Primordial Emperor

"Who told you to touch this prince's... this prince's place." Little Profound Turtle said angrily, blushing as it looked at Lin Chen.

"Utter nonsense, it seems you've all been infected by that idiot Yang Minghui." Lin Chen coldly said, then with a wave of his hand, an invisible force drew Little Profound Turtle over, grabbed it, and tossed it toward the teleportation portal, sending it to the First Layer Space.

Without his permission, Little Profound Turtle naturally could not freely enter the Second Layer Space again.

Next, Lin Chen needed to hand over the spirit crystals he earned today for the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to absorb, so Little Profound Turtle wouldn't be allowed to watch.

Then, Lin Chen took out a spatial ring and extracted four million pieces of low-grade spirit crystals, immediately letting the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron refine and absorb them.

Whoosh—

In no time, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron absorbed and refined those four million low-grade spirit crystals at such a fast pace that Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

If others knew Lin Chen had used a total of eight million low-grade spirit crystals for the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, only to light up about sixty or seventy percent of the tenth star map, they'd be shocked beyond belief.

Lin Chen sighed, thinking to himself that the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron was truly a gold-devouring beast.

Then, Lin Chen was about to start cultivating when he discovered a few glittering objects in this realm.

Picking them up, Lin Chen found that they were scales from Little Profound Turtle that had fallen off.

It appeared to be the scales that had fallen off when Little Profound Turtle underwent another bloodline awakening earlier.

Even if they were just shed Profound Turtle scales, they were incredibly rare and made for excellent refinement materials.

The Mystic Robe Treasure Armor Lin Chen was wearing had been crafted from scorpion shells after hunting that Demon Scorpion. But now, Little Profound Turtle's shell was stronger than the scorpion shells, so the defensive treasure armor made from it would naturally be more powerful.

Thus, Lin Chen planned to use these scales to refine a new piece of treasure armor for himself.

Even though Lin Chen's physical strength was already formidable enough to withstand attacks from ordinary Creation Realm experts, his physical body alone could not truly fend off powerful opponents like Zi Ling.

So refining a strong piece of defensive treasure armor for protection was necessary.

And even if Lin Chen didn't need it himself, he could still give it to Yu Weilian and the others to use.

However, Lin Chen thought that these few scales seemed too few, and it would be better to have more.

Thinking this way, Lin Chen used the teleportation array to go to the First Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, holding those scales, and came to Little Profound Turtle.

"Little Profound Turtle, do you have any more of these scales that fell off during your transformation? If so, could I have some more?" Lin Chen asked mildly as he approached Little Profound Turtle.

"You scoundrel, how did you get my scales? You really are shameless, what do you want to do with my scales? Give them back to me." Little Profound Turtle blushed angrily, looking at the scales in Lin Chen's hand and started yelling at him.

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly and thought to himself that this little turtle must have something wrong with its head, getting so easily angry and cursing just like that silly Yang Minghui.

"Forget it, it's ridiculous. If you don't have them, then you don't. I know these things are precious, and you're reluctant to part with them, so be it."

"There's no need to get angry and curse over it." Lin Chen said nonchalantly, seeing Little Profound Turtle like this. It was impossible to get more scales from it, so Lin Chen prepared to leave with those few scales.

"Lin Chen, you scoundrel, stop right there. What are you going to do with my scales, give them back." Little Profound Turtle flew over, blocking Lin Chen's path, angrily looking at him.

Seeing Little Profound Turtle blocking his way and acting like he was some villain who committed a heinous crime, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

"Little Profound Turtle, what's wrong with you today? I just took a few of your scales, and they were shed naturally, not taken from your body. I picked them up with my ability; why should I give them back?" Lin Chen grinned wickedly and put on a proud expression.

Seeing such an appearance, Little Profound Turtle blushed instantly, took two steps back.

"Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be such a shameless person. I really misjudged you." Little Profound Turtle said angrily with a red face, like a fire turtle.

Hearing these words, Lin Chen felt the other party's reaction was inexplicable.

"I don't know what you're babbling about. I just picked up some scales, how does that make me shameless? Explain it to me." Lin Chen questioned as he looked at Little Profound Turtle.

"Hmph, you think you're not shameless? Then tell me, what's your plan with my scales?" Little Profound Turtle questioned Lin Chen.

"These scales, of course, are for artifact refining. Your scales are much harder than the shell of a fearsome Demon Scorpion I hunted before, making them excellent refining materials." Lin Chen answered seriously, looking at Little Profound Turtle.

"Oh... so you want to use them for artifact refining." Little Profound Turtle said awkwardly, smiling a little upon hearing Lin Chen's explanation.

"Yeah, of course for artifact refining. What else would they be used for?"

"Besides, what did you think I was going to use them for?" Lin Chen seriously inquired, looking at Little Profound Turtle.

After all, Lin Chen could only think of using these scales for artifact refining and couldn't imagine any other use. Did these scales have other uses he didn't know about?

"Hmph, the scales of this princess... this prince have many uses. Since you're using them for artifact refining, I'll give you my scales, but I have a condition." Little Profound Turtle said calmly, looking at Lin Chen.

"What condition?" Lin Chen asked suspiciously.

"The magic artifact you refine using my scales is for you alone and must not be used by anyone else." Little Profound Turtle said to Lin Chen.

"What kind of condition is that? How ridiculous."

"But since the scales are yours, I'll agree; the magic artifact I refine will be for my own use." Lin Chen promised lightly, looking at Little Profound Turtle.

With Lin Chen's promise, Little Profound Turtle finally nodded satisfied, then flew onto Lin Chen's shoulder. Slightly shaking its body, countless scales fell off immediately, clinking pleasantly like a treasure trove of silver.
