Chapter 643: Chapter 663: This Isn’t Exploring, You’re Here to Stock Up! _1

After parting with the Snow Dragon Leopard King, Lin Chen left the Mysterious Ice Mountain Range and decided to fly towards the west.

Lin Chen suddenly missed the Lightning Marten he had given to Chu Jiaxue. If it were here, he wouldn’t have to wander aimlessly like a blind fly.

During a casual chat with Situ Xiu, Lin Chen had mentioned the Lightning Marten. Situ Xiu told Lin Chen that the Lightning Marten was intelligent, easy to tame, had impressive combat power, and most importantly, possessed an extraordinary sense of smell, making it excellent at finding spiritual medicines in the wilderness.

Perhaps the Lightning Marten could be of great help to Chu Jiaxue.

It was better for good water to not flow to someone else’s field!

Lin Chen flew at low altitude along the way, searching for spiritual medicines and other valuable items.

Most spiritual medicines and fruits, such as the Nine-Leaf Ginseng and Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform, which take hundreds or thousands of years to mature, were relatively scarce. Many other spiritual medicines and fruits only required a few years or even decades to mature, and with the Shengling Pearl, they could be fully ripened in just a few hours.

For others, those still immature and worthless spiritual medicines were not an issue for Lin Chen. Even a small seedling could be quickly transformed into a mature spiritual medicine when he came across it.

Lin Chen stopped and searched along the way, reaping abundant harvests.

Although there were very few top-tier spiritual medicines like the Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform, and most were of a similar quality to the Vermilion Blood Fruit, Lin Chen compensated for this with sheer quantity.

The amount and quality of spiritual medicines in Lin Chen’s Spatial Ring would definitely astonish many people.

His was not just an exploration but more like a resupply mission!

Lin Chen had just put a matured Black-spotted Golden Thread Fungus into a box and returned it to his Spatial Ring when a loud bang came from the distance. He looked back to see a bursting firework-like radiance lingering in the distant sky.

Lin Chen’s pupils contracted slightly, recognizing it as a distress signal that could be seen for dozens of miles. Those nearby who saw it could come to their aid.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to use the Sword Control Technique to fly towards the source of the signal.

He couldn’t completely turn a blind eye to someone in danger, so he decided to take a distant look first, save them if possible, and run away if not.

With the Sword Control Technique, it wouldn’t take long to cover dozens of miles. As Lin Chen neared the source of the signal, he reduced his altitude, slowed down, and gradually approached.

The distress signal came from a massive valley. Reaching the valley, Lin Chen found that a large group of rescuers had already arrived. They were converging in the valley, looking around for the person in distress.

Lin Chen scanned the crowd and caught sight of the ethereal white-robed figure. His gaze paused momentarily.

Su Mubai.

Unexpectedly, he had bumped into her once again.

Standing beside Su Mubai was a handsome man, none other than her persistent suitor, Murong Feng, dressed in elegant blue.

"Spread out and search, but don’t stray too far or act alone," a white-haired old man instructed as he floated in midair. His unique method of flying showcased his Nascent Soul stage or above strength, as only those who reached the Nascent Soul stage could fly with their physical bodies.

Seeing so many rescuers already, Lin Chen assumed his help wouldn’t be needed, so he planned to watch from a distance. However, just as he peeked over the mountain peak, the white-haired old man suddenly turned his head, staring sharply at Lin Chen’s location.

"Who’s hiding there?"

Lin Chen was immediately embarrassed.

Your senses are just too sharp.

With no other choice, Lin Chen used the Sword Control Technique and landed directly in the valley.

As he touched down in front of the white-haired old man, Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "I’m Lin Chen, a disciple of Feipu Peak. I saw the distress signal and came to have a look."

The old man examined Lin Chen for a moment, then nodded: "Stick with the group, don’t run around. There’s something strange going on here."

Lin Chen agreed and then descended towards the crowd.

When Su Mubai saw Lin Chen, a look of surprise and delight flashed across her cold face: "Lin Chen, you’re here too?"

Before Lin Chen could respond, he felt a sharp gaze filled with scrutiny and suspicion from the side.

There was no doubt in Lin Chen’s mind that the gaze came from Murong Feng, the sycophant.

Though Lin Chen had no desire to get into trouble, he had done nothing wrong with Su Mubai. It wouldn’t be right to ignore her greeting, right?

Considering Lin Chen had saved her, shouldn’t Murong Feng be grateful to him as well?

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I happened to be nearby and saw the distress signal, so I came to help."

Murong Feng looked at Lin Chen suspiciously, then turned to Su Mubai and asked, "Sister Su, do you know him?"

Su Mubai hesitated for a moment, knowing Murong Feng’s temperament and considering how to respond without causing trouble for Lin Chen.

Although she didn’t like Murong Feng, she couldn’t stop his relentless pursuit nor prevent him from targeting others.

She couldn’t just kill him because he liked her, could she?

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "I was being chased by a Snow Dragon Leopard before, and Miss Su happened to pass by. She killed the Snow Dragon Leopard for me and saved my life ..."
