Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2187 - 2188: Alchemy

"Is that so."Lin Chen appeared somewhat helpless; this person was overly vigilant. So, without further words, he shrugged his shoulders, stepped forward, and said, "I would like to ask the elder to help refine a pill."

"What pill?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment; it seemed Chen Jie hadn't told him the name of the pill, so he covered his face with his hand, coughed dryly, and reluctantly repeated the properties mentioned by Chen Jie.

"Oh, it's the Spirit Gathering Elixir."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin knew the name of the pill Lin Chen described. He then extended his hand and asked, "Where are the necessary materials?"

"Here they are."

Lin Chen promptly handed over all the herbs he had found to Chen Lin. Lin Chen gave him an exasperated glance and said, "You only remember me when there's something good."

Lin Chen chuckled awkwardly and then, as if recalling something, slapped his forehead and said, "Right, I encountered the demonic sect while gathering these materials."

"Hmm? Tell me more."

Upon hearing about the sect's trail, Chen Lin's spirits lifted, and he eagerly inquired.

Since the last encounter with the demonic sect, they had vanished for quite some time. Even though Chen Lin and others had searched for them, they found no traces, only remnants of their presence.

Thus, upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Chen Lin became extremely eager.

Lin Chen observed this and recounted what he saw and heard on the way to Chen Lin.

As he listened, Chen Lin's brows sometimes relaxed, sometimes furrowed. By the end of Lin Chen's account, his brows formed a deep "river" shape.

"According to you, it seems the demonic sect is plotting something major. But strangely, after all this time, they remain inactive."

Chen Lin was puzzled. Other than their previous accidental exposure, forcing them to show themselves, the demonic sect remained hidden, their whereabouts unknown.

"I don't know. But it seems they're still hiding in these woods." Lin Chen shrugged.

"Indeed, but if they never come out, it'll be troublesome. We can't find them and must remain vigilant against their opposition."

"Sigh!"

The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more frustrated he became, heavily sighing. It's easier to be a thief for a thousand days than to guard against one for a thousand days.

"Never mind; let me report this later and take some people to check out the place you mentioned."

Chen Lin shook his head, dismissing the incomprehensible, and added, "You can have that little girl stay with my daughter; I'll go refine the pill. Once it's done, I'll find you."

Chen Lin waved his hand and headed inside, closing the wooden door behind him without any intention of inviting Lin Chen in for a chat.

Lin Chen, seeing this, smiled softly. Based on their time together, he knew Chen Lin's temperament and wasn't offended.

...

After bidding Chen Lin farewell, Lin Chen returned to Chen Jie's residence, where Chen Jie and Sun Tianming had already arrived.

They were all in the room, and their gazes were fixed on Meng Shan. They smiled lightly, speaking softly to Meng Shan, their tones indescribably gentle.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chen entered, puzzled.

"We're naturally introducing her to the Green Ripple Sect."

Chen Jie replied, shooting Lin Chen an annoyed glance, "Unlike you, who told her nothing, leaving her confused about where she is now."

Lin Chen shook his head, bitterly smiling; he didn't avoid explaining to Meng Shan but had limited knowledge himself, and with Meng Shan's silence along the way, there was little time for explanations.

"Big brother... just didn't have the time," Meng Shan timidly said, lowering her head even further, seemingly unused to the previous concern from others, feeling quite uneasy.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er had cleaned her up, restoring her complexion to its former fair state, with a spotless face and dressed in a light blue dress.

However, the dress seemed slightly large, loose-fitting on her petite frame.

"Indeed, a person solely focused on cultivation rarely has time to talk about such things."

Chen Jie nodded in agreement and then asked, "Have you found everything you need?"

"Yes, I've already handed it to the elder."

Lin Chen nodded and added, "By the way, Elder Chen wants her to stay with you from now on."

"That's better than being with you rough guys." Chen Jie nodded, showing great affection for Meng Shan.

Meng Shan also nodded lightly in agreement.

While on the way, Lin Chen had mentioned this to Meng Shan, so she wasn't resistant. Despite some discomfort, she naturally had no objections to gaining great strength.

Thinking of this, Meng Shan's hand tightened inside her sleeve.

"The pill probably won't be ready for a while, so during this time, why don't you talk about your experiences."

Chen Jie then said, although they had asked Meng Shan before, it seemed those events had left deep scars on her psyche, making it hard to get information from her.

"Outside."

After Lin Chen spoke, he walked outside. There was no way he could discuss the tragedy of her family in front of Meng Shan; it would only rub salt into her wounds.

Sun Tianming and Chen Jie followed Lin Chen out, while Lin Wan'er was left behind to take care of Meng Shan.

...

After some time, Lin Chen carefully disclosed all the details to the two of them, and after repeating it twice, he couldn't help but feel a bit parched.

"What a pitiable person..."

Chen Jie sighed, her gaze drifting to the obedient girl inside, filled with uncontainable pity.

"Damn demonic sect!"

Sun Tianming also clenched his fists in resentment, remembering the last time they were ambushed.

"The affairs of the demonic sect are beyond our concern; the elders of the sect shoulder those burdens."

Chen Jie regained her composure and said calmly, "What we can do now is enhance our own strength; otherwise, dealing with those from the Azure Dragon Society will be challenging when they return."

Sun Tianming took a deep breath: "Yes! We need to focus on the present. Once the pill is ready, let's head to the training grounds. Its uniqueness combined with the pill will give us the strength to contend with Tao Yuyu when he returns!"

"Training grounds?" Lin Chen paused.
