When the Lianxu cultivator made his move, Chen Lin knew that he had no ability to resist, so he just waited obediently by the side.
But he wasn't too worried.
Manager Huang's soul has not dissipated, and the scroll is still sealed on the ground. When the time comes, the whole story will be revealed. No one can know his power of destiny, so he cannot be blamed.
Even if these people were unreasonable and killed him without any reason, he still had a backup plan, which was the resurrection scroll.
He did not bring the resurrection scroll with him. Before coming here, he was asked to put it in a safe place. If he died here, his soul could be resurrected in the scroll.
Of course, this is the worst outcome, and we won't go that far unless we reach a dead end.
Seeing that Chen Lin had no intention of running away, the old man ignored him and turned his attention back to the little girl.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, can you show the person to me?"
His cultivation was one major realm higher than the other party's, but at this moment, he could only lower his posture.
After all, the ancestor of the Ye family is a powerful person in the realm of perfect refining emptiness, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings. If this matter is not handled properly, their Black Tower City may be in big trouble.
Although this matter has nothing to do with them, the strong will not reason with the weak. They are afraid that the other party will take advantage of the situation to seize the control of the Black Tower from the three of them. After all, the other party has been coveting the fat piece of meat of their Black Tower City for a long time.
After hearing what the old man said, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still took out a piece of snow-white tiger skin and put the little girl on it.
The old man walked forward and gently touched the little girl's wrist with his hand, and his expression immediately relaxed.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, your niece has a serious energy overdraft. Although it looks scary, her life is not in danger for the time being. I have a vitality pill here. Give it to her first, and then slowly treat her."
After saying that, he took out a jade box from the storage bag, opened it, and revealed a white pill emitting rich vitality.
Seeing the old man's actions, the middle-aged man's expression relaxed. He hurriedly took the pill and put it into the little girl's mouth, then used his magic power to help refine it bit by bit.
The effect of the pill was miraculous. As soon as she took it, the little girl's dry body began to slowly improve and her vitality quickly recovered.
Chen Lin showed surprise on his face.
The effect of this elixir is so powerful that it is no exaggeration to say that it can bring the dead back to life. I don't know if I can get the recipe for it. I will look for it later.
At the critical moment, this can save lives.
After a while.
The little girl's vitality has almost recovered and the medicinal power of the pill has been exhausted, but she has not woken up.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "The vitality pill of the Nangong family is indeed well-deserved. Ye Zhengming thanks the senior for his help. However, my niece's vitality has not only been severely damaged, but her soul essence is also almost exhausted. I wonder if the senior has any solution?"
Now that his niece was no longer in imminent danger of death, the middle-aged man's attitude changed.
After all, he was facing a powerful Void Refinement Master, so even if he had some background, he had to show him some respect.
The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "I, Nangong, am from a bloodline family, and I have not delved deeply into the study of the soul. I have already sent messages to the two Taoist friends from the Huanjian Sect and Bailian Sect, to see if they have any solutions!"
After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's not that I'm shirking my responsibility. As far as I know, the little princess of your Ye family seems to have a congenital lack of soul. I remember that Daoist Qian Xuan has been looking for something to make up for the origin of the soul. Hasn't he found it yet?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Treasures that involve the origin of the soul are rare to begin with, not to mention that my niece is born with congenital factors, so ordinary treasures are useless. I only came here this time because I heard that disciples of the Soulless Sect were lurking in Black Tower City."
After a pause, he continued, "But if this incident hadn't happened, my niece wouldn't have taken the Soul Sealing Pearl given to her by my ancestor, and she could have lived for at least another ten or eight years. But now, it's hard to say."
The old man's mouth twitched when he heard this, knowing that the other party was determined to put the blame on their Black Tower City.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Lin and said, "This fellow Daoist should be a disciple of the Soulless Sect. Could it be that fellow Daoist Ye is here to look for him?"
The middle-aged man's eyes also fell on Chen Lin.
He had discovered Chen Lin's Gintama a long time ago, otherwise he would not have really agreed to help the other party witness any transaction. His niece must have also seen this, so she followed him to the restaurant and deliberately sat near the other party's box.
So when his niece threw a tantrum, he took advantage of the situation and wanted to test her strength.
However, he did not expect that the transaction item that the other party wanted to witness was so weird that even he, a cultivator in the late stage of the Jindan realm, fell into the trap. He had to rely on his niece's innate magical powers to rescue her, which resulted in his niece's life being in danger.
Chen Lin felt pressured as he was being stared at by two powerful men.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he shook his head and said, "I am not a disciple of the Soulless Sect. I am sorry to disappoint you two seniors."
Although he really wanted to pretend to be a member of the Soulless Sect to make the other party cautious.
But these two are both big shots, especially the old man, who is the actual controller of the Black Tower. He couldn't be sure whether the other party had the ability to see through lies, so he chose to tell the truth.
The old man withdrew his gaze and made sure that Chen Lin was not lying.
The middle-aged man also looked disappointed.
Seeing this, Chen Lin immediately spoke again: "Although I am not a disciple of the Soulless Sect, I have studied the soul and have some methods to restore the soul's origin."
In the current situation, one must demonstrate one's own value, otherwise there is a possibility of being vented on.
And although he had no intention of harming the little girl, the little girl's current condition was indirectly related to him, so he had to help if he could. The Soul-Resurrection Pill was not an important thing to him, as he still had many in his storage bag.
"real!"
The middle-aged man was startled and appeared in front of Chen Lin in a flash, staring at him without blinking.
"Don't get excited, senior. We need to check it out first to see if it works."
Chen Lin didn't say too much, then came to the little girl and released the power of Gintama to check the other's soul state.
a long time.
He stood up.
"How about it?"
The middle-aged man asked anxiously.
The old man also showed an expectant look. If he could recover the little girl, then the old ancestor of the Ye family would have no excuse to interfere with their Black Tower City.
Chen Lin seemed hesitant.
The Soul-Regenerating Pill is indeed nothing to him, but looking at the current situation, things that can repair the essence of the soul seem to be extremely rare, otherwise even the Void-Refining cultivators would not have it. So even if he takes it out, he can't be too casual.
In addition, he only knew that the Soul-Restoring Pill could heal damage to the soul's origin, but he didn't know whether it could make up for congenital defects.
"Why, fellow Taoist, do you have any concerns? Feel free to speak up!"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man spoke again.
After thinking for a while, he said, "As long as you can help my niece recover, my White Frost City Ye family will reward you handsomely!"
"All right!"
Chen Lin seemed to have made up his mind. He said, "This girl has become what she is now because of me. I can't just stand by and watch her die. I can refine a kind of elixir that should be able to restore her damaged soul essence, but I can't guarantee whether her congenital defects can be cured."
At this point, he paused, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "But refining pills requires mana. Senior, I'm sure you've seen my current physical condition. I've had some accidents, so I need to wait until I recover. In addition, I'm unfamiliar with this place, so you'll have to get me all the materials for refining pills."
"Is that so?"
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Lin deeply.
He could naturally sense the alien energy in Chen Lin's body, but he couldn't tell whether what Chen Lin said was true or false.
Although the secret technique can be used to detect that the person is not lying, the effectiveness of the secret technique is not absolute, and there are many ways to cover it up.
The best method is naturally to search the soul.
But the opponent is Gintama. With such a strong soul, not to mention a Divine Transformation cultivator like him, even a Void Refinement cultivator would not be able to use the soul-searching technique on him.
At this time, the old man at the side said, "The matter of mana is easy to deal with. I will go to Jingguang Pavilion later and borrow their Huaxuan Mirror. Then I can remove the alien energy in your body. I will pay the price, which is regarded as compensation for the poor management of Black Tower City."
Chen Lin was delighted.
This is his purpose.
Jingguang Pavilion said that their Pavilion Master cannot be disturbed when he is in seclusion, but that depends on what is disturbing him. If it is this person, not to mention an ordinary seclusion, even if it is a deathly seclusion, we have to come out to greet him.
Hearing what the old man said, the middle-aged man nodded.
"Okay, in that case, thank you very much, Senior Nangong and Fellow Daoist Chen. During this time, please ask Fellow Daoist Chen to stay with Ye and tell me in detail what materials are needed for alchemy."
Chen Lin did not object.
This is an inevitable result. If the other party does not keep him around, then there will be a problem.
Now that the agreement had been reached, the old man put away the forbidden scroll and then brought Chen Lin, Xiaocao and others to the top floor of the black tower.
After arranging the accommodation, Chen Lin and Ye Zhengming were each given an identity token. With this token, they could move freely in the Black Tower except for some forbidden areas.
Chen Lin didn't expect to get the advanced token in this way, but unfortunately he had already planned to leave here, so the token was of little use.
Then, the old man went to Jingguang Pavilion to borrow the Huaxuan Mirror, and Chen Lin wrote down the necessary materials and gave them to Ye Zhengming to buy.
However, what he wrote was not the real ingredients of the Soul-Restoring Pill, but all other natural treasures.
It's not that he wants to use his power for personal gain, but he's mainly afraid that the recipe of the Soul-Restoring Pill will be leaked. What if the recipe of the Soul-Restoring Pill is inherited from some big force, and it will cause other troubles.
After all, fate takes a turn and anything can happen.
