[However, what surprised me was when AZi's social circle became so wide. It's one thing to know the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, since AZi is a Spirit Beast from there herself, but how does she know the Ice Empress and Snow Empress from the Extreme North Land?]
[The Star Dou Great Forest and the Extreme North Land don't seem to have any contact. It would be good enough if they didn't start a fight upon meeting, so how did AZi become sisters with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress? I really don't understand.]
[Moreover, I wonder if AZi has any good Spirit Beast sisters in the ocean too. I'm really curious; this is truly one of the unsolved mysteries of the Douluo Continent—AZi's social circle?]
Near Sea God Island, deep within the ocean.
Bai Xiuxiu wiggled her caudal fin and gently touched her mother Xiao Bai's body.
"Mama, when we go looking for Lin Chen in the future, let's just be Sister Zi Ji's Spirit Beast sisters from the sea, okay?" (Shark Language)
Hearing her daughter's idea, Xiao Bai nodded in agreement. This was indeed a good excuse to get close to Lin Chen.
However, it was still too difficult for them to head to the Douluo Continent right now because neither of their cultivation levels had reached the Vicious Beast rank.
Although Xiao Bai could transform using her innate talent, she could only maintain it for a short while. It was simply impossible for her to set foot on the Douluo Continent and survive.
As for her daughter Bai Xiuxiu, it went without saying. She hadn't even reached a hundred thousand years of cultivation, so transformation was still too far off for her.
Fortunately, the rewards from the diary instance were very generous. In just over ten days, their cultivation had increased by several thousand years. All in all, the future looked promising.
At this moment, on the Chat Group interface, Liu Erlong, who had been suppressed for a long time, could finally show off.
[My Surname Is Not Yu: Hehe, I'll be arriving at Heaven Dou City soon. I'll finally be able to see Lin Chen. This time, Lin Chen shouldn't be able to run away. I've been searching for a whole month, and finally, my dream is coming true.]
[My Surname Is Not Yu: Lin Chen, here I come!]
[I Am the Little Princess: I'm almost there too, and I'm carrying one million gold coins with me as my tuition fee. Once I get stronger, I'll go back and ask my old man for more money to give to Lin Chen.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: So terrifying!]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Is this what a real Young Miss is like? Rongrong, you're way too rich. One million gold coins... even if I sold myself, I probably wouldn't be worth that much.]
[A Little Fox: Uh...]
[A Little Fox: Xiao Wu, don't belittle yourself. You're worth more than you think. Forget one million gold coins; even if the price was ten times higher, you'd still be worth it.]
[Liu Erlong: Exactly, Xiao Wu. You're a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast; you're very valuable.]
[Loves Eating Carrots:...]
Over the next few days, through the combined efforts of Lin Chen, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue's factions, the Lin Sect Techniques swept across the entire Douluo Continent, thoroughly making the Lin Sect's name famous.
During these few days, the Lin Sect also recruited many members, most of whom were high-level Spirit Masters.
It was worth mentioning that Liu Erlong and Ning Rongrong also officially joined the Lin Sect, and the entrance gifts they brought were hard for Lin Chen to refuse.
Ning Rongrong brought one million gold coins, while Liu Erlong went even further and directly gave the entire Blue Tyrant Academy to Lin Chen.
Faced with their enthusiasm, how could Lin Chen refuse? The Lin Sect was in its starting phase and was pitifully low on resources, so the more of these entrance gifts, the better.
Inside the Lin Sect's training grounds.
"Sect Leader, please continue to teach me the Mysterious Heaven Skill personally. Rongrong hasn't learned it yet."
Ning Rongrong pulled on Lin Chen's hand and started acting spoiled.
Over the past few days, she would seek out Lin Chen from time to time to interact with him, and Lin Chen felt embarrassed to refuse, considering he had accepted Ning Rongrong's one million gold coins.
Furthermore, according to Ning Rongrong, she would donate even more gold coins to the Lin Sect in the future, which made Lin Chen sigh at her wealth and generosity.
Faced with such a wealthy little lady, Lin Chen naturally had to work hard at teaching her. After all, one's hands are short when taking from others, and one's mouth is soft when eating from others; Lin Chen was a man of principle.
"Alright then."
In the face of Ning Rongrong's coyness, Lin Chen once again personally guided her in cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
"This part should be like this. Rongrong, you got it wrong again..."
As time passed, under Lin Chen's step-by-step personal instruction and reminders, a reluctant Ning Rongrong finally completed her cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
"Wow, this Mysterious Heaven Skill is indeed powerful. The speed of meditation and cultivation is several times faster than our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Meditation Method."
After running a full cycle of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ning Rongrong's excited voice rang out. No wonder Tang San was able to become the ultimate winner in the original storyline; the benefits of this Mysterious Heaven Skill were profound.
After teaching Ning Rongrong, Zi Ji's figure appeared beside Lin Chen. After exchanging a subtle look with Ning Rongrong, she leaned into Lin Chen's ear and whispered something.
Then, Lin Chen's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared outside the Lin Sect.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Lin!"
The moment Lin Chen appeared, a middle-aged man dressed in red looked at him with reverent eyes, his voice filled with excitement and respect.
Lin Chen's current status was that of the Dao Ancestor who had preached to the Douluo Continent, a great contributor who had directly accelerated the development of the Spirit Master's world by thousands of years.
Towards such a person, anyone would show the highest level of respect.
"Mm. Leave the things your Supreme Pontiff sent, and then you may go."
This man in red was a Cardinal from Spirit Hall, but Lin Chen didn't know him, so he didn't say much.
Following Lin Chen's instructions, the Cardinal set down the items covered in red cloth behind him, and then he pulled an exquisitely packaged envelope from his sleeve.
"Sect Leader Lin, this is a letter that our Supreme Pontiff instructed me to deliver to you personally. I hope you will accept it."
Knowing that this was a letter from Bibi Dong, Lin Chen stepped forward two paces, took the letter from the Cardinal, and then instructed him:
"Pass a message to your Supreme Pontiff for me. Tell her that I will go to see her very soon."
"Yes."
Hearing Lin Chen's command, the Cardinal nodded repeatedly and then left the Lin Sect.
After a moment, Lin Chen walked among the gifts brought by the Cardinal, pulling back the red cloths to reveal exquisitely packaged boxes inside.
Lin Chen opened the boxes one by one and found that they actually contained Spirit Bones, and all of them were at least a thousand years old.
There were even three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones.
Not only that, but these exquisite boxes also contained precious herbs and spiritual fruits, none of which were of low age.
"Donger's congratulatory gift is far too generous."
After marveling for a bit, Lin Chen opened the letter Bibi Dong had sent via the Cardinal:
"A Chen, I know you've established the Lin Sect. These treasures are just a small gift from me. In the future, when I have gathered more treasures, I will send them to you."
...
"Finally, since I've prepared this so carefully, how do you plan to reward me in the future?"
