Although Chen Lin was reminded by Tan Tai Yun Jin, he had no intention of going out to hunt monsters.
We have no idea how many monsters there are here, what types they are, or what abilities they have. It would be too dangerous to go out rashly.
After listening to the results of Zhao Hetang's interrogation, he went directly to the top of the hill and observed the huge gourd.
"This is a spiritual treasure, is it possible?"
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin discovered that this thing was made entirely of stone, and there was not even a trace of carving. The top side seemed to have been bitten by something, and a large piece was missing.
Through the gap, you can see that the inside is still solid.
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with spiritual treasures. At best, it is just a large stone that can glow and is shaped like a gourd.
Zhao Hetang, who came with him, nodded and said, "According to the records in the classics, it is very likely that if it were an ordinary luminous stone, it would not have the ability to shock the monsters here. Moreover, this thing can emit energy all the time, which is very similar to the description of spiritual treasures in the classics. Even the magic weapon used by Jindan Zhenren cannot do this."
Chen Lin became interested after hearing this. Zhao Hetang was knowledgeable and must have some understanding of it since he said so. He couldn't help but feel a little tempted. It would be great if he could take this thing away.
A spiritual treasure that is more advanced than a magic weapon must be priceless even if it is broken.
Unfortunately, the thing was too big and was connected to the hill below. Not to mention how heavy it was, there was no place to put my hands and I couldn't hold it at all.
He picked up the Qinglong Sword again and chopped at the stone gourd fiercely, but without leaving any trace.
Chen Lin now believed that this thing was a treasure. He thought about it and said, "While there is still time, I will have someone come over and hollow out the base of this thing for me. When I can leave, I will see if I can take it away!"
Zhao Hetang was stunned, and said with a bit of a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen, let alone we don't have magic power now, even if we do, the spiritual treasure can only be refined and used by those in the Golden Core Stage. How can we take such a big thing out? Can't we just move it away?"
Chen Lin nodded. "That's right, we will just move away. But it's just a try. There are so many people sitting around doing nothing anyway, so let's train first so that we can deal with the evil spirits and monsters here tomorrow."
Since Chen Lin said so, although Zhao Hetang felt it was a bit ridiculous, he still gave the order.
There is strength in numbers, and soon the bottom of the giant gourd was hollowed out. Chen Lin tried it, and he was able to shake it, but it was impossible to lift it with physical strength alone.
He couldn't help but shook his head, sighed, and didn't insist anymore.
"Brother Chen, is that woman really a Jindan Zhenren? Can she really break through the void?"
At night, Zhao Mengru lay beside Chen Lin and spoke softly.
The two of them were just lying there without doing anything. Zhao Mengru seemed to be interested, but Chen Lin looked like he didn't understand the situation.
"It's probably not a lie. Lying is meaningless. But according to Luan An, this Master Tan Tai can only recover his magic power for a moment. I don't know if he can take everyone away. You have to keep an eye on him so that he won't leave you behind."
"I'm watching, what about you?" Zhao Mengru was startled, propped up her upper body, and looked at Chen Lin nervously.
Chen Lin took a quick look and swallowed his saliva involuntarily, then said, "I'm going to try to kill some evil spirit monsters. If I reach the requirements to activate the mark, I might be teleported away directly, and I won't have time to take care of you then."
"Ah, will it be dangerous? Otherwise, we should just hide and wait for Master Tan Tai to break through the space."
Zhao Mengru spoke worriedly, and then took the opportunity to lean over Chen Lin, but Chen Lin blocked her with his hand.
"Why, Brother Chen, do you hate me that much?" Zhao Mengru said with some resentment.
Chen Lin said helplessly: "Didn't I explain it all? The technique I practice cannot be used with women. If you are really interested in me, just wait until my golden elixir is fully developed!"
Chen Lin had already felt the other party's intentions, and the other party had also sworn not to betray him, which meant that he would always stay by his side, so he really needed to give the other party a promise.
"Really?" Zhao Mengru's eyes lit up, and then she smiled and said, "It's a deal then. I don't need to be your main Taoist partner, as long as I have a status."
The next day.
All the monks gathered in the yard, wearing helmets and armor, waiting for the night to come with nervous expressions. Everyone knew that monsters here would riot on the night of the full moon, and they were very nervous.
Chen Lin only showed up once and then continued to look for Luan An to inquire about the information of the main continent.
During this period, he had asked the other party twice and learned a lot. However, once he left, he didn't know if he would be able to get together again. It would be better to take this opportunity to learn more about him.
According to the other party's introduction, the main continent they mentioned is called the Starry Continent. It is very vast, but it is also full of dangers.
There are no countries there, but rather a number of immortal cities. Each immortal city controls a certain area and is responsible for clearing dangers in the area so that mortals can survive. However, the life and death of mortals are controlled by the immortal cultivators, and their status is very low.
It is divided into the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent. The immortal cultivation world in the Southern Continent is more prosperous and has certain rules, while the immortal cultivation world in the Northern Continent is very chaotic and has more powerful demons and monsters.
The most important thing is that there are Yuanying Zhenjun who are superior to Jindan Zhenren, and their number has reached double digits!
This point alone is far beyond the Tianyuan Continent, so it is no wonder that the other party calls it Tianyuan Island.
Master Tan Tai had been making preparations in the room, but no one knew what he was preparing for. Luan An and Xu Zihua were guarding outside the door.
There was still some time before nightfall, so Chen Lin chatted with the two of them at the door.
"Have you two Taoist friends heard of the Hanhai Kingdom?"
Suddenly, Chen Lin remembered something and asked.
"Hanhai Country?"
Luan An was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "The Ancient Kingdom of Hanhai is a country from the ancient cultivation era. Why does the benefactor ask this?"
Chen Lin waved his hands and said, "Don't call me benefactor. It sounds too awkward. Fellow Daoist Luan is also in the foundation-building stage. We can just address each other as equals."
After the communication, Chen Lin already knew that Luan An was also a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, but Xu Zihua had only reached the great perfection of Qi training. The other female cultivator Xia Zhi who had always been with Tan Tai Yunjin was at the middle stage of foundation building.
Luan An hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then nodded with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is right. Things like favors should be kept in mind, not mentioned on the lips. I was obsessed. But when it comes to the Ancient Kingdom of the Vast Sea, it is actually not located anywhere else. Most of the southern part of the entire Starry Continent was under the jurisdiction of this country during the ancient cultivation period, and it was very prosperous and powerful."
"oh."
Chen Lin suddenly realized that the Hanhai Kingdom was adjacent to the Tianyuan Continent. No wonder Master Niankong and his sect appeared in the territory of Yan Kingdom.
Then he looked at the other person and asked, "According to legend, the Tianyuan Continent and the main continent were once one, and a super-powerful person killed an evil demon and split it with a sword, forming this sea area in the middle. Is this true?"
He has always been skeptical about this matter. What kind of existence must be able to split the land with a sword and form such a large sea area? Can this world really give birth to such a powerful being
Speaking of this, Luan An also shook his head and said, "There is a gap between the ancient cultivator era and the current cultivation world, which probably started around 3,000 years ago. Although some scattered information has been passed down, there is still no clear conclusion as to what happened specifically."
At this point, he thought for a moment and then spoke again: "But the most widespread legend is that an evil demon from another dimension broke through the boundary and attracted powerful monks from the upper realm to come down to the realm to kill it, causing the rules of this world to be unbalanced, spiritual energy to be lost, and even the earth's crust to undergo major changes. The Tianyuan Continent should have separated from the Star Continent at that time, and the strong winds and thunderstorms on the sea are all the result of the imbalance of rules."
He sighed again and said, "In the end, the prosperity of the ancient cultivation declined, and the world of cultivation entered the Dharma Ending Age. After nearly a thousand years of recuperation, it slowly recovered. Even so, there are still many remnants of evil spirits and evil thoughts from the time when the evil demons invaded in the world today, forming strange places everywhere, making this world extremely dangerous, and us cultivators are in a difficult situation."
Chen Lin listened attentively.
As he thought, the main continent had a much more detailed understanding of the cultivation world than the Tianyuan Continent. However, since Hanhai Kingdom was a country from the ancient cultivation era, it would probably be impossible to fulfill Master Niankong's last wish.
"Fellow Daoist Luan, have you ever heard of the Demon-Suppressing Temple and Cangyun Mountain?"
Although he had no hope, Chen Lin still asked.
Luan An thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of this, but I have been practicing in Tianyun Immortal City and rarely go to other places. It may be that I am ignorant of this."
After communicating with the two people, Chen Lin learned many things that he didn't know before and benefited a lot.
As he was talking, Chen Lin casually asked, "Do you two Taoist friends know about Wuzhen Tower?"
He has always been curious about this brothel organization that spans the continent. According to Madam Bai Gu, the alliance monks were able to get the opportunity to retreat this time because of the mediation of Yuanying Zhenjun behind Wuzhen Building. It is really mysterious that a brothel can achieve such a goal.
Moreover, the female cultivators in the film were indeed very skilled in martial arts, which he still recalls today.
"Why, has Fellow Daoist Chen also been to Wuzhen Tower?"
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Luan An's eyes suddenly lit up, and Xu Zihua next to him also perked up and sat up straight.
When Chen Lin saw their reactions, he knew that they had been there many times. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a slight sound coming from inside the house.
The two of them changed their expressions, and Luan An immediately sat up straight and said solemnly: "Wuzhen Tower was founded by Yuxuan Zhenjun, and it focuses on the great way of dual cultivation. However, I have never dabbled in this way, and I don't have such an idea."
Xu Zihua hurriedly echoed: "Me too."
Just as the two of them finished talking, they saw the door open and Master Tan Tai and the eldest sister who looked like a young girl walked out one after another.
