After leaving Qian Li, Chen Lin walked around the city again, but did not find any other way.
Finally, he walked towards his residence with a gloomy face.
Suddenly, his expression changed and he glanced somewhere behind him, as if someone was following him.
"Who are you?"
Chen Lin stopped and turned to stare at an old man behind him.
"You are, Fellow Daoist Lin Feiyu, right?"
When the old man was discovered, he did not panic. Instead, he stared at Chen Lin's face for a while and asked.
Chen Lin frowned and said, "Yes, who are you and why are you following me!"
Since the other party could call out his name, Chen Lin did not hide it.
"It's really you, Fellow Daoist Lin. I've been looking for you for so long!" The old man looked relieved and said, "I'm Qian Yuyan, the alchemist of Dan Pavilion. Here is a letter that Master Mu Xingchen asked me to give to you. I've been looking for you for almost half a year, and I thought you hadn't returned to Danding City at all!"
"Letter, what letter?"
Chen Lin's expression changed. If it was a letter left for him by Mu Xingchen, then he might have missed something important.
The old man did not take out the letter directly, but looked around vigilantly and whispered: "It is inconvenient to talk here, fellow Taoist, please follow me."
As he spoke, he walked towards a remote alley.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, took out a talisman to break the formation and held it in his hand, then followed.
As soon as he walked into the narrow alley, before the other party turned his head, Chen Lin raised his hand, and the spiritual jade bracelet he had been wearing on his wrist flew out of his hand, and in a flash it landed above the old man's head.
"you!"
The old man felt the fluctuation of the spiritual weapon and just as he made a move, he was caught by the jade bracelet. He only had time to say the word "you" before Chen Lin, who followed him, knocked him out with a punch.
Chen Lin nodded. This bracelet was a magical weapon and was indeed effective in capturing people alive.
He planned unintentionally and captured the opponent instantly even though he was a foundation-building cultivator.
In fact, Chen Lin was not sure whether the other party had bad intentions, but this person was sneaky, and at this critical juncture on the eve of retreat, he did not want to cause any trouble, so he simply captured the person first regardless of whether it was true or not, and then make a decision.
If it was a mistake, and the other party was indeed delivering the letter for Mu Xingchen, he could give him more compensation and the other party would probably forgive him.
Looking at the old man who was knocked unconscious, Chen Lin took out a large package, pasted a talisman to shield energy fluctuations inside, and then put the package in.
He changed his appearance into a sturdy young man, concealed his cultivation level as the middle stage of Qi training, and walked out of the alley carrying the package.
It was normal for a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training to not have a storage bag. Even if he did, most of them were only one cubic meter. So carrying a package was not eye-catching at all, and he returned to his residence smoothly.
After entering the house, Chen Lin immediately set up an isolation formation and released the old man.
"What do you mean, my friend? I sent you a letter with good intentions, but you treat me like this?"
After being awakened, the old man was immediately shocked and angry, and started questioning loudly.
Chen Lin sneered and said, "Don't pretend. I have cultivated the Buddhist mind-reading ability. Do I need to tell you what you think?"
After saying this, he started practicing his skills and released the Buddha's power.
The old man sensed the existence of Buddha's power, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "What do you want?"
Chen Lin's expression was startled. Judging from the other party's tone, it was not just as simple as delivering a letter!
He said that Dan Pavilion and Fu Pavilion are now in the same department of the Quartermaster Department. If the other party really wants to find him, there is no way they won't find him. I'm afraid they have some plans against him.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out several sealing talismans, completely sealed the old man's magic power, and then stepped aside.
With a wave of his hand, he took the other person's storage bag and began to erase the mental imprint on it.
Because the master was still alive, it took a long time to remove the brand. Chen Lin did not check it directly, but hid aside, took out the monkey puppet, and commanded the puppet from a distance to pour out the contents of the storage bag.
After making sure there was no danger, he went forward to check.
The old man witnessed Chen Lin's entire operation and finally understood where he went wrong.
How can a person be like this
Isn’t he tired!
Chen Lin saw an envelope at a glance, with the words "Headline from Lin Feiyu" written on it.
But now the envelope has been opened, and inside is a note, a sea chart, and a jade talisman.
"This jade talisman has restrictions and can only be opened with the power of the Vermillion Bird."
There were only these few words on the note, and judging by the handwriting, it seemed to be written by Mu Xingchen.
The power of Suzaku
Chen Lin grinned. It seemed that Luo Qinglan was the only one in the entire Tianyuan Continent who possessed the power of the Vermillion Bird. Could it be that this communication talisman was left to him by Luo Qinglan
Then he opened the nautical chart. The sea area depicted on it was very large, with many islands, each of which was numbered.
Seeing this, he understood a little.
This Qian Yuyan might really have been commissioned by Mu Xingchen, but the other party was tempted by the money and coveted the secrets in the letter, but was unable to open the jade talisman, so he came to him.
If the other party really wanted to forward the letter to him, it would be impossible for him to open it and check it in advance. Even if he couldn't help but read it out of curiosity, he would at least pretend to restore it to its original state, right
Thinking of this, Chen Lin looked at the other party and said, "I can give you a chance to explain. Let's see how you can convince me not to kill you!"
At this point, the old man calmed down. He sneered and said, "Yes, I want to know what information is in this jade talisman. Since you found it, it's my fault."
"But if you want to kill me, you have to think carefully. I have contacted my friends before coming here. If I don't go back at night, they will look for me. If they can't find me, they will report it to the alliance."
"And what a coincidence, you and I are both in Master Pang's team. If you are really charged with killing your companions, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to retreat with the team!"
Chen Lin shook his head. What a fool.
He has probably been in Dan Pavilion all his life and has no idea of the cruelty of the outside world. He can actually say such fearless words at this moment.
He was too lazy to waste words with the other party, so he walked up and slapped him to death.
Then, he began to refine the soul-binding talisman.
After the talisman was completed, it was immediately activated. A light enveloped the entire room and the old man's soul appeared.
But what made Chen Lin frown was that the other party's soul was very dull. It was not as lively as the soul that was manifested by the soul-binding talisman before, as if it had lost its sanity.
It seems that this soul-binding talisman also has limitations, and not all souls can be manifested and bound.
It's fine for those at the Qi training stage, but the souls of the foundation-building cultivators are flawed. It is estimated that for stronger souls, the talisman will explode directly, just like when they tried to detain the Son of God of the Qishen Sect.
He shook his head.
In this case, it would be impossible to force more information out, but the remaining soul was still put into the talisman.
"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it. It's just right. Your remaining soul may come in handy!"
Chen Lin looked at the talisman, muttered something, and put it away.
Then, he took out the talisman that Luo Qinglan had given him. This was the only item on him that possessed the power of the Vermillion Bird.
Without hesitation, he sent a ray of energy from the talisman onto the jade talisman.
Sure enough, the jade talisman was immediately activated, and Luo Qinglan's cold voice rang out.
"There is a teleportation array on the ninth island in the sea map. I found it when I was exploring before. I don't know where it leads to, but it is likely to be the main continent. If you want to try it, prepare one top-grade spirit stone and nine high-grade spirit stones!"
There were only a few short sentences, and then the jade talisman shattered.
Chen Lin was stunned for a while, then he took a breath and unfolded the nautical chart.
Perhaps to confuse people, the nautical chart covers a large area. Island No. 9 is roughly located in the direction of the Sea King Sect, but it is in the distant sea.
After checking it for a while, he put away the chart and left the room.
