After learning that the Silver Fairy was fine, Mu Linglong became much quieter after returning to the city, and Chen Lin also had a rare moment of peace and quiet.
He once again entered a leisurely state of cultivation. Since he had no specific duties, apart from cultivation every day, he would wander around the city to see if he could come across any valuable treasures.
It's no wonder that as more and more people flocked into the Fairy City, good things occasionally appeared, and he spent a lot of money to buy quite a few of them.
A lot of elixir recipes, talismans, and other skills were inherited.
However, one should always be prepared for danger, especially since Mu Linglong was always reminding him that there was a problem with He Huahai, so Chen Lin was not idle either and started the underground escape passage project again.
First of all, he felt that one entrance was too few. If danger occurred and he didn't have time to return to the store, or if the store was directly blocked and occupied by someone, the escape route would become useless.
So he bought two residences in the city under other identities, and opened a passage in each of them. He also opened two more passages in hidden places outside the city. All the passages were connected deep underground and could be used as entrances or exits.
In order to prevent accidental discovery, these auxiliary channels were not fully opened. According to the positioning of spiritual sense, a closed distance was left so that they could be quickly opened at any time when needed.
These are all auxiliary. The most important thing is the passage inside the store. The depth and distance are increased as much as possible. The direction is mainly along the teleportation array of Island No. 9, and we can dig as far as we can.
However, he did not need to do these things personally. The ten foundation-building puppets came in handy at this time. He only needed to issue orders and they would work day and night. He only needed to take out the storage bags of soil and pour them out regularly.
He himself still travels around the mountains and rivers every day with a leisurely attitude.
The only drawback of doing this is that it wastes spirit stones. The foundation-building puppet consumes too many spirit stones. But for safety reasons, Chen Lin thinks it is worth it.
Life is as plain as water.
Originally, Chen Lin thought that He Huahai would cause trouble during the time when the Silver Fairy was in seclusion, but he did not expect that the other party was unusually quiet, even more low-key than before.
And that Lu Yuan disappeared from the public sight again. He asked the people in the Alchemy Hall several times indirectly, but got no information.
The more this happened, the more Chen Lin felt there was a problem.
One day, he called the old shopkeeper to his side, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is there any problem at home recently?"
The old shopkeeper didn't understand, but still answered respectfully: "Reporting to the owner, everything is fine at home. Thanks to the elixir reward from the owner, the cultivation of my three children and grandchildren has improved."
"That's good." Chen Lin nodded and said, "Well, get ready and go to Xuanguang Fairy City. I plan to open a branch there, so go and make arrangements."
The old shopkeeper was startled, then immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin explained, "Opening a shop is just a cover. Your main task is to find out the conditions for using the inter-domain teleportation array there and try to buy a one-time use qualification. I have some friends in the southern cultivation world and I want to visit them. This trip may take a long time. If you can't bear to leave your family, you can bring some with you. I will prepare all the expenses for you. As for self-defense treasures, take the treasures of the store!"
The other party has signed a blood contract, so you can trust him absolutely and there is no need to worry about him running away with the money.
"Okay, don't worry, Boss. I will definitely get things done. As for my family, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It's time for them to go out and try their luck. I can go alone."
Chen Lin took a breath and nodded again, "Okay, be careful and think twice before doing anything. This matter is not too important. Your own safety is the most important thing. Go!"
The old shopkeeper bowed and withdrew. Before nightfall, he left the Silver Fairy City through the teleportation array.
This was just a casual move, and it was uncertain whether it could be used. After Chen Lin gave the order, he no longer paid attention to it. After reappointing a new shopkeeper, he began to practice.
A full month passed, and just when Mu Linglong was jumping up and down anxiously again, the Silver Fairy finally came out!
The first thing was to summon their three true disciples.
Chen Lin hadn't seen He Huahai for a month. When he saw him again, he found that the other person's aura had changed again and felt stronger.
This made him very confused. What kind of cultivation method could allow a Jindan cultivator's cultivation to increase so rapidly? This was totally against common sense.
"Greetings, Master!"
The three of them came before the Silver Fairy and saluted in unison.
"Um."
The Silver Fairy seemed a little haggard and hummed softly.
Then he looked at He Huahai and said, "During the time I was in seclusion, was there any problem with the Immortal City?"
He Huahai immediately bowed and said, "Master, everything is normal."
"That's good." Fairy Baiyin nodded and suddenly said, "It's not a good thing to progress too fast in your cultivation. Although the Eight Extremes Purgatory Pill is guided by the Yin Demon, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, all things in the world are living beings. Devouring the Yin Demon is also harmful to the harmony of heaven. The Nascent Soul Tribulation is much more violent than normal. Even if you are promoted to the Godly Realm, you will be attacked by the Yin Demon. You have to weigh the pros and cons clearly."
"Yes, disciple understands!"
He Huahai agreed respectfully, but judging from his expression, he seemed to disagree.
Fairy Bai Yin did not say anything more, but said to Mu Linglong: "What did I tell you before I went into seclusion? I told you not to leave the city, but you ran to Silver Tiger City to touch the sarcophagus without permission. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. From today on, you will be confined to your room for a year to hone your mind!"
Mu Linglong's face fell, but she didn't dare to refute and agreed dejectedly.
"Okay, you two, step back first!"
After saying that, the Silver Fairy waved her hand, sent He Huahai and Mu Linglong away, and then looked at Chen Lin.
"That little girl from the demon world is not ordinary, and she seems to have a very good sense for you. If conditions permit, you should maintain this line well. The demon world is a peculiar interface, and it will be of great help to you if you use it well."
"Yes, disciple has made note of it. However, after the sarcophagus was opened, there was no more demonic aura there. Now disciple can no longer enter the scarecrow hut."
Chen Lin responded respectfully.
He really wanted to contact the little girl more often, but unfortunately he had no way to do so, and the straw button could not be used easily.
Fairy Bai Yin shook her head and said, "Don't worry about that. The level of that little girl is extremely high even in the demon world. She will definitely contact you again."
At this point, she looked serious and said, "You have to know that most creatures in the demon world are disordered and chaotic. There are very few with clear thinking and logic like that little girl. You have to grasp it well."
After she finished speaking, she did not continue the topic, but looked at Chen Lin and asked, "Do you have a dual cultivation partner?"
Chen Lin was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly asked this. Did Mu Linglong tell Master about the intimate contact between the two in the mine? However, with Mu Linglong's personality, she should not be the kind of person who must commit herself to someone just because someone touches her body. This is the world of immortal cultivation, and the other party is a Jindan strongman!
"Oh, I don't have a formal Taoist partner yet, but I do have a female confidant. We just separated due to an accident and we haven't been in touch yet. In addition, I can't get close to women when practicing martial arts, so I don't have any plans to find a Taoist partner for the time being."
No matter what the Silver Fairy's purpose was, Chen Lin had no intention of finding a Taoist partner for dual cultivation. If a person encountered danger, he could just run away at will. With a Taoist partner, he would be involved and not as free.
Fairy Baiyin naturally understood the meaning of Chen Lin's words, and smiled and said, "Your Taoism heart is very firm, but this time it is a large immortal cultivation family that wants to come to you. In order to promote the relationship, the other party wants to marry their daughter to my disciple. Since you don't want to, let's talk about it later!"
Then, Fairy Baiyin took out another jade slip and said, "I have gained a lot from this trip to the Demon Realm. I have to thank you for a favor. Without the guidance of that little girl, I am afraid I can't even buy a pass. In addition, you risked your life to save your sister, which is also a merit. Here is a jade slip of magic inheritance. You can take it and study it carefully. Remember not to pass it on to others!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately took it with joy. The level of this spell, which was valued so much by a Nascent Soul cultivator, was self-evident.
Spells have two extremes. Low-level spells are available everywhere, and because they can be copied infinitely, their prices are much lower than other treasures. However, high-level spells are extremely rare and cannot be bought even if you want to. They are usually only passed down between masters and apprentices.
The Silver Fairy said no more, and Chen Lin tactfully left.
On the way to the cave, Chen Lin was thinking about He Huahai. It seemed that the Silver Fairy knew the reason for the sudden increase in the other party's cultivation. In this case, the situation should be within the controllable range. Even if He Huahai disliked him, he would not attack him without reason. The other party's main enemy was Mu Linglong, and he was just affected.
But you still have to be careful and try to keep a low profile.
"Eight Extremes Purgatory Pill, I don't know what kind of pill it is, but it has such a miraculous effect. It must have been made by that Lu Yuan."
Chen Lin was also very curious about this elixir, but unfortunately given his relationship with Lu Yuan, it was impossible for him to get the recipe from the other party.
The cave was not far from the city lord's mansion, and he arrived there while thinking.
After entering the cave, Chen Lin put aside other thoughts and took out the jade slip given to him by the Silver Fairy.
After being activated, the jade slip shattered with a bang, and then a white light rushed straight into his forehead. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he held back and allowed the white light to penetrate into his forehead.
With the identity and strength of the Silver Fairy, it would be a piece of cake to deal with him, and there is no need to resort to sneak attacks.
Sure enough, there was nothing unusual after the white light penetrated into his forehead. Instead, one picture after another formed in his mind, all of which were the insights of the Silver Fairy in practicing a magic spell.
This is a direct initiation for him!
