Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1959: Chapter 1960: The Situation Has Changed

Lin Chen had a premonition that if he refined a large amount of this purple crystal stone, his divine essence would gradually transform, eventually becoming as fiery as the divine essence contained in this purple crystal stone. When used against enemies, its power would definitely increase significantly!

Lin Chen didn’t realize that his assumption was actually very close to the truth.

In the Divine Realm, the cultivation of martial artists primarily depends on divine crystals. However, when one’s cultivation reaches a certain level, the energy within can change and develop in different directions, such as flame attributes or ice attributes.

At that time, one would encounter different kinds of divine crystals. Unlike the pure white divine crystals seen now, there are other divine crystals with varied attributes in the world, and due to these different attributes, their colors also vary.

The purple divine crystal in Lin Chen’s hand belonged to the fire attribute type and was of high quality.

By common standards, Lin Chen’s current level as a martial artist of the seventh stage should have been far from meeting the requirements to use fire attribute divine crystals. However, due to the existence of Xiao Lian in his Dantian, everything became uncertain.

Ever since Xiao Lian absorbed the spiritual liquid from the celestial pool, it seemed to have gained great benefits, becoming more solid and speeding up the devouring and refining process significantly.

It was perhaps due to Xiao Lian’s transformation that Lin Chen, at the seventh stage of a martial artist, could keenly detect the energy within the fire attribute divine crystal and, with Xiao Lian’s help, devour it.

Feeling the extremely faint, fiery energy still present within his meridians, Lin Chen knew that this mysterious purple crystal stone was of great use to him!

Looking at the large pile of purple crystal stones before him, Lin Chen unceremoniously collected them all into his storage ring. He then retrieved several jade bottles and almost completely filled them with the purple liquid from the pond.

”I suppose the Iron Tail Tiger may have discovered this mystical place, which is why its cultivation advanced so quickly!”

”This crystal stone is similar to divine crystals, so let’s call it a purple crystal for now! With so many purple crystals, this should be a small vein of purple crystals!”

Without any reservation, Lin Chen looted ninety percent of the purple crystal stones and filled up eight to nine-tenths of the purple spiritual liquid. On one hand, he thought it wise to leave some of this treasure of heaven and earth to avoid depleting it completely; on the other hand, he simply didn’t have that many jade bottles left. He could sense that this purple liquid was more effective than the purple divine crystal!

After taking stock, Lin Chen obtained several hundred pieces of purple crystals and ten bottles of purple crystal liquid.

”No wonder they say that the strongest always train outside; indeed, opportunities lie in the outside world!”

He had not even left the sect, and Lin Chen had already gained such treasures, solidifying his resolve to venture out for further training.

”I wonder how Mo Wan’er and Li Ping are progressing with their task. I don’t want to return to the sect now, so I’ll have them take some verification materials back for me, so I won’t need to return. I’ll begin my training from this Heavenly Sword Mountain range!”

Having made up his mind, Lin Chen was in no hurry to refine the excessive purple crystals. He directly exited the cave and flew towards the outer area of the Yinfeng Mountain range.

Since he was eager to start his training, Lin Chen moved at great speed, quickly arriving at the spot where he had separated from Mo Wan’er and Li Ping, but he didn’t see them.

Frowning, Lin Chen couldn’t help but wonder:

”I spent quite some time killing a group of Iron Tail Tigers. How come these two haven’t finished collecting their herbs? Could something have happened?”

Just then, Lin Chen suddenly sensed several extremely strong auras not far away. His divine sense quickly scanned the area, and his face immediately turned grim.

”So it’s you! I wasn’t looking for you, and yet you dare to deliver yourself to my door!”

With that, lightning flashed beneath Lin Chen’s feet, and he transformed into a swift phantom, dashing forward.

At this moment, in a dense forest, Mo Wan’er and Li Ping wore expressions of panic as they looked at the people before them. Mo Wan’er’s face was even breaking out in cold sweat.

Li Ping managed to appear calmer but was still somewhat pale. He knew that none of the people in front of them were opponents he could defeat.

”Everyone, it seems we haven’t offended you, right? Why block us here?”

”Indeed! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because your cultivation is higher?”

Upon hearing Li Ping’s words, Mo Wan’er couldn’t help but chime in as well.

In response to their words, those people merely smiled slightly. One of the men, who had only one arm, spoke viciously:

”Hehe! You two are really naive! Li Ping and Mo Wan’er, right? Haha, you don’t need to worry about so much. Anyway, today, the two of you are destined to die here, but before that, you can enjoy a good show!”

This person was none other than Qian Jin, who had quite a bit of history with Lin Chen.

Earlier, upon learning that Lin Chen came to the Yinfeng Mountains for a mission and had brought two friends, Qian Jin realized his opportunity had arrived. To ensure nothing went wrong, he gathered all the other top four external experts as well.

After their trip to the Celestial Pool, shortly thereafter, Chu Hanrou successfully broke through to the ninth stage of a martial artist, thanks to the rewards from the sect’s grand competition, as well as more than a month of intensive training.

This meant that three ninth-stage martial artists and two eighth-stage martial artists were dispatched. In Qian Jin’s view, regardless of Lin Chen’s abilities, he was bound to fall into their hands.

Moreover, they currently held hostages.

To prevent Lin Chen from escaping, they didn’t immediately search for him but instead captured Mo Wan’er and Li Ping, planning to force Lin Chen to rescue his friends so they could capture him in one fell swoop.

Li Ping was not a weakling either; he immediately said:

”Qian Jin! You captured us without a reason. If we report this to the sect, you will be punished for harming disciples!”

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin raised an eyebrow, but a cruel smile soon returned to his face:

”Hehe! Once I kill you both here, who will ever think it was me? The top five external experts pursuing a fourth-stage martial artist and a third-stage one? Who would believe such a thing?”

”You!”

”Why are you doing this?”

Li Ping couldn’t help but ask with a frown, though he faintly sensed the reason in his heart.

”Hehe, you ask me why?” Qian Jin replied with a cold laugh.
