Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 164: Sneak attack

Without merit, you cannot exchange for pill recipes, and you can only choose to refine foundation-building pills.

However, the receptionist spoke again, "I'm sorry, Senior Lin, according to your status, you can only receive ten sets of foundation building pill materials at a time. If you exceed the limit, you will need to pay a deposit."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Lin heard a chuckle. It turned out to be one of the two women who had been checking the task on the other side.

One is in the foundation-building stage, the other is in the Qi-training stage, and the one who laughed is in the foundation-building stage.

Those who could appear here were all alchemists. Chen Lin glanced at them and ignored them.

It is not easy to create grudges when you first arrive.

"How much is the deposit?"

There is nothing that can be done about the newcomers not being trusted, and Chen Lin doesn't care.

"The deposit for each batch of materials is seven medium-grade spirit stones, and the maximum amount you can get each time is 200 batches."

The receptionist spoke hurriedly, she had finally gotten this position and didn't want to offend an alchemist in the foundation-building stage.

Chen Lin nodded, and without arguing with the receptionist, he directly took out the spirit stones and paid the deposit.

"No need for that. Master Lin Dan can just use my credit as a guarantee when he gets the materials."

Suddenly, a slightly tired voice sounded, and Mu Xingchen's figure appeared.

As soon as he appeared, the few people in the hall greeted him one after another, and even the staff inside came out to pay their respects.

Chen Lin also immediately went over to pay his respects.

Mu Xingchen waved his hand, signaling everyone to do what they were supposed to do, then took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chen Lin, saying, "I forgot before. You just entered the city and don't have any merits. Here are three Qingmo Pills. Use them first. You will have to earn merits to redeem the rest in the future."

"Thank you, Master Mu!"

Chen Lin respectfully took the pill bottle and put it away.

The Demon-Clearing Pill can clear away evil spirits. One pill can last for a month and one merit is required.

Although it is not of high value, it is a must-have for cultivators. Otherwise, they would have to use their magic power to resist the erosion of magic power in the air all the time and would not be able to practice.

Moreover, each person is only allowed to redeem one per month. If there are special circumstances such as going out on a mission, an application is required.

Directly cut off the possibility of private transactions.

He just checked and found that there was no task related to this pill in the task bar, which meant that it was not open to the public. The alliance needed to use this pill to control the monks.

This time when entering the city, what Chen Lin wanted most was the recipe for the elixir.

If he could refine this pill himself, if the situation got bad, he could find a corner to hide and practice.

But it seems that it is not easy to get it. Mu Xingchen definitely has it, but his relationship with the other party is not yet to the extent that he can violate the alliance regulations.

"Um."

Facing Chen Lin's thanks, Mu Xingchen hummed, and then casually said: "What about the Sun family's siblings, are they still obedient?"

"Very good, very well behaved. I have already taught them the basics of alchemy."

Chen Lin answered immediately.

At the same time, he also secretly wondered what the other party's relationship with the Sun family was. He actually cared so much about these two siblings. It was probably not just as simple as taking care of the orphans of the same sect.

The other party's words immediately answered his doubts.

Mu Xingchen said in a low voice, "The Sun family did not retreat when fighting against the Qishen Sect. The whole family died in the battle, showing the integrity of our Qingyang Sect. The Sect Master handed the two siblings over to me and asked me to take care of them, but I am busy with other things and don't have the time. I can only trouble you."

Chen Lin didn't expect the Sun family to be so brave, and said solemnly: "The younger generation must do their best!"

"Just pay some attention to it, and don't waste too much energy. Now is the time for the alliance to accumulate strength. If you can refine foundation-building pills, you can refine more. Okay, you go ahead, I have things to deal with."

Mu Xingchen didn't want to talk more, so he walked towards the room at the back of the hall.

"careful!"

At this moment, the Qigong cultivator among the two girls who had just sneered at Chen Lin suddenly rushed towards Mu Xingchen, and the aura on her body became strange, causing Chen Lin to exclaim in surprise.

Mu Xingchen himself was also in the late foundation building stage, and his reaction was even faster than Chen Lin's. He raised his hand and released a yellow light, which covered the woman's head.

But what he didn't expect was that the woman did not dodge, but rushed faster, and then her body suddenly swelled and exploded with a bang.

He actually blew himself up!

This was not an ordinary self-explosion. Its power was extremely terrifying. It directly blew off the roof of the hall and several people in the room were all knocked over by the air wave.

Chen Lin was no exception and was blown far away.

Fortunately, he activated the defensive talisman as soon as he found something was wrong, and after practicing the Golden Body Transformation, his body refining skills were further improved, so he did not suffer too much damage.

But his robe was torn and he looked a little disheveled.

Without bothering to think about anything else, Chen Lin activated three defensive talismans again, and then looked at Mu Xingchen in shock.

The power of this explosion is slightly stronger than that of PL-4. I don’t know if Mu Xingchen can withstand it.

As soon as I looked over, I saw a black dot appear at the explosion site, and it quickly enlarged into a black hole, and then tentacles emerged from the black hole.

Every day at the top of the tentacle, there is a huge mouth that opens and closes constantly.

Chen Lin felt an evil, terrifying, and heart-shaking aura emerging.

It made him feel small and powerless.

Without saying a word, he turned and ran.

Mu Xingchen’s cultivation level is higher than his, so there is no need for him to help. He has no control over the lives of others and can only try his best to protect himself.

But as soon as he moved his body, a tentacle shot towards him.

It was in front of me in the blink of an eye.

The mouth at the front of the tentacle was like a black hole, with endless suction force, trying to swallow Chen Lin's body.

Pulled by the suction, he couldn't escape, and had no time to take out his magic weapon. He could only roar, his body flashed with golden light, and suddenly expanded greatly. His fist was wrapped in purple flames, and he slammed towards the tentacles!

"Bang!"

When the fist as big as a bowl intersected with the tentacle, Chen Lin felt as if he had hit a solid wall. The huge recoil broke his tendons and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, after the tentacles touched the flames on the fist, they made a crackling sound, as if they were corroded, and retracted.

"Disgusting smell!"

The mouth on the tentacle opened and closed, and it actually uttered human words, and then slapped down towards Chen Lin with an even more terrifying momentum.

At this moment, the surrounding space shook, and a huge black hand appeared out of thin air, grabbing the black hole where the tentacles appeared. Seeing this, the tentacles hurriedly shrank and started a fierce confrontation with the black hand.

"Humph, this guy who claims to be a god's incarnation can only resort to such despicable sneak attacks!"

With a cold snort, Li Xuanming's figure appeared above the Dan Pavilion, and a magic weapon, the Judge's Pen, flew out of his body, emitting a dark light.

The monster's momentum stagnated.

"If you resist the gods, you will not end well!"

Perhaps it was because they saw Li Xuanming coming and felt that they had no advantage, so all the tentacles made sounds from their mouths and then quickly disappeared into the black hole, and the black hole closed accordingly.

Chen Lin looked around in shock, and only went forward to check the situation after making sure that the monster was really gone.

Then he saw Mu Xingchen standing blankly in the ruins, his body covered by a light shield and he was not hurt at all.

But he himself seemed to be restrained by the light shield, unable to move, and his expression was very anxious.

Not only can people not move, but no sound can be heard. Even if they open their mouths, no sound can be heard.

Except for Mu Xingchen, all the people who were originally in the mission hall failed to escape the disaster, including the sweet receptionist, who were left with only a few broken limbs.

The target of this incident must be Mu Xingchen. It can only be said that they were unlucky and happened to appear here at this time.

This made Chen Linxi feel a chill down his spine.

He originally thought that Danding City would be very safe, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived, which made him want to leave.

But if even here is not safe, where else can be safe!
