Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Pretty Good

"This is the Blue Lotus Divine Flame..."

"An unrefined Blue Lotus Divine Flame!"

Zhao Rushi’s tone had lost its previous sarcasm and was now bright with excitement as her gaze fell upon the Blue Lotus Divine Flame in the pill furnace.

As an alchemist, distinguishing between a bounded and unbounded flame was the most basic common sense.

The Blue Lotus Divine Flame in the pill furnace was obviously not yet refined.

"You’ve found another Blue Lotus Divine Flame?"

Zhao Rushi asked in surprise.

The Divine Flame was something that both alchemists and artifact refiners dreamed of. Not only had Lin Chen refined one, but he also found a second one of the same type, which filled her with immense envy.

Lin Chen, seeing Zhao Rushi’s face filled with envy and eagerness, told her about the function of the Divine Fire Glazed Cup.

Lin Chen did not conceal anything from Zhao Rushi.

"Created with countless top-grade spirit stones?"

"In that case, give it to me quickly!"

Zhao Rushi spoke with excitement.

She recalled the good news Lin Chen mentioned before—it was this.

Zhao Rushi thought that as long as she could get the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, no matter how many top-grade spirit stones were consumed, it would be worth it.

Once she refined the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, her alchemy level would undoubtedly increase dramatically, and she might even become a peak fifth-grade alchemist.

"Giving you the Blue Lotus Divine Flame is no issue, but your future cultivation..."

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Rushi, pretending to be worried as he furrowed his brows.

"No problem, as long as you give me the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, I will definitely cultivate well."

Zhao Rushi nodded her head repeatedly.

Lin Chen hesitated, wondering if he should trust her.

He had originally planned to give the Blue Lotus Divine Flame to Zhao Rushi, but with her currently focused on alchemy, he worried that her obsession with refining would grow worse if she received the Divine Flame.

"As long as you allow me to refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, I’ll do anything you want."

Zhao Rushi pleaded with Lin Chen, using a beseeching gaze.

Lin Chen, feeling helpless, could only agree.

He explained the precautions of refining the Blue Lotus Divine Flame to Zhao Rushi to prevent her from becoming obsessed during the refining process.

Zhao Rushi nodded frantically; she was already prepared and didn’t want to miss any opportunity.

Lin Chen then took out the Extreme Cold Jade Liquid and tossed it to Zhao Rushi to lessen the harm the Blue Lotus Divine Flame might cause her.

Looking at the Extreme Cold Jade Liquid in her hand, Zhao Rushi felt complicated emotions.

Lin Chen had done so much for her, both now and in the past.

In her heart, Zhao Rushi couldn’t help but wonder if Lin Chen harbored other intentions for her, as the rumors suggested.

If that were true, as Lin Chen’s Uncle Master, it wasn’t out of the question for her to have a different kind of relationship with Lin Chen.

After all, on the Mysterious Heaven Continent, there were many cases where a mentor and disciple ultimately became Dao companions, and her relationship with Lin Chen was merely that of a mentor’s nephew.

"Uncle Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Chen, feeling a chill down his spine and getting goosebumps when Zhao Rushi suddenly looked at him with that expression, immediately asked.

"Lin Chen, do you have feelings for me?"

Zhao Rushi suddenly questioned Lin Chen.

When she asked this, Zhao Rushi didn’t know why she had blurted out such a question.

"Uncle Master Zhao, what are you talking about? Surely alchemy hasn’t addled your brain. Hurry and refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame."

Lin Chen spoke to Zhao Rushi, then immediately turned away.

If it wasn’t for the need to help Zhao Rushi refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, Lin Chen really wanted to leave immediately.

Zhao Rushi, seeing Lin Chen’s reaction, smiled at the corners of her mouth.

Lin Chen’s answer didn’t matter; what mattered was that he had brought the Blue Lotus Divine Flame to her instead of giving it to someone else.

Thereupon, in front of Lin Chen, Zhao Rushi absorbed the Extreme Cold Jade Liquid and started to refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame.

Seeing this, Lin Chen also summoned his Blue Lotus Divine Flame to help Zhao Rushi resist the impact of the Divine Flame she was refining.

Lin Chen’s Blue Lotus Divine Flame was second-rank, a level higher than the one Zhao Rushi was refining.

Being of the same lineage and origin, Lin Chen’s Blue Lotus Divine Flame made Zhao Rushi’s refining process relatively easier under its protection.

After all, the Blue Lotus Divine Flame was a Divine Fire; when it invaded Zhao Rushi’s body, it incinerated her clothes and moved into her limbs, bones, and all her meridians.

However, protected by Lin Chen’s Blue Lotus Divine Flame, Zhao Rushi’s pain was much alleviated.

Together with the effect of the Extreme Cold Jade Liquid, Zhao Rushi’s refining process went very smoothly.

An hour later, all the flames were guided into her Spirit Sea by Zhao Rushi’s Spiritual Sense.

Lin Chen, seeing this, let out a sigh of relief and withdrew his own Blue Lotus Divine Flame.

After the Blue Lotus Divine Flame was refined, Zhao Rushi slowly opened her eyes, meeting Lin Chen’s gaze.

Two trails of faint green flames flickered in Zhao Rushi’s eyes.

"How is it, does it look good?"

Zhao Rushi was in high spirits, completely unconcerned about her destroyed clothing, revealing her body in front of Lin Chen.

"Um, quite splendid!"

Lin Chen replied subconsciously, then immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

Because Zhao Rushi’s clothes had been incinerated in the process of refining the Blue Lotus Divine Flame.
