Master Xuanzhi left on his own.
Because the evil thoughts in his body that he could not get rid of no matter what suddenly dissipated on their own, and he also received a communication talisman from the monks in the temple, saying that all the monks in the temple who had been demonized had returned to normal.
Although the reason was unclear, there was no reason to ask Chen Lin to help exorcise the demon.
Chen Lin was also extremely shocked and suspicious. His intuition told him that the changes in the monks in the Demon-Suppressing Temple must be related to the destruction of the Buddha statue that resembled his previous life, but he had no evidence.
In the end, this matter had to be put aside.
When he had nothing to do, he would meditate and practice every day, swallowing pills to nourish his soul and restore his body.
It took him a full year to recover his body from the damage caused by the heavenly tribulation.
His soul has almost recovered, thanks to the black bead he got from killing the monster bat bird in the Wanku Mountain Cave. This thing is very effective in repairing soul damage, and he discovered it by accident.
After his body recovered, Chen Lin prepared another portion of Three Treasures Buddha Dew and condensed the Dharma image again, thus returning to the Vajra Realm.
Not only did his body return to the Vajra Realm, but his cultivation also broke through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
Even so, Chen Lin couldn't be happy.
Because the essence of his soul can never be completely repaired!
The importance of the soul origin to a cultivator is self-evident. Damage means that the soul is incomplete. Although it is different from those cultivators who dedicate the origin of their souls to the gods, it will not be controlled by others and will not affect the daily life, but the impact on cultivation is enormous.
The first disadvantage is that it is impossible to form a pill!
The golden elixir requires the unity of essence, energy and spirit. If any one of them is missing, it will not be successful, let alone higher levels such as the Nascent Soul.
If he does not repair his origin, he will only be able to stop at the Golden Elixir stage in this life, and the body refining realm can only stop at the Dharmakaya stage. Even the newly condensed Dharmakaya will be weaker than normal because of the damage to his origin.
There was no way Chen Lin would be willing to stop here, and he frantically searched for a way to restore the essence of his soul, but he got no news at all, and even the Silver Fairy was at a loss.
On this day, Chen Lin was handling affairs in the City Lord's Mansion, and Luo Qingsong came up to him with a nervous look on his face to inquire about the situation.
"Third Brother, what did the Master say?"
The Silver Fairy had already shown up half a year ago, but she had only shown up once and had been in the training room ever since. No one knew what she was doing, but the people in the city had calmed down.
"Master said it's okay. You'll owe me the credit. The Three-Pattern Seven-Star Pill has been prepared for you."
The other party's cultivation had reached the great perfection of foundation building and was ready to make a breakthrough to the golden elixir. However, because he was very old, almost two hundred years old, the possibility of a successful breakthrough was slim, so he didn't even look down on the two-line seven-star pill and wanted to exchange it for a three-line seven-star pill.
However, the price of exchanging merits for the Three-Pattern Seven-Star Pill was sky-high. Even though the other party had been working diligently over the years, there was still a big gap in merits. So he asked the Silver Fairy to advance the pills and pay him back with merits slowly.
This is a deal that is guaranteed to make a profit. Considering the opponent's age, if the attack fails, he will probably die immediately, and the merits owed will naturally not need to be repaid.
If successful, he would be a Jindan cultivator. The means by which he obtained merits were incomparable to those of a foundation-building cultivator, and he could easily return the merits.
"Really? That's great. Thank you, Third Brother!"
Luo Qingsong was overjoyed.
The more lines there were on the Seven Star Pill, the greater the hope of forming a pill. He also knew that he was taking advantage by paying in advance, so he asked Chen Lin to help him speak for it. He didn't expect it to work out.
Chen Lin directly took out a pill bottle, handed it to the other party and said: "Don't thank me, after all, you are also the master's disciple, you should still have this preferential treatment. It just so happens that the construction of the Tribulation Platform has been completed, which is also an opportunity for you. Good luck to you!"
Ever since his cave was blown up during his last tribulation, the Silver Fairy ordered the construction of a tribulation platform after she came back. Several formations were specially arranged on it to assist in tribulation, specifically for cultivators to use during tribulation.
Of course, only the elders of the Immortal City can use it for free, while other cultivators have to pay for it.
Luo Qingsong got the Three-Pattern Seven-Star Pill and left happily, but Chen Lin was still frowning.
The matter of the soul's origin has always been on his mind and could not be shaken off. He had no intention of practicing until this issue was resolved, especially since several elders from the Immortal City were preparing to achieve the Golden Elixir stage recently, which made him even more unbalanced.
"Why, your mind is unstable now? It seems that your cultivation path is too smooth and lacks training."
Suddenly, the voice of the Silver Fairy sounded from behind. Chen Lin hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Master. Has Master dealt with the half of the broken sword?"
The other party claimed that he had been in seclusion for a few years, but he actually went to Tianyuan Continent secretly to look for the half tip of the Sword of God-Slaying, and he actually found it and brought it back.
"Well, it's almost done. However, it will take more time to repair a spiritual treasure of this level. Even if it is repaired successfully, it will not have the original power."
At this point, the Silver Fairy threw a scroll to Chen Lin and said, "This fake spiritual treasure is not suitable for me, and it is impossible to get a fourth-level demon soul. The human cultivators and the demons have an agreement that they cannot use the demon souls of transformed demon beasts to refine treasures, so we can only use the soul of a third-level peak dragon. It just so happens that I killed one this time when I passed through the Wuding Sea, and the demon soul is here."
Then she took out a black bottle and handed it to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master!"
He originally wanted to give the inheritance of the Qingjiao Spear to the other party. Anyway, he didn't know when he would use it if he kept it. He wanted to use this to enhance his favor and ask the other party to help find a way to repair the origin of his soul. Unexpectedly, the other party not only returned it to him, but also gave him a peak third-level dragon soul.
"Hmm." Fairy Baiyin hummed and said, "The level of the spiritual treasure imitated by this inheritance is not low. Even if only a peak third-order demon soul is used, its power will exceed that of ordinary magic treasures after successful refining. Body refining techniques cannot nourish the life magic treasure, and this item just makes up for this shortcoming."
After a moment of silence, she continued, "The matter of the origin of the soul cannot be delayed. I know there is a secret family in the southern cultivation world that is very good at the soul. After refining this pseudo-spiritual treasure, you can go there to take a look. By the way, look for your senior sister. I don't know what happened to her after so many years of no news."
"yes!"
Chen Lin felt warm in his heart and felt the other party's care and concern, but he did not say much. He bowed and left the lobby.
Half a year later.
Chen Lin emerged from the teleportation array of Xuanguang Immortal City and headed straight for the branch of Chen’s Trading Company.
The old shopkeeper Tian Haifu has already taken root here. He brought most of his family members here, and he also took in two young and beautiful female cultivators and had a son.
"Meet the host!"
After Tian Haifu saluted Chen Lin, he brought over a chubby little boy and said happily, "Master, please look, this is my son. I have checked and he has three spiritual roots!"
Chen Lin took the child and hugged him, then said helplessly, "There's no need to do this."
He knew what the other party was thinking. He wanted to prolong the blood contract, but he really didn't want to make the other party a slave for generations.
The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is my own will. If I hadn't met the owner, I would have been buried long ago, and I don't know if my descendants would have survived, let alone the prosperity we have now. I have already established a family motto that every generation of the Tian family must have a male with a bloodline seal to carry on the family line, and the position of clan leader can only be assumed by someone with a bloodline seal!"
Chen Lin shook his head and didn't care about it. If he could go far in the Tao in the future, he would naturally take care of his descendants.
After staying for a while and waiting for Xuanguang Fairy City to inform him that the cross-domain teleportation array was ready to open, Chen Lin came to the teleportation hall with the cross-domain teleportation array qualification token that Tian Haifu had bought at a high price.
Since the Silver Fairy said that there is no way to restore the soul's origin in the northern cultivation world, he can only follow her advice and go to the southern cultivation world to find that hidden family.
The future of this trip was uncertain, so I didn't bring anyone with me.
He had no worries. As for Qin Lingyu, it was impossible for her to suffer any grievances with the Qin family around. After all, her father was still the patriarch of the Qin family.
The cross-domain teleportation array consumes a lot of spirit stones and the qualification to use it is expensive, so not many cultivators use it. It is only open once in a long time, and requires thirty people at a time.
Chen Lin came to the exclusive teleportation hall and handed in the qualification token. After verification by the staff, he was placed in the teleportation array.
He took a quick glance and saw that there were already more than twenty people there. Most of them were at the Golden Core stage, there were also a few at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and there were two whose cultivation levels he couldn't sense. Either they had ways to conceal their abilities or their cultivation levels were much higher than his.
He only looked at it once and then immediately looked away to avoid causing any discomfort.
Soon, more monks arrived one after another, and finally the number of people was sufficient.
At this time, a Jindan-stage leader came over and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, take the teleportation talisman, and the teleportation will begin immediately. Just a reminder, the cross-domain teleportation array needs to be stable, and fellow Taoists must not attack the teleportation channel during the teleportation process, otherwise you may be backlashed by the power of space and be exiled to the void, or teleported to an unknown place."
"start!"
Following this man's order, the teleportation array suddenly made a roaring sound, then a white light lit up, and all the monks on the teleportation array disappeared.
But soon, the patterns on the teleportation array began to flicker, becoming more and more intense, and finally making bursts of explosions.
"Oh no! Someone destroyed the other side's teleportation array. The transmission is interrupted!"
The Jindan man was horrified and quickly arranged the spirit stones and used various methods to stabilize the formation, but it was all in vain.
Soon, the light dimmed and could not be restarted no matter what.
"You guys stay here, I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion and report the situation immediately!"
The Jindan man had a gloomy face and sweat on his forehead. He knew that something big had happened. An extremely important person was mixed in with this transmission. If something happened to this person, it would be all over!
