Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Purifying the Jade Bottle, But Trapped Inside!

Lu Chen was clearly only prepared to drop a single droplet of his vital blood.

Yet as the blood touched the bottle, the jade vessel suddenly produced a massive suction force!

The small cut on Lu Chen’s finger unexpectedly widened, and his vital blood was drawn out as if spurting from a fountain!

"Not good!"

Lu Chen let out a cry of alarm, cursing inwardly for falling into the trap of the Clean Jade Vial!

The space inside the Clean Jade Vial was vast.

At the time, even an entire Dragon Scale Beast couldn’t fill it up, let alone his own blood!

However, what Lu Chen hadn’t expected was that the suction force of the Clean Jade Vial wasn’t absorbing his blood into the vessel itself, but was instead causing it to adhere to the surface!

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, for if it was merely covering the surface of the vial, then that wasn’t too bad.

He could grasp the Clean Jade Vial with one hand—it wouldn’t use much vital blood.

As such, Lu Chen focused his attention on the surface of the vial, and as his vital blood continued to spurt out, the originally pure white vial, which looked as if it were made of white jade, was slowly stained red!

At first a very light red, it then turned to a deeper crimson, and finally, it became a dark red!

Only when the color of the vial matched the color of Lu Chen’s vital blood did the rate of blood loss slow down and eventually stop.

The wound also healed itself.

Lu Chen felt dizzy, the scene before him swimming unsteadily.

Until everything went dark, and he once again entered the void!

"Am I... still in the same place I was before?"

Lu Chen didn’t panic, but instead shouted into the void.

"No, this time you are in your Sea of Consciousness!"

From all around, the relaxed laughter of the Clean Jade Vial resounded.

"My Sea of Consciousness?"

Lu Chen was taken aback, knowing only of the Qi Sea within the Dantian, composed of refined Spiritual Power.

"Exactly, the Sea of Consciousness, you may call it so!"

At those words, a woman clad in red robes appeared before Lu Chen.

Her red garments were precisely the color of the vital blood he had previously spilt, coagulated, and shaped into a human form.

"The Sea of Consciousness... is it in my brain?"

Lu Chen pointed at his temple.

"Yes," said the red-robed woman with a delicate laugh, "Let me introduce myself. I am the Artifact Spirit of the Clean Jade Vial, and since you have refined me, I have become your Spiritual Artifact!"

"Artifact Spirit... Spiritual Artifact... What are those?"

Lu Chen was not very familiar with the path of cultivation.

"When a Magic Artifact possesses a spirit, it is called a Spiritual Artifact. And the most significant difference between a Spiritual Artifact and a Magic Artifact is that the former possesses its own spiritual intelligence! This intelligence is the Artifact Spirit!"

The Artifact Spirit didn’t hide anything, and explained to Lu Chen.

"So you’re saying, the Clean Jade Vial is a Spiritual Artifact, and now, I have become the master of this Spiritual Artifact... that is, your master, right?"

"That’s right," the red-robed Artifact Spirit stretched languidly and spoke, "I didn’t have a choice; otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have chosen you as my master! The Hatetian Clan bloodline within you is a bit weak, but the Hatetian aura is quite strong. You must be the Chosen One of the Hatetian Clan."

Lu Chen wasn’t particularly interested in these matters. What he wanted to know right now was what benefits the refinement of the Clean Jade Vial could bring him!

"The benefits are many. At the very least, you will learn the true power of my Clean Jade Vial! Did you think it could only hold some liquid, Spiritual Liquid at best?"

The Artifact Spirit watched Lu Chen with a somewhat mocking smile.

Lu Chen, however, snorted coldly and said, "Since I am your master, shouldn’t you explain your uses to me? Otherwise, why would I waste so much vital blood to refine you?"

"A Spiritual Artifact has boundless wonders, and I indeed could tell you! But your realm is too low, knowing would be useless."

Lu Chen said discontentedly, "So you allowed me to refine you just to mock my low level?"

"The term ’motivation’ might be a bit more appropriate!"

The Artifact Spirit smiled radiantly, revealing her unearthly beauty, "From now on, you won’t be leaving this place until you realize the Method of Foundation Establishment!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen’s expression instantly turned grim!

Was the Clean Jade Vial intending to trap him here?

To comprehend Foundation Establishment was an extraordinarily difficult feat!
