The Whereabouts of the Gold of Life, Lin Chen's Pleasant Surprise

When Lin Chen saw Qian Renxue arrive, a smile appeared on his face, "Sister Xue, what brings you here? Did you finish the Second Divine Trial?"

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I have now completed the Second Divine Trial and absorbed God-given Soul Ring with a lifespan of 100,000 years, thereby breaking through to the Soul Saint."

"Congratulations then." Lin Chen stood up and walked to Qian Renxue's side. "Did you come here today for something?"

Qian Renxue nodded and smiled at Lin Chen, saying, "Grandpa asked me to take you to the Worship Hall. He said he has something nice to give you."

"What good stuff?" Lin Chen scratched his head in confusion, then followed Qian Renxue out of the courtyard with curiosity.

Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure either. It seems to be something like Soul Beast. I haven't heard much about it. You'll know once you go and take a look."

The two walked side by side up the stone steps. The Spirit City was not yet fully awake in the early morning. The thin mist in the mountains clung to both sides of the stone steps, and there was a coolness in the air.

Qian Renxue looked at Lin Chen's profile and said with a smile, "I'm going to take the Third Trial for the Angel God in a month. What are you going to do?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and said, "It must be cultivation. My cultivation progress is currently at a crucial stage."

When the two arrived at the entrance of the Worship Hall, the doors were already open.

Looking up, I saw Qian Daoliu sitting in the main seat, with two retainers sitting beside him.

One was the Mighty Lion Douluo whom Lin Chen had met, and the other was the Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Worship of the Worship Hall. He was an old man with gray hair, a strong build, and a calm face.

When Qian Daoliu saw Qian Renxue and Lin Chen walk in, he casually nodded, gesturing for them to sit down.

After a moment, Qian Daoliu said to Qian Renxue, "Xue'er, for the Third Trial of the Angel God, I plan to let you rest for more than a month."

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then calmly said, "Thank you very much, Grandpa. I've been a bit tired lately."

Qian Daoliu nodded, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment. "The Angel God Trial is called the Divine Body Tempering. It requires eight hours a day to be immersed in the Angel Divine Light, continuously for one hundred and eight days."

"This Divine Trial will definitely not be easy. You need to rest well for the next month, because then you will need to go into seclusion."

Qian Renxue nodded and replied, "I understand."

Mighty Lion Douluo chimed in from the side, "Young Master, rest assured, all the Spirit Hall's cultivation resources will be allocated to you for the next month. Just let us know if you need anything."

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Fourth Elder."

After the matter of the Divine Trial was finished, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed. Qian Daoliu picked up his teacup and took a sip, while the Mighty Lion Douluo turned his gaze to Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, young man," Mighty Lion Douluo said to Lin Chen, "We have something to give you."

Lin Chen looked up and immediately realized that they were about to deliver resources. His face was full of curiosity as he asked, "What are they?"

Mighty Lion Douluo laughed and said, "Seventh Brother went on a mission with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan a few days ago and discovered a strange Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"That Soul Beast was a Golden Hawksbill Turtle, quite large, and should theoretically be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but its aura was incredibly weak."

"Its aura is only at the level of a 20,000-year-old Soul Beast, and its life force is inexplicably draining away."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had heard the name somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it. He could only continue listening to Mighty Lion Douluo speak.

Mighty Lion Douluo laughed and said, "After Seventh Brother and the others captured the Soul Beast, they found a large crystal inside its body. It was entirely green and exuded an extremely rich life force."

At this point, Mighty Lion Douluo smiled, "When Seventh Brother saw that crystal, he planned to give it to you as compensation for the Immortal Herb you gave to Xue'er."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's head suddenly buzzed, and he suddenly remembered what the green crystal mentioned by Mighty Lion Douluo was.

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle, green crystals, abundant life force, and the life force of the Soul Beast were continuously being drained. If these were considered separately, it would simply be an unfortunate Soul Beast having its cultivation absorbed by a stone.

However, after combining all this information, Lin Chen suddenly recalled the Golden Hawksbill Turtle in Douluo II that had devoured the Gold of Life.

The words "Gold of Life" exploded in his mind instantly.

He had read Douluo II and knew what that thing was.

The life force contained in the Gold of Life that the 100,000-year-old Golden Hawksbill Turtle devoured was so immense that it could fundamentally alter the foundation of a Soul Master.

Although he was overjoyed, Lin Chen didn't show much expression on his face, only asking curiously, "So where are the crystals now?"

Mighty Lion Douluo's expression also became somewhat subtle at this moment. "Originally, Seventh Brother planned to bring this stone back to you directly."

"But after Bibi Dong saw the crystal, she invoked the Pope Hall's authority to deliberate, saying that it was a public resource of the Spirit Hall and could not be allocated privately by the Worship Hall, and should be temporarily held by the Pope Hall."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Qian Daoliu's expression remained unchanged, as if he wasn't very interested in the matter, while Golden Crocodile Douluo had a sullen face, clearly dissatisfied with Bibi Dong's actions.

Linchen asked doubtfully, "So that stone is now in the Pope's Palace?"

Mighty Lion Douluo nodded and said, "They're in the Pope Hall right now, but Seventh Brother should still be arguing with Bibi Dong about the ownership of this crystal. You can still make it there in time."

Lin Chen did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought for a few moments.

He knew the value of this piece of Gold of Life; it was a priceless treasure for any Soul Master, and even more so for him.

His Soul Power enhancement is suppressed by the bottleneck of the Ultimate Martial Soul. If he can absorb the life force contained in the Gold of Life will be able to improve.

His physical foundation will not only be greatly strengthened, but his strengthened body may even be able to withstand the pressure brought by the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring when he reaches level 60.

More importantly, he is currently only one step away from unlocking the Ultimate Bow. If he could have a resource rich in life force to nourish himself, it might accelerate that process.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen decisively said, "Then I'll go there now."

Qian Renxue put down her teacup and said to Lin Chen, "I'll go with you."

Lin Chen turned to look at Qian Renxue and said hesitantly, "You'll be entering the Angel Temple in a month, so I don't need to trouble you with this, right?"

Qian Renxue interrupted Lin Chen with a smile, "You are my disciple. For Bibi Dong to dare to touch the things Worship Hall is to publicly slap me, the Elder of Judgment, in the face."

Mighty Lion Douluo chuckled beside him, saying, "With the Young Master going with you, even if Bibi Dong is bold, she won't refuse to return that stone to you."
