Chen Lin, who was sleeping, sat up in shock and immediately checked his surroundings, and found that he was already in his residence.
I got out of bed and pushed the door open. It was a quiet night outside, and there was nothing unusual.
"Was it just a dream?"
Chen Lin muttered.
But he knew that this was definitely not a dream.
because.
He stretched out his palm, and a black object appeared in his palm, it was the magic coin!
Chen Lin took the magic coin in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while. Apart from the aura of the sarcophagus, there was nothing special about it.
No matter whether magic power or spiritual consciousness is used, it is impossible to make it change.
After looking at it for a while, he carefully put the magic coins into the jade box, affixed several sealing symbols on it, and then put it into the storage bag.
Then he checked the house carefully inside and out and fell into thought.
He remembered that in addition to the magic coins, he was also holding a wisp of straw, but now there were only magic coins and no straw.
This means that not everything in there can be taken out, and the magic coin should be a special existence.
"What exactly is that place? Is it an interface related to dreams, or a special space created by the things in the sarcophagus?"
Chen Lin stood under the night sky, gazing at the mine from afar, his brows furrowed.
After a moment, he shook his head.
This matter is becoming more and more bizarre and is beyond his ability. He must go back tomorrow no matter what. Even if it causes the displeasure of the Silver Fairy, he must report the matter.
After making the decision, Chen Lin no longer had the desire to sleep and kept watching the night view until the sky turned pale, and then he saw a figure rushing towards him.
"Elder Chen, this is bad. Several more monks have turned into scarecrows, including Fellow Daoist Qi!"
The person who came was Feng Kuocheng, and his tone was filled with panic.
"What, Fellow Daoist Qi has also turned into a scarecrow?"
Chen Lin was shocked.
This Fellow Daoist Qi is one of the two mid-intermediate level cultivators, named Qi Yunzhi. He is quite powerful, but he unexpectedly fell into the trap.
But what surprised him was that he also entered that mysterious space last night and did not see anyone else. Could it be that everyone's situation was independent and did not interfere with each other
"Did these people all come into contact with the scarecrows transformed by the Qigong cultivators?"
After calming down, Chen Lin asked in a deep voice.
Feng Kuocheng nodded and said, "Yes, after you left yesterday, Elder Chen, Fellow Daoist Qi led his men to gather all the scarecrows together and put them away. But there shouldn't be any problems with the scarecrows, right? Fellow Daoist Qi and his men were just like you. They didn't come into direct contact with the scarecrows. Instead, they used tools to operate them and didn't touch them at all during the entire process."
At this point, he said solemnly, "Elder Chen, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building died. This is a very serious matter. I need to report to Master He. Do you have any instructions?"
Chen Lin glanced at the other party, nodded and said, "Report it. I will also go back immediately to report this matter to Master."
He was just the construction supervisor, and the other party was not his direct subordinate, and his cultivation was higher than his. Being able to come and inform him first was already a favor to him.
However, since the other party had reported, he could not delay any longer. After instructing them not to let anyone get close to the scarecrows and the mine, he took out his flying boat and flew away.
Feng Kuocheng looked at Chen Lin's disappearing figure with a frown on his face.
He rushed here so early in the morning. Although he had reasons for Qi Yunzhi and others, he was actually more worried that Elder Chen would also become a scarecrow. After all, he had also come into contact with a scarecrow yesterday.
But the other party was fine, which made him a little confused.
Several people came into contact with the scarecrow, and something happened to everyone except him. It seemed like something was not right.
"No, the matter must be reported immediately!"
As he was thinking about it, Feng Kuocheng's face changed, and he immediately took out a communication talisman to send a message to Master He. If there was any problem with Elder Chen, he would not be able to take the responsibility.
Due to the crazy expansion of the Silver Immortal City and the opening of the teleportation array, the number of cultivators in the city has increased dramatically. Spiritual fields have been opened up outside the city, extending far out, and there is a tendency for it to border the auxiliary city.
Chen Lin flew all the way, sighing at the great changes in the fairy city, and became more determined to stay here. If he went somewhere else, there would be no Yuanying Zhenjun disciple for him to be.
"You, Elder Chen, why do you look so much more haggard after not seeing you for two years?"
As soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Lin met the person he least wanted to see, the current elder of the Alchemy Hall, Lu Yuan.
"It's Fellow Daoist Lu." Chen Lin greeted him casually, and said as he walked inside: "You have become a lot fatter in the past two years. It seems that you have consumed a lot of elixirs from the Pill Hall!"
After saying this, without waiting for the other party to say anything else, he walked quickly inside, but saw Master He head-on.
He could ignore Lu Yuan, but he couldn't ignore the other party, so he stopped and saluted, saying, "Hello, Senior Brother!"
"Um."
Master He hummed calmly, no longer as kind as he was two years ago.
He looked at Chen Lin with a cold expression and said, "What happened? I asked you to supervise the construction of an auxiliary city, but you caused such a big accident. Not only did a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building die, but the problem has not been solved yet. In another half a year, Master will hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony. By then, the four auxiliary cities will be put into use. The other three cities have basically been built. Only you have a problem. If the ceremony is delayed, how will you explain to Master?"
"What, Nascent Soul Ceremony?"
Chen Lin was stunned that he had not received any news about such an important matter.
"That's right, and the date has been set. It's still half a year away. I've been too busy lately to take care of other things, so you have to deal with the matter of the auxiliary city by yourself. What can't you do with a mere evil ancient sarcophagus? If you really can't help it, ask other brothers for help. Don't delay the important matter!"
"Yes, I understand, Senior Brother, but I still have something I want to report to Master. I wonder if Master is in the mansion?"
Chen Lin didn't want to mention what happened in his dream to the other party. He always felt that the other party was deliberately suppressing him. Even information like the Nascent Soul Ceremony was deliberately omitted from him. It would be useless to tell him, and it might even cause other troubles. It would be more reliable to go directly to the Silver Fairy.
However, a word from the other party shattered his hope.
"Master is setting up a formation to migrate the ultimate spiritual veins and is not in the city. Tell me if you have anything to say. If I can't solve it, I will tell Master."
Chen Lin paused, hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It's still about the sarcophagus. In that case, I'll find a way to deal with it myself. I won't bother you, Senior Brother."
Master He looked at Chen Lin deeply and said, "Master is of such high status and has just been promoted to Yuanying Zhenjun not long ago. She has many things to do. Don't bother her with trivial matters. Besides, this matter is also a time to prove your ability. Master hates timid and cowardly people the most. If you leave this impression on her, you will be expelled from the sect!"
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Chen Lin and left with Lu Yuan.
Chen Lin watched the two men disappear from his sight, pondered for a while, went into the mansion to confirm the information, and then went straight to the Formation Hall.
Master He did not lie. The Silver Fairy was indeed not in the city, and Mu Linglong had not returned yet. So he planned to ask a formation master to seal the mine and the place where the scarecrow was first, and then make a decision after seeing his master.
In short, he would not risk touching that kind of evil thing again. He survived this time thanks to his natural ability. What would he do next time if he was not going to make items
That’s a place where even those in the middle stage of foundation building can be attacked!
As for whether doing so would cause displeasure to the Silver Fairy, he didn't care. Although he really wanted to stay here, he would not force it if he really couldn't stay.
He had traveled all the way through such a dangerous place as the Tianyuan Continent, so he would not die if he left the Silver Immortal City. If all else failed, he would find a way to rent a long-distance teleportation array and go to the Tianyun Immortal City to find Tan Tai Yunjin.
"Hello, Master Xu!"
I was lucky this time. After arriving at the Formation Hall, I met Xu Chengyue directly. He is now also an elder of the Formation Hall.
"It's Elder Chen. I heard that you went to supervise the construction of the auxiliary city. How come you have time to come back? Did you complete the mission?"
Xu Chengyue seemed very friendly when he saw Chen Lin. After all, Chen Lin was also a master-level figure, and they felt a sense of mutual respect.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "It won't be that fast. It will take some time, but it will definitely be completed before Master's Nascent Soul Ceremony. By the way, how is Master Xu's health now? Has it improved after his cultivation level has been improved?"
The last time they met, the other party was still in the middle stage of foundation building, but now he has reached the late stage. It should be that the Silver Fairy fulfilled her promise and helped the other party to advance.
Speaking of this, Xu Chengyue smiled bitterly and said, "Although the Lord City Lord's methods are miraculous, they can only improve my cultivation. My injury comes from my meridians, and it has been decades. It is probably impossible to recover. What's the matter? Does Elder Chen have any good ideas?"
Chen Lin nodded, took out the pill bottle containing the Water Charm Pill and said, "I do have an idea, but I don't know if it will work. This is a high-level healing pill called the Water Charm Pill. It has a very mild effect and is most suitable for treating injuries such as damaged meridians. Unfortunately, there is only one pill now. Master Xu can try it. If it works, I can continue to refine it."
"Shuiyun Lingdan!"
Chen Lin himself didn't realize anything, but unexpectedly the other party exclaimed in surprise after hearing the four words "Shui Yun Ling Dan".
"How come Master Xu also knows about this pill?"
Xu Chengyue took the pill bottle in surprise, opened it and took a look, saying, "To be honest, before I came to Silver Fairy City, I was fortunate enough to meet a master of alchemy and asked him for advice on how to heal injuries. He told me about this Water Rhythm Elixir. But at that time, I was just an ordinary formation master and had no qualifications to ask him to help me refine it. After I missed that opportunity, I never found anyone who could refine this pill again. I didn't expect that Elder Chen actually has it here."
As he spoke, he excitedly put away the pill bottle, then looked at Chen Lin and said, "Elder Chen is very busy, so I guess you came to see me for something, but you can tell me whatever you want."
