After letting the old shopkeeper leave, Chen Lin began to check his storage bag.
I have gained a lot during this period, and I need to classify them well so that I won’t have trouble finding them when I need them.
After an inspection, Chen Lin smiled with satisfaction.
The gifts he received from True Lord Huanling and others at the Yuanying Ceremony immediately raised the level of his treasures.
Among them, the best treasure is the one given by Master Huanling, which is a black shield with mysterious patterns.
This is a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon!
Defensive spiritual weapons are rare in themselves, let alone top-grade ones, which makes Chen Lin unable to put them down.
After magnification, the word "Chongshan" is engraved on one side, implying that this shield is as heavy as a mountain and has amazing defensive power.
In addition, there is a top-grade spiritual flying sword, which is dark red in color and named Red Fire, which complements his main cultivation method.
This was given to him by the withered old man with a very low sense of presence.
There are also several rare talismans, and even a talisman treasure!
In this way, he had three top-grade spiritual weapons, the Mo Yin Spirit Boat, the Crimson Fire Sword, and the Heavy Mountain Shield, which were capable of both offense and defense, and could be used for escape and life-saving.
Both talismans are of the attack type. The one given by Master He before is a flying sword, and this one has a big spear.
After counting, he found that the number of spiritual weapons in his hands actually reached double digits!
Such wealth is simply unimaginable for a cultivator in the initial stage of foundation building. There are indeed many benefits to becoming a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun!
The next morning.
The old shopkeeper came with three monks from his family, a son and two grandsons.
The son is about 70% similar to the old shopkeeper. He is also in his fifties and looks older than Chen Lin, but his cultivation is only in the middle stage of Qi training.
The two grandsons are quite young, both in their twenties, one is in the middle stage of Qi training, and the other is only in the early stage of Qi training.
Chen Lin took a quick glance and knew that the spiritual roots of these people were average.
Although the old shopkeeper never embezzled money during the years he ran the shop, he also did not treat others unfairly. The treatment of elixirs and spiritual stones he received was much higher than that of other shopkeepers, and his children and grandchildren had much better cultivation resources than those of independent cultivators.
Although none of them showed any resistance, Chen Lin still rejected the old shopkeeper's request. Finally, under the other party's request, he signed a blood contract with the other party, and gave his three children and grandchildren some benefits to let them leave.
Given his personality, you never know when he will run away when he encounters danger, and it would not be good to implicate the other person's entire family.
As for the old shopkeeper himself, there was nothing wrong with him.
Without his help, the other party could only live another 20 to 30 years at most. Now it was like he was extending his life, so signing the contract was also a natural thing to do.
However, after signing the contract, if the other party has offspring, the blood contract will be passed on. Whether the other party wants to maintain this connection depends entirely on his or her own wishes.
After dealing with this matter, Chen Lin continued to pay attention to the auction, looking for treasures that could help him overcome his tribulation. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything until the end of the auction.
After the auction ended, a large number of cultivators began to leave, and the city returned to normal. Moreover, the top-grade spiritual veins that were moved here by the Silver Fairy were stabilized and began to be distributed to the caves.
As a true disciple, Chen Lin was naturally assigned to the one closest to the top of the mountain with the best spiritual energy, and he went straight there.
The night sky is like the sea, and the flowing clouds are like whales.
After Chen Lin simply arranged the cave, he stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the starry sky, with past memories constantly emerging in his mind.
Although the images of this life and past lives are fragmented, they are still extremely clear.
After a long time, he sighed and set his sights on the majestic Silver Immortal City.
Even with the power of the monks, it still took five years to build. You can imagine the scale of this city.
Looking around, there are neatly arranged buildings everywhere. There are luminous stones inlaid on both sides of the main road. Although there are not as bright lights as in the past life, it has a different artistic conception.
"My past life has become a cloud of smoke. I don't know if I will ever have the chance to go back. But even if I can go back one day, I'm afraid that time will have passed and things will have changed dramatically!"
Chen Lin sighed inwardly, and his thoughts began to fly.
Suddenly, a strange aura emanated from his body, and then a familiar scene appeared before his eyes.
Scarecrow hut!
The scene from the demon world suddenly appeared, and Chen Lin was startled.
Didn't they say that if you leave according to the rules, you won't be pulled into the demon world again? Why did you show up again
In surprise, Chen Lin immediately discovered something unusual.
Although the scene of the scarecrow's house appeared this time, he did not lose consciousness, and it can be said that he was not pulled into it, but existed as a bystander.
Without any hesitation, he immediately returned to the cave and activated the formation in the cave.
"Uncle, uncle, have you seen Niuniu?"
As soon as he returned to the cave, Chen Lin remembered the voice of the scarecrow girl in his mind, and then two pigtails appeared from the courtyard wall.
The pigtails grew higher and higher, finally revealing the little girl's head.
She seemed to be stepping on something, appearing very unstable and swaying from side to side, but her eyes were always fixed in the direction of Chen Lin.
The other party can see him!
Chen Lin was slightly surprised, wondering how the other party could contact him and whether they would pull him in.
"Uncle, have you seen Niuniu?"
The little girl's voice sounded again, seeming a little anxious.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "I saw it. Niuniu, how did you find me? What's the matter?"
"Ah, uncle, it's great that you can see!"
The little girl was so happy that she accidentally fell off the wall again and it took her a long time to climb up again.
She said excitedly, "Uncle, Niuniu is the first customer to weave two substitutes after she became the guardian of the Scarecrow House. Niuniu must pay special attention to her, but it took a lot of effort to find you, uncle. Can you help Niuniu?"
help
Chen Lin was shocked.
It felt strange that a scarecrow from the demon world crossed over to ask for help from a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
"My uncle's cultivation is very low, I'm afraid I can't help Niuniu, otherwise why don't you ask other people?"
Chen Lin declined politely and did not dare to be too blunt. Even though she was just a little girl, her methods were unpredictable and he might not be able to resist her if she got angry.
"Hey, uncle, please help Niuniu. Niuniu can give you a gift!"
A pleading look appeared on the little girl's straw face.
Chen Lin wanted to cut off the contact directly, but he didn't know how, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only perfunctorily agree: "Then what does Niuniu need me to do?"
Hearing Chen Lin's agreement, the little girl became happy again and said quickly: "It's very simple, Niuniu's puppet toy is trapped in your interface, very close to you, uncle, just help me remove the thing that is trapped it!"
Ragdoll toy
Chen Lin was stunned. He didn't expect the other party's request was this, but where could he find a stuffed toy
Wait, that's not right!
Suddenly, the sarcophagus in the mine appeared in Chen Lin's mind. He swallowed and said, "Is the toy you mentioned trapped in a sarcophagus?"
The little girl clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, uncle is the one. I wanted you to help me last time, but I couldn't tell you because of the rules. Now I have to make the extra substitute you wove mine, so that I can break the rules once. Uncle, you must remember to help me, definitely, definitely!"
The little girl's voice became increasingly distant, and the scene before her eyes began to fade.
At this moment, Chen Lin suddenly remembered something and asked urgently: "Niuniu, did you see a silver-haired woman coming into your place..."
However, before the other party could answer, the picture shattered bit by bit and finally disappeared.
Chen Lin sat there for a long time without moving.
It was so unexpected that what was sealed in the sarcophagus was actually the little girl's stuffed toy.
Moreover, if a toy has such powerful power in the real world, how powerful would the little girl be if she came over
This little girl is definitely not as harmless as she looks!
Chen Lin couldn't help but feel very depressed. This was truly trouble from the sky. He thought that if he didn't take the initiative to provoke it, he would no longer have anything to do with the Demon Realm, but he didn't expect that he would be found by the Demon Realm.
In addition, he had previously suspected that the ancient cultivator whose cave Zhang Yuanqing discovered was the one who sealed the stone coffin. If his calculations were correct, then the stone coffin had been sealed for at least thousands of years!
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin felt that he could not solve this matter by himself and had to report it to the Silver Fairy.
However, he did not have the Silver Fairy's communication talisman, so he could only go find Mu Linglong first.
"What? You said that little girl from the demon world contacted you!"
Mu Linglong, who was a little annoyed about meeting Chen Lin in the middle of the night, exclaimed after hearing the message.
Then, she asked anxiously, "What did she say? Did you ask her if she met the master and the others?"
Chen Lin then recounted his conversation with his little daughter, and then said, "I asked about the master, but the picture shattered before she could answer."
Mu Linglong heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"It broke in the middle? That should be a good thing, because it means the other party is indeed restricted by the rules. Otherwise, if such a terrifying existence could break through the boundary and come here at will, we would all be in danger."
Chen Lin also agreed with this. He was afraid of this, so he hurried to ask the other party for help.
"Then Senior Sister, do you think I should follow the little girl's request and take the doll out of the sarcophagus?"
This is also where his dilemma lies.
If I don't go to help, if the little girl blames me, the consequences will be unpredictable.
But if he tried to help, he couldn't predict whether the doll in the sarcophagus was in danger, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Mu Linglong frowned upon hearing this, and for a moment she was at a loss as to what to do.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "Master has already entered the Demon Realm with Senior Huanling and others. The cave is completely sealed. I think it is better to wait until Master comes out of the Demon Realm. With your cultivation level, you may not be able to break the seal of the sarcophagus, and others dare not approach the sarcophagus. If you act rashly, it will easily cause problems."
Chen Lin nodded. This was the only way now. If he was asked to move the sarcophagus by himself, he would never do it.
"Senior Sister, do you think there is a distance limit for the demon creatures to cross the interface?"
Mu Linglong glanced at him and said, "Don't think about it. If it's a space node, you might be fine if you stay away, but you've been marked now. Don't even think about leaving Silver Fairy City. Even if you run to another plane, you'll be found. The Demon World is a recognized high-level plane. According to legend, it includes all the other planes. Anyway, that little girl seems to have a good impression of you, so she shouldn't do anything bad to you."
Chen Lin shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless, but there was nothing he could do but say goodbye and leave.
