Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Changes of Spiritual Fire

Lu Chen’s attention lingered on the words "eyesight different from others." Could it be that Ning Changzhong possessed some sort of Pupil Skill?

Subconsciously, he touched his lower abdomen, somewhat worried that his Spiritual Fire might be discovered by the other party.

But then he thought...

If Ning Changzhong was capable of such a feat, he probably wouldn’t be just the Eighth Elder!

Lu Chen, who was just beginning to dip his toes into the art of Artifact Refining and had only learned the basics, knew that possessing a Pupil Skill would be a tremendous help in this craft.

Yet oddly enough, Ning Changzhong was only adept at refining bells!

With this thought, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

So, what did Ning Changzhong want to discuss with him and Zhu Chongjiu?

Lu Chen didn’t speak; he just looked at Zhu Chongjiu.

"Junior brother Ning, if there’s something you want to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here,"

Zhu Chongjiu’s words made Ning Changzhong smile bitterly, "Brother, can’t you discern the meaning in my words? Although there are no outsiders, if the other elders find out that I have stayed here for long, do you think they won’t..."

Lu Chen was startled. This was a loaded statement!

Could it be that aside from his master Zhu Chongjiu, there was discord among the other elders?

This was getting interesting!

He glanced at Zhu Chongjiu and noticed that he hadn’t grasped the underlying meaning, so he spoke up, "Eighth Elder, rest assured, tomorrow my master and I will visit you!"

Zhu Chongjiu was about to say something but caught the look Lu Chen was giving him and swallowed his words instead.

In his opinion, it was better to spend the time cultivating than to visit Ning Changzhong. Wouldn’t that just be a waste of time?

After seeing Ning Changzhong off, Zhu Chongjiu couldn’t help but ask, "Lu Chen, you’re making your master anxious! With the Sect Master having such high hopes for you, shouldn’t you be focusing on your cultivation?"

Lu Chen teased, "Master, didn’t you say that one must not neglect Artifact Refining for the sake of cultivation?"

Zhu Chongjiu scolded him with a laugh, "You little rascal, your master’s eyesight is naturally not as good as the Sect Master’s, and yet you use my words to jest at me?"

Lu Chen smiled and then spoke seriously, "Master, didn’t you realize what the Eighth Elder was trying to say?"

"What was he trying to say?"

Zhu Chongjiu was taken aback.

Lu Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly. Although Zhu Chongjiu was of a high realm, he clearly lacked experience in the outside world...

No wonder he was being marginalized by the other elders, to the extent that even an ordinary Foundation Establishment disciple could manipulate him!

"Master, you better just focus on helping Elder Ning with refining the tea seats. I’m going to cultivate."

It was not something that could be explained in a short time; moreover, to delve into it might genuinely disrupt Lu Chen’s cultivation, so he didn’t bother to elaborate.

"Lu Chen, are you giving me orders now?"

Zhu Chongjiu seemed a bit indignant, unable to do anything about this newly accepted disciple of his.

What could he do when even Danyang Zi thought highly of him?

Lu Chen waved his hand and left Zhu Chongjiu with only his silhouetted back.

Returning to the edge of the pit, Lu Chen immersed his mind once more and continued to observe the Spiritual Fire beneath the Dao platform.

"There are some changes," Lu Chen murmured. He had used "Spear Strikes Like a Dragon" before to extract some of the fire force from the Spiritual Fire, similar to the Fire Essence of the Earth Fire.

"I didn’t expect Fire Essence to be so useful, even capable of harming those at the Core Formation Stage. With this, my Heavenly Inquiry Spear combined with the spear technique and the Fire Essence, I might indeed be able to kill someone at the Core Formation Stage!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen watched the recovery of the Spiritual Fire. After he had extracted a wisp of Fire Essence, the Spiritual Fire was not only refining his Dao platform but also absorbing the fire force within his Dantian.

"Before the Spiritual Fire absorbed the Fire Essence, it resided within my lower arm and never absorbed my Spiritual Power. It seems that its changes are related to the Fire Essence. But what exactly is this Fire Essence?"

Lu Chen pondered without finding answers, but since the Fire Essence could enhance his strength and possibly even help him advance to the mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment, he naturally wouldn’t delve too deep into the matter.

"Tomorrow I’ll go to the Eighth Peak to see. If Ning Changzhong needs me, I’ll take the opportunity to see if I can go to his cave and absorb the Fire Essence there too!"

Lu Chen collected his thoughts and looked at the pit in front of him.

The Earth Fire was still present, occasionally emitting small flames.

But it totally lacked the distinct aura of the Fire Essence.
