Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 227: Wake up

Views:

After some questioning, the Silver Fairy asked Chen Lin to leave the room.

"What this boy said is not true. He must be hiding something. Does Fellow Daoist Yun know?"

After Chen Lin left, True Lord Huanling glanced at the Silver Fairy and said calmly.

Fairy Bai Yin smiled and said, "How could someone who managed to walk out of the demon world intact not have some secrets? However, this should not affect our plan. Even though he is my disciple, I cannot monitor everything he does."

"That's true. After all, he is just a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building." True Lord Huanling nodded and said, "It has been confirmed that there is no space node connecting to the Demon Realm near the mine. The cultivators were drawn to the Demon Realm because of the forbidden things in the sarcophagus. I speculate that it is an untamed magic weapon, which is most likely related to the scarecrow hut."

"Is it possible that it is a demonic creature?"

The old man who had no sense of existence suddenly made a sound.

True Lord Huanling pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. If it is a creature from the demon world, it must constantly absorb the breath of the demon world to survive. And that mine had been mined before. If there was a breath of the demon world leaking from the space node, it would have been impossible not to be discovered."

The old man nodded and said no more.

Huanling Zhenjun seemed a little excited and said, "I haven't been to the demon world for a long time. I don't know if there is any possibility of obtaining a magic weapon in the scarecrow hut. If I can get a magic weapon that can be tamed, then this trip will really be worthwhile."

But he immediately sighed and said, "It's a pity that magic coins are too difficult to obtain. Otherwise, if I could buy a pass, my chances of getting benefits would greatly increase."

Bai Yin glanced at the other party after hearing this and said, "Why is it that Daoist Fellow Huan Ling is not interested in the things in the sarcophagus?"

True Lord Huanling smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I am interested, but unfortunately I know my own limitations and I dare not touch him. If Fellow Daoist Yun finds him annoying, perhaps True Lord Wanmeng can find a way."

Fairy Baiyin shook her head. "Forget it. Master Wanmeng is a late Nascent Soul expert. I am just a newly promoted Nascent Soul, and I have no friendship with him. How can I invite him? Let's have someone seal it first, and we can talk about it after we come back from the exploration. If we are lucky enough to find the rules for collecting it, maybe we can collect it!"

That being said, she had actually contacted Master Wan Meng, but the other party did not respond.

"Haha, then I wish Fairy Yun good luck!"

Lord Huanling laughed and stopped dwelling on the matter. The three of them began to discuss the various possibilities of their trip to the Demon Realm.

Chen Lin walked towards his shop with a heavy heart.

When he was called again to ask about the scarecrow hut, he felt that this was a sign that the Silver Fairy had discovered that he had concealed the magic coins.

Of course, the other party couldn't have known that it was magic coins, but they could definitely see that he was hiding something and didn't tell him the whole story of the demon world.

"That won't do. We have to find a way to remedy this."

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

Although he couldn't tell whether the Silver Fairy was unhappy, he couldn't just sit there and wait. After thinking about it, he began to wander around the shops in the city and chose some gifts to express his appreciation for her apprenticeship.

Finally, a gift box was made and the box containing the magic coin was placed inside.

This thing must be of great value, and it would certainly be useful if he were to be pulled into the demon world again, but compared with the favor of the Silver Fairy, it was insignificant.

After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt a little self-deprecating.

This is really a case of not accepting a toast and then drinking a forfeit. He should have taken it out directly last time, but he had to be prompted by others before he behaved.

"Boss, I've received the thing you asked me to pay attention to!" As soon as he returned to the shop room, the old shopkeeper came up to report.

Chen Lin asked in confusion: "What did you receive?"

He had asked the other party to collect so many things that he could not even remember some of them.

"It's the Immortal Stone!"

The old shopkeeper took out a gray box and said with a strange look on his face: "Boss, this thing is very strange. It is obviously just a piece of stone, but it cannot be stored in the storage bag!"

Chen Lin was slightly surprised and asked, "Really? It's so magical?"

Master Yunhai had asked someone to keep an eye out for the Immortal Stone, and he had been traveling around the world for more than ten or twenty years without success in finding it. He had just told the old shopkeeper yesterday, but he had unexpectedly received it today. If Master Yunhai knew about this, he would probably be so furious.

However, the thing that I wanted to buy to resist the natural disaster has not been received yet. Luck is really something that cannot be solved.

He took the box and opened it, revealing a fist-sized brown stone inside.

It doesn't look much different from an ordinary stone. The surface is very rough, and there is no energy fluctuation, but there is a faint mark on it.

Chen Lin tried it, but found that he couldn't put it into the storage bag.

He had seen the picture given by Master Yunhai before, and felt that the stone was larger than in the picture, and the imprints did not quite match, so he asked the old shopkeeper: "From whom did you receive this thing, and how can you be sure that it is the Immortal Stone?"

The old shopkeeper immediately replied, "It was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training who came to sell it. He claimed that he got it from the cave of an ancient cultivator. He didn't know what it was. He went to several stores but no one wanted it. So he came to our store."

After a pause, the old shopkeeper continued, "I actually didn't remember it. I was about to refuse it at that time, but I found that the pattern on the box was a rare text from the ancient times. I happened to have studied it before, and it was the three words 'Xian Ji Shi'."

"oh?"

Chen Lin immediately looked at the gray box. There were indeed a few faint patterns on one side. Unexpectedly, they were some ancient characters.

The old shopkeeper was very fond of studying these ancient things, and Chen Lin did not doubt his business ability.

"What about that cultivator in the late stage of Qi training? Did he leave any contact information?"

This thing is definitely not for making pills. As a senior alchemist, he can be sure of that, so Master Yunhai's words cannot be trusted.

Generally speaking, only items with space attributes cannot be put into the storage bag, and these two stones do not look like space items. He needs to figure out what they are used for and whether he can use them, and then he will consider whether to give them to Master Yunhai.

The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "I have kept it, and I have also used a tracking device, so I can find it at any time."

"Okay, I have nothing to do now, so I'll go meet him!"

Chen Lin became interested and immediately went with the old shopkeeper to look for that person.

However, when they arrived at the place left by the other party, they did not find the person. After using tracking tools to investigate, they discovered that the person had already left the city for some distance.

Chen Lin immediately took out the flying boat and chased after him with the old shopkeeper. They soon caught up with him, and the other party seemed to be in trouble.

"Hand over your storage bag if you know what's best for you, and I'll spare your life!"

A young man in black was surrounded by three men. He seemed to be injured on the shoulder and was bleeding.

"Humph, wishful thinking. You actually robbed here. Aren't you afraid of the law enforcement team of Xiancheng? If you dare to do it again, I will send a distress signal!"

The young man in black had a look of shock and anger on his face. He took out an iron cylinder-like object and while warning, he kept looking around, trying to find a chance to escape.

"Humph, do you think we are afraid of the law enforcement team? Then just give it a try!"

One of the besiegers snorted coldly, as if he had nothing to fear, and then he controlled his magic weapon to start attacking.

The man in black immediately activated the iron barrel and sent out a distress signal, but it did not scare the three people away. Instead, their attack became more fierce.

At the critical moment, a dragon roar was heard, and then two of the three besiegers were beheaded by a green light. The other one tried to escape but was tightly caught by a ring and could not move.

"Who dares to attack me? Do you know who I am?"

The imprisoned man was terrified and spoke in a timid voice.

Chen Lin was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he just picked him up and used the soul-searching technique to search his soul.

The other party actually dared to kill people and steal treasures here in broad daylight, and even the law enforcement team didn't care. He must have some background, and he wanted to find out.

Soon, Chen Lin shook his palm and killed the opponent, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He casually shot out three rays of true fire to burn the bodies of the besiegers to ashes, put away the storage bag, and then came to the man in black.

Such skillful movements made the old shopkeeper's eyelids twitch. He always thought that Chen Lin was the kind of alchemist who was harmless to people and animals and only knew how to make pills. He didn't expect that he could kill people so skillfully. He must have killed many people in the past.

Chen Lin came up to the man in black, subdued him without giving him a chance to speak, picked him up on the spirit boat and flew away, flying a long way before landing.

"I am Zhang Yuanqing, thank you for your help, senior!"

The man in black had already recognized the old shopkeeper and felt a little uneasy, not knowing why the other party had come to him.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you some questions."

Chen Lin comforted the other person, then took out the box containing the Immortal Stone and said, "Where did you get this thing? Don't lie. I don't want to search the soul of a stranger casually."

Zhang Yuanqing swallowed his saliva and said, "Reporting to the senior, five days ago, about 1,500 miles east of here, I found a cave that looked like it belonged to an ancient cultivator. This thing was found there."

At this point, he immediately raised his hand and said, "I swear by my inner demon that what I said is absolutely true, otherwise I will be devoured by my inner demon and die!"

Chen Lin nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "Are you alone? Besides this stone, what else did you get?"

"I am the only one left. In addition to this box, there are a few broken ancient magic tools, all of which have been sold by me. Now this is the only thing left."

As he spoke, the other party took out a smaller box and handed it to Chen Lin.

After Chen Lin opened it, his eyes immediately narrowed and he looked shocked!
