Chen Lin continued to use the pseudonym Lin Feiyu, and pointed out that he was a casual cultivator, and then checked the reactions of several cultivators.
If these people killed him for his treasure, they could only blame it on their bad luck.
However, this did not happen. Although the handsome man was arrogant, he had no intention of taking action. Instead, he glanced at Chen Lin and said, "I am Hua Wuhai, a disciple of the Baihua Sect. I am now in this sea area to explore a ruin. If you have nothing else to do, please leave!"
Chen Lin looked at the other person in surprise.
This person is actually from the Baihua Sect, and his surname is Hua. No wonder he is so arrogant.
The Baihua Sect is one of the three great super powers in the southern immortal cultivation world. The sect's headquarters is the famous Baihua Fairy City. Although he has never been there, he knows that this city is the largest city in the current Fanxing Continent.
The leader of this sect is a female cultivator named Fairy of Flowers, who has reached the late Nascent Soul stage. It is said that her strength is unfathomable, and no one has ever seen her true appearance.
The Fairy of Flowers’ surname is Hua, so the other party is naturally the descendant of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and has the conditions to be arrogant.
"So you are a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect. I won't disturb you from exploring the ruins!"
Chen Lin nodded and flew away.
Since the other party did not take advantage of his status to rob others, he naturally would not rely on his cultivation to bully a few juniors. Moreover, he was not interested in the so-called ruins and would just go to another place to hunt monsters.
Chen Lin simply came to the edge of the near sea and the far sea, and going deeper was the area of strong winds and thunderstorms.
He had found killing second-level monsters a bit boring these days. Although the process was smooth, if he wanted to use second-level monster souls to refine the Black Tortoise Shield, the number required would be huge, so he planned to go a little deeper and try to hunt third-level monsters.
At the same time, he also wanted to use the thunderstorms here to practice the Thunder Escape Technique and gain a deeper understanding of this escape technique.
With a slap on his storage bag, Chen Lin took out a dark red flying sword.
This was the natal magic weapon obtained from the Jindan Sect Master of the Tianying Sect. His own natal magic weapon had not been refined yet, so he used this to deal with it first. Although the power of someone else's natal magic weapon would be greatly reduced, it was much stronger than a spiritual weapon.
Ten days later.
In the strong wind and thunderstorm above the sea, a figure kept flashing, crossing a long distance each time, treating the thunderstorm as nothing.
"Thunder from the sky is coming!"
The figure flashed for a while, and suddenly he raised his hand, and then a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck down at a giant crab monster below.
Suddenly, bursts of lightning appeared on the body of the giant crab, and it let out a strange hissing sound in pain.
The figure was Chen Lin. He was delighted when he saw this. He pointed his flying sword and slashed at the crab. After a flash of sword light, the crab was split into two.
He hurriedly fell from the thunderstorm, used a secret technique to extract the crab's demon soul and put it into the soul bottle.
Then he took out the crab's demon pill, dismembered and put away the important materials, and left the place quickly.
After a while, Chen Lin landed on a small island, and then began to check the harvest while recovering his mana.
This small island was the base he chose. He set up several layers of defensive magic arrays that he bought at great expense. With this as a support, and with the help of the convenience of Thunder Escape Technique, hunting monsters was like a fish in water. In just half a month, he hunted four third-level monsters, which made him very excited.
At this rate, there is hope of gathering enough souls required for the Ten Thousand Souls Creation Technique.
"Um?"
Chen Lin, who was practicing, suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then looked at a storage bag around his waist.
The storage bag actually vibrated slightly.
The storage bag is an independent space, which should be isolated from the outside. Anything that can break through this isolation and emit strange signs is not an ordinary thing, but he can't remember what treasure is placed in this storage bag.
With a look of doubt, he took off the storage bag and put it aside, then used his spiritual sense to check from a distance.
Finally, to his astonished gaze, a round token floated out by itself.
It turned out to be this thing
Chen Lin frowned, grabbed the token and examined it carefully.
If this thing had not caused any unusual behavior, he would have almost forgotten about it. He got it from Huang Dafu of Qingshan Sect. Later, he suspected that the Jindan cultivator of Tianying Sect intercepted him and asked for this thing, but he did not find anything special about it, so he no longer paid attention to it.
At this time, the token not only emitted a bright light, but also carried a strange fluctuation. The pattern on it changed rapidly, and finally formed an arrow, pointing to somewhere in the sea!
"It seems that my initial suspicion was correct. This thing is really extraordinary!"
Chen Lin looked at it with interest for a while. Needless to say, it must be the key to enter some secret realm or ruins. It's a pity that it fell into his hands, which was like a waste of talent. He had encountered too many strange events during this period of time. No matter what secret realm it was, he would not go there again.
He found a box to put the token in, then sealed it with a sealing talisman. After making sure that the fluctuations could not be emitted, he put it back into the storage bag, and then collected all the formation flags on the island.
Since a secret realm appeared here, it would definitely become the center of trouble and would no longer be suitable for hunting monsters. Just as he wanted to go to Island No. 9 to take a look, he took the opportunity to leave.
Another half month passed.
Chen Lin compared the nautical chart provided by Tan Tai Yun Jin with his own nautical chart and finally determined the exact location of Island No. 9.
But when he risked his life and traveled all the way to the destination, he found that the island had disappeared!
His face couldn't help but look ugly.
The location was definitely correct. He still vaguely remembered the two surrounding islands, and it matched the nautical chart that Luo Qinglan had given him, but Island Number Nine was missing!
After searching for the clothes in the surrounding sea area for more than ten days, Chen Lin later suspected that the sea level had risen and the island had sunk into the water. He searched underwater for a long time but still found nothing.
In the end, I could only leave in disappointment.
Without the teleportation array on Island No. 9, it would be a lot of trouble for him to return to the Silver Fairy City. He had planned to go back during this period to see if he could get the thunder attribute skills from the Silver Fairy, and then come back, but now he can't do it.
Chen Lin was in a very bad mood after losing such an important channel.
He was not in the mood to continue hunting monsters, so he planned to return to land to recuperate for a while. If he still couldn't find a thunder-attributed technique, he would find a wood or fire-attributed technique to practice, and then work on refining his natal flying sword.
As for the matter of the Basalt Shield, it can only be postponed for now.
"Huh?"
While Chen Lin was practicing the Thunder Escape Technique in the thunderstorm, he was approaching the land. Suddenly, a golden light flashed past him quickly and then flew back quickly.
"Hahaha, it really is Brother Chen. I thought I was seeing things!"
The golden light stopped, and a familiar face appeared in front of Chen Lin, laughing.
Chen Lin was also startled, then said with a look of joy: "It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Jin. After not seeing you for several years, Fellow Daoist Jin is still as charming as ever!"
This person turned out to be Luo Ziwen whom he met in the fake Lingbao Huangquan map, and his actual name was Jin Xingyun.
Later he made inquiries and learned that this person was the young master of Jinguan Island, one of the three immortal islands overseas. The master of Jinguan Island, Jin Wentian, was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. However, it was said that his life span was almost over and he had been relying on longevity elixirs to prolong his life.
Jin Xingyun looked Chen Lin up and down and said, "Brother Chen, why don't you be so polite? We are friends who have been through thick and thin together. Is it difficult for you to call me brother? But Brother Chen's cultivation progress is really rapid. In just a few years, he has already broken through to the Golden Core stage. Congratulations!"
Chen Lin smiled when he heard this and said, "Since Brother Jin doesn't think I'm too high up, then I'll accept you as my brother. Don't think I'm a burden and regret it in the future!"
The other party's cultivation has reached the great perfection of the Golden Core Realm. It would be a shame not to embrace such a big thigh that is offered to you on your own initiative.
“Haha, that’s refreshing!”
Jin Xingyun praised him and said, "When have I ever disliked brothers for being a burden? When you have a chance, come to my Jinguan Island and take a look. You will know that my family are all kind-hearted people, unlike the Gu family, who only play dirty tricks."
Chen Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard this. So many years had passed, but the other party was still brooding over the fact that he had been tricked by Gu Shengjin.
Jin Xingyun did not continue to talk about this matter, but changed the subject and asked: "Brother, why are you here? Did you also get the Hunyuan Order and go to participate in the Hunyuan Conference?"
"Hunyuan Order, is this what Brother Jin is talking about?"
Chen Lin's expression changed and he took out the round token. After the other party said that, he felt that the pattern on the token really looked like the abstract word "Hun Yuan".
"Haha, my dear brother, you really came here for the Hunyuan Conference. Then it's just right for you and I to go together and meet the heroes of the world!"
When Jin Xingyun saw the token in Chen Lin's hand, he was surprised at first, and then said happily.
Chen Lin had no idea what the Hunyuan Conference was. After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth: "To be honest with you, Brother Jin, I only got this token by chance. A few days ago, something strange happened, but I thought it was just a key to an ordinary secret realm, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now even a figure like Brother Jin is alarmed. It seems that this Hunyuan Conference is very important. I wonder what it is like?"
"An accidental gain?"
Jin Xingyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then you are really lucky, my dear brother. This Hunyuan Conference is a large-scale auction event jointly held by all races in this world. It is held once every hundred years, and countless top-quality treasures appear every time!"
He paused for a moment and continued, "The auction is held in a special secret place that contains a kind of Dao rhyme. As long as you enter, you can get a lot of benefits. Therefore, only the elites of major forces are invited. Each Hunyuan Order is very precious. It is a great opportunity for you to get it."
An auction held jointly by different races
Chen Lin was a little surprised. He never thought that this token was used for this. But if it was true, he would be really interested.
It just so happens that he is now looking for a lot of materials and thunder-attributed skills, so he cannot miss such an auction.
