Chapter 773: Chapter 793: I Won’t Spare Him This Time_1

"Your speed of refining sword bones is several times faster than mine..."

In the room, Qiao Wei looked at Lin Chen, who stood up from the bathtub, her eyes full of admiration: "In just two months, you’ve not only completed the refining of the lower limb bones, but also reached the Late Golden Core stage. It seems that before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, you can fully refine all the sword bones in your body."

Unconsciously, every bone in Lin Chen’s freshly refined lower limb released sharp Sword Qi. His whole body was filled with crisscrossing Sword Qi, displaying an imposing momentum.

Up until now, Lin Chen had completed refining 126 sword bones in his upper and lower limbs.

Lin Chen wiped the sweat from his face and said with a laugh: "There are still eighty more bones to refine, but gathering the materials won’t be easy."

Qiao Wei smiled: "The speed at which you earn spirit stones is much faster than mine was back then. I spent years collecting resources just to gather enough for 158 layers. Unlike you, your wealth came flying at you, making you pretty much rich overnight."

Lin Chen chuckled and didn’t argue.

He had worked hard to grow Ling Medicine himself, and had only sold them for just over a million spirit stones. However, after killing the Sky Pirate Aurora Society, he had plundered nearly 20 million spirit stones. Then, Wang Jun had tried to trap him, but Lin Chen countered the scheme and took almost 30 million spirit stones. It indeed qualified as getting rich overnight.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Lin Chen’s Sword Qi gradually converged and returned to every sword bone.

The advantage of refining sword bones is not just about their increased hardness. After the process, each sword bone can be manipulated at will. Moreover, since the bones were originally part of the body, controlling them is even easier, faster, and more powerful than manipulating magical artifacts.

Each sword bone is like a sword.

When the Sword Bone Great Completion is achieved, Lin Chen would have 206 manipulatable flying swords at his disposal. With such power, who could get close to him?

"Let’s rest for a few days, then set off for the West Hound State Competition."

Lin Chen smiled: "With my current strength, I’m afraid I can only watch the show."

Qiao Wei didn’t mind and laughed: "It’s fine. We will watch the show together. Besides, our main goal is the Yin Yang Valley, so this is just something we can do along the way."

Lin Chen nodded: "So the competition location is on the way to Yin Yang Valley?"

"Very close, just half a day’s journey."

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Is it a coincidence, or was it arranged intentionally?

"Alright, I’ll get ready."

Lin Chen flew on his sword to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, arriving at Su Mubai’s Cave Mansion.

Su Mubai greeted Lin Chen with a smile, her body still emitting an otherworldly aura, like a celestial who had stepped out of a painting.

As Lin Chen looked at her, he smiled and congratulated her: "Congratulations on your promotion."

Su Mubai chuckled: "How did you know?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Your celestial aura is stronger than it used to be, which I assume has something to do with the cultivation technique you practice."

"Yes, I practice the ancient cultivation technique called Jade Girl Immortal Scripture. The deeper my realm, the more otherworldly and detached I become, as if I have stepped out of the mortal world. It is said to be an ancient immortal technique, but it’s just a legend. After all, throughout the tens of thousands of years, there have been countless geniuses and immortal legends in this world, yet only a few can be confirmed to be true."

Su Mubai welcomed Lin Chen into her residence, set up the tea stove, and prepared tea for her guest.

"Congratulations on officially becoming a direct disciple of the Cave Master."

Lin Chen was puzzled: "Officially?"

Su Mubai smiled: "Didn’t you know? Two months ago, the Cave Master announced to the four main sects that he had taken you as his fourth direct disciple. Now everyone in Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky knows, and many are envious."

Lin Chen laughed: "What about you? Are you envious?"

Su Mubai hesitated for a moment before smiling: "Of course I’m envious, but I’m more happy for you."

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of Murong Feng, who had pursued Su Mubai, and said with a grin: "With you being happy for me, there must be someone who is unhappy."

Su Mubai pursed her lips: "You mean Murong Feng?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Yes, the last time I came to your cave, he chased after me and started a fight. However, I broke his Sword Gourd with my Water and Fire Mirror, and he ran away in shame."

Su Mubai looked astonished, frowning: "I didn’t know about this. When we last met in Bai Tao City, why didn’t you mention it?"

With a calm expression, Lin Chen replied: "You don’t have a definite relationship with him, and the trouble he brought upon me is between him and me. There’s no need to involve you. I mention it now because I am now a direct disciple of the Cave Master. I doubt Murong Feng would have the courage to make a move on me again."

Su Mubai hesitated for a moment, then sighed and cautioned: "I heard that he has also advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and will be participating in the Xibeizhou Sect Competition. He is narrow-minded and always seeks revenge. Since you’ve once crushed his pride, he might find some reasons to target you. Be careful."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Although I am still at the Golden Core stage, my mastery over sword bones is somewhat achieved. Even without the status of a direct disciple, I have no fear of him. If he wants to come for me, let him. If he dares to take action against me, I won’t spare him this time..."
