Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Striking it Rich with Space Crystal Stones

"Since Brother Lin Chen doesn’t look down on me, then naturally, Sister will oblige respectfully," she replied.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Yu Weilian couldn’t help but be startled.

In the past, Yu Weilian always felt that Lin Chen was like a wooden figure, not understanding the matters of the heart, but she had not expected that Lin Chen would now know how to tease a woman and make her happy. Could it be that the presence of more women around him had naturally led him to learn this skill?

A sour feeling surged in Yu Weilian’s heart as she approached Lin Chen, her body almost pressing against his.

Feeling the fragrance emanating from Yu Weilian, Lin Chen suddenly became nervous and, involuntarily, took a few steps back.

"Sister Yu, I... I just wanted to tell you that I am still just me, you don’t have to be so formal with me. That serious demeanor actually makes things feel estranged," he said.

Yu Weilian’s teasing was still somewhat more than he could handle.

"Hehe..."

Seeing Lin Chen in this state, Yu Weilian laughed joyfully, thinking to herself that Lin Chen had not changed at all and still couldn’t withstand teasing.

After Yao Qinghe’s injuries were healed, Yu Weilian took the opportunity to introduce Lin Chen to everyone from the Divine Flame Sect.

When they learned that Lin Chen was from the weakest third-rate Shu Country, even from an insignificant sect, and that before that, he had always been from a minor family in a remote location, the people of the Divine Flame Sect were utterly shocked. They couldn’t imagine how Lin Chen, born so ordinary, had managed to grow into what he was today.

As Yu Weilian introduced Lin Chen to everyone, saying they were her good sisters from the Divine Flame Sect, Lin Chen looked at them politely.

After all, these were Yu Weilian’s good sisters, and Lin Chen gave them an extra measure of consideration.

However, Lin Chen’s attentive look, in the eyes of everyone else, appeared to be a man with dishonorable intentions glancing around.

Especially since Lin Chen had previously touched Yao Qinghe and the other three who were healed, they always felt Lin Chen’s gaze carried a hint of ill-intent, particularly when he looked at Yao Qinghe.

Actually, this wasn’t Lin Chen’s fault for looking around.

Because at the moment, Yao Qinghe was merely wearing a piece of tattered clothing, which was conveniently torn at the front, and Yao Qinghe’s figure was, well, very curvaceous. Her charms were on full display at the moment, so even if Lin Chen didn’t want to look intentionally, he could still see.

Upon hearing that Lin Chen had healed the disciples of the Divine Flame Sect, Yao Qinghe was instantly filled with immense gratitude.

Therefore, even though she noticed Lin Chen’s gaze, Yao Qinghe didn’t get angry, even though Lin Chen had touched her before. After all, it was for the purpose of treating her injuries.

Then, Yao Qinghe took out a complete set of clothes to put on, and afterwards, she handed Lin Chen a glowing, transparent stone about the size of a fist.

When they learned that Lin Chen was actually an Inner Sect Disciple of the Formation Sect, Yao Qinghe, Yu Weilian, and the disciples of the Divine Flame Sect were all amazed and quietly thought no wonder Lin Chen had such strength before.

However, they hadn’t heard of a person named Lin Chen in the Formation Sect.

They then surmised that Lin Chen must have joined the Formation Sect not long ago, which was why his reputation had not yet spread far and wide.

Little did they know, it was Mu Qianqiu who, out of concern that Lin Chen’s and Chang Bai’s fame would grow too quickly making them targets for other forces, had been trying as much as possible to suppress the spread of information about the two of them.

"Young Master Lin Chen, for the help and treatment you provided earlier, we really don’t know how to thank you enough. This is something we happened upon in these ruins, and we would now like to present it to Young Master Lin Chen as a small token of our gratitude. We truly hope that you will accept it."

Yao Qinghe looked at Lin Chen, truly at a loss for how to express her gratitude, and thus took out that stone.

"This is a Space Crystal Stone."

Lin Chen looked at the transparent stone in Yao Qinghe’s hand, his heart immediately filled with shock.

Lin Chen didn’t refuse and quickly took it from her.

Back in the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen had obtained a Spirit Crystal Stone from Liu Changfeng and had refined it into a Spatial Ring.

However, this Space Crystal Stone was different from the Spirit Crystal Stone; its value far surpassed that of the Spirit Crystal Stone.

Although Spirit Crystal Stones also have some of the functions of Space Crystal Stones, the effects are not on the same level at all.

The greatest use of Spirit Crystal Stones is to create Space Artifacts for storage purposes.

Space Crystal Stones, on the other hand, are used in Formations, Talisman Inscription, and Refining Instrument Magical Instruments.

Generally, while setting up Arrays and Refining Magical Instruments, although Spirit Crystal Stones can sometimes be substituted, if one wishes to set up Arrays above Fifth Grade or refine Heavenly Grade and above Magic Artifacts, Space Crystal Stones are required.

Lin Chen looked at the Space Crystal Stone in his hand, feeling immensely excited inside.

For such a long time, the Qiankun Escape Talismans Lin Chen had were only of the basic level.

Although they could be used to save his life in critical moments, they were still basic, with limited escape range, and they were also affected by spatial seal Great Formations.

But if Lin Chen could refine an Advanced Qiankun Escape Talisman, he could ignore this fact and use it as a true life-saving method. Once in danger, he would use the Qiankun Escape Talisman to truly escape and leave the enemy with no trace to follow.

With an Advanced Qiankun Escape Talisman, even if he was pursued by a Nirvana Realm powerhouse, Lin Chen was confident he could escape.

And this Space Crystal Stone was one of the important materials for refining the Advanced Qiankun Escape Talisman.

"Providing assistance was but a trifle. Since Senior Sister Yao insists on presenting this treasure to me, if I were to refuse, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to Senior Sister Yao?"

Lin Chen said with a light smile, and then with a flick of his wrist, he directly stored the Space Crystal Stone into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

The aura of the Space Crystal Stone is unique, and common Spatial Rings simply cannot contain it, but Lin Chen was able to keep it in the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Seeing the Space Crystal Stone in Lin Chen’s hand vanish in an instant, Yao Qinghe was astounded. She had tried to place the Space Crystal Stone into a Spatial Ring but had never succeeded. Seeing Lin Chen so easily store away the Space Crystal Stone, she speculated that Lin Chen must possess significant opportunities, but she did not inquire further so as not to be impolite.

The female disciples of the Divine Flame Sect around them, upon hearing Lin Chen’s words and seeing his swift action in accepting the Space Crystal Stone, couldn’t help but be speechless.

They had seen many geniuses before, and whenever they presented their gifts of gratitude, the recipients would always refuse at first to show their noble character.

However, Lin Chen did not put on any airs, which caused everyone to become extremely curious about him.
