39: Chapter 39 He couldn't seize this opportunity.

Glancing at Lin Shen, Lin Feng continued to speak, "According to the information I've gathered, this Qin Mang is merely the son of an ordinary mountain village farmer, and it's only because he lives close to the Chiyun Dojo, otherwise he wouldn't even have had the chance to take the test. When his Spiritual Root was tested, it was nothing more than the most common Five Spiritual Roots. Now, he has already entered Chiyun Valley for more than four years, and he was in the same batch as me when I first joined Chiyun Valley."

As he spoke, recalling the information in his mind, Lin Feng became more and more certain, "Young Lord, there is definitely something wrong with Qin Mang. For the past few years, he kept a low profile and was even bullied by many fellow Disciples in the Outer Sect. However, when the once-every-three-years Outer Sect Grand Competition arrived, he soared straight to the sky, displayed extremely astonishing strength, and successfully entered the Inner Sect."

Lin Feng spoke earnestly.

He recounted all the information he had obtained to Lin Shen in one go.

Lin Shen just listened quietly from the side, not interrupting Lin Feng's words.

Listening to Lin Feng's retelling, after he completely finished, Lin Shen finally nodded, "Not bad, I already know about the matter. Pay more attention to more detailed information about this recently."

As he spoke, Lin Shen took out a Storage Pouch from his arms, which contained some Cultivation resources he no longer needed and one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Throwing the Storage Pouch directly to Lin Feng, Lin Shen gave instructions, "The information I want must be much more detailed than what you just described to me. Don't be stingy about spending Spirit Stones. In addition, there are some Cultivation resources inside that I no longer need. Take them and share them with Lin He, Lin Hai, and the others, and strive to raise your cultivation as early as possible. By then, I will help you operate behind the scenes and strive to find you an Outer Sect Steward position. That way, it will be even more convenient for you to work for me!"

"Understood, Young Lord!"

Taking the Storage Pouch, Lin Feng hurriedly nodded seriously.

Especially Lin Shen's last words made his heart extremely excited.

Outer Sect Steward!

As long as he had this identity, he would definitely no longer lack Cultivation resources in the future, and it would also be more convenient and detailed for him to gather information for Lin Shen.

"Do your job well, I am a person who rewards and punishes clearly!"

Lin Shen patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, "Remember, do not expose my existence. Everything you do outside has nothing to do with me. If there is any leakage, you know the consequences..."

"This subordinate will definitely take action before others discover it, not only me, but also including Lin He and Lin Hai!"

Lin Feng hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Lin Shen was very satisfied.

His body turned into a streak of light, directly disappearing into the back mountain of the Chiyun Valley Outer Sect.

Leaving the back mountain of the Chiyun Valley Outer Sect.

Lin Shen concealed his tracks and silently returned to the courtyard, as if he had never stepped a foot outside the courtyard gate.

Returning to the courtyard, he activated the shielding Formation.

Returning to the courtyard, Lin Shen did not Cultivate, but instead sat on the reclining chair in the courtyard.

His gaze looked towards the sky above his head. Above were dense leaves, and the old locust tree in the courtyard had already begun to turn from bare to verdant in this spring season.

Gazing at those tender leaves, Lin Shen's thoughts had long drifted far away.

In his mind, he kept recalling all the detailed information of this Qin Mang.

Unusual, far too unusual!

His growth traces were too unusual.

An ordinary Five Spiritual Roots Cultivator without a Family background to rely on, even if his Body Refining Aptitude was astonishingly high, without enough resources to Cultivate, how could he possibly continuously defeat multiple Qi Refining Late Stage Realm Cultivators in just a short span of four years and fight his way all the way into the Inner Sect?

As a fellow Body Cultivator, Lin Shen knew very well in his heart that the resources consumed by a powerful Body Cultivator were far greater than the consumption of Spiritual Qi Cultivation.

The reason why his own Body Refining cultivation could be raised to the Body Refining Peak was mainly thanks to that several-hundred-year-old crimson blood ginseng, as well as using thunder to undergo Body Tempering when he Cultivated.

And on what grounds did this Qin Mang achieve this?

As the son of a mountain village farmer, on what grounds could he fight his way from the Outer Sect into the Inner Sect in four years?

And he was even directly noticed by an Elder of the Artifact Refining Hall, who took him in as a Named Disciple, while also being favored by multiple Inner Sect Senior Sisters.

If this isn't astonishing Luck, what is it?

Could it be based on his Five Spiritual Roots Aptitude?

Aside from astonishing Luck, Lin Shen now strongly suspected that this Qin Mang must be harboring a supreme treasure on him.

Otherwise, how could his Physical Body cultivation have improved so rapidly?

"Just what kind of supreme treasure could it be..."

His gaze penetrated through those tender leaves and shot directly into the sky as Lin Shen muttered to himself, "Is it a treasure that can enhance Physical Body cultivation? Or is it a treasure that can acquire a massive amount of Cultivation resources? Or could it be that his mediocrity in the previous years was actually his true essence, and his sudden rise later on was because his Luck was astonishing, erupting overnight to obtain a powerful Legacy?"

Lin Shen couldn't figure it out.

Simply put, he stopped thinking about it too much.

Lin Shen suddenly stood up from the reclining chair, his eyes blooming with sharp light, "Why think so much? No matter what kind of treasure or powerful Legacy it is, this Opportunity... Qin Mang cannot handle it, and I, Lin Shen, will take it..."

An ordinary man is innocent, but harboring a treasure makes him guilty.

Having an Opportunity or a treasure without sufficient strength to protect it, or failing to hide it carefully enough, was the greatest crime!

All of these things were slowly drawing a full stop to Qin Mang's life.

Whether it was the treasure, the Legacy, or Qin Mang's astonishing Luck, in his heart, Lin Shen had already treated this Qin Mang whom he had never met as a person who must die.

"Let's gather information for the time being..."

"We can't rush it now... After all, it won't be long before I head to Yunzhou."

"Let Lin Feng collect information first. After I return from Yunzhou, I can start making arrangements."

"I'd like to see just how many wisps of Luck this Qin Mang can provide me, and what kind of treasure he actually has..."

Lin Shen muttered to himself, turned around, and walked into the room.

Time flew by in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, it was already a month and a half later.

During this month and a half, Lin Shen cultivated while gathering some spiritual talismans with powerful explosive force or disposable consumable Magical Artifacts.

The day mentioned by Mo Shenggu was getting closer and closer.

At this time, since he was going to leave and stay away from Chiyun Valley for a period of time, he naturally had to prepare everything thoroughly.

After all, aside from executing missions, he had never truly ventured far from the territory controlled by Chiyun Valley, nor had he witnessed what the true world of immortality cultivation was really like.

After getting everything ready, Lin Shen cultivated while waiting.

Another three days passed.

On this day, he had just finished cultivating.

The communication spiritual talisman suddenly flashed and vibrated.

Opening the communication spiritual talisman to take a look, it was precisely the message left behind by Mo Shenggu.

"Has Master's congratulatory gift been prepared? It's finally time to leave the place where Chiyun Valley is located and truly take a look at the outside world..."

Lin Shen muttered to himself, his body soaring into the air, flying with his sword, and rapidly heading towards Luoyun Peak.
