Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Collecting Treasures, Thousand Years Cold Jade Marrow

Yu Weilian was well aware that Lin Chen giving her a Qiankun Escape Earth Talisman was already a huge sacrifice.

Such space transfer talismans were not only difficult to craft, but they also likely required many high-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Having spent nearly five years in the Great Flame Dynasty, Yu Weilian had some understanding of the rare resources of the dynasty, especially the high-quality materials, which were extremely scarce.

The Qiankun Escape Earth Talisman must have been crafted by Lin Chen, whose talisman-making speed Yu Weilian had witnessed.

Lin Chen only produced one talisman, which must be because the materials needed to craft such talismans were extremely rare; otherwise, they could have been produced in large quantities.

"What a heaven-defying fellow."

A slight smile appeared on Yu Weilian’s lips as Lin Chen’s figure surfaced again in her mind.

In just two years of absence, Lin Chen had been able to craft such advanced talismans. The quality grade of the Qiankun Escape Talisman must have already reached the peak of Fourth Grade. In terms of rarity and value, even Fifth or Sixth Grade talismans could not compare with it.

At this thought, an idea suddenly came to Yu Weilian.

That was that their Divine Flame Sect was a sacred land for artifact refining and possessed many high-grade materials.

If they could partner with Lin Chen, then they would be able to produce countless such talismans. And with Lin Chen’s expertise in Spiritual Formation, there might even be other surprises in crafting even more valuable talismans.

In this way, the status of their Divine Flame Sect in the Eastern Domain would become even stronger.

By then, Yu Weilian could declare that Lin Chen was her Dao Companion. In doing so, even if that person wanted to form a marital alliance with her, he would have no choice but to reconsider his own worth.

Surely then, the Divine Flame Sect would no longer use her as a bargaining chip for an alliance.

With this thought, Yu Weilian was suddenly excited, thinking about returning to the Divine Flame Sect immediately to inform her master of this matter.

When she wanted to escape from the Divine Flame Sect and her family, her master fully supported her.

Yu Weilian was also grateful to have a master who loved her more than herself; otherwise, the Divine Flame Sect would not be a sect that Yu Weilian still cared about.

...

At this moment, Lin Chen was looking at Zhao Lingxi, and Zhao Lingxi was also staring at Lin Chen; for a while, neither of them spoke.

During their time in Desolate Sky City, Zhao Lingxi was very interested in Lin Chen, even feeling a strong fondness for him.

Initially, when Lin Chen joined the Jade Cauldron Sect, Zhao Lingxi was genuinely happy for him.

This meant that Lin Chen had a stepping stone to stand out from the crowd and soar into the sky, avenging the wrongs in his heart one day.

However, Zhao Lingxi never anticipated Lin Chen’s rapid growth; he had now become a powerful figure that even her father could not easily defeat.

What was even more unexpected to Zhao Lingxi was that Lin Chen had also become an opponent to the Great Flame Imperial Family and the Wanxing Commerce Association.

Though in this matter, it was the Great Flame Imperial Family and the Wanxing Commerce Association that were in the wrong.

But in the cultivation world, right and wrong are not so absolute, everything is driven by interest.

If it were the Great Flame Imperial Family that won today, then they would be the ones qualified to speak of right and wrong.

Therefore, with regards to the Jade Cauldron Sect defeating the Great Flame Imperial Family, Zhao Lingxi had no resentment in her heart.

"Young Master Lin Chen, if you wish to do something to me, you can take action directly, no need to take Sister Yu’s words to heart."

"Born into the Royal Family, I’m accustomed to a superior lifestyle, but now that I’ve fallen to such a level, it is the resolve that a member of the Royal Family should have."

Zhao Lingxi said with a sigh, her head bowed.

Living in the Royal Family, indeed many things were beyond their control.

"Miss Zhao, what you say is not related to the actions of the Great Flame Imperial Family."

"Moreover, during the time in Desolate Sky City, I will not forget the care you showed me, how could I become someone who forgets kindness and repays it with ingratitude."

Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing those words, a light suddenly shone in Zhao Lingxi’s eyes.

The response from Lin Chen took Zhao Lingxi by surprise, and his attitude caused her favorable impression of him to surge in an instant.

"Young Master Lin Chen, can you agree to one thing for me?"

Zhao Lingxi looked at Lin Chen, her eyes full of hopeful inquiry.

Hearing this, Lin Chen did not immediately agree, but instead cast an inquiring look.

"What is it, let’s hear it."

Lin Chen replied.

"I know this request might be a bit sudden, but I still want to ask you to show mercy to my father in the future, he is also helpless, and in the matter of the Jade Cauldron Sect, my father actually did not want to act, but as a member of the royal family, he had no choice but to obey the emperor’s commands."

Zhao Lingxi sighed and pleaded with Lin Chen.

Although she knew that what she was asking was difficult for Lin Chen, the thought of her father being coerced by the Jade Cauldron Sect in the future was something she couldn’t bear.

"Don’t worry, as long as your father does not oppose the Jade Cauldron Sect again, the Jade Cauldron Sect will not insist on taking your father’s life."

Lin Chen replied lightly, making a promise.

He remembered that at the Soaring Dragon Conference, although Zhao Yuntian had used his aura to intimidate others like Xu Ma’an, he had never actually intervened in the great battle, which seemed to align with what Zhao Lingxi had mentioned; he just wanted to show his stance to Zhao Zhongtian.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin Chen."

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, tears involuntarily fell from Zhao Lingxi’s eyes.

She could disregard other things, but her father’s safety was non-negotiable.

"The purpose of Young Master Lin Chen’s visit this time, I am also aware of it, please come with me."

After addressing her father’s situation, Zhao Lingxi took the initiative to lead Lin Chen towards the Wanxing Commerce Association’s Treasury.

Hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

He always had a sense of guilt, as if he was coming to empty someone else’s treasury and still having them personally show the way, which was even more bandit-like than a bandit.

But this was also the cruelty of the Cultivation World.

If in this battle, the Black Cloud Sect or the Great Flame Imperial Family emerged as the victor, wouldn’t the treasury of the Jade Cauldron Sect be cleaned out just the same?

Following behind Zhao Lingxi, it wasn’t long before they arrived at the Wanxing Commerce Association’s Treasury, where the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures stored inside made Lin Chen’s eyes widen in astonishment.

Countless High-Grade materials were piled up everywhere.

In addition, there were many Upper Earth Grade magic treasures, and one of the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures caused Lin Chen’s breathing to become heavy.

It was a faceted crystal, and though it was sealed within an ice pillar, Lin Chen could still feel the intense cold force contained within it.

It was a piece of Cold Jade Marrow, a treasure that could only appear in extremely cold regions after thousands of years.
