Chapter 1380: Chapter 1400: Refining the Sword Bone, The Road Never Ends_1

It has to be said, Meng Gongxin’s decision greatly resonated with Lin Chen’s usual approach.

Can a person win throughout an entire lifetime?

Losing is not the issue. The important thing is being able to run away after losing, and having a chance to rise again. Winning once, losing a hundred times, but managing to escape every time, that’s not a problem, because there will be other chances to win. But if you win a hundred times, then lose once, and can’t escape, the game is over completely and there’s no future.

The Chasing Light Boots, a speed-boosting treasure that can significantly increase Lin Chen’s movement speed, coupled with his Shrinking Earth Technique, will multiply his speed.

The Qilin Cloak, a defensive treasure. On the black cloak, a Qilin is engraved, lifelike and vibrant. It is said it was refined from a Qilin’s True Soul and can provide great defense. It can also summon the Qilin True Soul to fight, its combat power is comparable to that of a True Immortal. As for how long it can fight, that depends on the strength of the owner.

The Great Displacement Order, an escape treasure, is not comparable to the Great Displacement Order used in Barren Wilderness by Lin Chen. Or it could be said, the Great Displacement Order used in Barren Wilderness can be considered an imitation - the effect is similar but efficacy is far beneath.

When the Great Displacement Order is activated, unless the opposition has supreme methods, it can ignore illusions and traps, allowing for spatial displacement up to three hundred miles, it’s truly a lifesaving Divine Artifact.

"Thank you. With these three treasures, I’ll have even more assurance of escape."

Seeing Lin Chen laughs happily, Meng Gongxin says, "Safety first. You are still young. There’s no need to compete over temporary gains and losses. Given enough time, who can compare to you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s exactly what I think."

After bidding farewll to Meng Gongxin, Lin Chen returned to the Heavenly Sword Peak to break the news of his departure to Su Wu.

Su Wu nonchalantly said, "It’s good to go for a walk. Hunkering down here won’t lead to anything. All the famous geniuses in history have experienced various dangers and encountered various opportunities. Nobody has ever achieved greatness solely through diligent practice."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Aren’t you going out, Uncle Wu?"

Su Wu laughed, "My talent is limited, this is my situation for this life. I’m alone, without relatives or friends. Going out is just the same. I might as well enjoy the peace here."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’ve taken in four people. This time I will take two with me and leave two behind. If there’s anything you need, you can order them around."

Su Wu nodded, "They’ve all consumed the Immortal Yuan Dan and prolonged their lives for ten thousand years. The gap they have left to becoming an Immortal is small. They just need to endure a Thunder Tribulation, temper their bodies, replace them with Immortal Spirit Qi, to officially become an Immortal."

Lin Chen casually asked, "This Thunder Tribulation, I’m afraid it’s different from the normal Thunder Tribulation for ascension, right? Their current realm can no longer lead to a Thunder Tribulation..."

Su Wu laughed, "That’s indeed the hard part. However, there are strange places in the world. For example, Thunderous Caves full of Thunder Power are extremely suitable for their condition. Of course, other methods exist as well; it all depends on their luck."

Lin Chen was not in a hurry. He’s already fulfilled his promises to them and owed them nothing. He will not deliberately help them. However, if there was such an opportunity, Lin Chen would gladly lend them a helping hand.

"Enjoy your tea slowly. I will go and comprehend more."

Lin Chen went back into the room, took out the strange stone tablet, and started studying it.

Even a common scorpion, after consuming a bit of the powder, could grow into a powerful being able to contend with Human Immortals. If he could absorb all the special materials in this stone tablet, how tough could his body become?

The material of the stone tablet was very hard, but Lin Chen easily chopped a small portion off with a captured battle axe.

It wasn’t as hard as I thought.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Chen held the stone that appeared like raw mineral ore in his hand, and began to operate his refining method in the same way he had refined Sword Bone to absorb Black Iron Crow Essence.

Soon, Lin Chen felt a subtle change in the stone in his hand.

Lin Chen felt as if he established a mysterious link with it. It’s inner composition was like a starry sky - a dark night illuminated by countless dazzling stars, shimmering like a star river.

As Lin Chen operated his refining method, these shining stars seemed to be pulled by a black hole, swiftly moving until they left the stone and entered Lin Chen’s body. Then, under Lin Chen’s control, they entered his index finger bone.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. It actually worked!

What’s the effect? Well, it doesn’t matter. Let’s try it first.

A common scorpion could become so powerful, and Lin Chen, after all, has a much better foundation than a scorpion; he wouldn’t be unable to withstand something a scorpion could, would he?

In one day, Lin Chen completely absorbed the special mineral substance in that part of the stone tablet. The once tough stone that emitted a black light had now become dull and lightless, akin to a chunk of yellow earth.

With a light squeeze from Lin Chen, the stone shattered into numerous grains of sand.

Lin Chen held up his hand, carefully observing his index finger.

The bone, which was originally wrapped in dark red blood and gold, had turned completely black, even blacker and shinier than the scorpion shell seen by Lin Chen!

Lin Chen swung his left hand, a sharp sword Qi cut directly onto the flesh of his right index finger. The flesh was cut open, and when the sword Qi struck the bone, there was a crisp "ding" sound.

No damage at all!
