Chapter 665: Chapter 665: A Messy Struggle

Zhao Lingxi had just stored away the three small mountains of Spirit Stones before Lin Chen, with a sweeping gesture of his hand, produced the same amount of Top-Quality Spirit Stones, placing them in the great hall.

"This..."

Zhao Lingxi stared at the Spirit Stones, which had once again piled up like a mountain before her, frozen in disbelief. She probed into her Space Ring with her Divine Soul and discovered these were not the same batch as before, meaning that Lin Chen had taken out six piles of Top-Quality Spirit Stones of the same quantity.

"What are you stunned for, pick them up!"

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Lingxi with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth and spoke lightly.

Showing off his Spirit Stones so generously in front of Zhao Lingxi gave Lin Chen a great thrill.

Zhao Lingxi again stored the Spirit Stones away, but as soon as she had finished, Lin Chen produced three more piles.

In total, including the previous ones, there were now nine piles of Top-Quality Spirit Stones.

The hearts of everyone in the great hall began to feel chaotic; they couldn’t help but wonder if they were dreaming.

Only now did they realize just how wealthy their lord was.

No wonder he could promise to double the merit rewards in the future.

From the current economic state, it was not just double, but even fourfold or fivefold could be easily afforded.

"Will these Spirit Stones last for ten years?"

Lin Chen asked Zhao Lingxi.

"Enough... it’s definitely enough, more than enough!"

Zhao Lingxi’s face brimmed with a joyful smile at this moment, unable to contain her happiness.

Zhao Lingxi believed that if she managed this batch of Spirit Stones well, they could even sustain for twenty years’ worth of expenses.

Seeing Zhao Lingxi’s satisfaction, the smile returned to Lin Chen’s face.

Little did she know, she was so easily contented by temptation.

After taking out the Spirit Stones, Lin Chen also produced a batch of Spiritual Medicine.

These were Spiritual Medicines Lin Chen had obtained in the ruins.

Of course, these medicines were low-level, as Lin Chen naturally had other purposes for them.

It was known that even the lowest level of Spiritual Medicine, if obtained from the ruins, would be over a hundred thousand years old, putting them on par with the fifth-grade spiritual medicine existing in the current world.

The moment Lin Chen took out these Spiritual Medicines, the great hall was immediately filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

All the Martial Artists saw those Spiritual Medicines, their eyes gleaming with eagerness; if they could obtain these medicines, their cultivation could advance by several ranks at the very least.

Zhao Rushi had been dozing off on a table in the great hall.

After all, she didn’t understand military affairs and was only skilled in Alchemy; she didn’t comprehend what others discussed.

However, upon catching the scent of the medicines, she suddenly perked up, raising her head and chest, and looked forward.

Before her, countless Spiritual Medicines aged tens of thousands of years were laid out, some even over a hundred thousand years old.

Seeing this, Zhao Rushi didn’t hesitate; she ran to the Spiritual Medicines, picked them up one by one, unable to part with them, imagining what grade of elixirs she could refine with these medicines.

Of course, only Zhao Rushi could act in this way; if it were someone else, rushing to grab those medicines now might have been considered embezzlement.

"Haha, a hundred thousand-year-old herbal materials, so many of them!"

"Mysterious Spirit Grass, Wood Calming Flower, Flower Spirit Root..."

"I’m rich, truly rich this time! With these Spiritual Medicines, I will definitely break through my bottleneck and strive for the pinnacle of a Peak Fifth-grade Alchemist."

"Haha, this is just too good!"

Zhao Rushi’s eyes were fixed only on these Spiritual Medicines; she held them tightly, laughing heartily to the sky, her joy utterly unrestrained.

Her lifelong pursuit was Alchemy, to become a Senior Alchemist.

However, with her current strength and the situation of the Jade Cauldron Sect, to aim for the status of a Peak Fifth-grade Alchemist could take many years, perhaps even impossible within her lifetime.

After all, even in a Super Power like the Formation Sect, Peak Fifth-grade Alchemists were rare.

For Zhao Rushi to become a Senior Fifth-grade Alchemist already represented a remarkable achievement.

At that moment, during the great hall discussion, Lin Chen suggested that major leaders of each team be allowed to attend and voice their opinions. This was unlike the usual Jade Cauldron Sect conferences, which were only attended by the Peak Masters and Elders.

Zhao Rushi’s ecstatic laughter left many generals dumbfounded.

They had long heard that Zhao Rushi was obsessed with Alchemy, and now they saw it was true.

"Cough cough, Junior Sister Zhao, mind your image a bit."

Xu Ma’an coughed softly and sent her a message telepathically.

He knew that many generals were present and they always had to be serious in front of them. With an act like Zhao Rushi’s, how could they maintain respect in front of their disciples and the army?

However, even facing Xu Ma’an’s message, Zhao Rushi remained completely absorbed, paying no heed to it.

Seeing Zhao Rushi’s behavior, Lin Chen felt a headache coming on.

So, with a wave of his hand, Lin Chen gathered all those Spiritual Medicines back into the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron’s space.

When Zhao Rushi saw the Spiritual Medicines vanish, she suddenly came to her senses.

"Lin Chen, why did you put away those medicines, bring them out now."

Zhao Rushi looked at Lin Chen with an eager expression.

"Uncle Master Zhao, you should calm down first. After you’ve calmed down, I’ll bring the Spiritual Medicines out again for you to study."

Lin Chen spoke softly.

"No, bring them out now, hurry it up!"

Zhao Rushi was relentless, grabbing Lin Chen’s sleeve directly.

Lin Chen, seeing her actions, felt his headache worsen.

Meanwhile, others in the great hall, witnessing the close interaction between Zhao Rushi and Lin Chen, recalled some rumors circulating within the Jade Cauldron Sect.

"Enough, Junior Sister, this is unseemly!"

Xu Ma’an chided as he saw the interaction between Zhao Rushi and Lin Chen, not able to hold back any longer.

He joked, without stopping them, that a rumor that held no water before might actually be believed as true now!
