"Senior, is this for ?"
Amidst his joy, Lu Chen didn’t forget the relationship he had with Lin Miaoyin.
"Of course, it’s for you," Lin Miaoyin said faintly. "I have consud quite a bit of my Spiritual Power and need to stay here to recover. Go ahead and browse through it. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask ."
Lu Chen was delighted. Having guidance from soone at the Nascent Soul Stage would surely be far more effective than fumbling around on his own.
But the mont he flipped open the first page and saw the words written there, his heart skipped a beat!
This was Lin Miaoyin’s test!
It might be unintentional.
But it might also be deliberate!
Lu Chen was well aware that in Lin Miaoyin’s eyes, he was Yu Zhibai!
And how could Yu Zhibai possibly refine Earth Fire?
If he were to imrse himself in cultivating the "Heavenly Immortal Fire," he feared that he might expose himself!
Imdiately, he closed the book again and said earnestly, "Senior, perhaps I should act as your protector instead. I don’t even know if my Earth Fire has been refined away by my Ice Spiritual Power yet!"
"Is that so? That’s quite mysterious. I haven’t heard of such a thing. But I don’t cultivate that sort of thing either, so you’ll have to decide for yourself," Lin Miaoyin said, her face showing no particular expression. After speaking, she took out a spiritual dicine and popped it into her mouth.
Lu Chen glanced at the "Heavenly Immortal Fire," then shoved the cultivation technique into his bosom before turning his attention to Huo Danzi’s ring, which Lin Miaoyin claid she had wiped clean of the forr owner’s Spiritual Sense. Unsure whether to believe her, Lu Chen cautiously tried to send his own Spiritual Sense inside.
This ti, he encountered no resistance and saw an array of precious treasures filling the ring.
Compared to the items he had previously obtained from Li Yan, these were more nurous and more valuable.
That was to be expected. Huo Danzi was a Nascent Soul Stage Alchemist, whereas Li Yan was not skilled in this area. The difference was natural.
The space inside the ring was about the size of a small room. Just in terms of quantity, Li Yan was no match. Lu Chen swept his gaze over the trove and saw another book.
Stirred by curiosity, the book imdiately fell into his hands. As he had suspected, it was a collection of alchemy recipes from the Extre Dan Sect!
Lu Chen was overjoyed.
He had obtained a Pill Furnace from a Foundation Establishnt cultivator at the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, which had exploded.
He got hold of a manual on Alchemy Technique, but it contained no recipes. The pills he was able to concoct afterward were all results of his own groping attempts without using Resentful Heaven Blood from the "Resentful Heaven Pill Technique."
Resentful Heaven Blood was overbearing and a main ingredient. If he were to extract it solely for the purpose of alchemy, it would be a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Therefore, Lu Chen could only purify the dicinal power of the Spiritual dicine and condense it into pills.
They could hardly be called genuine pills. If the herbs hadn’t been old enough, Lu Chen feared he would have faced more failures than successes.
But now, with the recipe collection, and one that ca from a top-tier sect at that, it was indeed a big gain.
"Once I deal with Lin Miaoyin, I can continue pill concoction until the secret realm sends us out!" Lu Chen thought to himself as he continued looking through the ring.
With recipes, there must also be a Pill Furnace!
Lu Chen held his breath and scanned again.
Indeed, in the corner of the ring, he found an antique Pill Furnace!
It was completely different from any Pill Furnace Lu Chen had seen before!
Including the Pill Furnace of Gui Zhuo, the sixth elder of the Casting Gear Pavilion!
He subconsciously wanted to take it out and give it a try, but imdiately suppressed the thought.
Alchemy requires fire.
And in her eyes, he was of an Ice Spiritual Root, which would again give him away!
Lin Miaoyin’s tests were everywhere!
Lu Chen steadied his mind, controlling his impulses.
"Mundane riches tempt the heart. I almost died by the hands of the Lu Family and Xu Yueru over a re pair of dead eyes!"
"Isn’t the Cultivation World the sa? Murder for treasure... Heh heh heh!"
Lu Chen chuckled at himself.
This ring had also stirred up greed in his heart.
Fortunately, his state of mind was strong enough to suppress it.
Recollecting his thoughts and withdrawing his Spiritual Sense from the ring, he put the ring back on his finger and took up the Bingji Fan to act as protector for Lin Miaoyin.
He still had to perform. Before his Ice-Strange Fire was restored, he couldn’t afford to reveal any slip-ups!
And once the Ice-Strange Fire was restored,
It would be ti for him to make a move on Lin Miaoyin!
"This kid, where on earth did that Earth Fire go?" Lin Miaoyin was also uncertain about Lu Chen. She seed to be refining dicinal power to replenish her Spiritual Power, but in fact, she was also keeping an eye on Lu Chen’s every move.
After all, if danger arose again, she wouldn’t have the luxury of testing Lu Chen.
Just then, a faint tremor suddenly passed through the ground.
Both Lu Chen and Lin Miaoyin were taken aback.
Following that, a barely perceptible whiff of Demon Qi began to drift in from the horizon!
Lu Chen’s heart tightened.
"Ancient demonic beasts!"
