Through the light purple radiance of his pupils, the world Lin Chen saw became starkly different!
The numerous tiny dust particles in the secret room became extremely clear, and even every thread and stitch on his own clothes could be seen as clear as palm lines!
"This is the first level of realm, Penetrating Insight. System, again, absorb all the power of my bloodline together!"
Lin Chen closed his door without going out, completely immersing himself in training the Purple Golden Eyes, consuming spiritual force of mystic arts, the system had already directly recorded all the cultivation secrets in his mind, he only needed to absorb the power of his bloodline!
That afternoon; Lin Chen saw the numerous strands of spiritual qi circulating between heaven and earth, previously when he cultivated, it was relying on sensing the heavenly qi with fighting spirit, and now he could already ‘see’ it directly!
This was the second level of realm, Insight as Observing Fire!
The next noon; the observable strands of spiritual qi expanded again, transforming into rows of writhing streams.
The third level of realm; Seeing Qi Produce Dew!
Late at night on the third day; the pitch-black void transformed into a crisscross of purple lights in Lin Chen's eyes, and he even vaguely saw some spatial textures of heaven and earth...
The fourth level of realm; Relying on Purple Lightning!
After absorbing 10,000 points of bloodline energy, Lin Chen cultivated to the fourth level of realm.
Urging the fourth level of realm ‘Relying on Purple Lightning’, even with Lin Chen who possessed a cyan grade mystic art would be somewhat overexerted, and could not use it frequently, otherwise it would consume too much fighting spirit, which would be extremely disadvantageous if in the midst of battle.
In fact, the extent one could cultivate to relying on bloodline energy was only up to the fourth level, the fifth level of ‘Creating Something from Nothing’ and the sixth level of ‘Golden Pupil Twins’ still required relying on one's own comprehension and cultivation.
Early morning on the fourth day; the day the Appraisal Convention was being held!
The entire Shangguan manor was bustling with noise and excitement, lively and crowded, for any appraiser, the Appraisal Convention held special significance, it was like a banquet for alchemists!
"Lin Chen my friend, you've finally arrived!"
In the living room; upon seeing Lin Chen arrive, Shangguan Yunfan smiled brilliantly.
Lin Chen looked around, everyone from the Shangguan family today looked exceptionally formidable and domineering. After several decades, with the Shangguan family ancestral shrine opened again, allowing them to cultivate the Purple Golden Eyes again, all their cultivations had progressed.
After cultivating the Purple Golden Eyes, with the first glance Lin Chen had of Shangguan Yunfan, he already saw through his approximate cultivation level, at the Earth Evil Realm, though his specific level was concealed by himself.
As the fiance of Shangguan Bihan, the group of younger generation from the Shangguan family looked at Lin Chen with envious, jealous and hateful gazes.
After exchanging some pleasantries with Shangguan Yunfan and some elders, Lin Chen saw Shangguan Bihan in the corner of the crowd, along with that gray-clothed old attendant who protected her closely.
Lin Chen rubbed his nose, and conveniently walked over, after all, he was engaged to her now, in the eyes of outsiders he still had to put on an act.
Sitting by Shangguan Bihan's side, she smiled serenely, and said in a low voice: "Big brother Lin Chen, you don't have to be so restrained, I already know the cause of this matter early on."
Lin Chen was startled, and nodded apologetically, "Sorry, doing this kind of thing without your consent and hastily deciding with your father, Miss Shangguan Bihan, rest assured, I will not do anything inappropriate to you using the engagement as an excuse."
"No, I understand my father's decision, ever since I was young he has doted on me extremely, but he is also the family head of the entire Shangguan family, he cannot give up all the family's interests due to personal reasons."
Shangguan Bihan was intelligent as snow and ice, moreover she understood the greater good, it seemed she did not dwell on this matter further.
Seeing Lin Chen and Shangguan Bihan get along so harmoniously, the elders who were secretly observing nodded in satisfaction.
This time, the Shangguan family had meticulously selected over a hundred outstanding talents to come observe, as well as five elders, and the current family head to attend this event.
The group set off, heading towards the Appraisal Convention venue at the Myriad Spirits City Guangyang Hall, not far from the City Lord's manor!
Lin Chen's group had just arrived, and batches of people continuously entered through the venue entrance, with several families arriving even earlier than the Shangguan family.
"Brother Yunfan, long time no see, I've missed you dearly! Didn't expect your family's little girl to actually obtain a gold brick!"
In the crowd yet to enter, several people in the lead walked up and cupped their fists at Shangguan Yunfan, smiling but not smiling.
"Brother Ning, hope you've been well!"
Shangguan Yunfan smiled slightly and cupped his hands in return.
"It's the Huangfu family, previously the family ancestral shrine's restoration was hopeless, our two families had wanted to marry me to cousin Qingyu, looks like they resent father because of the engagement."
Shangguan Bihan's face was slightly red as she softly spoke to Lin Chen at his side, allowing Lin Chen to suddenly understand, recalling Huangfu Qingyu from before. So it turned out his 'engagement' had snatched away the 'happy event' that was originally theirs.
Just as things were subtle between the two families, another group of people walked over.
"Hahaha! Brother Yunfan, with your Shangguan family ancestral shrine restored this time, you all will probably reign supreme!"
The bold laughter resonated all around; it was people from the City Lord's manor! Xing Wanhe and that fat guy in yellow from before were also there.
That fat guy in yellow robes walked over, smiling as he said to Lin Chen.
"After this Appraisal Convention ends, this one sincerely invites you to visit the City Lord's manor as a guest, this is our City Lord's invitation, you must come."
That single line from the fat guy in yellow shocked and stunned all the powers present!
That mysterious City Lord, elusive as a dragon, would actually take the initiative to invite someone over as a guest?
"He's that currently wildly popular prodigy Shi Lezhi?"
"Even the City Lord of Myriad Spirits City has been alerted, this brat's influence is actually so great?"
Everyone kept Lin Chen in mind.
"Oh...alright, I'll go."
Lin Chen was completely confused by the looks of shock cast his way, was this City Lord's invitation really that rare? They were all reacting as if discovering a new continent.
"Hehe, I heard the Nangong family also came, looks like there'll be a good show at today's Appraisal Convention, brother Yunfan, I'll head in first. There's still many old friends inside."
The fat guy in yellow robes looked deeply at Lin Chen, then bid farewell to Shangguan Yunfan and directly entered the venue.
"Why are they so shocked?"
Lin Chen tilted his head to ask Shangguan Bihan curiously.
"Young master Lin Chen doesn't know? This City Lord of Myriad Spirits City is a breathtaking beauty, it's said all who have witnessed her beauty are stunned by her appearance seemingly like a fairy descending to earth."
Shangguan Bihan patiently explained, her beautiful eyes rippling like emerald waves; secretly observing Lin Chen's expression.
"So she's a great beauty!"
Lin Chen's interest greatly rose, Shangguan Bihan's teeth lightly bit her red lips, her captivating eyes flashing.
"Didn't expect young friend Lin Chen to actually receive the City Lord's favor, tsk tsk, let's head in as well."
Shangguan Yunfan exclaimed in surprise, then led the entire Shangguan family to stream inside!
After Lin Chen and the others entered; those few silver-robed figures who had been secretly watching him also followed inside, the leader of those silver-robed people was none other than Master Yan, who Lin Chen had previously defeated!
"Brat, this time I will obtain the secret of your fortune-telling no matter what!"
......
Inside the venue; it was separated into three tiers, with the seats fanning out in a semicircle, able to accommodate over ten thousand people, and there were Spirit Transformation realm experts guarding both sides.
Upon entering the venue, Shangguan Bihan successively introduced the various powers present to Lin Chen.
There was the Nangong family of the Desolate Territory, their appraisal heritage comparable with the Shangguan family.
The free appraisal organization of Qingyue City, as well as many old orthodox appraisal masters of the Earth Spirit Sect in the Desolate Territory. They were all preeminent figures in the Desolate Territory!
Even just the people who could enter the venue were either wealthy or of noble birth. Or perhaps anyone who could enter the Appraisal Convention all had some reputation in the Desolate Territory!
Attending this kind of grand event for the first time, Lin Chen listened with great interest, such splendor was completely inaccessible to the Shenwu Sect Lin Chen had been staying at before!
