CHAPTER 1610: CHAPTER 1609: THESE TREASURES ARE NOT MINE

That little Profound Turtle, back on the Tianliu Continent, managed to gather quite a few good things. However, it didn’t hand them directly to Lin Chen, but instead waited until it returned to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to secretly make a deal with it. That’s why the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron gives it special treatment.

As for Dragon Fang, although it knows a lot, it’s too arrogant. It doesn’t bother to get treasures like the little Profound Turtle to trade with the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron. Whenever it gets any treasures, it just thinks of refining them to restore its power, so naturally, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron favors the little Profound Turtle rather than it.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, the little Profound Turtle suddenly realized that Lin Chen had always been aware of what it thought was done secretly, but Lin Chen chose not to make a fuss about it.

Lin Chen looked at the treasures in front of him, calculating in his mind. Many of these treasures couldn’t be traded for spirit crystals because Lin Chen had his own significant use for them.

Moreover, when Lin Chen returned to the Jade Cauldron Sect, he took out a portion and gave it to his clone and Zhao Lingxi, hence there was less for him.

Now, aside from resources like the Fiery Fire Profound Armor and Flowing Light Magic Robe, Lin Chen had almost five billion worth of low-grade spirit crystals that he could use for exchange.

That’s not a small amount. Lin Chen calculated that if all these treasures were exchanged for six billion spirit crystals, it would just be enough to light up three more star maps.

The twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth star maps require 64 million, 128 million, and 256 million low-grade spirit crystals respectively, totaling 448 million.

If all these treasures were sold, they would be more than enough to light up three star maps. But lighting up the fifteenth star map requires 512 million low-grade spirit crystals, which is a large sum that Lin Chen can’t come up with at the moment.

After tallying up how many spirit crystals he could get from his current treasures, Lin Chen entered the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and had it transport him to that unfamiliar world to start refining his physique.

With Lin Chen lighting up eleven star maps now, he’s able to stay in that unfamiliar world for two hundred breaths. The pressure in that world no longer causes Lin Chen fatal harm, all because his physique has been enhanced.

After two hundred breaths, Lin Chen was pulled back from that unfamiliar world by the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Now, only an hour had passed, and Lin Chen’s injuries had completely healed.

Then Lin Chen exited the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron. As soon as he came out, the little Profound Turtle dashed into the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to train.

Lin Chen didn’t stop it, after all, the little guy used the treasures it found to trade with the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, and Lin Chen couldn’t really say much about it.

If he really forced the little Profound Turtle not to go in and train, it would appear Lin Chen was being unreasonable.

...

In a courtyard of the Yellow Hall, with Zi Tianyi’s awakening, their family was finally reunited after many years and immediately held a feast to celebrate.

Zi Tianyi listened as Zi Ling recounted her experiences over the past twenty years, with Xiao Chitai listening by the side.

Upon learning that the Yellow Hall was no longer what it used to be, Zi Tianyi felt somewhat saddened, as she had founded it herself.

"Tianyi, don’t worry, we women are very capable. Not only have we recovered a large amount of the Water of Life, but we’ve also brought back the Exotic Jade Pearl Gourd. With this exotic treasure, the chances of our Yellow Hall disciples breaking through the Creation Realm will greatly increase. We needn’t fear being inferior to the other three halls,"

Xiao Chitai said confidently to Zi Tianyi, summoning the Jade Gourd with a gesture.

From his words, it seemed he didn’t intend to return the Jade Gourd to Zi Ling at all.

Upon hearing Xiao Chitai’s words, Zi Ling immediately stood up and snatched the Jade Gourd from Xiao Chitai’s hand.

"Father, what nonsense are you saying? Who told you that the Jade Gourd and Water of Life was found by me?"

Zi Ling looked at Xiao Chitai, expressing dissatisfaction.

In the past, Zi Ling never called Xiao Chitai "Dad" or "Father," and always referred to him by his name. However, after Zi Tianyi awakened, although Zi Ling was unaware of Xiao Chitai’s actions over the years, Zi Tianyi was clear about them, so she asked Zi Ling to change her form of address, which Zi Ling obediently did.

Of course, the reason Zi Ling was willing to change her address was also because her mother had awakened, so her resentment toward Xiao Chitai wasn’t as deep.

"What, are you saying this Water of Life and Jade Gourd isn’t yours?"

Xiao Chitai was stunned by Zi Ling’s words. He always thought that the two treasures were found by Zi Ling, as after all, who would give away such treasures of the world after they had obtained them?

If that were the case, that person would be exceedingly generous.

"Of course it’s not mine, I don’t have such capabilities. Even those princes don’t have such capabilities, let alone me. The secret chamber containing the Water of Life is extremely dangerous; even if I risked my life, I couldn’t obtain the Water of Life,"

Zi Ling sighed and said.

"So dangerous... naturally places with such treasures of the world would be very dangerous."

"And these two treasures were indeed handed to you by someone else. Who on earth is so generous to give you both?"

Xiao Chitai’s expression became extremely serious, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

Because the Water of Life and Jade Gourd, even late-stage Creation Realm powerhouses would be moved by them, and who after obtaining them would hand them to someone else?

Even after racking his brains, Xiao Chitai couldn’t think of such a person being around Zi Ling.

Apart from him and her mother, probably no one else would do so.

After Zi Ling’s words, Zi Tianyi also looked at Zi Ling with a face full of doubt.

"The Water of Life and Jade Gourd were both given to me by Junior Brother Lin Chen, and it was also Junior Brother Lin Chen who saved my life. If it weren’t for him, I would probably have died in the stone chamber containing the Water of Life."

Zi Ling didn’t hide Lin Chen’s involvement because the two people in front of her were the closest to her, so she had no reservations.

Zi Ling also knew that Lin Chen didn’t want to reveal too much of his strength too soon to avoid being targeted.
