141: Chapter 141 Emerging from Seclusion

Compared to learning a secondary profession like other Cultivators and toiling away like an ox and horse to earn Spirit Stones,

Lin Shen just had to lift a finger and wave the soul-absorbing banner to not only enhance his own strength but also reap a massive harvest of Spirit Stones.

Feeling his current substantial net worth, Lin Shen finally completely understood why so many people would seize the Opportunity of juniors, and why so many people were willing to lick blood from the edge of a blade and act as robber Cultivators.

As the saying goes, a person cannot get rich without windfall wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. How could earning through one's own hard work alone compare to the ease of acquiring things from others? (Do not self-insert; this must not be done in reality.)

...

In Cultivation, time knows no years.

In the blink of an eye, nine years had passed.

Inside the Immortal Cave, terrifying Spiritual Qi surged out from Lin Shen's body, and a huge cyan lotus floated suspended above Lin Shen's head.

This huge cyan lotus bloomed with terrifying lightning, blue water currents floating across it, and the vibrant Spiritual Qi of Wood filled the air.

Amidst the surging terrifying Spiritual Qi, the gathering spirit Formation inside the Immortal Cave operated rapidly, and a huge vortex appeared at the center of this giant cyan lotus.

It crazily devoured the Spiritual Qi of this Realm, rapidly helping Lin Shen consume the massive amount of energy within his body.

Aided by this giant cyan lotus, Lin Shen's Cultivation climbed tier by tier, and the aura on his body grew increasingly profound.

Boom! ! !

The terrifying lightning explosion swept outward.

Amidst this terrifying explosion, a terrifying thunder Sword Intent surged out, followed quickly by the rapid diffusion of dense and terrifying blood-red baleful Qi.

At this moment, having only been in seclusion for nine years, Lin Shen's Cultivation had broken all the way from the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Realm to Peak Foundation Establishment.

The main credit for all this stemmed from the assistance of the fate-seizing jade pendant and that small cauldron.

With an endless stream of resources, Lin Shen relied on this small cauldron to continuously enhance the Spiritual Qi Cultivation within his body. Through constant devouring and transformation, his Cultivation climbed step by step, and now it had risen to Peak Foundation Establishment, just a step away from the Golden Core Realm.

Although it was just a step away from the Golden Core Realm, to acquire stronger and deeper Foundations, he still needed to carefully polish his own Foundation and Cultivation.

Only in this way, after truly breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, could he rely on his profound Foundation and background to be much more formidable than Cultivators of the same rank.

In addition, relying on the Body Refining Spirit Medicine that Lin Feng had secretly helped him collect over the past nine years, as well as the precious medicine he plucked in the Secret Realm back then, Lin Shen's Body Refining Cultivation had also broken through to Peak Foundation Establishment.

It can be said that Lin Shen's current strength had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to himself before seclusion.

Under the swelling sensation of his formidable strength, Lin Shen even dared to lock horns with the Golden Core Realm.

Of course, despite this trace of swelling arrogance in his heart, Lin Shen would not be stupid enough to think he could be arrogant to such an extent.

He never did things without certainty, and unless absolutely necessary, he would never expose his true Cultivation and strength to fight against the Golden Core Realm.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad!"

"With my current strength, if I were to face my former Revered Master Mo Shenggu, I am afraid a single sword strike would finish him!"

"I wonder if after so much time has passed, that Revered Master of mine has successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm!"

Rising from the cattail mat, Lin Shen clenched his five fingers abruptly, and a terrifying force of thunder and Sword Intent burst out. The surrounding air shattered instantly, and a terrifying explosion swept across the surroundings.

However, with the cover of multiple protective Formations and shielding Formations, outsiders simply could not spy on what was happening inside the Immortal Cave.

With the current enhancement of his Cultivation and the substantial growth of his strength, Mo Shenggu's face inevitably surfaced in Lin Shen's mind.

Calculating the time, Mo Shenggu had already entered the Sect Blessed Land for nearly ten years. He wondered how Mo Shenggu's seclusion had gone over these past ten years, whether he had absorbed that condensing spirit liquid, and whether he had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm.

From the bottom of his heart, Lin Shen hoped that Mo Shenggu could break through to the Golden Core Realm and increase his Lifespan.

After all, as for Revered Master Mo Shenggu, although he might have had other small ulterior motives, he was still quite good to him and always thought of him first whenever there were any benefits.

As the saying goes, for a gentleman, judge by actions, not by intentions.

As long as Mo Xiaoyu's matter was not discovered for a day, he would always treat Mo Shenggu as a true Revered Master, and it would not be out of the question to provide for him in his old age and send him off in the future.

Thinking of Mo Shenggu, Lin Shen couldn't help shaking his head.

This time he interrupted his seclusion, besides the fact that the Cultivation resources he collected had been completely consumed by him, the most primary reason was the restriction of his Cultivation Technique.

The Sanyuan Qi-Guiding Technique could only supply him with Cultivation up to Peak Foundation Establishment. If he still wanted to continue cultivating to a higher Realm and break through to the Golden Core, he had to switch Cultivation Techniques and seek an Advanced Cultivation Technique that was more suitable for himself.

"I should leave seclusion first, gather some news, and see how my Revered Master is doing right now? Has he successfully broken through to the Golden Core!"

"Even if he has successfully broken through to the Golden Core and left seclusion, I will ask him then to see if there are any higher-level Cultivation Techniques more suitable for me."

"Although my Cultivation needs to be hidden, I can also find an excuse, saying that it is to guard against unexpected needs and prepare for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm as early as possible in the future."

Lin Shen muttered to himself, devouring the residual Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Cave. The aura on his body changed for a while, and under the cover of the Heavenly Eye, his Cultivation, which was originally at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm, was directly hidden down to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

Having broken through directly to Peak Foundation Establishment after only nine years of seclusion was simply too dazzling.

Therefore, he planned to hide his Cultivation at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment and pretend to have just broken through.

In this way, he could maintain his image as a Prodigy while having an excuse to claim that he had completely absorbed the Opportunity obtained in the Secret Realm, preventing others from eyeing it.

After preparing all measures, Lin Shen removed the protective Formations and shielding Formations, and swaggered out of this Immortal Cave.

Walking out of the Immortal Cave, Lin Shen looked towards Mo Shenggu's courtyard not far away.

Feeling that Mo Shenggu's courtyard was still completely empty with no traces of human life, Lin Shen couldn't help frowning.

After making inquiries with the surrounding Disciples of Luoyun Peak, he discovered that although ten years had passed, Mo Shenggu had never left seclusion from the Sect Blessed Land.

This inevitably caused a trace of worry to flash through his heart.

After all, logically speaking, with a treasure like condensing spirit liquid, backed by the vigorous support of the Sect, the blessing of the Blessed Land, and his accumulation over many years, Mo Shenggu should have broken through to the Golden Core Realm no matter what within these ten years.

Carrying the worry and a trace of puzzlement in his heart, Lin Shen's figure turned into a stream of light, rapidly flying toward the Sect Masters Main Hall.

He intended to understand the situation from Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu. After all, as the Revered Master of Chiyun Valley, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu knew the situation within the Sect Blessed Land best.

Whether this Mo Shenggu was dead or alive, and whether he was still continuing to break through in seclusion, there would surely be a detailed explanation.

"Junior Brother Lin! Long time no see! I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

Just as Lin Shen was about to reach the Sect Masters Main Hall, a streak of fire flashed past from afar. Sensing Lin Shen's blooming Cultivation, his tone was filled with pleasant surprise and excitement.
