen and said:

"Chen’Er, your Senior Brother did something right this time... The Purple Flame Spirit Snake is a hard-to-find Fire Spirit Beast."

"Its Purple Flame Spirit Fire is ranked 63rd on the Beast Fire List!"

"If it weren’t for the lengthy growth cycle of the Purple Flame Spirit Snake, its Spirit Fire could rank in the top 50 of the Beast Fire List!"

Speaking of this, Han Jihai’s eyes showed some envy.

His Extreme Flame Rat was only ranked 87th on the Beast Fire List, quite inferior to the Purple Flame Spirit Snake.

Lin Chen was delighted upon hearing this, looking at the cute little snake, he thought:

"This Purple Flame Spirit Snake seems impressive... at least cuter than Master’s rat."

As if reading Lin Chen’s thoughts, Han Jihai reminded:

"Chen’Er, although the Purple Flame Spirit Snake is highly ranked, its growth cycle is quite lengthy."

"The size you see is that of a newborn snake, it takes at least ten years to reach the juvenile stage to assist in alchemy."

"A fully grown Purple Flame Spirit Snake after a century reportedly reaches dozens of meters long, becoming a Purple Flame Giant Python!"

Lin Chen was stunned hearing this, ten years, a hundred years... does he have to wait that long to practice alchemy?

Fortunately, Han Jihai continued:

"Of course, ten years to reach juvenile stage is the natural growth speed of the Purple Flame Spirit Snake..."

"If fed with Wood Element True Essence and occasionally some Wood and Fire Spirit Beast Pills, it can assist you in alchemy within a few months!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen was somewhat relieved.

"Your Second Senior Brother gave you a Purple Flame Spirit Snake, of course, I can’t be stingy as a Master!"

Saying this, Han Jihai handed over a Spirit Beast Bag and four or five bottles of Spirit Beast Pills.

"The Purple Flame Spirit Snake prefers shade, let it stay in the Spirit Beast Bag when not feeding..."

"As for these Spirit Beast Pills, crafted by me years ago, will greatly benefit its growth... feed one every three days, and nourish with Wood Element True Essence regularly!"

Lin Chen memorized Han Jihai’s advice and accepted the Spirit Beast Bag and Storage Bag, bowing in gratitude:

"Thank you, Master!"

Glancing at the Purple Flame Spirit Snake, it had devoured most of the Wood Element True Essence released by Han Jihai and was now dozing off with a full belly.

Lin Chen was amused by the snake’s adorable manner, activated the Storage Bag, and put the Purple Flame Spirit Snake inside.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Lin Chen cupped his hands respectfully.

Cen Wushan laughed upon hearing this:

"Hey, we’re brothers, no need to be polite?"

"Once you’ve achieved some cultivation, go out with me... It’s a pity to stay inside the mountain gate with the vast lands awaiting!"

Lin Chen’s heart was moved upon hearing this, this Cen Wushan seemed to love traveling?

Lin Chen currently knew little about the Cultivation Realm.

All he knew was he was within the borders of Yanlai Country in Qing State, and Changchun Sect was the largest cultivation sect in Yanlai.

If he could travel with Senior Brother, he definitely could learn more about the Cultivation Realm and be safer.

After all, both Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Cen Wushan’s words, Han Jihai became anxious, quickly saying:

"Chen’Er, don’t listen to him! Don’t let him lead you astray!"
