149: Chapter 149 Departure, Heading to Zezhou

Chiyun Valley, Luoyun Peak.

After leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Shen quickly returned all the way to Luoyun Peak.

He had not found a Cultivation Technique to his liking in the Scripture Pavilion, so if he wanted to achieve a Breakthrough to the Golden Core and grow to a higher Realm, he had to leave Chiyun Valley and head to Zezhou to search for the Land of Leize.

As for whether he had the good fortune to enter the Land of Leize, Lin Shen was not worried about this.

The fact that he could hunt down so many Children of Destiny proved that his Qi path was definitely extraordinary, and furthermore, he still had the treasure-seeking compass.

As long as he followed the map to the location marked in Leizhou, even if he could not find the entrance to the Land of Leize, he could rely on the treasure-seeking compass to search near it.

"That Elder said the Land of Leize is dangerous, but that is relative to him. Although he was also at Peak Foundation Establishment back then, in terms of overall strength, the current me is countless times stronger than he was back then. It was dangerous for him, but that might not be the case for me..."

"Furthermore, my father once said, what action is not dangerous? The Dao of immortal cultivation lies in contention; only through contention can one soar straight up into the sky. If I don't even have this bit of courage, how can I talk about immortal cultivation?"

"Although I am naturally cautious, as long as everything is fully prepared, coupled with my numerous treasures by my side, this trip will definitely allow me to obtain my desired Cultivation Technique, and will definitely nip all dangers in the bud, thereby achieving a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm."

Returning to the courtyard, thinking of the words of that Elder in the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Shen muttered to himself.

In order to find a Cultivation Technique truly suitable for himself and to obtain even more formidable strength, he had to go to the Land of Leize in Zezhou without a doubt.

After thinking about it, Lin Shen felt that this trip might take a bit more time, so before leaving, he directly used a communication spirit talisman to call Lin Yuanyang over.

This Lin Yuanyang was also a member of the Lin family, and his talent was quite decent, possessing the Three Spiritual Roots Aptitude.

Having entered Chiyun Valley for just over a decade, he was already at the Qi Refining Stage 9 Realm now.

Five years ago, after Lin Shen became the Master of Luoyun Peak, he specially promoted this Lin Yuanyang to Luoyun Peak and appointed him as a manager.

As for himself, he concentrated on secluded Cultivation; during these five years, Lin Yuanyang handled these matters quite well.

Originally, Lin Shen wanted to promote Lin Feng to be the manager of Luoyun Peak, but considering that Lin Feng had done too many things for him, and many things could not be exposed to the surface, out of caution, Lin Shen still arranged for him to stay in the outer Sect as before.

"Greetings, Young Lord!"

Not long after, upon hearing Lin Shen's summons, Lin Yuanyang quickly arrived at Lin Shen's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yuanyang immediately bowed and cupped his fists toward Lin Shen.

"I've already told you, do not address me as Young Lord; within Chiyun Valley, you should address me by my official position."

Hearing Lin Yuanyang's form of address, Lin Shen immediately shook his head and set up a sound-isolation array around them.

Back then, he had gone to the Chiyun Valley dojo alone to test his Spiritual Roots; he did not want to expose his relationship with the Lin family of Heishi City.

After all, in this world of immortal cultivation, danger lurked at every step. In case he offended someone one day and failed to eliminate them in the first instance, it was very likely to implicate his father.

And this was also one of the reasons why he had always secretly contacted Lin Feng and the others behind the scenes.

As for this Lin Yuanyang, back when he entered Chiyun Valley, his identity information had long been secretly erased by himself.

Otherwise, if not for this point, this Lin Yuanyang would not be qualified to be the manager of Luoyun Peak.

"It is this subordinate's fault; I hope the Peak Master will forgive me!"

Lin Yuanyang immediately slapped his own mouth, lowered his head, and did not dare to look Lin Shen in the eye.

This Young Lord of his family was no benevolent person. Before him, some managers of Luoyun Peak had been secretly dealt with by Lin Shen directly due to some negligence, leaving not even their bones behind.

"Mm, as long as you know, don't do it again next time. You cannot let outsiders hear it, otherwise it is very likely to affect the Lin family."

Lin Shen nodded indifferently.

He had given Lin Yuanyang a chance once; if he committed such a low-level error again next time, there would be no talk of any chances.

Speaking of this, Lin Shen continued to speak, instructing Lin Yuanyang: "I am preparing to go out on a journey to travel, short as one or two years, long as uncertain time. During the time I leave Chiyun Valley, you must manage Luoyun Peak well, and remember to store and record the resources distributed by the Sect. If you encounter other troubles, you can go look for Wang Boan; presumably, for the sake of my Face, he will definitely help if he can."

"Right, remember not to stir up trouble and not to ruin my reputation. If anything else happens, wait until I return before discussing it."

This time leaving to go to the Land of Leize in Zezhou to search for a Cultivation Technique suitable for himself, Lin Shen did not know how long it would take. Facing the large amount of resources distributed by the Sect every month, he definitely had to instruct Lin Yuanyang well to help him collect and store them.

As for encountering trouble or being provoked by others, leaving such matters to Wang Boan would be fine.

After all, Lin Shen understood very clearly in his heart that the reason why Wang Boan's attitude towards him was so good was nothing more than wanting to win him over, making him become his follower to help him further consolidate his position in the Sect.

Regarding this point, Lin Shen let things take their natural course.

He was not interested in the internal power struggles of Chiyun Valley; all he cared about were the benefits that truly belonged to himself.

However, since Wang Boan wanted to win him over, he would just go along with his wishes. During the period of time when he was not in Chiyun Valley, if there was any trouble, it would naturally all be handed over to Wang Boan to handle.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

Lin Yuanyang nodded repeatedly, patting his chest to guarantee: "Peak Master, please rest assured. During the days you leave Chiyun Valley, this subordinate will definitely manage Luoyun Peak well and will absolutely not disappoint the Peak Master's high expectations."

At this time, Lin Yuanyang's heart was also surging with excitement. He thought of performing meritorious service, thinking of the moment when Lin Shen returned to Luoyun Peak to see his contributions.

"Mm, I am at ease with how you handle things!"

Lin Shen smiled and nodded.

Immediately after, he instructed Lin Yuanyang on some detailed matters once more.

After confirming everything was correct, under Lin Yuanyang's gaze, Lin Shen's figure turned into a streak of light, directly speeding away into the high altitude.

"Peak Master, go with peace of mind. With me here on Luoyun Peak, everything will be safe and sound. If anyone dares to damage even a bit of your interests, this subordinate will risk this life and will not let them succeed!"

Watching Lin Shen's distant figure, Lin Yuanyang slowly stood up from the ground, his gaze firm as he muttered to himself in his heart.

...

Three months later.

Lin Shen was speeding through the high altitude.

Through rushing all the way over these three months, he had already hurried from Chiyun Valley to Zezhou.

Furthermore, through resting and recovering Spiritual Qi during these three months, Lin Shen utilized the comprehension of Luck from within the fate-seizing jade pendant. Entering an Epiphany state, he had already cultivated the Startling Thunder Flash to Minor Achievement.

However, the consumption of Luck was also extremely massive. Coupled with the consumption from previous cultivation, right now, the Luck within the fate-seizing jade pendant only had forty or fifty wisps left.
