Chapter 2777: The 2797th Chapter: The Burial Ground, Striking it Rich!

"A friend? What else could it be?"

Lin Chen answered without hesitation, "When we parted, we made a promise, so I just sent a message to let her know, nothing important."

Asking Gu Maduo to send the message was a calculated decision by Lin Chen.

The Myriad Immortal Hall wasn’t a place just anyone could enter, even to deliver a message; finding just any person for this task wasn’t feasible, and there was no guarantee there wouldn’t be complications. But if Gu Maduo delivered the message, those issues wouldn’t arise.

Lin Chen sending a message to Shu Zi Feng wasn’t really a big deal; he was merely informing her of his whereabouts, since once separated in the vastness of the Immortal Realm, they could be parted forever.

Over the years, Lin Chen’s various activities had provoked the Myriad Immortal Hall into issuing an Order of Ten Thousand Immortals for his capture. Shu Zi Feng, being in the Myriad Immortal Hall, was probably quite worried about her master, so sending a letter was meant to reassure her.

Lan Qiangwei looked at Lin Chen skeptically, while Lin Chen appeared calm.

Exposing the master-disciple relationship could bring her trouble if things were to go awry, right?

Lan Qiangwei and Lin Chen locked eyes for a few seconds before she looked away, a faint smile appearing on her face, her gaze somewhat intriguing.

The three waited for a while, then Tia reemerged from the dark fog.

Lin Chen stood up from the ground, dusting the yellow sand off his buttocks, and laughed, "All settled?"

Tia responded with a grunt, "Come with me."

Lin Chen was momentarily taken aback, then nodded, "Alright!"

Tia turned and started walking; Lin Chen turned his head towards Lan Qiangwei, who gestured ’go ahead’ with her hand.

Tia was asking Lin Chen to follow her, but didn’t invite the other two, so there was no need to shamelessly tag along.

Lin Chen followed Tia, and after a while, he asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

"You’ll know when we get there."

Tia answered briefly, leading the way straight ahead, and soon, they arrived at a cliff.

Underneath the cliff, there was a huge cave, into which Tia led the way.

Lin Chen followed inside and was met by a sudden vastness.

This turned out to be an immense underground space scattered with skeletal remains everywhere—upon closer inspection, all were crystal scorpions.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened as he asked in amazement, "Why are there so many crystal scorpion corpses here?"

Tia replied, "The crystal scorpions living around here come to this place when they reach the end of their lives to await death; this is their burial chamber."

"You wanted the crystal scorpions’ tail stings, right? Now there’s no need to kill them anymore; just come here and pick them up."

Lin Chen was overjoyed, having been ready to give up, he hadn’t expected such a lucky turnaround.

The bodies of the crystal scorpions were piled up, dense and numerous, filling the entire vast underground space, with unimaginable numbers. How many tail stings could this produce?

"Can I take them all, every one?"

Tia responded, "Yes, all of them. I was aware of everything you mentioned before, but having lived with them here for so long, I didn’t want them to be completely killed off. These crystal scorpions are already dead, so it doesn’t matter anymore. Take as many as you want."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Okay, then I won’t be polite."

"Go ahead, I’ll wait for you."

Lin Chen began collecting all the tail stings from the crystal scorpion corpses. After being busy for a while, he finally gathered all the stings together.

Lin Chen counted, ecstatic.

One thousand three hundred twenty-five stings!

That’s worth over ten thousand points!

I’m going to be rich!

Feeling elated by the freedom these points would bring, Lin Chen looked at the tail stings in his hands, suddenly having an idea.

The stings of these crystal scorpions were incredibly hard; even his Star Cloud Sword might not be able to cut through them, and they were incredibly sharp, easily piercing through steel.

These needle-shaped stings, due to the large size of the crystal scorpions, were several meters long each; wouldn’t they make perfect flying swords?

Gathering Immortal Island collected these stings probably for refinement, even to refine flying swords, right?

Now practicing the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art, he could manipulate thousands of flying swords, forming a Sword Realm that could break through anything, and he needed a large quantity of flying swords for this. Lin Chen indeed had many flying swords, but not enough.

If he refined all these tail stings into flying swords, and then deployed the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art, the increase in power would not be insubstantial, with his combat power multiplying greatly!

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more it made sense. Since he wouldn’t need so many tail stings just for trading in points, why not make a whole set of flying swords for himself?

After collecting all the tail stings, Lin Chen asked, "Tia, are we leaving now?"

Tia nodded, "Yes."

Lin Chen instructed, "Just quietly follow me, don’t make a fuss, and I’ll lead you out."

"Alright!"

When Lin Chen and Tia returned, Lin Chen smiled and said to the waiting pair, "Alright, we can go back now; it’s time to leave Gathering Immortal Island..."
