Chapter 1958 - 1959: Strange Purple Flame
As Lin Chen unleashed the Sword Break, the two Iron Tail Tigers immediately sensed the danger and tried to retreat, but Lin Chen was not about to let that happen."Hmph! You're trying to run!"
Lin Chen's aura surged again, and the Sword Qi's speed increased as it slashed across them. The two Iron Tail Tigers were caught off guard and sent flying, with deep marks left by the Sword Qi on their bodies, some wounds even exposing the bone.
The two Iron Tail Tigers let out howls of pain, yet were not dead immediately.
Lin Chen felt no sympathy for these beasts. The Sword Qi erupted again, ending the lives of the two Iron Tail Tigers.
After collecting the materials from the two Iron Tail Tigers, Lin Chen remembered the Iron Tail Tiger cave he had seen earlier.
"The mission describes slaying the entire group of Iron Tail Tigers. These two are probably a male and female, so there might be other Iron Tail Tigers in the cave. To complete the mission, I must slay them all!"
Lin Chen hurried to the Iron Tail Tiger cave, leaving the bloody corpses behind, as many beasts were already attracted by the scent of blood.
In this world of the strong preying on the weak, such are the rules. Lin Chen certainly wouldn't let the two Iron Tail Tigers walk free; if he weren't strong enough, they wouldn't have spared him when devouring him.
Soon, Lin Chen reached the Iron Tail Tiger cave. Peering into the deep entrance, he was extremely cautious, slowly venturing inside.
Although logically, there shouldn't be any adult Iron Tail Tigers left in this cave, nothing is absolute, and one must always remain alert when exploring outside.
The Iron Tail Tiger's cave was very large, spacious enough for Lin Chen to walk upright without feeling cramped. After walking a bit, Lin Chen's ears perked up as he heard some unfamiliar sounds.
After advancing further and arriving at a wider area, it was evidently a resting place for the Iron Tail Tigers.
Two Iron Tail Tiger cubs stared at him fiercely, growling threateningly.
Around the two cubs, there were many scattered bones, some clearly human.
Lin Chen, being human, naturally felt no pity for these Tiger cubs that had once devoured human flesh. The Tianyan Ancient Sword swiftly ended the two beasts, whose cultivation was not yet at the fifth level of Godhood.
Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a purple glow flashing deep within the cave.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Lin Chen frowned, sensing a unique aura emanating from the purple glow.
"Could it be some treasure?"
After contemplating, Lin Chen moved forward.
Since he had already slain all the Iron Tail Tigers, there shouldn't be any danger left in this cave; otherwise, the Tigers would have met their demise long ago.
Soon, Lin Chen reached the source of the purple glow, bent down to pick it up, and discovered it was a purple crystal stone.
"What is this?"
Lin Chen furrowed his brow, noting the warm energy and abundant Spiritual Energy emanating from the purple crystal.
After careful examination, Lin Chen realized the purple crystal wasn't large, just a peculiar-looking sacred crystal containing Spiritual Energy.
After some hesitation, Lin Chen's Dantian, Little Lotus, suddenly showed a desire for the purple crystal.
"Little Lotus wants to consume the stone's energy?"
Seeing Little Lotus intrigued, Lin Chen guessed it might be a resource to enhance his cultivation.
Decisively, Lin Chen sat cross-legged and began extracting the purple crystal's power, aided by Little Lotus, absorbing it rapidly. Soon, the purple crystal turned completely transparent, depleted of Spiritual Energy.
Having absorbed it all, Lin Chen felt a surge of fiery Godly Energy entering his meridians, though otherwise resembling a normal crystal stone.
Frowning, Lin Chen extended his hand, releasing Godly Energy, suddenly noticing a purple flame flashing within then disappearing.
With his keen observation, Lin Chen knew the flame truly appeared!
"What's going on? Could it be caused by the purple crystal?"
Creating fire within, something Lin Chen was familiar with while in the lower realm, was useful for Alchemy and combat. After ascending, the sinister fire he tamed in the Demon Realm lost its power and was useless in battle.
Reflecting on this, Lin Chen realized he hadn't crafted any pills since ascending, largely due to lacking a suitable flame.
"Could it be that the purple crystal harbors a special flame usable by humans?"
Lin Chen speculated boldly that the purple crystal might contain a special flame that can integrate into the body during cultivation, becoming usable through refinement!
"There might be more purple crystals around here!"
Lin Chen surveyed the area, indeed finding scattered purple crystals. From the cave's depths, a faint purple glow seemed to emanate.
Picking up the scattered purple crystals, Lin Chen slowly ventured deeper into the cave.
Soon, Lin Chen arrived at the destination.
"This is…"
Before Lin Chen lay countless purple crystal stones, and amidst them, a small pond filled entirely with purple liquid, resembling the purple crystal.
"Could these really be formed by the melting of the purple crystal stones?"
Lin Chen found it hard to believe but couldn't deny the scene before him.
After merely refining a small piece of purple sacred crystal, Lin Chen felt a fiery element imbued into his Godly Energy, consumed during his move, but its heat lingered.
