Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Powerful Hidden Card

"Don’t let this matter out. Your junior brother’s cultivation is too low to protect himself. If the people of the Second Peak find out that the attack was caused by him, they will inevitably trouble him."

"Although our Jade Bird Peak is not afraid of trouble, we should not deliberately provoke it. It would be best if we could keep this matter concealed."

Yang Yuemin looked at her several disciples and opened her mouth to remind them.

In years past, Yang Yuemin was a fearless, irreverent Great Witch.

But as time passed, she realized that many things in the world were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, especially after she was stricken with a deadly poison last time and nearly died.

She came to understand that many things in the world are not just black and white.

Her temperament had changed from before, and she considered more.

She was very clear about the personality of her disciples; they were just like her in the past, especially Zhao Yijing and Xu Lianyu.

Therefore, she spoke up to remind them that keeping the matter secret was a better approach than dealing with it in a domineering way.

Because of the poisoning incident, she could be sure that within the Jade Cauldron Sect, there were spies from the Black Cloud Sect, and even deeply involved ones at that.

If Lin Chen’s talent and powerful attack were to be exposed, he would become the target of many. The Black Cloud Sect would stop at nothing to eliminate this talent of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

While speaking, Yang Yuemin glanced at Lin Chen a few times, thinking to herself that it was too smart to have met Lin Chen and taken him as a disciple. His talent was so great; it was a blessing for both Jade Bird Peak and the Jade Cauldron Sect.

"Yes, Master!"

Yang Yuemin and the four women, including Xu Lianyu, heard Yang Yuemin’s command, nodded their heads, and all agreed.

Xu Lianyu pouted slightly, thinking to herself that she must find an opportunity to borrow that staff of Lin Chen’s and play with it. The power was simply too domineering.

Whoosh whoosh—

As Yang Yuemin expected, several figures suddenly flew towards Jade Bird Peak.

Each mountain peak had its own defensive formation, and Jade Bird Peak was no exception. Those figures stopped outside the defensive shield of Jade Bird Peak, their gazes falling on Yang Yuemin and Lin Chen, among others.

The newcomers were none other than the Peak Masters of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

An attack on a mountain peak was naturally no small matter. It was clearly stipulated in the Jade Cauldron Sect that private fights were forbidden. Those who wanted to practice martial skills and spar needed to go to the corresponding duel platform, where there would be specialized areas and defensive measures.

"My Second Peak has just been hit by a powerful attack, and I have come to ask what happened, Junior Sister."

Second Peak’s Peak Master, Hong Yanbing, suppressed his anger and transmitted his voice to the inside of Jade Bird Peak.

"Alas, I, your Junior Sister, have recently recovered from an old injury and on a whim demonstrated a sword technique to my disciples. Who knew that after such a long time without practice, I got carried away and accidentally released a sword attack that landed on Third Senior Brother’s Second Peak. Please don’t be angry, Senior Brother."

Yang Yuemin flew in front of the various Peak Masters and made up an excuse for everyone to hear.

Hong Yanbing couldn’t help but feel speechless upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "So you’re happy just to shave off a piece of my Second Peak, huh? That’s pretty miserable for me."

The other Peak Masters shook their heads and smiled upon hearing this, congratulating Yang Yuemin that the healing of her injuries was a cause for celebration. They advised her not to be too hasty with her cultivation practice and to rest properly. At the same time, they consoled Hong Yanbing not to be too stingy, arguing that it was only a small corner of the mountain that had been shaved off, which could be repaired with spells in a matter of days.

It was evident that everyone superficially held a great deal of affection for this little junior sister, but who truly meant it was unclear.

Afterward, everyone left, and Yang Yuemin called Lin Chen to the main hall of Jade Bird Peak to inquire.

"What exactly happened just now, was that attack caused by you?"

Yang Yuemin started to question, as she saw the previous attack possessed power nearing that of the Heaven-reaching Realm. She found it hard to believe that Lin Chen, who was at the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm, could have launched it.

Yet, the thought of the strange and wonderful opportunities Lin Chen carried made her feel it was possible.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. Xu Lianyu was aware that he had been practicing with the Flame Staff for the past few days.

As for his own master, Lin Chen had never thought of concealing anything from her. Yang Yuemin had even guessed the matter of the extraordinary cultivation techniques and opportunities he possessed, so Lin Chen naturally felt she would not harm him.

Accordingly, Lin Chen told her everything about his practice with the Flame Staff.

After listening to Lin Chen, Yang Yuemin was astoundingly shocked.

This guy, Lin Chen, was also capable of artifact refining, and had even crafted a Profound Middle Grade magic artifact himself.

If the Artifact Refining elders of the sect heard this, they would probably be so shocked that they’d be at a loss for words.

However, Lin Chen still concealed some facts, mainly that he had started to learn about artifact refining and related knowledge only after obtaining the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron half a year ago; otherwise, in just a mere half a year, Lin Chen had become a Third Grade Artifact Refiner, a Third Grade Alchemist, and a Second Grade Formation Master. If this extraordinary talent were known, it would certainly cause a sensation throughout the Great Flame Dynasty and even the entire Mysterious Heaven Continent.

By then, everyone would suspect that Lin Chen possessed a significant opportunity and would force him to reveal it.

Hence, Lin Chen told Yang Yuemin that he had already dabbled in alchemy, artifact refining, and the Way of Formation before joining the Jade Cauldron Sect, when he was still in Desolate Sky City. After all, the Lin Chen of that time was the number one talent in Desolate Sky City, and it was not strange for him to be involved in various fields.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuemin didn’t say much, only instructing Lin Chen to be more cautious in the future and deliberately conceal his talent, lest ill-intentioned people target him, which would be troublesome.

Afterward, Lin Chen left the main hall and returned to his residence, pondering over one matter—that the Flame Staff had now become one of his trump cards. Being just a Profound Middle Grade artifact, perhaps it was time to enhance it.

Now that he was a Third Grade Artifact Refiner, and after refining numerous magic artifacts, Lin Chen’s experience in artifact refining had grown even richer. If he could get some Fire Attribute gems and beast cores, he could definitely upgrade the Flame Staff to a Profound Grade High-Grade level or even higher.

Moreover, Lin Chen had another idea, which was to refine a type of talisman inscription compatible with the Flame Staff, to amplify its power when used. The Explosive Talisman that Lin Chen was aware of was one such talisman, and it was a third-grade talisman, although the materials required to produce it were extremely rare.

Lin Chen left his residence and headed toward the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion at the foot of the mountain. With over eighty thousand sect contribution points in his possession, he was certainly not short of money.

He planned to take a look around and see if there were any materials that could upgrade the quality grade of a spiritual artifact and materials needed for crafting Explosive Talismans.

As he arrived at the plaza outside the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, Lin Chen spotted several familiar figures.
