Chapter 479: Chapter 499: Lowering My Quality of Life? _1

Spiritual energy!

Lin Chen closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged, but his heart was filled with immense joy.

He had actually spent only one day to sense the existence of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was like strands and wisps floating in the air, extremely thin.

Discover - Absorb - Transform, this is the essence of cultivation.

Lin Chen absorbed spiritual energy for half a day, only to find out a frustrating reality - the spiritual energy was too thin!

The human body is like a fan. During cultivation, the fan is activated, allowing one to absorb the spiritual energy within a certain range. The stronger one’s strength, the larger the range that can be absorbed. With Lin Chen’s current strength, he can basically absorb the spiritual energy within a radius of about three meters, but the amount of spiritual energy in this area was too low!

If the overall concentration of spiritual energy was high, then the cultivator would draw in the spiritual energy from the surrounding area, and the spiritual energy from other places would naturally flow into this area. But now, with the spiritual energy so thin, once the strands of spiritual energy around Lin Chen were absorbed, there wasn’t much difference in concentration with the surroundings, and it would take a very long time to replenish this area’s balance.

With this environment, why bother cultivating?

It’s completely useless!

Lin Chen suddenly understood why there were no experts like Liu Sansheng in the human world. With this level of spiritual energy, even if one possessed immortal techniques, it would be useless unless one found a place rich in spiritual energy. Where in the world would there be such places like the Unknown Land with abundant spiritual energy?

No wonder many sects and aristocratic families are searching frantically for ways to enter Cave Sky Blessed Lands. Only by entering a Cave Sky Blessed Land, with abundant spiritual energy and a cultivation technique, can one achieve longevity as a natural outcome.

"Shall we go watch a movie tonight?"

"Sure!"

With cultivation being ineffective, Lin Chen didn’t bother to argue and simply agreed, then asked, "Aunt, are you coming too?"

Feng Yazhen smiled and said, "I’m not going to play the third wheel."

Lin Chen asked, "Then what are your plans?"

Feng Yazhen smiled and said, "I’m going on a blind date."

Lin Chen widened his eyes, "Blind date? I can’t believe it, Aunt. You get stopped on the street all the time for your contact information, do you really need a blind date?"

Feng Yazhen snorted, "A relative introduced it, so it’s hard to refuse. Besides, who told me to be in my thirties, without a job or a boyfriend?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "A Feng Family relative?"

Feng Yazhen nodded, "Yes, an uncle introduced it, it’s hard to refuse without losing face. Anyway, it’s just a dinner, no big deal."

Lin Chen joked, "Maybe you’ll hit it off?"

Feng Yazhen pouted, "If he was really good, he wouldn’t need a blind date."

Lin Chen laughed, "Alright, then we won’t bother with you."

"Great!"

Since they were going to watch a movie, Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi decided to have dinner at the food court in the shopping mall.

"You sit down, save our seats. I’ll get the food."

"Okay!"

As Lin Chen lined up and brought a big plate of snacks back to the table, he discovered that there were two young men in their twenties seated at their table.

When Gu Yuexi saw Lin Chen coming back, her slender fingers pointed gently, and she giggled, "Nuò, my boyfriend is back. I didn’t lie to you!"

Lin Chen frowned; a pretty face always attracted flies wherever it went.

Lin Chen put the tray in front of Gu Yuexi, looked at the two young men, and said indifferently, "Do you two have hearing problems? Didn’t you hear she’s already taken?"

The two young men looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

The man in the black trench coat smiled and said, "She’s just dating you, not married to you. And even if she’s married to you, can’t she still get a divorce?"

Lin Chen was amused by the man in the trench coat’s words. This man had quite thick skin; most people would have left by this point, right?

"So, from what you’re saying, you have your sights set on my girlfriend?"

The man in the trench coat ignored Lin Chen, turned to look at Gu Yuexi, and smiled faintly, "Beauty, we noticed you while passing by. With your beauty, you deserve a better life. You should frequent high-end hotels, drive luxury cars, wear designer clothes, and carry designer handbags, not eat unhygienic and awful street food like this..."

Gu Yuexi blinked, "But I like street food."

The man in the trench coat’s face stiffened for a moment, and he decided to cut the chase, "I won’t waste time, your beauty deserves better. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I will immediately transfer $200,000 cash to you, and then buy you a $1 million car as a token of my sincerity..."

Gu Yuexi blinked, looked up at Lin Chen, and said, "Brother, is he trying to lower my current quality of life?"

The man in the trench coat blinked, slightly confused, "Lower your quality of life?"

Gu Yuexi nodded, looking serious, "Yes, the car my boyfriend bought for me is a Ferrari F8, which costs over three million. If I become your girlfriend, you’d buy me a million-dollar car, wouldn’t that lower my quality of life?"

The man in the trench coat was stunned and glanced at Lin Chen, "Him?"

Lin Chen didn’t say anything, simply reached into his pocket, pulled out his car key, and placed it on the table, "Yes, me!"
