As Lin Chen and his companions ventured deeper into the mountain forest, a few days later, they suddenly felt the spiritual energy in the space around them grow denser.
Lin Chen was overjoyed, and he quickened the pace of the group's advance, for the significant increase in the concentration of spiritual power around them signified the potential appearance of treasures.
Soon after, under Lin Chen's lead, the group arrived at a lake within the mountain forest.
It wasn't long before another group of martial artists also reached the lake.
This group had more people than Lin Chen's team, with around twenty individuals. Among them were a few disciples of the Divine Flame Sect, both men and women, while the others were from the Bodhi Hall and Third Person Pavilion.
At that moment, those martial artists also noticed Lin Chen and his party, but since Lin Chen's cultivation was relatively low, they didn't attract much attention from the others.
