I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 131 - 107: Puppet’s First Trial, The Farcical Foundation Establishment Celebration!

Chapter 131: Chapter 107: Puppet’s First Trial, The Farcical Foundation Establishment Celebration!

Lin Chen looked at Li Zhenqian sneaking around at the door and found it somewhat amusing.

Li Zhenqian was peering into the shop from outside. Upon seeing Lin Chen, he first looked delighted, then assumed a serious expression and said:

"Senior Brother Lin, I have successfully established my Foundation!"

"By the way... I’m merely at a Perfect Foundation Establishment!"

Li Zhenqian spoke as nonchalantly as possible.

However, his proud little gaze and the deliberately emphasized tone made him appear somewhat comical.

Lin Chen chuckled inwardly.

"You rascal... Don’t think I don’t know you’ve achieved Perfect Foundation Establishment? I was the one who sold you the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Though Lin Chen knew this well, he did not say it out loud.

Instead, he unusually went along with Li Zhenqian’s act, showing a surprised expression.

"Junior Brother Li, you are at a Perfect Foundation Establishment too?!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

After hearing Lin Chen’s flattery, Li Zhenqian finally showed a satisfied smile.

He just established his Foundation yesterday and traveled thousands of miles back to the Changchun Sect today.

For what reason?

Just to show off in front of Lin Chen!

Now that the goal was achieved, he felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

Hence, he took out an invitation and handed it to Lin Chen, saying:

"Tomorrow is my Foundation Establishment grand celebration! I have come today to invite you, Brother Lin. I intend to host a banquet at the Changchun Marketplace, where many sect geniuses will attend!"

"Uh, Foundation Establishment requires a grand celebration?"

Lin Chen could not help but ask.

In the past six months, at least ten disciples have established their Foundation in the Changchun Sect.

Most disciples, upon reaching Foundation Establishment, would just invite a few friends for a small private gathering.

But from Li Zhenqian’s mouth, how did it become a grand celebration?

Even Core Formation might not warrant such an emphasis!

Hearing this, Li Zhenqian flushed red, also realizing he was being a bit ostentatious.

However, since he already said it, how could he retract it?

So he insisted:

"Just come! Those who can attend my Foundation Establishment celebration tomorrow are all geniuses of the sect..."

Saying this, Li Zhenqian shoved the invitation into Lin Chen’s hand.

Watching Li Zhenqian’s retreating figure, Lin Chen couldn’t help but cover his face and smile wryly.

"This kid..."

The next afternoon, Lin Chen arrived on time at Li Zhenqian’s Foundation Establishment gathering.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Lin Chen heard someone calling his name.

Upon approaching, Lin Chen greeted, "Senior Brother Li, I heard you also succeeded in Foundation Establishment a while ago... I was busy with important matters and didn’t pay a visit. Please forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fengping shook his head repeatedly and laughed:

"Hahaha, it’s just Foundation Establishment... nothing worth visiting for!"

After saying this, Li Fengping felt something was amiss, nudged Li Zhenqian beside him, and added:

"Of course, for Perfect Foundation Establishments like Junior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Li... it’s somewhat different."

Hearing this, Li Zhenqian’s expression finally improved a lot.

Lin Chen looked around and asked somewhat puzzled:

"Junior Brother Li, didn’t you say it’s a grand celebration for Foundation Establishment? Why are there only about ten cultivators... I heard you even booked all the private rooms in the restaurant today."

Hearing this, Li Zhenqian’s face immediately turned dark again.

For this gathering, among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, only Li Fengping and Lin Chen attended.

The rest were about seven or eight fellow Qi Refiners who had reached Qi Refining Perfection...

But thinking about it, during this time of chaotic conflict, most Foundation Establishment disciples have gone out to earn Sect Contribution.

How many would specially come to attend a mere Foundation Establishment celebration?

Li Zhenqian obviously felt like losing face, but still stubbornly said:

"Haha, maybe... it’s still early, and everyone hasn’t arrived yet!"

And so, another two-hour period passed.

But still, not many people arrived, and Li Zhenqian could no longer maintain his composure, feeling utterly embarrassed, on the verge of tears.

Seeing this, Lin Chen took out a top-grade Magical Artifact and said:

"This Flying Sword was acquired at the auction in Guangyuan Town... I present it to you, Junior Brother Li!"

Li Zhenqian was taken aback, receiving the top-grade Flying Sword with disbelief.

"Wow, this artifact must be worth at least four hundred Spirit Stones, right? Junior Brother Lin, you’re really generous!" exclaimed Li Fengping, who stood beside him.

Lin Chen smiled without speaking.

Li Zhenqian suddenly felt quite proud and couldn’t help but think to himself:

"Hmm, Lin Chen isn’t as bad as he seems!"

Thus, this mishap of a Foundation Establishment celebration was successfully carried out.

The content was nothing more than a group of Inner Sect disciples bragging and discussing the recent situations in the Yanlai Realm.

In fact, this could be considered a sort of intelligence sharing, but unfortunately, most of the information Lin Chen already knew.

So Lin Chen kept eating, occasionally lifting his head to exchange pleasantries with some fellow cultivators.

Until halfway through the gathering, a figure suddenly walked into the private room.

It was Jiang Liqian!

Li Fengping was stunned and whispered, "Cousin, did you actually invite Junior Sister Jiang?"

Li Zhenqian instinctively nodded.

He had indeed sent an invitation to Jiang Liqian, but he didn’t expect her to actually come.

Seeing Jiang Liqian sitting down directly, Li Zhenqian immediately felt quite proud, thinking he was in the limelight.

Jiang Liqian, after all, was truly the number one genius girl of the Changchun Sect!

Even Lin Chen couldn’t compare...

Thinking of this, Li Zhenqian looked at Lin Chen smugly, stood up, and toasted Jiang Liqian.

"Senior Sister Jiang... if you were coming, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Waiter, quickly bring another table of dishes!"

Jiang Liqian smiled slightly, poured herself a drink, and sipped, saying:

"Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment, Junior Brother Li... But today, I’m here to see Senior Brother Lin!"

With that, Jiang Liqian gave Lin Chen a meaningful glance.

Lin Chen felt several pairs of intense eyes around him and said somewhat helplessly:

"Ahem, excuse me, everyone..."

Behind him, Li Zhenqian suddenly felt quite losing his dignity again.

...

Lin Chen followed Jiang Liqian to an unoccupied private room and asked somewhat puzzled:

"Junior Sister Jiang, is there something you couldn’t say through the Sound Transmission Jade?"

Jiang Liqian shook her head upon hearing this and said:

"It’s a big deal! Also, I wanted to come by to see if you’ve been slacking off in your cultivation lately..."

Lin Chen felt even more confused after hearing this.

Jiang Liqian’s expression turned serious as she said:

"According to reliable sources, that Ancient Ruins is going to open earlier than expected. It could be in as little as a year and a half!"

"So, you must prepare as soon as possible..."

(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone, may your family be happy and united~)
