The puppet was carrying the Immortal Stone and was not contaminated by any evil spirit.
But to be on the safe side, Chen Lin still let the puppet use the earth escape talisman to escape underground and hide, and then retrieve it after making sure there was no danger.
The two returned to their residence.
After some communication, Chen Lin agreed to trade with the other party using the Seven Star Pill, but only the one with two lines.
In addition to the things in the box, he also asked He Shouchu to draw a map of the location of the underground space and attached some other treasures.
In fact, he has no use for the things that the Foundation Establishment cultivators can produce, but he must have them, so that the value of the Seven Star Pill can be reflected, and it will be easier to ask for a price if someone comes to trade.
However, he did not suffer any loss in this transaction, because in addition to a peculiarly shaped black object, the box also contained more than ten magic coins!
He was not mistaken, it was definitely magic coin.
For those who are keen on exploring the demon world, the value of one magic coin can be equal to that of a double-patterned seven-star pill, let alone more than a dozen of them. That's why he immediately asked the puppet to cover the box to prevent the other party from going back on his word.
Of course, at this point, even if the other party wants to regret it, it’s too late.
really.
In the next few days, wave after wave of cultivators came, all wanting to trade the Seven Star Pill.
Chen Lin did not turn these people away.
In order to avoid being disturbed in the future, he simply held a small trade fair, took out some Foundation Establishment Pills, two Double-Pattern Seven-Star Pills, and other treasures, and traded them in the form of an auction.
It was quite rewarding.
In the following time, he began to study the demonic items in the box.
In a simple cave in a corner of the secret realm, Chen Lin looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said expressionlessly: "You have to think it over carefully. Once you agree to my request, you will not regret it. Otherwise, I will not show mercy."
The middle-aged man said respectfully without any hesitation: "Don't worry, senior, I have made up my mind and will never regret it!"
"Okay, let's get started!"
Chen Lin took out a pill bottle and threw it to the other party.
The middle-aged man took it excitedly, bowed to Chen Linshen, then opened the pill bottle, poured out a pill and swallowed it.
Then he started practicing in front of Chen Lin.
Chen Lin observed the other person quietly.
This is the explorer he was looking for, named Zhao Qingquan.
The other party originally had good aptitude, but after entering the secret realm, he was injured in a fight with others and it took him more than ten years to recover. As a result, he missed the best period for foundation building, causing his cultivation to be stuck at the stage of perfect Qi training.
However, the resources in the secret realm are scarce now, and the other party has no background and cannot offer treasures in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Building the foundation has become a luxury.
So when he approached the other party and claimed that as long as the other party helped him explore the demon world, he could help the other party build the foundation in advance, the other party decisively agreed.
After using three foundation-building pills in succession, Zhao Qingquan's aura began to change and rise steadily.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, stood up a little excitedly and said: "I am a dull young man, and I have consumed a lot of foundation-building pills. Please forgive me, senior."
He has always been very conceited, thinking that he was a man of talent who was not appreciated. Only one foundation-building pill would be enough, but he did not expect to use three. If he had not made a deal with Senior Chen, he would probably never have the possibility of building a foundation.
Chen Lin said expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter. As long as you work sincerely for me, I won't treat you unfairly."
Zhao Qingquan immediately said in a serious tone: "Senior Chen has given me a new life. I, Zhao Qingquan, will never be ungrateful. I will do my best for you!"
Chen Lin nodded, "Okay, then you should stabilize your cultivation first. Here is a secret technique of spiritual awareness. You should practice it well. Let me know when you are ready."
A few days later.
Zhao Qingquan stood in front of a table with a nervous look on his face. On the table was a box containing items from the demonic world.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still found it difficult to remain calm in the face of unknown dangers.
After taking a look at Chen Lin who was standing several feet away, he gritted his teeth, peeled off the talisman on the box, and then opened the lid.
A strange smell emanated, which immediately made Zhao Qingquan drowsy.
But he still followed Chen Lin's previous instructions and quickly closed the box and put the talisman back on.
Just as he finished, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
Chen Lin slowly retreated, leaving only a crow puppet in the room.
When he arrived in another room, he began to observe Zhao Qingquan's movements through the puppet's vision, and at the same time remembered the last time he hired people to explore the Thunder God Tribe.
That time, countless people died and a large amount of Foundation Establishment Pills were wasted before they succeeded. I hope it won’t be so tragic this time.
Moreover, there are not so many monks in this secret realm for him to use. No one who is not in a desperate situation will accept such a dangerous exploration mission.
Time passes by little by little.
Chen Lin was not in a hurry. He gave Zhao Qingquan a fairy stone. If the other party used it, he might stay in it longer.
But as time went on, he began to feel anxious.
This item from the demon world belongs to He Changhong, and the recipe for the Soul Refining Pill is in the other party's Qiyun Alchemy Manual. It is possible that there are Eight-Armed Detours or substitutes in the connected scene, which is very important to him.
Otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to explore.
suddenly.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
In the vision of the crow puppet, Zhao Qingquan's body moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
Chen Lin did not go over immediately, but became alert, staring at the other party without blinking to prevent any unusual changes.
It wasn't until the other party stood up, checked his body, and then made a gesture to the crow puppet's eyes that he felt everything was fine that he relaxed slightly.
He had already signed a soul contract with the other party in advance, and the other party would not deceive him.
Even so, after entering the room, Chen Lin used his spiritual sense to carefully check the other person's body again before he was completely relieved.
Then a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
I didn’t expect it to succeed at the first try!
This shows that the danger inside is not high. It would be even more perfect if there was information about the Eight-Armed Parallel series of treasures.
"How is it, what's going on inside?"
Chen Lin waited for the other party to recover, then immediately asked.
Zhao Qingquan looked puzzled and said, "Senior, it seems to be a small secret place inside, with mountains, trees and a large lake. The scenery is very beautiful."
Chen Lin looked surprised.
All the demonic scenes he had come into contact with were lifeless, but this place actually had mountains and water
Zhao Qingquan continued, "After I entered, I appeared in a small forest on the shore of the lake, but I couldn't get out of the forest no matter what. It was as if there was an invisible thing blocking it, so it took a little longer."
Finally, he bowed and said, "I am useless. I did not get the information you wanted, and the energy in the stone has been used up. Please punish me, senior!"
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "No, you've done very well. Let's stop here for now. If I need you in the future, I'll come back to you. But you must remember not to spread the news between us. Otherwise, if the blood contract is violated, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Zhao Qingquan's expression froze, and he quickly responded, "Don't worry, senior. I will keep my mouth shut."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
He didn't return to his residence until he was relieved when he saw that Chen Lin really didn't catch up with him to kill him.
Then he began to feel the tremendous magical power of the foundation-building period in his body and was extremely excited.
Then, he recalled the scene in the demon world, and his mind was full of thoughts, wondering what the mystery of that place was and what Senior Chen wanted.
He immediately shook his head and suppressed his curiosity. If he wanted to live longer, it was better not to know too much.
In the next two days, Chen Lin found two more cultivators, gave them certain benefits, and allowed them to enter the demon world to conduct experiments.
Finally, it was confirmed that there was no danger inside, and the situations experienced by several people were the same.
As for being unable to leave the woods, that was probably because there was no guide and the range of movement had been limited.
So he decided to explore it himself.
Putting the Immortal Stone on his body, Chen Lin wrapped his palm with magic power, opened the box, and revealed the items inside.
He took out a jade box and picked out all the magic coins inside. There were fifteen in total. No one knew how Elder He from the Black Magic Sect got them, but he seemed to be a senior explorer of the demon world.
If this is the case, then the other party must still have the Immortal Stone and the Pass on his person, which should be placed in a storage bag or hidden in some hidden place.
He decided that after leaving the secret realm, he would go to the underground space that He Shouchu mentioned if he had the chance.
After looking around, Chen Lin sealed the box again and left this simple cave.
A few more days passed.
Qin Lingyu and Sun Caiyi both consolidated their realms and came out of retreat one after another.
Chen Lin locked himself in the room, set up several layers of defense formations, and told the two women to guard him and never enter the room without his call.
The devil world.
The scene changed and Chen Lin appeared in a small forest.
Through the gaps between the trees, you can see a sparkling lake not far away on one side. The breeze blows, bringing with it a faint mist, which is extremely refreshing.
If it weren't for the familiar aura of the demon world, Chen Lin would even doubt whether this was the demon world at all.
He released his spiritual sense to sense the situation but found nothing unusual, then he walked towards the lake.
The forest was not big, and he soon reached the edge. It seemed as if an invisible barrier appeared, but he passed through it easily.
Just as he thought, the boundary of the forest scene could be crossed with the help of a guide.
After leaving the woods, the view suddenly opened up and the entire lake was in sight, as well as the rolling mountains in the distance.
Chen Lin was secretly amazed.
This place is so huge!
Moreover, there are mountains and rivers, so there must be a lot of treasures. I wonder if his guide can support him in exploring all the places.
However, he only came here to understand the situation and had no intention of large-scale exploration. Such a large scene could not be free of danger. If he really wanted to explore, he would have to make long-term plans.
Chen Lin didn't even dare to get too close to the edge of the lake, for fear that some water monster would suddenly jump out.
After looking for a while, he decided to leave the lake and look to the other side of the woods.
But before he could move, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Young man, do you also like fishing? How was your catch today?"
