In the training room of the City Lord's Mansion, a man and a woman opened their eyes at the same time.
After looking at each other, Liu Ruolan immediately stood up and said, "Brother Chen, there is no time to lose. I will go and reply to Master right away. Please wait for a moment, Brother Chen."
Since the other party didn't let him go with them, Chen Lin didn't say much and just nodded to show that he understood.
After the other party left, he began to check his physical condition. After finding nothing abnormal, he took out a blank jade slip from his storage bag.
Although he did not obtain the subsequent techniques of the Vajra Body Refining Technique in the Sutra Library, he did obtain a spell to exorcise demons and monsters called the Vajra Seal.
Although this spell requires one to reach the Vajra Realm before practicing, it does not require one to comprehend Buddhism, so he can also use it. This just solves his embarrassing situation of having the power of Dharma but no Buddhist spells to use.
This time when he left the Demon Realm, he tried to bring a lot of things with him, but he only took out the Buddhist beads. He couldn't even take out the bird cage. Also, the cassock was taken out by Liu Ruolan.
This made Chen Lin a little depressed.
However, judging from the situations of entering the demon world several times, it can be inferred that the items in the demon world can only be taken away if they are obtained through specific methods. Otherwise, no matter how many things you take, you will not be able to take anything out.
This is also the reason why items from the demon world are rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
He also discovered that even the contents of the spells he remembered in his mind were fading little by little, so he hurriedly recorded them down.
After entering the contents of the spell into the jade slip and making sure there was nothing missed, Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief and began to practice breathing in and out the pure spiritual energy in the training room to recover his body.
After waiting for a while, Liu Ruolan returned with an excited smile on her face.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is so happy. It looks like that robe is really the abbot's robe!"
Chen Lin's mood improved when he saw this.
If the thing is correct, then he will be able to get the reward promised by Master Wan Meng. With the treasure that allows him to temporarily enter the demon world in his true form, he can immediately begin to break through the Jindan realm.
Liu Ruolan nodded and said, "Yes, Master said it should be that cassock. He admired Daoist Chen's ability very much and said that he would look for Daoist Chen to cooperate with him in the future."
Chen Lin didn't care whether the other party cooperated or not. He only cared about the treasure, so he didn't say anything and just looked at the other party quietly.
Liu Ruolan smiled and took out a small box from her storage bag.
"Don't worry. My master is a man of such status that he can't go back on his word. This is what he promised to give you."
She did not open the box, but handed it directly to Chen Lin and said, "Master asked me to remind you, fellow Taoist, no matter what treasure you use, if you want to enter the Demon Realm with your true body, you must be at the node between the two worlds. There are not many known nodes in the Demon Realm, and many of them are directly connected to very dangerous scenes. Don't act rashly."
"In addition, this item has a limited number of uses. It can only support three times of use at most. Fellow Daoist, please use it with caution."
Seeing Chen Lin's brows gradually frowning, Liu Ruolan spoke again: "However, my master is very satisfied with your performance this time, and has specially left two safe nodes for you in the box. If you want to do some experiments or have other uses, you can enter the demon world from these two locations."
Then he reminded: "Even so, the time spent in the real body cannot be too long, and you must not rashly leave the vicinity of the node. Once you get lost inside and can't find the node, you will never be able to come back!"
Chen Lin's heart trembled, and he bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist. I understand now."
Although this treasure was far from what he had expected, it barely met the minimum requirements and could help avoid the heavenly calamity. Moreover, he had no room for bargaining with Master Wanmeng and could only accept it.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Lin and Liu Ruolan separated and returned to their own caves.
In just less than half a day, he was exhausted and it took him a day and a night to recover.
Then he began to prepare for the tribulation.
The first thing was to look for the two nodes provided by Master Wanmeng, one in the depths of the wilderness and the other on the edge of the Wuding Sea. In the end, he decided to choose the one from the Wuding Sea.
The golden elixir tribulation causes quite a stir, and it is easy to attract powerful monsters or evil creatures in the depths of the wilderness. The edge of the Wuding Sea is relatively safer.
The node selection was completed, but Chen Lin did not conduct any experiment. This was just a backup plan. If the golden thunder had not appeared, he would have no need to use this dangerous method.
The treasure that Master Wan Meng gave him was actually a high-level boundary-breaking talisman with a limited number of uses. This thing could even break through the demonic plane, so breaking through other formations and barriers would certainly be a piece of cake. It couldn't be wasted.
Everything was ready, and Chen Lin returned to Tianyun Fairy City.
Overcoming the tribulation was no small matter, especially in an unprotected place like the Wuding Sea, so he needed to find a master to protect him. The only person he knew and trusted in the southern immortal cultivation world was Tan Tai Yun Jin.
As for Liu Ruolan, the time of contact is still short, so it is impossible to see her character clearly, and her cultivation is not as high as Tan Tai Yunjin.
"If you want to reach the Golden Core stage, you can do so in my cave. The cave has a defensive formation that can reduce the power of the thunder. Moreover, it is extremely safe in this city and will not be disturbed by monsters or other external things. Why do you have to choose a dangerous place like Wudinghai?"
When Tan Tai Yun Jin heard Chen Lin's request, she couldn't help but feel confused.
When undergoing tribulation, the location should be as safe as possible. No cultivator would go to the Wuding Sea, unless they were evil demons who were hated by everyone and dared not enter the major cities. But Chen Lin was obviously not one of them.
Since he wanted the other party to protect him, he naturally could not hide anything, so Chen Lin briefly explained his situation.
But he did not mention the time travel. He just said that for some unknown reason, his lightning would change suddenly, so if he could not resist it, he planned to hide in the demon world.
"Golden lightning will appear during the Jindan Heaven Tribulation. Do we need to hide in the Demon Realm?"
With Tan Tai Yun Jin's identity, she naturally knew about the existence of the Demon Realm, but she was even more shocked and suspicious.
"In this case, there is really no other good way. No one else can help with the thunderbolt, and we can only withstand it by ourselves. Then let's do as you say, fellow Taoist!"
After thinking for a while, she continued, "But this matter still requires some more preparation. You wait here for a while. I will prepare some materials, and then let the formation master of the Immortal City go with us to set up a large defense formation there. Otherwise, there are many high-level monsters in the Wuding Sea. If they are attracted by the thunder, it will be troublesome."
Chen Lin had this idea a long time ago, but he didn't mention it because he was afraid it would cause too much trouble to the other party. Now that the other party brought it up himself, it couldn't be better.
The formation took a long time to set up and consumed a lot of materials. Naturally, Chen Lin could not let Tan Tai Yun Jin bear the cost. He paid for Tianyun Xiancheng with elixirs and other treasures.
Even so, he was extremely grateful. If it weren't for Tan Tai Yun Jin's identity, he wouldn't be able to hire a formation master on his own. Even if he could, he wouldn't dare to use someone he didn't trust.
"Fellow Daoist Tantai, thank you for your concern!"
After the formation was set up, Chen Lin thanked Tan Tai Yun Jin and walked into the formation.
He took out the prepared Six-Pattern Seven-Star Pill and swallowed it, then he practiced the Three Yang Burning Wood Technique and began to impact the Golden Core Realm.
Tan Tai Yun Jin and the formation master stood side by side, looking in the distance. Behind them were disciples such as Luan An, and Chen Qiao Yun's family.
At this moment, Chen Qiaoyun's family have all successfully established their foundation. Instead of becoming older over the years, their faces have become much younger. Even Chen Qiaoyun, who looks the oldest, has become radiant and no longer looks like she was dying before.
"Dad, Mom, do you think my second grandfather will be okay?"
After Chen Qingying established her foundation, she was influenced by her Wood Yuan physique and became particularly elegant. She was pursued by countless male cultivators in Tianyun Immortal City, including children from large families, but she rejected them all.
She knew that these young men from big families were not interested in her, but Elder Dan Tai behind her. The reason why Elder Dan Tai was kind to her family was because of Second Grandfather's face. So she was very worried that something might happen to Chen Lin. She didn't want to go back to the life of fear in her days as a casual cultivator.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Qiaoyun glared at her daughter, but also showed worry.
She is also a senior cultivator with rich experience over the years. She has seen many cultivators go through the Jindan tribulation. She knows that this tribulation is very dangerous. Once failed, there will be danger of death. The best result is physical damage. Unless there is a treasure that is powerful enough to repair the body, there will be no possibility of a breakthrough.
In other words, there is only one chance to reach the Golden Core stage, unlike the Foundation Establishment stage where one can rely on the Foundation Establishment Pill to make repeated breakthroughs.
"here we go!"
Zhang Dayuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, diverting the attention of Chen Qiaoyun and her daughter.
I saw a large area of dark clouds beginning to accumulate in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Seeing this scene, Tan Tai Yun Jin's expression relaxed.
The fact that it could gather into a calamity cloud meant that Chen Lin's first and most important step had been completed. His essence, energy and spirit had been condensed into one, forming the prototype of the golden elixir. As long as he could safely pass through the heavenly calamity and be baptized by the power of the heavenly calamity, the golden elixir would be completely stable and the breakthrough would be successful.
Most cultivators who are trying to achieve the Golden Core state fail at this first step.
But immediately, Tan Tai Yun Jin's expression became solemn.
"Elder Tan Tai, your friend's tribulation seems to be a little different. It is much more powerful than a normal tribulation. No wonder you treat it so carefully."
The formation master standing by was also a knowledgeable man. When he felt the power of the calamity cloud, his face suddenly turned strange and he spoke.
Tan Tai Yun Jin nodded and said, "It is indeed a little different. It may be because of his deep accumulation. However, he has already cultivated the body refining technique to the golden elixir level. He should have no problem with this level of tribulation lightning."
"That's true." The formation master nodded. "Body training does have many benefits, and it is also very helpful in resisting the heavenly tribulation. It's just that it takes too much time and resources to practice. Your friend is not an ordinary person."
While the two were talking, the first thunderbolt finally condensed and fell down with a loud bang!
