After Chen Lin said that he had a daughter, he looked at Luo Qinglan's reaction.
However, the other party was not as jealous or angry as he expected, but seemed very calm.
"Does your husband already have a daughter?"
Luo Qinglan was slightly surprised.
Then she nodded and said, "That's perfect. With our cultivation level, it's very difficult to have children. I never had such an idea and was wondering if my husband would be disappointed. Since you already have one, I'm relieved."
Chen Lin finally felt relieved after hearing this.
For some reason, when facing Qin Lingyu and others, he hardly cared about their opinions, but when facing Luo Qinglan, he always felt insecure.
This might be because the other party's cultivation had always been higher than his. After all, when he first met the other party, he had already completed the foundation building stage, and then quickly advanced to the Golden Core stage, while he was just a small minion in the Qi training stage.
Therefore, he always thought that he was out of her league. Even though he knew that she had some inexplicable feelings for him because of the matter of exorcising her inner demons, he kept avoiding her.
Just when Chen Lin felt relieved and was about to praise the other party and express his attitude, Luo Qinglan spoke again.
"I will be in seclusion tomorrow, please don't disturb me. You and Master Mu should go to the trade fair together!"
Having said that, he left.
Chen Lin stood there in a daze.
Where is the promised tolerance and magnanimity
What about the understanding and recognition you promised
How can you turn against me without even giving me a chance to explain
Chen Lin sighed. He thought the other party really didn't care, but he didn't expect that it was just nice words. He still had to get angry.
Having been offended by Luo Qinglan, his face looked unhappy when he saw Ji Wuyu.
Ji Wu Yu's heart sank when he saw this, and he thought that the elixir refining had failed.
The materials they brought this time were most of their clan's reserves. If they were all used up, even if they found other powerful alchemists, they probably wouldn't be able to gather enough materials.
"This is the pill you asked for. I'll refine only one pill. If it's not enough, bring more materials!"
Without further ado, Chen Lin took out the pill bottle and threw it over.
Ji Wu Yu was shocked and quickly flew over to catch it, then opened the bottle of pills with a puzzled look on his face.
Then he showed a look of surprise and joy.
In the pill bottle, there was a dark pill emitting a strange energy. It was the Nine-Transformation Soul-Condensing Pill that their family had been longing to refine for many years but had not been able to make.
Moreover, judging from its color and the intensity of its fluctuations, it was of perfect quality. With this pill, his grandfather's injuries would be healed, and his branch's position in the family would be consolidated.
At the same time, when Ji Wu Yu saw this pill, his pride as an alchemy genius was extinguished in an instant. He finally understood what it meant that there is always someone better than you.
This Senior Chen made such a perfect elixir after only refining it for the first time, but he still had a gloomy face and looked dissatisfied. His requirements for the art of alchemy were too strict, which was beyond his reach!
"Senior, your alchemy skills are superb. I admire you very much. I wonder if you can allow me to be a registered disciple and learn the way of alchemy?"
Ji Wu Yu carefully put away the bottle of elixir and looked at Chen Lin with fanaticism.
After thinking for a while, he thought that such a request might be too rude, and immediately added: "Juniors can pay the tuition!"
Chen Lin looked at the other person in surprise. He didn't expect that this person was an alchemy fanatic.
However, he had no intention of accepting a disciple, and even if he did, he would not accept the other party because he had nothing to teach.
The other party's alchemy level is higher than his. When the two of them communicate, he will be exposed.
He shook his head decisively and said, "Don't mention this matter again. I have already given you the elixir, and you can leave now. Here is the list of items I need. You can choose the reward for refining the elixir from these!"
After saying that, Chen Lin handed a scroll to Ji Wu Yu.
Then he added, "I need everything here. If the things your family offers are worth more than the reward for alchemy, I can also exchange them with other things. I have a collection of elixirs, talismans, magical arts, and various treasures. Just let me know if you need anything."
Ji Wu Yu's expression froze instantly, and he held the paper scroll in his hand with a look of loss.
"Don't worry, senior. I will definitely strive for the highest reward for you!"
Seeing Chen Lin's firm attitude, he knew that if he continued talking, he might anger the other party, so he bowed respectfully and left.
After the other party left, Chen Lin came to Luo Qinglan's training room and took a walk around, deliberately making some noise. When he saw that the other party ignored him, he left in disappointment.
Then, he went to Mu Xingchen to ask about the trade fair.
Since the atmosphere at home is not very harmonious, he might as well go to Guangming City early. He also needs to stock up on some supplies. At the same time, he should find out how the Xing Sect's stargazing formation is prepared and whether there are any signs of the appearance of the Seven Stars celestial phenomenon.
City of Light, Teleportation Hall.
Because the time to move from land to Wuding Sea is still short, and there is a shortage of array masters and materials to build a teleportation array, each major force generally only builds one teleportation array, which is the one leading to Guangming City.
So this place became a transit point for teleportation. The teleportation hall covers a very large area and is built very luxuriously.
However, if you want to transit through this place, you need to verify your identity to prevent some evil people from sneaking into the city. Moreover, there is always a Nascent Soul cultivator in the hall all year round, so any cultivator who wants to cause trouble here must think twice.
Chen Lin and Mu Xingchen didn't need to worry. After coming out of the teleportation array, they showed the invitation letter and entered the city smoothly.
"Master Mu, there are still two days before the trade fair begins. If you have anything to do, just go ahead. I also need to go collect some things. We can contact each other by sending a communication talisman then."
After walking around for a while, Chen Lin separated from Mu Xingchen and started strolling alone.
Although the official trade fair has not yet arrived, the number of monks in the city has obviously increased, and not only high-level monks, but also many low-level monks.
After a little inquiry, I found out that these low-level monks were also here to participate in the trade fair.
Although Master Wan Meng's trade fair only invited Jindan and Yuanying level cultivators, the low-level cultivators also had trading needs, so they spontaneously held a trade fair for low-level cultivators in the market town.
In terms of scale and liveliness, it might be even bigger than their high-level monks' trade fair.
Before the day arrived, the market was already crowded with people, and various stalls were connected one after another, which reminded Chen Lin of the scene when he attended the Guyuan market that year.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years had passed, and he had transformed from a small Qi-cultivating cultivator into a Nascent Soul True Lord. It was quite emotional to think about it.
But the higher he went, the more he realized how insignificant he was. In this vast world of cultivating immortals, he was just a drop in the ocean.
Not to mention him, even the interface he was in was just an insignificant speck of dust. The powerful people blocked it as they pleased. For the remnant of a demon, they even let the people of an entire world be buried with him.
Chen Lin shook his head and sighed.
Presumably, those powerful beings from outside the realm didn't even consider these "lowly people" as human beings.
In this kind of training environment where the strong are respected, being weak is the original sin. If you want to avoid being bullied, you have to keep getting stronger.
Chen Lin raised his head and looked at the sky through the not-too-strong thunderstorm layer, but he only saw a clear blue sky. Who could have thought that under such a beautiful sky, there was such a cannibalistic world.
Most of the mortals were basically dead, and in order to survive, the weak cultivators had no choice but to abandon all their dignity and allow themselves to be bullied and driven around by the strong. Even so, not everyone had the opportunity to be driven around, and every time it happened, the independent cultivators would fight over it.
This Wuding Sea seems stable, but in fact it is full of crises. It is difficult for Qigong practitioners to survive independently without relying on sects and families.
However, due to limited resources and small territory, the sects and major forces have a limited number of disciples to accept. Unless the qualifications are good enough, the places are occupied by the relatives of powerful figures in the sect.
Therefore, although the various rules of Guangming City are very harsh, it is still a place where independent cultivators can survive, because there are no restrictions on qualifications and cultivation. As long as you can complete the tasks issued by the City Lord's Mansion and obtain task points, you can have a safe place to rest here.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Chen Lin suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of Golden Core and then walked into the market town.
Because they live on an island, most of the materials in the market are marine items, many of which Chen Lin has never seen before and he was amazed.
"Who is this?"
Chen Lin walked to a stall, picked up a round object that was shining silver, and asked.
The stall owner was a foundation-building cultivator. After sensing Chen Lin's cultivation, he immediately replied respectfully, "Reporting to the senior, this is the life scale of the second-level top-level demon beast silver mackerel. It can be used to refine a defensive spiritual weapon."
Although the explanation was very detailed, the stall owner also knew that a Jindan cultivator would not be interested in such a thing, so he immediately took out a long, inky black horn from behind.
"Senior, this is the horn of a third-level sea beast, the one-horned purple-striped turtle. It is a top-quality water-attributed material. It can be used to refine magic weapons or to grind it into powder to refine pills. I originally planned to send it to the trade fair, but if you like it, I will give it to you."
Chen Lin picked up the long horn, looked at it, then shook his head and left.
Then, he began to wander around the market, but most of the things sold at the stalls were low-level items that he had no use for, so he lost interest after wandering around for a while.
He looked around the shop again. Although the treasures were of higher quality, he still didn't see anything that caught his eye, so he decided to leave.
"What are you going to do? This is the City of Light. Are you going to rob us?"
Not long after walking, Chen Lin noticed that there were a lot of people gathered around a stall in front of him, and it seemed that there was some dispute.
If it were any other time, he wouldn't even look at this kind of thing, but now he had nothing to do, so he just walked over.
