After Li Zhenqian left.
Wan Xun also showed a conflicted expression on his face.
His strength was not considered weak; with Foundation Establishnt Perfection cultivation, he could rank in the top twenty among the cultivators participating in this relic exploration.
But passing the second round of assessnts had already been sowhat challenging for him.
Although it was partly due to dragging along Li Zhenqian as a burden, after witnessing the vast gap between himself and Lin Chen, he began to doubt whether he could pass the third round of assessnts.
After hesitating for a long ti, he finally made up his mind.
He walked in front of Lin Chen, cupped his hands, and said:
"Brother Xu... I know my strength is rely average..."
"But I have to consider whether this relic exploration might be the only opportunity in my lifeti... If I don’t stake my life, how can I hope to glimpse the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"Should sothing happen to ... could I trouble Brother Xu to deliver the ssage back to the Changchun Sect?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen remained silent.
In his view, the odds were still fifty-fifty for Wan Xun to pass the third round of assessnts.
But this choice was entirely personal; Lin Chen could not decide others’ fates.
Thus, Lin Chen cupped his hands and said:
"Taoist Friend Wan, in a situation like this... just act according to your heart!"
...
Monts later, over a dozen cultivators took the Golden Yuan Pills and gradually chose to leave.
At this ti, just thirty cultivators remained in the space.
The weakest among them had Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishnt cultivation, all confident in their own strength.
As the exit passage closed, the cold voice echoed in the space once more.
"The third round of assessnts, the Puppet Forest, is about to comnce."
"All participating cultivators, please strive to pass through higher levels of trials, as it will affect your subsequent scores and rewards."
"Will all cultivators, please enter the assessnt rooms..."
Following the cold voice, precisely thirty doors appeared within the space.
The Ghost-eyed Child, Li Tianhan, and others did not hesitate, each choosing a door to enter.
Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.
Less than ten minutes remained until the ti to return to Blue Star.
So he didn’t rush to enter but instead waited for a mont in this space.
The other twenty-nine cultivators quickly entered their respective doors, leaving Lin Chen alone in the space.
And the countdown on his arm reached zero.
Lin Chen’s vision started to change.
...
Great Xia Country, Martial Arts Palace.
Upon returning, Lin Chen held a Nanobag with both hands and handed it to Wang Lishan.
Wang Lishan took the Nanobag and almost couldn’t hold it steadily.
"What’s inside this? Why is it so heavy?" Wang Lishan asked in astonishnt.
"Want to open it and take a look?" Lin Chen teased.
After opening the Nanobag, Wang Lishan discovered it was filled with bricks, each of them heavy.
After taking one out and examining it in his hand, Wang Lishan exclaid:
"Are these all Exotic tals? High-tier Exotic tals?"
Lin Chen nodded and replied, "Pretty much, I guess they should be Fourth Tier Exotic tals, but they need to be tested further..."
Wang Lishan fell silent upon hearing this, then weighed the Nanobag in his hand.
"How heavy are these Exotic tals?"
"About two hundred thousand jin..."
"Where did you get so many Exotic tals?"
"Found them in the Secret Realm; this is only a portion... There are at least ten tis more on the other side of the Cultivation World, but I temporarily can’t bring them back."
Lin Chen felt a bit helpless; although his strength was considerable,
But he could only lift items weighing over two hundred thousand jin.
Bringing back this one Nanobag was already quite an effort for Lin Chen...
In front of him, Wang Lishan was completely astonished.
Two hundred thousand jin of Fourth Tier Exotic tals... that’s already several years’ worth of production for the entire Great Xia Country.
There are only a few Martial Realms that can produce Exotic tals, not to ntion the great risk involved in mining them, so production is indeed quite low...
Just these two hundred thousand jin of Fourth Tier Exotic tals are enough to create nearly a thousand Exotic Treasures, arming a thousand Martial Spirit powerhouses.
And Lin Chen ntioned there’s ten tis more stock in the Cultivation Realm, aning it could arm over ten thousand Martial Spirit powerhouses?
So now, the problem isn’t a shortage of Exotic tals, but rather a shortage of Martial Spirit powerhouses!
It’s no exaggeration to say if Lin Chen brings back this batch of Exotic tals,
For the next decade or even several decades, the Great Xia Country won’t lack Exotic tal weapons.
Because there aren’t even that many powerhouses to wield them...
With this in mind, Wang Lishan decisively said:
"Lin Chen, we will quickly forge this batch of Exotic tals into Exotic Treasures and send them to the Martial Realm front line..."
"However, the quantity of this Exotic tal is too vast; the excess can be used to craft more Martial Arts Puppets to ensure your safety in the Cultivation Realm!"
Lin Chen nodded at this; as for Martial Arts Puppets, he could never have too many!
Afterward, Lin Chen detailed so intelligence from the Cultivation Realm and then went into seclusion in his room.
There are seven days left until the next crossing.
Lin Chen’s goal is to reach Foundation Establishnt Perfection!
...
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
In a specially designed Cultivation Room, Lin Chen sat cross-legged, operating the Eternal Spring Technique.
Each ti the Circulation of the Heavens was completed, dozens of Spirit Stones around him turned to powder, with the pure Spiritual Energy flowing into Lin Chen’s Dantian.
At this terrifying speed of cultivation, the Spiritual Qi True Essence within Lin Chen’s Dantian grew increasingly fuller.
The Foundation Establishnt Pill Platform also beca more solid.
Finally, when Lin Chen’s Dantian could no longer accommodate more Spiritual Energy, and his entire aura was full and harmonious,
He opened his eyes.
"Foundation Establishnt Perfection, finally achieved!"
Lin Chen carefully sensed the Spiritual Energy within his Dantian, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.
"After breaking through to Foundation Establishnt Perfection, my True Essence Magical Power is no less than that of a Fake Pill cultivator!"
"Next, I feel more assured about passing the assessnt."
He glanced at the countdown on his arm.
