A moment later, at the agreed meeting place of Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Jiang Liqian showed a look of delight.

But when she saw the two people behind Lin Chen, she slightly frowned.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt a bit helpless and explained:

"Junior Sister Jiang, Zhenqian and Tieshan also heard about the Dragon Spirit Sect relic and want to go with us... What do you think?"

After hearing this, Jiang Liqian pondered for a moment and eventually nodded her head.

She only said:

"It is like this, according to my information, the Dragon Spirit Sect relic is divided into two layers, inner and outer."

"The outer relic yields less but is also relatively safe... For Golden Core Cultivators, there’s almost no danger."

"But the inner area poses certain risks, yet it’s also where Dragon Spirit Grass may be found..."

After speaking, Jiang Liqian looked toward Lin Chen.

Her meaning was clear.

With Zhou Tieshan and Li Zhenqian’s strength, exploring the outer relics is feasible, but entering the inner area is unrealistic.

Jiang Liqian and Lin Chen aimed to explore the relics, a bit of care could be provided.

But it wasn’t possible to abandon their exploration for the sake of looking after the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenqian quickly assured:

"Don’t worry, I’m just bringing Junior Brother Zhou to experience it. Don’t you already know my strength?"

"If we can gather a few valuable herbs on the outer relics, we’ll be satisfied!"

Saying this, Li Zhenqian nudged Zhou Tieshan with his elbow.

Zhou Tieshan quickly nodded and said:

"Senior Brother Lin, and... sister-in-law, don’t worry, we definitely won’t hold you back!"

Sister-in-law?

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s expression turned dark.

He then looked at Jiang Liqian, who also had a slight blush on her face.

Lin Chen didn’t bother to explain further and just gave a few more reminders.

Indeed, with Li Zhenqian’s strength, as long as there’s no encounter with a late Golden Core enemy, he could protect Zhou Tieshan and retreat safely.

Moreover, Zhou Tieshan wasn’t just an ignorant cultivator.

In his two years of travels, he had seen quite a bit of blood.

Moreover, with the middle-grade Treasure Artifact Lin Chen had gifted him, along with half a year of guidance from Ancestor Changchun, he wouldn’t falter even when facing mid-period Golden Core adversaries.

Thus, Lin Chen summoned the Purple Jade Gourd, and Jiang Liqian lightly leaped onto it.

Seeing this, Li Zhenqian also wanted to get on but was held back by Zhou Tieshan.

"Senior Brother Li, let’s take my flying ship!" Zhou Tieshan quickly summoned the flying ship, continuously sending looks at Li Zhenqian.

Li Zhenqian, feeling a bit helpless, had to agree.

Thus, the Purple Jade Gourd slowly rose to several hundred feet in the air...

The group of four flew in the direction of the Dragon Spirit Sect relic.

Jiang Liqian stood on the gourd, only about a foot away from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen could even clearly hear Jiang Liqian’s breathing.

Looking at the illusory cloud mist attached beside Lin Chen’s gourd, Jiang Liqian’s eyes flashed with admiration.

"Senior Brother Lin’s mastery of the Cloud Soaring Technique seems to have reached Great Success."

"Even a half-step Nascent Soul Cultivator may not be able to catch up easily..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled. He had always been very attentive to the Cloud Soaring Technique, as it was a matter of life and death.

But he still modestly said:

"Not at all, it’s just that this gourd is an exceptional Magical Treasure... it greatly enhances tunneling speed."

Hearing this, Jiang Liqian nodded slightly, then carefully observed the Purple Jade Gourd.

A moment later, she showed a look of surprise.

"Senior Brother Lin, the patterns on this gourd look somewhat familiar... could it be the legendary Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was taken aback and asked:

"Junior Sister Jiang, what is the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd?"

Jiang Liqian extended a hand, and a green-colored gourd appeared in her palm.

"Senior Brother Lin, you may not know."

"This Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd is said to be the supreme treasure of the Spirit Realm, surpassing even Spiritual Treasures in power... it contains a small world and has numerous wonderful uses."

"Tens of thousands of years ago, it was owned by the Celestial Being Xuantian. After the Celestial Being Xuantian died, the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd returned to its origin, transforming back into the Profound Celestial Gourd Vine and was lost in the Lower Realm."

"It’s said that the Profound Celestial Treasure is born of the world’s destiny, and only those with fate can encounter it. There are seven gourds on the Profound Celestial Gourd Vine... if one can collect them all, they can combine into the once Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd..."

While controlling the gourd’s flight, Lin Chen listened silently.

"Alas, it’s a pity..."

Jiang Liqian sighed at this moment and said:

"It’s such a pity that these seven gourds are so hard to collect, and have been lost for tens of thousands of years..."

"However, even if one cannot collect all seven gourds, collecting just three of them can combine into one, far surpassing the power of ordinary Magical Treasures."

Hearing this, Lin Chen was taken aback.

The Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd, useful both in collecting seven or three?

Lin Chen thought carefully for a moment, at present he already held two gourds in his possession, the Purple Jade Gourd and the Blue Jade Gourd.

And his Senior Sister Miko also possessed a Red Jade Gourd...

Plus, with the Green Jade Gourd in Jiang Liqian’s hands.

Unknowingly, out of the seven gourds, Lin Chen already knew the whereabouts of four.

Wasn’t he quite close to the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd then?

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt quite expectant.

He wanted to propose exchanging the Green Jade Gourd with Jiang Liqian but didn’t know how to bring it up...

Seeing Lin Chen about to speak but hesitating, Jiang Liqian couldn’t help but ask:

"Senior Brother Lin, if there’s something you want to say, just say it without concern!"

Taking note of her words, Lin Chen nodded and explained about the Red Jade and Purple Jade Gourd given to him by his master.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liqian showed a look of astonishment.

"I never expected Senior Brother Lin to have such good fortune..."

"Thus, with seven Jade Gourds, Senior Brother is already aware of the whereabouts of three. If they can be fused and advanced, it would certainly become a remarkable Magical Treasure..."

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, as he had similar thoughts.

But the value of these Jade Gourds is immense; although he covets the gourd in Jiang Liqian’s hand, he cannot seize it by force, right?

Therefore, Lin Chen found himself caught in a dilemma.

Seeing Lin Chen’s troubled expression, Jiang Liqian chuckled.

"Haha, why is Senior Brother troubled... Since Senior Brother has such fortune, naturally Junior Sister should assist in fulfilling it, right?"

With that, Jiang Liqian handed over the Blue Jade Gourd in her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Chen blinked but did not take it. Instead, he shook his head and said:

"Junior Sister, I cannot take your things for free... This Jade Gourd is quite valuable; even without collecting all seven, it is still a precious treasure."

Jiang Liqian shook her head upon hearing this and said:

"Not so, this Jade Gourd for me is merely a decent Storage Treasure."

"Although Storage Treasures are good, they are not hard to find; there are many Storage Treasures within a hundred feet... This Blue Jade Gourd, however, only has three feet, which is not very useful to me."

Lin Chen blinked after hearing this.

Three feet in diameter?

His Purple Jade Gourd is only one foot in diameter; could there be differences between the different gourds?

The storage space of one foot and three feet doesn’t sound much different, but the disparity is like heaven and earth.

This means the actual storage space of the Blue Jade Gourd is twenty-seven times that of Lin Chen’s Purple Jade Gourd!

A total of over four thousand cubic meters, comparable to a large warehouse.

With the Nanobag, even the largest amount of resources can be easily stored.

"Junior Sister, are there differences among the seven Jade Gourds?"

Lin Chen blinked and asked.

Jiang Liqian, evidently knowledgeable, might have investigated the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd before.

She explained eloquently:

"Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd is divided into seven, respectively: Purple Jade, Blue Jade, Red Jade, Green Jade, Yellow Jade... White Jade Gourd and Black Jade Gourd!"

"Among them, the Purple Jade Gourd has a diameter of one foot, can enhance tunneling speed, suitable for life preservation."

"Blue Jade Gourd can nurture Spiritual Energy, Red Jade Gourd can nurture Magical Treasures, Yellow Jade Gourd can mature Spirit Plants..."

"Green Jade Gourd’s storage space is the largest with a diameter of three feet..."

Lin Chen was surprised at heart upon hearing this, as the Blue Jade Gourd has the ability to nurture Spiritual Energy, yet he hadn’t discovered it despite possessing it for some time.

"It seems the Blue Jade Gourd requires a special method to activate?" Lin Chen thought to himself.

Jiang Liqian continued:

"Regarding the most mysterious ones, naturally, they are the White Jade and Black Jade Gourds."

"The White Jade Gourd can accommodate living beings, and the Black Jade Gourd can accommodate ghosts!"

"However, these two gourds are in the hands of two mysterious individuals... Gathering all seven is too difficult!"

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Liqian smiled and said:

"Senior Brother has already gathered three gourds, which is a tremendous fortune."

"However, the Blue Jade Gourd is most suitable for Senior Brother! But this gourd has been lost for thousands of years; even I don’t know where it currently is..."

Lin Chen blinked upon hearing this.

Coincidentally, the Blue Jade Gourd is in his possession.

"Ahem, Junior Sister... What is special about this Blue Jade Gourd?" Lin Chen asked nonchalantly.

Jiang Liqian thought for a moment after hearing this and handed over a booklet.

"Senior Brother, I coincidentally acquired this Blue Jade Gourd early on and also wanted to find other gourds... This is some information from my research, which might be of some help to Senior Brother."

Lin Chen felt a surge of gratitude after hearing this.

This Blue Jade Gourd is quite a fortune; he never expected Jiang Liqian to give it away freely.

"Ah, Junior Sister... I’ve incurred another significant favor..."

Lin Chen replied bitterly.

Jiang Liqian didn’t seem to mind; she simply smiled and said:

"If Junior Sister ever needs help in the future, please assist, Senior Brother!"

Lin Chen nodded firmly upon hearing this and said:

"Willing to give my all!"

Lin Chen received the Green Jade Gourd and put the booklet away.

With this, he now held three gourds.

When the time is right, perhaps he can attempt to fuse them...

The two stood on the gourd, chatting and laughing as they headed towards the Dragon Spirit Sect ruins.

A few miles behind them, Zhou Tieshan controlled the Spiritual Boat, gossiping:

"Senior Brother Li, when do you think Senior Brother and Senior Sister Jiang will get married? I should be a little brother-in-law, right... There should be a red envelope."

Li Zhenqian was taken aback upon hearing this, feeling even more uneasy.

After a moment, he retorted:

"Junior Sister Jiang’s younger brother is your little brother-in-law... You are Junior Brother Lin’s younger brother; it doesn’t count!"

Zhou Tieshan felt a wave of disappointment upon hearing this...

...

The Dragon Spirit Sect ruins are located thirty thousand miles north of Celestial Dao City.

With Lin Chen’s tunneling speed, if he flew at full strength, he could arrive in a little over a day.

But considering they traveled as a group and needed to preserve strength.

It took a full four days for the four to finally arrive outside the Dragon Spirit Sect ruins.

The entrance to the ruins is within a mountain; passing through a Giant Stone leads there.

Since the ruins appeared some time ago, when the four arrived, there were quite a few cultivators hovering outside the entrance, numbering several hundred.

Half of them were Golden Core Cultivators, and a portion of Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators were there to try their luck.

"Junior Sister Jiang, shall we enter the ruins?"

As the four prepared to enter, a cultivator stopped them.

"Fellow Daoist, entering the Dragon Spirit Sect ruins requires paying a thousand Spirit Stones per person..."
