The Chen family courtyard was filled with joy and laughter.
After seeing off many people who came to congratulate them, Chen Lin's family gathered in the lobby.
He personally prepared a large table of top-quality spiritual food with the help of the girls. There was no distinction between the noble and the humble. Even the two disciples of Qin Lingyu and Chen Qingying were allowed to sit at the table together, which made the two girls flattered.
In addition to the two of them, Chen Bao also received the same treatment and got an oversized chair and sat next to Chen Ling'er.
Yun Xiu Niang was also called out from the wooden hairpin by Chen Lin.
At Chen Lin's request, Chen Ling'er had given the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma to Yun Xiu Niang, but the other party did not use it directly. Instead, she kept hiding in the wooden hairpin and did not come out. No one knew what she was doing, which made Chen Lin very confused.
"Congratulations to Auntie and Mother for becoming Golden Elixir True Men. I'll toast to you, hehe!"
Chen Ling'er's happy face never stopped smiling. She stood up, picked up the glass of spirit wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Lin only cared about his daughter's safety and didn't want the other party to be careless, but he didn't care about the red tape. On the contrary, he admired Chen Ling'er's actions and raised his glass to cooperate with her with a smile.
Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses and cheered together.
Chen Lin looked around and found that Qin Lingyu seemed a little depressed. He knew that the other party was still struggling with the fact that he was not able to overcome his inner demons with his own abilities when he was undergoing the tribulation.
After thinking for a while, he comforted her, "Yu'er, you don't need to worry about your inner demons. Although using external objects to eliminate inner demons will affect your state of mind and will be detrimental to your future practice, it doesn't mean you have to stop practicing. When I was promoted to the Golden Core Realm, someone also helped me to expel my inner demons. Now, haven't I reached the late Golden Core Realm?"
Everyone turned their attention when they heard this. They had never heard Chen Lin mention this matter before.
Qin Lingyu showed a puzzled look and said, "Husband, with your accumulation and the special effect of the Three Yang Burning Wood Technique, how could you breed an inner demon? And you can help me get rid of the inner demon, so why can't you get through it yourself?"
Seeing that everyone was very confused, Chen Lin smiled and said, "The situation was a bit special at that time. After all, your husband is different from others."
After teasing for a while, he said with a serious expression: "Inner demons affect the state of mind, and the deficiencies in the state of mind can be made up through experience, it just takes a longer time. Yu'er, you are still young and have enough life span, so you can hone yourself slowly."
After hearing what Chen Lin said, Qin Lingyu's expression became much better.
As long as there is hope, before she formed the elixir, she only wanted to accompany Chen Lin for the rest of his life. But after she succeeded in forming the elixir, her mentality changed. She wanted to go further, just like Chen Lin once said, to see the charm of the outside world together.
Chen Lin felt relieved when he sensed the change in the other party's mentality.
But he also knew that once there was a flaw in his state of mind, it would be very difficult to repair it. He was able to do it because he had so much experience and had lived two lives, experiencing the collision of ideas from two different civilizations, so he could look at many things in a more open-minded way.
Even so, his progress in cultivation became extremely slow after the Golden Core stage, and he was able to advance to the middle Golden Core stage only with the support of elixirs.
Then there was another long period of stagnation in cultivation.
What really transformed him was the self-explosion of many powerful warriors when Dawn City was breached. That scene touched him greatly, and after more than 20 years of hard work, his state of mind was finally greatly improved, and he barely broke through to the late Jindan stage.
To this day, his state of mind has not yet reached the level of perfection and purity. If he wants to condense his Nascent Soul, he needs to continue to hone his skills. This is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to stay in the secret realm.
Of course, Chen Lin would not tell such things to avoid hurting Qin Lingyu.
People need hope to live. Only with hope can there be vitality and unlimited possibilities.
At this moment, Yun Xiu Niang suddenly said, "If you want to hone your state of mind, you can find my good sister Alan. She has an ability called Red Dust Mind, which is the best for honing one's state of mind. It is three times stronger than the Heart Demon and can fill any gaps in one's state of mind."
Chen Lin was stunned when he heard this.
He had actually met Alan twice, and the other party had also mentioned Hongchen Xinyi, but according to what the other party said, it seemed to be a dual cultivation ability, which should not be useful for women, and even if it had an effect, it would not be too good.
So Yun Xiu Niang's words were mainly meant for him to hear.
"Ah, Sister Yun, your sister has this ability. Where is she?"
Qin Lingyu was too embarrassed to ask herself, so Sun Caiyi asked for her.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiu Niang shook her head and said, "I don't know about that either, but with her strength, she will definitely not die. Your husband has had contact with her, so let him go find her when the time comes."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin coughed dryly and said, "This person is like a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. It's not easy to find him. I'd better rely on my own training first."
This was not the right occasion to talk about Alan's identity, so he immediately changed the subject and asked, "How is the preparation going, and when will the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma be used?"
If the other party can condense the Yang Soul, his strength will definitely increase greatly, which will be of great help to his actions after leaving the secret realm.
Yun Xiu Niang seemed to know what Chen Lin was thinking, and said, "I'm ready. I plan to start tomorrow, but refining the Yang Soul is a long process. I'm afraid it will take several years to complete, or even longer. And it can't be interrupted in the middle, so once I start, I won't be able to get out of the wooden hairpin again."
Chen Lin was stunned.
He hadn't expected this, but he was immediately relieved.
All good things must come to an end. He couldn't always keep the other person by his side. What's more, the other person was just practicing in seclusion and didn't really leave him.
"Then I wish our embroiderer to escape from her Yin body as soon as possible and build her Yang soul!"
Chen Lin raised his glass and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Xiu Niang can't drink, otherwise she would definitely get drunk before we say goodbye, haha!"
Yun Xiu Niang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, wait until I transform my Yang Soul, then I can try to reshape my body. Then I'll get drunk with you."
She turned her gaze towards Chen Ling'er and Chen Bao and said, "I also want to thank Ling'er for giving up the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma. As an elder, I cannot let you suffer any loss. I will give you a secret technique to inherit."
After he finished speaking, his body suddenly emanated a mysterious aura, and then he stretched out his hand and flicked it towards Chen Ling'er, and a ray of light penetrated into Chen Ling'er's brows.
Out of trust in her, Chen Ling'er did not avoid it.
"Thank you Aunt Yun!"
Chen Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then she showed a look of ecstasy and thanked Yun Xiu Niang repeatedly.
This scene made Chen Lin and others very curious. What kind of secret technique could make Chen Ling'er so happy? You know, she has never lacked resources since she was a child and has very high standards.
Yun Xiu Niang had no intention of explaining the mystery. She turned her gaze to Chen Bao and said, "I'll give you a favor as well!"
The same action was repeated, and a ray of light fell on Chen Bao's mouth, covering his mouth.
The effect was immediate. Chen Bao's big head twitched in pain for a while, then his mouth opened a few times and he actually spoke in human language.
"Oh, thank you very much, thank you very much, oh!"
After crowing, the big rooster stopped sitting on the chair and ran out of the yard, flying around the yard and shouting, "Oh, I can talk, I can talk, oh, oh..."
Chen Lin was a little amused.
Not being able to speak has always been a big knot in Lu Bao's heart. He feels that it is embarrassing for a prehistoric alien species to always make noises. No wonder he is so excited.
But he didn't expect that Yun Xiu Niang had such a method. She had never shown it before. She hid it so deeply that he didn't know how many more methods she had not yet revealed.
After doing all this, Yun Xiu Niang turned into a wisp of black smoke and went back into the wooden hairpin, while the other party's voice transmission rang in Chen Lin's mind.
"I have consumed too much soul power. I need to rest. Afterwards, you can seal the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma and my wooden hairpin in a jade box. You must stay alive and don't lose me. I don't want to see a strange face the moment I open my eyes."
Then there was no movement.
Everyone benefited. Chen Lin gave some treasures to the two little female disciples, and they shared in the joy. The family happily finished eating the spiritual food and then returned to their own rooms.
Qin Lingyu and her two daughters have just been promoted, and they still need to consolidate their cultivation. They also have to consider the Jindan period exercises and their natal magic weapons, which will keep them busy for a while.
Chen Lin did not disturb them, but called Chen Qingying to the room.
During the banquet, he noticed that the other party seemed a little depressed, and thought that he must have suffered some setback.
To be honest, the other party established her foundation earlier than Qin Lingyu and Sun Caiyi, and was much older than them. However, the two women had already successfully formed a pill, while the other party had just broken through to the late stage of foundation building, so it was inevitable that her mentality was a little unbalanced.
"Why, you're in a bad mood?"
The other party may be the only descendant of the original owner now, so Chen Lin still has to pay attention to him. Moreover, the other party has a cheerful personality and has always been very close to him. He has already regarded him as his descendant.
"No, Second Grandfather, how could I not be happy about the two ladies' promotion to Golden Core? I just miss my parents a little bit."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingying hurriedly shook her head and explained.
She was very clear about her identity. Although she was Chen Lin's great-niece, she could not compare with the two ladies, let alone Chen Ling'er. So if she wanted to continue staying in this family, she must not cause resentment.
Chen Lin's insight was extremely sharp, and he could see through the other person's thoughts at a glance, but he couldn't help with this kind of family relationship, and even had a headache.
He couldn't help but envy people like Xun Ji who practiced asceticism. How wonderful it would be to be free without the ties of family and relatives.
Thinking of this, he no longer wanted to say anything more. He took out two single bottles and handed them to the other party, saying, "Don't think too much. After all, you are also a descendant of my Chen family. Just practice with peace of mind. Here are some pills that can increase your cultivation level, and a four-pattern seven-star pill. Take it!"
After thinking for a while, he instructed: "The Four-Pattern Seven-Star Pill is too eye-catching. Remember not to mention it to anyone, lest the news leaks and bring you fatal disaster. In addition, you must practice hard and try to advance to the Golden Core Realm before the secret realm opens. Only in this way can you survive in the dangerous environment outside."
"Yes, Second Grandpa!"
Chen Qingying's hands holding the pill bottle were shaking with excitement, and he bowed to express his gratitude.
She knew that Chen Lin would not stay in the secret realm for long, and was worried that there would be no Seven-Star Pill to use after Chen Lin left. Unexpectedly, not only was one prepared for her, but it was also a four-pattern pill!
"Okay, go ahead, practice well, and don't think too much. I will continue to look for your parents' information after I get out."
Chen Lin felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he waved his hand and asked the other party to leave.
Then he called Chen Ling'er over.
