Chapter 675: Chapter 695: A Blessing in Disguise?_1

In just three months, her condition had recovered from a fragile Nascent Soul Attached state to the late Golden Core stage. This recovery speed was genuinely horrifying.

Of course, Lin Chen was well aware of this.

He said this on purpose just to tease her, and at the same time, remind Mei Nu that her recovery to such a state was not because she was very strong, but all because he had been pouring cultivation resources into her.

Although Mei Nu’s life was in Lin Chen’s hands, and Lin Chen could control her life to make her work for him, he preferred her to understand that there was boundless potential for her future following him, so she could fight more actively and desperately for him.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s good that you didn’t waste it, otherwise, wouldn’t I be at a loss?"

Seeing Lin Chen laugh, Mei Nu suddenly relaxed.

If she had felt like she was about to die earlier, she might have given up and held her temper against Lin Chen. But after consuming so many spiritual medicines and enjoying boosts from the Shengling Pearl and Water and Fire Mirror, she completed the fusion in a short period, quickly recovering to the Late Golden Core stage. Mei Nu was incredibly excited and regarded Lin Chen as an immortal master.

Having tasted the benefits, she now became most afraid of offending Lin Chen.

With such a change in just three months, what about three years, thirty years, or even three hundred years?

Her previous strength was at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, stagnating, but now she saw hope for breaking through!

She had previously considered her earlier experiences to be incredibly unlucky, but now she felt that this might be the opportunity of her life.

"A blessing in disguise?"

In three months, she had swallowed countless spiritual medicines, so many that she lost count.

Anyway, Lin Chen had left all those seeds by her side. The effects of the Shengling Pearl and the Water and Fire Mirror persistently aided her, quickly maturing those spiritual medicines. Mei Nu then stretched out her vines to devour these relatively ordinary spiritual medicines, and then she would plant the medicine seeds herself and wait for them to ripen.

As for those spiritual medicines with a longer growth cycle and higher value, she would respectfully leave them for Lin Chen. If some were ready to be harvested, she would use her vines as tentacles to complete the process. Then, she would put them in the medicine box that Lin Chen had placed nearby, as if she were a qualified medicinal farmer.

Looking at that pile of medicine boxes, Lin Chen couldn’t help showing an excited expression on his face after checking them.

Though these spiritual medicines were not as good as Nine-Leaf Ginseng or Ninth-Grade Lotus Platforms, their age and quantity added up. The value they brought was not negligible.

Selling them all for a few hundred million spirit stones should be no problem, which is enough for him to buy several blocks of Black Iron Crow Essence.

Most importantly, during this period, he didn’t do anything. Wasn’t this a free pick up?

"Master, there’s not much spiritual energy left in the Water and Fire Mirror. During this last period, it’s been relying on the gathering spirit array to absorb the outside spiritual energy..."

Lin Chen was helpless since growing these spiritual medicines required a large amount of spiritual energy, and his own strength was leisurely, meaning the amount of stored spiritual energy inside the Water and Fire Mirror was limited.

Why not take a trip to the Snow Peak then?

And by the way, send some spiritual medicines to the Snow Dragon Leopard King, and fire a few more "sugar-coated cannonballs."

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on the Vajra Vine nearby, "You’re so big, how am I going to take you with me?"

"Just take my main body with you. These grown vines are just an appearance and not important. Once my strength is achieved, and the spiritual energy is sufficient, with the main body, I can instantly take root and sprout. I can grow as long as I want."

As Mei Nu spoke, the emerald green and lustrous Vajra Vine suddenly turned dim. At the root of the Vajra Vine, a twenty-centimeter-long Vajra Vine seedling drilled out of the soil.

Although the Vajra Vine seedling was small, it had an emerald green color so dense it seemed as if it had been frozen. Its entire body emitted a strange glow, giving it a Wu Jin metallic feel.

Mei Nu floated up and landed on Lin Chen’s palm, "When it’s time to fight, you can just throw me on the ground."

Lin Chen looked at the twenty-centimeter-long body and laughed, "Concentrated essence? It’s much more convenient to carry you like this."

Carrying Mei Nu, Lin Chen made another trip to the Mysterious Ice Mountain Range.

The Snow Dragon Leopard King was overjoyed to see Lin Chen again and cooperated in recharging the Water and Fire Mirror. Lin Chen also rewarded it with a pile of spiritual medicines.

The Snow Dragon Leopard King’s eyes widened.

When Lin Chen was about to leave, the Snow Dragon Leopard King seemed somewhat reluctant to part. It followed Lin Chen for a long distance before finally turning back.

Things were looking promising!

It seems that after a few more times and a few more spiritual fruits, the Snow Dragon Leopard King might surrender under the countless spiritual medicines made into "sugar-coated cannonballs."

After returning to Fei Pu Peak, Lin Chen began to focus on cultivating the Three-foot Sword Curtain.

Ten days later, Lin Chen appeared at Qiao Wei’s residence.

Qiao Wei was lying lazily on a soft chair, basking in the sun. Seeing Lin Chen come in, she laughed, "After several months, you finally came to visit your senior sister?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I had to make some progress before I dared to come."

Qiao Wei lazily asked, "Did you learn it?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Qiao Wei smiled, "It took you three and a half months. Although the second stage is a bit more challenging, it’s slower than your first time."

Lin Chen explained, "I spent the previous three months in closed-door cultivation, taking elixir pills, and took a trip to the Secret Realm in the middle, which delayed me for a few days. I spent only ten days actually learning the Three-foot Sword Curtain."

"Ten days?"

Qiao Wei suddenly sat up from her chair, staring at Lin Chen in shock, "You only took ten days to master the second stage?"
