Chapter 1140: Chapter 1160: How Can You Call It a Delay, That’s Called Enjoying Life!_1

Lin Chen was overjoyed, it could actually recover and even grow?

"How can I make it recover?"

Zhu Yao said with a laugh: "Naturally, by absorbing enough spiritual energy. The purer the spiritual energy, the better the effect. However, Strange Fire is not like humans - its recovery and growth are probably slower, perhaps taking decades or even centuries..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "For a cultivator, that’s not long. If, in a hundred years, I can nourish a Yin and Yang Ghost Fire with high spiritual wisdom, it would be worth it. After all, it’s something that comes along the way."

Zhu Yao nodded: "Fortunately, there’s enough quantity. The Fire Core has formed inside my body, otherwise, I’m afraid it would be completely destroyed. Strange Fires with spiritual wisdom are already extremely rare, you should keep it."

Lin Chen rubbed his chin: "Although it has spiritual wisdom, it cannot communicate. If I release it, it may run away in the blink of an eye. It seems I can only temporarily store it in the Water and Fire Mirror; there is abundant, pure spiritual energy inside the mirror for it to consume."

Zhu Yao laughed: "Don’t worry, you can keep it in the Water and Fire Mirror for now. When its spiritual wisdom and intelligence are higher, you can sign a contract with it, and then it won’t run away."

"A contract?"

Lin Chen asked in surprise: "Can a contract be signed even with Strange Fire?"

Zhu Yao replied: "To be precise, it’s signing a contract with a Strange Fire that has high spiritual wisdom and intelligence. Ordinary Strange Fires have no spirituality and intelligence, so they are just dead objects and do not need a contract."

Lin Chen widened his horizons and asked curiously: "How do you sign a contract?"

Zhu Yao laughed: "The Zhu Family’s Divine Fire Art has a branch, which is to contract with Strange Fires. I’ll teach you later; once you practice it proficiently, you’ll be able to communicate with the Strange Fire through a method similar to soul communication. It’s something that can only be understood, not explained."

Lin Chen nodded, then worriedly asked: "Isn’t the Zhu Family’s Divine Fire Art the core technique of the Zhu Family and a secret not to be passed on? Can I, an outsider, learn it?"

Zhu Yao chuckled: "If you were an ordinary person, then definitely not. But you are the Human Emperor. All the previous Human Emperors fought for the welfare of the people. The Zhu Family could make an exception for you. After all, it’s just a branch of the Divine Fire Art and not the core."

"Great!"

Lin Chen was willing to give the Yin and Yang Ghost Fire to Zhu Yao for the sake of friendship. Now that the latter was repaying the favor, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Lin Chen took out the Water and Fire Mirror, swept up the red light, and Zhu Yao closed the barrier. The firelight immediately enveloped the leaping Yin and Yang Ghost Fire and brought it into the spatial realm.

"Can this little bit of Yin and Yang Ghost Fire still be used?"

Zhu Yao replied: "With enough spiritual energy, it shouldn’t be a problem. However, it’s like a convalescent patient now, so you shouldn’t use it too much, otherwise, it will become weaker and harder to recover."

"You said earlier that you needed to use it; what do you want to do with it?"

Lin Chen replied: "To break through the Absolute Ice Seal."

Zhu Yao widened his eyes: "Absolute Ice Seal! This is considered a forbidden technique, and only some powerful figures can execute it..."

Lin Chen nodded and answered calmly: "An elder from ancient times sealed himself in Absolute Ice Seal to avoid danger. He intended to die inside, but I promised him that I would save him."

"Ancient... Elder!"

Zhu Yao stared: "Like Elder Jiang, who is elusive and has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

"Yes, but he’s different from Elder Jiang. He was completely sealed within Absolute Ice Seal, and his body functions have been dramatically weakened due to the extreme cold, slowing down by at least dozens of times. However, by enduring until now, he’s almost exhausted."

Lin Chen asked: "Can this small fire break through the Absolute Ice Seal?"

"It might be difficult."

Zhu Yao answered straightforwardly: "It’s too weak right now. If I can help with this, I’ll come along, don’t worry. Regardless of the situation, I’ll keep my mouth shut and won’t tell anyone..."

Lin Chen readily nodded: "Alright, then you can come with me. It might take two months for the round trip."

"Travelling and having fun out of the country isn’t a waste."

Zhu Yao chuckled: "Staying at home to cultivate is the most boring. If it weren’t for my family’s disapproval, I’d wish to be out every day and never return home all year round..."

Although Xuanji Fairy was with Lin Chen and it was not convenient to travel with others, Xuanji Fairy could hide her figure, so it wasn’t a big issue.

"Alright, let’s go together."

"I’ll inform Uncle Seventeen first."

Soon, Zhu Yao returned, excitedly handing a jade slip to Lin Chen: "This is the contract technique I mentioned. Practice it when you’re free, it’s not difficult and you’ll definitely learn it easily."

"Okay, thank you!"

After bidding farewell to the Zhu Family, Lin Chen and Zhu Yao boarded the shuttle-shaped flying boat and headed south.

Zhu Yao curiously asked: "Where are we going? Can you say?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Valley of Death."
