Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2131: Chapter 2132: Scripture Repository Pavilion

”Greetings Sect Master.”

Chen Lin walked up to the hall, his expression stern, his hands placed on his chest, bowing and clasping his fists, respectfully speaking to the figure seated on the high seat a few meters in front of him.

”Dispense with formalities.”

The figure sat at the top, his right hand resting on the chair, supporting his cheek, while the other hand lightly tapped the left side armrest. This person was none other than the Sect Master of the Green Ripple Sect, Liu Qinghan.

He appeared to be in his forties or fifties, in the prime of his life, but for some reason, when Lin Chen’s gaze touched his face, he seemed to see an indescribable sense of weariness, especially in those deep eyes, reflecting a fatigue from witnessing the world’s affairs.

”Explain the situation this time.” Liu Qinghan said indifferently.

Chen Lin straightened his clothes, stood up, and slowly said, ”This time I led the sect’s disciples for a trial by journey, and discovered a highly spiritual beast a thousand miles from the sect. We intended to capture it and train it into a good spirit beast for the sect’s protection. However, during the capture, we were ambushed by the Crimson Flame Sect.”

”Those damn Crimson Flame Sect!”

To Chen Lin’s left, a hot-tempered man slammed the chair and stood up angrily, saying, ”I’ll slaughter them sooner or later!”

”Well, what’s the use of boasting? Who was it last time that got chased all the way?” The lady Lin Chen had seen before sneered.

”You!...” The man’s expression changed, and he shouted, ”Xiao He, what do you mean?”

”Nothing much, just pointing out that without enough strength, don’t boast.”

Liu Qinghan furrowed his brows and patted the chair, saying, ”Quiet.”

The voice, although not loud, caused the surroundings to quiet down. The man sat on the chair angrily, breathing heavily, looking extremely furious.

Once calm was restored, Chen Lin cleared his throat and continued, ”Although I was injured in the ambush, Li Old Ghost didn’t fare well either; most of his disciples became prey to the beast, and he even lost an artifact, while the spirit beast escaped. I assume he won’t have an easy time upon returning.”

”Good! Serves him right; it’s like losing both his wife and soldiers,” which prompted laughter around. The Green Ripple Sect and Crimson Flame Sect have always been at odds, so seeing the enemy suffer naturally brought them delight.

”Additionally, Sect Master, this is the young friend I met on the way, whose physical strength is remarkably powerful, among the strongest I’ve ever seen, not beyond five fingers.”

Chen Lin pointed to Lin Chen beside him, speaking with praise in his tone.

”Oh?” Liu Qinghan’s gaze fell on Lin Chen, sizing him up, although Chen Lin had already sent ahead news about him, Lin Chen’s seemingly weak appearance piqued his curiosity.

Lin Chen calmly met Liu Qinghan’s gaze, their eyes clashing, seemingly sparking, his expression fearless. Having seen many scenes, though his cultivation was currently lost, the pride hidden in Lin Chen’s heart remained, facing the Sect Master without causing a ripple.

”Interesting.” Liu Qinghan smiled approvingly, nodding.

Just now, he had exerted some spiritual power pressure, yet it seemed to have no effect on the person before him. He lightly tapped the armrest, softly asking, ”What’s your name?”

”Lin Chen,” Lin Chen replied indifferently.

Liu Qinghan nodded slightly, speaking softly, ”Unpretentious and steadfast, seems like a good seedling, but there’s no fluctuation of spiritual energy?”

Lin Chen nodded slightly and then said, ”I have not cultivated any spiritual energy cultivation technique, hence I lack such aura.”

Liu Qinghan furrowed his brows slightly, glanced at Chen Lin, and after seeing his nod, Liu Qinghan closed his eyes briefly, then slowly opened them, saying, ”In that case, Chen Lin, take him down later to choose a cultivation technique for practice.”

”Aren’t you going to thank the Sect Master?” Chen Lin tugged Lin Chen’s sleeve, signaling.

”Thank you, Sect Master.” Lin Chen clasped his fists and said indifferently.

...

Following Liu Qinghan’s cue, Chen Lin led Lin Chen out of the hall. Once they departed, Liu Qinghan calmly said, ”What do you think of this Lin Chen?”

”Too arrogant, lacking the strength to support it, might meet an early demise,” an elder spoke first.

”Young people tend to have some arrogance; without that proud spirit, they won’t go far on this path.” Liu Qinghan said calmly.

”Seems the Sect Master has already reached a conclusion, so we won’t make rash comments.” The elder said.

”Observe him closely, if his physical strength is adequate, coupled with cultivation of spiritual techniques, the tournament next year might bring unexpected results.” Liu Qinghan closed his eyes, pondered briefly, then said, ”But to be safe, let’s have disciples from the Hall of Enforcement check his background.”

”Yes!”

...

Regarding the situation in the hall, Lin Chen naturally did not know.

He was currently following Chen Lin’s figure moving through the Green Ripple Sect.

”This is the main peak, and there are several sub-peaks. The sect’s library of martial skills is located among these sub-peaks.”

Chen Lin led Lin Chen, moving downward.

Their figures traveled about a third of the way, when Chen Chen directed Lin Chen to continue along a secluded path paved with blue bricks on one side.

On both sides of the path, many peach trees bloomed with crimson flowers, falling and drifting in the valley breeze to the bricks below.

Lin Chen took a light sniff, only to smell the fragrance permeating like bones, relaxing his mood slightly.

Walking here made Lin Chen forget the time, simply following Chen Lin’s figure.

Until the fragrance dissipated, and he arrived before a tall tower.

On the tower, the words ”Library of Martial Skills” were engraved.

”This is where our sect has accumulated numerous cultivation techniques and spiritual skills over a millennium, displayed across multiple floors, serving as the essence of our entire sect.” Chen Lin proudly introduced.

Lin Chen clicked his tongue, sighing inwardly, this tower stood seven or eight stories high, occupying tens of acres, suggesting the richness of the texts inside.

Outside, several figures stood guard, ensuring the tower’s safety, while others patrolled around. Security seemed tight.

Chen Lin handed over the token to a person, then led Lin Chen inside.

Upon entering, Lin Chen distinctly felt as if he was passing through a faint layer of mist, which lingered momentarily on him before vanishing, quite unusual.

”This is a formation restriction, to prevent reckless intrusions and to record the characteristics of those entering and exiting. If something happens to the library, it allows us to quickly identify traceable traits.” Chen Lin continued explaining.
