CHAPTER 1567: CHAPTER 1567: HEALING

The reason Lin Chen didn’t inject spiritual power to activate the defensive power of the defensive robes was that he hadn’t refined these two robes at all, which was also why Lin Chen was able to wear two robes.

Typically, after a martial artist refines a robe, they can only wear one robe and inject spiritual power to activate the robe’s defensive effects.

However, Lin Chen’s current cultivation was not sufficient to refine these two robes, so he could only wear them to utilize their inherent defensive capabilities. It must be said that Lin Chen’s approach, though unconventional, was quite extravagant.

Such wanton use of robes was probably unique to Lin Chen.

As weakened power of thunder and lightning continued to strike Lin Chen’s body, the Heavenly Thunder Pearl inside him immediately began to crazily absorb that power of thunder and lightning.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl inside Lin Chen had long absorbed the power of thunder and lightning, evolving to the fourth-grade realm. However, after advancing to the fourth-grade, ordinary power of thunder and lightning could no longer enable it to continue evolving.

Lin Chen originally thought that if he had the chance to annihilate the Flying Crane Sect, he might find lightning system treasures within that sect to continue advancing the grade of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, considering all martial artists in the Flying Crane Sect cultivated thunder system techniques.

The time when Lin Chen’s Heavenly Thunder Pearl advanced from third to fourth-grade happened by devouring a lightning system orb from Lei Hao.

However, with the current power of Lin Chen and the Jade Cauldron Sect, even with Duo’an as an insider, it was still challenging to have the strength to wipe out the Flying Crane Sect.

Therefore, Lin Chen’s idea had to be shelved for now, allowing the Flying Crane Sect and the Lei family father and son to enjoy their freedom for a while longer.

Yet Lin Chen never expected to encounter such potent power of thunder and lightning here, an intensity that was simply a perfect supplement for the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

Lin Chen checked on Zi Ling, finding that she had already fainted. Her entire body was charred black by the thunderbolts, her skin completely blasted open, rendering her unrecognizable as Zi Ling.

Lin Chen hurriedly checked Zi Ling’s heart veins. Fortunately, she was still alive, only unconscious.

As long as there was a breath left, Lin Chen had a way to save her.

Not to mention Zi Ling, even Lin Chen, despite the Unbreakable Vajra Defense Talisman, two defensive robes, and the multiple protections from the Heavenly Thunder Pearl inside him, still felt a tingling numbness and uncontrollable tremors from the power of thunder and lightning that had weakened several layers landing on him.

Lin Chen swiftly used the power of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl to absorb the power of thunder and lightning from Zi Ling’s body, preventing it from remaining inside her and further depleting her life force.

If the power of thunder and lightning wasn’t extracted, not long after, Zi Ling would completely lose her vitality and fall entirely unconscious.

Zi Ling ought to be thankful that while she dashed toward the stone chamber, Lin Chen called out to her, causing her to slow her pace by a fraction. Thus, she had not yet reached the very center of the stone chamber when the power of thunder and lightning struck her unconscious.

Otherwise, if she hadn’t turned to look at Lin Chen for that brief moment and had dashed directly to the center of the stone chamber, she might have been turned to ashes by the power of thunder and lightning by now.

If that had happened, even if Lin Chen possessed extraordinary skills, he wouldn’t have been able to save Zi Ling.

After drawing out the power of thunder and lightning from Zi Ling, Lin Chen immediately took out a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and quickly had Zi Ling ingest it. This Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was exceptionally precious for strong individuals below the Creation Realm; as long as there was still a breath, no matter how severe the injuries, consumption could bring them back.

This Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was undoubtedly extraordinarily precious. Even with Zhao Rushi refining it under the aid of Lin Chen’s Pill Spirit Array, the success rate was only thirty percent. It should be noted that a thirty percent success rate for ordinary alchemists might be quite high, but for Zhao Rushi, who was exceptionally talented in alchemy, even precious elixirs usually had a seventy to eighty percent success rate.

However, for this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, a thirty percent success rate was relatively low for Zhao Rushi, yet there was no choice. The refining of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was extremely intricate and complex, and the materials were exceedingly rare and diverse, making the refining process naturally exceedingly difficult.

But because of this, it had its miraculous effect of defying fate.

Zhao Rushi had gathered the materials with great difficulty and only managed to refine five pills. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Chen was reluctant to use this life-saving elixir.

But now, Zi Ling was on her last breath, and if this pill was not used, it would probably be impossible to save her.

Of course, the Water of Life in this stone chamber proved even more effective than the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, but the prerequisite was that Lin Chen needed to acquire the Water of Life before Zi Ling’s last breath dissipated.

The power of thunder and lightning in the stone chamber was too strong, making it difficult for Lin Chen to approach the central position of the stone chamber, let alone acquire the Water of Life.

Thus, Lin Chen had to use a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill; each use meant one less pill.

Zi Ling, though not as important in Lin Chen’s heart compared to Yang Yuemin, Xu Lianyu, and others, had cared for Lin Chen over the years at Yunlong Heavenly Palace. The Yellow Hall was like Lin Chen’s second Jade Cauldron Sect, so he naturally wouldn’t sit by and watch Zi Ling die.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, how is Senior Sister Zi Ling?"

Cheng Liang saw Lin Chen struck by the power of thunder and lightning yet unharmed and rescuing Zi Ling, and he immediately stepped forward to check on Zi Ling’s condition.

"Rest assured, I’ve given her the elixir. With me here, she will be fine."

"However, the way Senior Sister Zi Ling acted this time was really too reckless. If she had rushed a few more steps toward the Jade Pond earlier, I’m afraid even with a life-saving elixir, it would have been too late."

"Senior Sister has always been this reckless and will sooner or later bring trouble upon herself."

Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and said helplessly.

At this moment, after Zi Ling ingested the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, golden light flashed on her body, rapidly healing her.

After half a stick of incense’s time, Zi Ling awakened.

Upon waking up, Zi Ling found herself lying in Lin Chen’s arms; whether it was the effect of the elixir or Lin Chen’s body warmth, Zi Ling felt warmth spreading through her body.

"I actually didn’t die!"

Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen and softly said.

Mere moments ago, after recklessly rushing into the stone chamber and hearing Lin Chen’s call, she was just about to turn her head when she sensed a lethal danger looming. She wanted to evade, but it was already too late.

Subsequently, she was struck unconscious by the power of thunder and lightning. Zi Ling had thought she was doomed, yet she had unexpectedly awakened.

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, how many times have I told you, don’t act recklessly, follow my commands. You were fine this time, but what about next time?"
