Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: Hit the Jackpot
"Phew, Lin Chen, why did you release me? I want to go back to cultivating." Little Profound Turtle complained as soon as Lin Chen summoned it from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly. This little guy was becoming lazier and always made excuses to avoid work.
"Stop babbling and quickly block those fire beasts." Lin Chen hurriedly said, looking at the fire beasts charging towards him.
Faced with such a large and powerful group of fire beasts, Lin Chen had no time to argue with Little Profound Turtle.
If Little Profound Turtle didn’t deal with these fire beasts, Lin Chen’s only option would be to retreat from the depths of the Fire Sea and escape outward. But outside were Shi An and Hei Xuan, both groups hostile to Lin Chen, and going out might not end well for him.
Moreover, since Lin Chen had ventured into the depths of the Fire Sea, even if he couldn’t subdue the Yang Flame Divine Fire, he should at least collect some Flame Crystal Stones.
Receiving Lin Chen’s order, Little Profound Turtle, though reluctant, knew it couldn’t return to the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to cultivate without helping Lin Chen. So, with some resentment, it turned its gaze towards the fire beasts.
If not for these fire beasts, it wouldn’t have been called out by Lin Chen to handle this mess.
Thus, Little Profound Turtle immediately swung a paw at the fire beasts.
Under the powerful force of its claws, those fire beasts were instantly torn into halves by Little Profound Turtle.
Even those fire beasts with strong cultivation reaching the Creation Realm Third Layer were no match and collapsed under Little Profound Turtle’s hands.
Little Profound Turtle possessed the Xuanwu Bloodline, and it’s known that Xuanwu isn’t just water-attribute in body but also formless, making the flame powers here beneficial to it as well.
Seeing those fierce fire beasts crumble so easily under Little Profound Turtle’s hands, Lin Chen was overjoyed, secretly thinking he might be able to use these fire beasts.
"Little Profound Turtle, don’t kill them, just knock them out. I want to see if I can utilize their power." Lin Chen instructed Little Profound Turtle.
"What a hassle, why keep these small fry around? In my prime, a single sneeze could wipe out a bunch of them." Little Profound Turtle was a bit annoyed by Lin Chen’s order.
"I see you don’t want to return to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to cultivate." Lin Chen said calmly, noticing Little Profound Turtle’s noncompliance.
Hearing this, Little Profound Turtle wilted; it didn’t want to lose that wonderful place for cultivation.
So, Little Profound Turtle had no choice but to follow Lin Chen’s order, reducing its strength and knocking out the fire beasts without killing them.
Seeing the fire beasts knocked out, Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward and collected them all into the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron. Inside the cauldron, even if they awoke, they couldn’t cause any trouble, as the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron could deal with them in an instant.
After Lin Chen stored the fire beasts into the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, he was overjoyed and secretly hopeful. If he could tame these fire beasts and harness their power, even without Little Profound Turtle’s help, he could dominate this ruin with these fire beasts.
"Little Profound Turtle, don’t slack off, keep knocking them out." Lin Chen said, noticing there were still many fire beasts around.
Upon hearing this, Little Profound Turtle had no choice but to continue knocking out the fire beasts charging at them.
An hour later, almost all the surrounding fire beasts had been subdued by the human and the turtle. Initially, there were more, but these fire beasts had low intelligence. Seeing their kin fall under Lin Chen and the turtle, they were all frightened and fled deeper into the Fire Sea.
"Little Profound Turtle, let’s go, catch up with them." Seeing the fire beasts trying to escape, Lin Chen called Little Profound Turtle and chased after them.
So, Lin Chen and Little Profound Turtle swam further into the Fire Sea.
However, when Lin Chen reached the depths of the Fire Sea, five miles away from the central Yang Flame Divine Fire, he suddenly stopped.
Because the flame’s pressure in this area was ten times higher than before. As Lin Chen approached, the Blue Lotus Divine Flame within him felt a strong threat and could no longer maintain its protection.
Seeing this, Lin Chen immediately stopped. If he continued forward, the Yang Flame Divine Fire might counterattack, which would be a catastrophic fire power that Lin Chen couldn’t withstand.
Raising his head to scrutinize the Yang Flame Divine Fire, after careful consideration, Lin Chen believed he couldn’t subdue it.
If he could set up an array around to suppress the power of the Yang Flame Divine Fire and use the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen might have a chance.
However, he hadn’t expected to encounter a Divine Fire this time, and currently, Lin Chen was too broke to have the materials needed to set up an array to suppress the Yang Flame Divine Fire.
Therefore, Lin Chen had no means to subdue the Yang Flame Divine Fire now; he could only wait to gather materials and return to set up an array and find a way to subdue it later.
Since he couldn’t subdue the Yang Flame Divine Fire this time, Lin Chen’s plan changed.
The Yang Flame Divine Fire couldn’t be collected, but this journey couldn’t be for nothing. According to Zhang Hongying, there were Flame Crystal Stones in the depths of the Fire Sea, so Lin Chen decided to collect these stones.
Thus, Lin Chen took out an Unbreakable Vajra Talisman, applied it to himself, and began searching for Flame Crystal Stones around him.
With the Abyssal Eye in operation, nothing around could escape his Sight Power.
In this Fire Sea, Lin Chen didn’t dare to release his Spiritual Sense to probe, as with his cultivation, his Spiritual Sense would be instantly burned by the lava.
Soon, Lin Chen found some Flame Crystal Stones.
This was the deepest part of the Fire Sea, where the quality of Flame Crystal Stones far exceeded those on the periphery.
A Low Grade Flame Crystal Stone was worth about ten thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals; a Mid Grade one was worth about fifty thousand; a High Grade one was equivalent to ten thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals.
In a short time wandering the Fire Sea, Lin Chen found ten Low Grade Flame Crystal Stones, five Mid Grade Flame Crystal Stones, and three High Grade Flame Crystal Stones.
Although the Fire Attribute Energy was rich here, nurturing High Grade Flame Crystal Stones wasn’t easy. Even so, Lin Chen was quite satisfied, as he had just earned eight hundred and fifty thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals. This speed of making money was insane, even faster than robbing.
