Chapter 230: Yan Guo Princess Murong Yan

Canglan Academy!

In the courtyard where Luo Han lived, more than a dozen disciples were gathered at this moment.

"Congratulations to Luo Shixiong for becoming the third in our batch among the four major academies to refine two organs."

"Only the two from Lord Lingxiao Academy and Kyoto Academy refined two organs a few days earlier than Lin Shixiong."

"Luo Shixiong broke the record for the fastest refining of two organs in the Academy in the last five years and is the number one among our batch of disciples."

The junior brothers flattered him, but after these words were spoken, there was a silence of a few breaths on the scene.

Even though Luo Han became the first in Canglan Academy to complete the refining of two organs, when mentioning the number one among their batch of disciples, there was still an existence that could not be bypassed.

Lin Shixiong, Lin Chen!

Two months ago, that scene on the martial arts arena still lingered in the minds of many people.

Luo Han scanned the crowd. He knew what these junior brothers were thinking. He coughed lightly and said: "The instructor has already told me that in three days, our Canglan Academy will welcome a visit from the senior and junior brothers of Lord Lingxiao Academy."

"Lord Lingxiao Academy?"

Everyone looked curious. What were the disciples of Lord Lingxiao Academy coming to Canglan Academy for?

"Academy exchange meeting. It has happened in the past, but in previous years, Lord Lingxiao Academy generally chose Qingyun Academy and Kyoto Academy for exchanges and rarely came to our Canglan Academy."

"They didn't come in the past, but they chose our Canglan Academy this batch. Why is this?" A junior brother asked in confusion.

"That's because in the past, those three looked down on our Academy, but because Luo Shixiong refined two organs at the third speed, those few changed their views, which is why Lord Lingxiao Academy chose to come to our Canglan Academy for exchange."

These words were highly recognized by everyone in the courtyard; this was indeed the only explanation.

"It's not just our new disciples. Every exchange between academies also has the old batch. The instructor told me to work hard to consolidate my realm recently. You all must also work hard and strive to improve your strength a bit more within these seven days. When the exchange comes, win glory for the Academy."

The exchange meeting is a private exchange between academies and does not involve assessment results, but it is precisely the results of this kind of exchange meeting that often determine the assessment ranking of the Academy.

Luo Han encouraged these junior brothers with the posture of a senior brother.

And when the other junior brothers on the scene left, leaving only him and two others in the courtyard, the smile on Luo Han's face disappeared.

"How is it?"

"Shixiong, I specifically mentioned that you have already refined two organs when passing by Lin Chen, but Lin Chen had no reaction."

The other two in the courtyard came to Canglan Academy with Luo Han, and the three families were family friends.

"No reaction?"

Luo Han's face turned cold. Since losing face on the martial arts arena last time, he had been holding his breath, wanting to prove that he was no worse than Lin Chen. He cultivated crazily during this period, which was why he could refine two organs in two months.

Originally, in his prediction, Lin Chen would inevitably feel shocked upon hearing this, after all, he had stolen his limelight.

"Luo Shixiong, when the exchange meeting comes, you represent the Academy and defeat the disciples of Lord Lingxiao Academy. At that time, in the hearts of our batch of disciples, they will naturally recognize you as the Senior Brother."

"That's right, Lin Chen is just living off his achievements in the Acupuncture Stage. His performance in the Organ Cultivation Stage is not dazzling, and in the end, he will still be forgotten by everyone."

"I naturally know this principle. I will rest and build up my energy in these three days, adjust my state, and wait for the disciples of Lord Lingxiao Academy to come."

Luo Han had brilliance in his eyes. As long as he defeated the new disciples from Lord Lingxiao Academy, he would replace Lin Chen's position in the hearts of the new batch of disciples in the Academy.

Even the two junior brothers who were very close to him didn't know that he came to Canglan Academy with a purpose.

Canglan Peak.

Lin Chen and Fang Zhan and Xiao Yaojin were sparring. This was already their thirtieth spar.

The three sparred almost every three days.

"Lin Shixiong, why has the gap widened again?"

After the spar ended, Fang Zhan had a bitter smile on his face. He originally thought that by cultivating with Lin Shixiong, they could slowly catch up to Lin Shixiong, but he didn't expect that after two months, not only did they not catch up, but the gap had widened instead.

"Maybe it's because I absorbed more Flood Dragon True Blood than you two Junior Brothers." Lin Chen answered with a smile.

Xiao Yaojin pursed his lips. They knew about Lin Shixiong absorbing Flood Dragon True Blood, and they also knew this was the condition the Academy set for Lin Shixiong when he entered the Academy.

But the two of them also absorbed many precious medicinal herbs when they were young, which were not inferior to Flood Dragon True Blood.

Of course, it couldn't compare to thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood.

But Xiao Yaojin knew his own family's affairs. Even if he were given thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it. Even if it was one drop every three days, he would reach his limit after absorbing at most ten drops.

Lin Shixiong being able to absorb thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood was Lin Shixiong's ability.

Just as Lin Chen was preparing to comfort Xiao Shidi and Fang Shidi again, Jiang Qing's beautiful figure walked in from the courtyard entrance.

"I didn't disturb your cultivation, did I?"

Seeing the three of Lin Chen in the courtyard, Jiang Qing spoke beautifully.

"Sister-in-law, no disturbance. Xiao Shidi and I are also leaving. You came at just the right time."

Fang Zhan answered quickly, pulling Xiao Yaojin and walking toward the courtyard entrance. Jiang Shimei had come, so staying here any longer would be lacking in awareness.

"Let go!"

Being dragged out of the courtyard by Fang Zhan, Xiao Yaojin scanned Fang Zhan coldly.

"Dragging you away is for your own good. Jiang Shimei came to find Lin Shixiong; why stay in the courtyard? To be annoying?"

"At Lin Shixiong's age, he shouldn't be entangled in romance..."

"Isn't your home in the Northern Frontier? Why did you move to the seaside?"

Fang Zhan interrupted Xiao Yaojin's words. Seeing Xiao Yaojin's puzzled expression, he said angrily: "Lin Shixiong and Jiang Shimei are talking about love, how does it hinder you? Your home isn't by the seaside, why are you managing so much?"

"I..."

"I what I... Did I say something wrong? Your Xiao family only knows how to kill demons, but that doesn't mean others have to be the same as you. I ask you, when Lin Shixiong and Jiang Shimei are together, have they delayed their cultivation?"

Xiao Yaojin pursed his lips and chose silence.

Over the past two months, Lin Shixiong hadn't slacked off in his cultivation at all. This was what he had seen with his own eyes.

"I think Lin Shixiong is quite good like this. Every time Lin Shixiong takes a medicinal bath, Jiang Shimei helps add medicinal liquid. How good... We two still have to add medicinal liquid ourselves."

Fang Zhan looked envious. Seeing Fang Zhan's expression, Xiao Yaojin strode away on his own.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Xiao family are all lunatics who only know how to kill demons. Father was right." Fang Zhan muttered, looking at Xiao Yaojin's departing back.

Xiao Yaojin stopped. Fang Zhan's expression changed, a smile appearing on his face. His voice was so small, Xiao Yaojin shouldn't be able to hear it, right?

"Also, don't call me Junior Brother. Who is stronger and who is weaker between you and me is not certain."

Fang Zhan:...

Residence at the foot of the Twelfth Peak.

Murong Yan brewed tea and served it to Murong Jun. "How dare I trouble the Princess to pour tea."

"Fourth Uncle, you are an elder, and in Canglan Academy, there is no Princess Murong Yan, only the disciple Murong Yan."

Murong Jun smiled: "The Princess is right."

"Fourth Uncle, what do you think of Lin Chen?"

After Murong Yan poured tea for Murong Jun, she also poured a cup for herself, but only smelled the tea fragrance without tasting it.

"Not simple."

"How is it not simple? How does he compare to the Three Heroes of my Yan Guo?"

"That naturally cannot be mentioned in the same breath." Murong Jun gave the answer without hesitation.

"Oh, why does Fourth Uncle think so?" Murong Yan raised her eyebrows, a bit surprised.

"Lin Chen's potential is not weaker than the Three Heroes of my Yan Guo, but Daliang's situation is special. Unlike my Yan Guo, which does not forbid martial artists from going to other countries, and other countries do not have hostility toward my Yan Guo. Once they reach the ranked tier, Lin Chen will be slowly left behind just by relying on Daliang's Martial Way resources."

Murong Jun stroked his beard, a smile in his eyes: "More than ten years ago, Daliang produced a Pei Qingming, who was called a genius that only appears once every three hundred years in Daliang. The whole of Daliang had high hopes for him, but what was the result? To this day, he still hasn't been able to enter the high rank. Daliang's Martial Way cultivation system is destined not to cultivate true geniuses."

"It seems Fourth Uncle has an opinion on Daliang's Martial Way cultivation system?"

"Daliang is too isolated. From top to bottom, they are thinking about washing away the shame of the previous dynasty. Other countries are wary of Daliang. Take that Gan Guo, for example. The largest Qiankun Secret Realm, the geniuses of my Yan Guo can enter, but the geniuses of Daliang are blocked outside."

Murong Jun shook his head. He had always felt that Daliang was too vengeful.

Your previous dynasty was weak and was invaded by other countries; that was a matter of course. If everyone remembered the hatred of the previous dynasty, where would the peace of the nine countries be now?

"Although my Yan Guo is small, it is on good terms with surrounding countries, and its Martial Way resources are even richer than Daliang's. Except for Daliang, looking at other countries, which country does not have geniuses of my Yan Guo?"

"Fourth Uncle's words are reasonable."

Murong Yan nodded, talked with Murong Jun for another cup of tea, and personally sent Murong Jun out of the courtyard.

The moment she closed the door and turned around, the smile on Murong Yan's face disappeared, replaced by frost.

"Fourth Uncle's thoughts represent the thoughts of most martial artists in my Yan Guo, but Daliang's approach is the right one."

Murong Yan whispered. The reason she chose to come to Daliang, instead of choosing to go to the academies of other countries, was not only because of Lin Chen, but also because she felt a crisis.

Yan Guo's Martial Way resources are indeed richer than Daliang's, but these resources are not native to Yan Guo; they are just transported to Yan Guo by other countries for sale.

Just because Yan Guo is a neutral small country, it happens not to be feared by other countries.

Yan Guo has also produced many geniuses, including several first-rank martial artists, but most of these first-rank martial artists have stayed in other countries. Except for their Murong royal family, no first-rank martial artist will stay in Yan Guo.

The nine countries have not had a major war for more than two hundred years, but this does not mean that war will not appear.

Back then, Liang Guo killed demons. Facing the coercion of the powerful Han Guo, Daliang's strength was not as good as Han Guo's, but it dared to go head-to-head with Han Guo, and even shouted the tragic slogan of exchanging Han Guo's land for Daliang's land.

Until now, as long as the imperial court waves its arms, countless martial artists will still respond.

But what about Yan Guo?

If other countries really move against Yan Guo, will these Yan Guo martial artists outside return?

These Martial Way powerhouses were just born in Yan Guo and left Yan Guo from the Organ Cultivation Stage or the ranked tier. Do they really have deep feelings for their homeland?

Yan Guo can maneuver between several countries, and even in the royal families of other countries, there are Yan Guo princesses married into them, but this marriage alliance cannot bring any guarantee in the conflict of interests between countries.

Once it really comes to war between countries, Yan Guo will become the first country to be cannibalized by other countries.

And Yan Guo women, especially the women of their Murong family, will become the prey of Martial Way powerhouses and dignitaries of various countries, just because they have a special bloodline in their Murong family that can help martial artists cultivate.

Murong Yan returned to her room. On the rice paper on her desk, fifteen names were written, and at this moment, Murong Yan picked up a pen and crossed out one of the names.

Luo Han!

That night, the silver moon was in the sky.

On the top of Canglan Peak, Lin Chen's face was ferocious, and his whole body was almost twisted into a twist.

To show holiness in front of others, one must suffer behind others.

He was able to persist for two months and absorb twenty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood because he used the help of the title 【Medicine Jar Sick Body】 to carry this pain.

Unfortunately, the pain will not disappear, only be delayed.

Whenever the side effects of 【Medicine Jar Sick Body】 arrived, he would come to the top of Canglan Peak. If he stayed in the courtyard, he was afraid that his screams would scare the two Junior Brothers.

An hour later.

Lin Chen lay on the grass on the top of the mountain, covered in sweat, without even the strength to lift his eyelids.

"Panel!"

With a thought in his heart, the panel appeared, and Lin Chen struggled to open his eyes.

【Host: Lin Chen】

【Realm: Early Organ Cultivation Stage】

【Nine-Turn Organ Cultivation: 1/9】

【Wind and Cloud Palm: Perfect】

【Wind Leg: Breaking Limit】

【Zhenyue Score: Body Forging: 2.99】

【Title: Perfect to the Extreme (Only after breaking the limit is it perfect. Wearing this title can fuse similar breaking-limit realm techniques into the perfect level)】

【Title: Medicine Jar Sick Body (When absorbing energy, pain is reduced, but pain will not disappear, only be delayed. After absorption is complete, feel double the pain)】

【Title: Crown Among Peers (As a senior brother, Martial Way talent is naturally higher than junior brothers) Note: Requires the other party to recognize from the bottom of their heart】

【Fate: 【Water to the Channel】: Extreme Martial Way First Realm, persevere, proceed step by step, unstoppable, no bottleneck trouble.】

Seeing the value on the Zhenyue Score, a smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

In two months, he managed to improve his body forging by more than 0.2.

Without the body forging of the Earth Sha Qi, he relied purely on the improvement of his own physical strength.

This shows that body forging is not something that can only be broken through with the help of special items; devilish training is also effective, but the speed of improvement is very slow.

"When body forging reaches 3.0, which is stepping into the third level, then I can carry out realm breakthroughs."

Regarding his cultivation progress in the Organ Cultivation Stage, the Dean had explained it to him. When physical strength is improved to a certain level, then carry out breakthroughs. In this way, when the second turn comes, the body will also be able to carry it.

"It's just that I don't know what level my current strength has reached."

There was a trace of regret in Lin Chen's eyes. Fang Shidi and Xiao Shidi's progress was also very fast, but compared to him, they were still worse. During this period of sparring, he won more and more easily. In order not to hit their self-esteem, he reserved some strength every time they sparred.
