Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Mutual Probing, Lu Chen Treads On Thin Ice!

Lu Chen glanced at the concealed little cave; Lin Miaoyin had already set up a protective formation, so he couldn’t see inside at all.

He thought about using the Void-Breaking Spiritual Eyes Technique, but as he was outside the Ice Field, he was unsure whether Lin Miaoyin would notice if he looked in that way.

"To know your enemy, you must know yourself, in order to prevail when you’re weaker. Maybe I should hide inside the Ice Field instead," he murmured.

He looked down at the ring in his hand, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, blame yourself for telling me how to refine this storage ring!"

Lu Chen already knew how; he had acquired Li Yan’s ring before and had also been injured by it. It was Li Yanran who had told him.

At that time, to deceive Lin Miaoyin, he had deliberately allowed the residual consciousness in the ring to injure him again—not only to gain time to seek help from the Heavenly Inquiry Spear’s spirit but also to earn Lin Miaoyin’s temporary trust.

Lin Miaoyin had personally told him the method.

However, it seemed that Lin Miaoyin had since forgotten.

Lu Chen didn’t rush to enter the Ice Field. Accompanying Lin Miaoyin was like walking on thin ice; any carelessness could lead to a fall.

He needed to ensure all his actions were as reasonable as possible.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, looking around as if observing the situation, then withdrew his gaze and forced out a drop of essence blood onto the ring.

You Lingang’s ring, unlike Li Yan’s and the Fire Core’s rings, was primarily different in its design.

You Lingang’s ring looked like a coiling true dragon, with its tail connecting to its neck, which was very mystical.

Li Yan’s and the Fire Core’s resembled a flame.

Lu Chen dripped his essence blood onto the dragon head of the ring, washed away the residual consciousness, and then poured his spiritual sense into the ring, searching carefully. He found a volume of "Mystical Ice Techniques," clearly an ice-type cultivation technique. He showed a delighted expression and began flipping through it.

But just after the first page, Lu Chen’s brows furrowed deeply, his hands continuously forming spells, yet it had no effect.

All of this, of course, was a performance for Lin Miaoyin.

And indeed, Lin Miaoyin was observing Lu Chen.

The protective formation she had laid out was similar to the one Li Yanran had used—impenetrable from the outside, but from the inside, one could see out.

"Is this boy sincere or is he pretending?" she pondered.

She had just taken a pill to replenish her essence blood, a very precious medicinal pill. She had come out in a hurry this time, bringing only two.

Having taken one just now, she planned to save the other for emergencies.

What if she ended up facing Haotian Sect as foes?

The more she thought about it, the more she needed to confirm whether Lu Chen was truly submissive to her.

But some things, she was afraid to say out loud as it might cause Lu Chen’s antipathy again. Therefore, every move she made was deliberately measured.

Sometimes she would praise as if offering a sweet jujube, and sometimes she would be cold, wielding a big stick instead.

At this moment, she watched as Lu Chen stood up, holding a manual of techniques in one hand and still forming spells with the other hand.

"Looks like he’s planning to enter the Ice Field, to comprehend the spells of North Dragon Sect..."

When Lin Miaoyin saw Lu Chen refining the ring, she remembered telling him the method, but she wasn’t annoyed. Instead, she felt something was amiss.

Having said that, Lu Chen was at least at the Core Formation Stage—how could he not remember it?

Still, now that she had taken the pill, she couldn’t squander it halfway; otherwise, it would be a waste.

"I’ll ask him later! As soon as I find the slightest suspicion, I’ll kill him right away," she thought, watching Lu Chen return to the Ice Field. She murmured to herself and focused earnestly on refining the medicinal power.

Lu Chen had warned her that there were others in the Ice Field. If it were true, she needed to recover as quickly as possible.

Now that he had entered the Ice Field again, thinking positively, perhaps he also wanted to alert her in advance.

With that in mind, Lin Miaoyin completely immersed her spirit into her body. In her lower abdomen, her Nascent Soul, which looked like her and was naked, spun in place, with spiritual power swirling around her body, issuing a wispy spirit sound.

The medicinal power was then carried by this spirit sound, slowly flowing toward various parts of her body, into her organs.

At this moment, Lu Chen was lying on the slope of the Ice Field, revealing only one eye.

"Void-Breaking Spiritual Eyes Technique!"

All the previous actions had been an act for Lin Miaoyin to watch.

As someone possessing Ice Spiritual Power, even though the North Dragon Sect’s spells were mystical, it wasn’t so unfathomable that he completely couldn’t understand them.

As soon as he entered the Ice Field, he threw the "Mystical Ice Techniques" back into the ring. Then, with one eye, he wielded the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

He saw Lin Miaoyin shrouded by an extremely mystical power, with an unknown attribute, something even Lu Chen couldn’t understand.

But the pill gave him the impression that it was no ordinary medicine.

"A single pill can restore essence blood; it’s clear how uncommon this pill must be..." Lu Chen muttered, unsure whether the pill would help recover the Resentful Heaven Blood.

As he thought this,

A very faint sound of something slicing through the air came from behind.

His body tensed, he quickly withdrew the Void-Breaking Spiritual Eyes Technique, and turned to use the Heart Eye instead!

A shadow loomed, targeting his back amidst the icy winds!

It was the Shadowless Sword!
