Chapter 657: Chapter 657: A Magic Artifact Qin Yaotiao Can Use?

"You... killed a Nascent Soul Stage?"

The expressions of the four were incredibly vivid.

Lu Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "I almost died. It was just good luck that I made it back to tell you all. The secret realm is very likely to be infiltrated by many at the Nascent Soul Stage. For now, we should stay put."

Upon hearing this, their expressions once again grew tense. Lu Chen took out the Ice Spirit Pearl and handed it to Li Yanran, asking, "Junior Sister Li, have you ever encountered a situation where a Spiritual Pearl was damaged?"

If it weren’t for Lu Chen’s prior mention of his near-death experience, seeing the Ice Spirit Pearl in such a state now, he would definitely not have believed it.

Li Yanran took the Spiritual Pearl and looked at it carefully before saying, "Senior Brother Lu, your Ice Spirit Pearl is merely exhausted. If you place it within your body and nourish it with Ice Spiritual Power, it should be able to recover. However, the time it will take..."

Lu Chen was both shocked and overjoyed.

But he was not like ordinary people.

After all, he couldn’t constantly use Ice Spiritual Power in his Dantian, could he?

It would still depend on the situation.

"Then... may I nourish it later?"

As soon as this question was raised, Li Yanran also thought of the implications. After pondering for a moment, she said, "It’s not impossible, but Senior Brother Lu, you should still occasionally nourish it with your lifeblood, lest the last bit of Spiritual Energy in the Ice Spirit Pearl is severed. At that time, it would really become a useless pearl!"

Lu Chen nodded and placed the Ice Spirit Pearl into his mouth. He then took out the storage ring and said, "That should be the Nascent Soul Stage member of the Li Fire Sect. If there’s anything inside that can aid in your cultivation, feel free to take it."

It wasn’t that he was generous.

Rather, it was because danger lurked everywhere outside, and they needed to enhance their strength as much as possible, and then naturally he would help them leave after the secret realm concluded.

"This..."

The others hesitated to take anything, and Li Yanran even said, "Senior Brother Lu, these are the treasures you fought for with your life. How could we..."

"What are you talking about," Lu Chen said with feigned anger, "The stronger you all are, the better our chances of surviving! Don’t be polite, just take it!"

Having said that, he used the method to control a storage bag with Imperial Command, sending his consciousness into it. But the next moment, his body shook, and he fell backward!

Li Yanran’s face changed, and she quickly activated her Wood Spirit Power, transferring the pure Wood Spirit Power over to him.

It was only after a long while, when the Wood Spirit Power had completely enveloped Lu Chen, that he gradually regained his senses.

"Senior Brother Lu, didn’t you bond with the ring using your blood?"

She asked with a smile. Danyang Zi was also at the Nascent Soul Stage and owned a ring, so she knew that storage rings were indeed fundamentally different from storage bags as magic artifacts.

"This needs to be bonded with blood?"

Lu Chen’s face was pale and filled with bitterness.

"Yes," Li Yanran sighed and simultaneously felt nervous for Lu Chen. It was fortunate that Lu Chen had chosen to discuss with them, or he might have just died a moment ago.

Her quick reaction, combined with the Wood Spiritual Bead and the pure Vitality Force, had saved his life.

Lu Chen was internally frustrated and had gained a new understanding of the Nascent Soul Stage magic artifacts. In the future, he had to be careful not to use things he came across recklessly.

Biting his fingertip and forcing out a drop of blood, he let it fall onto the ring. Then a mysterious sensation filled Lu Chen’s mind.

Simply by intending it, he could view everything within the ring clearly; it was much more convenient than a storage bag!

He didn’t scrutinize the contents but instead opened an aperture and poured out all the items inside.

Spiritual medicines, magic artifacts, cultivation techniques...

And there was even a cultivation book!

The "Li Fire Curse"!

"Take a look at this and see if you can cultivate it," Lu Chen said as he took the book and handed it to Mo Buwen, for they must have a Fire Spirit Root to have been accepted into the Heavenly Pill Pavilion as chores-folk.

"Thank you, Brother Lu Dao!" both said in unison. This was a cultivation technique from a premier sect!

Moreover, something like a spell cultivation book didn’t have too many requirements; as long as one possessed the corresponding Spirit Root, one could cultivate it!

Contrarily, a foundational spell might need a certain degree of compatibility.

"Don’t mention it," Lu Chen smiled and turned his attention to the other items.

"Senior Brother Lu, I don’t know much about spiritual medicines, but I can feel that they are quite aged."

"Also, these pills, I don’t understand them either. Take a look and see if there is anything that you can use."

"There are also some materials that I can’t use, so I’ll leave them to you, Senior Brother Lu," Li Yanran reviewed each item but didn’t take any of them.

Lu Chen knew what Li Yanran was thinking and sighed, "Junior Sister Li, you really shouldn’t have such reservations. These spiritual medicines... they might help you break through the Core Formation Stage!"

Saying that, Lu Chen retrieved several spiritual medicines that shimmered with a verdant luster as Spiritual Power flowed through them.

But at that moment, Qin Yaotiao suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Young Master, I think I sense a magic artifact here that I can use!"
