When Chen Lin heard Zhou Qingyu's words, he couldn't help but frown.
"Who took it away and why?"
Buddha Grass was very important to him, so although he always didn't want to get involved in trouble, he resisted the urge to leave and asked for details.
"It was the Red Fire Immortal. He relied on the Qin family's connections to rob people in the city. He was even more unscrupulous outside the city. Not only did he steal my Buddha Crossing Grass and other treasures, he also threatened that I would give him the shop, otherwise he would destroy my Ziyuan Sect!"
Zhou Qingyuan gritted his teeth, and his expression became a little ferocious at the end.
Chen Lin, however, had a blank expression on his face and was not affected by the other party's emotions.
"Did he rob you inside the city, or outside it?"
Fights in the world of immortals are commonplace, and there is no logic to them. Most of the time it just depends on who has the bigger fist. But if it happens in the city, he can intervene, and he doesn't have to show up in person, he just needs to inform the city guards.
He also understood why the other party had deliberately sought him out. With the other party's strength, he could not be afraid of the Red Fire Immortal, but was afraid of the Qin family.
The Qin family mentioned by the other party should be referring to Qin Lingyu's family. They are now very prosperous in the Immortal City and occupy several important positions. If the Qin family is offended, a small Ziyuan Sect will be in danger of being destroyed.
Seeing Chen Lin's attitude, Zhou Qingyu calmed down and said in a deep voice: "It was outside the city, on the way back from the wilderness."
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "Master Zhou should know that the rules of the Immortal City only apply within the city. Once you leave the city's jurisdiction, life and death are left to fate. There is no reason for me to come forward for you."
Zhou Qingyu's expression changed for a while, and he said, "What Elder Chen said is true. I have nothing to say about my inferior skills, but the Red Fire Immortal has joined forces with the Qin family to seize my sect's assets. This should be a violation of the city lord's ban, right?"
Chen Lin nodded and said, "That's for sure. My master has issued a clear order to prohibit all major forces from engaging in plundering in the city. You just need to report the matter to the Law Enforcement Hall, and someone will take care of it for you."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
What he wanted was the Buddha Grass, not to resolve the dispute. Moreover, interfering too much would easily leave a bad impression on the Silver Fairy, which was completely unnecessary.
As for the Buddha's Crossing Grass, since it fell into the hands of the Great Immortal Chihuo, he naturally had a way to get it.
"Elder Chen!"
Seeing Chen Lin was about to leave, Zhou Qingyu suddenly became anxious and said angrily: "The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall is from the Qin family. How can I go and complain? Is this how the Silver Immortal City treats small sects like us? Is there any reason?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin shook his head, said nothing, and left Ziyuan Pavilion with Lu Youcai.
The other party has reached the late stage of foundation building and is not young anymore, but he still hasn't figured out the rules of the world of immortal cultivation. How can there be any reason in this world? Who can reason with you
If he could be reasonable, why would he flee the Tianyuan Continent like a stray dog, why would he abandon his dignity and curry favor with others, and why would he keep changing his appearance and hiding everywhere, being ridiculed by Luo Qinglan as a despicable person!
As proud as Luo Qinglan was, even though his master was killed by Huang Yu, he still had to swallow his anger and pay tribute to the Lieyang Sect every year with a smiling face.
The Qin family is so powerful, that's because they gave the head of the family's legitimate daughter to him as a concubine and offered their loyalty to the Silver Fairy. Even the Jindan family is like this, so who can a small foundation-building sect reason with
People like this won’t live long!
"Master Dong, what about the Buddha's Crossing Grass?"
After returning to his own shop, Lu Youcai looked at Chen Lin, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Tell the Red Fire Immortal that Zhou Qingyu is looking for me and I need the Buddha Crossing Grass."
Lu Youcai understood and nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, Lu Youcai came to Chen Lin’s practice room on the second floor, handed him a box, and brought him the words of the Great Immortal Chihuo, saying that if he had any problems, he could take his orders.
Chen Lin sighed.
Although he also hated people like him who would do anything to achieve their goals, he had to admit that such people tended to live longer.
There is light in this world, but first you have to have the ability to break through the darkness.
Shaking his head to put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Lin opened the box, and then was stunned.
There are actually seven of them!
He was also thinking that if there were less than five trees, he would ask for the location of that wild land, and then look for it again if it was not enough. But now he doesn't have to worry about it.
After putting the things away, he still did not leave the shop, but continued to wait.
Finally, when it was almost dark, the head of the Qin family came in person and stated that the Qin family had absolutely no intention of seizing the Ziyuan Sect's property by force. He also ordered the Great Immortal Chihuo to abide by the city lord's ban and never violate it.
Chen Lin personally escorted the other party out of the store, and the matter was left unresolved.
This was all he could do. It was impossible for him to seek justice for Zhou Qingyu.
Even so, Zhou Qingyu was moved to tears after learning about the situation and went to the door in person to express his gratitude.
"Elder Chen, this is my daughter Zhou Shuyi, eighteen years old, with dual spiritual roots, and at the fifth level of Qi training."
The other party did not come alone, he brought a pure and lovely girl with him.
After the introduction, Zhou Qingyu added, "Not yet married!"
When the girl heard this, two blushes suddenly appeared on her face and her fingers kept twisting together.
Chen Lin's face darkened, and he said, "Master Zhou, don't think too much. I'm not helping you. I'm just maintaining the rules of the city."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
He found Qin Lingyu a burden, but he had no choice but to disobey his master's orders. He didn't want to take in any more women.
If there is a real need, Wuzhen Tower has already built a luxurious branch in the city, with all kinds of fairies inside, and Alan, one of the 'Erfan', is in charge in person, which is much better than a yellow-haired girl.
Although a girl from a good family is good, accepting her means he has a responsibility, and he cannot be so cold-blooded as to say that. Once danger arises, there are too many things to worry about, so he will try to avoid it if possible.
Chen Lin was about to return to the cave when Mu Linglong called him to go visit his senior brother He Huahai.
The other party is still in a coma.
The Silver Fairy placed him on a black jade bed, motionless, without a trace of life.
In Chen Lin's opinion, the other party was already dead, but the Silver Fairy said that there was still a glimmer of hope, as the divine essence in his body had not yet been fully absorbed and he might be able to come back to life.
"Sister, how much hope do you think our eldest brother has?"
Chen Lin felt a little depressed and asked in a low voice.
"Alas, there is little hope. I plan to go to the southern cultivation world to see if I can find a solution to this situation. During this time, you can help Master share some of the affairs."
Chen Lin's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "Junior brother has some friendship with the elder Tan Tai Yun Jin of Tianyun Immortal City in the southern immortal cultivation world. If you need it, you can ask her for help. There is also someone named Zhao Mengru, who should also be in Tianyun Immortal City. If you go there, please help me ask for her."
After thinking for a while, he said, "If I meet someone named Luo Qinglan, please tell him about my being here and let him know that I am still alive."
He didn't want to travel far before his cultivation reached the Golden Core stage, and once the other party left, there was no way the Silver Fairy would let him go too. He could only ask the other party to help find out the situation of his old friend.
Mu Linglong looked at Chen Lin in surprise and said, "You know quite a lot of people, and why are they all women?"
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "Sister, you are overthinking. It is not what you think. We are just connected. But Zhao Mengru did have an agreement with me. If she is not doing well when you see her, you can bring her back to me. If she is doing well, let her make her own choice!"
Mu Linglong nodded, "Senior Sister likes your attitude towards women. Okay, I'll remember it!"
In the following days, Chen Lin became busy again.
Most of Mu Linglong's tasks were transferred to him, which made him hold great power but also overwhelmed with tasks.
Especially three months later, when the Silver Fairy announced that she would go into seclusion again, he became even busier and didn't even have time to practice.
He had no choice but to transfer Luo Qingsong back and ask him to assist him. As the other party had been talking to him about wanting to return to the main city, he could kill two birds with one stone.
Luo Qingsong is very good at management. With him around, Chen Lin felt a lot more relaxed.
With the help of the Qin family and another Jindan family that was very close to him, everything soon got on track. He began a monotonous life of practicing and working. Occasionally, he would be affectionate with Qin Lingyu, but he was not obsessed with her.
In this way, two years passed quickly.
On this day, Chen Lin was handling matters reported by his subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion when he suddenly received a message from the old shopkeeper Tian Haifu.
The Silver Immortal City and the Xuanguan Immortal City are thousands of miles apart. The communication talisman for such a distance is very valuable, and the other party will never use it unless it is a major event.
Chen Lin immediately put down what he was doing and went into the room to listen.
After listening, he fell into deep thought.
It turned out that the other party had found out the whereabouts of another treasure needed to refine the Three Treasures Buddha Dew, the relic fruit. However, the location was something he did not expect. It was actually the Demon-Suppressing Temple in Black Horn City!
Whenever he thought of the Demon-Suppressing Temple, he thought of the Buddha statue that looked like himself in his previous life. This matter has been weighing on his mind and has not been resolved to this day.
He also wanted to go to the Demon-Suppressing Temple to check it out, but he hadn't made up his mind.
Now, he still won't go.
If you want to get the treasure, you don't have to do it yourself. Money can make anything possible. With his current status and financial resources, there is no need to take risks.
Thinking of this, he immediately posted this task in the mission hall. The reward was a Seven-Star Pill. He didn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation of the Seven-Star Pill.
After the task was released, he put this matter aside and started paying attention to another matter.
During this period of time in power, he finally collected five top-level second-level dragon souls and could start synthesizing his top-level spiritual weapon, the Green Dragon Spear!
