Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 25: Reality

Views:

After obtaining the Blood Demon Pill and placing a poisonous insect in Chen Lin's body, Yu Yuehai no longer monitored Chen Lin.

Chen Lin waited for two days, and seeing that the other party still didn't show up, he tentatively walked out of the yard.

He walked a long way without seeing the other party coming out to intercept him, and then he was sure that the other party was no longer restricting his actions.

This made him feel very relieved.

It feels so painful to lose your freedom.

But he was also a little worried. The more this was the case, the more it proved that the insect in his body was not ordinary. Yu Yuehai was very confident in it.

It's probably impossible to get the poison out by yourself.

While thinking, he soon arrived at the market in the shantytown.

After not being here for a long time, Chen Lin found that there were more people here.

People were talking and laughing in groups of three or four, and there were many more street vendors, shouting and hawking their wares, filling the street with the atmosphere of life.

The trees on the roadside have also sprouted branches, looking lush and green, and the fragrance of grass and trees fills the nostrils.

Full of vitality.

However, this did not make him feel happy, but instead he felt depressed.

In one month, this colorful picture will be torn to pieces.

How beautiful the scenery is now, how miserable it will be then.

After sighing for a while, Chen Lin regained his rationality.

He is just a small ant in the world of cultivation. He can hardly protect himself and cannot change anything.

Moreover, even if he loudly announced the information he knew, those whose minds had been affected would not believe it and would instead think he was a lunatic.

Even if someone believes it, it will be in vain if the red thread cannot be cut off.

So just take care of yourself.

Shaking his head, taking a breath of fresh air, he walked into Zhang's Business.

Zhang Mazi still sat on the chair with a swagger, like a grandpa.

However, there were two more clerks in the store, serving customers.

As the weather gets warmer, there are fewer incidents of monsters and beasts causing trouble. In turn, when the monks go out hunting and gathering natural treasures, more people start to come to buy supplies.

It is hard to imagine that the cultivators here have not noticed anything unusual for years and have always thought they were living a normal life as cultivators.

This is so weird, it's really scary.

I glanced at the sky through the open window. The sun was scorching, the sky was bright, and there was not a trace of evil to be felt.

But this was just an appearance. He had witnessed with his own eyes the huge, hazy shadow that appeared that night, and he had also seen with his own eyes the red line falling on him.

No one knows how Yu Yuehai saw the red line. He never asked this question and the other party didn't say it either.

Sometimes Chen Lin would wonder if he could escape safely if he left here before seeing that hazy shadow.

At that time, he had not yet been implicated by the red line and was a completely normal person.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

The opportunity has been missed, and now we can only place our hopes on Yuehai.

Life is so unpredictable, and the biggest enemy is actually one's own hope of survival.

"Hey, isn't this Master Chen? I haven't seen him for a while. Could it be that his skills have improved and he no longer thinks highly of the level of my place?"

Zhang Mazi's sarcastic voice interrupted Chen Lin's thoughts.

"Haha, I'm just a casual cultivator, how dare I look down on you, Brother Daoist Zhang? I've been in seclusion all this time and haven't come out."

Chen Lin laughed and explained.

Zhang Mazi smiled and nodded, and was very pleased with Chen Lin's attitude.

But his aura changed immediately, and he sneered and said, "Humph, I don't think you dare. You are just a casual cultivator in the early stage of Qi training. Even if you can make a few broken talismans, you are not worth my Master Zhang's attention!"

Chen Lin was speechless for a while.

But he naturally wouldn't bother with a dying person, he just felt pity for the other person.

He shook his head and decided not to bother with the other party anymore. He planned to buy some materials for alchemy and go back to try whether Yu Yuehai's poisonous insect could alleviate the sequelae of the enlightenment pill.

He ignored the other party, but Zhang Mazi suddenly stood up from his chair, pointed at him and exclaimed in disbelief.

"You, why is the fluctuation of your mana so strong? You have broken through to the middle stage of Qi training!"

His voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store, and they all looked at Chen Lin with surprise and envy.

But no one was as startled as Zhang Mazi.

He is in the middle stage of Qi training, which is considered to be a high level cultivator among the independent practitioners in the shantytowns. Even if he cannot make friends with them, he will try not to offend them.

"Haha, he is just a mid-stage Qi training person. He will be able to break through after a period of retreat. Why is Fellow Daoist Zhang so surprised?"

Chen Lin said calmly.

He was also helpless, because he had not learned any spells to conceal his cultivation level, so he could not hide his own cultivation level. Anyone with a cultivation level similar to or higher than his could see it at a glance.

This is seriously inconsistent with his cautious and low-key style.

This time, in addition to purchasing materials for refining pills, I also wanted to see if I could buy a spell book or a magic weapon to conceal my cultivation level.

Zhang Mazi's expression was very interesting.

He looked Chen Lin up and down as if he was meeting him for the first time.

Finally, he nodded with a look of surprise and doubt, "Then congratulations, fellow Taoist. You have accumulated a lot of experience and now it is time to start a new journey."

Zhang Mazi cupped his hands, no longer showing the contempt he had before.

Although there is only a small difference between the middle and early stages of Qi training, there is a world of difference between them.

In the early stage of Qi training, one is just a stronger ordinary person who cannot even practice magic. In the middle stage of Qi training, one can not only practice magic, but also control magical instruments, and his combat effectiveness is incomparable.

Only when you reach the middle stage of Qi training can you go out to hunt monsters. In the early stage of Qi training, you can only dig some ores and herbs.

"Friend Chen, are you interested in joining our Zhang family?"

His eyes flashed and he invited.

The other party brought up the old matter again, causing Chen Lin's face to darken.

"Why, hasn't Daoyou Zhang's widowed cousin found a good family yet?"

Zhang Mazi didn't care about Chen Lin's teasing, and said: "This is a different time. Now that you have broken through to the middle stage of Qi training, your status is naturally different. If you are interested, on behalf of the Zhang family, I invite you to become a guest of our family. The treatment will definitely satisfy you."

Then, he smiled and said, "If Daoist Chen really wants to marry into my Zhang family, I can also report to my clan and choose a girl in the early stage of Qi training from among the unmarried women in the clan to marry Daoist Chen."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the monks around showed envy.

Although there are rumors that the head of the Zhang family, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, is missing, the family is still one of the five major families, and its status in the city has not changed. If one can rely on the Zhang family, one will definitely become a superior person.

Chen Lin was a little stunned.

This is quite realistic.

As his cultivation and talisman-making skills continued to improve, the conditions offered by the other party became better and better.

If it was before he was planted with the poisonous insect, he might really have agreed, and perhaps he could have used the power of the Zhang family to resolve Yu Yuehai's oppression, but it was too late to say anything now, and no matter how good the conditions were, they would be useless.

He shook his head helplessly and rejected the other party.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to being lazy and don't want to be constrained. I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Daoist Zhang's kindness."
