Chapter 3668

Lin Waner's words, to Yun Ruge and Song Ruyu, were not only enlightening but simply dispelled the embarrassment and hesitation in their hearts completely.

Among cultivators, the greatest gift is not medicinal pills and spirit stones, nor magical artifacts, but cultivation techniques.

This is like the principle of teaching someone to fish is better than giving them a fish.

Ye Chen did not stint on cultivation techniques, and spirit stones and pills were naturally no exception; adding to Ye Chen's long-standing kindness, the two understood a principle: being overly polite to Ye Chen was meaningless; what truly mattered was to repay his kindness wholeheartedly in the future.

Yun Ruge took the lead in standing up, bowed to Ye Chen, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your guidance and care; I, Ruge, vow in this life to bow my head and exhaust my strength for Mr. Ye, to serve with the devotion of an ox or horse!"

Song Ruyu also followed: "Mr. Ye, Ruyu is the same as Elder Sister Yun!"

Their gratitude overflowed in words.

Ye Chen smiled: "Alright, no need for so many polite words; you two seize the time to enter seclusion. I have found where spirit stones are, and there are still some unsolved mysteries. Miss Lin is well-versed and knowledgeable; I want to bring her along to investigate. During this time, you two stay here and focus on seclusion cultivation."

Ye Chen wanted to bring Lin Waner to the underground city at the Gate of Apocalypse to see: first, whether Lin Waner could enter; second, whether she could accompany him through the teleportation array. The secrets there, he temporarily dared to share only with Lin Waner alone, but he did not completely conceal it from the two and directly bring Lin Waner over, worrying that would be too abrupt, making them curious yet resentful. This half-spoken, half-hidden approach seemed to him the best solution: leave them here in seclusion, while he brings Lin Waner over, and everything would proceed smoothly and naturally.

Yun Ruge indeed did not think much, and immediately said respectfully: "Alright, Mr. Ye, during this time, Ruyu and I will cultivate diligently here, waiting for you and Miss Lin to return."

Song Ruyu obediently echoed: "Ruyu will certainly cultivate with all her strength; please rest assured, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, then said to Lin Waner: "Miss Lin, let us set off immediately!"

Lin Waner smiled without any hesitation and said: "This servant obeys the Young Master's commands."

……

Although Lin Waner's constitution did not fear severe cold, she was ultimately an un cultivated girl; Ye Chen could not bear to make her trek hundreds of kilometers on foot.

Therefore, this time he chose to drive a snow vehicle together with Lin Waner.

Fortunately, recently Antarctica has indeed become much more peaceful; a snow vehicle traversing the vast Antarctic ice cap would not attract satellite attention.

After the two drove twenty kilometers away from the European scientific station, Lin Waner then asked Ye Chen: "Young Master, on this trip, are you facing some major circumstance inconvenient to speak of?"

"Yes!" Ye Chen smiled and nodded, saying to her: "I finally know where the ring you gave me comes from; I am now bringing you to see that place! Moreover, I have also learned of its new function."

Lin Waner exclaimed in astonishment: "Could this ring not have been refined by your master's uncle?"

Ye Chen shook his head and laughed: "With Meng Changsheng's cultivation, how could he possibly have the ability to refine a teleportation array into a ring? He probably also obtained that ring by chance, felt he was about to die, and having no further use for it, gave it to your father. In fact, this ring was refined by those cultivators with great divine powers before the Dharma-Ending Age; it not only enables teleportation but also has a storage space, and those spirit stones were found within the ring's storage space."

Lin Waner exclaimed in shock: "Storage space?! Young Master means, is this ring itself possessing a virtual space that does not exist in the real world?!"

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then said: "Virtual space is not quite right; it can only be said that a high-dimensional space was folded by great divine powers into this ring, inside which there is roughly the space of two or three indoor basketball courts for storing items."

Ye Chen said, and with a thought, a spirit stone the size of an ostrich egg appeared out of nowhere in his hand, leaving Lin Waner stunned and gaping.

Afterwards, he again thought, and that spirit stone vanished into thin air, being taken back into the ring's space.

Lin Waner exclaimed in amazement: "I never imagined that cultivators of that time actually possessed such inconceivable divine powers!"

Ye Chen smiled: "You have not yet seen true great divine powers; when you arrive at the place, you will know."

Although Lin Waner's heart was very curious, since Ye Chen wanted to retain suspense, she forcibly suppressed her curiosity and did not ask further.

Several hours later, Ye Chen drove the car to the ice cave dug by Wu Bolin, parked the vehicle beside the cave, and said to Lin Waner: "Here it is; get out."

Lin Waner nodded, pushed open the car door and got out, seeing the pitch-black hole on the ice surface, and could not help but ask: "Young Master, this so deep a hole, did you dig it?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "The hole was dug by that elder of the Purity-Breaking Society; the place we want to go was also first discovered by him, but it seems he was blocked outside by the formation there, so he could not enter."

Lin Waner nervously asked: "Young Master, do you intend to bring this servant inside? This so deep a hole, this servant fears I cannot descend..."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "If I can bring you in, you should not need to descend into the hole to enter."

Lin Waner asked, puzzled: "Not need to descend into the hole?"

"Yes, you come with me." Ye Chen took Lin Waner's hand and came to the position of the teleportation array outside the cave; this place is the convenient entrance and exit from the Antarctic ice cap into the underground city, but those who have not mastered the heart method to activate the teleportation array cannot even see or perceive its existence and exact location.

Lin Waner's soft little hand was taken by Ye Chen; her heart fluttered like a startled deer, she bashfully followed Ye Chen to a spot on the ice cap, when Ye Chen was about to silently recite the heart method in his mind, Lin Waner suddenly pointed at the snow vehicle and said to Ye Chen: "Young Master, is it not unsafe to leave this vehicle here? Since your ring's space is large enough, why not store it in the ring?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "I had not thought of that; let's try!"

After speaking, he returned to the snow vehicle, placed his palm on it, his thought stirred slightly, and the snow vehicle before him instantly vanished in place, then reappeared within the ring's space.

Lin Waner stared wide-eyed, her face full of shock; Ye Chen himself was also somewhat shaken, although he knew the space was certainly large enough to hold the snow vehicle, yet such a large thing truly vanishing instantly into thin air still made him unable to help but exclaim in amazement.

Afterwards, Ye Chen returned to Lin Waner's side, took her hand again, and said: "Here there is a teleportation array that can directly transmit us to the place we want to go, but I am not sure whether you can follow me inside; if you cannot enter, then we can only return the same way; if only I enter and you remain here, do not panic, I will immediately return to find you."

Lin Waner looked at Ye Chen with her big eyes and smiled faintly, saying: "Young Master, rest assured; if you disappear, this servant will always wait here for your return!"
