Chapter 433: Chapter 8: The Breathing Technique Turmoil, The General Trend Is Set!

The matter of exploring the Martial Arts Palace relic quickly spread across the entire Situ Island.

The Four Great Clans held a secret meeting overnight to study the impact of this relic exploration.

However, there were too many cultivators in the relic at that time.

Two to three thousand cultivators, hundreds of Martial Arts Breathing Technique scrolls, had long been distributed to every corner of Situ Island.

Moreover, the members of the Four Great Clans were not even aware of the authenticity of the Martial Arts Breathing Technique.

Even those patriarchs, who were in high positions and held the livelihoods of tens of thousands of cultivators, might not detect the essence behind this relic.

In their view, this Martial Arts Palace relic might just be an ordinary body cultivation sect from ancient times.

Just one of the countless relics out there.

They could not yet infer the future impact of this matter...

Therefore, for the moment, they could only leave it unresolved.

This wave of relics seemed not to have caused too much attention or disturbance.

Most of the cultivators who obtained the cultivation techniques returned home to practice secretly.

Meanwhile, the exploration team from the Four Great Clans took the Breathing Technique back to study, to discern its authenticity.

Besides leaving more than five hundred Breathing Technique scrolls, Lin Chen also left some demon beast flesh beneficial for the Martial Path, including a few pills.

"Next, we just need to wait for things to ferment quietly..."

Lin Chen murmured and then returned to Grey Stone Island to cultivate in peace.

Currently, Lin Chen’s main focus was still on mastering the Power of Time.

With Lin Chen’s continuous practice, his mastery of the Power of Time had greatly improved.

Not only could it affect living beings, but it could also impact non-living objects.

For instance, in a humid environment, Lin Chen could apply the Power of Time on an iron sword.

Within a few breaths, the iron sword would rust and decay, equivalent to going through ten years.

And once the iron sword rusted, Lin Chen could also use the Power of Time to restore it to its original state.

In this way, Lin Chen’s progress in training the Power of Time significantly increased.

Besides cultivating the Power of Time, Lin Chen also did not neglect the cultivation of the Martial Path and the realm of cultivation.

After all, the realm is the foundation of everything.

His cultivation was still done methodically, even though Lin Chen would take spirit liquid every so often to speed up the process.

But having just broken through to the latter stage of the Nascent Soul, he was still some distance from Nascent Soul Perfection.

However, progress in the Martial Path was much faster.

After breaking through to the Martial Emperor, Lin Chen cultivated the tenth generation Martial Arts Breathing Technique.

Every day, the natural increase in his Qi and Blood ranged from one to two hundred, and with the occasional consumption of fifth-tier demon beast flesh essence, he could increase his Qi and Blood Value by five to six thousand points in a month.

In the blink of an eye, six months passed.

The Martial Arts Palace relic seemed to have caused no noticeable impact.

Everything in the Meteor Islands remained as it was...

Until six months later.

...

Fufeng Island.

After applying a disguise, Lin Chen was leisurely drinking tea at a teahouse on the street of the marketplace.

The teahouse was filled with many cultivators, all engaged in animated discussions.

This was an establishment that provided information exchange among cultivators, and Lin Chen would come here to sit for a while whenever he had nothing to do.

"Old Wang, do you still remember the Martial Arts Palace relic from half a year ago?" a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the wooden table behind Lin Chen asked in a low voice.

"How could I forget? I even went there back then! Got a spiritual medicine, sold it for three thousand spirit stones..." The speaker was a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator.

"Have you heard of the Evergreen Hermit? He’s a well-known Golden Core Loose Cultivator on our Fufeng Island... back then, he snatched a Supreme Technique from the Martial Arts Palace!"

"I’ve heard that in these past six months, he has been studying this technique and has collected numerous pills and sea beast meat to support his cultivation. In just half a year... his Body Refining Cultivation has already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the teahouse all turned their heads.

"Is it true? Six months... reaching Foundation Establishment in Body Refinement! You’re joking!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"How could it be? Just the other day, the Evergreen Hermit said it himself! That Martial Arts Palace was a Major Sect from ancient times! I heard... the Evergreen Hermit already plans to focus on that technique!"

"Perhaps within a few years, the Evergreen Hermit’s Body Refining Cultivation could also reach the Golden Core Stage!"

Although most cultivators did not believe it, doubts had already started to arise in their hearts.

Lin Chen even heard that some cultivators were inquiring about that technique.

Once the news spread, those who previously obtained the Breathing Technique, regardless of whether they had practiced it before or not, might spend time in the future practicing it.

Lin Chen sat a while longer in the teahouse when, suddenly, he sensed something unusual in his storage bag.

Taking out a Sound Transmission Jade Scroll, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Taoist Friend Fufeng is looking for me?"

...

A moment later, Lin Chen appeared in Fufeng Prefecture.

At this time, more than ten people from the Fufeng Clan’s direct lineage had gathered in the patriarch’s meeting room.

Besides True Man Fufeng, the Fufeng Xingchen brothers, and Fufeng Xiaoya were also present.

"Brother Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Fufeng Xiaoya’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she quickly approached.

"Brother Lin, we haven’t seen each other for a long time..."

In the short span of five or six years, Fufeng Xiaoya was no longer the little girl she once was. She had grown more and more charming, becoming a renowned beauty of Fufeng Island.

Moreover, Fufeng Xiaoya’s talent was better than her two brothers, and now her cultivation was already nearing the Golden Core Stage.

It should be noted, she was not yet twenty, an absolute genius.

"A year apart, Xiaoya has grown even more charming. If you have any confusion about your cultivation recently, you can come to Grey Stone Island to find me..."

Lin Chen smiled and said.

Fufeng Xiaoya was immediately filled with joy upon hearing this, as Lin Chen typically did not allow other cultivators on Grey Stone Island.

To her, being allowed on Grey Stone Island was a form of favoritism.

True Man Fufeng maintained a calm expression, always having thoughts of bringing Lin Chen and Fufeng Xiaoya together.

And Fufeng Xiaoya greatly admired Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen did not have such intentions, so he declined tactfully several times.
