Chapter 1354: The Seventh Star Map
"I... I did just come back from Lin Chen's place, but nothing happened between us, Sister Yu, please don't misunderstand." Yang Minghui looked at Yu Weilian, speaking in a flustered and anxious manner.
Looking at Yang Minghui's timid appearance, Yu Weilian smiled calmly.
"Sister Yang, you don't need to be nervous. When it comes to Lin Chen, I support you. You know, I'm not the only woman in Lin Chen's life. If something really happened between you and Lin Chen, I'd be happy about it. After all, we sisters can support each other and not let him be with other women all the time." Yu Weilian said, looking at Yang Minghui earnestly.
"Sister Yu, what are you talking about? Nothing like that happened between Lin Chen and me. The only thing that happened earlier was that the guy spoke rudely to me, so I taught him a lesson. That's all. What Sister Yu said, none of it is true." Yang Minghui explained with a flushed face, refusing to admit anything.
Seeing Yang Minghui unwilling to admit her relationship with Lin Chen, Yu Weilian didn't force it. She understood that Yang Minghui had her own pride and wouldn't easily admit her feelings for Lin Chen.
If she pushed too hard, she might scare Yang Minghui.
It was enough for her to state her position for now, allowing Yang Minghui to confess her feelings for Lin Chen when she was ready.
Yang Minghui and Lin Chen were somewhat similar in character.
If neither of them took the initiative, it would be difficult for anything to develop between them.
So Yu Weilian took it upon herself to play matchmaker.
If Yang Minghui continued to hide her true feelings for Lin Chen, she would only end up with unspoken regrets.
Yu Weilian genuinely cared for Yang Minghui, who had saved her life, and wanted the best for her.
She sincerely wished to become sisters with Yang Minghui, always considering her feelings and respecting her choices.
Yu Weilian didn't want Yang Minghui to hide her love just because Lin Chen was already her man.
Listening to Yu Weilian's words, Yang Minghui looked at her and nodded heavily, full of gratitude.
She could clearly see Yu Weilian's sincerity.
The latter always considered her first, speaking frankly and without indirect attempts to probe.
"Thank you, Sister Yu. I understand your intentions, and I will seriously think about it." Yang Minghui expressed her gratitude to Yu Weilian.
"We're sisters; there's no need to say thank you." Yu Weilian smiled gently at Yang Minghui, feeling happy inside.
Yang Minghui's willingness to consider meant she was internally acknowledging her feelings for Lin Chen, even if she couldn't voice them yet.
...
At Lin Chen's dwelling.
Lin Chen, looking gloomy, had just been misunderstood by Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue in the grove surrounded by others.
Now, back at his dwelling, he had been beaten up by the crazy Yang Minghui. What a mess.
Fortunately, Lin Chen's physique was strong, so he wasn't injured by Yang Minghui's beating.
"This silly girl is usually so carefree, but doesn't hold back when she acts; she strikes without considering the consequences." Lin Chen muttered to himself before summoning Little Profound Turtle and Qingxu Daoist to act as protectors in the room. Then he took out the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and entered it.
Once inside the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, he took out all the one million Low-grade Spirit Crystals that Wang Tong gave him as an apprenticeship gift, offering them to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for refining.
Having witnessed the cauldron improving his physique through bone refinement and cleansing, Lin Chen was no longer concerned about the distribution of treasures.
Now, as long as he had treasures, he would offer them to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for absorption.
The Profound Yellow Fire flickered slightly, falling on the million Low-grade Spirit Crystals, instantly refining and absorbing the blazing flame crystals.
Lin Chen now only wanted to shorten the interval of entering the unfamiliar world for cultivation and speed up the enhancement of his physique.
As the Low-grade Spirit Crystals were completely refined and absorbed, a silver flash glimmered on the Star Map.
Lin Chen was overjoyed; the Seventh Star Map had finally been lit by the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, and it was a result of pouring money into it.
To light this star map, Lin Chen invested nearly two million Low-grade Spirit Crystals altogether.
Such an amount only managed to light the Seventh Star Map.
Still, Lin Chen thought to himself, his hardships had paid off, and he wondered what surprises the lit Seventh Star Map would bring.
Subsequently, Lin Chen asked the Artifact Spirit of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron about the benefits of lighting the Seventh Star Map.
The response regarding the Seventh Star Map left Lin Chen extremely disappointed, as even after lighting it, it only reduced his gateway interval to the unfamiliar world from fifteen days to fourteen.
Lin Chen felt a wave of disappointment but soon accepted it reluctantly, recognizing that shortening by a day was still progress.
Thinking about the countless other star maps still to be lit made Lin Chen feel overwhelmed, considering how many Spirit Crystals it would require.
Yet Lin Chen remained motivated, since lighting more star maps and ultimately fourteen more would mean he could journey freely to the unfamiliar world for cultivation every day.
By then, Lin Chen's cultivation would undoubtedly progress further, quickly evolving his Ancient Divine Body to the next level.
After lighting the Seventh Star Map, Lin Chen immediately began cultivating.
This time, however, Lin Chen didn't focus on cultivating the Ancient Divine Body or the Divine Dragon Fist; he chose to practice the Three Pure Soul Painting Technique to enhance his Soul Power instead.
Since his Soul Power breakthrough and reaching the Ninth Level of the Three Pure Soul Painting Technique, there hadn't been any further breakthroughs for a long time.
