The boss of the underworld is a wife-loving maniac

Chapter 167 1 Qi Transformation 3 Clearing the Remains

"I'm so tired. This mountain is too high."

Lin Chen sat on the stone steps. He placed the already finished peach blossom wine beside him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a surprised look.

This mountain does not look very high when viewed from below, but when you actually climb it you will find that it seems to have endless steps, and climbing to the top is extremely difficult.

"Hoo ho! Ho ho ho ho!"

The bone-chilling cold wind swept through the dead branches and leaves, making a harsh sound, like ghosts howling and wolves howling, making people feel creepy.

After the rest, Lin Chen set out on the mountain climbing journey again. The howling wind did not affect him at all. Instead, it made him feel a little cool and he climbed faster.

"Thum...thum...thum..."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the cold wind had died down. On the barren and desolate mountain peak, only the sound of Lin Chen's footsteps echoed. Each step was slow, but firm.

He never lacked patience. Yue had already replied to his message. He had no worries and had enough time to conquer the mountain.

The sun sets, the moon rises above the willows

One night, Lin Chen stopped. He had reached the top of the mountain. In front of him were those dilapidated buildings.

"It's so beautiful..."

Lin Chen was not in a hurry to enter the building complex. He turned around and looked at the path he had taken. He found that the stone steps were still very short and he could see the end at a glance, just like when he came here.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of overlooking all living things and holding the sun, moon and stars in his hands, as if... he had transcended this world, or in other words, all the heavens and worlds.

"Heh... I'm only in the Golden Immortal Realm, but I actually have this feeling. I must be dreaming."

Lin Chen quickly returned to normal. He muttered to himself, shook his head, and walked towards the dilapidated building.

When he approached the building, he found that it was a dojo, but there was no plaque and the door was half-open, as if the owner had forgotten to close the door when he left in a hurry.

"excuse me."

Lin Chen pushed the door open carefully. The friction between the rotten wooden door and the moss-covered ground made a sound that could have traveled through time.

The gym was empty, with weeds already half a person tall. All the rooms had collapsed and turned into ruins. Only the main hall remained as it was, but it was only a matter of time before it turned into ruins.

Lin Chen slowly walked into the hall, which was very dark. Before he saw anything of interest, the smell of rotting wood already hit him.

The crossbeam of the hall was across the middle of the floor, covered with mushrooms, and seemed to have fallen down for some time. The windows were covered with green plants, and under the cover of such dense green plants, not even a trace of light could enter the hall.

"call!"

A blood-red red lotus fire appeared in Lin Chen's hand, helping him illuminate the dark environment. Although he could see clearly without the help of light, he still liked to use fire to dispel the darkness.

With the help of the light of the fire, Lin Chen began to search in the hall. The hall was empty. There were no ancient books or scrolls on the bookshelves, tables and chairs. The people who lived here had taken them all away.

"This is... Laozi?"

Lin Chen accidentally glanced at the clay statue in the main seat of the hall and found an old Taoist riding a green bull with a kind smile.

Although it is just a statue, it has an otherworldly temperament and blends in with the heaven and earth.

There is no doubt that this green ox and this appearance are the Laozi who rode the green ox out of Hangu Pass in the legend.

"This statue is quite interesting. Is there something else inside?"

Lin Chen approached Laozi's statue, looked at the smiling old man, placed his palm on the statue, and injected the rolling immortal energy into it.

Not long after this action was carried out, he discovered something unusual.

There seemed to be a bottomless black hole inside the statue, which continuously absorbed the divine energy he injected into it.

"Om..."

Lin Chen's eyes condensed, and a huge amount of immortal energy gushed out from his palms, almost forming a rushing river, roaring into the interior of the statue.

With his continuous infusion of immortal energy, the statue of Lao Tzu gradually emitted a mysterious black and white light, and the light became brighter and brighter, but it was not dazzling, but rather very ethereal and soft.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Lin Chen's eyes were enveloped by light. He subconsciously closed his eyes to avoid looking directly at the light. After a few breaths, the light slowly dimmed.

He then opened his eyes again, only to find himself in a pure white space. The sky and the earth were dyed with a layer of snow-white, giving people a very ethereal and sacred feeling.

About a few dozen feet away from Lin Chen, an ancient pine tree was growing vigorously as if it had existed for eternity.

Under the tree there was an old man in a Taoist robe. His hair and beard were all white, and there was not a trace of energy fluctuation in his body. He looked like an ordinary person, sitting quietly.

Lin Chen walked forward slowly and bowed respectfully.

"Senior, are you the one who brought me here?"

Lin Chen's words fell, but the old man did not react at all.

He just sat quietly under the tree, not even his eyelids or breathing changed, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him and could not make him react.

In fact, if the old man was not still breathing, Lin Chen would probably have thought that he had passed away.

"Senior? Is there any reason why you brought me here?"

Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Lin Chen did not get angry. He bowed and asked curiously.

"Shh!"

When Lin Chen finished speaking, a ray of light flashed, and a misty and ethereal aura instantly spread out.

He looked closely and saw a scroll emitting black and white Taoist charm floating in the air.

The old man under the ancient pine tree still did not react, as if he did not notice the energy fluctuation just now, or he did not care at all.

"One Qi turns three pure things!?"

Lin Chen reached out and grabbed the scroll in the air. After reading a few lines of text, his face suddenly changed, showing a rare look of horror.

The Three Pure Ones is a legendary supreme secret technique of Taoism. It is said that it can create three clones.

The clone can not only help the caster absorb spiritual energy, but also fight independently. It is very terrifying. He didn't expect that he would obtain such a peerless secret skill in such a place. It is simply unbelievable.

“Is it incomplete?”

However, Lin Chen's joy was soon dissipated. He frowned and looked at the broken part of the scroll, revealing an expression of disappointment that he could not hide.

If even one word is missing from the supreme secret technique of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones, it will not be able to exert any power at all.

The scroll in his hand was only half of a complete scroll, let alone performing the One Qi Transformation into Three Purities. This scroll was of no use to him now.

"But even so, thank you very much, Senior."

After a brief disappointment, Lin Chen quickly adjusted his mindset. He collected the fragments of the One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones, then bowed to the old man and thanked him.

Although he didn't know who the old man was, he must be a Taoist master without a doubt. He left behind the fragments of "One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones" and allowed him to come here to obtain the fragments. He wanted to thank this old man very much.

The old man meditated without changing his expression, as if he had not heard Lin Chen's words, but Lin Chen was already used to it.

He looked around the space, wanting to leave here and return to the ancient battlefield.

"Om..."

At this moment, a ray of light slowly flew over from a distance, hovered in front of Lin Chen, and flickered slightly.

"Shh!"

Lin Chen felt the urge to touch the light, and he did so. As the light flashed before his eyes, he disappeared into the space.

As Lin Chen disappeared, the space slowly collapsed and shattered, and the body of the old man under the ancient pine tree also began to slowly disintegrate.

He still didn't react, but at the last moment, the corners of his mouth seemed to curve slightly...
