Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 35: Mentor and apprentice

Views:

Chen Lin had acted cautiously enough after traveling through time, and he almost reflected on himself.

However, the cultivators' methods were too powerful, and his thinking had not yet completely changed, which led to repeated setbacks.

Despite Lu Li's aggressiveness, Ye Jingyun remained indifferent.

"Making a talisman, what kind of talisman?"

She pretended to be ignorant of the Soul Binding Talisman, raised her eyebrows and said in confusion: "The Third Master Lu actually asked my disciple to refine the talisman. This really surprised me. Is there any talisman that the Great Talisman Master Lu Yuanshan of your Lu family can't make?"

“Then again, if even the great talisman master Lu Yuanshan can’t refine the talisman, how can a disciple like me possibly refine it? Third Master Lu, are you kidding me?”

Lu Li frowned.

This is really hard for him to explain.

It can't be said that refining the soul-binding talisman requires splitting one's own soul, so he can't ask his cousin Lu Yuanshan for help.

After thinking for a while, he bypassed Ye Jingyun and spoke directly to Chen Lin: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I came to you to ask you to help me refine a talisman like last time. You don't have to deny it. As long as you can help me refine it, you can ask for anything. Although I, Lu Li, am a little arrogant, I always keep my word. I gave you all the spirit stones I promised you last time!"

If intimidation fails, try bribery.

Chen Lin really had to admit that the other party had indeed given him fifty mid-grade spirit stones last time, not a single one less, which was quite conscientious.

Of course, the opponent also killed the old talisman master with one sword, which was a typical case of those who obey me prosper and those who disobey me perish.

To be honest, he was a little moved.

Refining the soul-binding talisman was nothing to him, and now that he had a backer, he didn’t have to worry about being killed.

If the benefit given by the other party is sufficient, it is not impossible to refine it once.

Too bad he can't make his own decisions.

Compared with gaining benefits, what Ye Jingyun and Yu Yuehai thought of him was more important.

"Everything is up to the Master!"

Chen Lin bowed to Ye Jingyun, looking like a good disciple.

Since the other party defined their relationship as master and disciple, he naturally had to cooperate.

Ye Jingyun glanced at Chen Lin and said expressionlessly, "As far as I know, Wang Yuanheng of Duobao Pavilion's method of refining the Soul Binding Talisman is extremely damaging to the soul. If Master Lu insists that you refine it, I, as a master, cannot watch my apprentice suffer. It depends on what kind of benefits Master Lu can offer that are irresistible."

Lu Li's brows furrowed even deeper.

I originally thought that Chen Lin was just a rootless duckweed who could be easily taken advantage of after being found, but I didn't expect that he was related to this woman.

Everyone in Kaiyuan City knew that this woman was not easy to mess with. He didn't want to cause trouble for the family at this time, so he could only bleed heavily.

And judging from the other party's tone, it seems that he doesn't want the spirit stones.

After thinking about it, he reached out and took out two items from the storage bag.

A jade box and a dark green flying sword.

"Here are two items. One is the Soul Nourishing Pill, which nourishes the soul and can make up for the damage to the soul caused by making the talisman this time. The other is this flying sword, which I used before. It is a mid-grade magic weapon, and it is the best among the mid-grade magic weapons. With these two items as a reward, do you think Pavilion Master Ye is satisfied?"

Ye Jingyun did not speak, but looked at Chen Lin, "You decide your own affairs, but you can rest assured that if you don't want to, no one can force you."

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Lu Li's eyes on the other side.

But he did not get angry, but looked at Chen Lin quietly.

Chen Lin acted submissive, and there was a hint of greed and struggle in his eyes as he looked at the dark green flying sword.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll give it a try, but if I can't make it, don't blame me!"

Hearing Chen Lin's agreement, Lu Li's expression finally looked better.

He said, "Since I have already succeeded once, how can I fail to refine it the second time? Moreover, I have brought enough materials. If it doesn't work, I can try a few more times. With this Soul Nourishing Pill, I don't need to worry about the damage to my soul."

The two sides reached a deal, and the tense atmosphere was immediately swept away.

Lu Li was very anxious and asked Chen Lin to refine it on the spot.

Chen Lin did not refuse.

The three of them walked into Chen Lin's room.

The room was extremely simple. Apart from daily necessities, the only eye-catching things were the bronze bell and the iron pot furnace in the corner.

Lu Li first glanced at the bronze bell, and then his eyes fell on the iron pot alchemy furnace, "No wonder Pavilion Master Ye wanted to accept Fellow Daoist Chen as his disciple. It turns out that Fellow Daoist can not only make talismans, but also refine pills."

Neither Chen Lin nor Ye Jingyun said anything.

Lu Li didn't care.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, an evil aura rose up, and he immediately sneered and said, "You are in your forties, in the middle stage of Qi training, and you still dream of becoming an alchemist? And you use a broken iron pot to make pills, it's really funny!"

After saying this, he seemed to be unaware of his own abnormality. He took out a bulging pocket and put it on the table.

"The materials for making talismans are all here. They are enough to make more than ten times. Fellow Daoist Chen, let's get started now!"

Chen Lin nodded, opened his pocket and looked inside, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Please ask Master and Fellow Daoist Lu to wait outside. To refine this talisman, you need to use the Soul Splitting Secret Technique. I am not very proficient in the use of secret techniques, so as not to be distracted and affect the effect of making the talisman."

This request is reasonable.

Any cultivator who is making talismans or refining pills is most afraid of being disturbed, so Lu Li walked out without saying a word.

Ye Jingyun looked at Chen Lin deeply and said, "The effect of the Soul Nourishing Pill in nourishing the soul is limited. It cannot completely make up for the damage caused by the split soul. You have to do it according to your ability."

Chen Lin showed a trace of gratitude, "Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will pay attention to it."

Ye Jingyun said nothing more and walked out of the room.

Although the two walked out, they did not go far and did not close the door.

Chen Lin also did not close the door. Since Lu Li wanted to monitor him, he would do as he wished.

He just didn't want to use the soul-splitting technique for fear of being discovered by the other party. This distance was enough.

The scene of the innate ability forcibly making an item successfully is also very vague, and it cannot be felt unless it is close.

After putting the talisman paper and ink away and recalling the production process twice in his mind, Chen Lin began to write.

However, just after drawing two runes, a ball of black light appeared on the talisman paper and it turned into ashes.

The corner of Lu Li's mouth outside twitched involuntarily.

Ye Jingyun had a blank expression on her face. The soul-binding talisman was not something she needed, so it didn't matter whether it worked or not.

The second refining begins.

This time was much better than the first time. I got halfway through drawing the rune before it failed.

Then came the third time, the fourth time, and the fifth time.

After repeated failures, Lu Li outside finally couldn't help it anymore, and took advantage of Chen Lin's break to say, "Daoyou Lu, after so many experiments, you should use the Soul Division Secret Technique, but these are all the materials I have."

Although the distance makes it impossible to sense whether Chen Lin used the soul-splitting secret technique, it can be inferred based on the production speed.

It is impossible to refine it so quickly using secret techniques.

Moreover, Chen Lin has not yet used the soul-nourishing pill. If he continued to divide his soul like this, he would have become an idiot.

His materials were not blown by the wind, so he felt sad to see them wasted.

Chen Lin stood up and stretched his body, took out some talisman papers again and arranged them, then nodded to Lu Li.

Then, he sat on the stool, took out the soul-nourishing pill, and swallowed it in one gulp!
