302: There is drama

Previously, Lu Chen did not want to touch the Fallen Immortal within his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, because the Female Immortal's severed hand seemed to have always been in a special state.

Furthermore, being within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, this Female Immortal's severed hand had become extremely strange; although Lu Chen had never received any feedback from this hand, as the master of the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, he could faintly sense that this severed hand was likely being nurtured by the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin as a Dao Soldier.

Therefore, this severed hand and the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin had likely established a certain connection!

The previous instance where this severed hand 'led' Lu Chen to see the Blood Eye of that Demon Clan Fallen Immortal was perhaps a sign.

In addition, Lu Chen knew that no living being could enter his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin; the fact that this severed hand could be taken into his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin could only mean one thing!

That is, this severed hand is likely also in a state of 'neither life nor death'!

In short, there was a certain chance that this severed hand could be awakened by him, and also a certain chance that after being awakened, it would choose to lend a hand; everything needed to be tested to find out.

With this thought, Lu Chen no longer hesitated and once again chose to enter the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin with his Yang God, stepping directly into the depths and arriving before the severed hand.

As before, this severed hand showed no fluctuation or movement, as if it had died countless years ago.

"Senior, may we talk?" Lu Chen tentatively asked.

There was no response; the severed hand remained unmoved.

'You've been nurtured by my Immortal Coffin for so long, don't you know your attitude is terrible!' Lu Chen grumbled inwardly.

At least pay the 'rent', right!

However, Lu Chen had anticipated this and spoke to himself, "The Demon Clan's Fallen Immortal has appeared, intending to devour the entire Qingming Human Clan as a great medicine. Even the Ascension Realm Seniors of my sect were unable to suppress him. I wonder if Senior could lend a hand and help my Qingming Human Clan."

The severed hand still showed no reaction.

Lu Chen waited for a long time but ultimately did not receive a response from the severed hand. 'Playing dead? Or unable to act?'

Or perhaps, this severed hand simply doesn't care about the life and death of the Qingming Human Clan?

Could it be that this severed hand previously showing him the Blood Eye of that Demon Immortal was merely to warn him and tell him to leave Qingming?

My head hurts!

After all, this severed hand is also a Fallen Immortal; Lu Chen probably couldn't beat him if he tried. To discard it, to be honest, he couldn't bear to, as it's a Fallen Immortal nurtured in the Immortal Coffin, and might be of great use.

But this severed hand is ignoring him...

I refuse to believe it. Having entered my Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, you can still ignore me, the master of this Immortal Coffin.

Thoughts raced through Lu Chen's mind. This severed hand, whether it wants to or not, must act, otherwise Qingming will likely be destroyed.

So, how can I make him act?

In an instant, Lu Chen began to recall everything that had happened since this severed hand entered the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

In his memory, since this severed hand entered the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, it had caused a stir twice in total.

The most recent time, naturally, was in the Jiyuan Sea Secret Realm, when the severed hand actively 'led' Lu Chen to see the Blood Eye of that Demon Immortal.

And the time before that, it seemed to be...

That's right, in the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, right here in the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb.

At that time, when he first entered the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, he found this severed hand underground. Later, in the remnant tomb, Li Jinyi, another Disciple of the Third Elder, came to trouble him and was killed by him, then left in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin. As a result, his Physical Body was shattered by this severed hand, and even the Dao Embryo that Li Jinyi had hidden could not escape.

Lu Chen remembered clearly that after Li Jinyi's Physical Body was shattered, it turned into a white light and was absorbed by the severed hand.

At first, Lu Chen thought this severed hand was eating 'people', but later Lu Chen discovered that it was because this fellow Li Jinyi had obtained a 'tongming flower' and eaten most of it, but it hadn't been completely refined, so most of the medicinal power remained in his body, and was then absorbed by this severed hand.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration instantly crossed Lu Chen's mind, 'The severed hand also needs spiritual objects to replenish its vitality!'

Yes, it must be so.

As fellow Fallen Immortals, that Demon Immortal devoured the essence blood of many cultivators as soon as he appeared, and now he is using the Great Experts, Great Power, and Heavenly Pride of the Human Race as great medicine. Aren't all these actions also for restoring vitality!

However, unlike the Demon Immortal, this severed hand entered his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin and thus established a connection with his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin. Therefore, even though Lu Chen had obtained many good things and placed them in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, this severed hand had never actively touched any of Lu Chen's things.

He seemed to know what was useful to Lu Chen and what was not. For things that were useful to Lu Chen, this severed hand would not touch them.

Unfortunately, up to now, Lu Chen has only obtained Li Jinyi, a useless guy who was useful to the severed hand.

'Let me try him.' As Lu Chen's thoughts turned, he already had a plan.

He couldn't take out heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but he had plenty of things to replenish vitality.

The lifelong accumulations of various Heavenly Pride and even Old Red Dragon, this Great Expert, were still lying in his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, filled with pills, spiritual stones, and many spiritual objects that Lu Chen himself couldn't even identify.

These things could all be used to restore vitality, and compared to the tiny bit of tongming flower residue medicinal power that this severed hand obtained from Li Jinyi back then, they were tens of thousands of times stronger.

To be honest, the residual tongming flower medicinal power on Li Jinyi could at most be considered leftovers that Lu Chen wouldn't even look at, yet this severed hand still 'ate' it with relish, which shows that this severed hand was truly 'hungry'.

Lu Chen refused to believe that when he took out mountains of spiritual stones, precious medicines, and spiritual objects to 'feed' this severed hand, it would not be tempted.

"Since Senior is unwilling, this Junior will not force it. However, this Junior has recently obtained many things but cannot distinguish their quality. If Senior does not mind, please help me take a look." Lu Chen changed the subject, bringing up another matter.

If you want to ask for help and give a gift, you can't be too direct, after all, a Fallen Immortal also needs Face.

The severed hand still did not respond, but Lu Chen didn't care. He simply waved his hand, and the countless spiritual stones, precious medicines, and spiritual objects piled up in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin were moved by Lu Chen like a large mountain, slowly floating down before the severed hand.

Lu Chen might not be able to identify other pills, but how could he not recognize spiritual stones?

Severed hand: "......"

No movement.

Lu Chen was not in a hurry, he just waved his hand again, and in an instant, another large mountain piled with spiritual stones, precious medicines, and spiritual objects moved horizontally and lightly landed before the severed hand.

The vast spiritual energy, medicinal fragrance, and spiritual light mixed together; just taking a sniff would cause one's magical power to become restless, and the flickering spiritual light made it hard to open one's eyes.

The severed hand still did not respond.

But Lu Chen saw clearly that when he moved the second large mountain piled with spiritual stones, precious medicines, and spiritual objects, the middle finger of that severed hand clearly twitched, as if...

A little child whose greedy cravings had been stirred up was swallowing saliva frantically.

"There's a chance!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
