Chapter 101: Chapter 98: Arrival at Yanlai City, Suppressing Bandits at Luomu Mountain! (5,000-Word Chapter)

Pill Peak.

Han Jihai, Lin Chen, and Miko gathered around the table in silence.

After a while, Lin Chen couldn’t help but say:

“Master, what does the Sect say…”

Han Jihai shook his head and said:

“Ha, I don’t see any reason to stay at Changchun Sect anymore…”

“After I take you to avenge Wushan, we’ll pack up and prepare to leave the mountain.”

Lin Chen, upon hearing this, showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

The air fell into silence once again.

Moments later, suddenly a wave of Spiritual Energy was sensed in the air.

Han Jihai got up, looked towards the residence of the third senior brother, and suddenly said:

“Xiao’Er, successfully achieved Foundation Establishment…”

As the words fell, a figure pushed open the door and entered.

Miko saw Jing Xiao’Er’s calm face, seeming not to feel the joy following Foundation Establishment, and couldn’t help but ask:

“Laosan, what was the quality of your Foundation Establishment?”

Jing Xiao’Er, upon hearing this, managed to pull out a faint smile and said:

“The years of waiting were not in vain… Perfect Foundation Establishment, smoothly accomplished!”

“Hmm?”

Han Jihai abruptly stood up, studied Jing Xiao’Er closely, and finally spoke with some pleasure in his voice:

“It seems your True Spirit Root wasn’t wasted… With Perfect Foundation Establishment, a Golden Core won’t be difficult!”

Jing Xiao’Er slightly nodded after hearing this, having finally achieved the long-sought Perfect Foundation Establishment, yet felt little joy in his heart.

Eagerly, he asked:

“Master, when will we set off to avenge Second Senior Brother? Tomorrow marks the seventh day since his passing…”

Han Jihai glanced at the sky after hearing this and said:

“Since you’ve broken through successfully, we’ll set off immediately!”

With that, Han Jihai’s gaze turned to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded and said:

“Master, I’ll accompany you all…”

“Good!”

And so, everyone packed up and gathered at the open space on Pill Peak.

Han Jihai took out a Spiritual Boat, making it several yards wide.

After leaping onto the Spiritual Boat, he said:

“We’re going to avenge Wushan, we’ll need to fly over two thousand miles, and your True Essence reserves won’t suffice.”

“I’ll take you to Yanlai City to rest for a night first, and tomorrow we’ll go to kill those Tribulation Cultivators.”

Everyone boarded the Spiritual Boat upon hearing this.

On the Spiritual Boat, a True Essence Shield was raised, and they flew down to dozens of yards above the ground.

Then they sped off towards the northwest.

“Such fast flying speed…”

Standing on the Spiritual Boat, Lin Chen felt slightly surprised in his heart.

“Although Master is only at Foundation Establishment Perfection, his True Essence is abundant, probably even some Fake Pill Cultivators can’t match it…”

Lin Chen estimated that if they maintained this flying speed along the way, they could cover over two thousand miles in less than three two-hour periods.

Miko saw Lin Chen seemingly deep in thought, mistaking it for concern.

She smiled and said reassuringly:

“Little Junior Brother, don’t worry! This old man is formidable! If it weren’t for his sole pursuit of the Upper Grade Golden Core… he probably would have achieved Core Formation already.”

“Our Pill Peak wouldn’t be ranked at the bottom of Changchun Sect…”

Lin Chen showed a strange expression upon hearing this.

To be honest, Pill Peak’s low ranking doesn’t seem much related to Master… but it does have a lot to do with you, Senior Sister.

However… Upper Grade Golden Core, huh?

Lin Chen was intrigued.

“In the Fourth Layer of the Scripture Pavilion, there’s information about the quality of Core Formation.”

“Those who form a Fake Pill are the weakest among Core Formation Cultivators… They enjoy five hundred years of life span in the Core Formation Realm but have no further potential for advancement.”

“Above Fake Pill is Golden Core! Golden Core is divided into nine grades, with grades one to three being Lower Grade Golden Core, which allows cultivation up to the late Golden Core period.”

“Grades four to six are Middle Grade Golden Core, which can be cultivated to Golden Core Perfection, with a glimpse of hope for the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Grades seven to nine are Upper Grade Golden Core… with a great probability to form a Nascent Soul, enjoying a thousand years of life span!”

Lin Chen quickly recalled these in his mind, and mused:

“It seems that Master hides his true abilities… To strive for an Upper Grade Golden Core, Master’s foundation must be solid!”

At this point, Lin Chen understood that Master taking everyone from Pill Peak wasn’t to send them to their deaths.

Rather, he genuinely had the confidence to reclaim Second Senior Brother’s remains and kill the Tribulation Cultivators to avenge him.

Thinking this, Lin Chen felt much more relieved.

The Spiritual Boat sped off towards the northwest…

After flying for over two two-hour periods, it journeyed across mountains and valleys.

Han Jihai’s expression remained unchanged as if this kind of Artifact Control flight was easy for him.

From sparsely populated areas to occasional sightings of towns.

Ultimately encountering more and more mortals along the way…

Until the afternoon, the Spiritual Boat stopped outside a city.

The ancient city had walls ten yards high, with crimson gates that were quite impressive.

On the city gate, the words Yanlai City were written.

“Here, this is Yanlai City… the capital of the mortal kingdom Yanlai Country!”

“With a population of millions… in the city, there are over ten small Cultivation Clans, among which the Xiao, Meng, Li, Cai, four Great Cultivation Families are the most prosperous…”

Looking at the city close at hand, Lin Chen silently thought.

After verifying their identity, the city gate guards respectfully sent the four into the city.

After walking some distance, Han Jihai said:

“We will avenge your Senior Brother tomorrow, everyone must rest well today and adjust your conditions to the peak state.”

After saying this, Han Jihai looked at Lin Chen again and couldn’t help but say:

“Chen, why don’t you stay in the city tomorrow?”

Lin Chen shook his head slightly and said: “Don’t worry, Master, I’ve got it under control!”

Han Jihai didn’t say anything more after hearing this.

Entering the city, they didn’t have much thought of sightseeing.

After checking into an inn, everyone went to bed early.

…

Early the next morning.

Lin Chen got up and started preparing his Magical Treasure and battle gear.

Three Flying Knives of Upper Grade Magical Artifact, Demon-slaying Flying Blade, and Profound Ink Armor, these were the forces Lin Chen could wield.

“However, with my strength… even against Fake Pill Realm Cultivators, they cannot easily harm me.”
