I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 90 - 88: The Secret of the Anomalous Spirit Root, Jiang Liqian’s Invitation

Chapter 90: Chapter 88: The Secret of the Anomalous Spirit Root, Jiang Liqian’s Invitation

"Ah!?"

Li Zhenqian was taken aback upon hearing, then quickly covered his mouth and asked in a low voice:

"Lin Chen, are you going to give me this Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Lin Chen rolled his eyes after hearing this, speechless:

"You’re dreaming!"

"What I mean is, I’ll use this Foundation Establishment Pill valued at two thousand Spirit Stones... to trade some array formation resources and materials with you, how about it?"

"You know, I come from Pill Peak, and this Foundation Establishment Pill is something I’m not really lacking."

Lin Chen blinked, showing a knowing look.

Li Zhenqian swallowed, looking at the Foundation Establishment Pill in Lin Chen’s hand with a hint of desire.

With this Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, plus one from family support and one exchanged with sect contribution...

With Li Zhenqian’s True Spirit Root aptitude, he has a great chance of achieving Upper Grade Foundation Establishment!

"You... the value of this Foundation Establishment Pill is too high, I need to consult my family..." Li Zhenqian stammered nervously, like a child asking permission from parents.

Lin Chen nodded, unhurriedly said:

"Since that’s the case, I’ll reserve this Foundation Establishment Pill for you for a month..."

"Within one month, gather array materials worth two thousand Spirit Stones at market value, and I’ll give you this Foundation Establishment Pill."

With that, Lin Chen turned and left.

He had heard about Li Zhenqian’s background before.

Born into a renowned cultivation family within Yanlai Country’s capital, known for its expertise in array formation.

And Li Zhenqian, as the legitimate son of the family, possessing True Spirit Roots, is surely provided with considerable resource support.

Lin Chen hopes to expand channels by leveraging the connection with Li Zhenqian.

If he can later purchase array formation materials from the Li Family, it would certainly save a lot of effort.

After Lin Chen won, the sect competition did not immediately end.

About half a two-hour later, the first platform determined the winner.

Participants on the first platform were all disciples at Qi Refining Perfection.

Their aptitude is only considered decent within the Inner Sect, but with long cultivation years, they vie for the top spot in this competition.

Another half a two-hour passed, and the second platform determined the winner.

The second platform was for disciples who joined the sect between six and ten years ago.

This platform had the fiercest competition; participants were all Qi Refining Perfection disciples, all strategizing for Foundation Establishment with this Foundation Establishment Pill.

Ending the latest was the fourth platform.

Until nightfall, these Outer Sect disciples identified the top eight, joining the Inner Sect smoothly.

"Thus, the rules of Chang Chun Sect’s competition are quite humane... Regardless of aptitude, there seems to be an opportunity given."

Lin Chen silently thought.

For those with top-notch talents like him and Li Zhenqian, they would not wait for another three years.

Even if Li Zhenqian didn’t win the competition’s Foundation Establishment Pill, he would definitely establish foundation within a year.

Otherwise, wasting too much time is not worth it.

Only those with poorer aptitudes, unable to afford Foundation Establishment Pills, would suppress cultivation while waiting for the competition opportunity.

...

As night fell, Lin Chen did not linger in the Disciples Plaza for long.

After claiming the competition rewards, he stepped onto the Purple Jade Gourd, returning to the Pill Peak.

When nearing the Pill Peak, he suddenly received a sound transmission.

"Taoist Friend Lin, may I speak with you for a moment?"

Following the voice, Lin Chen saw a slender figure.

"Is that... Jiang Liqian?"

"I have no connection with her... Why would she suddenly seek me?"

Lin Chen paused, hesitated but eventually stopped his artifact control.

Approaching Jiang Liqian, Lin Chen asked somewhat puzzledly:

"Taoist Friend Jiang, what do you seek from me?"

Jiang Liqian, dressed in Inner Sect disciple Taoist robe, comported herself gracefully:

"First, congratulations to Senior Brother Lin for achieving first place in the competition..."

"Senior Brother’s talent in Body Refinement is truly surprising... If I’m not mistaken, Senior Brother’s Body Refining Realm must be close to Foundation Establishment Stage, right?"

Lin Chen slightly furrowed his brow upon hearing that; he did not deny it.

The exhibition of Body Refinement talent was within his plan, also able to disguise it with an innate aptitude for learning Giant Stone Body Refining Technique.

Thus, Lin Chen modestly said:

"It’s the merit of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill; over the past half year, I’ve constantly honed my flesh body, barely achieving this meager result."

"Alas, but Body Refinement ultimately is a minor path, far from Junior Sister Jiang’s Top Grade Earth Spirit Root..."

Jiang Liqian merely smiled lightly upon hearing this, looking at Lin Chen.

Through those deep eyes, Lin Chen once again felt the illusion of being seen through as if stripped bare.

"Ahem..." Lin Chen gently coughed twice and said, "If there’s nothing else, Junior Sister, I’ll take my leave... Master is waiting for my good news!"

With that, Lin Chen summoned the Purple Jade Gourd, preparing to return to Pill Peak.

Just then, Jiang Liqian’s voice sounded again from behind him.

"Senior Brother, aren’t you curious about your Spirit Root?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen paused.

Turning back, pretending a confused look:

"Junior Sister, what do you mean? According to sect testing, I am merely Earth and Wood Dual Spirit Roots."

Jiang Liqian shook her head upon hearing this, said:

"In this world, besides the Five Elements Spirit Roots... there are exceedingly rare Anomalous Spirit Roots."

"But it’s too rare, even rarer than Celestial Spirit Roots, thus ordinary cultivators might not know..."

"And Senior Brother, evidently is an Anomalous Spirit Root! Otherwise... it cannot explain your astonishing cultivation speed!"

With that, Jiang Liqian looked at Lin Chen with profound meaning.

"However, Anomalous Spirit Roots often require special methods to fully exert their potential..."

"If Senior Brother acquires such methods, increasing cultivation speed several times wouldn’t be difficult."

"Doesn’t Senior Brother desire it?"

Upon hearing Jiang Liqian’s words, Lin Chen fell into silence.

His Spirit Root is unusual, he knew better than anyone.

A consumption of Spirit Stones several times that of others in the same realm, in exchange for a cultivation speed far surpassing Dual Spirit Roots.

Lin Chen estimated his current cultivation speed is approximately equivalent to Upper Grade True Spirit Root.

He had been quite satisfied...

But Jiang Liqian’s words indeed stirred his curiosity.

An increase in cultivation speed by several times, who wouldn’t want that?

So, Lin Chen took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said:

"Please resolve my doubts, Junior Sister Jiang..."

Seeing this, Jiang Liqian also stated her conditions.

"I can tell Senior Brother how to utilize Anomalous Spirit Roots to accelerate cultivation, and even gift Senior Brother a higher level Body Refining Technique."

"But Junior Sister has one request..."

"I hope, in five years, you can accompany me to a place and assist me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen lightly furrowed his brow, hesitated to agree immediately, but asked:

"Why me? What place are we going to?"

"Because Senior Brother’s body refining talent is strong, and where we need to go, only those below Core Formation can enter. Five years from now, I imagine Senior Brother’s strength will be unrivaled below Core Formation, greatly assisting me."

After pausing, Jiang Liqian continued:

"As for where we are going, it’s an ancient cultivator’s relic. Within the relic, there’s an important secret technique of great use to me..."

"If Senior Brother agrees with me, I can even share that secret technique with you."
