Chen Lin slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing to do is check the fishing rod.
Although the demonic energy above was still strong, he seemed to have developed resistance and could withstand the invasion.
This made him feel relieved.
Although this scene is strange, the rules for entry have not changed. As long as you come out, you have the autonomy to enter again.
Then he turned his attention to the shrimp in his hand. The demonic energy on it was very weak and required careful sensing to detect it.
What surprised him was that the shrimp was not dead yet. It bounced weakly twice after being touched.
After a careful observation, I found that there was nothing special about it. Its body was green and its appearance was no different from that of ordinary shrimp. The only difference was that the tail fan part of the shrimp was colorful, and each small piece had a tiny plum-shaped hole.
Chen Lin took out a container, used magic to condense some water, and then put the shrimp in it.
However, the shrimp did not become energetic after encountering the water. It still looked weak and soon died.
He shook his head, put it into a jade box, affixed a sealing talisman to it, and put it into the storage bag.
After checking everything again and making sure there were no problems, he walked out of the room.
The two women were chatting outside and were a little surprised to see Chen Lin appear. They didn't expect him to come so soon.
"Did my husband go to explore the demon world?"
Whether it is practicing secret techniques or practicing in seclusion, it is impossible to come out in such a short time, Qin Lingyu immediately asked.
"Well, I got a new item from the demon world. I asked someone to test it a while ago and it was safe, so I went in to take a look myself. Unfortunately, I didn't get much."
Chen Lin did not hide anything. Both women knew that he was exploring the demon world, but he still explained it to reassure them.
Hearing Chen Lin say this, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.
But Qin Lingyu was still worried and said, "Husband, I heard that the demon world is very strange and dangerous. It is better not to explore it in the future if you can avoid it."
Chen Lin smiled warmly and said, "It's okay. I know the severity of the situation. Don't worry."
He looked outside and saw that it was already night. He looked at the two girls and said jokingly, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I'll let my husband check the results of your practice. Who's going first?"
A few days later.
Chen Lin began his retreat again.
But this time he was not practicing himself, but teaching his daughter.
He didn't plan to go to the lake scene until the rules were clear.
Anyway, the lake is so big, it’s impossible to catch all the fish in it, so there’s no need to rush.
And we don't know what the fish and shrimp in there are used for. If they just taste good, there is no point in taking such a big risk and wasting a magic coin.
However, no one knew what the golden box-shaped object that the old man finally caught was. It could make the other party laugh so happily, so it must be something extraordinary.
Is it possible to fish the treasure box out of the lake
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more he felt that the lake was unusual. It looked ordinary, but in fact it was extremely mysterious.
He planned to go to the underground space where He Changhong died after leaving this secret realm. If he could find some information about the lake scene, it would be much safer to explore further.
As for hiring low-level monks at a large sum of money, it would not make much sense.
The main reason was that he couldn't leave the forest without the pass, and he didn't dare to give the pass to the hired people. In case someone died in there, the pass would be gone, and it would become difficult for him to explore the demon world again.
Even after entering Niu Niu’s scarecrow house scene, I couldn’t even get out of the yard, which was absolutely unbearable.
Therefore, if you want to continue hiring people to explore, you have to get another pass.
Chen Lin glanced at his daughter who was putting materials into the alchemy furnace, and touched the amulet on his chest.
It seemed that an ordinary road pass only required ten magic coins, and Niu Niu knew how to buy it, but he didn't know what went wrong with the other party, and he couldn't get in touch with him for so many years, which made him worried and helpless.
He activated the amulet again, but still felt that there was a barrier separating him from the scarecrow hut, and he could not project his message in.
He could only sigh silently.
"Dad, look, I've figured it out!"
Chen Ling'er's voice was filled with joy, attracting Chen Lin's attention.
Sure enough, the aroma of medicine wafted out of the alchemy furnace, and a round pill lay there.
He took the pill with a wave of his hand, checked it, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Not bad, although only one pill is made, the quality is not bad. It can be regarded as a step into the threshold of an alchemist. However, there is still a long way to go. Keep up the good work!"
Although he said this, Chen Lin was very surprised in his heart.
His daughter's talent was truly extraordinary. She had just started making alchemy, but she had already managed to refine the Peiyuan Pill. She had only failed three times, and succeeded on the fourth try. Her comprehension was much better than his.
Even if the other party is a foundation-building cultivator with a high starting point, he is still extraordinary.
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Chen Ling'er's excitement suddenly disappeared, and she said a little aggrievedly: "Dad, didn't you say that if I refine the elixir, you would let me rest for a few days?"
Immediately, she covered her head and said, "Oh, why does my head suddenly hurt? Is it because I'm overworked?"
Chen Lin's face darkened.
I thought to myself, how could you, a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, be so tired after refining a few batches of pills
But he did not expose it, and said, "Go ahead, but don't run around, be careful."
"I know, Dad!"
After getting the approval, Chen Ling'er's headache got better immediately and she ran out in a flash.
Chen Lin finally realized what helplessness meant, and he felt his head starting to hurt.
His daughter's personality is such that she is still immature at the age of 26 or 27. It's okay in the secret realm, but how can he feel at ease if she is outside
Moreover, the other party is obviously extremely talented and comes from a wealthy family, but he does not know how to cherish it. If he had the other party's conditions, he would probably have become a Nascent Soul cultivator now.
"Forget it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We can't be too strict with them. Otherwise, they will develop a rebellious mentality, which is even worse."
Chen Lin comforted himself.
Everyone has his or her own way of cultivation. There is no best one, only the most suitable one. His philosophy may not be suitable for his daughter.
Although that is what we said, we still need to take care of it, at least to change the other party's reckless temper.
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the amulet in front of him with surprise.
Then he released his spiritual sense to find Qin Lingyu's location, transmitted a few words to the other party, sent out two sets of formation flags, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Scarecrow yard.
Chen Lin looked at Niu Niu in front of him in surprise.
The other party has grown up a lot!
It is normal for a little girl to grow up, but it is unbelievable that the other party is a scarecrow and can still grow up.
The aura of the other party also became more obscure, and his strength seemed to be much stronger than before.
"Niuniu, you've changed so much. I haven't been able to contact you for so many years. Are you okay?"
Chen Lin asked with concern.
Niuniu smiled slightly, pulled the sides of her skirt, turned around gracefully, and said, "How about me, uncle, am I pretty now?"
"Beautiful, of course she is beautiful. Niuniu has always been beautiful, but now she is even more beautiful. Uncle is fascinated by her."
Feeling that the other party was in a good mood, Chen Lin felt relieved and made a joke.
The other person's eyes suddenly turned into crescent shapes as she smiled, and she said beautifully, "Really? I think it's just average."
Chen Lin smiled secretly in his heart. It was indeed a woman's nature to love beauty, and even the scarecrow was no exception.
After finishing her act, Niuniu said proudly, "This time, I broke another layer of the seal during my retreat, so I can go play in more distant places."
Chen Lin suddenly realized.
It turns out that the other party could not be contacted for such a long time because he was in seclusion to break the seal.
But according to the other party, only one layer was broken, which means there are still unknown how many layers of seal are left. If she grows a little bit bigger after each layer is removed, then will she become a grown-up girl after all the seals are removed
And now that the opponent is so powerful, how powerful should the complete state be!
It’s terrifying just to think about it. No wonder even the mysterious traveling merchant is afraid of him.
"Hey, uncle, your soul is about to advance. How did you do it? Is it because of the one-armed detour last time?"
The little girl suddenly spoke, looking at Chen Lin's projection curiously.
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the other party was referring to the silver light particles that appeared in his soul.
Could it be that this situation is the advancement of the soul
Thinking of this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Niuniu, can you see that I did use a kind of elixir called Soul Refining Pill, and silver light particles appeared in my soul. I don't know what it is used for, but the power increases dramatically when I use the soul secret technique. Niuniu, if you know, can you tell me in detail?"
Such an opportunity cannot be missed, Chen Lin immediately asked.
Niuniu said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. Souls can also be advanced, and there are many ways to show it. Your transformation into silver is one of them. However, it is still in the qualitative change stage. If you want to complete the advancement, you need to turn your entire soul into silver."
"What are the benefits of advancement?" Chen Lin asked.
"There are so many benefits." Niuniu pinched her fingers and said, "For example, the spiritual consciousness becomes stronger, ordinary souls can be suppressed, the power of soul-related secret arts is increased, and after the physical body is destroyed, you can rely on the soul to continue to survive, etc."
She paused for a moment and said excitedly, "The most important thing is, uncle, if your soul advances successfully, you won't have to worry about the rejection and assimilation of the demonic aura. Whether it's a projection or a real body, you don't need the Immortal Parasite Stone. You can resist the invasion of the demonic aura with the power of your soul. Then you can go out and play with Niuniu!"
"Yeah?"
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
If this is the case, then the effect will be very significant, and we must hurry up to find the one-armed way around.
"Of course!"
Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "Uncle, you should feel it now. Although it is still in the transformation stage, its resistance to demonic energy should have increased a lot, and it will not be suppressed so severely when performing soul secrets here."
“Once you have fully advanced, you will be able to completely resist the invasion of demonic energy. If you encounter items from the demonic world in your interface, you will not be pulled into the demonic world unless you are willing!
