Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Ice-Strange Fire, Tempering the Bing Ji Fan

Lu Chen did not know at the time that those men were from the North Dragon Sect.

Because from beginning to end, the methods they controlled had not a trace of the aura of ice power.

Had it not been for his Ice-Strange Fire, which caused them to scream in terror, Lu Chen would likely not have left a single survivor and thus would not have learned this information.

Now, the talismans he had obtained, whose symbols he could not recognize, nevertheless gave Lu Chen a sense of familiarity!

They were the same methods used for attack before, the Ten Thousand Paths of Spiritual Light!

It had to be said, these spiritual light attacks were extremely powerful, and Lu Chen was able to suppress the attacking beast using these spiritual powers.

If he handed over all these talismans to Mo Buwen and the others to use, it would be the equivalent of having two more helpers for himself!

Thus, Lu Chen emptied five storage bags, taking out all the talismans, and then he went to the side of those two people.

"These talismans are extremely powerful. If a beast attacks, they can be controlled at critical moments!"

After handing over some of the talismans, Lu Chen thought for a moment and also gave a few to Li Yanran, and after instructing her a few words, he returned and maintained a certain distance from Qin Yaotiao.

"The people from the North Dragon Sect also said that if you use the Ice-Strange Fire to temper the Ice-Jade Fan, you can also enhance the power of the Ice-Jade Fan. Ice Spiritual Power indeed has a suppressing effect on these beasts, and now is a good time for me to try tempering it!"

He needed to make the most of his time.

As soon as Lu Chen said it, he took action. He took out the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and also controlled the Earth Spirit Power to build a simple stove, which would be used as the refining furnace later.

After finishing, he placed the Ice-Jade Fan inside it.

Next, he took out the Art of Refinement given to him by Zhu Chongjiu and quickly flipped through it, then stood the Heavenly Inquiry Spear at one side, preparing to begin refining the artifact.

"Heavenly Inquiry, help me pay closer attention to the temperature during the process!"

Lu Chen instructed the Heavenly Inquiry Spear.

"Yes, master!"

Having received a response, Lu Chen then condensed the Ice-Strange Fire from the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and used the method of attracting fire to his body, using his body as a medium to throw the Ice-Strange Fire into the earthen stove!

Whoosh—

Inside the earthen furnace, the temperature suddenly dropped!

Yet, miraculously, the Ice-Jade Fan was also influenced by the flames!

Watching the spiritual power circulate and continually act upon the Ice-Jade Fan, Lu Chen was somewhat unable to comprehend the principle behind it.

Logically speaking, low temperature should influence everything within range.

Yet within this stove, it was as if there were ordinary fires burning.

"It seems that, should the opportunity arise, I should seek information about the Ice-Strange Fire; otherwise, possessing such a rare treasure without knowing how to use it is truly a waste of heaven’s gifts," Lu Chen muttered to himself, no longer pondering, fully focused on tempering the Ice-Jade Fan.

Tempering, rather than making, was still simple for Lu Chen.

He converted all the Chaos Spiritual Power in his body into Ice Spiritual Power, using it to maintain the strength of the Ice-Strange Fire.

After about the time it took an incense stick to burn, Lu Chen distinctly noticed that the Ice-Jade Fan had undergone a transformation.

If the original Ice-Jade Fan could not be distinguished from an ordinary fan-shaped magic artifact,

what he saw now was noticeably different: the fan’s ribs had turned into ice spikes, and the fan’s surface was also subtly transforming into thin ice.

"This is what a true Ice-Jade Fan looks like!"

Lu Chen began to imagine the Ice-Jade Fan after tempering, images forming in his mind.

Sensing the flames of the Ice-Strange Fire in the furnace becoming steadily stable, Lu Chen knew the temperature was about right.

Excitement was inevitable in Lu Chen’s heart; the Ice-Jade Fan had played a huge role during this period, and he was eager to see what kind of power a fully tempered Ice-Jade Fan would exhibit!

An increase in strength meant that their chances of survival in the forbidden land’s entrapment array had improved, and they had a better grasp of facing ancient beasts!

After some time, the Ice-Jade Fan finally took shape!

Lu Chen, overjoyed, withdrew the Ice-Strange Fire, and then took out the Ice-Jade Fan.

But as he was about to try it out, Li Yanran’s exclamation came from afar!

"Lu Chen, there’s a beast coming from underground!"

A beast...

From underground?

Lu Chen’s heart startled, and he hurriedly ran over!

Li Yanran had turned the area into greenland, with plants deeply rooted there; it was only natural that she detected the beast underground!

"Sister Li, you guys retreat first!"

With the Ice-Jade Fan in hand, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then put it away, instead gripping the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in his hand!

Unless he used ice-based spells, the Ice-Jade Fan would not be much use.

Lu Chen ran over frantically, standing by Li Yanran’s side, while Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing tightly clutched the spiritual light talismans in their hands, ready for battle.

Li Yanran also spoke, "About thirty feet underground, Lu Chen, what should we do?"

Lu Chen said gravely, "A beast... How many are there? If there’s only one, we should try to draw it out!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a violent tremor passed under Lu Chen’s feet!
