Chapter 657: Chapter 677: Mysteriously Feeling a Bit Heartbroken _1

Since Yue Shanhe wanted to express his gratitude, Lin Chen didn’t hold back.

Lin Chen hadn’t planned on joining the Ten Thousand Swords Sect anyway, so since he had helped them and brought Elder Su’s body back, wasn’t it natural justice to receive a reward?

Yue Shanhe was stunned, and spoke with a hint of helplessness: "Black Iron Crow Essence is rarer than Magical Treasures. Over the years, your Senior Sister Qiao Wei has tried various methods to collect all the Black Iron Crow Essences from the Hengshan Cave Sky. Even though I want to give it to you, I don’t have any. How about you change your request?"

Yue Shanhe’s expression was subtly strange. He had voluntarily offered to reward Lin Chen, but now that Lin Chen had made his request, he couldn’t fulfill it, making things a bit awkward.

Lin Chen was also taken aback, Qiao Wei had collected all the Black Iron Crow Essence in the Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky?

What should he do now?

Lin Chen said with a smile: "I don’t really lack other things either, so if that’s the case, let’s drop it. After all, I just happened to come across this matter, and running this errand wasn’t a big deal. In consideration of Miss Su’s face, I should make the effort anyway."

Standing by, Su Dingbo thought for a moment: "The whole Hengshan Cave Sky knows that cultivating the Three-foot Sword Curtain requires Sword Bones and Black Iron Crow Essence. We also don’t have any extra Black Iron Crow Essence here, but other Cave Sky Blessed Lands might have some and be willing to trade. I’m going to attend a gathering of cultivators soon, I’ll try my best to see if I can help you buy some."

A gathering of cultivators?

Lin Chen was stunned: "Didn’t our Cave World close its doors?"

Now that Lin Chen was Qiao Wei’s personal disciple, learning her unique skills, his status was on par with the other Sect Masters, which naturally granted him a different say in matters. At least, he could ask questions openly without having to hide anything.

Though his strength was weaker, once his seniority and status were established, everything became easier.

Yue Shanhe replied: "Closing the Cave World is for ordinary people and disciples, but necessary activities still need to be participated in. Each Cave World has Secret Realms for obtaining cultivation resources, but the types of resources vary, so trades are always needed to exchange for the corresponding resources."

Pausing for a moment, Yue Shanhe said with a laugh: "Although you’re new here, since you’ve become Senior Sister Qiao’s disciple, you’re naturally different from ordinary disciples. If you want to go out, just talk to Senior Sister Qiao. As long as she agrees, it’s fine."

Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised: Qiao Wei could allow him to leave?

He had thought that he wouldn’t be able to leave for who knows how many years after entering the Cave World, but now he had entered and not only did the Cave Master become his uncle, but Qiao Wei also became his Senior Sister, and she still wanted to teach him the unique skill, Three-foot Sword Curtain?

Yue Shanhe turned to Su Mubai with a smile: "Mubai, since you and Lin Chen are acquainted, why don’t you show him around and be a good host?"

Su Mubai respectfully replied: "Yes, Sect Master."

Lin Chen and Su Mubai left the Ten Thousand Swords Hall. Su Mubai smiled and said, "Come to my place for a while."

"Sure!"

As Lin Chen and Su Mubai walked, Lin Chen suddenly whispered, "Condolences."

Su Mubai’s voice was calm: "When my grandpa entered the Secret Realm, the Spiritual Rhinoceros Storm started and he didn’t come back. Everyone knew he must have encountered something fatal, as the Spiritual Rhinoceros Storm is deadly to cultivators. We originally thought there would be no trace of his corpse, but now that you’ve brought him back, it’s good for his remains to have a resting place."

Lin Chen nodded, "Has your Su family been in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for generations?"

Su Mubai nodded: "Those with talent naturally join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Those without talent still live at the foot of the mountain."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "That’s nice, you can always go down the mountain to be with your family."

Su Mubai looked at Lin Chen: "How is your family now?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "My parents are in the Kunlun Mountain Cave Heaven. Since I was born, they suffered an injury due to some changes and were taken away by others. I was raised by a friend of my father’s."

Su Mubai was a little surprised: "Have you seen them yet?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Not yet."

Su Mubai looked sympathetic: "I’m sorry."

Lin Chen laughed heartily: "It’s just been twenty-eight years. For an ordinary person, it’s indeed a long time, but for cultivators, it isn’t. There will be plenty of time to meet in the future."

Su Mubai looked at Lin Chen’s smiling face and felt inexplicably heartbroken and admired for him.

The two walked around the mountain for a while and then took off using their Sword Control Technique.

Su Mubai’s residence was located in a bamboo grove, consisting of three simple wooden houses – a kitchen, a bedroom, and a quiet room for daily cultivation or refining pills.

In front of the wooden houses, various vegetables and fruits were planted. With their bright red and green colors, they were very pleasing to the eye. Further away, there was a lotus pond, with lotus leaves waving in the wind and a faint scent of flowers in the air.

Su Mubai set up a stove by the vegetable garden and began to make tea for Lin Chen, casually chatting with him.

Just as they were chatting happily, a familiar voice of Murong Feng came from outside the bamboo forest.

"Sister Su, Sister Su, are you there?"

Lin Chen turned his head and smiled: "A guest has come."

Su Mubai furrowed her brow: "A bit annoying."
