Chapter 639: Chapter 659: Risking My Life for Only Half the Share? _1

"Boom!"

While Lin Chen was flying aimlessly, a loud rumble suddenly came from the distance. He looked up and saw the flash of a flying sword speeding through the air. It seemed that a battle was taking place.

Curious, Lin Chen controlled his sword and flew towards it.

With his Golden Core Realm cultivation and the huge amount of spiritual energy his Water and Fire Mirror had absorbed, Lin Chen felt very confident.

Moreover, he also had a Distress Talisman on him.

Passing over a hilltop, Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

On the ground lay a huge Snow Ape, which seemed to be dead. Next to the Snow Ape, four people were standing, and one person lay nearby on the ground.

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over them, and he was surprised to see Liu Yuan among the group. The others were three young men and a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man who had fallen had a large bloodstain on the chest and appeared to be seriously injured.

As Lin Chen noticed them, the people on the ground also saw him.

Liu Yuan’s face changed, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

Lin Chen!

It was a narrow road for enemies indeed, and they had run into each other here.

Lin Chen hadn’t expected to meet Liu Yuan here, so he frowned and prepared to leave.

However, Liu Yuan suddenly shouted, "Lin Chen, wait!"

Lin Chen turned to look at her and said, "I don’t think there’s much for us to talk about. Unless you plan to take the opportunity to deal with me here?"

Liu Yuan shook her head, "Come down, let’s talk about cooperation... Sixth-grade Lotus Platform."

Lin Chen had not planned to deal with Liu Yuan, but the four words "Sixth-grade Lotus Platform" caught his attention.

The Lotus Platform was a top-grade spirit medicine, and each additional leaf corresponded to one grade. The highest was the Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform, which was somewhat similar to the Nine-Leaf Ginseng, but the Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform was much more precious.

A Sixth-grade Lotus Platform, although not a Ninth-grade, was already a highly valued spirit medicine.

Moreover, Lin Chen had a Shengling Pearl that could catalyze medicines. If he could get his hands on the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform, he could completely turn it into a Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform, increasing its value tenfold or more as top-grade spirit medicine.

Lin Chen descended and asked calmly, "What’s the situation?"

Seeing Lin Chen coming down, Liu Yuan was secretly delighted but did not show it on her face: "We found a Sixth-grade Lotus Platform."

Lin Chen asked, "Is it guarded by a demonic beast?"

Liu Yuan nodded, "Yes, there is a Snow Dragon Leopard guarding it, with a strength around the Early Golden Core Stage."

Snow Dragon Leopard?

Lin Chen snickered in his heart but appeared doubtful on the surface: "Golden Core Early Stage? Are you not able to stop it?"

Liu Yuan bitterly pointed to the unconscious middle-aged man on the ground, "He is our Senior Uncle, Nascent Soul Early Stage, and originally there was no problem, but a Snow Ape suddenly appeared, and in order to kill it, our Senior Uncle was seriously injured. We are all at the Foundation Building stage and have no way to resist the Snow Dragon Leopard..."

Lin Chen remained expressionless, "So what do you want to do?"

"Let’s cooperate."

Liu Yuan looked at Lin Chen eagerly, "You are at the Golden Core Stage, and it is definitely not a problem to deal with the Snow Dragon Leopard. You will be responsible for luring the Snow Dragon Leopard away, and then we will take the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform after that. Afterwards, we split it equally between the two sides, half for each party, okay?"

Lin Chen pretended to be reluctant, "Risking my life for just half?"

Liu Yuan retorted, "That place is very hidden. If I didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t be able to find it. You wouldn’t be getting anything. All you have to do is lure the Snow Dragon Leopard away to get half, not a bad deal."

Lin Chen laughed, "Such a good deal, but instead of finding someone from your own Ten Thousand Images Sect, you find an outsider like me. Especially since we have quite a bit of conflict, it’s hard for me to believe."

Liu Yuan said anxiously, "My Senior Uncle is seriously injured, and we must send him back immediately, so we don’t have time to delay. If we wait until we go back and find someone, it might fall into someone else’s hands."

Lin Chen held a skeptical attitude towards what Liu Yuan said.

Either everything Liu Yuan said was a lie, and the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform was just a trap meant for him, or the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform really existed, and they could not retrieve it, which is why they let him be the bait.

If he was killed by the demonic beast guarding the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform, they could vent their anger and get the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform, killing two birds with one stone.

Lin Chen decided to go and take a look.

He would first observe from a distance and then decide whether to approach.

"You’re sure the Snow Dragon Leopard is guarding the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform?"

Liu Yuan swore without hesitation, "Yes, it really is the Snow Dragon Leopard guarding the Sixth-grade Lotus Platform. If I’m lying, may I be possessed by demons!"

This oath was no light matter for a cultivator. Lin Chen agreed readily, "Alright, tell me the location, and I’ll go take a look."

Liu Yuan turned and instructed one of her senior brothers to stay nearby with their unconscious and seriously injured Senior Uncle. She and the other two senior brothers led Lin Chen forward.

After passing several large mountains, Liu Yuan stopped on a mountain peak, hiding her figure and pointing to a hidden spot in a canyon in the distance.

"The Sixth-grade Lotus Platform is there, and the cave next to it is the Snow Dragon Leopard’s lair."
