Chapter 587: Chapter 607: Immortal Corpse _1

"Have we met before?"

Han Qinglei’s words made Lin Chen a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down.

If he had really recognized him, he wouldn’t be speaking like this.

Isn’t it normal to have a sense of familiarity? After all, Han Qinglei hated Lin Chen to the bone...

"I usually stay in Xin Hai and haven’t been out much. We probably haven’t met."

Han Qinglei nodded with a smile and said, "I just thought you looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place you. I’m sorry."

Lin Chen trembled inside, thinking ’You must never remember, or else there will be trouble, not to mention ruining my cultivation state.’

Opportunities to cultivate in such a place with rich spiritual energy are rare in the human world.

"It’s alright. There are many people in the world who look alike. Sometimes you may have that feeling when seeing a stranger."

False alarm!

In the following days, there were no more hiccups, and Lin Chen’s strength steadily increased.

When the ice in the lake was getting thinner and the mining teams of the three factions could see each other, Lin Chen’s strength finally reached its peak.

Innate Grandmaster Peak!

Can’t rise anymore!

Lin Chen was overjoyed and began to ponder the use of the Breaking Yuan Pill. With so many people here, and the existence of cultivators in the Cave World, he obviously dared not use it.

Breaking through the realm with the Breaking Yuan Pill requires a huge amount of spiritual energy and will cause great Heavenly Phenomena.

If he broke through here, wouldn’t that be seeking death?

Lin Chen concealed his strength and continued to break the ice. He also wanted to see what kind of magical treasure the Water and Fire Mirror was and why it was so powerful.

"There’s a body here!"

Someone shouted excitedly in the distance.

Ji Yusheng and the other three swept down like wind and rushed towards the shouting place. The surrounding people also stopped their work and swarmed over.

Is the Water and Fire Mirror going to be discovered?

Lin Chen also joined the crowd, curious about the situation, and besides, not going over would make him look unusual.

A large chunk of ice had been chiseled out and laid on the ice surface. A middle-aged man in a robe was inside the ice, looking lifelike with a pale face.

Ji Yusheng and the others reached the ice. The middle-aged man from Beiyue Changshan Cave World, Jia Quanhai, walked forward, identified the body, and said excitedly, "It’s Water-Fire True Man Liu Quan! The rumors are true; he really fell here."

The beautiful young woman from Lingxu Waste Ruin, Qu Xuehua, said solemnly, "Melt the ice and take a look."

Jia Quanhai laughed, "Let’s agree first, we found this from our Changshan Cave World, so everything should belong to us."

Qu Xuehua frowned, slightly unwillingly, "If we find the Water and Fire Mirror, it’ll naturally belong to you, but other things should belong to both of our factions."

The young man from Dongyue Taishan Cave World, Zhou Wuyuan, chimed in, "Our previous agreement was only for the Water and Fire Mirror; other things are not included. If you obtain the Water and Fire Mirror, you can’t let us go empty-handed."

Jia Quanhai agreed readily, "Fine, the Water and Fire Mirror belongs to me, and everything else is yours."

Zhou Wuyuan stopped talking nonsense and said directly, "Melt the ice."

Jia Quanhai stepped forward, "I’ll do it."

Jia Quanhai placed his hands on the ice, and surprisingly, flames erupted directly from his hands. These flames, seemingly alive, transformed into two ropes, extending and wrapping around the ice.

Under the entanglement of the two flames, the ice quickly melted.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Is this an Immortal technique?

Although Lin Chen was also amazed, he didn’t feel too envious.

In the end, it’s just a different application of spiritual energy.

It’s like water turning into electricity, and electricity turning into light—analogous logic.

The essence of cultivation is all about the absorption and transformation of energy, presenting different effects.

While those flames were astonishing, they were not capable of injuring him.

They could be extinguished by one punch!

The ice quickly melted, revealing the body of Water-Fire True Man Liu Quan. Surprisingly, despite not knowing how long he had been dead, his body was lifelike without any signs of decay.

Jia Quanhai removed a Spatial Ring from Liu Quan’s hand and, in front of the others, wiped away the prohibition, revealing all the items inside.

Elixirs, medicinal materials, clothing, flying swords, and such were scattered on the ground.

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they stared intently at the pile of items.

These items should all be valuable, right?

Unfortunately, they didn’t belong to Lin Chen.

Jia Quanhai and the others eyed the pile of items without much concern. Among them were many good items, but they didn’t seem to care.

After searching through the items once, Jia Quanhai’s face darkened, while Qu Xuehua and Zhou Wuyuan showed delight.

The Water and Fire Mirror wasn’t in the Spatial Ring!

The Water and Fire Mirror was somewhere else!

Zhou Wuyuan turned around and shouted, "The Water and Fire Mirror is still at the bottom of the lake. Keep digging; whoever helps me find it will not only be allowed to join a team to enter the Cave World but also be accepted into the sect and embark on the path of cultivation towards immortality!"
