I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 65: Anomaly

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Chen standing still, the old man couldn't help but ask.

"Master Uncle, has something happened in the sect recently?" Lin Chen took off the spirit leaf from his brow and hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

"Hmm?" The old man, who had been sneakily reading a book on the ground, paused for a moment upon hearing this, but then casually said, "Oh? Has something happened? Why don't I know? Are you overthinking?"

"Is that so?" Lin Chen looked directly at the old man and said, "Then why are there so many disciples leaving the mountain recently?"

Information and intelligence are not static, but constantly being updated.

After Lin Chen had just finished checking the information about the Lin family, he looked at the previous records and unexpectedly found that the amount of information collected before was much less than in recent times.

He then checked the recent records of disciples leaving the mountain and was surprised to find that in the past three months, the number of disciples leaving the mountain to carry out missions or for other reasons was several times higher than before!

"Could it be that the Xuan Yin Sect is causing trouble in the Azure Cloud Sect's territory?" This thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Because there were no records of fighting with Demonic Cultivators among the returning disciples' mission records.

On the contrary, most of the disciples who left the mountain were from small forces within the Azure Cloud Sect. Recently, these forces had encountered various problems, so they went back to resolve them.

"Hmm? It seems so." The old man took back the spirit leaf and placed it on his forehead, carefully examining it, and indeed found that there was such a matter.

"But I haven't heard of any major incidents happening between subordinate forces..." The old man had a hint of doubt on his face.

The real major events are happening at the higher levels. Even if something really happened, it should start from the Azure Cloud Sect. What's going on with the subordinate forces?

"Maybe there have been some conflicts between the forces under my sect recently? So they gathered the disciples in the sect to go back and mediate. It shouldn't be a big deal." After a while, the old man finally said.

"Is that so..." Lin Chen hesitated after hearing this, but couldn't analyze anything.

"The Lin family's situation and the sudden increase in disciples leaving the sect don't seem to be related..."

Without enough information and intelligence, Lin Chen couldn't connect these two things together. He just felt that the sudden increase in disciples leaving the mountain was a bit strange, but he didn't know where the problem was.

"The matter with the Azure Cloud Sect shouldn't have much to do with the Lin family. Maybe I'm overthinking... Anyway, I must go back and settle things once and for all, after all these years of grievances and grudges." Lin Chen made a sudden decision in his heart and no longer hesitated.

"Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave, thank you, Master Uncle." Lin Chen bowed and turned to leave.

"Wait, since you're a good kid, I'll give this to you!" Just as Lin Chen was about to reach the door, the old man suddenly called out to him.

"What..." Lin Chen turned around, only to see a jade box flying towards him.

"What is this..." Lin Chen quickly caught the jade box and opened it, only to find a peculiar spirit plant inside.

It had the shape of a cow and was surrounded by wisps of white clouds, giving off a mysterious aura.

"This is the 'Chariot and Horse Orchid'!" The voice of the old man came from the side. "The ancient texts say: the Chariot and Horse Orchid grows in famous mountains. It is said to have been formed by the seven chariots and horses of Emperor Yao. When you consume it, it will form a condensed cloud in your dantian. Whenever you use any tricks related to speed or escape, you can envelop a strand of cloud Qi from within your body, which will double your speed."

"Not only that, when you receive a fatal blow, it will manifest itself, helping you withstand the fatal strike, and forming a cloud mist under your feet, carrying you a hundred miles away to escape danger." The old man explained.

"This..." Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Whether it was the enhancement of speed, immunity to fatal blows, or flying through the clouds, any one of them was a good means of survival. But this spirit plant seemed to possess all three!

Is it fair to say that this is the sect of plant enthusiasts, where various corresponding spirit plants can be cultivated according to demand?

"Disciple thanks Senior Uncle for this." Lin Chen thanked.

"Mm." The old man nodded, indicating acceptance, and then lay back on the wooden chair, apparently meaning to see the guest off.

Seeing this, Lin Chen took his leave first and left.

As he walked out of the room, a smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

He didn't expect to receive such an unexpected joy this time.

"However, the identity of this Senior Uncle seems to be higher than I expected..."

The first time he went there, plus catching the Senior Uncle on duty reading a book, he thought the other party's status shouldn't be that great.

But just now, during their conversation, he unexpectedly learned that the other party actually managed the information that only true disciples and Foundation Building elders could access, and even gave him a precious spirit plant, the "Chariot Horse Orchid," which he had never heard of before. It seems that he is not an ordinary elder.

"But..." However, Lin Chen couldn't understand one thing:

Do high-level cultivators also like to read books about romance and beauty?

Inside the hall, sensing that Lin Chen had walked far away, the dignified expression on the old man's face changed instantly: "Damn it, it's really tiring to pretend. It's not easy being an elder these days. Why do I have to be so proper?"

"And, how does this brat walk so silently and always choose to walk in invisible places? If it weren't for the need to heal his injuries and cultivate the 'Withered Glory Nine Transformations' last time, causing him to lose his perception, and his excessive focus..." Thinking of what happened last time, the old man couldn't help but feel a toothache.

Not many disciples from the sect can come here. Usually, two or three days pass without seeing anyone. Last time, he couldn't bear it and took a look, and coincidentally ran into him.

"Never mind, what's wrong with me, an old man, having some hobbies? Besides, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed." The old man said with a puffed-up air.

"But this kid is quite capable. He actually vaporized True Qi, and..." The old man pondered for a moment, "should I recommend him as a true disciple?"

As for how Lin Chen achieved this, the old man didn't want to investigate. After all, in this day and age, who doesn't have some secrets?

If every secret had to be investigated thoroughly, it would lead to discord within the entire sect.

"And, recently, there have been quite a few disciples leaving the mountain... Has something happened down below? Why haven't I heard anything from the Law Enforcement Hall?" After thinking for a moment, the old man sent out a communication talisman.

"Ah, at my age, I should be taking care of my health. If it weren't for that brat always wandering around, saying that he wants to crush the grand conspiracy of the Profound Yin Sect, would I be so tired..." The old man grumbled a few words, then waved his hand and the books on the ground flew into his hands.

"Oh yeah! I haven't read this one, it's new!" The old man carefully looked at the cover, his eyes lit up, and he immediately started reading.

"I had a candlelit conversation with my senior sister, and I was so excited that I took out my Spirit Weapon, the Pure Yang Staff, for my senior sister to admire.

When my senior sister saw it, she was amazed, and then she delicately held it and observed it more closely, and then...

Note: There is evidence with pictures.

"

"Great!" The old man's face was excited, and he exclaimed loudly.

Just as he eagerly turned to the next page, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

After a long time, a pig-like scream came from the room: "You brat, I'm going to kill you!!!"

On the last page of the book that was thrown on the ground, it was written:
