Chen Lin and Li Xiangru talked at length.
Their conversation ranged from the Inner World to the Outer World, and they exchanged Transmission Beads.
Then Li Xiangru took his leave.
Chen Lin pondered briefly.
Li Xiangru had come to see him mainly to learn about the state of the war. After all, as Jin Ruhua's friend, Chen Lin was bound to know some inside information.
He had held nothing back and explained the situation.

The same went for Chen Lin.
After Li Xiangru left, he took Chen Ling'er straight to the Market, gathering resources regardless of the cost.
At a time like this, he could no longer afford to worry about much else.
For items his own standing did not qualify him to purchase, he simply invoked Jin Ruhua's name.
As a result, he pocketed large quantities of Rare Resources, though his Storage Bag also grew considerably leaner.
He sold off almost all the treasures that would be useless in the coming battle.

"The Kaiyuan Realm, of course! I've wanted to see your very own plane for ages, Father."
Chen Ling'er answered immediately.
But then she hesitated. "Still, things are so dangerous right now. We should be careful. If we can't guarantee our safety, we'd be better off
