Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 241: Battle array

Views:

Chen Lin looked at the half-human-height Buddha statue in front of him with a look of deep shock.

The lifelike face of the Buddha statue turned out to be himself!

"How is this possible?"

Chen Lin muttered to himself, a chill running straight to his head.

Even if this Buddha statue was the evil spirit of the ancient temple in Guyuan City, or one of the Seven Buddhas, or even Nian Kong, he would not be so surprised.

But the golem actually depicts him in his previous life, which is really evil.

He clearly remembered that he had never changed his appearance to that of his previous life after traveling through time. It could be said that in this world, it was impossible for such an appearance to exist. How could it be transformed into a Buddha statue

Could it be that there was someone who looked exactly like him in his previous life, and was a monk? Or, was there some connection between this world and his previous life, and his crossing through time was not accidental

The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more confused he became.

Moreover, this Buddha statue is completely black, with its hands making strange hand gestures. It looks like an evil demon. My appearance is related to it, which makes it difficult to remain calm.

He took a deep breath, a red lotus appeared in the palm of his hand, and he raised his hand, wanting to burn the Buddha statue.

But after thinking about it, he retracted his True Fire magical power.

"Don't act rashly. There are many strange things in this world. If this thing is really connected to my past life, and there are unpredictable consequences after burning it, it will be difficult to deal with."

Chen Lin resisted the urge and analyzed the situation calmly.

He felt that the monk had been blocking him at the entrance of the cave for half a year just because he looked like the Buddha statue.

If he had known there was such a connection, he should have captured the other party alive and tortured him.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. If I want to solve the mystery, I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the Demon-Suppressing Temple in Black Horn City.

After thinking for a while, Chen Lin, who was still at a loss, found a large box, put the statue in it, affixed several sealing talismans on it, and then put it into a special storage bag.

No matter what secrets this Buddha statue hides, he doesn't want to explore it for the time being. Since there have been no problems for so many years, he will continue to practice and wait until he breaks through the golden elixir stage.

He also thought about telling the Silver Fairy about the situation and asking her to help with the advice. With Yuanying Zhenjun's knowledge, perhaps there would be other discoveries. However, considering the seriousness of the time travel, he did not take action.

It took Chen Lin a whole day and night to calm down, and then he informed Qin Lingyu and the shop owner that he was back.

Then he sent a communication talisman to Mu Linglong, but did not receive a reply. He didn't know whether she didn't receive it because the distance was too far or she didn't have time to respond to him.

However, Qin Lingyu came over to visit immediately after receiving the message.

"Did your trip go smoothly, my husband?"

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Qin Lingyu has changed a lot. She is less immature and more feminine.

As expected, it has to be a family member. Chen Lin felt warm in his heart and said, "Very good, everything went smoothly. Is there anything wrong at home?"

The word "home" brought a hint of joy to Qin Lingyu's eyes. She nodded and said, "I have something to talk to my husband about."

"What is it?"

Chen Lin just asked casually, but he didn't expect that there was something real. He immediately looked at the other party in confusion.

"It's like this." Qin Lingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "My father came to me some time ago and asked if you would accept a disciple. If you do, could you give priority to people from our family."

So that's it.

Chen Lin shook his head and said, "I have no plans to accept a disciple yet, and I don't have the time to teach one."

At this point, he looked at Qin Lingyu and said, "Besides, your Qin family is a Jindan family. Do disciples still need to become disciples of outsiders?"

Qin Lingyu smiled when she heard this, "My husband is not an ordinary person, he is the last disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun. Fairy Baiyin has announced that she will no longer accept true disciples, so there are many people who want to become disciples of you three. After all, the inheritance of Yuanying Zhenjun is not something you can get just by thinking about it."

"oh."

Chen Lin nodded suddenly.

So that's how it is. The Silver Fairy actually announced that she would no longer accept true disciples. The value of this last disciple of his had indeed increased a lot.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Mu Linglong had asked him to help find a disciple, and he didn't know if there was anyone in the Qin family who met the requirements.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I have no plans to accept a disciple for the time being, but I can help introduce her to Senior Sister Mu. I wonder if your Qin family dares to take the risk of offending Senior Brother and become his disciple!"

Qin Lingyu was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't care about that. Let my father and the others decide for themselves. Anyway, my husband has agreed to help, and I have an explanation."

After saying that, she sat down next to Chen Lin and said with concern: "My husband has worked hard all the way. You must be tired. Let me give you a massage."

The second day.

Chen Lin came to his own shop refreshed and checked the accounts and earnings for the past six months.

"What's this?"

After checking, the shopkeeper Lu Youcai took out a brocade box as if presenting a treasure.

Lu Youcai immediately explained: "Didn't the owner say that he wanted to buy the combined attack battle formation method? Here is a set. I bought it at an exchange meeting a few days ago."

"oh?"

Chen Lin became interested and opened the brocade box.

Inside was a yellowed manuscript with the words "Nine Yuan Immortal Destroying Formation" written in large letters.

The tone was quite loud. Chen Lin picked it up and flipped through it for a few times, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Yes, this thing is very useful. I'll remember your great contribution!"

After looking at it for a while, he closed the secret book and praised Lu Youcai.

"Hehe, as long as the owner is satisfied." Lu Youcai smiled innocently and seemed very happy.

After giving some further instructions, Chen Lin returned to the training room and took out the secret book to study it carefully.

In order to avoid being disturbed by Qin Lingyu, he did not return to the cave for a whole month. He finally understood the battle formation thoroughly and began to collect materials and refine new puppets.

Four of the foundation-building puppets were destroyed by the demonized monk. Except for Fat Tiger No. 1 who was guarding the tunnel, there were only five left. Their combat power was greatly damaged and needed to be replenished.

However, this time he wanted to eliminate all the original ones, refine a new batch, and implant this Nine Yuan Immortal-Destroying Formation into the demon soul.

In this way, the finished product is a set, which can be formed into a battle formation to fight the enemy, greatly increasing the power. Otherwise, if they fight each other as before, it may look impressive, but once they encounter a strong enemy, they will be defeated one by one and fail to achieve the desired effect.

Chen Lin had the idea of the battle formation a long time ago, but he had never found the ideal formation. Even the Formation Palace didn't have the corresponding one, so he had been putting it off. Unexpectedly, he got a surprise at this time.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Nine Yuan Immortal-Destroying Formation was mysterious. He estimated that it should be considered advanced in battle formations. If it was used well, it would definitely give him a surprise.

In the following days, Chen Lin began to devote himself to refining the puppet.

If one wants to implant the information of the battle formation, ordinary demon souls are not enough. One must find those with high intelligence. Otherwise, they will not be able to react quickly and will not be able to coordinate the battle formation at all.

Second-level demon souls are rare to begin with, and since they require intelligence, they are very difficult to find.

Fortunately, he had asked Lu Youcai to buy it a long time ago, and because of his status as a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun, all major shops gave him some face, and he finally managed to collect the enough money.

Of course, the price was staggering. Even with his wealth, it was as painful as cutting flesh.

Fortunately, he was already very proficient in refining, and he didn't even need the bonus of innate ability, and he rarely failed.

Several more months passed.

field.

Nine fresh puppets were lined up in a row. Although they were still a little bloated, they were much more agile. They were all wearing defensive armor and holding spiritual weapons, giving people a creepy feeling.

"Form a formation!"

At Chen Lin's command, the nine puppets shook and instantly stood in their respective positions.

After the magic power was released, the array patterns on the body immediately lit up, forming a mysterious resonance, and the puppet's attack power suddenly increased greatly.

In addition, the nine puppets can also merge their attack power to form a big move, which is almost as powerful as a talisman!

Chen Lin was overjoyed.

With such a puppet combination, when you encounter powerful people in the future, you will have the means to fight back.

The only thing that makes me feel a little helpless is that the loss of spirit stones is too great. I have to accumulate more high-quality spirit stones in the future. It would be even better if I could get top-quality spirit stones.

Unfortunately, although there are many spirit stone mines in this vast northern world of immortal cultivation, those that can produce top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare, and with his status he is unable to obtain them in large quantities.

In any case, Chen Lin was very satisfied with this batch of puppets.

He replaced all the puppets with new high-quality spirit stones, put them into a special storage bag, and returned to the city in a happy mood.

The Silver Fairy has been in seclusion since she last met Master Yunhai. No one knows whether she has entered the demon world or is doing something else. Mu Linglong has also been out and has not returned. Even He Huahai has kept a low profile and rarely shows up.

However, some time ago, the Silver Fairy recruited a group of Jindan monks, and all departments were back on track. There was no need for him to help, so he continued to slack off every day, collecting resources and practicing at the same time.

"My dear husband, today I have learned a new massage technique. Would you like to try it?"

Chen Lin was studying magic when Qin Lingyu came to his house and started teasing him with a hint of flirtatiousness in her eyes.

The other party's breasts became more and more plump, and she was completely different from the shy girl before. She would verbally provoke him whenever she saw him, causing him to break his promise again and again. He had long forgotten his original resolution to stay away from women and devote himself to the Tao. Instead, the reserves of Suoyuan Dan were decreasing day by day.

He felt that all this was to be blamed on the other party's concubine, Lin Wanru. It was impossible for Qin Lingyu to have so many tricks. They must have been taught by that woman.

"Okay, then let's try my craftsmanship!" Chen Lin put away the magic jade slip and said with a smile.

Cultivation also requires a balance between tension and relaxation, and one cannot force it blindly, otherwise it will backfire. Only when the mind is happy can the thoughts flow freely.

Especially after he got the Buddha statue with his own appearance, his mentality changed a little. He was no longer stubborn and would enjoy himself as long as it did not affect his practice.

With a wave of his hand, he extinguished the glowing stone, and the cave fell into darkness.
