"Friend Liu is truly a woman who is as capable as any man. She has actually managed such a business. I am really ashamed of myself!"
Chen Lin revealed his identity and was invited to the VIP room in the company. After he sat down, he greeted the guests.
Liu Ruolan smiled and said, "They are just some external things. At our level, it is difficult to obtain the treasures we need with spirit stones. Otherwise, I would not have taken the risk in that secret realm and almost lost my life."
Then, she looked at Chen Lin with a wave of her eyes and said, "I see that Brother Chen seems to be practicing the Buddhist body-building technique. Could he be a descendant of the Demon-Suppressing Temple?"
Chen Lin's eyes flickered, and he asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Liu knows about the Demon-Suppressing Temple. Could it be that you have seen it somewhere?"
After coming to the southern world of immortal cultivation, he had inquired about the Demon-Suppressing Temple, but had not received any relevant information. Unexpectedly, he heard this name from the other party.
Liu Ruolan nodded and said, "The Demon-Suppressing Temple is the only Buddhist sect on this continent that has a high-level inheritance. Although it was only glorious in the ancient times, some of its inheritance has been passed down. I once encountered this temple in a strange place, so I have a deep understanding of the relevant information."
"oh?"
Chen Lin was in high spirits and said, "I was once entrusted by a senior Buddhist to find the inheritance of the Demon-Suppressing Temple in Hanhai Country. I have some things to deal with. I don't know where the strange place you mentioned is. Can you tell me?"
Nian Kong's cassock and ashes were still in his storage bag. He originally wanted to give them to Xuan Zhi, but the Demon-Suppressing Temple in Black Horn City was not normal, and he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he did not take action.
In addition, he had already broken through the third level of the Vajra Body Refining Technique, and only had the fourth level left to practice. Since then, this technique has been discontinued, and he also wanted to see if there were any subsequent techniques. This world of immortal cultivation was blocked by alien spirits from outside the domain, and no one had ever been promoted to the Spiritualization Stage since the ancient cultivation era. Perhaps physical cultivation could change the status quo.
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Liu Ruolan smiled and said, "Brother Chen saved my life, so there is no need to hide it. However, the place I'm talking about is not in this world, but in the demon world."
"Demon world?"
Chen Lin looked surprised.
"Yes, it is the Demon Realm." Liu Ruolan nodded affirmatively, then looked at Chen Lin and said, "Brother Chen, do you also know something about the Demon Realm?"
Chen Lin nodded in confusion and said, "To be honest, I have been to the Demon Realm before. This time I came to Wanmeng Fairy City to learn more about the Demon Realm. I heard that the city lord, Lord Wanmeng, has explored the Demon Realm very deeply, so I wanted to pay him a visit."
Liu Ruolan looked enlightened when she heard this, but seemed a little hesitant.
"Why, is it inconvenient? Daoist Liu, please feel free to speak up."
Seeing the other party's expression, Chen Lin estimated that the other party probably had no status in front of Master Wanmeng. He had also been a registered disciple, and knew that some registered disciples were really just registered in name only.
Liu Ruolan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm trying to shirk my responsibility, but our master has been in seclusion for many years. Unless he takes the initiative to summon us, we, the registered disciples, do not have the right to meet him. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Chen."
Chen Lin was speechless after hearing this. The other party's status was even lower than his before!
Since the other party had said so, he had no way to force it, so he could only change the subject and said, "Haha, I was also a registered disciple, so I naturally understand the matter. Besides, I don't have to meet the city lord, I just want to know how to enter and exit the demon world in the flesh, and how to locate a certain position in the demon world."
"The physical body enters the demon world?"
Liu Ruolan raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "That is a very dangerous thing. The assimilation power of the demon world is very strong. Once you are assimilated into it, you will never be able to get out!"
As soon as Chen Lin heard it, he knew that the other party knew a lot about the demon world and was worthy of being the disciple of Master Wan Meng.
He said, "There is nothing I can do about it. I have my own reasons. But there is no need to stay in there for a long time. As long as I can get in and out, it's fine."
Liu Ruolan still shook her head and said, "It's very difficult. With the cultivation level of you and me, Jindan cultivators, I'm afraid we don't have the ability to break through the barrier of a high-level plane like the Demon Realm. Even ordinary Yuanying cultivators can't do it. Only a late-stage Yuanying cultivator like my master can rely on the power of spiritual treasures. And it can only be possible at the spatial node where this world and the Demon Realm intersect."
Then, she continued, "As for wanting to go to a designated location in the Demon Realm, if you want to connect via projection, you will need an item that is closely related to that scene. If you want to go there in person, it will be impossible unless there is a node at that location."
Chen Lin fell silent after hearing this.
What the other party meant was that if he wanted to enter the demon world in his true form, he would have to ask Master Wanmeng for help, otherwise it would be meaningless for him.
What he wanted was to avoid disaster, not to really explore the demon world.
Seeing Chen Lin's expression, Liu Ruolan comforted him, "But the demon world is very strange. My master once said that he had not even touched the surface of it, so it is not completely accurate. Brother Chen, don't be discouraged. Maybe there is a special way to do it. In addition, if Brother Chen wants to explore the demon world, he will definitely need a fairy stone. I happen to have one here, so I will give it to Brother Chen as a token of my appreciation."
After saying that, he ordered someone to bring a box, which was opened to reveal a fist-sized stone.
Chen Lin was surprised. He didn't expect that the other party actually had this thing and gave it to him so generously.
He wanted to refuse, but when he thought about the fact that he really needed this thing, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I really need this thing, so I would be disrespectful to refuse it. However, I can't take it for free. An equal exchange is necessary. I have some leftover foundation-building pills here. Since you run a business, you should be able to use them."
The Immortal Stone did not have a clear price. It was very precious to those who wanted to explore the Demon Realm, but was worthless to ordinary cultivators. So he did not give spirit stones, but instead traded it with the Foundation Establishment Pill, which was relatively scarce but no longer needed by him. The Foundation Establishment Pill was hard currency and no business could be without it.
Sure enough, after hearing what Chen Lin said, Liu Ruolan did not refuse.
Then the two of them started discussing the affairs of the demon world, and the other party also answered Chen Lin's questions about the Demon-Suppressing Temple.
He also briefly talked about his experience of entering the demon world.
After chatting for a while, the two exchanged communication tokens, and Chen Lin said goodbye and left.
After returning to the cave, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He felt that Liu Ruolan did not tell him the whole truth, but this was not necessarily because the other party deliberately concealed it. Rather, all of the other party's actions regarding the Demon Realm were arranged by Master Wan Meng. It was related to the secrets of his own master, so it was normal not to reveal it to the outside world.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to tell anyone about the Silver Fairy.
But in this case, it would not be easy for him to learn more about the demon world. Even the person who saved his life was unwilling to say more, let alone others. It seemed that he had to make long-term plans.
In addition, the information about the Demon-Suppressing Temple also made him suspicious.
According to the other party, Master Wanmeng has preserved many items from the demon world, one of which can pull a person's projection into a temple scene. That temple is called Demon-Suppressing Temple, and the place where the temple is located is actually called Cangyun Mountain!
There are many Demon-Suppressing Temples, but the Demon-Suppressing Temple on Cangyun Mountain is the birthplace of Master Niankong. Although the location in the real world was not found, news of it was obtained in the demon world.
It is said that the scenes in the demon world are projections of the real world. If this is true, then there is nothing wrong with the existence of the Demon-Suppressing Temple in the demon world. But if not, things become confusing.
It can’t be that Master Niankong is someone who came out of the demon world!
After thinking for a while without any idea, Chen Lin put the matter aside for the time being. If he really wanted to explore, Liu Ruolan would not have the final say. He had to obtain the consent of Master Wan Meng before he could use the item from the demon world. Master Wan Meng was in seclusion at the moment, so Luo Ruolan did not dare to disturb him.
In this case, his idea of hiding in the demon world to avoid the golden elixir tribulation would be difficult to achieve, and he would have to find other ways.
In fact, when it comes to treasures that can withstand heavenly tribulations, there is no treasure more suitable than the Black Tortoise Shield. If this spiritual treasure is refined, one won't have to worry about the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, not to mention the Nascent Soul Tribulation or even the Divine Transformation Tribulation, let alone the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.
He even suspected that the main function of this spiritual treasure was to resist heavenly calamity. Otherwise, even if it was a defensive spiritual treasure, it would be impossible for it not to have an offensive treasure ban engraved on it. It would be such a waste of materials.
However, refining this treasure would be a long and arduous task. His cultivation was already close to the perfection of foundation building, and the materials for the Seven Star Pill were already prepared. It was impossible for him to wait that long to make a breakthrough.
"If we really can't find a treasure to avoid disaster, we can only return to the northern cultivation world!"
After thinking for a while, he felt that he could not think of a good solution, so he could only end the trip and return. As for finding Mu Linglong and Zhao Mengru, he would wait until he was promoted to the Golden Core stage and then make a decision based on the situation.
If one does not make a breakthrough in the inner cultivation technique, one can never be considered a true Jindan cultivator. One will be constrained in every way. Not only can one not use magic weapons, but one cannot even practice high-level spells. This will have a huge impact on the path of cultivation and one must not delay any longer.
After making the decision, Chen Lin began to refine the Seven Star Pill.
The process went very smoothly. He first used low-level materials to refine it four times, and it took shape on the fifth time. He obtained what is probably the only six-pattern seven-star pill in the current world of immortal cultivation!
If this pill were released, it would probably cause foundation-building cultivators to fight for it and get hurt.
Increasing the chance of forming a pill by 60% is simply unimaginable!
Chen Lin himself was also overjoyed. He looked at it happily for a long time before carefully putting it away.
What he didn't expect was that just after he finished refining the Seven Star Pill, he received a message from Liu Ruolan, saying that Master Wan Meng had come out of seclusion and asked him to come over!
