In the underground space near Blackhorn City.
Chen Lin's figure appeared in the teleportation array. He looked around and then put away the array plate and puppet.
He planned to abandon this place and choose another place to place the formation.
The two times he encountered the Soul-Devouring Buddha were both around Black Horn City. He seriously suspected that this thing was related to the Demon-Suppressing Temple, so he didn't plan to come to this place again, at least not before he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
After using the earth escape technique to escape for a distance underground, Chen Lin returned to the ground and flew towards the wilderness.
At this moment, he couldn't help but envy Sun Caiyi and his daughter's earth spirit bodies. Such spirit bodies are extremely friendly to the earth attribute and can move underground without restrictions. Moreover, their perception ability underground is the same as that outside, or even better.
The Sun family of Houtu City were willing to give Sun Caiyi to her because they were really desperate. He was somewhat reluctant at that time and felt it was a trouble, but now he has to thank them, otherwise how could they have such a talented daughter.
Unfortunately, the Sun family was also destroyed in the war, and I don’t know how many people survived.
As I hurried on my way, thinking about my problems, many familiar faces appeared in my mind one by one.
But most of these people have died, and some are missing, especially the Silver Fairy, who has not been heard from since, which makes him feel heavy-hearted.
"well!"
Chen Lin sighed and put away his messy thoughts.
The most urgent task is to work hard to condense the Nascent Soul, and other things have to be put aside for the time being.
I originally thought that there would be materials for refining soul-refining pills in the lake scene of the demon world, but there weren't. Maybe there were, but he didn't have the ability to get them. After all, the other three sides of the forest had not been explored, and the fortune treasure chest in the gambling lake had never been fished out.
But no matter what, the Soul Refining Pill cannot be refined for the time being. If one wants to cross the great crack in the Ten Thousand Souls Ridge and go to the southern world of immortal cultivation, he still has to rely on improving his cultivation.
A few months later.
After walking and stopping along the way, Chen Lin finally arrived at the edge of the wilderness.
There aren't many monsters in the wilderness nowadays, but they are everywhere in the underworld, which is more dangerous than before.
He moved forward cautiously according to the map drawn by He Shouchu.
The closer he got to the Wanhun Ridge, the denser the Yin Realm became. In the end, Chen Lin couldn't even fly high in the sky and could only move forward close to the ground.
Even so, there were several times when he was at a dead end and had to force his way into the underworld and pass through it.
However, the magic powers he mastered were very effective against dark things. Although he encountered some troubles, he finally arrived safely at the place indicated by the map.
This is a continuous mountain range, and the entrance to the underground space is located in the gap between the fifth and sixth mountains in the east.
After some searching, Chen Lin finally found the location, a huge cave.
The entrance is not inside the cave, but in a rock crevice next to the cave.
According to He Shouchu, their team was resting in the cave, and he and his companion went out for a walk. They discovered a delicious monster, a big-eared rabbit, so they went to catch it. The rabbit happened to crawl into the gap at the entrance, and after they chased it in, they discovered the underground space.
I can only say that everything is a matter of chance.
After confirming again, Chen Lin took out a crow puppet and prepared to control it to explore.
It was an unknown place, and he couldn't completely trust He Shouchu's words, so he couldn't just rush in rashly.
"Um?"
As soon as he took out the crow puppet, he felt a weak energy fluctuation. He immediately cast a concealing spell on himself, then dodged and hid in a hidden place.
After a while, two figures emerged from the cracks in the rocks, and judging by their clothes, they were women.
Chen Lin frowned in the distance. The crack from which the two men came out was the one leading to the underground space!
He couldn't be sure whether it was a coincidence or the other party came here to explore the underground space, but He Changhong's relics would be of great use to him. Although he couldn't be sure whether they existed or were obtained by these two people, he had to find out clearly.
At this moment, the two figures looked around and turned their faces towards Chen Lin.
Chen Lin suddenly looked surprised and doubtful.
"Is it them?"
After some identification, he confirmed that he knew these two women. They were actually old acquaintances from Kaiyuan City, Ye Jingyun and Xu Ruolan!
However, both of them have become old now, without the youthful vitality they once had, and their cultivation has not yet reached the level of Golden Elixir. A calculation shows that their lifespans are coming to an end.
Although Chen Lin was surprised to see these two women here, it was reasonable when he thought about it.
Ye Jingyun and Yu Yuehai are both from the Black Demon Sect, and He Changhong is also from the Black Demon Sect. Perhaps He Changhong left behind something like a suicide note before coming here, so the other party found this place.
"Sister Jingyun, where are we going now?"
Xu Ruolan looked at Ye Jingyun, who looked disappointed, and asked.
Ye Jingyun smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that after all the hard work to find this place, Elder He's relics were taken away by someone else first. We wasted all these years in vain. If we had known this, we might as well not have followed the support team to this northern cultivation world!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xu Ruolan and said, "Qing Ning, I originally promised you that I would share the opportunity to find the Golden Core with you. Now it seems that neither you nor I have the chance to achieve the Golden Core. You won't blame me, right?"
Xu Ruolan smiled calmly and said indifferently: "If it weren't for Sister Jingyun's help, I wouldn't be able to leave Kaiyuan City alive, nor would I be able to successfully build my foundation. Living for so many more years is already worth it."
At this point, she sighed and said, "I don't care. You are an abandoned girl of a family. It's just a waste of your great talent, Sister Jingyun. If you could get the Yin-Yang Twin Pills when you were in Danding City, your physical problems would be solved and you would have become a Golden Pill True Person long ago. I really don't know what Chen Lin was thinking. You obviously did him a favor, but he repaid you with hatred."
Chen Lin, who was far away, frowned when he heard this.
Did Ye Jingyun do me a favor
There must be a grudge!
The other party and her lover He Huahai made me feel extremely happy and even asked me to worship her as my master. If I had not endured the humiliation and had not been a little angry, I would have fought to the death and I would have died at the hands of the other party or Yu Yuehai.
At this time, Ye Jingyun's voice sounded again.
"It's not a matter of gratitude or indebtedness. It's all for self-protection. I'm lending you the sword technique to him in the hope that he can eliminate the poisonous insect that Yu Yuehai has planted on him, so that he will have no psychological burden and dare to resist Yu Yuehai's sneak attack at the critical moment."
"The facts prove that my approach is correct. Otherwise, if there is no way to deal with the poisonous insect, the other party may not have given Yu Yuehai a fatal blow at the last moment. But I didn't expect that the other party would secretly come up with something so powerful!"
"This person is also a man of extraordinary scheming and methods, and his ability to endure is first-rate. He is several dozen years old, but he called me "Master" all the time without blushing or beating his heart. No wonder he can thrive in this northern cultivation world."
Chen Lin's eyes flashed.
It turned out that the nameless sword technique was actually taught to him by Ye Jingyun at Xu Ruolan's request. He didn't expect that this sword technique not only helped him get rid of the poisonous insects, but also saved his life in the ghost ship's den. It was a great help to him.
But as the other party said, everyone is doing it for themselves, so there is no question of who is helping whom.
Otherwise, if he had used the PL-4 to blow Yue Hai to death, it would have been considered as saving the other person's life.
Chen Lin did not go out, but continued to eavesdrop, wanting to confirm whether the two had found anything in the underground space, and also wanted to hear if there were any other secrets about Kaiyuan City.
But the two did not continue the topic. Xu Ruolan said, "Sister Jingyun, we didn't find the luck item mentioned in Elder He's suicide note. Even if we mastered the method to change luck, it would be useless. Why don't we go to the Holy Temple or Yinshen Sect?"
Ye Jingyun nodded: "Alright, time is running out anyway, let's give it a try, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
When Chen Lin heard this, he knew that the two women were going to make one last fight.
During the two years or so that he was hiding in the Yunding Secret Realm, considerable changes had taken place outside.
First, an organization called the Temple surfaced.
He had heard of this organization before, but he didn't know much about it and it had always been hiding in the dark.
This time, with great fanfare, there were actually several Nascent Soul cultivators and dozens of Golden Core cultivators.
This kind of strength far exceeds that of any immortal city in the past. No one knows why it has been hidden in the dark, and no one knows why it suddenly appeared at this time.
Moreover, after coming out this time, he immediately occupied a former immortal city as his base, began to recruit soldiers, and gathered a large number of cultivators under his command. For a time, he was very powerful.
According to legend, this force also possesses a method that can allow cultivators to quickly form a golden elixir, but it has many disadvantages, and one also has to sign some kind of contract with the Temple. In short, it is not the right way.
The so-called Yin Shen Sect is a sect composed of Yin Ji or Yin Dan monks, and it is quite famous. Because of its unique environment, the sect has a large number of monks.
He also heard that this sect possessed a method for Yin Dan cultivators to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but it did not involve condensing a Nascent Soul, but rather creating a Yin spirit, which was a unorthodox method.
But no matter what, as long as one is promoted successfully, one can have the same lifespan as a normal monk. This is enough to drive those who have no hope of promotion crazy.
In addition to these two forces, there is another force composed of normal practitioners, called the Tiandao League. Its members are all survivors from major immortal cities, as well as some cultivators who have walked out of secret realms because of resource depletion.
The three forces have formed a three-way balance of power. Currently, the Tiandao Alliance has the greatest power, but the Temple and the Yinshen Sect are developing rapidly. It is hard to say who will be stronger in the future.
While thinking, I saw the two women stopped talking and prepared to leave.
Chen Lin flashed and stood in front of the two of them!
