Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The Formation Stabilizes, Lu Chen Refines the Turtle Shell!

"It’s true,"

Li Qingyao took a deep breath and said, "If he can get that turtle shell, then... when you put it on again, maybe it can protect you from those bloodthirsty demon insects, and I can leave the abyss to find a way to break these chains!"

"But can he find us here? The Lu Family doesn’t know how to, and I don’t know if they will tell him that we are in this abyss!"

Lu Tianren was worried about that very thing since the Lu Family had sent them to the abyss claiming there were opportunities to find.

They did come and even found the opportunities, but unexpectedly, they got trapped here as well.

Even worse, they had no idea if the Lu Family meant to harm them!

"They should know, right?"

Li Qingyao suddenly became unsure herself.

"Let’s not worry about that now, you should focus on recovering first. If only I had known, I wouldn’t have let the girl leave the abyss!"

Lu Tianren sighed, and Li Qingyao felt somewhat guilty, blaming herself for not thinking far enough ahead, entirely because Qin Yaotiao had lost her virginity, which made her somewhat panic.

...

Within the Earth Element’s absence in the array.

Lu Chen hadn’t received any reminder from the spear spirit and hadn’t woken up, still contemplating the mysteries of Earth Spirit Power.

Earth Spirit Power is solid, this was his only concept of it. Using it for defense was fine, but the problem Lu Chen faced was that defense alone was ineffective.

"Within the same realm, I could probably be invincible. But if I encounter another Core Formation Stage, neither earth walls nor earth shields could withstand their attacks. Plus, they have Spiritual Sense, and even if I mastered the Heart’s Eye, I probably wouldn’t stand a chance!"

Being able to kill the Xuanji Sect Master was entirely due to the tree demon’s distraction, as well as the injuries Li Qingyao had inflicted on the enemy beforehand, allowing him an opportunity.

To put it simply, Lu Chen got incredibly lucky.

But Lu Chen never dared to hinge his hopes on luck.

If he encountered someone in Core Formation Stage again, he would be completely out of options.

"If only I could use all this Earth Spirit Power for attack."

Lu Chen took a deep sigh, slowly coming to his senses and opening his eyes. He was startled to see that the Spirit-communicating Grass within the sand pit had almost disappeared. The stout form of the little black beast was coiled at the bottom of the pit, clearly having consumed most of the grass and was now digesting the Spiritual Power within it.

"Master, Little Black says it doesn’t know how long it’ll take to digest so much Spirit-communicating Grass. So it wants me to tell you not to wait for it."

"Not to wait? When will it come to meet me then, and where will I be by that time?"

Lu Chen frowned. He didn’t want to part ways with Little Black.

Whether it was cultivating, finding Qin Yaotiao in the abyss, or later making his way in the Cultivation World, Little Black was a rare and valuable ally!

In the Five Elements array alone, Little Black saved him countless times!

"Master, it says that it can find you. You have the scent of its toxin sac, and as long as you’re not tens of thousands of miles away, it can track you down!"

"Is that even possible?"

Lu Chen was startled.

"That’s what it said; I’m not clear on the specifics either,"

the spear spirit responded helplessly, while the voice of the Pure Jade Vase echoed in his mind, "The Black Jiao indeed has such an ability, and with so much Spirit-communicating Grass, once Little Black reaches the Transformative Stage, it can definitely do it!"

Having the Pure Jade Vase speak, Lu Chen was overjoyed. Now that the Earth Element part of the array seemed to be in balance, he looked up into the sky and noticed that the Spiritual Energy of all five types had already reached a state of equilibrium.

This also meant that the array would likely not collapse again unless a powerful external force caused it to!

While Lu Chen didn’t understand arrays, after this observation, such a thought naturally emerged in his mind.

If that’s the case, then he will let Little Black cultivate well here and wait until it reaches the Transformative Stage...

His own strength would become even greater!

"Oh, Master, Little Black has taken out the turtle shell too. It says that if you temper it with Spiritual Fire to burn away the Demon Sense within it, you can safely use it,"

the spear spirit reminded again.

"The turtle shell? Where is it?"

Lu Chen looked around and finally spotted the palm-sized turtle shell under the shaft of the spear!

The surface, covered by the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, indeed had a faint trace of Demon Qi.

The Demon Qi was earthy yellow, barely distinguishable from the local Earth Spirit Energy.

"Let’s temper it then!"

Lu Chen picked up the turtle shell and placed it in his palm.

Instantly, a waft of Demon Qi surged out of the hole where the turtle head had been, assaulting Lu Chen’s forehead!

However, the Demon Qi was weak, and with the spear spirit’s earlier warning, Lu Chen didn’t consider it a threat at all.

"Hmph!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly and then raised his left hand, "Spiritual Fire!"

A tongue of fire blazed forth, and under Lu Chen’s control, it instantly enveloped the turtle shell!

The Demon Qi, too, was extinguished!
