Since he had decided to wait for the Silver Fairy to come out of the Demon Realm, Chen Lin could only put the matter of the little girl aside for the time being.
What he didn't expect was that this wait would last for three months!
From being calm at the beginning, I gradually became nervous, and finally became anxious.
I'm not just worried about the little girl's doll, I'm more worried about what might happen to the Silver Fairy in the demon world.
Not only was he worried, Mu Linglong was even more like an ant on hot pan. She went to the Silver Fairy's retreat in the City Lord's Mansion every day to check on her. However, the Silver Fairy had set up numerous formations before her retreat. Not to mention a Jindan cultivator, even a Yuanying cultivator could not break them easily.
He Huahai also came several times, and although he seemed very eager, Chen Lin didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that the other party was not very sincere.
As for the other registered disciples, they didn't know the specific situation and naturally wouldn't come to visit. After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator would go into seclusion for years at a time, so it was normal for them not to show up for three months.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
Mu Linglong was completely driven crazy and looked for Chen Lin to discuss countermeasures almost every day. However, Chen Lin had calmed down.
The little girl hadn't come to see him for such a long time. It was probably true, as she said, that she couldn't break the rules of the demon world to find him.
Moreover, it is unknown how many years the sarcophagus has existed, so the wait of a year or two is probably nothing in the eyes of the other party.
As for the situation of Fairy Baiyin, he, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, was really powerless. Moreover, although he was accepted as a true disciple by the other party, they had been together for too short a time, so it was difficult for him to have the same feelings as Mu Linglong.
"Junior brother, I got some information!"
On this day, Chen Lin was practicing when Mu Linglong came to him again.
He was somewhat helpless, but he could also understand it. Needless to say, the Silver Fairy played an important role in the Silver Fairy City. The news of the incident must not be spread out. The other party did not get along with He Huahai, so they could only discuss the matter with him, an insider.
"What did you find out, Senior Sister?"
Chen Lin was actually very anxious, but he had no other options and could only take things one step at a time.
Mu Linglong looked solemn and told Chen Lin a piece of news that shocked him greatly, "He Huahai secretly broke through to the late Jindan stage!"
"What!"
Chen Lin showed a look of disbelief and asked in confusion: "Senior sister, is your information accurate? Senior Brother has just broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core not long ago, how could he break through again so quickly?"
He really didn't believe it.
Such a speed of breakthrough is possible in the Qi training stage, but for a Jindan stage cultivator, let alone breaking through a small realm, even the breakthrough of each level requires more than ten years of accumulation. He Huahai just broke through the fourth level of Jindan less than three years ago, and he jumped three levels to the seventh level of Jindan. This is too exaggerated!
"Humph, how could I just talk about something like this? He must have gotten accurate information. Moreover, he has been hiding it since the breakthrough. I don't know what he wants to do."
Chen Lin frowned upon hearing this, and felt that something was amiss. He asked in confusion, "Didn't Senior Sister ask why Senior Brother's cultivation progressed so quickly?"
Mu Linglong shook her head. "I haven't found out anything, but it's probably related to that Lu Yuan. It was after this man came that He Huahai made breakthroughs one after another. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to make breakthroughs so quickly with his aptitude."
Lv Yuan
Chen Lin suddenly recalled the scene in his mind when the other party was secretly refining pills in the underground fire room before he was exiled to Silver Tiger City.
"Well, Junior Brother, you should go back to the Pill Hall to take up your post and investigate the situation secretly. The Master's condition is still unknown, so nothing can happen."
Mu Linglong's words made Chen Lin secretly shake his head, thinking that with his small body, he didn't want to get involved in the fight between you two Jindan cultivators. But he couldn't refuse directly. After thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed.
He looked at her and said, "Sister, I think the most urgent thing is not these little things, but how to find out the current situation of Master!"
"How about this, Senior Sister, you go to Senior Brother in the name of rescuing Master, and ask him to help break open the stone coffin in the Silver Tiger City mine. When the doll inside is rescued, the little girl might contact me again, and I can ask her for information about Master."
Mu Linglong hesitated for a moment and felt that what Chen Lin said made some sense. At the moment, it was more important to find out the master's situation first.
She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go find him. If he shirks responsibility, then he must have bad intentions. We can make plans early."
Chen Lin felt relieved when he heard that, and reminded her again: "Sister, please don't tell me about the little girl looking for me. Otherwise, if Senior Brother really has other intentions, he might interfere. Just say that he wants to check on the situation."
Mu Linglong rolled her eyes at Chen Lin and said, "Don't you think I, your senior sister, am not very smart? Don't I know what to do?"
Chen Lin laughed dryly and said nothing.
However, he secretly complained in his heart that the other party was not stupid, but he did things without thinking.
Moreover, he estimated that He Huahai would not agree. The main purpose of his suggestion was to divert Mu Linglong's attention and stop him from always thinking about asking him to go undercover to find out the situation.
As Chen Lin expected, He Huahai decisively rejected Mu Linglong's proposal.
The effect was obvious. Mu Linglong was so angry after she came back that she called He Huahai a traitor, but she also forgot about letting Chen Lin go to the Alchemy Hall.
Without He Huahai's participation, Mu Linglong was not sure if she could break the sarcophagus. In addition, she could not confirm that something had happened to the Silver Fairy, so the matter was put on hold.
However, Chen Lin sensed the crisis.
After careful consideration, he felt that the crisis in the demon world was not that big of a problem for him, and the real danger lay within.
Not to mention whether the little girl can break through the boundaries and find him, even if she finds him, he has already completed the rules and mission of the Scarecrow House. Under the restrictions of the rules, the other party should not do anything unfavorable to him.
He Huahai and Mu Linglong, two Jindan Zhenren, are not on good terms with each other. He is stuck in between as a pawn and is likely to become cannon fodder.
If the Silver Fairy was still here, these two wouldn't dare to fight too hard. But the Silver Fairy didn't come back for a long time, and no one would support him if something went wrong.
Therefore, you must find a retreat route in advance, and run away immediately if an uncontrollable situation occurs.
In the next few days, Chen Lin began to frequently appear in the wild to hunt monsters on the pretext of tempering his mind, and took the opportunity to check the teleportation array leading to Island No. 9.
This escape route is his biggest trump card. If it doesn't work out, he will just go back to Wuding Sea. No matter how strong he is, no one can catch up with him.
But Wudinghai is not a safe place, so it’s better not to go there if you can.
After checking the teleportation array of Island No. 9, he went to Yunhai Fairy City again.
The Fairy City of Yunhai is built on top of a giant peak that rises high into the clouds, with white clouds floating around it, earning it the name of the Sea of Clouds.
But Chen Lin was not in the mood to watch, and went straight to the teleportation hall of this city.
He needed to find out which city the teleportation array led to, what qualifications were required to use it, and whether he could use it without revealing his true identity.
A few days later.
After understanding all the information he wanted to know, Chen Lin began to retreat.
By practicing in the best spiritual veins and with sufficient medicinal pills, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had already reached the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building. Now the situation was unclear, and he had to break through as soon as possible.
The days go by.
Mu Linglong discovered that something was wrong with He Huahai again, so she went to Chen Lin's cave to discuss the situation, but came back empty-handed.
After taking out the communication talisman and activating it, she still didn't get a response. Her face suddenly changed. She thought Chen Lin had left without saying goodbye, and she went to Chen Lin's shop angrily to inquire about the situation.
"So it's Senior Mu. My host told me before he left that if Senior Mu asks, I should say he's gone to find a spiritual place to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building. Don't worry, he'll be back in a month at the latest."
Mu Linglong's expression eased slightly after hearing this, but she snorted coldly, "Is a minor heavenly tribulation in the middle stage of foundation building worth all the trouble? It's so easy to break through in the cave, it's really an exaggeration."
The old shopkeeper just smiled and said nothing.
Mu Linglong had no choice but to tell the old shopkeeper to inform her as soon as Chen Lin returned, and then left the city.
The underground fire chamber of the Alchemy Hall.
Lu Yuan stared at the huge alchemy furnace in front of him with a strange smile on his face, completely different from the person he appeared outside!
There is a low hill a thousand miles south of the city. It usually does not attract anyone's attention, but at this moment, it is flashing with lightning and thunder, scaring some low-level monsters around it to flee.
Around the hill, nine chubby figures stood in the air, each holding a magical weapon with shining light in their hands.
On the top of the mountain, several flags were arranged to form several defensive arrays of varying sizes. Chen Lin stood in the middle of the array, fighting against the thunder.
At this moment, his face was pale, his whole body was scorched, and he looked in a miserable state.
He never expected that this small heavenly calamity would be so domineering. The formation he had set up was broken without any effect. The two ordinary treasures he had purchased were also destroyed in one blow. He was only saved from being killed directly because of his strong body.
"Kachcha!"
As soon as the first thunderbolt ended, the second one came.
Chen Lin roared, and his body suddenly grew more than twice as large. The Vajra Body Tempering Technique was running rapidly, and he rushed forward with a lotus formed by flames in one hand!
There were three minor heavenly tribulation thunders in total. In order not to attract attention, he did not ask Master Xu for help in setting up the formation. He only had an avoidance talisman given by the Silver Fairy, which he would save for the last use. This time, he would have to take it head-on!
But he also had the confidence that he would not be killed by the blow, and that enduring it like this would strengthen his body and be beneficial for further integrating the spirit of Thunder Apricot.
The thunder as big as a baby's arm hit the Burning Lotus True Fire, and the True Fire exploded instantly, and the thunder flowed into the body through the arm!
Chen Lin felt his body stiffen for a moment, then he fell to the ground with a bang. His hair stood up and his robes kept flashing arcs of lightning.
But he was well prepared. He immediately activated the phantom organ formed by the spirit of Thunder Apricot and guided the thunder power in his body over there. A small part of it was absorbed and stored, while the other part continued to cleanse the phantom organ.
The process was extremely painful, but Chen Lin saw the benefits and persevered.
He even gave up the idea of using the talisman to resist the third thunderbolt and let the thunderbolt hit him.
"puff!"
A large amount of blood spurted out, and Chen Lin completely lost the ability to move. Black smoke was coming out of his body, and he lay there motionless.
