Sincerity? Cultivation Method!

"Beast!"

Xu Fei's furious voice came through the phone, clearly showing his intense hatred for the actions of Zheng Peng and his disciple.

"I'll leave the rest to you!" Lin Chen said calmly.

"Okay, I'll handle it!" Xu Fei replied with a grave tone.

After hanging up, Lin Chen returned to school. As he passed by a sewer, his brow suddenly twitched. "That cat!"

Lin Chen was able to find Tang Jiajia entirely because of that cat. The cat wasn't weak; it was definitely a strange beast. Had it deliberately guided him to Tang Jiajia?

Unfortunately, there was no trace of the cat now, and it wouldn't be easy for Lin Chen to find it again.

Shaking his head, Lin Chen returned to the dormitory. Fatty was already back, his face flushed as he held his phone and chatted.

Seeing Fatty like this, Lin Chen couldn't help but be stunned and quickly asked, "Fatty, you're not falling for her, are you?"

"Brother Chen, you have no idea how difficult Jingjing is," Fatty said with emotion.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Fatty. "A gambling-addicted dad, a sick mom, a younger brother in school, and a broken her?"

"How did you know?" Fatty was surprised. He hadn't said anything, yet Lin Chen had guessed it.

As soon as he said this, Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at Fatty and said earnestly, "Fatty, I think you should find someone here at school. Ruin some underclassmen; the girls outside, you can't handle them!"

"I know what you mean. Zhang Song and Chen Ping also said Jingjing is a scammer!" Fatty glanced at Lin Chen and said calmly, "But I can feel Jingjing's sincerity. She's not scamming me!"

Looking at Fatty's expression, Lin Chen opened his mouth, and finally let out a sigh, "As long as you're happy!"

The woman Fatty knew wasn't a ghost. At most, she'd scam him out of some money. Nowadays, boys had to go through this stage to become men.

Besides, Fatty hadn't even graduated yet and didn't have much money to be scammed out of. Even if he was scammed, would their dorm brothers lack a meal for Fatty?

Some things, you only grow after experiencing them yourself. Therefore, Lin Chen didn't interfere too much in this matter. This was probably Zhang Song and Chen Ping's attitude as well.

Lin Chen simply washed up and went to sleep, only waking up the next morning. Fatty, on the other hand, was fast asleep. He had chatted until one or two in the morning, so it was no wonder he couldn't get up.

Lin Chen didn't disturb Fatty. He left the dormitory and went to the cafeteria to eat. While eating, he suddenly saw news about Qingzhou University.

It documented Zheng Peng's murder of Tang Jiajia, detailing how Zheng Peng had scammed her for money and sex, then killed her, destroyed the body, and covered it up. When the Public Security Bureau investigated, he chose to commit suicide out of guilt!

Lin Chen wasn't particularly surprised by this outcome. Since matters involving cultivators weren't publicized, Zheng Peng could only be considered an ordinary person. The reason for killing Tang Jiajia couldn't be raising a ghost.

Just after finishing breakfast, Lin Chen logged into the Cultivator Forum to look for suitable missions. Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

"Master Yi Jie?"

Seeing the caller ID, Lin Chen was slightly startled, then answered the call. Master Yi Jie's voice immediately came through, "Benefactor Lin, good news! This humble monk has found a cultivation technique!"

"Cultivation technique!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up at the words, and he quickly asked, "Where are you?"

As his strength continued to increase, Lin Chen felt that his defense was too weak. Although his recovery was astonishing, getting injured still hurt!

Therefore, Lin Chen urgently wanted to find a body-hardening technique to enhance his defense, but he had no leads. Finding it himself would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

He had entrusted Master Yi Jie to help, but he hadn't held out much hope. After all, Master Yi Jie had also said that cultivation techniques were the foundation of major powers and were almost impossible to pass on.

He hadn't expected that only a few days had passed, and Master Yi Jie had actually found a cultivation technique.

"This humble monk is on his way to Qingzhou University. Please wait a moment; I'll be there soon," Master Yi Jie's voice came through the phone.

"Okay!"

Lin Chen hung up and immediately rushed to the school gate. After waiting for about ten minutes, a familiar off-road vehicle pulled up in front of him.

"Benefactor Lin."

Master Yi Jie parked the car and handed Lin Chen a simple, ancient-looking thread-bound book. "This cultivation technique is called Iron Shirt. It was obtained by a friend of my master's while dealing with an Evil Cultivator. I shamelessly asked for it."

"Iron Shirt!"

Lin Chen was no stranger to Iron Shirt, but he hadn't expected Master Yi Jie to produce this particular technique. It was a relatively common body-hardening technique, which explained how Master Yi Jie managed to obtain it through a favor from his master's connections.

"Iron Shirt is a relatively common body-hardening technique, but if cultivated to a high level, it is still not to be underestimated," Master Yi Jie said to Lin Chen.

He was worried that Lin Chen might look down on the technique for being too common. However, most body-hardening techniques weren't particularly valuable and were considered lower in value among cultivation techniques. This was because cultivating such techniques was the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring great perseverance and willpower to achieve anything.

[Can Strengthen Martial Art: Phoenix Undying Body First Level (5/9), Iron Shirt]

Seeing the system panel's notification, Lin Chen smiled calmly. "It doesn't matter. Having a cultivation technique is good enough. I was in need of a body-hardening technique!"

If it could be strengthened by the System, then it was a true cultivation technique, and that was enough. Ordinary body-hardening techniques?

Lin Chen didn't care at all because the System could not only record martial arts but also strengthen and upgrade them. The seemingly ordinary Iron Shirt, once strengthened and upgraded, would its effect increase by who knows how many times!

Master Yi Jie was also relieved. He had finally repaid the favor to this "god of killing."

"Master Yi Jie, you look well. Have your injuries recovered?" Lin Chen looked at Master Yi Jie. His complexion was clearly much better than when they were at the Wu family.

"I've recovered almost completely," Master Yi Jie smiled slightly and continued, "I came this time not only to give Benefactor Lin the Iron Shirt but also to bid you farewell."

"Farewell?"

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Master Yi Jie, are you planning to return to Vajra Temple?"

"That's not it."

Master Yi Jie shook his head slightly, his expression solemn. "This morning, fellow disciples from the monastery sent word. They discovered traces of Demonic Evil at the border between Qingzhou and Xuzhou and invited me to join them in eradicating it."

Demonic Evil?

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. What did Demonic Evil represent? It represented Origin. He had been worried about not finding a suitable task to obtain Origin, and now Master Yi Jie was telling him where Demonic Evil was wreaking havoc.

Master Yi Jie was practically his personal messenger of wealth!

"Master Yi Jie, I see your injuries haven't fully recovered yet. Why don't I accompany you? If we encounter any trouble, I can lend a hand," Lin Chen said quickly.
