Chapter 1466: Chapter 1437: Teacher Lin’s Classroom

“Classmates, Little Sunflower Ma… ah, no, it’s Teacher Lin’s class time, hurry over!”

With a shout, all the children of Heisha Ridge, from toddlers to young adults, rushed towards a large hall.

This was where ‘Teacher Lin’ taught at Heisha Ridge.

In a year at Heisha Ridge, only the Big Leader and the Second Leader knew Li Chen’s real name, while he still used the name ‘Lin Chen’ with everyone else there.

It’s worth noting that although the folk of the Heaven Realm were tough, even picking a young lad from the crowd and throwing him into the Lower Realm would make him a Super Expert, yet the level of knowledge here really left Li Chen speechless.

There were indeed people who had ascended from technologically advanced civilizations to the Heaven Realm.

However, after a Martial Artist reaches the Heavenly Level, their cultivation already defies many scientific principles known in the Lower Realm. Even those who ascended from technologically advanced places, over time, would inevitably be influenced by the jungle law of the Heaven Realm, eventually turning their delicate brain cells into muscles. Their offspring would be even more so…

Occasionally, someone might get a chance to return to their hometown to show off…

The earth-shattering power of Heaven-level Experts would definitely shatter many people’s common sense, leaving them astounded, henceforth fascinated by such powerful strength, thus changing the development direction of their technological civilizations…

And so, a vicious cycle emerges.

Li Chen’s will remained resolute, unaffected by the muscular civilization of the Heaven Realm.

In his view, power is indeed important, but wisdom is something not to be lacking.

After joining Heisha Ridge, Li Chen became a teacher for the second time, opening classes for the middle-aged, young, and little ones at Heisha Ridge.

Of course, the elderly could also attend the lessons.

For the younger and younger generations, Li Chen focused on teaching knowledge-related topics, such as laws of physics and mathematics.

Because even in battles, these can be applied, and can help elevate Heisha Ridge’s overall knowledge level in the future.

As for the adult generation, Li Chen did not ‘protect’ them as much, teaching them the art of deceit and manipulation, gradually turning people like Qin Qiang and Luu Zhouzi from gallant green forest heroes to conniving scoundrels.

Nevertheless, it’s undeniable that since Li Chen started teaching, the general atmosphere of learning at Heisha Ridge has grown increasingly intense.

The younger generation focused on techniques of power application, like how to explosively release power in a geometrically multiplied manner with minimal effort.

While the older generation learned where best to execute the next Fooling the Immortals act…

“From a mathematical perspective, this spiral method should maximally unleash power, but for True Qi and True Yuan, it needs exploration. Based on my experiments, it should be feasible…”

“The joints of demon beasts are the most flexible and, at the same time, the most vulnerable. So during battles, if we wish to impair their mobility, we must first clearly observe the focus points of the beast’s joints, and then counter-attack in the opposite direction. This way, we can achieve the greatest results with the least effort…”

“Alright, that’s the end of today’s class. Little guys, go find some demon beasts to experiment with after class. Oh, and if you head to places with Celestial Demon Beasts, make sure to bring an adult along!” As Li Chen’s shout ended, a group of little ones scattered excitedly.

Not long after class ended, Li Chen noticed a group coming over.

“Teacher Lin, it’s done! We’ve conned Spirit Crystals from ten people, and here’s the Spirit Grass you wanted.” Qin Qiang came over with a full grin, a black mark still visible under his left eye.

After all, in scams like this, one might occasionally run into tough folks and suffer every now and then.

“Hmm, not bad.” Li Chen commented indifferently.

“About my pills for next month…”

“I’ll reward you with a twenty percent increase,” Li Chen said.

“Thank you, Teacher Lin! I’ll head off now! Coming to class tomorrow!” Seemingly afraid Li Chen might change his mind, Qin Qiang shouted and dashed off.

Li Chen did not hide his identity as an Alchemist, having the Big Leader inform everyone directly.

Heisha Ridge had no Alchemists; cultivation was quite difficult for everyone, and injuries had to be dealt with on their own. But after Li Chen’s arrival, this situation changed.

Understandably, cultivation requires not only Spirit Crystals but pills are even more useful for regular Martial Artists.

Every month, Li Chen refined a set amount of pills and distributed them among the people of Heisha Ridge for cultivation, while he himself insisted on cultivating with Spirit Crystals.

It’s not that he lacked pills to cultivate; he just believed that cultivating with Spirit Crystals might be more beneficial for him.

Consuming too many pills could lead to pill toxicity, which might be detrimental in the future for Martial Artists aiming for the Supreme Realm, even a slight impact could be fatal.

The people of Heisha Ridge did not have such lofty ambitions, they just wanted to improve their strength quickly, but Li Chen was filled with grand ambitions for his future.

“It’s time to cultivate.” Li Chen glanced at the sky before returning to his residence.

Li Chen’s residence was in the most secluded corner of Heisha Ridge, a place Li Chen had requested on his own accord, with no disturbance from anyone around.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of being exposed, rather, he feared scaring the people of Heisha Ridge.

Over the past year, the cultivation resources Li Chen consumed had reached a staggering level.

Through Heisha Ridge, Li Chen also sold many pills, amassing a vast amount of Spirit Crystals. In the eyes of Qin Qiang and others, Li Chen was seen as the wealthiest person in Heisha Ridge, perhaps even richer than the Big and Second Leaders.

Yet Li Chen knew that he might be the poorest one.

Because all those accumulated Spirit Crystals over the past year were entirely used up by him for cultivation.

Moreover, he has absorbed a tenth of the Spirit Vein obtained from Devil Ruin Mountain!

A tenth might not sound like much, but a Spirit Vein could serve as the foundation for a Sect, enriching the Spiritual Energy of a place, making it suitable for cultivation for at least thousands or tens of thousands of years!

Yet such a Spirit Vein was reduced by a tenth by Li Chen within a year, indicating the terrifying amount of cultivation resources Li Chen required.

However, Li Chen’s efforts were paying off as well.

Within this year, his cultivation not only broke through to the Late Stage of the Envy Heaven Realm but has also amassed to an immensely profound level now.

“Boom!!”

From within the layers of formation in Li Chen’s closed-door cultivation place, a dull rumbling sound was heard, causing the entire closed cultivation area to tremble slightly.

Under the illumination of the Luminescent Stones, Li Chen calmly opened his eyes.

“The Late Envy Heaven Realm, finally perfected.”
