When Chen Lin returned to the cave, he began to think about what the owner of Baozhen Pavilion had said about the Hanhai Fairy Palace.
He had also heard of this name. In fact, it was the palace of the ancient country of Hanhai. After the demise of that country, this palace somehow survived and formed a secret existence.
It will appear in the world once every five hundred years or so, and the location is a thousand miles away from Wanmeng Fairy City, at the site of the former royal palace of the ancient Hanhai Kingdom.
It has been more than 500 years since this secret realm last appeared in the world, so it is not surprising that it is opened.
According to the records in the classics he had read, this secret realm was quite famous and contained many treasures, but it also contained many dangers, so he had no interest in it at first.
However, the shopkeeper of Baozhen Pavilion mentioned a piece of information that made Chen Lin hesitate.
The royal family of the ancient country of Hanhai was very powerful in the ancient cultivation era. There were cultivators at the level of Divine Transformation or even higher, and they also had an extremely famous spiritual treasure called the Liangyi Disk.
It is said that this magical treasure was destroyed in the war, but it formed a peculiar area in the secret realm. Every time the secret realm is reopened, natural treasures of extreme yin and yang will appear in this area.
Now he has gathered all the five elements materials needed to refine the Six-Pattern Seven-Star Pill, and he only lacks the yin and yang materials of the same level, so he was very excited about this information.
Materials of this level were generally not something that cultivators were willing to sell. Once they got them, they would keep them for their own use at critical moments. If it were in the past, he could have slowly searched for them, but now the situation had changed. There was no telling when the catastrophe would come, and he had no time to wait. He had to break through to the Jindan realm as soon as possible.
"It seems that we still need to explore this secret realm!"
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Chen Lin finally made a decision.
According to records, due to its special existence, Nascent Soul cultivators cannot enter this secret realm. This immediately reduces the danger level a lot. As long as he is not greedy and only goes to that special place to look for materials with yin and yang properties, there will probably not be any big problems.
Moreover, such opportunities are not easily available. If the owner of Baozhen Pavilion had not purchased the key to the secret realm and was willing to sell it, he would not have been able to go even if he wanted to.
Now this secret realm has just shown signs of opening, and there is still some time before it is actually opened. After making up his mind, he began to make preparations.
A few days later.
Chen Lin stood on a hillside, looking at the ground in the distance that had been dug beyond recognition.
This is the ruins of the capital of the ancient country of Hanhai. It was originally destroyed in the war, and after more than a thousand years of exploration and excavation, it has long been plundered and has no value at all. Only occasionally some low-level Qi-cultivating monks will come to try their luck.
However, in recent times, there have been more and more monks here, all of whom come to watch the opening of the secret realm.
Of course, some people have keys, and some people are just here to watch the fun.
Others want to get in but don’t have a key, so they want to see if they can buy one.
Suddenly, the space above the ruins shook, and then a mirage-like scene appeared in the void, with towering trees, pavilions, mountains and rivers, but they were all very vague and not very real.
This is the projection of the secret realm.
Chen Lin had never explored any ruins or secret places, so he had never experienced a similar situation. He couldn't help but marvel at it.
It lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before the shadow slowly faded and disappeared.
"This fellow Taoist possesses the key to the secret realm. I am willing to buy it at a high price!"
Just as Chen Lin withdrew his gaze, he saw a cultivator in the late foundation building stage flying in front of him, bowing and asking with a smile on his face.
This person was already the eighth one he had met in the past two days who came to ask him to buy keys, and this was because he was standing far away. If he was closer to the ruins, he would probably have another person coming soon.
Who made him appear to be only at the Foundation Establishment stage? If he were a Golden Core cultivator, no one would come to disturb him.
He glanced at the other party and also bowed, "Daoyou are joking. If I had the key, would I stand so far away? I just came to see the excitement and open my eyes. But if Daoyou has an extra key, I would also like to buy it at a high price and enter the secret realm to try my luck."
After hearing what he said, the other party immediately lost interest, stopped talking, shook his head, and flew away.
In order to prevent anyone from disturbing him again, Chen Lin simply retreated one hill back and landed on the top of the mountain.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he landed, he found that there was someone here, and he didn't sense it in advance.
"Huh?"
He was about to leave when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Why, fellow Taoist, do you know me?"
There was a woman standing on the top of the mountain. She had an ordinary appearance and was dressed very simply, just like an ordinary girl with no cultivation.
Chen Lin's expression changed twice. He felt that it was impossible to meet the person he was thinking of in this place, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I didn't expect there would be someone here. I'm sorry to bother you, fellow Taoist. I'll leave now."
He didn't want to have any contact with such a person who was so hard to understand. After explaining, he was about to leave, but he was stopped by the other party unexpectedly.
"slow!"
As the other party's voice sounded, Chen Lin felt the space around him tighten, and he was unable to use the flying spell!
His face changed, and he could only turn around again, bowed and said: "I wonder what instructions do you have, senior?" At the same time, he quietly put his hand on the storage bag on his waist.
Just this one move proved that the other party was at least in the late Jindan stage, so he had to deal with it carefully.
"I've seen you before."
The other party did not answer him, but said something that made Chen Lin's expression change.
"You are the disciple of the Silver Fairy. We met in the Silver Fairy City teleportation array. Why do you say you don't know me? It is impossible for someone who has seen me not to remember me."
Chen Lin took a breath. He didn't expect that the other party was really that person.
"I pay my respects to Fairy Alan!"
This woman was the one he had met once before, one of the two mortals among the one immortal and two mortals in Wuzhen Tower, Alan!
He thought it looked a bit like him just now, but the other party no longer had that strange artistic conception, so he didn't dare to take it personally.
Although the other party was a brothel girl, this place was not Wuzhen Tower, and the other party was unfathomable, so he naturally did not dare to treat her as a brothel girl and showed due respect.
The other party glanced at him and said calmly: "You have a strong willpower. After being exposed to my worldly mind, you were able to resist going to Wuzhen Tower to find me. Although I didn't target you at the time, it was enough to show that you were in a good state of mind."
Chen Lin suddenly realized.
He said that the other person looked unremarkable, but why did he keep thinking about her at that time and only wanted to spend the rest of his life with her? It turned out that this was a natural ability.
However, the reason he was able to hold back at the time was not because of his state of mind, but because of the limitations of his martial arts.
"I wonder what advice the fairy has for me?"
Chen Lin asked this question, but at the same time he secretly complained in his heart, in this remote place, the other party wouldn't want to practice dual cultivation with him right there, right
"Why, you want to practice dual cultivation with me?"
Chen Lin's thoughts had just arisen when he heard the other party's voice.
He was shocked that the other party could actually know what he was thinking. What kind of magical power was this
"Don't misunderstand me, fairy. I don't mean that."
Chen Lin quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and explained.
Alan smiled and said, "With your status and the level of your body-refining skills, you are qualified to practice dual cultivation with me. But if you lose control and destroy your Dao heart in my worldly mind, I will not be able to explain to Miss Yun. But if you strongly request, I can agree to it with reluctance."
Chen Lin hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I am just a mortal, how can I be worthy of the fairy's favor? If the fairy has nothing to do, then I will take my leave first."
He understood what the other party meant. The reason why he was let off last time was because of the Silver Fairy, but if he didn't know what was good for him again, the other party would not be polite. Moreover, if he practiced dual cultivation with the other party, the end would not be good.
However, the other party also mentioned the title of Second Miss Yun, which made Chen Lin curious about the glorious past of his master. This master was really the right one to worship, as she had solved several crises for him just by relying on her title.
"Don't worry."
Alan slightly opened her red lips, then raised her hand and took off the wooden hairpin on her head. Her black hair fell like a waterfall, changing her temperament.
Chen Lin was startled, thinking that the other party was going to use that "Worldly Heart" again, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
But the other party just looked at the hairpin for a while, then asked: "Do you have a hairpin like this on you?"
This made Chen Lin stunned, but he reacted immediately. His eyes flashed slightly, and he took out the wooden hairpin he got from the disposable Yellow Spring Map from his sleeve.
Since the other party said so, it means it has been confirmed. It would be better for him to take it out on his own initiative rather than letting the other party do it.
Alan took Chen Lin's wooden hairpin in his hand, a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and then his face darkened.
"Why did the hairpin break?"
She gently stroked the crack with her slender fingers, frowning as if she was stroking her own wound.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but still told the other party the truth about why the wooden hairpin cracked, and then looked at the other party.
He was also very curious about what this wooden hairpin was and why it automatically saved him at that time.
"You are so stupid."
But Chen Lin didn't get an answer. Instead, the other party said something nonsensical.
Then, the other party said: "Since you think so highly of him, then follow him. My situation here is not very good either. I don't know if I can find the way home."
He said another nonsensical sentence and then returned the hairpin to Chen Lin.
Then the other party took out a bottle and handed it to him, saying: "The soul in the hairpin is my sister. Since she saved your life, you must treat her well. Here is a bottle of soul nourishing liquid. You can soak the hairpin in it and it will slowly recover. You must keep it well in the future and don't let it get hurt again."
After saying this, the figure gradually faded and disappeared from Chen Lin's sight.
