Qingyun Sect, Qingquan Peak, in the General Affairs Hall.
Lin Chen walked in an aisle, and after making several turns, finally entered a room.
This is the place where he last received chores from the medicine garden, and it is also the place where capable and well-connected disciples take over.
However, Lin Chen came here this time not to take over work, but to collect intelligence.
As far as he knew, whenever a disciple returns from a mission, he must hand over the corresponding mission credentials and regional information related to the mission.
The relevant departments of Qingyun Sect will collect and organize this information into intelligence, and then have a basic understanding and control of the forces below.
Lin Chen came here to find out information about the Lin family to determine the situation he would face next.
However, Lin Chen wasn't sure whether he was qualified to inquire about this information, so he came over to give it a try.
Even if it doesn't work, he has prepared other methods. After all, someone's position has room for maneuver.
'I remember the last time I came here, this uncle was reading a book, and I happened to be selling it recently. Maybe I can give him some gifts and see if I can get through the back door? Lin Chen walked quietly, but thoughtfully in his heart.
These days, giving gifts and doing things is not shabby.
'We're here...' Lin Chen looked up, checked the room, and walked in.
He approached the counter and was about to speak out when he was suddenly stunned.
Because the old man sitting on the counter has fair hair and a childlike face, and is energetic. He is wearing a green Taoist robe. He leans on the back of the chair, squinting his eyes. He holds up a cup of spiritual tea in his hand and gently blows away the white mist on it. There is quite a feeling. The appearance of a deputy immortal.
Um? !
Lin Chen was stunned and blinked suddenly.
'That's right, he is still the same person, why did he suddenly become so immortal? Is it a clothing problem, a hairstyle problem, or because I didn’t read during duty hours? '
If he was an old naughty boy with a wretched temperament before, he is now a wise man.
Is it a mistake? Or role-playing in the world of immortality? Lin Chen was a little confused.
"What's the matter with this person?" the old man said leisurely, allowing Lin Chen to immediately confirm his identity.
It's the uncle who was reading* during the last shift.
Lin Chen glanced at him suspiciously, thought for a while, and still didn't take out the book that he had prepared in the storage bag. After all, the other person looked like a fairy, so he couldn't just take it out and stuff it in, right?
"Disciple would like to inquire about the news about Jiangcheng, the Immortal City under our sect." Lin Chen said loudly.
"Oh?" When the old man heard this, he raised his eyelids and looked at Lin Chen. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Only Foundation Establishment monks and true disciples are qualified to inquire about information about the forces under our sect." The old man said sternly.
"This...disciple has something important to do. I wonder if the elder can be accommodating." Lin Chen said politely.
"This won't work. Rules are rules and can't be violated easily." The old man refused directly.
"This..." Lin Chen hesitated, and quickly took out a bag of spiritual stones from the storage bag and handed it over.
Although research consumed most of it, Lin Chen still had some spirit stones left for daily use, and Bai Lai spirit stones could still be taken out.
"What do you mean?! Is this this kind of person I am!" Seeing this scene, the old man opened his eyes angrily and scolded.
"Uncle Master misunderstood. I just picked this up at the door. I took it out now to ask if it belongs to Uncle Master?" Lin Chen replied quickly.
"I didn't drop anything outside, you'd better put it away, I won't do this!" Lin Chen didn't expect that the old man wouldn't admit it, but instead said with a puff of sleeves.
Um? ! Is my way of giving gifts wrong?
Lin Chen was stunned. Could it be that the other party was really so upright and that this path would not work?
But no matter, he has a second plan!
"Yes, yes, maybe I made a mistake. I'll go back and look for the owner." Lin Chen nodded quickly, then reached for the bag of spiritual stones.
It seemed that there was some force, and with a pull, the cloth bag fell apart, and the accumulated spiritual stones fell, along with a paper book.
The paper book fell with a clatter, and the cover was lifted for some unknown reason, revealing a lifelike portrait.
Snow-white peaks, red plum trees standing proudly...
Um? ! The old man's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused.
"Uncle Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my disciple was clumsy and disturbed Uncle Master. I'll take care of it right away." Lin Chen nodded quickly to apologize, then knelt down to clean up the matter.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Chen did not take the lead in picking up the books that were so close at hand. Instead, he went to pick up the scattered spiritual stones in the distance.
His movements were undulating, causing waves of breeze to blow up the pages of the book, revealing a small section of the next page.
In the mist of the hot spring, a gentle tap creates ripples in circles, and further up, there is...
As soon as Lin Chen stopped moving, the wind stopped, and the lifted pages fell down and were no longer visible.
"Oh, there is also this book." Lin Chen seemed to have just noticed it and suddenly realized.
Then, he moved towards the book slowly and quickly.
Getting closer and closer...
'Ten, nine, eight, seven...' Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.
"Ahem!"
'one! 'Just when Lin Chen touched the book, a cough suddenly came from his ears.
Lin Chen quickly retracted his hand, stood up and said respectfully: "I wonder what Uncle Master has to do?"
The old man said with a serious face: "I remember that you, boy, seemed to have won second place in the outer sect competition. Now you have become an inner sect disciple?"
"Yes, this disciple luckily broke through some time ago and became an inner disciple." Lin Chen replied.
"Is that so..." the old man thought for a moment, "At your age, with your talent and strength, it must not be difficult to become a true disciple. In that case, whatever you want to see, I'll get it for you!"
"Thank you, uncle!" Lin Chen replied with joy.
Whether intentionally or not, both of them ignored the books on the ground.
Soon, the old man sorted out the information he wanted, took out a green leaf that shone with azure light, and handed it over.
Lin Chen took the spirit leaf and placed it between his eyebrows. His eyes suddenly changed. Countless text messages appeared in the air one after another. This was the intelligence collected by the Qingyun Sect on the forces under its command!
'Jiang Cheng, Lin Family...' The thought just popped up in my mind, and a large part of the information in front of me disappeared. The rest was information about Jiang Cheng, Lin Family, and surrounding instances related to it.
'The time has come for the family's foundation-building monks, and they are unable to succeed. They are suppressed by the other two families. The information is exactly the same as the information given by the Lin family. There seems to be no problem... Am I too worried? Lin Chen frowned slightly.
He observed carefully and found that there was no problem. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to remove the spiritual leaves stuck between their eyebrows.
Um? !
But just when he touched the spiritual leaf on his brow, he inadvertently looked at the previous records, and suddenly he was stunned and noticed something strange.
