Chapter 52 Shen Linyuan
The camp is covered by a formation.
There is its own identification system for entry and exit.
After entering the camp, Li Qingshan could clearly feel the tense atmosphere following the turmoil.
Everyone came and went in a hurry, their faces showing a mix of confusion and urgency.
The number of people in the camp did seem quite high.
However, many of the disciples who came and went unconsciously exuded the air of barbarian nobles in their every move.
Needless to say.
These people were originally from the Guixu family, who lived in various kingdoms.
Now that the front-line camps have been wiped out, resulting in heavy casualties, the sect has finally been able to recall all of its accumulated resources.
After a brief look around, Li Qingshan, carrying his identity jade token, arrived at the mission location.
This area is particularly busy.
Long queues formed in front of the three sealed-off cubicles where missions were accepted.
Li Qingshan randomly joined a queue.
...
The gatekeeper on duty was very slow.
This row lasted for half an hour.
The person in front of me finally left the cubicle.
Li Qingshan hurriedly went into the cubicle and took out his identity jade token: "I accepted a mission before, but something unexpected happened..."
The servant glanced at Li Qingshan, then took out a gold-plated compass and placed it under the jade tablet.
next moment.
His expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Your previous mission was to go to the front-line camp?"
Li Qingshan nodded and used the same excuse he had given to Xi Tianhong's father.
The servant looked at Li Qingshan, stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I need to report this matter to Elder Linyuan."
After saying that, he got up and left the cubicle.
Li Qingshan was not kept waiting for long.
After a while, the other party returned and said, "The elder wants you to go to the backyard."
Li Qingshan nodded, put away the jade token, left the cubicle, and walked into the backyard of the mission base.
...
The backyard is not big.
Apart from a clump of yellow, unidentified bamboo, there was only a stone chair.
A handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes was sitting on a stone bench, holding a book and reading it carefully.
Li Qingshan realized that this handsome young man, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, was the one who wanted to see his Elder Lin Yuan.
He didn't say anything and stood quietly at the door.
The other party must have known he was coming.
I ignored him.
He just needs to stand still.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The young man finally put away the book in his hands.
His gaze was gentle as he looked Li Qingshan up and down, then chuckled, "You're quite an interesting kid. You're so young, yet you live like a tortoise. At first glance, you seem ordinary, but your inner qualities are so natural that even I can't see through you. Isn't that just burying your head in the sand?"
Li Qingshan: ...
We didn't really have a choice.
As soon as he released his breath, the true energy within his body surged like a vast ocean, drawing upon the water elemental energy around him to embrace him—it was truly terrifying.
In contrast.
He could only choose to conceal his presence and deceive himself.
Li Qingshan could only say in a low voice, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Elder."
Shen Linyuan did not pursue the matter too much.
He smiled and continued:
"Although the secret technique of concealing one's breath is rare, it is not a precious thing for us."
Everyone has secrets.
I'm not a very curious person.
I'm too lazy to delve into the truth or falsehood in your mission statement.
So you don't need to be reserved.
Seeing how easygoing the other party was, Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
Not right.
This is a very simple principle:
When someone who seems unapproachable and unapproachable suddenly starts showing you kindness and gentleness, there's only one reason.
That means the other party wants to use you, or even make you work for them.
There is absolutely no other possibility!
Li Qingshan didn't expect that after Elder Xichi's troubles were over, Elder Linyuan would suddenly appear and target him.
What's this bastard up to?
...
Seeing that Li Qingshan was listening attentively, Shen Linyuan continued:
"The sect leader is currently trapped in the Etheric Domain."
The inside of the door was a bit messy.
"Young man, I see you have potential. Would you like to work under me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
He asked directly, "Elder, is there something you need me to do?"
Shen Linyuan did not expect Li Qingshan to react so quickly.
He nodded: "I do have something for you to do. It's dangerous, but the rewards will be great if you succeed!"
As he spoke, he stood up, his back to Li Qingshan, and said calmly:
"The realm of martial arts is more difficult than the realm of martial arts."
I just accessed your information.
You were born into poverty and had no one to support you.
Although he possesses martial bones, they are self-healing martial bones that do not significantly enhance combat power.
His only support, Wang Xiao, a disciple at the Qi Sea Realm, also died a year ago due to a curse.
The spirit that was left for you was stolen by the west family.
It can be said.
Your future is so predictable, you can see it all at a glance.
I like smart people.
We are also willing to give you a chance to defy fate.
If you help me go to a secret realm, I need to obtain one item.
"I can not only give you a drop of the Water of Life, allowing you to directly break through to the Qi Sea Realm, but I can also lend you a rare artifact to help you comprehend the power of martial arts."
After listening to what the other person had to say.
Li Qingshan gave up.
This bastard really wants to take my life.
After all, once one comprehends the Qi Sea Realm, one can break through to the Meridian Opening Realm and become an elder on the same level as the other party.
You, an elder, made such a promise to a disciple.
It sounds ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
Besides, even if what the other party said was true, it would be meaningless to him, who had already reached the Qi Sea Realm and comprehended the power of momentum.
Li Qingshan could only reply perfunctorily, "I am grateful that the elder is willing to give me this opportunity, but my strength is too low. Losing my life is a small matter, but if I delay the elder's affairs, then..."
Shen Linyuan waved his hand, stopping Li Qingshan from saying anything more.
He said with a hint of disappointment, "I understand what you mean. You can leave now."
Li Qingshan didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to.
He bowed and left in a hurry.
...
After everyone left.
The shadow beneath Shen Linyuan's feet swayed, emitting a sharp, mocking laugh: "What, have you developed a fondness for talent?"
Shen Linyuan nodded:
"I was just curious about how he survived from the front-line camp, which is why I asked him to come and question him."
Unexpectedly, he had mastered the art of concealing one's breath, and had even mastered it to a very high level.
This requires a high level of comprehension.
So I just looked up his information.
Their qualifications are indeed quite good.
Comprehension level B.
With such comprehension, coupled with the aid of the wondrous artifact I possess, grasping the essence of martial arts will not be difficult.
Upon hearing this, Shadow asked curiously, "Then why did you let him leave?"
Shen Linyuan shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky:
"Understanding is just understanding."
While talent is important, a tenacious and resilient spirit, a willingness to face death to survive, is even more crucial.
Born as duckweed and drifting catkins.
To achieve something great is always a matter of life and death.
He can't even understand this much. Even if he reaches the Meridian Opening Realm under my guidance, he'll still be a hopeless case.
Shadow tentatively said, "Yi Shang's comprehension is a pity. If you ask me, it would be better to give him some experience. He might become your right-hand man in the future."
Shen Linyuan shook his head again:
"You're being superficial again."
The heart of a strong person seems to be a matter of mentality.
In reality, this is a cognitive problem caused by experience.
Only by experiencing the despair of helplessness can one cultivate the seeds of resilience, realize the rarity of opportunities, and be willing to risk one's life for every chance.
Changing a person's perception is a very difficult thing.
This is tantamount to negating everything that person has done before.
Human nature is unpredictable.
What you perceive as right or wrong, or as gratitude, may be seen as enmity or coercion by the other party.
Do you understand?
The shadow seemed to understand something, then said in a sharp voice, "I understand, you're forcing me."
Shen Linyuan: ...
He sat back down on the stone chair without a word, took out his book again, and began to read it with peace of mind.
There are many people at the bottom who want to improve within the school.
Li Qingshan doesn't want to improve, but there are plenty of people who do.
Besides, although that kid is highly intelligent, he has no background.
High comprehension is a manifestation of talent in the Ruins of Return.
In the bitter realm of conquest, oh.
...
Seeing that Shen Linyuan was no longer paying attention to it, the shadow could only try to appease him, saying, "Linyuan, since you don't like that disciple, why not give him to me? He has high comprehension, but he doesn't have any secret techniques to guide him. Maybe one day he'll..."
"Be careful what you say!"
Shen Linyuan's face turned cold, radiating an imposing aura: "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. As for possession, don't even think about it!"
He touched the ground with his toes.
The shadow twitched twice and then fell completely still.
Having suppressed the Nightmare Beast, Shen Linyuan lost interest in reading.
He looked up at the azure sky and gave a cold laugh.
That beast Wang Qitian, after enjoying himself for three hundred years, has finally fallen!
He went to the Ether Realm himself to see it.
That barbarian Morning Star corpse, at the cost of burning itself, forcibly descended alien starlight, sealing off and polluting that part of the sky.
In a short period of time.
Wang Qitian can forget about getting out.
He now has plenty of time to plan!
He endured for many years.
It's Shen Linyuan's turn to take over!
