Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Lin Chen was also quite interested in this matter and didn't want to talk more about cultivation, lest Mo Wan'er feel saddened.

Li Ping saw that Lin Chen was unaware, so he began to explain:

"It's like this, Brother Lin Chen, do you know about the Five Great Ones in the outer sect?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, as he truly didn't know:

"Brother Li Ping, I really don't know about this!"

Li Ping was a bit surprised after hearing Lin Chen's words:

"Brother Lin Chen, you really don't know, it seems you've been truly diligent in your cultivation, to the point of not knowing even this news!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly; since entering the sect, he had always been practicing rapidly, leaving little time to learn about other trivial matters.

"Haha, I really don't know, please explain a bit for me, Brother Li Ping."

Li Ping didn't keep him in suspense, organized his words, and then slowly said:

"Brother Lin Chen, you should know that our Sky Sword Pavilion divides its disciples into inner and outer sects, and among the outer sect disciples, the five strongest people are the Five Great Ones of the outer sect!"

"These five are Gut-wrenching Sword Qian Jin, Little Witch Wu Yaohan, Black Bear Mu Zhan, Heartless Blade Wu Lang, and Ice Fairy Chu Hanrou. These five are the top existence in the outer sect, no disciple dares to provoke them, and their cultivation level has reached the ninth level of Divine Sense, even just one step away from being a deity!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyebrows also slowly furrowed.

The ninth level of Divine Sense or even higher, such cultivation even Lin Chen is confident, but not arrogant enough to believe he can defeat opponents several levels above him.

Li Ping continued:

"And the reason so many people have gathered here today is because these five, usually rivals, want to complete a high-level task together! The fact that the Five Great Ones of the outer sect take on a task together shows how high-level this task must be."

Lin Chen nodded; he also took on tasks himself, and knows how challenging it can be. These five people are the strongest in the outer sect, yet they need to join forces to accept a task, which indicates the level of difficulty, absolutely not something Lin Chen can take on now.

Lin Chen looked up at the five people, seeing that the aura they unintentionally exuded caused those around them to give way, forming a circle, making it easy for Lin Chen to see them.

Qian Jin and Wu Lang both carried swords, with an imposing sharpness like unsheathed weapons, while Wu Yaohan had a mischievous look on her face; those unaware of her strength would find it hard to associate her with being one of the strongest in the outer sect. Black Bear Mu Zhan, true to his nickname, was a very robust and dark-skinned man, with a very sturdy build, muscles full of explosive power. Lastly, Ice Fairy Chu Hanrou appeared the most low-key, so much so that Lin Chen couldn't perceive her specific cultivation level, as if she was enveloped in mist.

While Lin Chen was observing Ice Fairy Chu Hanrou, Chu Hanrou seemed to sense something and suddenly glanced towards Lin Chen, causing him to quickly avert his gaze.

"Such rapid reaction time, her Divine Sense is also very strong, must have high soul power!"

Lin Chen once again confirmed in his heart that these five people are very strong, but this did not discourage him; instead, it stirred a sense of fighting spirit:

"Ninth level of Divine Sense, right? The strongest in the outer sect, right? I will surpass all of you someday!"

Before long, the five people in the crowd seemed to accept their task, then left together, and with their departure, half of the people in the affairs pavilion also cleared out instantly.

Li Ping smiled slightly at Lin Chen and said:

"Brother Lin Chen, now that there aren't many people here, what are you planning to do?"

Lin Chen had a good impression of Li Ping, so he said directly:

"I plan to take on a task, are you interested in joining me?"

As he spoke, Lin Chen looked towards the two of them, Li Ping and Mo Wan'er exchanged a glance, then said:

"We'd rather not hold Brother Lin Chen back, our current strength doesn't allow us to take any good tasks, so we plan to wait until our strength improves before taking on tasks later."

Lin Chen glanced at Mo Wan'er, knowing Li Ping was probably waiting for her, but he didn't mention it; he had plenty of secrets himself, which would make tasks inconvenient, so he said no more.

"Alright, in that case, let's part ways for now. When I return, I'll treat you both to drinks!"

"Hahaha, sounds good, we wish you all the best on your journey, Brother Lin Chen!"

"Thanks for the kind words!"

Lin Chen clasped his hands to the two of them, then turned towards the direction of the affairs pavilion, heading straight to the place where tasks are assigned, carefully selecting from the tokens covering the wall.

"Ordinary task, slay three Blackwind Wolves, task reward: two divine crystals, twenty contribution value. Three days to complete."

"Intermediate task, escort a shipment, requires strength of at least level four in Divine Sense, reward: eight divine crystals, eighty contribution value, half a month to complete."

...

"Intermediate task, slay a Blue-scaled Python and acquire one Blue-scaled Fruit, requires strength of at least level four in Divine Sense, reward: eight divine crystals, eighty contribution value, ten days to complete."

Upon seeing this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

Lin Chen knew about the Blue-scaled Python somewhat, its strength was decent, around level four in Divine Sense; though a strong enemy for Lin Chen now, it wasn't unbeatable, and with enough preparation, he was fairly confident in success.

But the strength of the Blue-scaled Python wasn't the main reason Lin Chen was tempted by this task; it was mainly for the Blue-scaled Fruit!

The Blue-scaled Fruit is considered a lower-tier celestial treasure, although this low-tier is only judged in the divine realm, as it would be a top-tier treasure in the lower realms!

The benefits of the Blue-scaled Fruit for martial artists at the Divine Sense level can be substantial!

Martial artists at the Divine Sense level are among the lower echelons in the divine realm, and the role of the Blue-scaled Fruit is to boost cultivation, accelerate training speed, strengthen the foundation, and enhance the talent for cultivation—while not overwhelmingly effective, it is indeed beneficial for Lin Chen now, helping him rapidly enhance his cultivation level and allowing him to establish himself in the divine realm sooner, in search of lost comrades.
