Chapter 927: Chapter 947: Underground Palace Array? Something’s Not Right_1

"You are at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection level. Although you are not considered an expert in the Cultivation World, you are already very powerful compared to ordinary people. Isn’t that enough for a decent life?"

Zhang Lin bitterly explained with a smile: "My mother was born with a weak constitution. When she gave birth to me, there was an accident. Although her life was saved, she was left with a lingering illness. She needs to regularly consume Jade Marrow Liquid, otherwise her body will rapidly deteriorate until she dies."

"Getting enough Jade Marrow Liquid isn’t easy for me, though it’s not a top-tier treasure. My potential is limited, so I value this opportunity to learn the art of alchemy. If I can become an alchemist, even helping others refine pills for a fee would be enough for me to buy enough Jade Marrow Liquid."

After listening to him, Lin Chen encouraged: "As long as you step into the Golden Core Realm, earning Spirit Stones to buy Jade Marrow Liquid won’t be a problem. Keep it up."

Zhang Lin gratefully said: "Thank you for your encouragement, Brother Lin. I will do my best."

Lin Chen asked: "We will be here for the next ten years and cannot leave. Does your mother have enough Jade Marrow Liquid?"

Zhang Lin smirked: "Before I came here, I guessed that once I joined the sect, I wouldn’t be able to go back for a while. So I used all my saved Spirit Stones to buy enough Jade Marrow Liquid for my mother to use for ten years. After ten years, when I can leave, I will certainly have saved more Spirit Stones or Jade Marrow Liquid by then."

Lin Chen looked at Zhang Lin, who was full of anticipation, and felt a subtle feeling in his heart.

The blood light he saw earlier made Lin Chen increasingly suspect that the Three Ghosts Gate was involved in the Kong Yuan City Blood Case. Their large-scale recruitment of capable disciples at this subtle moment raised even more suspicion.

He hopes it won’t be as he suspected; otherwise, Zhang Lin’s expectations might be in vain, and whether he can even return alive is another matter.

The middle-aged man, Tian Yue, appeared again with a thick roster: "Now that the recruitment of disciples is complete, congratulations on successfully joining the Three Ghosts Gate and becoming a member."

"Starting now, I will divide you into five groups, each consisting of two hundred people. Our sect’s elders will take turns teaching each group alchemy and cultivation techniques, as well as helping everyone solve problems encountered during cultivation and alchemy studies."

"Now let me divide the groups. I will call out room numbers, and those in the room will belong to that group."

The grouping was completed quickly. Lin Chen was assigned to Group Two. He purposely noticed that Zhang Lin was also in Group Two, probably because Zhang Lin had deliberately chosen a room close to Lin Chen, so they were grouped together.

"Tomorrow morning, the first group will have their lesson, teaching the Mental Tranquility Technique of the Three Ghosts Gate."

"Tomorrow afternoon, the second group will have their lesson, followed by the third group the day after, and the fourth group, in rotation."

"After teaching the Mental Tranquility Technique, the elder will take you to the Underground Palace to practice in the Array Formation, helping you quickly understand the Mental Tranquility Technique."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone responded in unison: "Understood!"

Standing in the crowd, Lin Chen’s brows were slightly furrowed.

Enter the Underground Palace and practice in the Array Formation?

Under the Main Hall?

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the blood light that soared into the sky again, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

The next morning, Tian Yue appeared again, leading the two hundred people of the first group majestically towards the Main Hall.

"What kind of technique is the Mental Tranquility Technique? I wonder if it’s powerful or not?"

"Most likely, it’s a supplementary technique that helps to calm the mind and keep it free from distractions. Cultivation progresses poorly when our thoughts are unruly. If we cannot keep our minds calm, it is easy to develop demons in the later stages and encounter big problems."

"I am a bit excited."

"No worries, it will soon be our turn."

As Lin Chen watched the departing team, his brow furrowed.

Zhang Lin looked at Lin Chen’s expression and asked softly, "Brother Lin, you don’t seem very happy?"

Lin Chen turned his head and smiled, "No, I was just thinking about something."

Zhang Lin looked forward with anticipation, "I wonder when we can start learning about alchemy."

Lin Chen smiled but did not reply.

Two hundred people from the first group entered the Main Hall, and then there was no sound. It wasn’t until noon when Tian Yue reappeared, and the two hundred people disappeared.

"Group Two, follow me."

Lin Chen followed behind Tian Yue, calmly arriving at the Main Hall.

He knew that perhaps it was time to reveal the truth.

In the spacious Main Hall, an old man with white hair and beard sat on the high platform. He looked like a man of great cultivation, exuding an impressive aura.

"I am Elder Ge Lin, an elder in charge of transferring techniques. I will now teach you the Mental Tranquility Technique. Mastering this technique will ensure a clear and untroubled mind in both cultivation and alchemy, reducing the likelihood of demonic possession. In the case of alchemy, it can increase the pill success rate."

Ge Lin briefly described the benefits of the Mental Tranquility Technique and began to transfer the technique to them.

Lin Chen listened carefully and tried the technique slightly, realizing that although it wasn’t particularly impressive, it was indeed a genuine technique with no tricks involved.

"Have you all remembered it?"

The Mental Tranquility Technique was not very long. All the people nodded to show that they had memorized it.

Ge Lin stood up: "Since you have all memorized it, follow me to the Underground Palace and practice in the Spirit Array Formation to master it as soon as possible!"
