Innate Yin Sha Qi Azure Dragon Ring!

"Sign in!"

Lin Chen responded decisively in his heart. This was an unexpected surprise.

So it turned out that sign-in chances could also be obtained by defeating enemies. That gave him a rather nice reminder.

"Ding! Signing in. Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have received the sign-in reward—Innate Yin Sha Qi!"

Lin Chen froze for a moment, then delight surfaced in his eyes. Innate Yin Sha Qi—this was an innate treasure far beyond ordinary Yin Sha Qi.

Between heaven and earth, both Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Qi were divided into nine grades, with the first grade being the lowest and the ninth grade the highest.

After breaking through to the Earthly Yuan Stage, the Yin Sha Qi one could absorb from the world would at most be second or third grade.

In terms of rank, Innate Yin Sha Qi was definitely even better than ordinary ninth-grade Yin Sha Qi.

He was already at the Ninth Level of Body Tempering. Once he reached the Earthly Yuan Stage, he would need to begin absorbing Yin Sha Qi.

The higher the grade of the Yin Sha Qi he absorbed, the stronger he would become among those of the same realm.

The Heavenly Yuan Stage was the same, except what one absorbed was Yang Gang Qi.

When Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Qi merged through the interplay of yin and yang and condensed into a Yuan Core, that meant achieving the Core Formation Stage!

Once one reached the Core Formation Stage, one could practically strut around Qingyang Town without fear. No one could stop them!

Of course, the Yuan Core condensed at the Core Formation Stage also differed in quality. A One-Star Yuan Core was the worst, while a Nine-Star Yuan Core was the best.

The difference in quality depended on the Yin Sha Qi absorbed at the Earthly Yuan Stage and the Yang Gang Qi absorbed at the Heavenly Yuan Stage.

Only by laying a solid foundation in these two major realms would one have the confidence to look down on others of the same realm after stepping into the Core Formation Stage.

Lin Chen's breakthrough to the Earthly Yuan Stage was just around the corner.

And right now, Yin Sha Qi was exactly what he needed.

"This came at just the right time. Once I break through to the Earthly Yuan Stage, it'll be the day that old dog Lin Mang meets his end!"

Inwardly, Lin Chen quietly wrote down Lin Mang's earlier attempt to kill him in his little book of grudges. He definitely would not let the man off.

However, for now, he needed to wait until Lin Zhentian finished handling the matter and see how things unfolded.

With his strength at the Earthly Yuan Stage, he should be capable of fighting someone at Lin Mang's level in the Heavenly Yuan Stage.

Of course, if Lin Zhentian was ruthless enough to temporarily suppress the other party's cultivation to the Earthly Yuan Stage, or cripple him outright, then Lin Chen could kill him right now.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining first place in the Lin Family Clan Tournament. You may receive one sign-in chance. Sign in?"

Just as Lin Chen was planning to follow them to the rear courtyard to see how Lin Mang would be judged, the system notification sounded beside his ear once again.

This left him somewhat stunned. Two consecutive sign-in chances caught him a little off guard, and he had not been mentally prepared for it.

Lin Chen pondered it silently for a moment before understanding.

The conditions for obtaining the two sign-in chances were different, so naturally there could be multiple sign-in chances.

"Sign in!"

"Ding! Signing in. Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have received the sign-in reward—Azure Dragon Ring!"

Lin Chen was somewhat puzzled. He immersed his mind into the system space and simply inspected both the Innate Yin Sha Qi and the current Azure Dragon Ring together.

The Innate Yin Sha Qi was trapped inside a crystal ball. Within it seemed to be a world of icy snow and extreme cold, and he could clearly see the frost and icicles filling the inside.

With just one glance, Lin Chen felt a chill run through him.

Why did he feel that if he shattered the crystal ball and took out the Innate Yin Sha Qi, then in the very next second his entire body would definitely turn into an ice sculpture?

For Innate Yin Sha Qi of this level, even if ordinary people encountered it through some fortunate opportunity, they probably would not have the blessing to enjoy it.

Lin Chen shifted his gaze away and moved it to the ring floating beside it in midair, flickering with a faint cyan glow.

He summoned it over and carefully examined the Azure Dragon Ring.

A giant cyan dragon was carved on it, lifelike and exuding a mysterious aura.

An idea struck Lin Chen. He attached his Spiritual Power to it, and while no one was paying attention, he dripped his own blood onto it. The blood was instantly absorbed by the Azure Dragon Ring.

The Azure Dragon Ring also slipped smoothly onto his finger.

After a simple inspection, Lin Chen understood what the Azure Dragon Ring was.

To put it plainly, it was a so-called spatial ring, capable of storing items.

However, compared to the Storage Bags seen on the market, which could only store inanimate objects, the Azure Dragon Ring could store living things.

Moreover, its storage space was also very large.

Lin Chen roughly estimated that it should be around three thousand cubic meters.

As his strength grew, as long as he found suitable materials, the storage space of the Azure Dragon Ring would also expand accordingly.

Of course, in Lin Chen's view, this was more like a Small World. The rules within it seemed somewhat similar to the continent he was currently on, yet also had some differences.

It could produce Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi on its own, though not very quickly.

As the owner of the Azure Dragon Ring, Lin Chen could infuse Yuan Power, or other crystals containing Yuan Qi, to serve as a starting energy source. Then, within this Small World, he could carve out a small area and alter the rules of time flow inside it.

This ability was extremely absurd.

This meant that as long as Lin Chen planted the Spirit Medicine he obtained inside it, altered the rules of time flow, and poured in large amounts of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi...

Then the current problem—Spirit Medicine needing a long time to absorb Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, while they had no time to wait—would change.

"Interesting."

Lin Chen was extremely satisfied with this Azure Dragon Ring. If he planted that Third-grade Spirit Medicine, the Crystal Vermilion Fruit he had obtained, inside it, then perhaps he could very soon achieve so-called freedom of Crystal Vermilion Fruit supply?!

He might even obtain Fourth-grade Spirit Medicine!

His own vegetable garden—just thinking about it was exciting.

If he could pick up an unwanted spirit vein somewhere and put it inside, then just a simple thought was enough to know how greatly it would benefit Lin Chen.

After Lin Xia came back to her senses, she was also the first to rush over to Lin Chen, asking with concern, "Brother Chen, are you all right?"

Shock still lingered on her face.

Clearly, Lin Mang, who was at the Heavenly Yuan Stage, had just tried to kill Lin Chen, and that move had frightened her.

"Sister Xia, I'm fine. Don't worry."

Lin Chen came back to himself, shook his head, and said calmly.

He reckoned that everyone probably had no doubts about his deliberate moment of distraction just now.

After all, faced with the threat brought by Lin Mang of the Heavenly Yuan Stage, Lin Chen, who was only at the Body Tempering Stage, freezing in terror was a perfectly normal reaction.

No matter which Body Tempering Stage cultivator had been in his place, they would have reacted the same way, so naturally no suspicion would arise.

Lin Dong frowned and also came to Lin Chen's side, apologizing.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry. I'm the one who dragged you into this."

If Lin Chen had not stood up for him and Qing Tan earlier, how would Lin Hong have come to regard him as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, to the point that during the Clan Tournament in the Trial Hall, he had encountered such a threat?

When Lin Dong thought back on it, lingering fear still gripped him.

He knew very well that if he had run into Lin Hong as his opponent, he would definitely have been able to defeat him.

At that point, Lin Hong's father, Lin Mang, would surely have done exactly the same thing—erupted into action and tried to kill him.

It could also be said that Lin Chen had blocked a disaster for him.
