Although I feel that Tan Shiyi is not telling the truth, I cannot force my action on someone else's territory.
Chen Lin followed Princess Qinghua back to the inn.
"Your Majesty, now that the treasure has been refined, the delegation has stayed here for far longer than the scheduled period. It is time to return home."
In the lobby of the inn, Commander Xu made a proposal to Princess Qinghua.
Princess Qinghua also knew that there was no reason to stay here any longer, but she wanted to hear Chen Lin's opinion, so she glanced at Chen Lin.
This action made Xu Dutong's face turn cold, and he regarded Chen Lin as a seductive man who was disturbing the prince's mind.
Murderous intent arose in his heart.
If nothing unexpected happens, once the Crown Uncle dies of old age, the Prince of Qinghua in front of him will become the pillar of the Soul Kingdom.
The existence of the other party is related to the survival of the royal family and the peace of the Soul Kingdom. We must not let our minds be corrupted and lose the heart of a strong person.
Chen Lin sensed the murderous intent, sneered in his heart, and also put the other party on the kill list.
He admitted that the other party was a loyal subject, but the loyalty was to his enemy, and the existence of this person would definitely become a stumbling block for him to obtain the royal treasures of the Soul Kingdom.
However, there is plenty of time to deal with the other party. For now, we still have to find out the background of Tan Shiyi and find the whereabouts of the Xuanwu Shield.
He gave Princess Qinghua a look, and Princess Qinghua understood what he meant.
"Don't worry. I have just been canonized. I can take this opportunity to meet with the royal family members of Shouguo and get acquainted with them. If Xu Dutong is in a hurry, you can go back first."
Xu Dutong's expression froze. How could he, as a subject, leave if his master didn't leave
But Princess Qinghua's reasons were sufficient, and he could not refute them, so he could only bow and leave.
"My dear, you don't want to return home, but is there anything else you need to do?"
In the room, Princess Qinghua snuggled up to Chen Lin like a kitten, asking him foolishly.
Chen Lin said expressionlessly: "What happens next has nothing to do with you. Just follow what I just said and go meet the princes and nobles here first. I will inform you when I want to go back."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions in everything."
Princess Qinghua nodded obediently, then hooked her arms around Chen Lin's neck.
Refers to the mountain.
Chen Lin stood in the distance, looking at the huge mountain that looked like a finger, with a strange look on his face.
Hand Kingdom, Pointing to the Mountain, could it be that this mountain was transformed from the finger of a god
But why is there only one? Where are the other fingers? And this finger looks like a middle finger. Does it have any special meaning if it is raised
Countless associations arose in Chen Lin's mind.
However, the affairs of gods are not something that can be speculated by someone of his level, so it is useless to overthink it.
After looking for a while, he flew towards the foot of the mountain.
There are rich minerals on Zhi Mountain, so many people come here to mine. Of course, not everyone can mine here. The entire Zhi Mountain belongs to the royal family of Shou Country, and part of the area has been awarded to major families. If you want to mine, you must first obtain permission.
It’s not that Chen Lin was reluctant to pay the mountain fee, but he didn’t want to be noticed, so he bypassed the guards and flew into the mountain.
Before coming, he had already found out the production location of Purple Spirit Sand, which was concentrated somewhere around the mountainside.
This place belongs to a big family. After Chen Lin arrived at the location, he used magic to mesmerize a manager and obtained relevant information.
It turns out that the reason why the output of Zi Lingsha is small is not because there are only those ores, but in order to prevent the price from falling, the family limits the mining volume and only mines a small part every year.
He also learned that what is being mined now is only the outer periphery, and the really good purple spirit sand is deep in the mine and has not yet been mined!
This news made Chen Lin very satisfied.
With better quality purple spiritual sand, his hope of repairing the purple ring spiritual treasure is greater.
He used the earth escape technique to escape deep into the mine, first set up an isolation array to prevent the sound from being transmitted out, then took out all the puppets and began to collect them on a large scale.
Soon, a large amount of purple spirit sand was obtained, and it was of superior quality.
"Huh?"
As he continued to go deeper, Chen Lin discovered that the mountain in front of him suddenly became extremely hard, and even the Thunder Sword could not cut it.
This surprised him greatly.
Although his natal flying sword was not a magical treasure, it was extremely sharp. There was no reason why he could not dig a mountain with it.
Then he changed to several other places, and it was the same. The front was like cutting tofu, but once it reached a position parallel to the previous one, it became extremely hard and did not move at all.
Now Chen Lin became interested.
He took out another isolation talisman and activated it to prevent the energy from fluctuating too much and being unable to be blocked by the outer isolation formation. Then he held the spirit crystal in his hand, increased the output of mana, and controlled the Thunder Sword to stab it down with force!
Buzz!
A faint humming sounded.
Chen Lin immediately flew back, with shock in his eyes.
I saw lines lighting up around the place where his sword pointed, some of which were visible outside, while more of them were hidden inside the mountain.
Formation!
Although Chen Lin is not a formation master, he has a certain understanding of formations. These lines in front of him are exactly the formation patterns!
How come there is a formation here
Formations are things used by cultivators. He has been in this world for more than a year and has never seen anything related to formations.
Could it be
Suddenly, Chen Lin remembered the mysterious strong man.
This person is a cultivator, and it is possible that he was left behind by the other party.
But thinking about it, it seems unlikely.
The other party is a figure who lived thousands of years ago. No matter how powerful the formation is, the energy of the formation center should have been exhausted after so many years, unless a high-level spiritual treasure was used, or there is a spiritual vein here.
But if there was a spiritual vein, he would not be able to fail to feel it. Moreover, the spiritual energy in this interface is so thin that it is almost non-existent, so it is impossible for a spiritual vein to be born.
Could it be that the center of the formation is a high-level spiritual treasure
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
If this formation was really left by that mysterious powerful person, it is possible that a high-level spiritual treasure was used as the center of the formation. Even if it is not a high-level spiritual treasure, an ordinary spiritual treasure is still quite precious to him.
But he didn't dare to act rashly.
Because we don't know what this formation is used for. If it is used to seal off some evil things, then breaking it would be tantamount to seeking death.
Moreover, he did not have the ability to break it. Given the strength of this formation, there was only one way for him to enter, and that was to find the node of the formation and use the boundary-breaking talisman.
In the following time, Chen Lin began to study this formation, and left the task of collecting purple spirit sand to the puppet.
Because it was not yet time for mining here, there were only a few people guarding the cave entrance. There was also an isolation array that blocked the sound and energy fluctuations, so no one noticed Chen Lin's presence at all.
More than ten days passed in a flash.
Chen Lin finally explored the entire formation and found the location of the node.
But he was a little hesitant.
Judging from his superficial knowledge of formations, this formation was indeed a trap, so he didn't dare to enter rashly.
After thinking about it, he took out a set of puppets, placed the image beads, used the boundary-breaking talisman to break the node, and sent the puppets in.
However, as the formation was operating, the nodes immediately returned to their original state, making his idea of using the crow puppets to share vision fail.
I had no choice but to wait at the node.
He had already given instructions to the puppet to return to the node in an hour and follow the node back.
Time passes by little by little.
In order to prevent accidents, Chen Lin released Xiaocao.
"Master, let me go in and take a look!"
After listening to Chen Lin's description, Xiaocao immediately volunteered to share his master's worries.
Naturally, Chen Lin would not let the other party take risks. From the beginning to the end, he never treated Xiaocao as a slave. In his heart, she was like his sister and a relative.
"Don't worry, wait until the puppet comes out."
Chen Lin refused, and Xiaocao nodded obediently.
The waiting time passed very slowly, and finally an hour came. Chen Lin immediately picked up the boundary-breaking talisman and reopened the node.
Then he and Xiaocao retreated to a distance along the cave, keeping alert and vigilant.
The foundation-building puppet jumped out, with the crow puppet squatting on its shoulder.
Chen Lin waited for the nodes to be closed, and then used his spiritual sense to check several times. After confirming that there was no problem with the puppet, he stepped forward and took out the shadow bead.
But when he activated the photo stone, he frowned.
There is nothing in the photo bead!
This situation shows that there is some abnormal energy inside the formation, which interferes with the effectiveness of the image-retaining beads.
The Image Bead is a natural magic weapon. Since it is a magic weapon, it will be affected by interference effects, so the failure of the Image Bead does not mean anything. Moreover, the level of his Image Beads is relatively low, so they may fail if there is a slight abnormality in the energy.
But in this case, it would be impossible to rely on the image beads to understand the situation inside.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin did not try to enter in person. Instead, he took back all the puppets and left Zhishan with Xiaocao.
at night.
Chen Lin's figure appeared again and returned to the node of the formation.
Then he shook the space leather bag, and the figure of Princess Qinghua appeared.
"This is it. Go in and check the situation later. Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Chen Lin pointed to the location of the node and took out the boundary-breaking talisman.
Princess Qinghua nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, my dear, I will do my best to help you. As long as you are well, I will do whatever you want!"
After saying that, he followed the broken nodes of the formation and entered the formation without hesitation.
Looking at the reassembled node, Chen Lin actually felt a sense of guilt, but when he thought that if he had not been careful, he would have become a flesh puppet, the guilt disappeared instantly.
People with supernatural powers cannot use talismans, so he and Princess Qinghua still agreed to meet in one hour.
After a long wait, Chen Lin used his boundary-breaking talisman to break the node again, and then retreated to a distance and waited.
Nothing unusual happened. Princess Qinghua emerged from the node with excitement on her face.
"My dear, there is a treasure in here!"
Princess Qinghua stood firm and immediately spoke excitedly.
