Day 3.
Still without a chance to escape, Chen Lin could only honestly refine all the remaining materials and obtained another Blood Demon Pill.
This time, it was Yu Yuehai who was guarding outside. As soon as the elixir was refined, he came to the door and pushed it open.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the round dark red pill in the furnace, Yu Yuehai laughed in surprise.
With a wave of his hand, the pill flew up and fell into his hand.
He put the pill under his nose intoxicatedly, and nodded repeatedly while smelling it.
"Yes, that's the wonderful taste, good, good, good!"
After saying "good" three times in a row, Yu Yuehai put away the pill and looked at Chen Lin.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, the elixir has been refined. Can I leave now?"
Chen Lin retreated behind the alchemy furnace, with one hand hidden in his sleeve, tightly grasping the two thunder beads.
In the other hand, he held a stack of fireball talismans.
Always be ready to fight to the death.
As for the method to eliminate the side effects of the Enlightenment Pill, and the information about the red line that the other party had promised before, he no longer had any extravagant expectations.
Yu Yuehai seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed very skilled, but do you really not want to leave this place with me? I tell you the truth, everything here is made by an unformed monster, and that thing is about to take shape."
"weird?"
Chen Lin was stunned, and then his heart sank.
In fact, he had guessed it before, but he was unwilling to believe it. Now that it has been confirmed by the other party, he has to believe it even if he doesn't want to.
Monsters are strange beings that cannot be completely killed, and each one has incredible and terrifying abilities.
However, in the original owner's memory, there were not many monsters, and some people might not even encounter one in their lifetime. Unexpectedly, his luck was so good that he encountered one as soon as he traveled through time, and it was a big one.
"Yes, it is weird. You are also a senior cultivator, so you should know what weird means. As a reward for your successful refining of the Blood Demon Pill, I will tell you another piece of news."
"What news?"
Chen Lin responded subconsciously.
Yu Yuehai's expression straightened, and he said, "This monster has been growing by absorbing nutrients from the monks in the city for several years. According to my estimation, it will take shape within this month. Once it takes shape, everyone in the city will be devoured by it!"
Chen Lin's heart sank.
Given the other party's knowledge and cultivation, his guess must be almost correct.
Yu Yuehai glanced at Chen Lin and continued, "You may not know that for so many years, this city has only allowed people to enter but not leave. Once you leave a certain range of the city, you will be sensed by the monster, and it will either control your thoughts to return or devour you in advance!"
"Is there such a situation?"
Chen Lin really didn't expect it to be like this and couldn't help but exclaim.
He had always thought about leaving after he had mastered the wind-controlling technique, but now it seems that he had taken it for granted.
"Humph, do you think it's so easy to resist the weirdness? Fortunately, this one hasn't fully formed yet, otherwise there would be no chance of survival."
Yu Yuehai snorted and continued, "If you want to leave this place, you must first cut off the red line and cut off the other party's sensing. And once the red line is cut, you must leave the monster's control range within a certain period of time, otherwise it will find you and reconnect the red line."
After that, he glanced at the bronze bell in the corner and said, "I know you have a secret and can see the existence of the red line, but you can't cut the red line unless you reach the foundation-building stage. Without my help, you can't leave here."
Chen Lin also took a look at the bronze bell and thought to himself that this thing indeed had a loophole.
He originally thought that the volume was set very low and no one would hear it, but he did not expect that there was a person in the late stage of Qi training with extremely strong perception in this yard.
However, if someone cannot see the red line, they will not care even if they hear the bell.
All I can say is that he had bad luck and didn't get off to a good start.
"You are willing to help me, what do you want me to pay?"
There is no love without reason in the world. Chen Lin doesn't believe that the other party would be so kind that he would not only not kill him but also be willing to help him leave here.
Sure enough, Yu Yuehai showed a teachable look and said, "Of course it's you who paid the price!"
After he finished speaking, before Chen Lin could react, his eyes suddenly lit up, and two rays of light that seemed real instantly rushed into Chen Lin's eyes.
Chen Lin only felt a buzzing in his head, and then he lost all ability to control himself.
Then, he saw Yu Yuehai take out a round bottle from his storage bag, pour out a black worm the size of a little finger from it, walk up to him, pry open his mouth, and stuff the madly squirming worm into his mouth.
The whole process took place under Chen Lin's watch, but he could only watch helplessly.
The worm went down his throat into his stomach. He felt a tingling sensation at first, then a slight pain in his dantian, and then there was no feeling.
He immediately returned to normal.
"What do you mean, what did you feed me?!"
Chen Lin was shocked and angry, and also felt nauseous, and kept retching.
However, an internal examination did not reveal the presence of any worms in the body.
"Don't panic, this is a melanin bug, a kind of poisonous insect that specifically targets the mind. It can alleviate the sequelae of your use of the improved enlightenment pill."
Yu Yuehai looked calm.
Chen Lin looked at the other person coldly and said word by word: "Do you think you will believe it?"
Yu Yuehai laughed, "Haha, you will know if you try it. Since I have made an oath to the inner demon, I must keep my word."
But immediately his face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "But this thing is a living thing after all, it needs to be fed from time to time, otherwise there may be some bad consequences. But don't worry, I will take care of the feeding issue, you don't need to worry."
After saying that, the other party put the alchemy furnace into the storage bag, turned around and left.
He spoke slowly as he walked.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you. This melanin bug was fed by me with my essence and blood. Apart from me, anyone who touches it will explode. But as long as you feed it well, it will also be beneficial to the growth of your mental strength. This should not be considered disadvantageous to you, right? Hahaha!"
Chen Lin stood in the house, his face expressionless.
The other party did not break his oath to the inner demon, but he planted a poisonous insect on him, forcing him to stay by his side forever.
No need to ask, they just want to use him as a tool.
It’s hard to say whether this result is good or bad, but at least I saved my life.
Being a tool is better than being dead.
And since the other party used such a strange insect to control him, he would not abandon him and would definitely take him away.
It’s hard to say whether this is a gain or a loss.
"This person's methods are really endless. He should not be an ordinary casual cultivator. I don't know his identity."
Muttering something, Chen Lin continued to examine the patient.
I checked carefully from top to bottom, but couldn't find any trace of the insect, so I had to give up.
