Chapter 2232: Chapter 2252: Special Bet_1

Yin-Yang Spring?

Water and Fire Mirror?

Choose one?

Lin Chen’s heart sank as his mind raced with thoughts.

The other party was just a Primordial Spirit projection, and their combat power wouldn’t be too strong. Relying on the Linglong Tower, he should be able to escape, but what then?

Since the other party was able to arrive in this world silently, it was evident that they had a mastery of space supernatural abilities. Coming back here or to the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain should not be difficult for them.

Could I evade him?

Lin Chen didn’t know what kind of terrifying methods such a powerful being might possess, but his intuition told him that if the other party was intent on finding him, he most likely wouldn’t be able to hide.

Escape would not solve the problem, so now he had to face the choice.

Lin Chen looked at the middle-aged man and calmly asked, "Senior, must I choose?"

The middle-aged man smiled, "Yes, one for one, it’s fair, isn’t it?"

After pausing, the middle-aged man answered leisurely, "I can tell you very responsibly that the Yin Yang Realm is extremely rare. I’ve traveled through countless worlds and have only seen a few. What’s more, for Yin Yang Qi to condense into a spring is even rarer. With your current strength, if you miss this Yin-Yang Spring, I’m afraid that until your death, you might not be able to find another."

Lin Chen nodded and said decisively, "In that case, let’s make the exchange. I’ll take the Yin-Yang Spring, and you can take the Water and Fire Mirror..."

"Wait!"

Lu Yao interrupted Lin Chen, "You haven’t asked for my opinion yet."

Lin Chen turned and smiled, "As good as the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Realm may be, it is after all just a treasure, an inanimate object, whereas you are a living person. If we hadn’t found the Yin-Yang Spring, that would be one thing, but since we have found it, how can we give it up?"

"Old Lu, don’t forget, you are Daluo Initial Immortal, very impressive. After I cure you, I’m counting on you to cover for me. I’m hoping to rely on you, Old Lu. Is the Water and Fire Mirror more powerful than a living Daluo Initial Immortal? I’ve thought this through."

Lu Yao’s gaze was complex. He opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say. After a few seconds of silence, he turned to the middle-aged man, "Since you’ve decided to take the Water and Fire Mirror, you should at least leave a name, right?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Do you plan to heal and then find me to take back the mirror?"

Lu Yao nodded frankly, "That is the idea."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, then turned to Lin Chen, "As you said, the method to manipulate the Water and Fire Mirror has been lost. Even if I take the mirror now, at most I can only manipulate water and fire, which might be very useful to you, but for me, it’s not of much use."

"Yin Yang Qi is born of Heaven and Earth. Although I forged the well and turned it into a spring, to say the Yin-Yang Spring entirely belongs to me would be a stretch. So here’s what we’ll do. Since you’ve chosen the Yin-Yang Spring, I’ll give it to you. The Water and Fire Mirror will also stay with you for now. If I find the method to manipulate the mirror in the future, I will take it. However, if you find the method, it will show that you are truly destined for it, and it will still belong to you. Should this happen, our agreement today will be void. How does that sound?"

Lin Chen was slightly stunned; he had thought he would lose the Water and Fire Mirror today, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn. The other party had backed down a step and given him a choice.

Although compared to the other party’s capabilities, his were much lesser, and if the lost controlling method still existed, the other party was far more likely to find it, Lin Chen still had a chance.

Lin Chen clasped his hands and said, "Senior, thank you for the concession. Then as you said, whoever finds the method of control first will own the mirror."

The middle-aged man smiled, "If that’s the case, I’ll leave a mark on you to make it easier to find you. Of course, if you have a special matter, you can also contact me through this mark, because after all, I would not want the Water and Fire Mirror to fall into other hands."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up. Did the middle-aged man mean he could come to his aid if he encountered danger?

Even though all this was because of the Water and Fire Mirror, the other party could have taken it without doing anything. This aroused some suspicion in Lin Chen, "Senior, you could have simply taken the mirror directly. Why go to such lengths...?"

"An unnecessary move, is that what you’re thinking?"

The middle-aged man smiled, "The Water and Fire Mirror belonged to an old friend of mine. I was there in the Immortal Realm when it made its name. I was prepared to reclaim it directly, but after hearing how you came to possess it, I feel that you truly have a destiny with it, and so I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself."

"If you can find the control method, then you will inherit it. If you cannot, and I find it, then I will take the mirror back. And considering my friend’s relationship with the mirror, I can offer you some additional help, but only once, meaning I will only help you resolve one crisis."

"If even with this you still cannot keep it, and the mirror is taken by someone else, I will directly retrieve the mirror from them, regardless of whether you are still alive or not. From that point on, the mirror will have nothing to do with you..."
