Chapter 659: Chapter 659: In the Icy Ground!

Lu Chen quickly turned his head and looked towards Qin Yaotiao, only to see a crystal clear Jade Ruyi!

"What Magic Artifact is this?"

Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, it seemed to be only used for amplifying spells, but if it really had such an effect, it would be quite fitting for Qin Yaotiao.

"It is a type of Jade Ruyi, it’s just the material..."

Li Yanran paused, then said, "Yaotiao, may I take another look at it?"

Although she was not skilled in Artifact Refining, she had been immersed in the environment of the Casting Gear Pavilion and had some understanding of the materials used in Artifact Refining.

"Of course, you can, Sister Li, here it is."

Qin Yaotiao handed the Jade Ruyi back again.

Li Yanran took it and held it in the palm of her hand.

The Jade Ruyi was about the size of her palm. Lu Chen also looked over, quietly using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

In an instant, he saw endless Vitality Force circulating within the Jade Ruyi, and his heart could not help but speculate that it was likely related to when Qin Yaotiao used her Life Eye beads to form her Core.

However, isn’t Vitality Force related to Wood Spirit Power? Yet, there was not a trace of Wood Spirit Power to be felt in this Jade Ruyi.

Moreover, Li Yanran, being a cultivator with a single Wood Spirit Root, needed to take a second look.

"It might be," Li Yanran rubbed it for a while, then handed the Jade Ruyi back, saying, "Raw Jade."

"Raw Jade? What is that?"

Qin Yaotiao and Lu Chen exclaimed in unison.

The two exchanged a glance and then turned to Li Yanran, listening attentively.

Li Yanran said earnestly, "I have only heard about this material mentioned by the sect master, but in the past, it was only used as a decorative touch on Magic Artifacts. I have never heard of such a complete piece of Raw Jade being used to craft a Magic Artifact!"

"Maybe the Spiritual Artifact is different," Lu Chen blurted out.

Li Yanran burst into laughter, "Brother Lu, how can Spiritual Artifacts be so easily found? Every Spiritual Artifact is extremely rare, and even for someone at the Nascent Soul Stage, it would take at least from the Core Formation Stage to nurture a perfect one."

Lu Chen involuntarily rubbed his hands together, thinking to himself that it wasn’t very difficult, was it? As long as the Magic Artifact possessed a spirit, wouldn’t it become a Spiritual Artifact?

However, he did not voice this thought, since the Artifact Spirit in his own Heavenly Inquiry Spear was originally just an array spirit from an incomplete Five Elements array.

But on the other hand...

It seemed that none of the major arrays he encountered afterward had an array spirit!

Could it be that array spirits were also extremely rare?

If that was the case, where did the array spirit in the Five Elements array within Tianyuan come from?

Was it laid out by some powerful being from the Spirit World?

All along, Lu Chen had not deeply considered the Five Elements array.

But now, spurred by Li Yanran’s casual remark, he fell into deep thought.

"It is said that the entrance to the Spirit World is in Tianyuan, and Tianyuan has always been mysterious in the Eastern Domain. Even the top sects in the Eastern Domain impose restrictions on it... It seems Tianyuan is far more complicated than I imagined!"

With this thought in mind, Lu Chen was eager to return to Tianyuan!

But regardless of his thoughts, he still needed to find a way to extricate himself from the current predicament, step by step!

"Yaotiao, you study this Magic Artifact and see how to use it, I’ll continue with Alchemy."

Lu Chen nodded, withdrew his thoughts and then said to Yu Qingqing and Mo Buwen, "You two should also study the ’Li Fire Curse’. Having more techniques will make you safer."

"Yes, Brother Lu Dao!"

After hearing the two of them respond in unison, Lu Chen then focused on preparing the medicinal pills, controlling the Spiritual Fire as he threw various fire-related Spiritual Medicines into the Pill Furnace.

This time, the medicinal pills he was refining were to make it easier for them to cultivate the Li Fire Curse!

As for searching for Chu Zhongtian?

Lu Chen had already put that to the back of his mind, planning to seek him out only after everything here was well prepared!

He believed that once the people from Xuanyun Sect found that place, Chu Zhongtian would also request to wait for him in the icy lands!

At that time, he could establish a good relationship with Xuanyun Sect, preparing another path to save his parents!

And just as he speculated...

Xuan Jian and You Lingang plunged into the icy lands.

However...

They encountered a demon beast they had never heard of before...

And they were now locked in fierce battle.

"This beast is not even recorded in the Demon Beast Pictorial, Do you have any idea what it is, Fellow Daoist Xuan Jian?"

You Lingang, if not for the advantage of these icy lands, might have found it difficult to cope. He was barely holding his own against the beast with the aid of the icy winds and ice blades.

Xuan Jian maneuvered his Shadowless Sword, as fine as a needle, also having a tough time.

"Fellow Daoist You, let’s retreat first and plan accordingly!"

The demon beast seemed to understand human language, and upon hearing Xuan Jian say this, it suddenly roared angrily. The icy lands trembled, and the ice layers that had been frozen for who knows how many years burst forth with countless ice chips, which then coalesced into numerous ice beasts and started attacking them!
