All night long, Lin Chen pondered over this ancient text, carving it into his mind one stroke at a time, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Still missing something.
Each time is engraved in my heart, but I will soon forget it and lose the understanding of these strokes. I repeat this countless times with limited effect.
"Baishu, is this really an ancient text? Even if it is a golden text, it is not so difficult to make progress," Lin Chen said with a frown.
When I first saw the word "jie" covering the sky, it was among the golden characters, but one of them was still engraved on the white book.
But the word in front of me doesn't work.
"It is an ancient character, but unlike other characters, its writing method is very special. You need to engrave it in a very short time," Bai Shu said.
Extremely short. How short is that?
Lin Chen was a little confused, but this was probably related to the specific characteristics of this ancient writing.
Lin Chen tried a few more times, engraving at extremely fast speeds, but he could only write down the shape of the characters.
"How much faster?" Lin Chen touched his chin.
Immediately, a faint blue halo lit up on his body, and a sword appeared in front of him.
Stop water.
"That's a good idea!" Bai Shu chuckled.
At this moment, the field of Shisui unfolds.
With Lin Chen's current level of strength, and the Zhishui Sword that has completed its first condensation, the Zhisui Domain's maintenance time is no longer what it used to be!
At least I can hold on for five or six breaths!
Under the Zhishui realm, Lin Chen looked at the ancient writing again. This time, he clearly felt something was different.
It seemed that something was fleeting and difficult to grasp before, but at this moment, it slowed down and was captured by Lin Chen.
"This word..." Lin Chen had some insights.
Soon, the Zhishui realm dispersed, and Lin Chen took a pill and continued to use it.
This cycle went on and on, until Lin Chen's face turned slightly pale, and he was unable to withstand such a huge amount of consumption. Lin Chen finally realized this word under the Zhishui Domain!
Ancient text——"instant"!
The power of an instant is an extreme speed!
The strong man who created this text pursues unrivaled speed. Of all the methods in the world, only speed cannot be broken!
"Only in the Shisui realm can we catch up with the speed of this ancient writing. It is indeed worthy of the word "instantaneous"! "Lin Chen couldn't help but admire, his eyes were extremely hot.
This text is so powerful, it is a huge bonus for Lin Chen!
Whether fighting or escaping, everything will be qualitatively changed because of this word "instant"!
"The top red text is stronger than the "medicine", "flying" and "wing" you got before. Even phrases like "flying wing" are not comparable," Bai Shu said excitedly.
Engraving this text will definitely take her one step further!
Lin Chen nodded, then calmed down his emotions and began to carve seriously.
This is by no means a simple matter.
As top-notch red text, it is already close to the level of gold text. It is extremely difficult to engrave it.
With the help of Zhishui Domain, Lin Chen was able to recognize the word and understand the meaning within it, but it was not enough to engrave it!
But this word was of great help to Lin Chen. Lin Chen had no distracting thoughts at the moment and tried his best to carve this word.
But at night on the second day, Zhang Tianxue knocked on the door.
It was to invite Lin Chen to a cocktail party.
Zhang Tianxue said before that he wanted to take Lin Chen to meet an acquaintance. The appointment was originally scheduled for the morning, but Lin Chen had no intention of coming out of the room, so it was postponed until the evening.
Finally, he simply invited Lin Chen to a cocktail party held tonight.
"What kind of cocktail party?" Lin Chen asked.
"It's a cocktail party held by the Qianhuang Ancient City Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the attendees are all the forces that run the chamber of commerce. I went there to see the world," Zhang Tianxue said with a smile.
She was also a trustee and spent a lot of money to get this quota. Otherwise, with her status in the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, she would not be qualified to participate.
Lin Chen did not refuse.
As for the deduction of the word "instant", you can just do it silently in your mind. Anyway, you have already mastered it initially and can advance without paying full attention.
But now, Lin Chen is naturally able to do two things at once.
"Who is the acquaintance you are talking about?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
"You'll know when we get there," Zhang Tianxue chuckled.
Lin Chen already had some guesses in his mind.
At night, Qianhuang Ancient City is brightly lit, and there are lively scenes everywhere. If it were not for the existence of the Evil Mother, Qianhuang Ancient City at night would be more attractive than during the day.
It's a pity that the outside world still doesn't know that Yin Gui Evil Mother has died in Lin Chen's hands. At least men have scruples when traveling.
Of course, Lin Chen would not take the initiative to reveal this matter. It would not be good for him, but would attract other people's attention.
Walking side by side with Zhang Tianxue on the street, although people came and went, the two of them attracted special attention. People passing by couldn't help but take a second look.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They look like a perfect couple.
Zhang Tianxue's cheeks were slightly red, but she had experienced a lot, and she was not the innocent and ignorant little girl she was back then, and she was not shy at all.
Chatting with Lin Chen along the way, Luo Luo was generous.
"We're here," Zhang Tianxue said with a smile. In front of them was a luxurious restaurant, one of the best in Qianhuang Ancient City.
This cocktail party is on the eighth floor of the restaurant!
"This Tongming Restaurant has a deep background. A lot of thought was put into its construction. Whether it is the materials used, the design, or the subsequent formation blessings, it is the most high-end!"
"And the inside of this restaurant can be said to be a cave on the first floor. Each floor has changed the environment through a large array, with a different atmosphere, and each private room also has a different style!"
"And the higher you go up, the more exquisite and luxurious it becomes. For example, on the eighth floor, there is a large cloud array, which can make guests entering the eighth floor feel like they are in the clouds, and feel relaxed physically and mentally. It is of great help to practice and enlightenment. !”
"The construction cost of this large formation is no less than five million spiritual crystals, not to mention the many supporting formations, decorations, etc." Zhang Tianxue was introducing Lin Chen.
She is indeed much more experienced, and her perspective on problems is different from before.
"Where's the ninth floor?" Lin Chen asked.
The Chamber of Commerce Alliance of Qianhuang Ancient City has such a high standard that they even failed to secure the ninth floor.
"The ninth floor is specially prepared for the real big shots. There, it can be said to be another world, completely isolated from the other eight floors!"
"It is said that there are three high-level formations arranged above, and the cost alone exceeds 50 million spiritual crystals," Zhang Tianxue said with flashing eyes.
This is Qianhuang Ancient City. Even if it is just a restaurant, it is extraordinary. Without a very profound background, it cannot be built at all!
"It's worth a year's harvest of a small mansion." Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel.
"But even in Qianhuang Ancient City, there are only a limited number of two or three restaurants like this," Zhang Tianxue said with a smile.
Lin Chen nodded.
Now the two of them entered Tongming Restaurant together.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a sense of luxury, but unlike the luxury elsewhere, this place does not have that kind of kitsch, as if those who enter this place are the best among people.
This is probably the atmosphere that Tongming Restaurant wants to create for its customers.
There is only a lobby on the first floor, and there are no private rooms. Lin Chen and the others will not stay here, so they walked through the long red carpet and came to the elevator.
In this restaurant, even the stairs are omitted, all are elevators driven by formations, and compared with the elevators at the Sky Pier, they are more comfortable, like flying in the clouds and riding the mist.
For warriors who have not mastered the ability to fly, this experience is still worth recalling.
After showing the invitation, the waiter opened the elevator and sent Lin Chen and the others to the corresponding floor.
The elevator is not very fast, and when passing through each floor, you can even see the different changes in the four seasons, which is really eye-opening.
This is also the first time Lin Chen has entered such a restaurant. It is indeed high-end!
Of course, no matter how high-end it is, it is just a restaurant, so Lin Chen just treats it with a normal attitude.
"This is also my first time going up to the eighth floor. To be honest, I'm a little nervous. After all, the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce that I represent is just a small role here, and everyone's status is higher than mine." Zhang Tianxue felt a little nervous on the way up slowly. He spoke sheepishly.
It can be seen that she is indeed a little nervous.
Although she has matured a lot, the following cocktail party is the highest level she has ever attended, so she is naturally worried about being looked down upon and looked down upon.
Lin Chen smiled and said: "You should remember that in this world, strength is respected. Any external decoration, noble status, and domineering posture are nothing but dust in the face of strength."
Zhang Tianxue puffed up his cheeks slightly and said, "It's because our Jiuding Chamber of Commerce does not have this kind of strength."
"But I do, just think, if anyone looks down on you, I can beat him to the ground and beg for mercy, so you don't have to feel inferior," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Zhang Tianxue's big eyes flickered, and then he smiled.
There is no one like Lin Chen!
She came to see if there were any opportunities for cooperation. She was preparing to join the Ten Thousand Shang Alliance, but she couldn't fight or kill.
However, when Lin Chen said this, Zhang Tianxue did feel a lot more relaxed and no longer nervous.
Yes, it’s nothing special!
Zhang Tianxue glanced at Lin Chen gratefully, adjusted his clothes, and then the platform rose to the eighth floor, and Lin Chen and Zhang Tianxue walked down.
After passing through a layer of restrictions, the picture in front of you suddenly changed. The huge space gave people a feeling of traveling through the world!
Is this really the inside of a restaurant?
Several huge pillars lead directly to the dome, which are hundreds of meters high. The exquisite murals cover the circular ceiling, which are stories from myths and legends.
It can be seen that it was made by a master.
In front of you, you can see the waterside pavilions and the bamboo music playing in your ears, which is gentle yet elegant, making you intoxicated.
"Over there." Zhang Tianxue quickly looked away. She didn't want to be regarded as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
And when I saw a platform in the distance, the surrounding water was winding, and there were many fish and monsters swimming in it. They had been tamed long ago and did not dare to hurt anyone.
Between the lotus leaves, there is a stone bridge for passage.
At this moment, other people were passing there, heading to the cocktail party on the platform.
"Tsk, what's going on today? Where are the country bumpkins from? They are really annoying to look at and directly bring down the level of the reception!" A coquettish woman held a wine glass with a look of disgust on her face.
"Miss Third, we have indeed opened up a lot of places to some small chambers of commerce this time. We hope to tap some potentials and train them." A man said with a smile and a flattering voice, for fear of angering the woman in front of him. .
This charming woman, named Nalanfu, is the daughter of the leader of the Qianhuang Ancient City Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and her status is naturally very high.
On weekdays, not to mention in Qianhuang Ancient City, even in the Longyun State Atrium, they are all domineering characters!
The man who was smiling apologetically was a steward from the Ancient City Chamber of Commerce Alliance, named Luo Guanming. He was responsible for arranging this cocktail party.
"Hmph, what potential can there be in this group of country bumpkins and mud-legged people? Get rid of them quickly. The smell of this poverty makes me sick to my stomach!" Nalanfu shouted sharply.
How could she, as noble as she was, be in the same place as these country bumpkins?
Doesn't that lower her level?
Not to mention, they have to drink together!
"This... Third Miss, the alliance leader nodded to this matter. If we drive them away now, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. You also know that the alliance leader cares most about reputation." Luo Guanming felt sweat on his forehead and stiffened. scalp said.
Nalanfu's face turned cold and she slapped Luo Guanming on the face.
"Are you trying to disobey me? You're trying to teach me how to do things!" Nalanfu shouted with anger. What she hates most is when someone disobeys her.
Luo Guanming huddled aside, but he could only be obedient and did not dare to speak at all.
"Cousin, I think you shouldn't make things difficult for Luo Guanshi. He is just doing things according to the rules." It was a man who looked handsome and laughed at the side.
Nalanfu looked aggrieved and said in disbelief: "Oh, cousin Ruyu, why did you teach me a lesson? Am I wrong?"
"Of course my cousin is right, but there is no need to let some country bumpkins affect your mood. Forget what you put in before. Just let Manager Luo arrange them in the corner. Out of sight is out of mind."
"As for the rest, don't put it in, otherwise my cousin will be annoyed by it!" Yang Yuru shook her folding fan and laughed.
"Okay, just follow my cousin," Nalanfu nodded helplessly.
Immediately, she glared at Luo Guanming and said coldly: "If you don't do anything after hearing this, if these country bumpkins affect my good mood later, I will skin you!"
Luo Guanming didn't dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly made arrangements. He didn't care whether it was in compliance with the rules?
Fortunately, almost everyone who came tonight has arrived, and only a few people from small chambers of commerce have not arrived yet, so it should not have any impact.
Lin Chen and Zhang Tianxue walked to the stone bridge and lined up to enter. However, when it was their turn, the waiter suddenly glanced at the Sound Transmission Jade and blocked the two of them.
"Sorry, you can't enter here. Please go back," the waiter said expressionlessly.
Zhang Tianxue's expression changed, and she quickly took out the invitation letter and said: "We have received the invitation letter, and we are the invited ones!"
The waiter didn't care, but said forcefully: "It doesn't matter whether you have an invitation letter or not. No one is allowed in now, so you two please leave and don't stay!"
Lin Chen frowned.
"Everyone just went in, why can't we go in when we get there? You have to give me an explanation!" Lin Chen said solemnly.
The waiter became a little impatient. He looked at Lin Chen and said, "If you say you won't let in, you won't let in. Who do you think you are? You want to ask me for an explanation!"
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianxue hurriedly stepped forward and handed a bag of spiritual crystals to the waiter, "We have an invitation letter and we are definitely not coming uninvited, so please be accommodating, brother. This wine party is very important to us."
The waiter weighed the bag, greed flashed in his eyes, and he quickly put away the spiritual crystal.
"As mentioned above, no one is allowed to enter from now on. Maybe there are too many people. It's unlucky for you, we just happened to meet you." The waiter laughed mockingly.
Zhang Tianxue frowned.
An invitation has been sent out and people come according to the invitation. How could there be too many people?
And this eighth floor is so huge. Even the platform in front of us is extremely wide, and there is no possibility of too many people.
But the other party didn't seem to be deliberately making things difficult, but actually received the order not to let anyone in again.
Zhang Tianxue was helpless.
"Let's go first," Zhang Tianxue said to Lin Chen.
"Just leaving like that?" Lin Chen frowned.
Zhang Tianxue smiled and said: "I have been rejected a lot in the past. This is nothing. I will just look for opportunities in the future."
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, but still followed Zhang Tianxue's opinion.
After all, this is Zhang Tianxue's matter. She has her own judgment. Lin Chen can help her, but he cannot help her make decisions.
That's not for her own good.
In this way, the two were ready to leave, but at this moment, several more men and women in luxurious clothes walked towards them, obviously also coming to the reception.
Unfortunately, they also arrived late.
Zhang Tianxue knew one of them, who was from a chamber of commerce in a large prefecture and had a high status. Zhang Tianxue planned to have a few words and informed him that the reception had closed.
But they saw that the waiter did not stop them at all, but instead sent those people to the platform with great respect!
Zhang Tianxue was stunned for a moment, and soon figured out what was going on, and couldn't help but feel extremely bitter.
Without background and strength, he will be played like a clown.
It’s not that no one is allowed to enter the reception, it’s that people of low status are not allowed to enter!
They are not qualified to participate in this cocktail party!
"Let's go." Zhang Tianxue was depressed and his eyes were slightly red.
However, Lin Chen grabbed her hand and stopped her from walking out.
"I'm sorry, originally this was your business and I shouldn't have made my own decision, but leaving like this really doesn't suit my temperament," Lin Chen said lightly.
Zhang Tianxue blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Chen, "You, what do you want to do?"
"I won't leave with you," Lin Chen said.
Zhang Tianxue opened his mouth, feeling increasingly aggrieved, tears welling up in his eyes, feeling abandoned.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's your turn to choose."
"What to choose!" Zhang Tianxue bit his lip, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Are you coming with me?" Lin Chen said.
Zhang Tianxue was stunned, and rationally told her that as a person representing the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, there must be no conflict here.
But at this moment, she found it difficult to reason.
"Yeah", Zhang Tianxue nodded vigorously.
"Then come with me." Lin Chen chuckled, pulled Zhang Tianxue around, and walked towards the stone bridge.
