CHAPTER 1160: CHAPTER 1160: BUY SOME ELIXIRS! WHY DON’T YOU JUST ROB INSTEAD

Mu Qinghe and Gu Yong’an saw that Lin Chen was effortlessly dealing with those skeletal monsters ahead. He didn’t seem to be running out of strength at all.

On the other hand, they themselves hadn’t recovered much Spiritual Power yet, only about sixty to seventy percent.

However, when it came to Lin Chen’s words, Mu Qinghe and the others dared not disobey.

After all, Lin Chen had indeed been fighting those skeletal monsters alone for quite a while, and had led them into the depths of this secret realm’s passage.

The crowd also realized that these ancient ruins were indeed peculiar; every time they passed through a passage, the stone chamber behind them would automatically close, making them feel as if they were being manipulated by the owner of these ancient ruins, driving them towards the depths of the passage.

Due to this, everyone was very curious about what exactly awaited them in the deepest part of these ancient ruins.

With Lin Chen’s call, Mu Qinghe and Gu Yong’an could only brace themselves and step forward to prepare to take over from Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen had already severely injured the three skeletal monsters in front of him and was about to kill them.

When Mu Qinghe and Gu Yong’an arrived beside him, he didn’t retreat immediately but instead unleashed the fierce power of thunder and lightning on his Sharp Sword once again.

With that, Lin Chen dashed into the group of three skeletal monsters, using a thunderous approach to kill the three monsters.

The reason Lin Chen did this was that one of the monsters was wielding a Seventh Rank Magic Treasure.

Therefore, the monsters that Lin Chen had fought hard to kill were naturally not going to be handed over to Mu Qinghe and Gu Yong’an for nothing.

After exterminating those three skeletal monsters, Lin Chen swiftly collected the Seventh Rank Magic Treasure, and then looked towards the newly approaching two skeletal monsters.

"You take care of these new monsters; I’ll come to relieve you once I’m fully recovered."

Lin Chen said to the two, then swiftly retreated to the back, sat down cross-legged, and consumed an elixir to recover his Spiritual Power.

Mu Qinghe and Gu Yong’an wore expressions of iron, glaring fiercely at Lin Chen, furiously uneasy inside.

They initially thought that since Lin Chen had been deadlocked with these three skeletal monsters for so long, he must have little strength left, so it would only take a slight effort from them to kill them.

Who would have expected Lin Chen to pull such a move, expending all his strength swiftly to kill the injured skeletal monsters and leaving the newly appeared ones for them to handle?

In fact, aside from possessing the Primordial Transformation Art and being able to refine elixirs faster than everyone else, there was another reason Lin Chen could hold out against those skeletal monsters for so long: the elixirs he consumed were different from the ordinary ones everyone else was using.

The elixirs Lin Chen consumed were developed by Zhao Rushi, based on ancient elixirs brought back from the Void Continent.

This allowed Lin Chen to reach a level different from everyone else.

Gu Yong’an, Mu Qinghe, Yang Minghui, and even Su Yun couldn’t help but covet when they saw Lin Chen collect a Seventh Rank Magic Treasure.

Of all the skeletal monsters they encountered, nearly twenty in total, only the ones initially killed by everyone together and the ones just now killed by Lin Chen held a Seventh Rank Magic Treasure.

One was stolen by Heng Sanjin, who then vanished without a trace.

The other one was now in Lin Chen’s possession.

As for the other skeletal monsters, although they had been Creation Realm Experts in life, they mostly wielded Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts, or, in some cases, only Fifth Rank Magic Artifacts.

After another round of battle, Gu Yong’an and Mu Qinghe finally managed to hold back the two skeletal monsters after much effort. But now, their Spiritual Power was nearly exhausted.

They had initially hoped to kill these two skeletal monsters in front of them and snatch their Magic Artifacts, just like Lin Chen.

Although they were only Sixth and Fifth Rank Artifacts, they were still quite valuable.

But now, they couldn’t kill them at all, so it seemed they had no choice but to switch with Lin Chen.

"I’ve recovered; you guys hurry up and recover. Once I kill the monsters, and we reach the stone chamber up ahead, you can replace me as the situation requires."

Lin Chen said with a smile, looking at everyone.

Among the martial artists, Lin Chen only cared about the attitudes of Mu Qinghe, Yang Minghui, and Gu Yong’an. He didn’t take the others seriously at all.

After all, the martial artists of the Mu Family and Xindi Water City were led by Mu Qinghe and Gu Yong’an, respectively.

"Brother Lin Chen, do you have more of those elixirs you’re using? Can you exchange or sell some to us?"

Gu Yong’an and Mu Qinghe looked at Lin Chen, feeling unhappy inside, knowing that Lin Chen would probably take down the two skeletal monsters in front of him next. By then, the Magic Artifacts in their hands would also belong to Lin Chen.

They had all realized by now that the reason Lin Chen could recover his Spiritual Power so quickly was due to the different elixirs he was using compared to everyone else.

Hence, Gu Yong’an and Mu Qinghe wanted to exchange some elixirs with Lin Chen.

If they could get their hands on the same elixirs as Lin Chen, they would be able to recover their Spiritual Power faster, be in better condition, and kill the skeletal monsters more quickly during battles.

This way, they wouldn’t be tricked or deceived by Lin Chen or have to let Lin Chen take the Magic Treasures that were almost in their hands.

"Which elixirs I’m using?"

"Of course, I have them, ten Spirit Crystals each."

Lin Chen smiled slightly at Mu Qinghe, Gu Yong’an, and the others.

Their faces turned iron immediately upon hearing this.

"How is this different from robbery? What kind of elixir costs ten Spirit Crystals apiece?"

Gu Yong’an and Mu Qinghe said angrily.

Lin Chen was really gouging them, knowing that the value of one Spirit Crystal in the outside world was enough to buy several bottles of Peak Fifth-Rank Elixirs.

Lin Chen had directly raised the price dozens of times, nearly a hundred times.

What Lin Chen was doing now was blatantly taking advantage of the situation.

"Oh, if you don’t want to buy, then forget it. How can you disparage my elixirs?"

"My elixirs, both in quality and potency, are different from others. You acknowledge that they restore Spiritual Power faster than others, so they’re naturally worth this price. If you think it’s expensive, just don’t buy them. I’m not forcing you to buy."

Lin Chen said calmly, looking at the two.

The two were silent for a moment after hearing this.

Despite being expensive at ten Spirit Crystals each, they had snatched several thousand Spirit Crystals from outside earlier, so they weren’t worried about being stingy now.
