Although this bracelet was also green, it was not the vivid emerald green of Li Fuyao's. It had only the faintest green tint.
Now it had been burned pitch-black.
Chen Lin took out a cloth and wiped the bracelet clean.
But he found scorch marks on it and did not know whether it was still usable.
Once he finished wiping it, he began refining it.
The moment he tried, Chen Lin knew it would not work.
A layer of peculiar energy covered the bracelet, preventing the Treasure-Refining Formula from taking effect.
Other treasure-refining formulas proved equally useless.
After working at it for a while, he still could not breach the bracelet's energy defenses, and his brows furrowed.
After some thought, he steeled himself and unleashed Flame Palm again. He concentrated on controlling it, keeping the flames the size of an ordinary hand so they would not burn the things in his cave abode.
Then he carefully drove the flames to temper the bracelet.
He wanted to see whether he could forcibly refine it. If not, he would simply destroy it rather than leave a hidden danger behind.
"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy!"
The flaming palm had barely seized the bracelet when an aged voice immediately rang out.
Then green light shimmered over the bracelet, and the phantom image of an emaciated old man appeared.
"I am Ji Wu of the Liekong Clan. This Divine Vine Bracelet is a protective treasure belonging to my descendant. The spirit of her origin essence, which will allow her to resurrect, resides within it. Please spare her life, fellow Daoist. I would be deeply grateful!"
Chen Lin frowned.
He had heard of the Liekong Clan. It was a superpower on par with the Horn-Eye Clan, with an ancient mighty cultivator at the Late True Realm
