Since the alien spirits regard all the cultivators in the entire world of immortal cultivation as their forbidden food, in order to protect their own interests, they should not allow the catastrophe to destroy the world of immortal cultivation, as this would be harmful rather than beneficial to them.
That's why Chen Lin tried to test Jin Xingyun. The other party was in a very high position, and the attitude he showed seemed to be somewhat hostile towards the alien spirits.
Jin Xingyun sneered and whispered, "How could those guys care about my life or death? Besides, they don't have the ability to do so. Although they claim to be gods, they are not real gods."
"Brother Jin, I have always been very puzzled by the existence of those gods. Since they can seal off this world, their strength is beyond doubt. Moreover, it is said that they have controlled many Yuanying Zhenjun through divine communication. Shouldn't they have unified this world long ago? Why do they seem to have no deterrent power?"
Seeing that the other party was willing to discuss this topic, Chen Lin immediately asked about the doubts in his mind.
The Silver Fairy never told him these topics, which resulted in him not knowing much about these secrets.
Jin Xingyun smiled calmly and said, "There are two reasons. One is that the interface will of this world rejects them, which makes those alien spirits dare not come rashly for fear of being punished by heaven. Another reason is that although most of the cultivators are selfish, those who can really cultivate to the point of condensing the Nascent Soul are all arrogant and proud. No one is willing to sacrifice the essence of their soul to become a running dog!"
Chen Lin nodded. What the other party said made sense.
The road to cultivating immortals is full of competition. Not to mention the Nascent Soul, even those who can form the Golden Elixir are people with extraordinary talent.
Jin Xingyun sighed again and said, "But people are different after all. There are also many people who are willing to be slaves in order to improve their cultivation. After all, if they get the help of those alien spirits and use the method of communicating with gods to condense the Nascent Soul, the chances of success will be much higher. Therefore, there are still quite a few Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators in this world who are the lackeys of alien spirits. It's just that these people hide very deeply and don't show it normally. No one knows who is and who is not."
Chen Lin frowned and asked in confusion: "Those alien spirits don't plunder resources, nor do they perform any evil sacrificial rituals on low-level cultivators. So what is their purpose in imprisoning the cultivators of our world? It can't be just to collect some slaves, right? If so, they should take all the slaves away instead of staying here to live like other normal cultivators, right?"
"Who knows!" Jin Xingyun shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter either. Maybe he wants to find something in our world, or maybe he just raises Gu to collect Yuanying-level slaves. Maybe those big shots know something!"
The two talked for a while, and Chen Lin ended the topic when he saw that the other party didn't know much.
Jin Xingyun had other things to do, so he gave him a communication talisman, told him to contact him if he had anything, and then left. Chen Lin continued to wander the street alone.
"What are these?"
As he walked, he was suddenly attracted by something at a stall and stopped to ask.
This stall is filled with oval stones of different sizes and shapes, some of which have patterns and emit faint energy fluctuations.
The most important thing was that there were many monks in front of the stall, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he just joined in the fun.
The stall owner was a bearded man. Upon hearing Chen Lin's question, he immediately said with a smile, "My fellow Taoist, you have good eyesight. These are spirit beast eggs. Each one is extraordinary. As long as they are successfully hatched, they will be a great help to you on your path to immortality! Some spirit beasts are ancient species with unique luck. Even if they are not hatched, wearing the eggs on your body can increase your luck and may save your life in a catastrophe!"
Chen Lin was surprised when he heard this. These things turned out to be spirit beast eggs
He did not listen to the stall owner's nonsense and picked up one at random to take a closer look. It was indeed a stone and had nothing to do with a spirit beast egg.
"What kind of spirit beast's egg is this? Fellow Daoist, can you tell me more about it so I can learn more?"
Chen Lin shook the ball-sized thing in his hand and spoke to the stall owner.
The stall owner chuckled, then said seriously: "I don't know!"
Chen Lin's face darkened, and he said, "I don't know why you said it was a spirit beast egg. Are you deceiving us?"
The stall owner waved his hands hastily and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. I bought all these spirit beast eggs. They are all ancient items that still have weak fluctuations. As for what species they are or whether they can be successfully hatched, I have no idea. Buyers rely entirely on luck. I did not hide anything, so how can I deceive you?"
Then he continued, "But everyone knows that any spirit beast egg that can survive hundreds or thousands of years and still have energy fluctuations represents an extraordinary spirit beast. If, if it hatches, then we will make a lot of money and soar to the sky!"
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, feeling a little amused and helpless.
It turned out to be a blind box guessing game, what a gamble!
He shook his head, losing interest.
If it were in the past, he might have given it a try, but ever since the traveling merchant covered in copper coins in the Demon Realm took away the luck he gained after he was promoted to the Golden Core, not only did his innate abilities fail to upgrade as he wished, he clearly felt that things were not going as smoothly as before. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but it was better to stay away from these gambling activities.
As for the technique of strong luck, there will be backlash after using it, so it can only be used in extremely major events and cannot be used for such a small matter.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you give it a try? All it takes is a piece of top-grade spirit stone. You can choose one and try your luck!"
When the stall owner saw Chen Lin leaving, he immediately started selling his products.
Chen Lin's expression changed, and he turned back and threw out three top-grade spirit stones, saying, "Then choose three!"
After saying that, without even looking at them, he randomly picked three and put them into the storage bag, but he didn't put them in. After a moment of pause, he suddenly realized something and immediately took out a spirit beast bag and put the things in.
It really is a spirit beast egg, and it’s a living egg!
The eggs of living spirit beasts are considered living beings with life fluctuations, and cannot be stored in a storage bag, unless the life fluctuations are blocked by treasures. However, in that case, the activity inside will die out soon and turn into dead eggs.
Chen Lin nodded and gave the stall owner a thumbs up, meaning that the other party was not cheating, and then left quickly.
Just as the stall owner said, it would be nice to use this item to verify his own luck. He had no shortage of spirit stones anyway. It was just that the foolish look from the cultivator next to him made him feel uncomfortable.
Then he continued to wander around the street, buying whatever he found interesting, and he gained quite a lot.
However, the items on the stalls are all ordinary items, and the real treasures will only appear at tomorrow's auction.
After walking around for a while, Chen Lin lost interest and began to walk towards the mountains and rivers in the distance, wanting to find a place to meditate and practice while waiting to attend the auction tomorrow.
This is not a real market town, as all the buildings are occupied by powerful forces. An independent cultivator like him can only find a place to rest outside. However, the area here is not small, and the spiritual energy is abundant, so there is plenty of space.
Suddenly, he looked at the three figures in the distance with a look of surprise and doubt.
These three people were all cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage. They also seemed to be looking for a place to rest, but one of them looked familiar to him.
After looking at it a few more times, he suddenly opened his mouth, looking a little unbelievable.
“It’s actually him!”
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, adjusted his face back to its original appearance, thought about using the breath-concealing technique to conceal his cultivation level at the late stage of foundation building, and quickly walked over.
"Is that Zhao Zhengyuan, the Taoist friend in front?"
Coming behind the three people, Chen Lin suddenly spoke.
The three of them turned around at once. One of the older men looked at Chen Lin with excitement on his face. "You, you are Chen Lin?"
"Hahaha, it really is Fellow Daoist Zhao. I thought I was seeing things. I didn't expect that you and I would meet here. This is really unexpected!"
Chen Lin also became excited, feeling like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"Hahaha, that's right, this is really fate. I didn't expect that you and I would meet each other one day, and both of us have successfully established our foundations!"
Zhao Zhengyuan also laughed loudly, then said a few words to his two companions, and then came to Chen Lin and said, "Let's go find a place to drink. Fortunately, you showed your power and killed that old guy, otherwise I would not have survived. Today, you and I must talk about him all night long!"
Chen Lin was also curious about his experiences over the years, and the two hit it off immediately. They found a secluded place and began to chat while eating and drinking.
"Good wine, Brother Zhao, your winemaking skills have skyrocketed. The effect of this spiritual wine is much stronger than ordinary elixirs!"
Chen Lin drank a large bowl of spirit wine that the other party brought out, and spoke happily.
However, after not seeing each other for decades, he naturally would not trust the other party blindly. Before drinking, he still tested it secretly to make sure there was no abnormality before drinking it with confidence.
Seeing Chen Lin drinking happily, Zhao Zhengyuan smiled even more. He also finished a bowl and said, "Brother Chen, you haven't aged at all in all these years. You even look younger than before. You seem to be living a comfortable life, right?"
Chen Lin shook his head. "I was very young, okay? I was sucked by the monster when I was in Kaiyuan City. But come to think of it, I thought Brother Zhao had died, but I didn't expect him to survive. I guess he must have had many opportunities over the years."
Zhao Zhengyuan sighed.
He shook his head, as if he couldn't bear to look back.
Then he said leisurely, "It was all thanks to your explosive device that killed that old monster Yu Yuehai, and I was far away from the center of the explosion, so I was lucky enough to survive. In addition to me, Ye Jingyun was not dead, and the head of the Han family, one of the five major families, was also alive. It was only after they left that I crawled out of the dirt pile and left."
Chen Lin nodded.
After throwing the Thunderbolt No. 4, he used the Earth Escape Talisman to escape, and had no idea what happened after the explosion.
Although he met Ye Jingyun later, he was like a frightened bird at that time. How could he dare to contact that woman? Naturally, he did not try to get to know her. Instead, he fled Danding City in a hurry, which resulted in him not being able to escape Tianyuan Continent in advance with Luo Qinglan and the others.
Unexpectedly, not only Ye Jingyun survived, but even the head of the Han family survived, and even the other party was safe and sound.
It seems that it was a dangerous incident. If Yu Yuehai had not been killed in the explosion, the grass on his grave would be very tall now.
