Chapter 156: Talisman Sword Gang
Hearing the Phantom Monarch's words, Isheline also deserves his reasoning, but the Holy Light Crystal must not be lost by herself, with an eager look on her face, after thinking for a moment. There's a hint of pleading in Isleen's voice, "However, the Holy Light Crystal is very important to me, as long as you are willing to give it back to me, I can exchange it for something else."
"Oh? Something else exchanged? What can you exchange for? Regarding Iseline's words, Lin Chen was a little interested and asked.
"Well, I can exchange my weapon for ......", pondering for a moment, and realizing that the most valuable thing in her hand was the weapon in her hand, Isleen said as she raised the sword in her hand.
Looking at Iseline's appearance, Lin Chen was secretly amused, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Weapons?" Have you forgotten that I have another identity? Your weapon may seem like a good thing to others, but to me, it's a bit of a no-brainer."
"Uh......", hearing this, Isleen froze, she was indeed confused, who is the Phantom Monarch? The legendary caster and legendary pharmacist, the sword in his hand, in front of him, is indeed not too tempting to him, even if it is his own armor and weapons, but in addition to the equipment on his body, there is nothing else that he can handle.
"Since you can't find anything to exchange, then forget it......", looking at Iseline's appearance, Lin Chen said in a hoarse voice, turned around directly as he spoke, and strode away, because of the reason for the wrath of the king, the current Lin Chen's fighting spirit is almost exhausted, and he is exhausted, how can he have time to idle here?
Seeing the Phantom Monarch striding away, Isherine wanted to catch up, but she couldn't exchange anything for it, besides, with the strength of the Phantom Monarch, even if she wanted to grab it, there was no way, right?
Gritting his teeth, when Lin Chen walked around a corner in front of him, and no one noticed him, Lin Chen hurriedly poured down a magic energy potion, magic energy potion, in fact, the effect is similar to that of the soothing elixir, but the magic energy potion is an upgraded version of the soothing elixir, just like the difference between the small blue bottle and the big blue bottle in the game.
"Whew......", as the magic energy potion went down, the almost empty fighting spirit slowly recovered, Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took off the pitch-black robe on his body, Lin Chen still maintained the appearance of his camouflage potion, and quietly groped towards the outside of the abyssal lair.
The lava demon escaped, the bone dragon and the King Kong troll were also killed, this abyss lair was opened, that is a certainty, Lin Chen has nothing to stay, although the harvest this time is not too satisfying, but it has been upgraded by at least one level, and it is not far from level 52, plus the moon trace crystal, the healing hand and the holy light crystal, it is not too bad to have such a harvest after brushing a copy.
After leaving the abyssal lair, Lin Chen rushed back to the Pharmacists Guild, returned to the Pharmacists Guild, Lin Chen looked at Xia Lu, these days have passed, and her mood has calmed down a little, after all, the deceased is gone, and those who survive still have to continue to live.
"Mentor, are you back?" Seeing Lin Chen walk in, Xia Lu stood up and said with a respectful look on his face, that look is indeed a performance that can only be performed in the face of his own mentor.
"......", in fact, to be honest, Lin Chen didn't treat Xia Lu as a disciple at all, he had always regarded her as a friend, and today she suddenly respectfully called herself a mentor, Lin Chen really felt very unaccustomed.
Moreover, this feeling is like feeling that I am being called old by others, I am only in my twenties, but I am called a teacher by the same girl in my twenties, I believe that no matter who you are, you will feel uncomfortable, especially if this person was your friend before.
"Okay, Xia Lu, the identity of the mentor and disciple between us is actually just an appearance, you don't need to call me a mentor, you can still treat me as the former Lin Chen", for a girl of the same age to call himself a mentor, especially Xia Lu, Lin Chen really felt unaccustomed.
"Just a façade?" , Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xia Lu's heart was shocked, could it be that Lin Chen just said that he was accepting himself as a disciple on the surface, but in fact, he didn't really think about treating himself as a disciple at all? Thinking of this, Xia Lu's mood was a little flustered, after all, she was completely unrelated now.
"No! A mentor is a mentor! can't be changed", misunderstood Lin Chen's meaning, and thought that Lin Chen's acceptance of himself as a disciple was really just an appearance in front of people, Xia Lu said in a panic in his heart.
"You ......", I didn't expect Xia Lu to be so stubborn, but thinking about the previous way to pester herself, she wanted to be her mentor, Lin Chen was relieved, Xia Lu herself is a stubborn person, otherwise, she wouldn't have been pestering herself to be her mentor, and she wouldn't have groped for refining potions alone without a mentor.
"Okay, since that's the case, then let it be", seeing that he really couldn't change Xia Lu's determination, Lin Chen had no choice but to nod and say, let her be.
"Then when can I learn to refine potions with you?" Seeing that Lin Chen agreed, Xia Lu was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly asked while the iron was hot.
"You can do it at any time, as long as you feel that you have time for yourself, you can start learning to refine potions", hearing Xia Lu's words, Lin Chen opened his mouth and replied, since he had accepted her as a disciple, then in terms of refining potions, Lin Chen would naturally not hide his secrets.
"Is it okay for me to study now?" , Hearing that he could be at any time, Xia Lu, who had been waiting a little impatiently, asked urgently.
"Now? You can ......", slightly surprised, I didn't expect Xia Lu to be in such a hurry, but then, Lin Chen also understood Xia Lu's thoughts now, nodded and replied, and then Lin Chen casually took out an ordinary ore from his package space, directly opened the skill page, and easily refined an ordinary-level alchemy furnace.
As a supreme-level foundry, although it takes a lot of time to refine supreme-level equipment, it is still very easy to refine one or two ordinary-level or fine-grade things.
"Divine Alchemy!" , Although he knew that Lin Chen was a perfect-level pharmacist, Xia Lu's eyes widened when he saw that Lin Chen could actually use divine alchemy to refine things.
Whether it is using divine alchemy to refine equipment, or using divine alchemy to refine potions, it is the performance of an epic-level caster or an epic-level pharmacist, but I didn't expect that Lin Chen is not only a perfect-level pharmacist, but also an epic-level caster?
Since she decided to take Xia Lu with her as a disciple, then Lin Chen naturally knew that she would definitely know about her identity as a pharmacist and a foundry master in the future, plus Xia Lu was now unaccompanied, and it was impossible for her to betray herself, so in this regard, Lin Chen did not hide her thoughts, just like Artes, she had no relatives, how could she betray herself.
"For some of your basic skills, you already have them, what you lack now is the formula for refining potions, as well as the correct guidance", handing over the ordinary-grade alchemy furnace to Xia Lu, Lin Chen opened his mouth and said, sat down next to him, took out a pen and paper and wrote a few formulas of primary potions.
"Follow the recipe and steps above, you can practice slowly", handing over a few of the most basic potion recipes to Xia Lu, Lin Chen said lightly.
"Just practicing according to the formula? Gone? Hearing Lin Chen's teachings to herself, Xia Lu's eyes widened slightly, and she asked with some surprise, how can a mentor teach a disciple like this? Just throw a few recipes and you're done?
"You just need to do this now", looking at Xia Lu's appearance, Lin Chen also knew what she was thinking, and replied lightly.
Speaking of this, Lin Chen paused slightly, and then said: "I remember when I was a child, others taught me to swim and told me a lot of swimming tricks, but I did it according to the tricks told by others, but I always couldn't swim well, until one day my mentor told me that you just need to soak in the water every day, you don't need any tricks, you can learn naturally."
"At that time, I was just skeptical, but, in those days, I soaked in the water every day to play, sure enough, it was only less than three days, I almost succeeded in learning to swim, in fact, alchemy and swimming are almost the same, no matter how much tricks are given to you, you are useless now, what you need to do now is to soak here all day long to practice, and when it comes to a certain time, you will make progress ......."
"Oh, I know ......", hearing Lin Chen's story, Xia Lu understood a little, nodded and said, seriously took a few potion formulas in Lin Chen's hand, took the alchemy furnace that Lin Chen had just refined, and began to practice intently.
"Teaching me will not hide my secrets, but how much you can learn depends on your own efforts and talents", looking at Xia Lu who began to refine the potion, Lin Chen muttered in his heart.
Looking at Xia Lu's shoddy techniques, Lin Chen did not rush to order, there were some shortcomings, under long-term practice, she would change herself, she didn't need Lin Chen to remind, just reminded some key places, seeing that Xia Lu was already refining, Lin Chen explained that if she didn't have enough materials, she would go directly to the trading hall in front of her to get it, and then turn around and leave.
"Hey, strength, strength, there are more and more experience in upgrading, and the most difficult thing is these times, as long as you get through these days", looking at the huge amount of experience that he needed to upgrade to level 52, Lin Chen sighed secretly in his heart.
Regarding the terrible thing about the upgrade experience, in the game of Damnation, players also made trouble for a while, after all, after reaching level 60, it is the experience calculated in units of "100 million", and no one can bear it.
Later, Lin Chen remembered that the game company had also given relevant adjustments to quiet the players in the game, but as for what kind of adjustment, Lin Chen didn't remember, he was immersed in potions and casting, if it wasn't for the uproar back then, he wouldn't know.
"After level 60, what kind of adjustments will there be?" Walking out of the room, Lin Chen muttered in his heart, thinking to himself, but he didn't remember it very clearly, Lin Chen just remembered that the adjustment he made at that time was at level 60.
"Forget it, I don't want to, when I reach level 60, it will naturally be clear", after thinking about it, Lin Chen really couldn't remember, and shook his head in the secret way, so he put this matter aside for the time being.
"What to do? The Holy Light Crystal has fallen into the hands of the Phantom Sovereign, how can I get it back? Itherine, who also returned to Yanjing, stayed at home, secretly anxious in her heart, this time she came with a bright breath, but in the end, not only did she lose the magic lamp, but even the holy light crystal in it was gone.
Secretly anxious and distressed in my heart, although the essence of the Holy Light Crystal has a great effect, but the more important thing is its meaning, and the intangible meaning is the most important, so the Holy Light Crystal must not be lost.
However, now that the thing is in the hands of the Phantom Sovereign, how can he get it back? As a Legendary Forge and Legendary Apothecary, is there anything else in this world that can impress the Phantom Monarch?
"Huh? By the way, Lin Chen ......", just when Ithelyn was secretly eager, suddenly Iseline's eyes lit up, why was she so stupid? Lin Chen, he is a disciple of the Phantom Monarch.
Moreover, the Phantom Monarch's love for Lin Chen is absolutely speechless, and even the legendary alchemy furnace is willing to give it to Lin Chen, is there anything else that he is not willing to give? As long as he asked Lin Chen to help, the matter of the Holy Light Crystal should be irrelevant.
Thinking of Lin Chen's breakthrough, the more Ithelin thought about it, the more reliable she felt, and it seemed that this was the only way to do it, so thinking of this, Ethelyn hurriedly stood up and rushed out.
"Really? Did my grandfather say that the Phantom Monarch's mission was abandoned? Hearing Di Roke's words, Jack's mouth muttered, and he secretly thought about it in his heart, what was the specific situation, Caesar didn't say it clearly, just said a word about the Phantom Monarch and gave up and left in a hurry.
In fact, in the abyssal lair, seeing the strength of the Phantom Monarch, Caesar's idea of recruiting the Phantom Monarch automatically disappeared, what are you kidding? The strength of the Seven Grades of the Sanctuary Domain, Caesar thinks that he can't control it, even if he takes a step back, even if he succeeds in recruiting the Phantom Monarch? So what?
At that time, the strength of the Seven Grades of the Holy Domain, when the Caesar Sword Palace didn't know who was speaking, just because of a Phantom Monarch, Caesar retreated from the position of the palace master to the second place? Where can Caesar of the Sword Monarch stand it? Therefore, Caesar also broke off his mind to recruit the Phantom Monarch.
However, because he didn't know the relationship between Isheline and Lin Chen, Caesar didn't explain in detail why he put the Phantom Monarch's matter on hold, but simply notified Jack and it was over.
For Caesar, the Phantom Monarch's affairs were put on hold, and it was the same to let Jack concentrate on Iseline's affairs, but he didn't know that the Phantom Monarch's affairs had been intertwined with Iseline's affairs.
"Grandpa Diroke, did you say that when you were in the Abyssal Lair, the Phantom Monarch also appeared?" After a moment of silence, Jack asked Diroque.
"Yes, I saw the Phantom Monarch go in with my own eyes, and then we received a message from Master Caesar asking us to retreat, so we retreated to the outside of the lair and waited, but in the end we ......."
Speaking of this, Di Roque paused slightly, and then said: "However, in the end, I saw Offardinry, Frost Monarch Gally, and Berserker Monarch Ryo, but I didn't see the Phantom Monarch."
"Oh, I see? I understand ......", Jack said with a look of surprise in his eyes when he heard Dillock's words, as if he understood something.
"Could it be? What do you mean, young master? Phantom Monarch: He died inside? Looking at Jack's appearance, Diroque also understood, and said with a look of surprise on his face.
"At that time, my grandfather sent you a message, it was very dangerous inside, so you should retreat quickly, right? What was my grandfather like when he came out at the end? Regarding the question of the Phantom Monarch's life and death, Jack did not draw a conclusion, but continued to ask Diroke.
"At the time? Master Caesar seems to be a little embarrassed, and it must be a terrible situation inside," Diroque replied after thinking about it.
Indeed, in the abyssal lair, if it weren't for Lin Chen's amazing effect on the key joints, whether Caesar could escape or not was two words, and even the sword was lost, so it was naturally needless to say that they were embarrassed.
"That's it, even the strength of my grandfather's Sacred Domain Six Grades is so embarrassing, and he also sent a message for you to retreat quickly, so the danger inside must not be mentioned, plus after my analysis, I always feel that the strength of the Phantom Monarch is very strange, maybe it can't reach the point of the Sacred Domain Monarch at all, and only he didn't come out, so the result is about to come out", his eyes narrowed slightly, and Jack analyzed slowly and carefully.
"That said? Did the Phantom Monarch really die inside? Hearing Jack's analysis, Di Roque also felt that it was indeed very reasonable.
"But some things aren't certain," Jack continued, shaking his head, "Why did my grandfather ask me to give up the Phantom Monarch thing?" It's very likely that the Phantom Monarch really died in it as I suspected, so my grandfather asked me to give up, of course, this is just a conjecture, most of the possibilities are like this, but there are other possibilities."
"Oh? What else is possible? Hearing Jack's analysis, Di Roque asked with some curiosity, all kinds of clues are connected, the conjecture that the Phantom Monarch has died in the abyssal lair is 100% certain, but Jack actually said that there are other possibilities?
"Yes, Phantom Monarch, why is it called Phantom Monarch? That's because everyone only saw him appear, but couldn't see him leave, maybe this time it's the same reason, it's possible that the Phantom Monarch left in another way, don't forget, the Phantom Monarch will lose the space magic", looking at Di Roke's curious appearance, Jack continued to analyze.
"But? Why does Lord Caesar want us to give up the Phantom Monarch's mission? How do you explain this? Hearing this, Di Roque felt very reasonable, and asked at the same time.
"Then there is only one explanation, that is, even if the Phantom Monarch left in an unknown way, however, seeing his strength in the abyssal lair, my grandfather was very disappointed in him, so he gave up the idea of wooing him", his mouth analyzed, and Jack's mood became more and more cheerful.
"The Phantom Monarch died inside, my grandfather asked us to give up wooing him, this may be more than eighty percent, and only two percent of the remaining is the strength of the Phantom Monarch to disappoint my grandfather, so I gave up wooing him", after slowly and carefully analyzing for a long time, Jack concluded and said.
"Well, yes, it's indeed like this......", Di Roque also nodded slowly, and at the same time sighed secretly in his heart, Jack, the heir of the Sword Palace, has a very good vision and thoughts, and he can also have his own unique opinions on some things, it seems that in the future, when Caesar's Sword Palace is handed over to him, he will not lose his name.
Eighty percent of the probability that the Phantom Monarch died in it, and two percent of the possibility that the Phantom Monarch's strength made Caesar feel disappointed, of course, if the Phantom Monarch's strength is too strong, so strong that Caesar can't consciously control it, so he has no choice but to give up, this possibility surname, Jack didn't think about it at all.
After all, no matter how smart a person is, there are dead ends in his thinking, and for Jack, Caesar, who is ranked third among the nine monarchs, the powerful image of his grandfather is deeply rooted in Jack's heart, for this possibility, maybe if he changes another identity, Jack will consider it, but as Jack, who grew up under the wings of Caesar since he was a child, he never thought that there would be such a possibility.
"No matter what, no matter what the possibility is, the matter of the Phantom Monarch is not to worry about now", and got the conclusion that he liked, and the stone that Jack had pressed on his heart these days also let go.
Originally, taking into account the identity of the Phantom Monarch, Jack didn't dare to intervene casually in the relationship between Iseline and Lin Chen, but now, this kind of consideration can be said to be completely let go.
"Let's go, I'll go see Iseline", the threat of the Phantom Monarch was gone, and he was going to slow down the matter of Iseline first, but now, Jack couldn't bear it anymore, and said, Standing up in high spirits, and walked out of the room with Diroke to find Iseline.
"Huh? Where is she going? Jack, who was walking through the small courtyard, happened to see Iseline hurriedly walking out of his room and rushing outside, Jack said with some doubts.
Then, after a moment of silence, Jack did not chase after him directly, but followed behind, to see what Iseline was going out in a hurry.
"Haotian Sword Qi ......", let Xia Lu practice potion techniques by herself, but what about Lin Chen? Naturally, he was hiding in the trial room to farm monsters, some magic puppets of more than 70 levels, Lin Chen fought carefully, not only reaper experience, but also kept practicing his connection between tricks.
Although it is said that it takes tens of millions of experience to upgrade now, but the more you kill monsters or so, Lin Chen can get hundreds of thousands of experience for every time you kill one, so that if you count it, you can almost upgrade it by brushing a hundred or so magic puppets.
In this way, the upgrade speed is not too slow, it is really busy these days, so that Lin Chen has no time to soak in it to kill monsters, otherwise, it is still very possible to upgrade to 1 level a day, if Lin Chen doesn't care about anything, just soak in it, maybe he will reach level 60 at this time.
More than a dozen magic puppets went down, and the huge amount of experience made Lin Chen get closer and closer to level 52, looking at the experience bar, he would soon be able to rise to level 52, and he was one step closer to the level 60 mark.
"Imperial Sword Technique ......", took a few steps back, looking at the magic puppet of more than 70 levels in front of him, Lin Chen cautiously stepped back, and used the skill of the Imperial Sword Technique to attack the magic puppet in front of him, under the effect of the killing long sword, the attack power of Lin Chen's Imperial Sword Technique increased to 100%, although the consumption was a little larger, but it was definitely the strongest attack skill.
"Ding Ding Ding ......", the legendary-level long sword, under Lin Chen's control, writhed in the air like a spirit snake, attacking towards the weakness of the magic puppet, and after four or five swords in a row, this magic puppet of more than 70 levels was finally split.
"Gain 320,000 experience and get "Talisman Sword Gang".
"Level up 1, current level 52".
As this magic puppet fell, the system's prompt sounded, making Lin Chen secretly happy, he originally came out of the lair, and he didn't have much experience away from level 52, but now he has been hiding in the trial room for training for so long, and finally succeeded in reaching level 52.
At level 52, all five castes have received a fixed 2-point boost, and there are 10 free surname points, Lin Chen smashed 1 point on physique, 2 points on strength, and the remaining 7 points on agility.
After all, when the Abyss Lair was upgraded to level 51, Lin Chen's 10 points of free caste were all smashed on his strength, and now he naturally had to make up for his agility.
After assigning the free surname points, Lin Chen opened his package and looked at the skill book of the Guardian Sword Gang, Lin Chen was secretly happy, it happened to be the skill book of the Sword Immortal Department, and it also happened to be the skill book that he could learn now.
"Talisman Sword Gang, required profession: Sword Immortal, requires level 52".
Seeing that it was a skill that he could learn now, Lin Chen naturally clicked to learn without the slightest hesitation, after the second transformation of the Sword Immortal, there were really not many skills that Lin Chen could use.
"Talisman Sword Gang (Level 1): Condenses one side to absorb 6000 points of damage, cooldown 10 seconds, consumes mp100, lv52".
Looking at the information of the talisman sword gang, Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction, only a level 1 talisman sword gang can absorb 6,000 points of damage, which is not bad, and he finally has a decent defensive skill now.
(To be continued)
