**[My Senior Brother Is Super Strong] Chapter 39**
"Reflect on this for me."
After Lin Tian finished teaching Lu Chen, he offered a few parting words and left.
Lin Tian departed feeling quite pleased with himself.
He felt relaxed and liberated, experiencing an extreme level of comfort—as if he had finally relieved himself after several days of constipation.
Lin Tian thought with pride. If he didn't take the opportunity to deal with this little brat now, it would be much more difficult to handle him once his strength caught up.
Lu Chen, covering his backside, felt hopeless.
When others saw him like this, they would assume Lin Tian had done something inappropriate.
"What a shame," Lu Chen finally sighed, looking up at the sky. "I'm so old, yet I got spanked."
Lin Tian was much stronger than him, and in front of the Nascent Soul Stage, Lu Chen had no power to resist.
"Thankfully, no one else saw it; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to show my face anywhere."
At that moment, the sound of birds chirping came from a nearby tree.
"Chicha!"
Lu Chen turned to look.
Xiao Hong covered its stomach with its left wing, pointed at Lu Chen with its right wing, and laughed.
Lu Chen shot a malevolent look at Xiao Hong. "Did you see everything?"
Xiao Hong laughed even harder.
It even twisted its backside toward Lu Chen twice in a taunting manner.
Lu Chen's anger flared. "Today, I can only kill, and I'll start with that bird!"
When Xiao Hong heard this, it immediately flew away.
Now with his rear in pain and his anger rising, Lu Chen had no choice but to capture Xiao Hong, subjecting it to his wrath before tossing it aside, leaving the bird feeling utterly defeated.
After dealing with the foolish bird, Lu Chen felt significantly better.
"Keep an eye on me here. If you dare tell anyone about what happened today, I'll shave all your feathers off."
Lu Chen threatened Xiao Hong fiercely before he returned to his room.
He first carefully checked the formations and restrictions outside.
At Lingxiao Peak, neither Lin Tian nor Ji Yan would intrude without cause.
But with a new junior sister around, he had to be more cautious.
Xiao Ye barged in carelessly yesterday, almost causing a major disaster.
Moreover, there were many visitors coming and going at Lingxiao Peak these days, leaving no guarantees that someone wouldn't break in.
After all, safety comes first.
After confirming that everything was secure, Lu Chen entered the Time Room.
He had named it the Time Room himself.
The space wasn't large and didn't contain many spiritual resources, yet Lu Chen always felt at ease here.
This was his secret and a trump card that allowed him to stay on track with his plans and not fall behind.
His talent was acceptable, yet it couldn't compare to that of Ji Yan.
Only by exchanging spirit stones for time could he keep pace.
Lu Chen took out the rectangular item he had obtained from Tang's Trading Company.
Examining it again, he initially found nothing unusual.
He placed it on the jade table, and soon things began to change.
Smoke started to billow from the rectangular object.
A sizzling sound filled the air as if it were melting.
Lu Chen was shocked. He had spent three thousand spirit stones on this, and he couldn't afford for it to just fizzle out before his eyes.
Otherwise, he felt he might vomit blood.
Lu Chen stepped closer, intently observing. After a moment, he noticed that the outer coating was indeed melting, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fine.
After about a quarter of an hour, the paste melted away, evaporating and revealing the true item within.
Lu Chen took a closer look and was a bit surprised. "Is this… a token?"
On the table lay a piece of jade, one foot long, round on the top, and wide at the bottom, resembling a token.
It was unnecessary to touch the jade to know that it was made of the same material as the jade table.
Lu Chen picked up the jade and examined it closely. On both sides of the front, he discovered a golden dragon and a divine phoenix carved into the surface.
Two words were also inscribed in the center.
Lu Chen didn't recognize the characters.
The back featured engravings of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and a starry sky, all very elegant.
Lu Chen studied it for a long time, fiddling with it, burning it, soaking it, and even trying to identify his ownership with blood.
There was no reaction from the jade in his hand.
Lu Chen glanced at the spiritual tablets on the table and asked, "What's the purpose of this? What is it?"
No response.
There were no written instructions on the jade table.
Lu Chen was left with no choice.
He realized that the jade in his hand must be something significant, but he had no way of knowing its use.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen decided to place it back on the jade table.
"Let it be for now; I'll figure it out later," he muttered.
Uncertain about the significance of the item, he decided to let it rest for now and see if anything would change in the future.
Then, with a wave of his hand, ten thousand low-grade spirit stones appeared and fell into the incense burner.
"I'll practice for another year and see if I can break through and enter the eighth level of the Golden Elixir stage."
However, the jade tablet displayed the words "six months."
"Six months?"
Lu Chen was taken aback and then filled with rage.
He angrily pointed at the token and shouted, "Damn it, don't cause me trouble."
"Do you think it's easy to earn spirit stones? Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for a year is already quite expensive."
"And now the time is halved?"
"Spit it out and refund the spirit stones. I won't practice anymore; please give me a refund immediately."
"If you don't refund my money, do you believe I won't smash your spiritual tablet?"
Lu Chen was fuming.
Hadn't earning these spirit stones been hard enough?
Did the table think they could just be picked up casually from the street?
Even if it had been ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for a whole year, Lu Chen would still feel like it was a loss.
Now, it had turned into six months!
Who could bear it?
At least Lu Chen couldn't.
He slammed the jade table and cursed at the spiritual tablet, "Refund my money! If you don't, I swear I'll smash you."
"If you want to increase the price, just tell me. We can negotiate."
"But you didn't let me know that you unilaterally increased your prices without my consent. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Is it easy for me to earn spirit stones from my hard work outside? Are you just sitting here as a professor for me?"
"If you don't refund my money, I will smash you today. No matter who you are, even if you are the Immortal Emperor of Heaven, I will crush you."
After Lu Chen finished speaking in fury, he was about to grab the spiritual tablets.
Suddenly, a white light flashed on the table, and Lu Chen looked down.
An exercise manual appeared above.
"Shocking God Technique!"
