Chapter 659: Chapter 679: This Guy is Really a Bit Annoying _1

"If you include the Nine-Leaf Ginseng, maybe you could get one piece, but with the others, you’d be lucky to get even half a piece."

There was a subtle flicker in Su Mubai’s eyes, tinged with some hidden sympathy.

The Three-foot Sword Curtain is indeed formidable, but the amount of cultivation resources it requires is enormous!

As far as Su Mubai knew, Qiao Wei had gone to extreme lengths to make spirit stones and buy Black Iron Crow Essence and other corresponding cultivation resources, resorting to all sorts of shady tactics.

She had entered secret realms to kill demonic beasts and search for Ling Medicine, wagered spirit stones in gambles and duels, borrowed spirit stones from the cave owner without any intention of returning them, and so on. This made people scared of her, and even the cave owner who had cared for her for a while now felt a headache every time she came around, always sensing that his wallet was about to shrink.

Lin Chen, as a newcomer who came from the human world, had already made impressive progress by reaching the early Golden Core stage at such a young age. However, he had no background whatsoever, so how could he possibly earn such vast amounts of resources for cultivation purposes?

Though Qiao Wei was formidable, she had a mountain of debt and could barely fend for herself. How could she possibly have the resources to help her junior disciple?

Leaving Qiao Wei aside, Lin Chen had only himself to rely on. However, the mere thought of amassing such vast amounts of resources to cultivate his sword bones seemed like a dream for one person alone!

Even if he were to accumulate them bit by bit, how much time would that ultimately take?

Two hundred years?

Five hundred years?

She already foresaw the disappointment that might appear on Lin Chen’s face, for the price of so many Ling Medicines was incredibly steep, yet they could barely fetch half a piece, let alone a whole one. How could he not feel disheartened about the road ahead?

Lin Chen smiled.

"Without the Nine-Leaf Ginseng, if it can fetch me half a piece, then that’s quite good."

Looking at the refreshingly confident smile on Lin Chen’s face, Su Mubai’s expression turned slightly dazed.

He could still manage to smile?

Had he not made himself clear enough?

Unable to help himself, Su Mubai reminded Lin Chen, "I won’t talk about the dangers of entering a secret realm, as we’ve already experienced that when encountering the Tree Demon, and you went through it personally. What I want to say is that the reason you gained so much this time is because the secret realm just experienced the 10-year Spirit Rhinoceros Storm, which is why there were so many Ling Medicines. Once this first wave of exploration ends, it would be much harder to find what you need. You can’t expect such abundant harvests every time you go in."

Lin Chen smiled, "I know, and I know that it will be even more difficult in the future, but as long as there is a cost associated, there will be ways to accumulate slowly, and it won’t be an endless wait. Besides, I’ve always had good luck. It won’t be a problem."

Su Mubai looked at Lin Chen for a moment and then laughed, "That’s true. As long as one is alive and continuously striving, the day to gather everything will eventually come."

Having finished their tea and reached an agreement on the elixir, Lin Chen got up and took his leave.

"The elixir will take some time to refine, I’ll send you a message when it’s ready."

"Alright!"

Su Mubai personally saw Lin Chen off for quite a distance, not stopping until Lin Chen used his Sword Control Technique to soar into the air and disappeared down the mountain. Only then did Su Mubai turn back to his residence.

Not far away in the woods, Murong Feng appeared using his Sword Control Technique, his handsome face pale with fury.

He was the son of the Deputy Sect Master of the Flying Crane Sect and was the most talented cultivation genius among the young disciples in Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky. His position was special, and his infatuation with Su Mubai was common knowledge. As such, he frequently came to visit Su Mubai and had grown familiar enough with her to enter her residence without needing permission.

He had come to see Su Mubai with great excitement, intending to inform her that he had received permission to attend the upcoming Cultivation World Trade Conference together with her.

However, after shouting for half a day at Su Mubai’s residence and receiving no response, he returned to ask around only to find out that Lin Chen had arrived and she had accompanied him all over the place, before eventually returning to her residence.

Both of them were at her residence, but they had completely ignored him!

Murong Feng’s head seemed as if it would explode with anger!

The scene of Lin Chen wrapping his arms around Su Mubai’s waist and her close embrace flashed through his mind. Thinking about what the two of them might be doing inside her Array Formation-enclosed residence, Murong Feng’s eyes turned red with rage.

He hid not far from Su Mubai’s residence, waiting there.

Watching Su Mubai accompany Lin Chen the whole way, her eyes remaining on his figure for a long time even after Lin Chen disappeared, Murong Feng was burning with jealousy, and he wished he could kill Lin Chen right away.

He restrained himself!

He knew that if he were to confront Lin Chen at this moment, regardless of what he would say or do, it would only cause Su Mubai to loathe him even more.

After Su Mubai returned to the Array Formation, Murong Feng took off on his sword and chased after Lin Chen, rushing down the mountain.

Lin Chen had only just left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect when Murong Feng caught up to him from behind.

"Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen turned his head to see Murong Feng’s sinister expression and immediately realized that this guy had been waiting outside all this time, seeing him off the premises.

Just as Su Mubai had said, this guy was indeed rather annoying!
