Chen Lin didn't say anything.
He didn't believe everything He Shouchu said.
When using items from the demon world for projection, only the aura on the items is used. There is no way to verify whether they have been used or not. Moreover, most of the scenes in the demon world are chaotic and disordered, so even if you project them in to investigate, you cannot be sure.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not want this thing. It was wishful thinking for the other party to exchange it for the Seven Star Pill. However, now he urgently needs the Soul Refining Pill, so he has some thoughts of continuing to explore the Demon World and trying to meet that traveling merchant again.
But he was also worried that when he met the other party, he would come to him to settle the score for the theft of his dribble ball, which made him very conflicted.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin said, "You are right. I explored the Demon Realm several times a long time ago, but it was also very dangerous and I almost lost my life. I haven't tried it again for decades."
After a pause, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Since you know about the Demon Realm, you must have entered it before. Can you tell me about the process?"
You have to be cautious when exploring the demon world, but the more information you collect, the better.
He Shouchu shook his head and said, "To be honest with you, Senior Chen, although I know some information about the Demon Realm, I have never been there."
Chen Lin glanced at the other person and said, "Really? Where did you get this information from? Is there anyone around you who has explored the demon world?"
This time He Shouchu nodded and said, "Yes, when I was traveling before the catastrophe, I met a cultivator named Yunhai Shangren. It was from him that I learned about the existence of the Demon Realm. He also showed me items from the Demon Realm and invited me to explore the Demon Realm together, but out of caution I didn't dare to agree."
A flash of surprise passed through Chen Lin's eyes.
I didn't expect to hear the name Master Yunhai again after so many years. I don't know if this person has broken through to the golden elixir stage. If not, according to his age, he should have died by now.
However, this person is extremely mysterious and it shouldn't be so easy for him to die.
He Shouchu didn't notice the change in Chen Lin's expression, and continued, "Although I didn't dare to rashly agree to explore the Demon Realm at that time, I was very curious about its existence. Later, I also inquired about the information about this world from many sources and learned a little bit. I knew that the interface was extremely dangerous and it was not something that a small foundation-building cultivator like me could set foot in, so I gave up the idea of exploring it."
Chen Lin asked, "Where did you get this item? Have you ever opened the box and touched the contents?"
When asked this question, Chen Lin's eyes suddenly lit up and released a strange aura.
After being attacked by the aura, He Shouchu's eyes suddenly became dull, and he blurted out: "After all the cultivators gathered in the base camp, I was ordered to go to the wilderness to do a mission, and I accidentally discovered a secret underground space. I found it there."
After a pause, he continued, "The box has been opened before, but it was not opened by me. There was another cultivator who discovered the underground space with me. He found the box first and opened it directly. I was a little far away, but I could still sense the aura of the demon world in the box. I was so scared that I quickly moved away and asked him to seal the box. He did so, but he passed out after the box was sealed and never woke up again."
He Shouchu answered the questions mechanically, then his body trembled and he came to himself, with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.
Chen Lin did not hide anything and said directly: "The matter of the demon world is of great importance. In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, I cast some small spiritual spells. I hope you don't mind."
He Shouchu laughed dryly and said respectfully, "As you should, as you should."
But he sighed helplessly in his heart. What could he do even if he was surprised? Could he turn against me
However, I have long heard that Elder Chen from the Silver Immortal City is a low-key person who acts extremely cautiously. Today I have witnessed this.
Chen Lin fell into deep thought.
The scenes in the demon world are varied and of all types, and the degree of danger varies greatly.
In fact, among all the scenes he experienced, Niu Niu's scarecrow hut was the most dangerous. The reason was that as long as one came into contact with objects with the aura of her hut, he would be pulled into it. Even a Yuanying Zhenjun would be unable to resist. Moreover, the tasks inside had a time limit. If they were not completed within the specified time, they would turn into a scarecrow.
But later on, when we went to the Demon-Suppressing Temple scene, as long as we resisted, we would not be pulled in. There were no designated tasks, and no time limit. Even if we were excluded from the demon world, there would be no harm.
The danger is mainly within the scene, and you'll be fine as long as you don't die in the scene.
As for the well later, it was not dangerous at all. Of course, it might also be because of the frog that ran out.
Thinking of the frog, Chen Lin thought of the Silver Fairy again. He was very worried that the other party's disappearance was related to the frog. The willow jar was kept by the other party. If the frog suddenly ran out, it was not impossible to catch the other party off guard.
He felt a little regretful. He should have asked his master to destroy the willow jar or throw it into some remote place.
I was a little distracted.
Chen Lin pulled his thoughts back and looked at He Shouchu and said, "So you don't actually know what's in the box?"
He Shouchu was a little embarrassed and said, "To answer your question, senior, I really didn't dare to open the box again, so I only know that there are items from the demon world inside, but I don't know what they are specifically."
Chen Lin hesitated.
The other party has never come into contact with it personally, and the only person who has come into contact with it has died. According to the other party's description, he was unable to come out of the demon world, which shows that the scene connected to this thing is quite dangerous.
"What is the cultivation level of your companion?"
Chen Lin asked again.
"To reply, Senior, we were both in the middle stage of foundation building at that time, and the other party is the offspring of Jindan Zhenren, and his strength is much higher than mine."
He Shouchu didn't dare to hide anything for fear of angering Chen Lin. Not only would he not get what he wanted, he might even be killed.
Chen Lin nodded and said, "Tell me in detail about the underground space where you got this item. Besides this box, what else did you get?"
There are many kinds of dangers in the demon world, and not all of them are fatal. Sometimes, the pass and the immortal stone can avoid many dangers. Moreover, his soul has mutated and his spiritual power has increased dramatically. His ability to survive in the demon world is not comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, so he is still inclined to accept this item.
As for whether to explore in the future and how to explore, we can study it slowly.
One does not have to go exploring in person, one can also instruct others. His main need is to get around with one arm, which is something no one can use, so he does not have to worry about others embezzling money.
Of course, such an item from the demon world with unknown purpose is not even as valuable as his Buddhist beads. If the other party wants to exchange it for the Seven Star Pill, it is not enough, not even a one-marked one, unless the other party takes out some treasures that he likes.
Hearing Chen Lin's question, He Shouchu was not surprised and took out a token as prepared.
"Reporting to the senior, although the underground space is not small, there is nothing inside. Apart from this box, there is only a skeleton, but no storage bag was found. Only this token was found next to the skeleton."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin wrapped the token in his magic power and took it in his hand. He found that it was just an ordinary token and there was nothing unusual about it.
But of course after seeing the words on the token clearly, he suddenly showed a look of doubt.
One side of the token is engraved with the words "Black Devil", while the other side is engraved with the words "He Changhong".
Below the black demon, there is another pattern.
The name He Changhong caught his attention, not because the surname was the same as He Shouchu in front of him, but because he knew this person.
The compiler of the booklet on Qiyun Alchemy that he got from Yu Yuehai was none other than He Changhong, an elder of the Black Magic Sect, and the word "Black Magic" happened to be also on his token.
In other words, this token is the elder token of the Black Demon Sect, and that dried bone is the founder of the Qiyun Alchemy technique that he has always admired!
The Qiyun Alchemy Technique was of great help to him. Without this alchemy technique, let alone his current achievements, it is hard to say whether he could survive.
But what made him very depressed was that he had also tried to modify the pill formula according to the other party's method, but he had never succeeded once, and he didn't know what the trick was.
"Really there is nothing else to gain?"
Chen Lin used his spiritual skills again, causing He Shouchu to speak the truth.
"Replying to Senior, I really don't have it. I don't know if someone got there first or if it was hidden. We couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked. And we went with the team at that time, so we couldn't delay for too long. After we returned to the city, it was closed, and then we came here, and we never had the chance to explore again."
Then, Chen Lin asked for some more detailed information, but when he saw that the other party could match what he had said before and after, he stopped asking any more questions.
"I've accepted the items, but I still need to inspect them first. Let's open the box together!"
Although magic was used when questioning, it cannot be trusted absolutely. We have to make sure that the contents of the box are really as the other party said, so that we will not be directly pulled into the demon world if we stand far away.
He Shouchu's face changed, and he was about to refuse when he saw Chen Lin take out a puppet and said to him, "How far were you from the box at the beginning?"
Seeing this, He Shouchu held back his refusal and replied nervously, "Senior, it's about five meters."
Chen Lin's expression relaxed.
Only five meters away is a safe distance, and this item from the demonic world is not too evil.
To be on the safe side, he took the box and left the yard with the other party, came to a secluded place, and put the box on the ground.
The two of them retreated a full ten feet before letting the puppet remove the sealing symbol on the box and then opened the lid.
A strong aura of the demonic world emanated from it. Chen Lin glanced at it through the vision of the crow puppet and was immediately shocked. He then asked the puppet to close the lid again.
The aura of the demon world also dissipated.
