Chapter 502: Chapter 522: A Kind Reward_1

"Kunlun Mountain?"

Li Fang’s voice had a noticeable hesitation: "You mean the... Unknown Area of Kunlun Mountain?"

As Lin Chen inserted another needle, he laughed, "Yes, you once took Zhou Yin to Yaochi for cultivation, leading her to break through the realm there. I reckon your and Zhou Yin’s cultivation techniques are far from ordinary. If I’m not mistaken, this technique should be related to the Unknown Area of Kunlun Mountain, right?"

There is a difference between cultivation methods in the human world and Cave Sky Blessed Land’s. Li Fang purposefully took Zhou Yin to Yaochi to break through, and Zhou Yin managed to succeed in just ten days, taking the most critical step for a Cultivator. This was evidently related to the rich spiritual Qi in Yaochi.

In other words, Zhou Yin might not be too aware of her cultivation method, but Li Fang was clear about it. Lin Chen had practiced Haoran Jue, so he had a genuinely accurate understanding of the differences between the two techniques.

Li Fang, astonished, looked back at Lin Chen with a complex expression and a bit more wariness in his eyes.

Lin Chen steady inserted another needle, "Director Li doesn’t need to be so wary. My trip to Kunlun Mountain is not only to find Yaochi’s location but also to learn more about the Unknown Land of Kunlun Mountain, because my father is from the Unknown Area of Kunlun Mountain."

Li Fang’s eyes suddenly widened, "You’re from the Unknown Land?"

Lin Chen shook his head, briefly recounting his parents’ situation, and Li Fang’s eyes filled with sympathy.

As the dean of the orphanage, he dealt with orphans the most. Lin Chen was already twenty-seven and had never met his parents. Although he had grown up healthy and accomplished, it was still a regret.

Li Fang let down his guard and lay down on the bed again, pondering, "What I’m cultivating could be the cultivation method of the Unknown Land..."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "Can you sense the spiritual Qi?"

Li Fang nodded, "Yes, I can sense it, but it’s very thin. I’ve discussed this with others, but they all said they couldn’t feel it. So, I became cautious and eventually realized that my cultivation technique was entirely different from other Cultivators. Since then, I’ve kept this secret deep in my heart..."

Cultivation Method!

Lin Chen curiously asked, "So, you discovered Yaochi, the place rich in spiritual Qi?"

Li Fang replied, "I found that different places have varying concentrations of spiritual Qi. I searched everywhere for areas abundant in spiritual Qi. I discovered that as you go deeper into Kunlun, the spiritual Qi becomes denser. That’s when I found Yaochi, as you mentioned. Cultivating there significantly improved my strength, but the environment was too harsh for humans to survive."

"Talent is the most crucial factor for breaking the realm. It limits the heights I can achieve. I’ve visited Yaochi several times, hoping to break through, but I’ve always returned empty-handed. Finally, I just accepted my fate."

Lin Chen asked, "Who taught you your cultivation technique?"

Li Fang recalled, "I used to be a poor kid with no background, helping tourists and adventurers carry their things to Kunlun Mountain. Once, I met an old man in a sheepskin jacket. He was all alone in the snow and injured. I saved him and took care of his injuries. He taught me the cultivation method orally. Eventually, he left without saying goodbye."

"Later, I carefully thought that the old man must not have been an ordinary person. The place where I found him was remote and rarely visited. He had been there for God knows how long but didn’t freeze to death, and his recovery was swift. I figured he might be an expert from the Unknown Area of Kunlun Mountain."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s the reward you got for being kind-hearted."

Li Fang sighed, "The spiritual Qi in the world is thin, making cultivation difficult. I’m limited by my talent, and I started cultivating too late, missing the best time. It’s hard to cross the realm, and this life is probably it. Zhou Yin, a sensible child, is loved and cherished by everyone. I had no other way to help her, so I taught her the technique, hoping she could have some self-protection power in this world. I didn’t expect her to go down the wrong path to make money."

"I need to go to Yaochi and have Zhou Yin guide me."

Lin Chen removed the needles and picked up the pen to write a prescription.

"Take this prescription, and after three months of taking the medicine, you will be fully recovered."

Li Fang felt the relaxation he hadn’t experienced for a long time, inexplicably delighted, "Thank you so much, Mr. Lin."

Lin Chen smiled, "It’s a no-brainer, don’t mention it."

Lin Chen stayed at the orphanage for lunch. When he was about to leave, Zhou Yin was called by Li Fang to have a private talk. She was probably scolded and came out with red eyes.

Lin Chen didn’t intervene. He might let Zhou Yin off this time, but that doesn’t mean others would. If she continued, something would inevitably go wrong sooner or later.

After leaving the orphanage, Zhou Yin handed Lin Chen a small booklet.

"This is what my Master gave you. First, as gratitude for healing his illness, and second, to apologize for the things I did."

Lin Chen took it and flipped through it, his expression slightly surprised.

Li Fang acquired the Cultivation Method from the old man in the sheepskin jacket?
