21: Chapter 21 Lin Family Disciples, Lin Feng

"Boom!!!"

Lin Shen stood up slightly, looking at his own palm as the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, he clenched his hands fiercely, transforming his palms into fists, and terrifying lightning instantly burst forth in mid-air, resembling a sudden clap of thunder on dry ground.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad!"

Seeing that his Physical Body strength had improved by such a huge margin, Lin Shen couldn't help laughing out loud: "I didn't expect my Body Refining path to break through to Qi Refining Stage 9 even earlier than my Qi Refining. This is all thanks to that several-hundred-year-old crimson blood ginseng! The Liu Family truly deserved to be wiped out, it was done brilliantly!"

Lin Shen felt quite wonderful inside.

Regarding the complete annihilation of the Liu Family, he felt not a shred of guilt in his heart.

This world was simply like this.

The weak would only end up as stepping stones on others' Cultivation paths.

In the Cultivation world, how could there be so much mercy?

When enemies meet, they encounter each other on a narrow path.

It's either you die or I perish.

Furthermore, the Liu Family deserved to be destroyed in the first place, and the consequence of their entire Family being wiped out was also brought about by themselves.

As the weak, instead of carefully abiding by the rules established by Chiyun Valley, they actually thought about feigning compliance, hoodwinking the Sect, and raising evil Cultivators of Demonic Path Sects.

How could such a Family not be destroyed?

How could there be any justice in heaven!

"With my current strength, ordinary Qi Refining Stage 9 Cultivators will no longer be my opponent. Even with a sneak attack, I have the strength to fight someone at the even more advanced Qi Refining Peak Realm!"

Looking himself over, Lin Shen was still quite satisfied with his current Body Refining cultivation level and actual combat power.

During the Qi Refining stage, general Body Cultivators were much stronger than Qi Refining Cultivators.

After all, during the Qi Refining stage, the enemy-combat methods possessed by Qi Refining Cultivators were relatively single-faceted; as long as they were approached by Body Cultivators, disaster was certain.

Of course, if one broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it would be different.

Those who broke through to Foundation Establishment could fly through the air for a long time without relying on external objects, and their Physical Body strength would also increase significantly. Coupled with various powerful methods driven by abundant spiritual power, they naturally could not be compared to Qi Refining Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

"However... the Luck accumulated in this jade pendant is getting less and less... It seems I will have to use it more sparingly from now on, or find someone carrying dense Luck sooner."

Lin Shen cast his gaze once more toward the jade pendant hanging around his neck.

Looking at this jade pendant, a myriad of emotions stirred in his heart, mixed with a hint of disappointment.

The functions inside this jade pendant were indeed very useful; just the single feature of enhancing Comprehension Ability allowed his Cultivation Technique and combat Spells to progress rapidly over the past three years.

But the Luck contained within this jade pendant was also getting less and less, leaving only the last two wisps by now.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried hunting other ordinary Cultivators to acquire Luck.

However, the Luck on these people was extremely thin. After he killed dozens of Cultivators, the Luck he obtained was hardly enough to condense even a single wisp.

Being so minimal, this forced Lin Shen to give up the idea of slaughtering those Cultivators without Luck to enhance his own strength.

Right now, the only course of action was to look for those with great Luck. Only in this way could killing one person be worth tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand, ordinary Cultivators.

But it was also a great pity.

For the past three years, he had been inquiring about Cultivation Techniques and Spells regarding the Qi-viewing technique.

However, this type of Spell and Cultivation Technique was extremely rare. Most of them had already been lost since ancient times, with only a small fraction surviving.

Such a rare item naturally did not exist in the entire Chiyun Valley, and many Cultivators had not even heard of Cultivation Techniques like the Qi-viewing technique.

"There's no other way, I'll just inquire about it for now. If there's any news regarding this aspect, even if I have to take a slight risk, I must acquire it!"

Lin Shen clenched his fists.

He was cautious by nature, but when facing decisions regarding his future growth direction, he was equally decisive!

Risks that ought to be taken still had to be taken!

Only by cultivating that Qi-viewing technique to peek into the Luck on others could his jade pendant play its maximum role, and his Comprehension Ability could keep improving, frequently entering that brief state of slight Epiphany.

"However, although I don't have the Qi-viewing technique right now, I can be certain that Wang Zhan must be a person with dense Luck. Otherwise, how could a Five Spiritual Roots person without any status or background obtain such a Sword Bone treasure?"

Thinking that Wang Zhan likely possessed terrifying Luck, as well as that extremely precious piece of Sword Bone, Lin Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous light radiating from them.

Such a treasure...

Such dense Luck...

It really made his heart itch uncontrollably...

Taking a deep breath to suppress the greed in his heart, Lin Shen maintained his harmless-to-humans-and-animals appearance.

After pondering for a moment.

Lin Shen cast his gaze into the distance and took out a communication talisman.

His lips moved slightly, without knowing what he said.

That communication talisman instantly turned into a streak of spiritual light, silently heading into the distance.

...

"Lin Feng pays respects to Young Lord."

About two incense sticks of time later, a tall, robust youth of only fifteen or sixteen years old quickly arrived at the courtyard where Lin Shen lived.

This person was named Lin Feng.

He also belonged to the Lin Family.

A year ago, after Lin Shen's cultivation broke through, he took time out during a mission to return to the Lin Family for a trip.

At that time, his father Lin Hu suggested that the Lin Family select a batch of Lin Family disciples who met the age requirement and possessed superior Heart-Nature to participate in the next Chiyun Valley assessment.

The reason given was naturally that he didn't want Lin Shen to fight alone in Chiyun Valley, and having trustworthy people by his side to help out with chores would also be exceptionally good.

To Lin Hu's suggestion, Lin Shen naturally agreed.

Just as his father said.

He indeed needed some trustworthy people in Chiyun Valley to help do some tedious matters, so he wouldn't have to do everything personally.

And this batch of Lin Family disciples selected by the Lin Family who met the age requirement and had superior Heart-Nature had received the Lin Family's cultivation and education since childhood, holding absolute loyalty to him, the Young Lord, and Lin Hu's Family.

Such subordinates were also their own people, so using them was naturally reassuring and convenient.

Three months ago, Chiyun Valley held the once-every-three-years Immortal Ascension Assembly as scheduled.

This time, with Lin Shen backing them up, coupled with the Lin Family's rapid development over the past three years, they directly gathered more than thirty Lin Family disciples who met the age requirement and had superior Heart-Nature to participate in the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

However, it was a pity that the probability of having Spiritual Roots was too low; only three people successfully joined Chiyun Valley, and they were only outer Sect members.

Now three months had passed.

With some resources secretly provided by Lin Shen, Lin Feng's cultivation grew the fastest at this time, already reaching the cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage 2.

"How are things going on your side? Do all the Utility Disciples listen to you?"

Looking at Lin Feng, Lin Shen nodded faintly and asked.
