Chapter 221

Bafang City, Bafang Tower.

A high-end restaurant in Bafang City.

At this moment, a quarter of an hour had passed since the battle of Gui Tianlie and the other three provoking at the city gate.

The crowd watching at the city gate had dispersed, but news of this battle only began to spread in Bafang City as these watching youths entered the city and discussed it.

"Lin Lin Shidi, you really won glory for our Daliang."

The wine and dishes were on the table, and Qu Feng spoke with a smile. There were not many people at their table. Except for him representing the Canglan Martial Way Academy to welcome Lin Chen, the remaining academy disciples did not come.

Besides Lin Chen and Qu Feng, there were also Ye Feng, Shen Ze, and five others.

Xiao Yaojin did not participate and left on his own after the battle ended.

As for Gui Tianlie and the other three, they were carried away by a middle-aged man from Zheng Guo after fainting.

After all, they were people from the eight great families of Zheng Guo. Coming to Liang Guo, there must be a Ranked expert guarding them behind the scenes.

"Thanks to that Lin Lin Shidi Xiao, I was able to figure out the other party's strength." Lin Chen said modestly.

It was just that when he said this, the expressions of Qu Feng and Ye Feng and the others on the side all became a bit strange. With your strength, do you still need others to help you figure it out?

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi... you are truly modest!"

Finally, Ye Feng held it in for a long time and squeezed out this sentence.

Because of Ye Feng and the others, Qu Feng didn't just chat around Lin Chen. During the conversation, he also asked Ye Feng and the others about some things. Lin Chen then learned that except for Ye Feng, the other four of these five people were from the capital.

He also learned that because of him, many geniuses who would not have chosen the Canglan Martial Way Academy this time had all chosen the Canglan Martial Way Academy.

"Lin Chen, you don't know, when you left your name on Mount Wudao seven times, Yu Yu Jiaoxi Liu's face bloomed with laughter. The instructors sent by the academy to recruit disciples everywhere must talk about you leaving your name seven times. Many geniuses who were originally prepared to join other academies changed their minds in the end."

Anyway, everyone present was going to join the academy and become disciples of the academy, so Qu Feng didn't hide it and directly said some of the academy's magical operations.

Using Lin Chen as a signboard to attract other geniuses to join the academy.

But just like this, it wasn't enough for Qu Feng to take it out and talk about it at the wine table.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Liu told me personally that the instructors going out to recruit disciples prepared two sets of rhetoric. First, use you, Lin Chen, as a signboard. Even you, Lin Chen, chose the Canglan Martial Way Academy, which shows that the Canglan Martial Way Academy is no worse than the other three academies, making these geniuses feel moved."

"This is the first set of rhetoric. If these geniuses are not moved, then change to the second set of rhetoric."

"Lin Chen, left his name on Mount Wudao seven times, Daliang Martial Way Student Exemplar, recognized as invincible in the Open-Acupuncture Stage, don't you want to defeat him?"

"As long as you join the Canglan Martial Way Academy, you have this opportunity!"

"No chance in the Open-Acupuncture Stage, but not necessarily in the Organ Cultivation Stage. Lin Chen is only invincible in the Open-Acupuncture Stage, not invincible in the Organ Cultivation Stage."

"What if it's the same in the academy competition later? How can it be the same? The world will only remember the first person to defeat Lin Chen, not the second, the third..."

Lin Chen:......

This was using his value to the extreme.

He suddenly felt that he had received too little of the thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood.

"It's good that you defeated Gui Tianlie and the other three this time. Once the news spreads, I think it can save you a lot of trouble."

Qu Feng blinked his eyes, and everyone present understood what he meant.

Without today's battle, once Lin Chen arrived at the Canglan Martial Way Academy, those geniuses who came specifically to defeat Lin Chen would all launch challenges at Lin Chen.

But with tonight's battle, these people would have to weigh whether they had the strength.

After eating and drinking, Qu Feng burped: "Bafang City is very prosperous. Shall I take you junior brothers to see the excitement?"

Hearing Qu Feng's words, Ye Feng and the four also laughed, and the only woman, Peng Jingqi, did not object.

"Lin Lin Shidi, do you have other things to do?"

Seeing Lin Chen didn't respond, Qu Feng asked curiously.

"I'm afraid the impact will be bad. After all, I was seen by many people when I entered the city. If it's discovered that I went to that place, it will lead to criticism."

Lin Chen didn't need to think to know what the activity after eating and drinking was, not to mention that the eyes of Ye Feng and the others told him the result.

He was the Daliang Martial Way Student Exemplar and had just experienced a battle. Appearing in a place of pleasure at this time would likely cause others to gossip.

Lin Chen was not afraid of others' words, but he was now in the spotlight, and every move he made was under close attention. Jiang Jiang Shijie had already arrived at the Canglan Martial Way Academy a step ahead. If it reached Jiang Jiang Shijie's ears...

He couldn't let Jiang Jiang Shijie down, unless... it was of a private nature.

"Criticism?"

Qu Feng was very confused: "What criticism is there for going to the Martial Way Palace?"

Lin Chen:???

Bafang City, Martial Way Palace.

Lin Chen stood in front of the Martial Way Palace, a hint of emotion on his face.

"Lin Lin Shidi, what's wrong?"

Qu Feng saw Lin Chen stop and asked curiously.

"Jiangnan Dao has no Martial Way Palace!"

As soon as these words came out, Qu Feng and the others fell into silence.

"It's nothing, just feeling emotional. Lin Lin Shixiong Qu, let's go in."

Lin Chen quickly sorted out his emotions. On the way here, he already knew what the Martial Way Palace was.

The Martial Way Palace is a place for young martial artists to learn.

But unlike the Martial Garden in Poyang County, the Martial Way Palace is built by local government offices and is divided into two parts, including an area below Open-Acupuncture martial artists, and an Organ Cultivation area.

Below Open-Acupuncture, including youths who have not learned martial arts, they can all go in. Inside, there will be instructors to teach some basic knowledge of the martial way, including rare bird and beast meat, and knowledge about the human body's Qi and blood.

In this way, youths can understand a lot of martial way common sense before entering the Wu Tang.

Even if they cultivate in the Wu Tang, they will understand faster than youths who have not been in contact with the martial way.

Although Daliang stipulates that one can only enter the Wu Tang at the age of fifteen, many youths already know some fist techniques and moves before the age of fifteen. After entering the Wu Tang, they can start cultivating Qi Refining techniques without too much guidance from instructors.

Jiangnan Dao cultivates the Warm Sun Fist, while the East Sea Region Wu Tang teaches a variety of techniques.

Each student can choose a fist technique or palm technique they are good at to cultivate based on their contact and understanding of the martial way in the Martial Way Palace before.

Those who enter the Wu Tang can almost all cultivate Qi and essence.

And from the mouths of Ye Feng and others, they were very familiar with the Martial Way Palace. It seemed that the Martial Way Palace was something every region should have.

Standing in front of the Martial Way Palace gate, Lin Chen remembered an article he saw on the internet in his previous life: It takes six minutes for Xiao Ming to go from home to the Youth Palace, and it took me twenty years to enter the Youth Palace for the first time.

When he saw this sentence on the internet, he subconsciously clicked on the search bar: What is the Youth Palace like?

That year, he was already twenty-six years old.

Everyone says Jiangnan Dao is poor, and Jiangnan Dao's martial way is at the bottom. Before this, Lin Chen actually didn't have a very deep concept, especially when he could leave his name on Mount Wudao and compete for rankings with geniuses from all over Daliang, the concept of this poverty became even more blurred.

He just felt that Jiangnan Dao was worse than other regions, and thought it couldn't be much worse. Lord Su, Lord Bu, and their teachers cried poor in front of Lord Kong just to fight for more resources for Jiangnan Dao.

But now it seems that Jiangnan Dao is really poor.

The main Rank-Wave Palm of the East Sea Region Wu Tang is stronger than the Warm Sun Fist. Those who also cultivate Qi and essence, youths who cultivate the Rank-Wave Palm, will have much stronger power than the Warm Sun Fist.

Is it because Jiangnan Dao doesn't have other more powerful Qi Refining techniques?

No!

It's just because the cultivation cost of the Warm Sun Fist is the lowest!

Students in the Jiangnan Dao Wu Tang pursue cultivating Qi and essence, not pursuing stronger Qi and essence.

Martial Way Palace Second Area.

Only open to Organ Cultivation martial artists.

"We won't go to the training ground. Several junior brothers don't look up to it, and the academy also has them."

Qu Feng brought Lin Chen and the others to a place like a market, which was extremely lively.

"The Martial Way Palace has opened a trading market for us Organ Cultivation martial artists. If you have any good things, you can take them here to sell, including some elixirs and medicinal materials. The price is much cheaper than outside shops. However, if you can't see clearly, don't buy easily. The rule here is that you cannot go back on your word after the transaction."

"Lin Lin Shixiong Qu, we understand the rules. Transactions in the Martial Way Palace depend purely on discernment. If your discernment is not good and you buy a fake, you can only say your discernment is not good."

Ye Feng smiled, he was already a bit impatient.

"Besides, you cannot return or exchange after the transaction. If you see something at the same time as someone else, you must follow the order of arrival. You must wait for the person in front to finish the transaction with the stall owner before coming forward."

Shen Ze added from the side. This was mainly for Lin Chen to hear.

These people all understood the rules of the Martial Way Palace, and Senior Lin Lin Shidi's words just now clearly meant that Jiangnan Dao had no Martial Way Palace, so naturally he didn't know these rules. Lin Lin Shixiong Qu's introduction just now was also for Senior Lin Lin Shidi to hear. It was just that this guy Ye Feng hadn't reacted yet.

Listening to these rules, Lin Chen inexplicably thought of the antique street in his previous life. These rules were somewhat similar to the antique street.

It was just that he was curious, with the family background of Ye Feng and the others, what else could attract them in the Organ Cultivation Stage? Could make them so excited?

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi, ordinary things naturally can't catch our eyes, but some strange things will appear in this kind of market. Even the sellers don't know what these things are for. Either they sell them at a low price, or they sell them at a high price. Anyway, it depends on the discernment of both parties."

Peng Jingqi saw Lin Chen's confusion and explained from the side.

Lin Chen nodded, understanding in his heart. Ye Feng and the others had good family backgrounds, and their knowledge was naturally broad. Compared with the sellers, they could judge whether a strange object had value from its appearance or smell.

And those sellers who had strange things they couldn't judge didn't choose to go to some shops to ask. It was likely that they were afraid of being pitted by the shops. Since that was the case, they simply put them in the market and marked a high price to gamble on whether there was a sucker.

Ye Feng and the others didn't necessarily want to find good things in the market; it was more likely that they enjoyed the pleasure of picking up leaks.

"Lin Lin Shidi, put on a hood. In case you are recognized, maybe people will ask for an exorbitant price when they see you."

Qu Feng picked up a few bamboo hats with veils from the entrance of the market. Lin Chen took them and put them on his head, just covering his face.

After everyone had put on their veils, they headed straight for the market.

"Let's shop separately. If there is anything you like but are not sure about, we can discuss it then."

"Okay!"

The market was not a road, but a square. Many stall owners found a place to set up a stall with coarse linen cloth, and a space that could accommodate three or five people was reserved between the two stalls.

Lin Chen and Ye Feng separated and walked randomly to one of the areas, his gaze under the veil quickly scanning the dazzling goods on the stalls.

Medicinal materials, elixirs, broken weapons, various yellowed animal skin scrolls, and even some incomplete secret manuals...

However, Lin Chen didn't touch them. For one thing, he had no advantage in this aspect and couldn't distinguish true from false. He looked up at the others. Ye Feng was holding a uniquely shaped hourglass and was talking to the stall owner.

Found a good thing so quickly?

Although he was a bit curious about what Ye Feng liked about that hourglass, Lin Chen didn't go over, but continued to shop on his own.

When he walked to the sixth stall, he stopped.

The owner of the stall was a man in his thirties. There were not many items on the entire stall. Compared with the goods that almost filled the stalls of other stall owners, this one could be said to be pitifully few.

One person couldn't really have so many strange things to sell.

Lin Chen was very clear about this point. Those stalls filled with various goods were likely professional stall owners.

It was almost impossible to find good things from professional stall owners. This kind of professional stall owner more often took advantage of the martial artists who came here with the intention of picking up leaks, and then took the opportunity to fool them into selling worthless items at high prices.

This kind with only a few goods was more like someone who truly brought things to sell.

Of course, there was also a possibility that this stall owner was deliberately doing the opposite to make buyers relax their vigilance.

"Stall owner, what is this?"

Lin Chen had walked all the way here and knew the rules of conversation between buyers and sellers. He squatted down first. As long as he squatted in front of the stall, others would not come to this stall again.

"If I knew what this was, I wouldn't put it out for sale."

Lin Chen:......

It was indeed such a principle.

"Can I touch it to observe?"

"Yes, but you can only look at the first page and cannot look further back. What I can tell you is that there are words on every page of this book."

Lin Chen nodded and picked up the yellowed book in front of the stall.

The reason why he was attracted to this book was because of the words on the cover.

"Happy Ascension Post"

This name was extremely easy to make people imagine!

But what attracted Lin Chen was not these words, or to be precise, not the content of the words, but the handwriting.

When he saw the handwriting of these five words for the first time, he was attracted.

Just looking at it, his mood was inexplicably a bit happy.

Picking up the book, Lin Chen opened it to the first page.

【The world is bitter, one should enjoy life in time...】

The first page had a total of fifteen words, named "Enjoyment Chapter".

Although the name was also very easy to make people imagine, the content was very serious.

【Watching flowers breaks anger, listening to rain can forget worries.】

【Drink the dew of the three mountains, drunk on the boat of the five lakes.】

【Intent rises to the cloud-parting hand, heart clear and free.】

In his previous life, he would inevitably be bought by someone to hang a sheep's head and sell dog meat. I took off my pants, and you show me this?

Lin Chen sighed in his heart, but didn't look any further, and directly looked at the stall owner: "How much?"

"One thousand taels!"

Lin Chen:......

ps: It's the middle of the month, can I ask for a monthly ticket?
