Chapter 902: Chapter 874: Li Chen’s Plan

The contents of this booklet, as Elder Ji and Lin Yi speculated earlier,

are exactly what he needs.

Since Li Chen began cultivating, aside from the cultivation techniques, most of the progress he made was through his own exploration and honing his skills.

Based on his real-life combat experiences, he developed a unique style of fighting.

However, when it came to systematic training in True Qi, he found himself highly lacking.

He wasn’t sure whether it was because his grandfathers had forgotten to teach him or if it was intentional on their part.

Anyway, up until now, Li Chen’s cultivation relied solely on his own efforts and insights.

To him, cultivation felt like fumbling through a pitch-black path. Although he had cultivation techniques, as well as certain skills and techniques for confronting enemies,

none of these came together in any form of cohesive system. Everything depended entirely on his own research and assembly.

But the booklet in his hands detailed the most orthodox methods of True Qi cultivation and application.

To Li Chen, this booklet was like a much-needed rainfall, offering the greatest help he could hope for at this time.

"However..."

At this moment, Li Chen began contemplating his grandfathers’ intentions.

The methods and techniques mentioned in the booklet were clearly things his grandfathers must have known. However, why they didn’t pass them to him earlier... he couldn’t quite understand.

Even so, Li Chen’s current combat prowess had already reached a terrifying level.

If he could fully integrate the systematic practices outlined in this booklet, his combat power would soar to unprecedented heights.

"Perhaps next time I face another Earth-level monster, I won’t be in such a sorry state," Li Chen thought confidently.

Li Chen sat alone in his room, intently studying the booklet. Before he realized it, half the day had gone by.

It wasn’t until late at night that he finally heard someone knocking at the door.

"Hmm?"

Opening the door, Li Chen was surprised to find three women—Lin Yi, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Wang Qianqian—standing outside.

"What are you all doing here?" Li Chen asked, shaking his head with a wry smile at the sight of them.

"Even though you said nothing was wrong, we were still worried about you!" Lin Yi rolled her eyes as she looked at Li Chen.

"Brother-in-law, I heard you fought the old monster who caused all that havoc in Linchuan. How did it go?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked as soon as she walked into the room.

At this, Li Chen let out a bitter laugh. "How’d it go? Look at me! Do you see me looking victorious? I lost!"

"You lost?" Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in disbelief. "How could you lose?"

Li Chen shook his head again and reached out to pat Lin Xiaoxiao on the head. "Your brother-in-law isn’t invincible, you know. There are plenty of people out there much stronger than me. Haven’t you seen that before?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao fell silent.

She knew exactly who Li Chen was referring to. Though she hadn’t said anything at the time, she could tell even then that the old Taoist they had encountered was far stronger than Li Chen.

"Last time? What happened last time?" Lin Yi asked, glancing curiously between the two.

"Oh, nothing." Li Chen brushed it off with a laugh, pretending to be nonchalant. "We were talking about the expert we ran into while taking Xiaoxiao home last time."

At that moment, Wang Qianqian spoke up from the side.

"Brother Chen, that old man who caused trouble in Linchuan—what level is he really at? Was he truly so powerful that even you couldn’t defeat him?"

By now, Wang Qianqian had already become a Yellow Rank Master, and thanks to her unwavering dedication to cultivation, she had reached the Mid-Yellow Rank.

While this level might not be worth mentioning in the eyes of true experts, it was enough to make her nearly invincible against ordinary people.

Nowadays, Wang Qianqian no longer feared running into thugs or troublemakers.

If she did, it wouldn’t be her in trouble—the unlucky party would undoubtedly be the other side.

After everything she had gone through, Wang Qianqian wasn’t as naively kind and soft-hearted as she once was.

When dealing with villains, she no longer hesitated to strike when necessary.

After all, a push from a Yellow Rank warrior could easily injure a regular person. The disparity was so great that Wang Qianqian and ordinary people no longer stood on the same starting line.

"That old man..." Li Chen hesitated for a moment after hearing Wang Qianqian’s question, then spoke with a grim expression.

"I’m not entirely sure of his exact strength, but this much I’m certain: He is definitely an Earth-level expert!" Li Chen said solemnly.

"Earth level?!" The three women gasped in unison.

Since beginning their cultivation journeys, Li Chen had explained the ranking systems and hierarchical strengths in detail to them.

This allowed them to fully grasp the vast disparities that existed between each level.

Hearing the term "Earth-level expert" for the first time left them at a complete loss.

To them, even Li Chen—merely at the Profound Level—already seemed like an unstoppable force.

The sudden mention of someone at the Earth Level overwhelmed them.

"But don’t worry," Li Chen reassured them with a smile. "That old man has already been chased out of Linchuan. However, I suspect he’s now lurking just outside Linchuan, waiting for me to step outside."

"What should we do then?" Lin Yi asked anxiously. "Why don’t you fly out of Linchuan and go to the Lin Family for now?"

"What a silly suggestion," Li Chen laughed. "Do you really want me to drag such a huge problem to your family’s doorstep?"

Realizing her mistake, Lin Yi stuck out her tongue playfully, looking a little embarrassed.

"Alright, don’t worry," Li Chen said. "I’ll figure out a way to handle this. I know you’re all concerned about me, but at the same time, I’m just as worried about you. That’s why I promise to settle this matter as soon as possible."

After a brief pause, Li Chen continued, "That old man clearly isn’t someone I can handle right now. So there’s no need for me to fight him to the death. All I need is to get him to leave Linchuan. Otherwise, if he continues camping outside Linchuan, are we supposed to stay trapped here for the rest of our lives?"

"Brother-in-law, it’s really not that big of a deal," Lin Xiaoxiao muttered. "I saw some news reports about him. He’s so ridiculously old—maybe he only has a few years left to live. We could just stay in Linchuan for a while until he kicks the bucket."

"Thud!"

Li Chen knocked her lightly on the head. "Dummy! Didn’t I already tell you? A Martial Artist’s lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. With his strength, I wouldn’t be surprised if he lived well past a hundred years. If he refuses to die, are we supposed to stay holed up in Linchuan for decades?"

"So," Li Chen said, waving his hand dramatically, "I still have to figure out a way to lure him away."

"And now, I think I already have a rough plan."
