"Husband, this is my aunt Lin Wanru. She raised me since I was a child."
Qin Lingyu was waiting in front of the cave. When she saw Chen Lin coming out, she introduced a hot young woman beside her to him.
Chen Lin took a look and saw that the aura of the other person was very sharp. His cultivation was higher than his, and he should be in the late stage of foundation building. He immediately bowed and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Lin. Please come in and have a chat."
After letting the two of them into the cave, and seated them as host and guest, Chen Lin asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what is the matter with your visit?"
In the past, when someone from the Qin family came, Qin Lingyu would never inform him. Now he specially brought this girl to introduce her, so they must have a very close relationship.
Lin Wanru looked at Chen Lin, suddenly took out a bottle of pills and placed it on the tea table in front of her.
Seeing Chen Lin's inquiring look, she smiled and said, "This is the Suo Yuan Pill, which can lock the essence. I heard that Fellow Daoist Chen is practicing an ancient technique and cannot have sex. This pill may help."
"Auntie!"
Qin Lingyu's face suddenly turned red. She pulled Lin Wanru angrily and was about to take the pill bottle back.
But Lin Wanru held it down with her hands.
She looked at Chen Lin and said, "Whether you are willing or not, the relationship has been established and it is impossible to dissolve it. Neither Fairy Baiyin nor the Qin family will allow such a thing to happen. It doesn't matter to Fellow Daoist Chen, you can still marry again, and it doesn't matter how many you marry, but my Lingyu can only follow you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for the rest of her life. She is only 22 years old, in her prime, and she shouldn't be a widow for the rest of her life."
Chen Lin took a breath and felt that it was a bit strange for such a topic to come out of the other person's mouth.
But he still nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is right. However, as a cultivator, sex is only a temporary pleasure. We should still focus on cultivation. Since Lingyu is with me, her cultivation will naturally not stop at the Qi training stage, so there is no need to rush this matter."
At this moment, Qin Lingyu was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
Although she was a monk, her upbringing and personality made it impossible for her to face such a situation where people talked directly about matters between men and women.
Lin Wanru's expression remained normal, but after hearing what Chen Lin said, she said no more. Instead, she took out another jade slip and placed it on the table.
"This is the recipe for the Suo Yuan Pill. Fellow Daoist Chen, please decide if you want to use it. I am not here for this matter today, but to ask Fellow Daoist Chen to help me refine a Seven Star Pill!"
Chen Lin had expected this to happen, and nodded in agreement: "Since you are Lingyu's family, I will help you, but you have to prepare the materials yourself. And I have to say in advance that my success rate in refining the Seven Star Pill is not high. I am afraid that at least six or seven materials will be needed to succeed."
"Of course, as long as Fellow Daoist Chen is willing to help, I won't bother Fellow Daoist Chen anymore. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying this, he stood up and left, and Qin Lingyu hurried to see him off.
After the two left, Chen Lin took the Suoyuan Pill and the jade slip in his hands, shook his head and put them away.
Since he has been holding on for so many years, he naturally cannot give up halfway. He still has some willpower. As for Qin Yuling, a little girl who has never been in love, it is impossible for her to be very hungry.
However, what Lin Wanru said was right. Given his status, the Qin family would have no room for regrets, whether they were willing or not. And since Qin Lingyu had already sacrificed to this extent for the family, it was impossible for her to leave halfway, so matters between men and women could be postponed, but they could not be too indifferent.
A few months later, the Qin family gathered enough materials, and Chen Lin kept his promise and refined a three-pattern seven-star pill.
At the same time, Qin Lingyu's cultivation reached the great perfection of Qi training. With the help of the foundation-building pill he provided, he successfully advanced to the foundation-building stage!
But not everything goes as planned. Qin Lingyu was successfully promoted, but his father still failed to break through to the Golden Core stage after using the Three-Pattern Seven-Star Pill. Although he did not die on the spot, he was seriously injured and had no chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage again.
Qin Lingyu was depressed for many days because of this incident and hid in the cave without coming out.
Chen Lin could only sigh at this.
The road to becoming an immortal is full of thorns and obstacles. It is hard to say at which step there will be no hope, and he dare not say how far he can go.
Although Qin Yuandao failed to break through to the Golden Core stage, he still held on to his position as the patriarch because of his relationship with the Silver Fairy, but the power of the branch was definitely greater.
Chen Lin only paid attention to these things for a while and then ignored them, and continued to practice hard.
During this period, he received information from the old shopkeeper through secret channels, saying that the other party had gained a firm foothold and that the matter of the teleportation array had also been figured out, which made him very happy.
Since the first chess piece was effective, Chen Lin decided to train some more trustworthy people and spread them to other fairy cities. He planted the seeds first, and who knows which one will bear fruit.
But this kind of thing cannot be rushed and needs to be done slowly.
A few months passed like this, and Qin Lingyu finally got over her grief. After building her foundation, she was no longer as shy as before, and would occasionally come to his cave to do it.
On this day, Chen Lin arrived at the door of a training room inside the City Lord's Mansion early and waited patiently.
Today is the day when Mu Linglong's house arrest expires, and he must come to welcome her and create a sense of ceremony.
"Just you?"
When the time was up, the sealing formation automatically became invalid. Mu Linglong walked out of the training room and saw that only Chen Lin was there. She immediately spoke in angrily.
"Who else do you think it is, Senior Brother or Master?"
Chen Lin spoke with a smile.
In fact, it’s not that no one answered the call, but that not many people knew about the legal confinement. It was very common for a Jindan cultivator not to show up for a year, so no one would inquire about it.
Of course, everyone inside was aware of the conflict between the other party and He Huahai, and no one was willing to risk offending He Huahai to please her.
"Forget it, if no one answers then no one answers. You, my junior brother, are all I need. This means I'm not such a failure as a person. By the way, has anything major happened in this year?"
Mu Linglong waved her hand and said indifferently.
The Silver Fairy's house arrest was a real one. No one was allowed to visit her. She was completely isolated from the outside world for a year.
"No, this year has been very peaceful, and nothing has happened with my senior brother."
Chen Lin knew what the other party wanted to ask, so he pointed it out.
Unexpectedly, Mu Linglong shook her head and said, "That guy is very cunning. You can't see the problem. Just wait and see. He will betray sooner or later!"
The other party was so sure that Chen Lin was a little confused. He couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why are you so sure? Have you discovered something?"
Even if the relationship between fellow disciples is not good, it should not be so tense. There must be some reason that he doesn't know.
Mu Linglong waved her hand and said, "Don't get involved in this matter. I will report it to Master when I get the exact evidence."
After saying that, he walked outside.
Chen Lin wanted to stay away from the affairs of these two senior brothers and sisters, so he naturally did not ask any more questions and left the City Lord's Mansion.
afternoon.
The largest spiritual food restaurant in the city.
Chen Lin ordered a table full of top-quality ingredients to welcome Mu Linglong.
However, Mu Linglong seemed very angry. She glared at him and said, "Is this what you meant by nothing serious happened? You are really amazing. You actually married a concubine quietly during my house arrest. No wonder you look so happy."
Chen Lin was speechless.
Why does the other person's tone sound strange, as if he has cheated on me behind my back
Of course, he knew that the other party would never be interested in him, and he was just venting his depression at being isolated.
He immediately explained: "Senior sister, you are wrong to blame me. I have no plan to marry a wife or concubine, but it is difficult to disobey the master's order, and I have no choice."
"Okay, stop being so ungrateful. I need you to help me with something."
Mu Linglong curled her lips and changed the subject.
"What's the matter? I'm currently practicing the techniques taught by my master. My master will be checking on me soon. I'm afraid I don't have time!"
Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat. What he feared most now was that the other party would ask him for help. If the other party asked, it would definitely be bad news. So he quickly showed the Silver Fairy as a shield.
Mu Linglong's face darkened and she said, "What are you afraid of? I'm not asking you to risk your life. Besides, I'm a Jindan cultivator, how can I ask you to do anything dangerous?"
Chen Lin grinned and thought to himself, you still know you are a Jindan cultivator, but you don’t have any of the demeanor of a Jindan cultivator at all.
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. If you have time, please help me keep an eye out for good seedlings. I want to take in a few apprentices."
Mu Linglong picked up the wine glass and drank the wine weighing a piece of top-grade spirit stone in one gulp!
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the aftereffect of having no one to welcome him. He felt alone and powerless. After all, He Huahai had recruited a lot of people in the past few years, and he had a lot of slaves and apprentices, and his power was growing rapidly.
"Okay, I will definitely help Senior Sister find one!"
It is too easy for a Jindan Zhenren to accept disciples, but I guess the other party's requirements will not be too low, otherwise he would not ask him to help find a disciple. If you just spread the news, there will be a lot of people coming to you.
After talking about this, the two started chatting.
Near the end, Mu Linglong suddenly asked, "Master passed on the Soul-Destroying Finger to you?"
Chen Lin was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master did teach me a magic spell, but told me not to pass it on to others."
He also failed to understand what the Silver Fairy meant by "not to spread the teachings to outsiders". Did she mean that the technique was not to be spread to outsiders or that the matter was not to be spread to outsiders? So he gave an ambiguous reply, which was tantamount to tacit agreement.
Mu Linglong did not care, but said with a hint of meaning: "This secret technique is very useful, you must learn it thoroughly. I know a special place that is very helpful for practicing this technique. I will mark it out for you when we return. You should hurry up and go there to practice."
"It is very useful. What is it? Senior sister, can you please stop playing tricks on me?"
To say something halfway is like stalling in the middle of the conversation, which is very frustrating.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ling just shook his head and said, "It's useless to tell you now, but you have to believe me, you must practice this secret technique to the point where there is no room for improvement. Master definitely didn't give you this secret technique casually, if you don't believe it, then forget it!"
