This dragon jade is so large and pure; it's probably at least three thousand years old, suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to use for breakthroughs. It's enough to ignite a fierce battle among Foundation Establishment experts, even a life-or-death struggle!
Now, Lin Xiuyuan uses it to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, which increases the chances of success far more than ordinary dragon jade, bringing at least a 20% chance.
In other words, it can enable Lin Xiuyuan's chance of establishing his foundation to reach an astonishing 60% or 70%.
Such high-quality dragon jade brought a look of surprise and delight to Lin Xiuyuan's face.
Because of the loss of that patch of haunting orchid's melancholy, much of it dissipated.
"If I fail to reach the Foundation Establishment stage this time, it truly means I'm destined to die!"
Lin Xiuyuan carefully put away the dragon jade, then sat cross-legged with great joy, intending to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible before seeking a secluded place to cultivate and break through to the Upper Realm in one fell swoop!
...
Several days passed.
These external injuries had mostly healed and had little impact, so Lin Xiuyuan decided to leave. He instructed his maid to inform Chen Xue of his departure.
After packing his things, Lin Xiuyuan went to the courtyard and waited quietly for Chen Xue to arrive.
After a while, Chen Xue's tall and graceful figure appeared at the door. She walked slowly in, exuding the same noble and aloof temperament as always, full of charm.
Chen Xue asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you planning to leave?"
"Well, the matter is settled, and my injuries are almost fully healed. It's time to leave," Lin Xiuyuan said with a fist and a fist salute.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xue hesitated and appeared somewhat uneasy. She said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, the matter from a few days ago was not my intention. I could not disobey the orders of the Five Ancestors!"
The Fifth Patriarch?
It seems that the old man was indeed a Golden Core cultivator from the Chen family, and not just a Purple Mansion stage expert...
Lin Xiuyuan seemed to be deep in thought. He remained silent for a moment, his face showing no unusual expression, and then calmly smiled:
"It's alright. I was somewhat prepared for this. The five ancestors of the Chen family even gave me a dragon jade to maximize my chances of foundation building. I'm already quite satisfied with that. Compared to the Netherworld Orchid, which I won't be able to use for a long time, this is a very satisfactory result for me."
Lin Xiuyuan understood that this was probably not Chen Xue's intention, but rather something she couldn't control. He wasn't overly concerned about it, especially since the outcome was satisfactory.
That is enough.
After saying this, Lin Xiuyuan took his leave and turned to leave.
However, Chen Xue called out to him, and the unnatural look on her face gradually became more pronounced and strange.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please wait..." Chen Xue seemed rather awkward, inexplicably displaying a somewhat girlish shyness. She lightly bit her red lips, revealing a uniquely alluring charm, and softly said:
"If Fellow Daoist Lin truly desires a Netherworld Orchid, you might consider keeping it with my Chen Clan. I have essentially secured my position as the Princess of the Chen Clan, and thus am still lacking a Daoist partner. If Fellow Daoist Lin has such a desire, perhaps..."
These words were quite blunt, and upon hearing them, Lin Xiuyuan's face showed a rare moment of stunned silence...
