County government office.
Zhang Zitong explained everything and then returned to the main hall.
After listening to the report from his servants, he looked thoughtful.
"Are you sure he left the node?"
The old yamen runner at the side said hurriedly: "My Lord, I went in and took a look myself after returning, and the fluctuations at the node have not completely disappeared."
Zhang Zitong touched his chin and said in silence, "There's no need to guard that place anymore. Let's withdraw. Tell all the yamen runners not to cause trouble at Liu's Baozi Shop, otherwise they will be severely punished!"
"yes!"
The old yamen runner's expression froze, he quickly agreed, then slowly retreated.
Zhang Zitong continued to think.
"Being able to enter the real world with a projection body, could it be that he is really a powerful Hedao master? But even an ordinary Hedao master would find it difficult to do this, right?"
He whispered to himself, his eyes full of doubt.
After a while, he shook his head and muttered, "Never mind, whatever you want is fine. I won't provoke you. Just complete the transaction according to the contract."
The sound became smaller and smaller, and the figure became fainter and fainter, slowly disappearing.
Outside the node.
Chen Lin stood in the defensive formation and felt the projected body.
Then he nodded slightly.
Sure enough, after the soul was upgraded again, the resistance of the projection increased a lot. As long as he didn't use a large amount of soul power, he felt that he could maintain it in the real world for a long time.
"Greetings, sir!"
As he walked out of the defensive formation, a female monk guarding outside immediately came out to greet him.
"Hey, what's your name?"
Chen Lin asked in confusion.
He felt he had some impression of this person. It seemed that she was a maid that Sun Caiyi took in before he left Tiancang Realm. Now she actually had the cultivation level of the late Jindan stage.
But if you calculate the time, the other party is more than 300 years old, and he would not be able to live that long without entering the Golden Core stage.
When the female cultivator heard Chen Lin's question, she immediately replied, "My Lord, my name is Zhuang Yinlian, and I am the Second Madam's maid."
Chen Lin nodded.
His memory was correct; the Second Madam was what the disciples of the Yucai Sect called Sun Caiyi.
"What is your current position?"
Chen Lin asked casually.
"Your Excellency, I was previously the outer sect steward, but I have resigned from the position. Now I am responsible for guarding this place with a few other fellow disciples."
Zhuang Yinlian answered respectfully.
"Tell me about the situation at the sect."
Chen Lin continued to ask.
Zhuang Yinlian did not dare to be negligent and began to speak softly.
Chen Lin had already learned most of the information through the Wanjie Alliance scene, and there were no special changes.
The most noteworthy thing is that Yue Tianyi and Xue Honglan really became a Taoist couple. He came here this time with the idea of meeting these two people.
After listening, Chen Lin tried to use his soul power to open the storage ring. When he found that it could be opened, he took out a pill bottle from it.
He handed it to her and said with a smile: "Since you are the maid of the Second Madam, I have to give you some benefits. This is a Nine-Star Guiyuan Pill, which can increase the chance of forming a baby by 30%. I hope you can make further progress on the path of the Great Dao."
Zhuang Yinlian was overjoyed.
He bowed down quickly and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir!"
However, Chen Lin waved his hand, performed a secret technique and disappeared on the spot.
A pill used by a Jindan cultivator is nothing to him, but it may change the other person's life, and it can also be considered as accumulating some good karma for Sun Caiyi.
He did not use the teleportation array to go to Yucai Sect, but it was not because he could not use it. Although the projected body could not use magic power, he could still activate the teleportation array with the help of some puppet artifacts.
The reason for not doing this is that one is worried that something might happen to the projected body during the transmission process. After all, there is no precedent for this, and there is no need to try it rashly unless there is any danger.
In addition, he also wanted to test what the projected body could do in the outside world.
After reaching the ground, Chen Lin spread his soul wings and flew into the air, flying in the sky like a big bird.
Then he waved his hand, and a huge, shadowy hand reached forward and grabbed.
This is the effect of soul-binding magic.
Although this technique is used to capture souls, now that his soul power is strong, it is not impossible to use it as a means of attack. If the enemy's soul strength is not high, he can directly grab the opponent's soul out of the body.
Looking at the solid state of his palm, Chen Lin couldn't help but nodded.
Then, with a thought, the Thundergod's Sword shot out, turned around and returned to the body. Then, a blade of light flashed, and the Blade of Destiny was released.
He felt more at ease knowing that he could use these two most powerful methods, but this was expected, and both of these methods did not consume soul power.
Then, Chen Lin turned his palm and took out another black round bead.
This was when they were exploring the Immortal Palace and dealing with the remnant of Duo Luo's clone. Zi Shu gave him a soul defense magic treasure, which was at the peak level of the spiritual transformation level. However, since he had the Soul Armor Technique, he hardly used any of it.
He tried to inject his soul power into the bead, which immediately activated and formed a black light shield that enveloped him.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, the projection was separated from the Demon Realm and was no longer bound by its rules, so some treasures that could not be manifested in the Demon Realm could also be used.
Of course, the prerequisite is that it can be driven by soul power. It won’t work if it is driven by magic power.
But this also made him very happy. He had quite a few treasures on him that could be activated by soul power. In this way, his safety would be greatly increased.
After putting away the round pearls, Chen Lin tried the rusty knife, soul-destroying finger, soul armor technique, soul transmission and some low-level soul secret techniques, and they were all able to be used normally.
Finally, he released the Lingbao scholar again.
Strictly speaking, this spiritual treasure is also a soul-type item, or it can be said to be a puppet controlled by soul power, so it must be able to be activated.
Sure enough, the scholar was inspired and bowed to him.
Then he demonstrated two more magical powers, and their power was no different from normal.
"good!"
Chen Lin praised.
The scholar now has the combat power of the Void Refining Level. With this helper, his projected body will be safer.
The only regret is that the Green Ivy Shield cannot be used, otherwise the combat power would be almost the same as the real body.
After some experiments, Chen Lin felt that his soul power had been consumed a lot, so he fell to the ground.
Without the nourishment of the physical body, the recovery of soul power is very slow and cannot be over-consumed.
After thinking for a while, he took out a pill bottle.
After a slight hesitation, he took out a pill and carefully put it into his mouth.
After taking the pill, Chen Lin was stunned at first, and then he was surprised and happy!
"This projection body is completely different from a pure soul. What kind of existence is it?"
After the surprise, Chen Lin frowned again, looking confused.
What he had just eaten was the Soul-Restoring Pill, thinking of trying to use it to replenish his soul power. He originally did not hold out much hope, after all, the Soul-Restoring Pill was not the Nine-Transformation Soul-Condensing Pill, and it was not specifically for ghosts, and required a physical body to refine.
But I didn’t expect that it actually works!
This means that the projection body is actually a kind of "flesh body", but it is not made of flesh and blood, but exists in a form that he cannot understand at present.
This is such a pleasant surprise.
If he could use the Soul-Restoring Pill to restore his soul power, he wouldn't have to worry about the consumption and would no longer be restricted in his actions.
After the surprise, Chen Lin fell into thought again.
Because the elixir cannot be manifested in the projection state, he didn't think about it in this regard before. Now it seems that his thinking was too conservative.
There is a loophole in the rules of the Demon Realm nowadays. It doesn’t matter if the projection cannot manifest items. He can use his real body to bring them in for transit. He has a storage bag from the Demon Realm and can store them at will. In this way, all soul-related treasures and elixirs can be used in the projection state!
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more he felt that this loophole had great potential and could be used in many places.
You should plan it carefully when you have time, especially it will be of great help in completing the title mission.
While he was thinking, his soul power had almost recovered. He put away his thoughts, glanced in the direction of Yucai Sect, spread his soul wings and flew away.
