I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 30: Descending the Mountain

"Is this guy intentionally pretending to be foolish, or has he been brainwashed?" Lin Chen stood at the door, watching the figure of the other person leaving, his eyes deep.

He originally thought that the other person was just acting like him, but after observing carefully, he realized that the other person was serious.

Could it be that there really are people who are selfless and don't want any benefits?

"No, that's not right. If the other person really is selfless and doesn't want any benefits, how did they reach this point without sufficient resources? And from my intelligence, I know that he is the son of the head of the Lin family... Oh, I see now."

Seemingly understanding something, a cold smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

The reason why the other person spoke so nicely was not because he really had that kind of selfless spirit, but because he was a beneficiary, enjoying the dedication of others, which allowed him to speak so naturally and righteously!

And the reason for showing this attitude was simply to deceive people into working for them for free!

"I originally just wanted to coexist peacefully and part ways amicably. But you guys thought I was young and easy to bully, and schemed against me. Do you really think I have no temper?"

Lin Chen sat in a chair, pondering for a long time, and finally a cold smile appeared on his face.

If everything went according to normal, the other party should give him benefits, and then he would be invited to participate in the Jiangcheng Grand Competition to help the Lin family deal with the other two major families. Only after going through life and death would he have a chance to gain benefits.

"Oh, during this period, I might have to face the harassment, misunderstanding, and backstabbing of my fellow clan members, or they might have ill intentions and create conflicts, and in the end, they will bind me with family affection and righteousness..."

One conspiracy after another surfaced in Lin Chen's mind.

This is not because Lin Chen is dark-hearted, but because of his experiences in the Lin family.

You should know that his original parents sacrificed for the family, but their child not only did not receive the care of the family, but also had to fight with fellow clan members for the inheritance.

Forcing him out of the clan, ignoring him for ten years, and now that they see him succeed, they want to kidnap him with family affection and righteousness, making him fight and risk his life for them.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a kind and righteous clan!

Lin Chen even suspected that if it weren't for the fact that the people from Azure Cloud Sect had some relationship with his parents, he might not only have been unable to obtain cultivation resources through land exchange, but might have died unexpectedly from illness!

Therefore, Lin Chen has no intention of fighting desperately for them!

"But if the other party keeps coming to my door like a fly, it will be troublesome. And the Lin family still has some background..."

Lin Chen tapped the table with his hand, constantly recalling the conversation just now, searching for useful information.

"Just now, Lin Tianhao seemed to have mentioned that the Lin family's combat power has been severely damaged..." It seemed like he thought of a key point, and Lin Chen's eyes gradually lit up.

"Steal... no, take." A thought flashed in Lin Chen's mind.

He had already tested it just now, this guy had never experienced life and death battles. If he wanted to, he could easily kill him in a matter of seconds.

And Lin Tianming was the leader of this generation of the Lin family. Even he couldn't resist himself, who was at the [True Qi Realm]. So what if he reached the [Qi Cyclone Realm]? Who else could stop him besides that Foundation Building Stage cultivator?

And that Foundation Building Stage cultivator didn't have much lifespan left. He was probably hiding in a secret room, barely surviving. As long as he avoided him, wouldn't that be enough?

As for whether this was unethical? Are you kidding me! The Lin family not only didn't show him any gratitude, but also had old grudges against him. He was just taking something without pushing him into a well. If this was in the Immortal Cultivation World, he could already be considered a moral role model, a true immortal!

After the resources for cultivation were taken away, what would happen to the Lin family is no longer Lin Chen's concern.

"It seems necessary to go back..."

"But before that, I need to further improve my strength..." Lin Chen pondered.

With this thought in mind, Lin Chen looked at the intelligence on the table.

In about three days, it would be the auction day for the hundred-year jadeite, so he needed to prepare well.

...

The next day, Lin Chen directly took the Pugongcao and left Azure Cloud Sect, using the Divine Movement Technique to travel.

Because he was worried about ambushes or unexpected situations, Lin Chen did not rush at full speed, but stopped along the way.

Finally, after a day and night of rushing, Lin Chen finally arrived at Jiatai Fangshi in the twilight.

After a day of rest and preparation, Lin Chen followed the address given by Xu Mengyun and came to a grocery store on the west side of Jiatai Fangshi.

The grocery store didn't look big, and the storefront was a bit old. There were very few people coming and going, mostly mysterious individuals.

After observing for a while, Lin Chen found that many people who went in did not come out, confirming that it was the entrance to the auction inside.

So without hesitation, he walked in.

After entering the grocery store, Lin Chen looked around for a while and saw a middle-aged cultivator sitting behind the counter.

The cultivator had a strong build and a powerful aura, reaching the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Lin Chen's eyes flickered. Even the gatekeeper had the cultivation of Qi Refining Late Stage. It seemed that the force behind this auction was not simple.

"Earth shakes the high mountain, a beautiful sight for thousands of years."

Lin Chen's voice was calm and indifferent, without any hesitation. He immediately reported the recommended password given by Xu Mengyun.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator carefully examined Lin Chen and smiled, saying,

"The Eastern Dynasty's vast sea, the Immortal River flows for ten thousand years."

With a powerful voice, he responded to the password. Then, he reached under the counter and pressed something, triggering a half-zhang wide opening on the ground, revealing a row of dimly lit stairs leading to an unknown place.

"Please enter, guest. Walk along the passage to the end, and you will reach the location of the auction."

The middle-aged cultivator's face showed no expression as he calmly spoke to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen remained vigilant in the unfamiliar environment, but he did not show any fear on his face. Instead, he glanced at the other person lightly and walked towards the stairs without hesitation.

The stairs descended, with a lamp placed every ten zhang, casting a dim light.

After walking along this passage for about fifteen minutes, Lin Chen finally reached the end and saw a door with two black-clad guards standing on either side.

Obviously, this was the entrance to the underground auction.
