Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 465: Scent beauty pageant

Views:

When Chen Lin saw that he had really left the woods, his face suddenly lit up with joy.

It actually came out, the second-level pass is truly extraordinary!

As he smelled the fragrant scent of flowers, a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

At the same time, I also lamented the importance of the pass level.

Magic coins and pass, these two things are more useful in the demon world than any other treasures.

Then he turned his gaze forward.

The valleys here are filled with exotic flowers and plants that are vying for beauty. It is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary creatures. He has been coveting them for a long time. If he could take them out, he would make a fortune!

However, Chen Lin did not dare to be careless. He held the white jade hand in his hand for defense, then revealed the amulet and began to observe the environment carefully.

In front of him was first an open area, and then two high mountains shrouded in clouds and mist. It was so hazy that he could not see the scenery clearly.

In the middle of the two mountains, there is a huge valley. The valley is colorful and full of beautiful flowers and plants, swaying in the breeze.

The more Chen Lin looked at them, the more he felt that these flowers and plants were extraordinary, as if each one of them had a spirit.

He couldn't help but feel excited.

These natural treasures are priceless, and if you can take them all away, you won’t have to worry about resources after escaping from the interface.

Even if there is something supernatural among them, it can make his cultivation level increase dramatically in a short period of time, which will be of great help to him in finding the interface channel.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin took a step forward, and while being vigilant and cautious about his surroundings, he slowly walked towards the valley.

As we got closer, the aroma became stronger.

Moreover, there were countless kinds of aromas, mixed together to form a wonderful smell, which made him feel happy and ecstatic.

However, Chen Lin was not intoxicated by it. Instead, he concentrated his mind to prevent any unusual changes. At the same time, he restrained his spirit and was ready to leave at any time.

Suddenly, just as he was about to reach the entrance of the valley, his eyes blurred and an exquisite pavilion appeared in his sight.

He was startled and stopped.

Then he discovered that another figure slowly appeared in the pavilion, turning from illusion into reality.

It's a woman.

She seems to be quite old, but still has charm, and both her face and figure are very good.

She was wearing gorgeous clothes, with jewels on her head and a round fan in her hand.

Both the pavilion and the woman appeared too strange, which made Chen Lin feel dangerous, and he immediately planned to drive them out.

"If you enter a field of flowers and do not smell their fragrance and choose the most beautiful ones, you will be punished by heaven."

The woman in the pavilion spoke softly.

The voice was soft and charming, but it sounded like thunder to Chen Lin's ears, causing him to immediately stop his actions of leaving this world.

From what they said, this place is the same as the Gambling Lake. Once you come in, you can't return empty-handed, otherwise you will be punished.

The rules of the demon world are still unsolved, so you can't act rashly before you figure them out.

After a slight hesitation, Chen Lin clasped his fists and said, "I am an unfamiliar person here and don't know much about the rules. Could you explain it to me?"

Judging from the other party's appearance, he seemed to be a manager like the golden toad, and he could only ask the other party whether there were other living creatures around.

“It’s very simple.”

The lady in fancy clothes was very happy and said softly, "One fragrance contest costs ten magic coins. You can take whatever you choose away. If you fail..."

"how?"

Seeing that the other party was keeping the question in suspense, Chen Lin cooperated and asked.

The woman's voice turned cold and she said, "Then we can only stay here!"

Then she added: "Of course, according to the rules, you can also use magic coins to offset the punishment, one hundred magic coins each time!"

Chen Lin's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

I didn't expect that this place is the same as Duyun Lake, with a pay-plus-penalty model, and the price is ten times higher than that of Duyun Lake.

But this actually made him feel slightly relieved.

Because he only had more than 110 magic coins on him, even if he failed, he could still escape unscathed, but the loss would be huge.

What made him curious was what kind of rare treasure required ten magic coins to choose, and he might not even get it. It was too expensive!

After thinking about it, he grabbed the amulet in front of his chest and shook it, trying to see if he could get some discounts by using Niuniu's name.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned a blind eye.

Seeing this, Chen Lin no longer hesitated and directly took out ten magic coins and handed them to the other party, saying, "Excuse me, how do I do this?"

No matter how noble and powerful Niu Niu is, she cannot know all the creatures in the demon world. He had encountered several creatures bowing down to him several times in a row, which made him doubt whether it was too coincidental and that some powerful being was controlling them.

The woman in gorgeous clothes took the magic coin and a smile immediately spread across her face.

She smiled charmingly and said, "Dear guests, please go up the steps and find any platform. Choose your target based on the scent of the flowers. Once you have chosen, use your fishing rod to catch the flowers. As for whether you can catch them and what kind of flowers you catch, it depends on your strength and luck."

Then she waved her sleeves, and a magnificent staircase leading upwards appeared next to the pavilion.

Then she reminded, "You only have one chance. It will end when the hourglass on the fishing platform runs out. If you fail the beauty pageant, you will be punished!"

After saying this, his figure gradually faded away and disappeared.

Chen Lin looked at the location of the pavilion with a look of surprise.

Can you fish with flowers

He thought he would go in and pick the fruits by himself, but if that were the case, the difficulty would increase a lot.

Moreover, the fishing rod doesn’t even have a fishing line or a fish hook, so how can one catch the flowers and plants in the valley

Chen Lin was full of doubts, but he had no chance to ask any more questions and could only walk up the stairs.

The steps were very high, but he was in projection mode now, and as light as a swallow, he quickly reached the top. Then there was a horizontal winding path. Every few steps, there was a gorgeous platform that stretched out like a fishing platform.

However, these tables are all empty. It seems that the business here is not as prosperous as that in Duyun Lake.

This made Chen Lin feel bad. No one was willing to come, which meant that the things in this place were not easy to get.

After looking for a while, he did not go too deep, but went up to the platform at the edge.

According to normal rules, the deeper you go into the valley, the higher the level of the flowers and plants will be, but they will also be more difficult to obtain.

He didn't want to challenge the difficulty, he just wanted to catch one at random and avoid punishment.

The magic coins are too important to him now. If he is fined to the point of bankruptcy, he will have no chance to buy travel passes for Qin Lingyu and the others.

Chen Lin discovered that as soon as he stepped onto the fishing platform, a flash of light appeared next to it, and then a slowly flowing hourglass appeared.

Although it is very slow, there is not much sand in the hourglass to begin with, and it seems that it will be gone in less than a cup of tea.

He did not dare to delay and immediately lengthened the fishing rod, then stood in front of the platform and looked down.

Then he frowned.

There was mist below, and I could only vaguely see the shadows of some flowers and plants, and it was impossible to distinguish them clearly.

Even if he used the power of his spiritual consciousness, it would be useless.

However, the fragrance of the flowers was not blocked, and it penetrated into the nostrils in waves, refreshing the heart.

It was indeed a beauty pageant by smell, and he was not even allowed to look. The difficulty was higher than he had expected.

Chen Lin shook his head, feeling that he might really return empty-handed this time. Not only that, but all his magic coins would be emptied out.

This demon world is full of traps. If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.

There was not much time left, so Chen Lin calmed himself down, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully distinguished the scent of flowers wafting up from below.

After smelling it for a while, he looked surprised.

It turns out that the scents of these flowers are not blended together, but are clearly separated, one by one.

Some were elegant, some were refreshing, some were strong, some were pungent, spicy, and so on. He even smelled sour, fishy, smelly and other disgusting smells.

Isn’t the pageant based on fragrance? Why are there smelly ones

Chen Lin was very puzzled, but he understood after thinking about it.

Not only humans can enter this demonic world, but also other races. The smells that he finds disgusting may smell fragrant to other kinds of creatures.

Seeing that the hourglass was half empty, Chen Lin stopped wasting time and continued to identify the taste.

At the same time, carefully look at the corresponding flowers and plants below to see if you can determine which flower or plant is emitting the smell based on the location where the smell is emitted.

Time passes by little by little.

Chen Lin's face became more and more ugly.

He found that with his ability, he had no way of determining the source of the fragrance, nor could he accurately locate any particular plant. In this case, it was impossible for him to fish at a fixed point.

Moreover, some of these floral scents carry a fierce murderous aura, and it feels like if you choose one, you might suffer backlash.

After observing for a while and still finding nothing, Chen Lin finally gave up his choice.

After taking a look at the little time left in the hourglass, he shook the fishing rod and planned to cast it out at a random spot.

But halfway through, he pulled it back.

He stood there hesitating for a while, then made up his mind and cast a strong luck spell on himself!

Failure would mean a penalty of one hundred magic coins, and he couldn't afford the gamble!

If these one hundred magic coins are gone, he doesn't know when he can get enough again. If this delays the acquisition of the pass and Qin Lingyu and the others have no chance to escape to the other world, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

What's more, he also needs magic coins to fish for lucky fish. Without lucky fish, his innate ability will become a decoration.

One hundred magic coins are enough for him to take a risk!

The Powerful Luck Technique is performed by pinching the hand to cast a spell. It requires neither magic power nor soul power. It is the application of rules, so it can also be used in the projection state.

Chen Lin was already very familiar with it. His fingers showed shadows and he changed the hand seals rapidly. Soon, a mysterious feeling descended upon him.

He no longer hesitated, and casually sensed a fainter fragrance, then swung the fishing rod out according to the approximate location.

Then he felt the fishing rod sink, exactly the same feeling as when he caught the fish at the Gambling Lake.

He was overjoyed and lifted it up with force, and a small grass emitting a bright glow was pulled onto the fishing platform!

At the same time, the sand in the hourglass has run out!
