"I’m already aware of this matter; continue to have everyone refine the Purple Thunder Suit, and I will handle the resource issue."
After Lin Chen gave his instructions, he walked back to his residence with a hint of dejection.
When he passed by Hua Lianxin’s abode, he sensed a powerful surge of the extreme cold attribute and involuntarily paused to take a closer look.
"Such intense extreme cold attribute power, it seems her cultivation has broken through again."
Just then, the door of the room opened, and Hua Lianxin emerged. Seeing Lin Chen, she politely inquired, "Young Master Lin Chen, you’ve returned." Fresh chapters posted on NoveI~Fire.net
For the favors Lin Chen had done for her, she might never be able to repay him in this lifetime. If it wasn’t for Lin Chen, she probably would have been long dead, let alone possessing the fortunes she had now.
Thus, Hua Lianxin was immensely grateful to Lin Chen in her heart.
And as for Lin Chen moving her to the Royal Court, Hua Lianxin’s mind fluttered with thoughts. She thought Lin Chen must have had some intentions for doing so, making her live in the court.
However, after coming to the court, the anticipated event did not happen.
Moreover, it wasn’t just her; Lin Chen’s martial sister, his master, and the three new disciples from Jade Bird Peak also resided within the Royal Court. Only then did Hua Lianxin realize that she might have thought too much.
So, seeing Lin Chen at this moment made Hua Lianxin’s heart flutter with expectations once again.
"Very good, your cultivation has indeed broken through, reaching the Sixth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm!"
"Now, in this Divine Sun City, among those of the same age, you are the first in terms of cultivation."
Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Hua Lianxin, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.
Endowed with the Xuan Yin Cold Body, Hua Lianxin’s cultivation speed was indeed unmatched by other martial artists.
At least until Hua Lianxin’s cultivation broke through to the Reverting Void Realm, it was very likely that no young peer could match her speed of cultivation.
Only when one’s cultivation reached the bottleneck of the Reverting Void Realm would the advantages bequeathed by the Xuan Yin Cold Body gradually diminish, becoming similar to those of an ordinary martial artist.
The advantage granted by Hua Lianxin’s Xuan Yin Cold Body to her physique could likely be maintained until that stage.
According to Lin Chen’s speculation, Hua Lianxin might step into the Cultivation Realm of the Reverting Void Realm in less than five years. Such a young Reverting Void Realm powerhouse was exceedingly rare throughout the entire Eastern Domain and even the Mysterious Heaven World.
"All this is thanks to you, young master. Please come in and sit down, and let Lianxin make you a cup of tea," Hua Lianxin said, clenching her small hands, inviting Lin Chen with great nervousness in her heart.
Little did Lin Chen know that she harbored some feelings of affection for him. In the past few days, she had also gathered some information about Lin Chen’s affairs.
Lin Chen looked at Hua Lianxin, nodded in agreement, and followed her into the house.
However, Lin Chen was interested not for any peculiar ideas about Hua Lianxin, but because he had somehow caught a whiff of a flame aroma on her.
This should be impossible, as Hua Lianxin was a Xuan Yin Cold Body, and the cultivation technique she practiced was the Extreme Cold Technique he had imparted to her. Her attribute of spiritual power should be the ice attribute, so it made no sense for it to be related to flame.
After entering the house, a faint light flashed in front of Lin Chen, and his Second Soul Division appeared.
"It indeed is the flame attribute, and not a weak one at that. Miss, do you have anything special on you related to the fire attribute power?" Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division glanced up and down at Hua Lianxin before asking.
"Fire attribute items?" Hua Lianxin was utterly puzzled. She had always practiced the Cold Ice Technique imparted to her by Lin Chen, so how could there be anything of the fire attribute on her?
Hua Lianxin quickly contemplated and confirmed that she should not possess any item of the fire attribute.
"Could it be this jade pendant that I carry on me?"
However, then Hua Lianxin’s eyes brightened as she reached inside her neckline and took out a jade pendant.
She undid the rope from her neck and handed a fiery red jade pendant to Lin Chen.
Upon receiving it, the Second Soul Division scrutinized the pendant before his eyes immediately lit up.
"This is actually a Redflame Firestone."
The Second Soul Division’s eyes gleamed with incredulity, staring at the jade pendant in hand with a look of disbelief.
"Redflame Firestone? What is that?" Hua Lianxin inquired with confusion upon hearing Lin Chen’s remark.
It appears that Hua Lianxin had never understood what the jade stone she wore was.
Lin Chen began to explain that the so-called Redflame Firestone was a type of energy stone with a very strong fire attribute. Its value and the energy it contained far exceeded a spirit stone’s, even surpassing that of a top-quality spirit stone.
However, it could not be absorbed by all martial artists—such as those who cultivated cold ice techniques—but for those with the fire attribute, its value was exceedingly rare.
After hearing Lin Chen’s explanation, Hua Lianxin realized that the jade stone she had always carried was such a rare material.
She then offered to give it to Lin Chen, who was noticeably intrigued.
"Miss Hua, where did this jade stone come from?" Lin Chen asked Hua Lianxin.
The value of the Redflame Firestone was extraordinary indeed, but a single stone wouldn’t provide much energy.
Lin Chen, however, knew that the Redflame Firestone wouldn’t form on its own but would occur in a vein.
"This jade stone was found by my father in a mountain range behind my hometown before I entered Floral Transfer Palace," Hua Lianxin said without any concealment, revealing the origin of the Redflame Firestone to Lin Chen.
