Wilderness Hunt Conspiracy, Chen Yu's Flames of Revenge!

Thus, several more days passed.

This day.

Chen Ruoxi once again worked through an obscure and incomprehensible section.

Rumble—!!!

Within her Consciousness Sea, it was as though a universe was being born and stars were coming into existence!

Those artifact-refining problems that had once plagued her and left her baffled now melted and crumbled as easily as ice and snow beneath the sun!

So spiritual power circuits could be constructed this way!

So the fusion of materials did not need to rigidly adhere to the mutual generation and restraint of attributes at all!

So the so-called "Artifact Spirit" could actually be created like this... from nothing!

Her Worldview was utterly overturned at this moment!

She was like an elementary school student who had just learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, only for someone to suddenly place the complete answers to a calculus textbook before her!

No!

This was ten thousand times more outrageous than calculus!

This was simply the domain of a Divine Being!

Chen Ruoxi abruptly closed the book!

She did not dare keep reading!

She feared that her divine soul would be stretched so full by that vast, boundless knowledge that it would explode on the spot!

She panted heavily, her chest rising and falling violently.

Her Cool and Aloof Pretty Face was now covered in an unhealthy flush.

It was extreme excitement, extreme shock!

After a long while.

She finally managed to calm the heart that seemed ready to leap from her chest.

Her gaze fell upon the cover of that ancient book once more.

Heavenly Crafts Illustrated.

Those four words were no longer mere words in her eyes.

They were a... key leading to the supreme Divine Realm!

And the person who had given her that key...

"Lin Yuan..."

Once again, she unconsciously spoke that name.

That name seemed to possess a kind of magic.

It gradually cleared her overly excited thoughts.

Practice!

She had to put it into practice immediately!

Only by trying it herself could she truly experience even one ten-thousandth of the mysteries within this sacred tome!

Chen Ruoxi suddenly rose to her feet!

She looked around.

Her gaze quickly locked onto a Bronze Crane Incense Burner used as decoration in the corner of the lounge.

It was an ordinary item.

Its workmanship was crude, it had no spiritual power fluctuations, and its only value was that it looked nice.

Before, she would not even have been interested in giving such a thing another glance.

But now...

In her eyes, that incense burner had become a pile of... basic materials that could be freely dismantled and recombined!

"It'll be you!"

An unprecedented blazing light flashed through Chen Ruoxi's Beautiful Eyes!

She strode quickly to the incense burner and, without the slightest hesitation, extended her fair jade-like hand.

Buzz—!

A wisp of pale-blue spiritual power carrying a faint chill surged from her palm.

This was her Lifebound Spiritual Power, ice-attributed.

In the past, she had always believed that spiritual power of this attribute was suitable only for refining ice-type artifacts.

But just now, she had seen a theory in Heavenly Crafts Illustrated that completely overturned her understanding.

All things could serve as foundations, and all methods could be put to use!

"Dismantle!"

Chen Ruoxi shouted softly!

Following a basic illustrated technique she had just comprehended, she controlled her spiritual power like countless fine silver needles, instantly piercing into the interior of the bronze incense burner.

The next second!

A miraculous scene unfolded!

That sturdy bronze incense burner made no sound at all as it silently disintegrated into a cloud of Most Pure bronze powder floating in the air!

The impurities within were frozen by her ice-attributed spiritual power into tiny ice crystals, which fell to the floor with a series of crackles!

Purification!

In merely a single breath, she had completed a purification process that had once required her several hours, earthfire, and all kinds of auxiliary materials!

Moreover, the purity was a hundred times greater than any purification she had ever performed before!

"Heavens..."

Chen Ruoxi could not help letting out a cry of surprise!

Suppressing the wild joy in her heart, she Took a Deep Breath and began the next step.

"Recombine!"

Her hands traced one profound yet graceful trajectory after another through the air!

The floating bronze powder seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and began rapidly condensing once more!

This time, it was no longer taking the form of an incense burner.

Instead, it gradually outlined the shape of a... hairpin in midair!

"Condense!"

A fine layer of fragrant sweat had already appeared on Chen Ruoxi's forehead.

With her current cultivation, performing such delicate control while doing so many things at once placed an enormous drain upon her divine soul and spiritual power!

Yet her eyes shone so brightly that it was frightening!

Buzz—!!!

As she formed her final hand seal!

The hairpin floating in the air suddenly burst forth with dazzling cyan light!

A distinct spiritual power fluctuation belonging to an artifact instantly filled the entire lounge!

It worked!

It had really worked!

Using an ordinary incense burner, she had actually refined a simple artifact with her bare hands in just a few minutes!

Chen Ruoxi held out her hand, and the cyan hairpin gently drifted down into her palm.

It was icy cold to the touch.

She could sense that although this hairpin was only Mystic Grade Low Tier, the spiritual power circuits within it were more profound and perfect than those of any Mystic Grade high-tier artifact she had ever seen!

As long as spiritual power was infused into it, it could unleash a Protective Ice Shield of considerable strength!

"I... I did it..."

Chen Ruoxi stared blankly at the hairpin in her hand.

Before she knew it, her eyes had grown moist.

Slowly, she clenched her fist.

That copy of Heavenly Crafts Illustrated, that Bronze Hairpin, and that figure lazily reclining on the sofa...

Everything felt like a dream.

The most beautiful dream she had never even dared to dream!

"Lin Yuan..."

She pressed the icy hairpin tightly against her heart.

"What kind of person... are you?"

"And why exactly... did you give me such a grand gift?"

She could not understand it.

Nor could she guess.

But there was one thing she knew with absolute certainty.

From Today Onwards, her life would be completely changed because of that man!

Elsewhere.

The hatred Chen Yu felt after being publicly humiliated by Lin Yuan festered in his heart.

Like a venomous snake, it gnawed at his heart.

Whenever he recalled how he had sprawled before Lin Yuan like a Dead Dog at the banquet that day, he felt a bone-piercing humiliation.

That was the greatest stain of his life, an eternal disgrace he could never wash away!

"Lin Yuan! I'll make you pay!"

Inside his room, he roared furiously and Heavily Smashed his fist into the wall.

A deep crack instantly appeared in the wall.

He knew that with his own strength, he was simply no match for Lin Yuan.

The power Lin Yuan had displayed so Understatedly was beyond his comprehension.

But he was unwilling!

He absolutely refused to let things end like this!

"Right, the Wilderness Hunt!"

Chen Yu's eyes lit up.

The Wilderness Hunt was a grand event jointly held by the major aristocratic families of Yan Jing City.

Every year, large numbers of young disciples entered the depths of the Wasteland to hunt Demonic Beasts and temper themselves.

The Wasteland was vast and boundless, with Demonic Beasts running rampant, and there was no shortage among them of powerful existences.

Every year during the hunt, geniuses fell within it, dying at the claws of Demonic Beasts or being swallowed by other dangers.

A vicious glint Flashed through Chen Yu's eyes.

An opportunity!

This was the perfect opportunity for his revenge!

Within the Wasteland, everything was filled with uncertainty.

As long as he planned properly, even if Lin Yuan possessed heaven-reaching strength, he might not be able to walk out safely!

He secretly resolved that during the hunt, he would make Lin Yuan pay a painful price and wash away his own humiliation!

Chen Yu began secretly contacting disciples from several aristocratic families.

The first person he thought of was Liu Mingxuan.

Although Liu Mingxuan had outwardly shown wariness toward Lin Yuan, Chen Yu knew that Liu Mingxuan's interest in Chen Ruoxi, along with the humiliation Lin Yuan had inflicted upon him in public, must have already built up hatred for Lin Yuan in his heart.

That hatred was enough to make them join forces for the time being.

The night was deep as Chen Yu secretly slipped out of the Chen Family.

He arrived at a hidden teahouse, where Liu Mingxuan was already waiting.

"Young Master Liu!"

Chen Yu lowered his voice, forcing a fawning smile onto his face.

Holding a teacup, Liu Mingxuan took a light sip, his face carrying several traces of disdain.

Naturally, he looked down on trash like Chen Yu, but to deal with Lin Yuan, he could make use of him for now.

"Chen Yu, what did you come to me for?"

There was a trace of Arrogance in Liu Mingxuan's voice.

Chen Yu embellished his plan as he laid it out. He portrayed Lin Yuan as an arrogant and conceited man who looked down on everyone and even showed disrespect to the Liu Family.

"Young Master Liu, that Lin Yuan is far too arrogant! He dared to humiliate me in public and would not even give the Liu Family any face! If someone like him is not taught a lesson, he will only grow more and more lawless!"

Chen Yu said through gritted teeth.

After hearing this, a sinister gleam Flashed through Liu Mingxuan's eyes.

Although he felt Chen Yu was exaggerating somewhat, Lin Yuan had publicly caused the woman he fancied to reveal that kind of "unusual radiance" toward him, and that truly displeased him.

"What do you intend to do?"

Liu Mingxuan set down his teacup, a trace of interest in his voice.

Seeing Liu Mingxuan's interest, Chen Yu was overjoyed and quickly revealed his entire plan.

"The Wilderness Hunt! Young Master Liu, within the Wasteland, everything is filled with uncertainty! We can..."

The two secretly discussed matters within the dim teahouse.

They subsequently contacted several more disciples from other families. Most of these disciples had grudges against Lin Yuan or were dissatisfied with his forcefulness.

Among them were even members of first-rate families.

"When the time comes, even if Lin Yuan has heaven-reaching abilities, he can forget about leaving the Wasteland alive!"

Mad light gleamed in Chen Yu's eyes.

Liu Mingxuan merely gave a cold laugh.

He believed that with so many people joining forces, no matter how strong Lin Yuan was, he would be unable to escape even with wings!
