Chapter 4067: Chapter 4086: Breaking Through to Level 8

Based on what Lin Chen saw and his understanding of Zhang Zhongjiu’s character, he might be impressive in cultivation and getting things done, but when it comes to relationships, he’s clearly a weakling.

Although He Wei wasn’t tall and had a sweet appearance, her personality was mature, gentle and generous, with high emotional intelligence, perfectly handling someone like Zhang Zhongjiu, who’s a straightforward guy.

Of course, it’s not about doing something bad; a man like Zhang Zhongjiu, who’s like a silent gourd and straightforward, just needs a woman like He Wei.

Understands what you understand, does what you want to do, capable of both tolerance and control.

Zhang Zhogjiu’s face blushed as he set the table for He Wei, then moved the freshly added dish towards her.

He Wei didn’t wait for Zhang Zhongjiu to introduce her, and instead, graciously introduced herself: "He Wei, Zhong Jiu’s girlfriend, nice to meet you all."

Lin Chen smiled and introduced himself and the three women: "We met your boyfriend on Planet 49, and after more interaction, we became friends. We’re here this time to ask for his help."

He Wei glanced softly at Zhang Zhongjiu: "It seems this long visit to Planet 49 was fruitful. Previously, he wasn’t one to make friends, let alone introduce me to them."

Lin Chen took a look at the embarrassed Zhang Zhongjiu and said with a smile: "Life’s experiences lead to constant growth, nothing remains unchanged."

He Wei fixed her gaze on Lin Chen: "This time, Zhong Jiu was framed, and you helped clear his name, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

He Wei looked down, then reached out to pick up Zhang Zhongjiu’s wine glass: "Great kindness can’t be thanked in words, it’s remembered in the heart."

Zhang Zhongjiu stopped her: "You can’t drink; let me do it."

He Wei shook her head: "Even though we are lovers, we are one and the same, but they helped you, which means they helped me too. I must drink this cup of wine myself!"

He Wei drank the wine from the cup in one go, and a flush quickly appeared on her cheeks.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Miss He, there’s no need to be so formal, we’re all friends."

He Wei chuckled: "My Zhong Jiu is taciturn and straightforward. I’m curious how you met; was it a case of no acquaintance without a fight?"

Zhang Zhongjiu had a peculiar and somewhat embarrassed expression.

But Lin Chen remained composed, chuckling: "Sort of. We’re native residents of the Sea of Abandonment. Zhang Zhongjiu was responsible for purifying it, and we clashed. Later, we came to the Federation, and he helped us a lot. Eventually, we got to know each other well."

Zhang Zhongjiu breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Chen had said they were captured as slaves, Zhang Zhongjiu would have been even more embarrassed.

You caught people as slaves back then, yet now rely on them to prove your innocence, how ironic is that?

After the pleasantries, the people continued drinking, and Zhang Zhongjiu replaced He Wei’s drink with a non-alcoholic beverage.

Lin Chen didn’t comment on the couple’s relationship; once they met face-to-face, everything naturally fell into place.

Help others all the way, escort Buddha to the west.

Since they are in love, seeing how awkward Zhang Zhongjiu is, might as well give him a push.

After settling Zhang Zhongjiu’s matter, it was time for Lin Chen and his group’s own matters.

Within two days, Zhang Hanying called Lin Chen.

The good news was that the potion was ready.

The bad news was that future raw materials couldn’t be produced.

Lin Chen didn’t get angry; he inquired carefully: "Why can’t they be produced?"

Zhang Hanying replied: "Because of your intervention, Zhongjiu’s wrongful accusation case was overturned swiftly, and now that he’s received the potion he wanted, unexpectedly, he might return to Level 8 soon."

"His return to Level 8 makes Zhang’s main branch somewhat tense. Although I didn’t disclose your identities, they clearly regard this batch of potion as something to bolster Zhang Zhongjiu’s strength."

"I applied; they agreed because it was before the incident, so they couldn’t go back on their word. After all, they can’t openly target Zhongjiu, but when I mentioned the potential arrival of future materials, they rejected, giving some excuses, but I know they don’t want our side’s strength to swell."

"If a group of Level 8 martial artists gathered around Zhongjiu, even if they didn’t become Level 9 martial artists, it would pose a huge threat to them."

Lin Chen suddenly understood; they were scared of Zhang Zhongjiu’s potential power expansion, which could become a hassle.

"Never mind, we’ll discuss the rest later."

This matter couldn’t be rushed, and Lin Chen didn’t mention the previous assurance of getting things done, as the situation had changed, and the materials they provided were indeed quite considerable.

For the Zhang family, who controls the prescription, even if they gained half as a result, they had to consider the consequences of so many portions being distributed, especially since these potions would most likely end up with Zhang Zhongjiu or his friends. If all consumed, with good luck, several more Level 8 powerhouses might arise.

Zhang Hanying apologized earnestly: "It’s our failure to fulfill our promise. I will look into finding other opportunities for getting the remaining materials."

Lin Chen replied with a smile: "Alright, it’d be great if there’s an opportunity, but if not, we’ll think of another way; this batch of potions being real is what truly matters."

Zhang Hanying answered promptly: "I watched it being made personally, it’s definitely real."

"Alright, where shall we meet?"

Zhang Hanying responded: "Let’s meet at the Tea House where we met for the first time."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen, as agreed, went to the Tea House, and from Zhang Hanying, received four doses of Level 8 promotion potion.

The volume of the potion wasn’t large, only about ten milliliters, and using it was simple—injecting directly into the veins with a syringe.

Upon receiving the potion, Lin Chen and his group didn’t rush into closed-door cultivation; instead, they purchased materials to make more potions and eventually created a batch of Level 8 promotion potion following the Huang family’s prescription.

After preparing this batch of potion, Lin Chen and the group immediately disappeared from Planet 11, found a deserted planet, and released the cultivation cabin from Linglong Tower, readying themselves to advance.

The downside of using a promotion potion for leveling up is the low success rate, but the advantage is that even if it fails, it won’t harm the body or realm.

Lin Chen and the four others were all at the Seventh Level Peak, and since the potion made from the Huang family’s prescription was adequate, they all intended to start with the Huang family’s potion.

If they succeeded in advancing with the Huang family’s potion, wouldn’t the limited Zhang family potion be saved?

There was only one cultivation cabin, so the four decided to take turns.

After a brief discussion, Yao Xuanji entered the cultivation cabin first.

Injection of the potion, activation of the cultivation cabin’s energy began.

Yao Xuanji was quickly enveloped by a magnificent energy ball.

Lin Chen and the others waited outside the cultivation cabin, each feeling their spirits high with anticipation.

Will it succeed?
