Chapter 696: Chapter 696: The Xuanming Ice Snake Needs to Cultivate as Well!

"Xiao Bai, have you discovered anything unusual?"

As soon as Lu Chen emerged, he communicated with the Xuanming Ice Snake, whose name had been told to him by Chu Zhongtian.

"Hiss... Hiss..."

The Xuanming Ice Snake shook its head while flicking its tongue, which reminded Lu Chen of Xiao Hei.

"I wonder how Xiao Hei is faring in the Five Elements Formation!"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel nostalgic, although he had left Tian Yuan for just under half a year, Xiao Hei’s talents were visible to the naked eye.

However, this also reminded Lu Chen of his own Night Spirit Pearl.

He needed to protect Chu Zhongtian, so he wasn’t focused on cultivation, but rather took out the Night Spirit Pearl.

In an instant, the mining cave was faintly lit up.

The Xuanming Ice Snake was slightly stunned, its slit pupils contracted tightly, and after a few breaths, it slithered towards Lu Chen, continuously examining the Night Spirit Pearl in his hand.

"What, do you want it?"

Seeing the desire in its eyes, Lu Chen couldn’t help but be curious; he hadn’t looked closely at the Night Spirit Pearl before and only knew that besides illumination, it was also the key to the Five Elements Formation.

To be precise, it should be called a formation key!

Yet as this thought surfaced, Lu Chen stiffened slightly, a flash of insight crossing his mind.

Chu Zhongtian had said that the passage to the Spirit World was very likely within a forbidden area he had discovered, and he had speculated that it might be the Five Elements Formation.

So could this Night Spirit Pearl be a treasure of the formation’s eye?

The Night Spirit Pearl was obtained by the Polar Treasure Meeting by chance, which he hadn’t paid much attention to until now.

Thinking back,

whether it was who obtained it or how it was obtained, the Night Spirit Pearl had an inseparable connection with the Five Elements Formation.

And now, with the Xuanming Ice Snake’s reaction, perhaps...

It was just a pity that the Xuanming Ice Snake wasn’t yet mature enough to speak.

However.

"Xiao Bai, do you want to cultivate more quickly?"

Lu Chen’s words snapped the Xuanming Ice Snake back to reality, and it nodded furiously, its eyes sparkling with excitement!

"Haha," Lu Chen laughed dryly, saying, "I’m going to protect Chu Daoist friend anyway, so you might as well cultivate too!"

Since leaving the icy lands, the Xuanming Ice Snake’s cultivation had almost come to a standstill.

But its purpose for following Chu Zhongtian was indeed to stay with Lu Chen, so it could continue to cultivate in a much broader world.

Otherwise, at most it would end up like its mother, confined to the Haotian Secret Realm for life!

This was not what it wanted.

After finishing his words, Lu Chen took out several large and round demon pills from his bosom.

"Are these of any use to you?"

Xiao Hei’s rapid rate of cultivation was due to swallowing many demon pills.

The demon pills Lu Chen took out were even more pure in demonic power than those Xiao Hei had ingested.

These were from ancient demonic beasts!

"Hiss... Hiss!"

The Xuanming Ice Snake was incredibly excited.

It must be known that it dared to follow Chu Zhongtian away from the icy lands because it had swallowed a demon pill of an ancient demon beast!

Now seeing so many demon pills again, how could it not be thrilled?

"Good if they’re useful," Lu Chen said without the slightest reluctance, handing over all the demon pills to the Xuanming Ice Snake. After pondering for a moment, he also took out the Ice Spirit Pearl, "Is this pearl of any use to you?"

The Xuanming Ice Snake was of the ice attribute; there was not a trace of icy power in the mining cave now, so Lu Chen was only trying his luck. But to his surprise, the Xuanming Ice Snake’s excitement was overwhelming!

Clearly, the Ice Spirit Pearl was of great benefit to it!

"I can’t give you this, but I can lend it to you for now."

Lu Chen said, tossing it over with a smile. Originally, he had wanted to restore the Ice Spirit Pearl as quickly as possible, but since the crack on it had healed, there had been hardly any activity from the Ice Spirit Pearl.

Rather than wasting time keeping it inside his body, it was better to let the Xuanming Ice Snake benefit from it for now.

Beyond that.

Chu Zhongtian’s breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage had also indirectly reduced Lu Chen’s burden.

Losing one Ice Spirit Pearl didn’t matter much!

The Xuanming Ice Snake directly swallowed the Ice Spirit Pearl, and immediately its aura underwent some changes.

It bowed to Lu Chen, staying low to the ground for three breaths, then rose up, sweeping the ancient demon pills with its tail and slithering towards the edge of the mining cave.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly and took a few steps outward as well.

Then, he set up a prohibition!

The rest was up to time!
