Chapter 2208: Chapter 2228: Fellow Cultivator, You’re Doing Well!_1

Lin Chen had not expected to make such a special friend during his trip to Meditation Valley.

Divine Thief!

A small sect with only around 30 members could become renowned throughout the world, instilling fear in others, and even causing Hanlin Valley, one of the twelve subsects of Myriad Immortal Hall, to lose face—this wasn’t something just anyone could achieve.

Over drinks, Lin Chen and Bai Yunfei had a lively conversation.

Although there was a vast disparity in strength between Lin Chen and Bai Yunfei, Lin Chen naturally kept his guard up, especially since he had revealed Linglong Tower in front of everyone. With the body of a Fairy, he had withstood an attack from a Daluo Powerhouse from afar, and under the crushing force of a nearby Domain, Linglong Tower easily protected Lin Chen.

The extraordinary nature of Linglong Tower meant that even though Bai Yunfei had intervened to help, deep down Lin Chen still had reservations about him.

Even if Bai Yunfei hadn’t lifted a finger, Lin Chen had his ways to escape the predicament, so this was only help, not really a life-saving grace. Their acquaintance was incidental, so it was natural for Lin Chen to be reserved.

If one had no secret plans and treated strangers with complete sincerity, they wouldn’t know how they died even when death came.

Though Lin Chen’s strength paled in comparison to Bai Yunfei’s, with Linglong Tower, he also held no fear.

Linglong Tower was inherently mighty, let alone the Fifth Great Perfection Dark Ancestral Dragon residing within it.

If Bai Yunfei had any wicked intentions, Lin Chen might not be able to contend with him, but he certainly possessed the power to protect himself.

With their business concluded, the three set off towards Qingyuan City.

Qingyuan City was located amidst the mountain ranges but was not built upon any majestic mountain peak. Rather it used Heaven and Earth as a canopy, and the mountains as walls. Through the cultivators’ methods to steal the essence of Heaven and Earth, they had directly refined the continuous mountain ranges into grand and towering city walls, encompassing thousands of mountains and rivers within, and upon these natural foundations, countless buildings were constructed.

Qingyuan City was a city, but it was more than just a city.

With no less than 100,000 disciples residing as the city’s inhabitants within the besieged city of mountains, Qingyuan City thrived.

Coming to Qingyuan City alone, Lin Chen presented the token given by Chu Chuan, the disciple he had saved from Qingyuan City, at the entrance.

"Independent Cultivator Lin Chen, here to visit a friend, please pass on my arrival," he stated.

The disciple guarding the city glanced at the token in Lin Chen’s hand and said with a smile, "Friend Lin, whom are you looking to meet?"

Lin Chen replied, "Outer Sect, Pill Concocting Room, Chu Chuan."

"One moment, please!"

After the guard sent a message, it wasn’t long before Chu Chuan appeared at the entrance. Seeing Lin Chen, a delighted smile spread across his face.

"Friend Chu, it’s been a long time. How have you been?"

Once Chu Chuan had completed the registry with the entrance disciple, he led Lin Chen into the city, and eventually, to his Cave Mansion.

Chu Chuan, a disciple from the Outer Sect’s Pill Concocting Room, didn’t hold a very high status in Qingyuan City, but neither was it low—he was the manager of one peak within the Pill Concocting Room, in charge of many affairs for that peak, making him a kind of junior senior management within the Outer Sect.

As Chu Chuan returned to his mountain peak, they encountered many disciples who all showed him respect and saluted.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Friend Chu seems to be faring quite well in Qingyuan City."

Chu Chuan modestly replied, "You flatter me, Friend Lin. I’m just a small manager handling all sorts of miscellaneous duties. I haven’t even entered the Inner Sect. I’m far from what you call ’doing well.’

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "This is no ordinary power, but an Immortal Sect. Those who can stand out in an Immortal Sect can all be considered successful. With ten thousand sect disciples, how many can manage to be a manager?"

While chatting, the two entered Chu Chuan’s residence. He promptly activated the Array Formation, isolating from the outside world.

Chu Chuan bowed and said, "Benefactor, I have awaited your arrival for a long time, and you have finally come."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Why were you waiting for me? My coming is trouble for you. If I hadn’t come, that would have been a good thing."

Chu Chuan shook his head, "If I, a grown man, die, so be it. But my younger sister, so young, falling into the hands of those people from the Bloody Hand Group—just thinking about what terrible fate she might suffer makes one shudder."

"Having received a favor as valuable as water, one should return it with a spring. I have been looking forward to your visit, Benefactor, to repay you in some way."

Lin Chen extended his hand to lift Chu Chuan, who was bowing, "Friend Chu, there’s no need for such formality. I came here to inquire about some information. If you can help, then help. If it’s inconvenient, then just say so. Don’t put yourself in danger trying to assist me."

"In fact, the fact that you revealed Qingyuan City’s access to the Secret Realm with the Yin-Yang Spring is more than enough information for me. I can naturally figure out a way to find its location, so there’s no need to involve you."

"I’m speaking sincerely, and I’ve come here not to demand a repayment of kindness. Don’t feel pressured. You can consider me just a friend visiting."

Chu Chuan nodded, his expression slightly excited, "It’s no trouble, Benefactor. The situation has changed again since last time..."
