Lin Chen, a Protagonist who's considered a "laid-back" character, isn't entirely so.
He's a couch potato because he's already invincible, has nothing to desire, and wants nothing more.
Therefore, they can live Xiaosa, comfortably, and without worries.
But he also cares deeply about the female confidantes around him.
If a close female friend gets into trouble, even if you're usually a lazy bum, you'll never hesitate to lend a helping hand.
In the original storyline, Lin Chen left his courtyard several times because his confidante got into trouble.
One instance was when Dongfang Bai was trapped in Shaolin.
The Shaolin in this Zongwu World is completely different from the Shaolin in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World; it has a complete lineage.
There are a bunch of hidden masters like the Sweeper Monk and the Fire Lighting- the Final Master.
Dongfang Bai's martial arts were completely crippled.
This directly angered the Protagonist.
Lin Chen flew to Shaolin Temple, crippled the cultivation of all the masters from top to bottom, and burned down their scripture pavilion.
The other three times, one was for Wang Yuyan, one was for the Palace Moon Palace of the Flower Transferring Palace, and the last time was for the witch Wanwan.
Hmm... something feels off?
Something's not right. Lin Chen, who started later, is likely to break all the records set by the Protagonist.
Almost every female protagonist in a martial arts world whose name you can recall lives in his courtyard.
Isn't that outrageous? Isn't that shocking?... Aren't you envious?
What Ling Yi needs to do is keep the Protagonist busy.
It's not that difficult to do this.
Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry. He hadn't properly organized his gains from the previous world yet, so he decided to do so in this one.
Moreover, as long as he releases a new cheat code every day, the Jianghu will inevitably descend into chaos due to the existence of these cheaters.
Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, take it slow, no rush.
If we were to create a list of attributes for Ling Yi now, it would probably look something like this:
Name: Ling Yi; Realm: Mid-stage of the Revive Realm, Second Layer Longevity Scripture the Longevity Scripture; Bloodline: Thunder Dragon Bloodline, Rank 15; Innate Divine Ability: Armor Transformation Level 5, Thunder Transformation Level 4, Thunder Domain Level 2, Mastery of the 108 Formations; Techniques and Martial Arts: Soaring Roaming Dragon Jin, Burst Qi Art...
Other techniques such as alchemy, weapon crafting, and Formation will not be discussed in detail, as they have all been Fusion into the Qimen Array by Ling Yi.
Looking at it this way, Ling Yi's surname is quite flashy.
Putting everything else aside, beating up the Protagonist Lin Chen might be... well, that seems a bit risky.
Lin Chen is also directly involved in cultivation, and he's a sword cultivator at that—the kind who can destroy half a mountain with a single sword strike.
Sword Qi, Sword Momentum, Sword Intent, and Sword Heart seem even more Void compared to cultivating the Ethereal.
For any Protagonist wields a sword, their attack power is essentially limitless.
"One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate" —that sword truly Open the Heavenly Gate.
In any case, Ling Yi is not capable of Open the Heavenly Gate for the time being.
Ling Yi also lacked the ability to summon Ten Thousand Swords with a single shout of "Swords, come!"
Regardless of its power, the special effects are definitely impressive.
If given the chance, Ling Yi would definitely study sword cultivation.
Ling Yi robbed so many sects in the " Longevity " world, but the most valuable things he had were still Formation Pattern and runes.
Among them are thirty-six Formation Pattern and seventy-two runes, totaling one hundred and eight, which corresponds to the concept of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends.
What Ling Yi needs to do is to completely Fusion these 108 Formation Pattern and runes into his 108 Qimen Array.
This is no small undertaking. Ling Yi had already Fusion a portion of it, which greatly increased the power of the Qimen Array. If he were to Fusion the entire formation, Ling Yi believed that the Qimen Array would undergo a complete transformation.
In the eyes of Lin Zhennan and his wife, their son seemed to be becoming increasingly reluctant to go out.
Aside from eating, he spends his days fiddling with something in his room.
Ling Yi told them he was cultivating, and they reluctantly believed him.
But if you're just practicing cultivation, why do you need to ask Lin Zhennan for Map showing the locations of various sects?
This thing is top secret; it's really not easy for the average person to get their hands on it.
Fortunately, Lin Zhennan came from a background of running a security escort agency, and his escorts traveled all over the South Sea, so drawing a rough Map of the various sects was not a problem for him.
What does Ling Yi need this Map for? Of course, it's to Warmth to the various sects!
Everyone gets a share of the rewards; each sect produces one overpowered player. Isn't that fair and reasonable?
Ling Yi doesn't go out during the day, and sometimes he doesn't come back all night.
Ling Yi would mark any sect that he had ever shown Warmth with an X.
During this time, the cheat codes that the system refreshed also broadened Ling Yi's horizons.
The Get Stronger by Working System given to Old Bai of Tongfu Inn, the Unlimited Top-Up System" given to Lin Zhennan, and the Chivalry Points System" given to Yu Canghai are all legitimate cheat codes.
Then came the idea that smiling makes you stronger, crying makes you stronger, being hit makes you stronger, being scolded makes you stronger, and swearing makes you stronger...
If these hosts with cheat-like abilities grow up, they're guaranteed to corrupt this Jianghu world.
Especially those two who become lighter when they curse and stronger when they are cursed—if they were to meet, the scene would be quite wonderful to imagine.
About two months later, Ling Yi finally integrated all 108 Formation Pattern and runes into the Qimen Array.
If the previous Qimen Array could only be considered Mortal Tier Divine Ability, then now it has completely become a celestial technique.
"Son, why do you seem a little different from before?" Lin Zhennan looked at Ling Yi curiously.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
"With your level of cultivation, what could you possibly see? Have you even settled the accounts of the escort agency?"
Lin Zhennan's face darkened instantly. It's been two months already, is this mess never going to end? He snorted coldly, ignored his unfilial son, and turned to go back to his room to sulk.
Meanwhile, in an extremely ordinary courtyard on the western outskirts of Fuzhou City.
A dozen or so beautiful girls were frolicking and playing.
Some of them were playing mahjong, some were playing poker (like Dou Dizhu), and a few were even playing billiards.
That's right, this is the courtyard of the Protagonist Lin Chen, also located in Fuzhou City.
But this place is too remote, and few people usually notice it.
The players playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) are Lianxing from the Flower Transferring Palace, A Zhu from the Murong Manor, and A Zi, who recently joined the group.
The mahjong players were Yaoyue, the Grand Mistress of the Flower Transferring Palace; Dongfang Bai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect; Wanwan, the successor of the Yin Gui Sect and a witch; and Shuang'er from the Deer and the Cauldron.
At this moment, Yaoyue drew a card and casually played it, saying, "White tile. Have you heard anything about the Bixie Sword Manual from the Fuwei Escort Agency lately?"
"Bang! Hongzhong, I've heard of him before. I didn't expect the Bixie Sword Manual to be so powerful. Are you interested?"
"Although I don't really believe in the idea of becoming Master Acquired, that Bixie Sword Manual must have some merit. After all, there's no smoke without fire. I plan to investigate the Fuwei Escort Agency tonight."
"If it's true, then..." she said, glancing at Lin Chen, who was drinking tea and basking in the sun not far away.
Dongfang Bai player to Wanwan Bai's left, picked up a card and played a red dragon, saying, " The Fuwei Escort Agency is located in Fuzhou City. You two sisters must take me with you then!"
Shuang'er carefully picked up a card, then discarded the red dragon from her hand, and asked softly, "Can I take you with me?"
"You're only at the Acquired Fifth Stage Realm, what are you going to do?"
"I also want to do my part for you, young master. Your strength is too weak. If you could become Master, then your safety would be guaranteed."
Dongfang Bai nodded and said, "That's true. This kid's strength is mediocre, but he has so many treasures. If the people of the Jianghu find out, he probably won't even know how he died."
So these women still don't know that Lin Chen is Supreme expert, and that he doesn't practice martial arts but cultivates immortality.
In other words, Lin Chen was unaware that they were plotting to obtain the Bixie Sword Manual for him; otherwise, he would have definitely said to them, "Listen to me, thank you!"
Furthermore, Lin Chen hasn't yet received the reward for signing in Formation master; that's for chapters 200 and beyond.
In the eyes of these women, he is now just a novice in the Jianghu with Second Level of Acquired acquired skills.
"Let's plan this out first." Yaoyue was the most skilled among them, and the only one who had reached the Master Realm.
Dongfang Bai's strength is slightly inferior to hers, being at the Peak Innate. Wanwan is slightly inferior to Dongfang Bai, Innate Eighth Stage Realm. As for Yu Shuang, she is not even considered Battle Power and doesn't even have the chance to join in the fun.
"If Lin Pingzhi is truly Master Realm expert, then dealing with him will likely not be easy."
"Although there is only a fine line between the Innate and the Master, they are actually worlds apart. It's not just about being able to Internal Energy Projection; it also involves a deeper understanding of martial arts and one's own path in Martial Dao."
"Without understanding the Martial Dao, it's difficult to become Master; this is not just an empty saying."
"If the opponent is a Master Realm expert, I will be responsible for restraining him. You will capture Lin Zhennan and his wife, and force them to hand over the Bixie Sword Manual in turn."
"If Lin Pingzhi isn't Master, then just kill him!" Yaoyue said with a sneer.
If it's not Master, then the rumor that the Bixie Sword Manual can make someone Master overnight is false. What's the point of having it then?
To prevent future troubles, it's best to kill them all to save time and effort.
Neither Dongfang Bai Wanwan said anything about this. As the leader of a Demonic Cult sect and a demoness of a Demonic Sect clan, they Sikong such methods.
Only Shuang'er, her face pale, weakly asked, "Isn't doing this a bit inappropriate?"
None of the three paid any attention to Shuang'er's words. That was just how they did things; whether others understood or not was not their concern.
"I heard that Yu Canghai has reformed?" Wanwan asked, changing the subject.
Speaking of this, Dongfang Bai laughed and nodded, saying, "I wonder if that Sect Leader Yu has some other purpose, or if he's gone mad. Right now, the entire Qingcheng Sect is acting like a chivalrous hero."
"Throughout the Qingcheng Sect, any disciple who commits evil deeds has had their cultivation crippled and been expelled from the sect. It seems like they're serious about it."
"Could this matter be related to Lin Pingzhi?"
"Whether it's related or not doesn't matter. I'm tired. I'm going back to rest and recharge. I won't eat dinner." Yaoyue stood up and went back to her room.
Dongfang Bai and Wanwan exchanged a glance, then each snorted coldly and turned to go back to their rooms.
Shuang'er was helpless. She didn't even dare to speak loudly because she was too weak. She longed to become stronger, because only by becoming stronger could she protect her young master.
Ling Yi was completely unaware that Dongfang Bai, Yaoyue, and Wanwan were planning to steal the Bixie Sword Manual from him.
Ling Yi had guessed that he might attract some covetous people because of the Bixie Sword Manual.
But two months have passed, and there has been no news whatsoever.
Ultimately, it's just that the title of "Master" is a bit too intimidating.
Those who have already become Master don't need the Bixie Sword Manual, and those who haven't become Master, since they can't defeat Master like him, naturally wouldn't dare to provoke Master like her.
Just as Ling Yi had guessed, many people wanted to target Lin Zhennan and his wife.
Ling Yi strictly forbade Lin Zhennan wife from stepping out of the Lin residence. For this, Lin Zhennan had been beaten by Ling Yi several times.
It was precisely because of this that Ling Yi had these two months of peace.
Ling Yi wasn't afraid of these people, but rather found them troublesome.
The rewards Ling Yi Ling Yi received from the more than sixty "golden fingers" he used over the past two months have gradually become more substantial.
The Longevity Scripture was forcibly pushed to the third level of the Reincarnation Realm.
Thus, Ling Yi took a solid and powerful step towards becoming invincible and lying flat on his back.
