The stone house before them was vast, its ceiling embedded with luminous gemstones that cast a bright light illuminating the entire stone house.
Within the house, there were many stone tables and shelves adorned with all sorts of treasures.
Lin Chen set down Mu Shuier but did not rush to take those treasures; instead, after giving a few brief instructions, he turned around to go back and bring back Zhao Yijing and Xu Lianyu.
Watching Lin Chen return, everyone was shocked to see that this freak indeed had some strength, being able to move back and forth freely under such heavy gravity.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, is Third Sister alright?"
Xu Lianyu asked with concern, and Lin Chen nodded to indicate she was fine, then bent down to carry Xu Lianyu on his back and dashed forward once more.
After several such trips, Lin Chen finally carried Zhao Yijing for a distance, then sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
At this time, other martial artists also arrived at the stone house and, seeing the treasures on the tables, their eyes immediately gleamed with excitement, but their bodies were so weak they didn’t have the strength to even crawl. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novęlfire.net
"Take the elixirs and recover quickly."
Meanwhile, Lin Chen and people like Zhao Yijing sat down cross-legged on the spot to recover; with the elixirs Lin Chen gave them, their recovery was swift.
However, some were not willing to give up. Seeing the treasures right in front of them, they were naturally ready to fight to the death for their share.
But when they reached out to grab the treasures on the stone tables, they discovered there were restrictions placed over the stone tables and shelves.
The martial artists had just come through the gravity channel and had no strength left to break these restrictions, so they looked at Lin Chen and the others, then quickly sat down in a meditative pose to rapidly restore their spiritual power.
At this moment, everyone was focused on restoring their spiritual power, but Lin Chen was different. While he was recovering his spiritual power, he found that his Ancient Divine Body was undergoing a change, and his meridians were expanding, the strength of his Divine Body evolving. Lin Chen knew that his Ancient Divine Body had reached the Second Tier.
It was said that upon evolving to its ultimate form, the Ancient Divine Body could achieve sainthood with flesh alone, its physical strength powerful enough to shatter mountains and rivers with a single punch.
Now, Lin Chen opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body and felt immensely joyful. His body had reached an unprecedented level of strength; it seemed this gravity channel had benefitted him greatly.
As Lin Chen woke up, many other martial artists also emerged from their meditative states and they cast wary glances at Lin Chen, deeply wary of this martial artist with only First Layer Melding Earth Realm cultivation.
At this time, those who woke up first could, if they wished, kill those still in meditation to have fewer competitors and monopolize the treasures here.
These martial artists looked at Lin Chen and originally entertained such thoughts since Lin Chen’s performance in the gravity channel was too formidable, clearly not an easy opponent, but seeing that Lin Chen had awakened, their intentions dissipated.
They were joking; they didn’t dare to be the first to target Lin Chen.
At that moment, the martial artists who had woken up first began to impatiently break the restrictions on the stone tables in front of them, eager to obtain the treasures within.
As everyone recklessly destroyed the surroundings, someone indeed shattered the protective restrictions on the stone tables and shelves, revealing countless elixirs, all of which were Third Grade or above.
"We’ve struck it rich, to think there are so many Third Grade Elixirs."
Everyone was extremely excited and immediately started to loot, not caring about the attributes or effects of the elixirs, and just wanted to pocket them.
At this time, Zhao Yijing, Xu Lianyu, and others also woke up.
"It looks like we’re all fine, let’s hurry and snatch those elixirs."
Lin Chen spoke and then approached a stone table, sending out a punch that easily shattered the restrictions and he began to gather the elixirs inside.
Zhao Yijing, Xu Lianyu, and the others weren’t idle either, each of them starting to spring into action.
At this moment, time was of the essence since, although the stone house was large, there were also many people present. Taking advantage of the fact that many were still recuperating in meditation with less competitive power, grabbing more elixirs now counted for a lot.
Zhao Yijing and others had Spatial Rings with vast storage capacities and were quickly collecting handfuls of elixirs.
The other Martial Artists only had storage bags with much smaller space that also contained other treasures, and so they couldn’t fit many elixirs, especially since these were Third Grade Elixirs which needed to be collected along with the wooden boxes on the stone tables that housed them. Otherwise, once out of their boxes, the potency of the elixirs would be exposed to the air and diminish over time.
Xu San and Ma Yuan from the Black Cloud Sect also woke up from their meditation and coldly glanced at Lin Chen. Although they wanted to settle scores with Lin Chen, they held back. They knew well that the current priority was to loot the elixirs here.
So, everyone began to snatch up the elixirs. Many weaker individuals, just after shattering the restrictions, were driven back by those with higher strength, and their loot was taken away. The weaker ones had to find another stone table, break the restrictions, and that way, they would also manage to obtain some elixirs.
The phenomenon in the stone house was apparent; those with higher Cultivation got more elixirs, the ones with lower Cultivation put in lots of effort to break the restrictions only to have their loot snatched away, often having to break several restrictions to get their hands on elixirs.
Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing, among others, neither sought trouble from others nor did anyone dare to bother them, given their earlier performance. At this point, nobody wanted to be the first to test Lin Chen’s abilities.
Right now, as Lin Chen watched many elixirs being taken by other Martial Artists, he felt a pang of loss, but he also knew that with so many elixirs, it wasn’t practical to take them all for himself.
With the infinite space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the number of elixirs Lin Chen obtained was several times that of ordinary Martial Artists.
The other Martial Artists started from indiscriminately storing any elixirs they could find in their storage bags to later becoming more selective.
Because they really couldn’t fit any more, they suddenly shot envious and jealous looks toward Lin Chen, especially at the Spatial Ring on his finger.
Just as everyone thought they had harvested a full bounty, the stone house suddenly trembled, and the walls revealed twelve stone tables with Jade Vials placed on top.
Out of curiosity, someone immediately broke the restrictions and discovered that the vials on the stone tables contained Fourth Grade Elixirs.
So many Fourth Grade Elixirs, with twelve stone tables in total, probably accounted for at least a thousand bottles, with an unknown quantity inside.
Immediately, everyone crazily began to loot again.
