Chapter 543 Female disciples vie for guidance
Chapter 543 Female disciples vie for guidance
The news caused an uproar throughout the entire Kunlun Domain.
When the disciples heard that Lin Chen had arrived, they all ran out of the training ground, the scripture pavilion, and the cave, crowding the mountain path and craning their necks to look at the mountain peak.
"Is that Young Master Lin?"
"Was it him who sealed the extraterrestrial passage?"
"So young."
"I heard that he's already the number one person in the world at only twenty years old."
"Not only that, I heard he single-handedly wiped out the Yin-Yang Union Sect in the Southern Wilderness."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Lu Bu was sent by him. With one strike of his halberd, the entire valley was gone, and the mountains were leveled."
"Holy crap..."
Discussions rose and fell, some people worshipped him, their eyes shining like flashlights.
Some people were in awe, and their voices trembled as they spoke.
Some people were curious and tiptoed forward to try and get a good look at what Lin Chen looked like.
Lin Chen stood atop the mountain, hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the sunlight, which gilded his body.
This look, this aura, this class—perfect.
Just then, several female disciples stepped out from the crowd. They were all inner disciples, with outstanding looks and remarkable demeanor.
They walked to the edge of the mountaintop platform, stopped, and bowed to Lin Chen in unison.
"Young Master Lin, we have long admired you and would like to ask for your guidance."
That's what they said, but those eyes, that look, clearly meant more than just "giving pointers".
Some people blushed, like ripe apples.
Someone lowered their head and drew circles on the ground with their toes.
Someone was secretly observing Lin Chen, their eyes sparkling.
Someone was biting their lip until it turned white.
Lin Chen glanced at them, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He knew what they meant; he'd seen this kind of scene many times before.
Various powerful forces showered him with women until his hands were sore, and the girls of Hehuan Valley were always around him. Even the Flame Empress took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
This level of "self-offering as a bedmate" is already commonplace for him.
But Kunlun Domain is not Hehuan Valley, and Jiang Xuan is still standing next to him, so he can't be too disrespectful.
Moreover, these young ladies are all around the Celestial Realm in cultivation, and they have good talent. With proper nurturing, they could become quite remarkable in the future.
We can't hold him back; he's destined to be just a passerby.
Lin Chen smiled, his tone gentle but distant.
"As for cultivation, just ask your master. My methods are unorthodox, and you can't learn them."
The female disciples were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned even redder, as red as monkey bottoms. They bowed, turned around, and withdrew.
Jiang Xuan watched this scene from the side, his lips twitched, and he coughed:
"Young Master Lin, the formation master has arrived."
Lin Chen nodded and turned to walk towards the array masters who had been summoned.
The array masters were all trembling with fear, their hands shaking. Some couldn't even hold the array plates steady, and they clattered and rattled.
Without wasting words, Lin Chen walked to the stone pillar at the mountain gate, raised his hand and pressed it on the pillar, pouring in spiritual power. The array patterns lit up, and golden light moved across the stone pillar.
He closed his eyes and sensed for a while, then opened them and pointed to one of the runes.
"Here, the spiritual energy will pause briefly when it reaches this point. Let's change the direction of this rune to an arc."
The formation master quickly wrote it down, scribbling on the paper with his brush.
Lin Chen flashed to the front of the Scripture Pavilion, squatted down, touched the base, and stood up.
"The base was shifted three inches. Move it back to the southeast direction. Several of the array patterns below were worn. Recarve them using the standard array pattern format."
The formation master wrote them down one by one.
Lin Chen then flashed to the secluded valley, stood at the entrance, and closed his eyes to sense for a while.
"The blockages in the spiritual energy channels are here, here, and here," Lin Chen pointed to three locations.
"Have someone clear the blockage, remove the stagnant spiritual ore, and re-lay the spiritual energy pipelines."
The array master memorized so many characters that his hands were sore, and he went through several brushes.
Jiang Xuan stood to the side watching Lin Chen pontificate, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Lin Chen arrived less than an hour ago and immediately identified the weaknesses in their Kunlun Domain's formations, even providing a solution.
Just how many skills does this person still possess? Is it possible that those destined for greatness are so unreasonable?
Standing next to Jiang Xuan, Xiao Yi asked in a low voice, "Domain Lord, what level has Young Master Lin's cultivation reached?"
Jiang Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know either."
Xiao Yi opened his mouth, then closed it again.
After instructing the array master, Lin Chen clapped his hands and returned to the edge of the mountaintop platform, looking down at the sea of clouds below.
Jiang Xuan walked to his side, and the two stood side by side, their robes overlapping in the wind.
"Lord Jiang."
"Please speak, sir."
"Kunlun Domain has a good foundation, and its disciples are also good, but you are too conservative."
Lin Chen's tone was casual, as if he were chatting about everyday things, but his words were not casual.
"How many people did the Avengers send to destroy the ancient seal? How many did the Guardians of the Galaxy send?"
"Three celestial immortals, twelve land immortals, you have more than a dozen celestial immortals and hundreds of land immortals, yet you only send this few people? Are you just going through the motions?"
Jiang Xuan's expression changed, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
But Lin Chen didn't give him a chance and continued:
"I'm not criticizing you; I'm telling you that this great calamity isn't just a matter for one family, it's a matter for the whole world."
If Kunlun Domain wants to survive the great calamity, it must show sincerity. Hiding its true intentions will only lead to its own downfall.
Lin Chen turned to look at Jiang Xuan, his gaze not heavy, but Jiang Xuan felt as if he were being crushed by a mountain.
"The sincerity you show will determine the sincerity others show in return."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he patted Jiang Xuan on the shoulder, turned around and left.
Jiang Xuan stood there, watching Lin Chen's back, and remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Yi walked over and stood next to him, and neither of them spoke.
The mountain wind blew by, making their robes flutter and their hair dance in the wind.
After a long while, Jiang Xuan finally spoke.
"Pass down the order: the Avengers' Kunlun Domain quota will be increased to ten Celestials, and the Guardians of the Galaxy's quota will be increased to thirty Earthly Gods."
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment: "Domain Lord, ten Celestial Immortals—"
Jiang Xuan raised her hand to interrupt him: "Do as I say."
Xiao Yi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes."
Lin Chen stayed in Kunlun Domain for three days.
Jiang Xuan hosted a banquet, with delicacies from land and sea, and fine wines filling the table.
Lin Chen's fondness for song and dance performances was also arranged, and there were even people in the guest rooms who would bathe and clean themselves before serving him in bed.
However, it's all voluntary, and I heard the competition is quite fierce.
At this point, it would be hypocritical for Lin Chen to continue pretending.
Lin Chen was very satisfied with the food, the drinks, and the accommodations.
Three days later, Lin Chen took his leave.
Jiang Xuan escorted him to the mountain gate, with Xiao Yi and several elders following behind. Hundreds of disciples stood on both sides, arranged in two rows, just as they had come.
Lin Chen glanced at Jiang Xuan, nodded, raised his hand to tear through the void, and stepped inside.
The crack closed behind him, like a shut door.
Jiang Xuan stood at the mountain gate, staring at the closing crack, for a long time.
Xiao Yi walked over and asked in a low voice, "Domain Lord, what about those female disciples—"
Jiang Xuan shook his head, said nothing, turned and walked back to the mountain gate. His white robe fluttered in the morning breeze, and his figure looked somewhat desolate.
Xiao Yi looked at the Domain Lord's back, hesitated, and ultimately said nothing.
However, he secretly hoped that Lin Chen could stay a few more days.
Because those female disciples had all broken through at least one realm in their cultivation.
The Kunlun Domain suddenly gained several terrestrial immortals, and one of them was even close to breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
With this kind of improvement, saving face becomes less important.
