Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 28: Ye Jingyun

When he returned to his residence, Chen Lin found that the woman from Shuiyue Pavilion was standing in the yard, looking up at the sky.

When she saw Chen Lin come in, she looked at him for a long time with a scrutinizing gaze but did not say anything.

Chen Lin touched his nose, not knowing what to say, and simply went back to his room.

After entering the house, he began to refine the enlightenment pill.

Anyway, his talent for alchemy has been exposed, so there is no need to hide it anymore.

After failing ten times in a row, he got a black pill.

After completing the refining, he continued to refine it a few more times, but naturally failed again.

The purpose of doing this is to cover up his ability to hit the target ten times out of ten. If he succeeded exactly once every ten times, it would be too obvious.

By shuffling the order, you can fool the other party into thinking that they were just lucky.

Even so, the woman from Shuiyue Pavilion outside the courtyard had a look of surprise and doubt on her face.

"Is there really such a lucky person in this world? This is a treasure. No wonder Senior Brother Yu asked me to protect him secretly and take him away with me."

Chen Lin didn't know that although Yu Yuehai had lifted his house arrest, he had asked the woman from Shuiyue Pavilion to follow him secretly. On the one hand, he was afraid that he would be in danger, and on the other hand, he wanted to further observe where his "luck" came from.

Or maybe it’s not luck at all, but something else.

Chen Lin didn't know about this, and even if he knew, he would be powerless to do anything. After the pill was refined, he couldn't wait to start testing it.

This time he chose to practice Vajra Shield, the only defensive spell in "Detailed Explanation of Elementary Spells" and also a lower-grade first-level spell with average defensive power.

Of course, this generally refers to cultivators. If it is used against mortals, even the top masters in the martial arts world will not be able to break it.

Defensive spells are the most difficult to practice. Even if the Vajra Shield is at a very low level, it is very mysterious and complicated. Chen Lin had studied it for a long time before, but he could not figure it out.

For techniques like driving objects and controlling the wind, although the progress is slow, I can finally understand them roughly. But for this one, I am completely in the dark.

He couldn't help but doubt his own intelligence again.

I guess with such talent, in his previous life he would have been the last among the poor students and the nemesis of the teachers.

However, his academic performance in his previous life was not very bad, at least he got a third-rate score. So he put the blame on the original owner, lamenting that he did not choose a good target when he traveled through time.

After feeling sorry for himself for a while, he calmed down and swallowed the enlightenment pill.

A mysterious feeling appeared, and Chen Lin immediately began to comprehend the contents of the Vajra Shield.

Immediately his eyes lit up.

Sure enough, things feel different after taking the medicine.

When I read the content of the spell again at this moment, I immediately had a much better understanding in my mind, and the previous feeling of reading a mystery disappeared.

A quarter of an hour later, he finally roughly understood the working principle of this spell, but he was still a little short of getting started.

The mysterious feeling faded, and a sharp pain suddenly appeared.

Just as Chen Lin covered his head with his hands and cursed Yu Yuehai for deceiving him, a cool breath suddenly emerged from his dantian and rushed straight to his brain.

Then, he felt his head clear and the pain faded a lot.

Although it was still a bit painful, it was within the tolerable range and I didn't have to roll around on the ground holding my head.

It really works!

Chen Lin was pleasantly surprised.

Although it was disgusting to have a worm in his stomach, he couldn't care less about that now. What was important was to learn more spells to improve his survivability.

In a good mood, he tidied up and cooked a pot of spiritual rice porridge. After eating it, he started to refine the enlightenment pill again.

Because I had tried it several times before, this time I only had to refine it six times to succeed.

The woman from Shuiyue Pavilion outside had been watching Chen Lin's actions with her senses. At this moment, she frowned slightly, showing a look of confusion.

Then, she looked at Yu Yuehai's room and slowly walked to Chen Lin's door.

“Knock, knock.”

She stretched out her slender fingers and knocked twice on the door.

"Friend Chen, I'm coming in!"

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Lin to speak, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Chen Lin stood up immediately, not caring about the other party's rudeness.

Considering the current status of both parties, knocking on the door is already very polite.

"Is there anything I can do for you, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Lin didn't understand the other party's purpose and took the initiative to ask.

The woman glanced around the room, and finally her eyes fell on the iron pot and furnace, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"You are truly a natural talent. You have been able to refine the Enlightenment Pill using this simple furnace. It is truly astonishing!"

Chen Lin didn't say anything.

The more you talk, the more trouble you will get into.

Seeing that Chen Lin did not respond, the woman did not take it seriously. Instead, she smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we are now companions. Fellow Daoist Chen, I am afraid you don't know my name yet? My surname is Ye, my name is Jingyun, I have been cultivating immortals for twenty years, and I have reached the ninth level of Qi training."

Chen Lin looked surprised.

I didn't expect that this woman's cultivation was so high that she had already reached the last level of the Qi training period.

These two were definitely not ordinary cultivators, but no one knew where they came from.

Ye Jingyun did not intend to continue the introduction, but changed the subject, staring into Chen Lin's eyes, and said expectantly: "I heard that fellow Taoist is also good at making talismans?"

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I know a little, but I can only make low-level talismans at the moment."

Having lived in the same courtyard with Yu Yuehai for several years, he knew everything about him and could not hide it from the other party.

Ye Jingyun glanced at Chen Lin with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you so modest? I heard from my senior brother that you can even refine the Soul Binding Talisman. That is a special talisman that even I cannot refine."

Chen Lin opened his mouth and cursed in his heart.

It seems that he didn't hide his true identity at all, and it was all known to others.

It's a pity that he thought he was being very secretive and cautious enough!

He gave a helpless smile and said, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from the eyes of Daoist friends. But that time it was pure luck. I don't know why I was able to refine it in a short time."

Ye Jingyun looked at him again and said enviously, "Luck is also a kind of strength. I just lack this kind of luck."

Chen Lin was silent again.

He didn't know what to say. After all, they were not familiar with each other. What if he said something wrong and made the other party angry and hit him? That would be looking for trouble.

Now that the Blood Demon Pill has been refined, his role can be said to be dispensable, and he needs to find his own position.

Ye Jingyun was just sighing to himself and had no intention of asking Chen Lin for comfort. After discovering Chen Lin's attitude, he couldn't help but smile.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't worry. Although my brother's methods are a bit cruel, as long as you don't resist, he won't make things difficult for you."

After saying that, she reached out and gently touched the storage bag on her waist, and a jade slip appeared in her hand.

It was handed to him under Chen Lin's puzzled gaze.

"What does Fellow Daoist Ye mean?"

Chen Lin asked doubtfully.

"This is a method for refining a talisman. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Chen to take a look and see if I can refine it."
