Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 545: Strange crystal

Hearing Chen Lin's question, Zhao Jiuzhou smiled.

"Why, Brother Chen, are you interested?"

Chen Lin said frankly: "It would be a lie to say that I am not tempted, but this thing is so magical, is there really no disadvantage?"

“It seems not yet.”

Zhao Jiuzhou shook his head and said, "And I'm not the only one who has used it. Other cultivators have also used it, but the effect is not as good as mine."

"What!"

Chen Lin was surprised.

If anyone else has used it, then this thing seems to be mass-produced. Are the advanced interface resources so abundant that even such treasures can be found everywhere

Zhao Jiuzhou saw Chen Lin's shocked expression, smiled, and said without further ado, "Indeed, someone else has used it, and more than one person. This item is produced in the evil land where the Thousand-Eyed Centipede is. After I got the crystal stone, someone else went to explore it and found two smaller pieces, but they also helped the two cultivators improve their cultivation by a large margin."

"Where is the Thousand-Eyed Centipede?"

Chen Lin was even more surprised.

Then he wondered, "Since the location can be determined, didn't Brother Zhao go looking for it later? Such a strange object must not be formed naturally. Could there be some strange treasure there?"

The evil land is only dangerous at night. There is no strange power of rules during the day. Even the evil beasts do not come out during the day. Even if they come out, their combat effectiveness is much lower than that at night. Therefore, as long as you know the exact place, you can search for it during the day.

In addition, Chen Lin also suspected that Master He's hunting of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede was just a cover, perhaps also for this treasure.

Zhao Jiuzhou understood what Chen Lin meant and explained, "How could we not look for it? Now the news has spread in a small area of the Black Tower. I am not the only one who has sent people to look for it. Other cultivators are also keeping an eye on it. However, the crystal is no different from an ordinary stone during the day. It only shows energy fluctuations at night. It is impossible to find it during the day."

Then, he added: "This matter even alarmed the strong men of the upper three levels. Many people were sent to check, but they found nothing."

"Oh? Even people from the three major forces have gone there. Did the three Lianxu seniors also take action?"

Chen Lin asked loudly.

If a powerful person at the level of refining emptiness takes action, then basically no one else will be able to survive.

Zhao Jiuzhou shook his head and said, "I haven't heard any news about them taking action. The life span of a Void Refiner is long and they won't take risks easily. No one has been able to fully explore the strength of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede. In addition, the strange rules of the evil land also have a suppressive effect on the Void Refiner. They probably won't go there in person."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement.

People in the Lianxu realm can live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and they have control over a large amount of resources, so there is really no need to take risks.

If it were him, he would not go either. He could just wait for other monks to explore the place thoroughly before finishing it up.

Besides, this crystal is a rare item for Nascent Soul cultivators, but it may not have such an obvious effect on Void Refining cultivators.

"Brother Chen, can you leave Baishuang City now?"

Zhao Jiuzhou pondered for a moment and asked.

Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhao, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer?"

Zhao Jiuzhou sighed and didn't continue the topic.

He really wanted to invite Chen Lin to explore for treasures, because he knew that Grandmaster He had invited him again and again, which meant that he must have the means to restrain the evil rules and the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, but given the other party's current situation, he had to give up.

The Ye family is a behemoth, and he can't afford to provoke them.

Seeing this, Chen Lin also understood the other party's intention.

He couldn't help but frown.

After thinking it over, he said, "Brother Zhao, do you want to explore for treasures yourself? As the owner of a large trading company, you should not be short of resources. Why take risks? Besides, I always feel that this item is a little unusual. You should be more cautious when using it."

These were his true feelings, and he wouldn't have said them if he didn't think the other person was worth making friends with.

Zhao Jiuzhou nodded and said, "Brother Chen, you are right. I do want to go there to take a look. I and a few fellow Taoists have found a place where the crystal is very likely to exist. The location is also on the edge of the evil land. If you are careful, there will be no problem. It's a pity that Brother Chen can't leave, otherwise I would have brought you a share of this opportunity."

After a pause, he continued, "Treasures like this, no matter which cultivator obtained them, would have used them immediately. No one would sell them, so if you want to obtain them, you have to find them yourself. I was lucky to have obtained them that time. That cultivator didn't know the use of the crystal."

Chen Lin frowned again.

He felt something was wrong with the other party's answer. With the other party's wealth, there was no need for him to take risks. This was also inconsistent with the other party's usual style of doing things.

He was somewhat suspicious as to whether the other party was affected by the strange energy in the crystal.

But in the end, Chen Lin stopped persuading.

His relationship with the other party had not reached that stage yet. If he said more, it would be like being too polite and would only make the other party unhappy.

And he couldn't be sure that it was the crystal that caused it, it was just a guess.

After leaving the restaurant and parting with Zhao Jiuzhou, Chen Lin was still thinking about the crystal stone.

If this thing had no side effects, it would be a true treasure and very suitable for his current situation. Just one of it would allow him to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

After reaching this level, his cultivation in the early Nascent Soul stage was not enough and he could only be considered a mid-level cultivator, restricted in every way.

Although he has a second soul and Gintama, he is unable to unleash their power because he knows too few related secret techniques.

He was also constantly searching, but to no avail.

Advanced spiritual spells and soul secrets are relatively rare and can probably only be seen at auctions.

Thinking of these two things, Chen Lin thought of Ye Luo's physical condition again.

Consider whether these two secret methods can be used to make up for the opponent's soul defects and enable him to successfully build his foundation.

As long as the other party has established his foundation, he has basically completed his mission. Otherwise, the wait for the Ye family to find the original recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill will be endless. He is afraid that after the ten-year agreement, the other party will continue to detain him with other reasons and not let him leave.

But after careful consideration, I still feel that it is not very feasible.

The second soul is condensed into the soul. Although the soul is also related to the soul, it is only a tempering but not a compensation, and it cannot solve the problem of soul defects.

The same goes for Gintama.

They are just means to temper the soul and cannot solve the other party's innate defects.

If he wants to solve the problem of the origin of the soul, the only means he has is the Soul-Resurrection Pill. Otherwise, he can only find those legendary treasures.

For example, a Styx flower that can repair any damage to the soul!

Of course, this is more difficult than finding a recipe.

In addition, Chen Lin was also very curious about the interface that Ye Luo could communicate with.

According to the other party's description, she didn't know what the interface looked like, but she could sense a bone-like creature and summon it.

She had no idea how powerful the bone creature was, as it had never actually appeared, and she could only summon one bone claw at a time.

But even so, the Jindan cultivators found it difficult to resist, and even the Lianxu cultivators did not dare to withstand its brilliance.

If the summoning process wasn't a bit long and the cost wasn't too huge, this would be equivalent to the combat power of a virtual refining level, and it's no wonder that the Ye family's ancestor attached great importance to it.

Moreover, the white bone creature has not been completely summoned yet. If it were to come out as a whole, it would probably be even stronger, and it would not be impossible for it to reach the Hedao realm.

The ancestor of the Ye family spared no resources in order to cure Ye Luo, probably because he was fantasizing about this.

If the Ye family had a trump card at the Hedao level, even if it could not be used easily, the benefits that could be generated would be unimaginable.

While thinking, Chen Lin continued browsing in the market and did not return to the cave until evening.

Knowing that Ye Luo did not come to the cave to find him, he sent another communication talisman to the other party, but still received no response.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The other party had made an appointment with him yesterday to attend the trade fair together, so why did he suddenly stop moving

But then he didn't care about it anymore. With the other party's identity, there was no way he would be in danger in Baishuang City. He probably had something to do.

Returning to the training room, Chen Lin activated the formation he had set up and began to check today's harvest.

The first thing to look at is the detailed explanation of monsters.

The matter of the demon species has always been on his mind, and he feels uncomfortable if it is not resolved.

At least the thread of cause and effect can be traced, and there are ways to deal with it, but he has not made up his mind to use the magic of forced luck.

However, this demon seed could not be seen or touched, and he didn't even know if it really existed. This made it difficult for him to calm down and practice, for fear that it would explode at the critical moment of breaking through the bottleneck.

Opening the thick book, Chen Lin slowly immersed himself in it.

It took him more than an hour to go through all the content, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This book recorded many unheard-of monsters and demons, which opened his eyes, but there was not much information about the demons.

According to the records, the demon is a very mysterious existence with unknown origin.

Some ancient cultivators believed that the Heavenly Demon was the state of a demon after it had advanced to a certain level, just like a cultivator ascending to become an immortal, and was on the same level as an immortal.

There are also some people who believe that the Heavenly Demons are a race, different from ordinary demons, and belong to the royal family among demons.

There are also cultivators who think that the Heavenly Demon and the Heart Demon are both products derived from the cultivators’ negative emotions. They are invisible substances that will always accompany the cultivator as long as he exists.

But no matter which statement it is, there is a common understanding in the ancient times of cultivation, that is, the demons are very powerful and can hardly be killed.

Until the emergence of Buddhist monks.

This book does not talk about the origin of Buddhist cultivators, but only says that the power of Buddha is the nemesis of all monsters, including heavenly monsters. If you encounter an irresistible monster, you can seek help from Buddhist cultivators.

I also hope that more people will practice Buddhism and eliminate demons.

Even at the end of the book, there is a scripture and a picture of a Buddha statue, but the image is very blurry and the specific face cannot be seen clearly.

There was no introduction about the demon species in the content, which made Chen Lin a little disappointed.

With a sigh, he closed the book, preparing to put it away and study it slowly later.

"Huh?"

Chen Lin paused and found a signature on the back of the book.

I took a curious look and was stunned on the spot!
