Primordial Emperor-Chapter 1624 - 1623: Let Me Show You Something

"Can't I come back to see you when I don't have anything to do?"

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Rushi and said with a faint smile.

Despite feeling quite speechless inside, Lin Chen had become wiser over time. He couldn't afford to reveal his true intentions the moment they met; he had to first console his women.

If he stated his purpose directly, Zhao Rushi might not only refuse to help refine the elixir but would also throw a tantrum and treat Lin Chen coldly.

Sure enough, Lin Chen's words about returning to see Zhao Rushi immediately softened her expression, adding a touch of warmth.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt even more speechless, silently pondering what was it with these women that made it so impossible to speak plainly. Why did he have to beat around the bush and appease them before getting to the real business?

For Lin Chen, this was simply asking for trouble.

But since Lin Chen needed Zhao Rushi's help, he had no choice but to endure.

"Is it really just to see me, no other reason?"

Zhao Rushi was not so easy to fool. She looked at Lin Chen and immediately asked.

She knew Lin Chen too well. This guy never visited without a reason; every time he came to see her, it was because he needed something.

Lin Chen hadn't come to see her in over six months.

Although a half-year is nothing to cultivators like them, with just one seclusion lasting far longer.

Lin Chen's main body wasn't in the Eastern Domain, which was understandable, but his second soul division was clearly there. Yet, he would rather stay at the frontlines than come back to see her, as if seeing them would get him torn apart.

And Lin Chen behaved like this not just with her, but with all his women.

Zhao Rushi really couldn't understand. Lin Chen was brilliant, unmatched in strategy and calculations, but why was he so clueless when it came to women?

"Haha, really, there's nothing. If there is something, it's about you."

Lin Chen scratched his head, smiling faintly. He always did that when he lied, feeling guilty.

"For me? What could it be? Tell me."

Zhao Rushi looked at Lin Chen with interest and asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen wasted no time, immediately waving his hand. A dark flaming lotus was summoned, blazing fiercely in Lin Chen's palm.

The dark flaming lotus contained endless terrifying power. If it exploded, even a regular Martial Artist in the Nirvana Realm would be instantly reduced to ashes.

"Lin Chen, your Blue Lotus Divine Flame has been promoted to Fifth-Grade! Quick, help me upgrade my divine fire's quality grade too."

Looking at the flame in Lin Chen's hand, Zhao Rushi was instantly overjoyed. Judging from the color of Lin Chen's flame, it had evidently been upgraded to the level of Fifth-Grade flame.

Recently, as Zhao Rushi's alchemy skills improved, she could refine higher-grade elixirs, yet her Blue Lotus Divine Flame could no longer meet her needs.

Of course, compared to an average alchemist, Zhao Rushi's Blue Lotus Divine Flame surpassed many. But human desire is such that once having something good, one will pursue the ultimate. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

So Zhao Rushi had specially gone to the frontlines, looking for Lin Chen's second soul division, hoping he could use the Divine Fire Glazed Cup to help her upgrade her Blue Lotus Divine Flame.

However, Lin Chen's second soul division could only summon a Fourth-Grade Blue Lotus Divine Flame, proving incapable of upgrading Zhao Rushi's flame.

Seeing this, Zhao Rushi could only give up on upgrading her divine fire.

Yet unexpectedly, Lin Chen's divine fire had now been upgraded to Fifth-Grade, and for Zhao Rushi, this was undoubtedly fantastic news.

"Lin Chen, you surely have a way to upgrade my divine fire too, right?"

Zhao Rushi looked at the flame in Lin Chen's hand and instantly switched her demeanor, approaching Lin Chen, hooking her small hand around his arm, speaking tender words.

At this moment, Zhao Rushi no longer had the cold demeanor from before; she was entirely like a little girl.

This left Lin Chen quite helpless because, at present, he truly had no way to evolve Zhao Rushi's Blue Lotus Divine Flame.

"This flame of mine evolved to the Fifth-Grade in a fortuitous circumstance. In this current situation, I can't upgrade your Blue Lotus Divine Flame."

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Rushi and spoke in a helpless tone.

Zhao Rushi couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed upon hearing that.

However, Lin Chen's Blue Lotus Divine Flame upgrading was ultimately a good thing, and she felt happy for Lin Chen.

Additionally, once a magical item like a divine fire is subdued, it becomes sentient.

When Zhao Rushi refines elixirs in the future, she could call Lin Chen to borrow his Fifth-Grade divine fire.

Since Zhao Rushi also had the characteristics of the Blue Lotus Divine Flame in her body, she was extremely familiar with it, allowing her to use it with ease.

"I didn't come to boast about my Fifth-Grade Blue Lotus Divine Flame today; I wanted to show you something else."

Lin Chen spoke softly, then activated a seal technique, and the Fifth-Grade Blue Lotus Divine Flame in his hand instantly transformed into several petals. Under Lin Chen's control, they scattered across various corners of the alchemy room.

Next, Lin Chen willed them, and those flame petals turned back into several flaming lotuses.

Under Lin Chen's manipulation, the temperature changed from identical to varying levels.

The first one was at high temperature, the second was slightly lower, the third flaming lotus's temperature was even lower, and so on, until the last one split off.

Moreover, as Lin Chen controlled them, each flaming lotus's temperature could be adjusted at will.

"This... this is... such an amazing fire control technique!"

Zhao Rushi looked at Lin Chen's control over the flames and was instantly excited. She covered her cherry-like mouth, squealing like a little girl seeing something extraordinarily fascinating, jumping up and down on the spot.

Seeing the fire control technique Lin Chen demonstrated, Zhao Rushi was overjoyed because if she learned Lin Chen's fire control technique, she might be able to start attempting to refine Seventh-Rank elixirs with her current Sixth-Rank Alchemist level.

"Lin Chen, can you teach me this fire control technique?"

Zhao Rushi looked at Lin Chen, full of anticipation as she spoke.

Her biggest concern was that Lin Chen's fire control technique was a Divine Soul Forbidden Technique, not to be passed on.
