Chapter 68 Prepare for a Rainy Day

A few days later, Lin Chen successfully arrived outside Jiangcheng.

However, he did not enter the city, but watched from the hillside west of the city.

"Through the experiment, I have successfully atomized the true qi in my body. Now in the Qi Refining Stage, unless it is a genius cultivator with a spirit body or who has practiced some peerless skills, there is no one in the same stage who can be my opponent."

"So for me, the biggest threat and the variable that is most likely to cause the action to fail during this trip to Jiangcheng is the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator!"

During this trip to Jiangcheng, Lin Chen will inevitably face a force with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, so he must be prepared.

"Based on my existing means, there are about four plans to implement against Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. One is to avoid contact as much as possible, the second is to divert the trouble to the east, trigger a chaos, and take the opportunity to escape, the third is to prepare the means to kill them, and the fourth is to retreat with the help of [Che Ma Zhi]."

Lin Chen thought about it and decided to prepare these four plans at the same time, just in case.

The first two methods need to be flexible according to the situation on the spot, and the last method can be used at any time, so Lin Chen only needs to prepare a method to trap and kill the foundation-building cultivator.

"But in this world, cross-level challenges are really not a simple matter..." Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

Many people think that as long as there are second-level spiritual talismans, second-level spiritual weapons, etc., they can hurt the foundation-building cultivators, or even kill them. Lin Chen can only say two words for this:

Naive.

They are not fools, how could they stand and let you fight?

Some people say that they can attack by surprise, but they ignore a very critical issue, that is-reaction.

The difference between cultivators of different realms is the essence of life.

Cross-level challenges, not to mention that the souls of foundation-building cultivators are far superior to those of Qi-refining cultivators, nor their terrifying spiritual perception of "the cicadas know before the autumn wind moves", and then remove the difference in the quality of spiritual energy in their bodies, the advantages of strength and speed, the difference in reaction alone is enough for them to slaughter any cultivator whose realm is lower than theirs.

The reaction speed of the foundation-building monks is far superior to that of the Qi-refining monks.

Within a hundred meters, even if the Qi-refining monks have more second-level spiritual talismans or even third-level spiritual talismans in their storage bags, they may be killed by the foundation-building monks before they can activate them.

Beyond a hundred meters, even if you attack from a distance, the foundation-building monks may not be able to stop you from using spiritual talismans and other means, but once you activate the means, you will be sensed by their spiritual senses and leave the attack range in time, or find their weak points to break through.

Therefore, the Qi-refining monks may be able to escape from the hands of the foundation-building monks, or barely fight.

But it is almost impossible to kill a foundation-building monk unless the other party is seriously injured like his out-of-control experimental subject.

"Although the quality of my true qi is not as good as that of the foundation-building cultivators, I can still hold them back."

"I also have spiritual perception, which can interfere with their foresight of danger and resist soul attacks. As for the difference in speed and strength, I can avoid it by being far enough away, but the reaction speed..."

With [Che Ma Zhi] and improved tricks, his speed is enough to compete with the foundation-building cultivators, but the problem of reaction speed also troubles Lin Chen.

"So the best way is to set a trap that can kill the foundation-building cultivators." Lin Chen murmured.

But the question is, what kind of trap should be set?

Formation?

Let's not talk about whether he can set up a second-level formation. Even if he really succeeds, the time he takes to activate the formation is enough for the foundation-building cultivator to escape from the formation range.

Talisman?

With the opponent's reaction speed, it is really hard to say whether he can hit it.

"So, if you want to trap the opponent, you either have extremely strong control means or a large enough attack range so that even if you react, you can't escape."

"For the former, I don't have a strong control means for the time being, but I can try to start with physiological nausea."

"For the latter, even if I gather all the talismans and expand the attack range, it is not enough to kill.

Because the foundation-building monks can quickly avoid the center of the explosion, the remaining fire attacks will not have much effect on them, so other means must be used."

"But with the existing means, what kind of attack has a wide range, great power, and high damage?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

His eyes wandered, thinking constantly.

"If you want to set a trap, you must adapt to local conditions, but there are mountains nearby, what...wait, mountains, volcanoes, volcanic eruptions?"

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

If you use mountains as traps to fight against foundation-building monks flying in the air, then traps made by simulating volcanic eruptions are the best way to deal with them!

Wide range, great power, and high damage!

Of course, this does not mean that he wants to trigger a volcanic eruption to destroy the enemy. After all, with Lin Chen's strength, he cannot affect the movement of the earth's crust at all, but simulate the process of a volcanic eruption.

The principle of volcanic eruption is that the magma and gas under the earth's crust accumulate over a period of time under high temperature and high pressure. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the magma and gas will suddenly erupt, forming a volcanic eruption.

If the influence of factors such as the earth's crust is discarded, its essence is a process of material eruption.

And there are about three conditions required for material eruption.

The first is the material basis, that is, the material that is ejected; the second is the eruption channel; the third is the eruption power, that is, the energy that can cause the material to erupt from the surface.

Magma is not so easy to form, and Lin Chen has no way to make something as high-temperature as the core of the earth, but he can replace the magma with a material that also has high heat but cools down slowly.

Then plan the ejection channel, use the explosion of the talisman to provide power, and you can simulate the process of volcanic eruption to a certain extent!

Lin Chen's eyes flickered, and then his figure flashed and disappeared directly among the mountains.

Seven days later, a flat-topped hill, Lin Chen's figure appeared on it.

"I have completed several experiments simulating volcanic eruptions through experiments in the past few days, proving the feasibility of its implementation, so use this as a trap!"

Lin Chen thought of this and looked at the hill under his feet.

There are naturally formed holes in the mountain that can be used to store ejected materials.

He can create an ejection channel through planning.

And it can also temporarily close the channel to form a confined space. When the pressure in the body is large enough, the material can break through its weak point and form an eruption.

As for the power, Lin Chen opened up another layer of space under the hole, arranged the formation, and buried thousands of talismans. Once activated, it was enough to form power.

"The channel and power are both there, and the next is the material!"

"The melting point of magma is too high, and it requires the core to continuously provide heat. I can't do it, so I can only replace it!"

"It just so happened that when I was researching gunpowder, I accidentally developed a kind of black oil with good heat storage effect."

"Its temperature can be heated to thousands of degrees, and the cooling time is as long as seven days or more, and even longer in a special closed space. During the operation, it is enough to replace the role of magma!"

In the underground space, Lin Chen ignited a large amount of fuel, and the temperature of the black oil underneath continued to rise, slowly changing from black to dark red.

Once heated, it will become a liquid with a temperature of thousands of degrees. If it explodes, the monks who are sprayed directly will suffer terrible damage!

This is different from avoiding the center during the explosion to reduce the damage. As long as you are sprayed, even at the edge, it is equivalent to traveling in the magma!

Lin Chen really didn't believe that any foundation-building cultivator could be safe and sound in it!

"Of course, there are still various problems, how to make the other party not alert, and how to ensure my own safety..." Lin Chen's plan was constantly improving in his mind, "This needs to be solved one by one."

Soon, there was another round of planning and busyness.

Finally, when there were still a few days before the Jiangcheng competition, Lin Chen completed the arrangement, and finally returned to his hometown after ten years at dusk!
