The backlash of the strong luck technique is always like a thread hanging by a thread, so it should not be underestimated. Moreover, this time it was used twice in a row, so Chen Lin made many preparations.
At the same time, he made an application to the head of the Ye family and sent Xiaocao out of Baishuang City on the pretext of looking for materials.
He didn't tell Xiaocao to do anything, but instead told him to find a secluded place outside the city and wait. If he didn't receive his communication talisman within the agreed time, he should go to the Black Tower to dig out the resurrection scroll and check the situation.
Although the backlash of bad luck does not necessarily mean death, one must still be prepared for the possibility of demise.
Since Xiaocao cannot use magic power, Chen Lin refined a few small puppets. By controlling switches, they can transform spirit stones into magic power. The power is naturally not great, but it can be used to activate communication talismans and ordinary magic tools.
The storage bag requires a spiritual imprint to connect, so the other party cannot use it, but the space bag obtained from the land of gods can be used. He brought a lot of such space bags.
After completing the preparations, he told Ye Qin and the others not to disturb him, then opened the cave formation and went into seclusion.
A month passed slowly.
Nothing happened.
Instead of being happy, Chen Lin became nervous.
According to past experience, there are two types of backlash from strong luck techniques. One is constant bad luck, during which everything goes wrong and you are unlucky.
The second type is to be calm and unresponsive in the early stages, but to hold back a big move at the very end, like a mountain of pressure.
The longer you hold back your ultimate move, the more powerful it becomes.
In such a state of mind, he could not practice as he could easily go astray, so he studied the recipe of the Golden Bodhisattva Pill and the new magic spells to divert his attention.
Another month passed.
Chen Lin could no longer sit still. He didn't even bother to study the recipe for the elixir. He was always thinking about what form the backlash would take.
Anything that might be abnormal, such as the white jade palm and items from the demon world, were stored separately by him. This was the residence of the Ye family, with countless strong men, and it was unlikely that creatures from other worlds would come to attack. He didn't know many people here, and it was even less likely that any enemies would come to his door.
Therefore, what he was most worried about was the outbreak of demon species!
Once the demon seed erupts, even if the Demon Suppression Ring can suppress it and prevent it from turning into a demon, it is very likely to attract the attention of the will of heaven and earth in this world and bring down a heavenly calamity.
This kind of heavenly tribulation from a higher plane was not something that a mere Nascent Soul in the early stage could resist, and his Black Tortoise Shield had not yet fully recovered, so his defense had been greatly weakened.
Time passed little by little in anxiety.
Chen Lin also gradually calmed down.
This situation was very effective in tempering one's state of mind. His state of mind had improved significantly, and his cultivation had also improved as well.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
It has been three months since I started practicing the magic of strengthening luck.
Under normal circumstances, the backlash of the strong luck technique would last for this period of time, but this time there was no movement.
But based on past experience, it should be soon.
Chen Lin waited calmly.
Every two days he would send a communication talisman to Xiaocao to inform him of his situation and to ensure the other party's safety.
Another half month passed like this.
Still no movement.
Chen Lin couldn't help but feel confused.
The previous times when I used the forced luck technique, the backlash never lasted so long. Could it be that the danger had already appeared, but was resolved by someone
However, he did not feel the bad luck leaving his body or the feeling of physical relief, and the luck and fortune in his body was still in a dry state, indicating that the backlash had not yet ended.
He thought for a moment and sent a communication talisman to Ye Luo, asking about the recovery of his soul's origin and at the same time finding out if there were any abnormalities in Baishuang City recently.
Soon the other party replied to him with a very cheerful tone.
The other party's soul origin has been restored. Now the Ye family's ancestor is working with Sect Leader Yu and others to study how to help her build her foundation without destroying her innate abilities.
As for abnormalities, there are none in Baishuang City, but the evil place that the Ye family ancestor and other strong men went to explore last time has undergone a change. The power of rules has become stronger, and even the Ye family ancestor and others could not resist it and were unable to enter to explore.
After learning the information, Chen Lin became even more confused.
The place where the Ye family's ancestor went was where the Thousand-Eyed Centipede was. It can be confirmed that it was related to Zhao Jiuzhou's acquisition of that crystal stone. However, no matter how strange the place was, it would not affect him here. He had neither been there nor used that strange crystal stone, so it could be said that he had no involvement.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Luo sent another communication talisman.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, when will you come out of seclusion? This year is the Tianxuan Year, and in three days it will be the Tianxuan Day. My grandfather and the others will help me build my foundation on that day. Can you come and watch?"
After hearing the other party's words, Chen Lin suddenly had a bad feeling.
The so-called Tianxuan Day is not a special astronomical phenomenon, but is based on the Tianxuan Realm.
This day was the day when the Tianxuan Realm was shattered.
Later, for unknown reasons, every sixty years, the southern and northern star realms would intersect, and powerful monks could use the "intersection point" to cross the interface.
However, the location of this intersection is completely random. It may be the Beihuang Continent, the Nanling Continent, or the boundless ocean. It is impossible to determine, so crossing the interface through the intersection is only a legend.
This Tianxuan Day had nothing to do with him, but the backlash of luck had not yet appeared, and Chen Lin felt that some unexpected changes might occur.
Thinking of this, he immediately wrote back to Ye Luo, saying that he was at a critical juncture of recuperation and could not go, and asked the other party to be careful.
His current condition was such that he absolutely could not be watched.
If they really go, they won't be helping, but doing mischief.
Even if the other party could have succeeded, he would be affected by him and fail, and might even lose his life.
After sending the communication talisman, Chen Lin began to think about the possible dangers that might arise on Tianxuan Day, but he could not come to a conclusion after thinking about it.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, let's just wait and see what happens!"
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Three days passed in a flash.
This day is a special day for monks, but for mortals, it is no different from any other day.
It only appears once in a decade, and those with a short lifespan may never encounter one in their lifetime.
So there were no celebrations in the city.
However, according to legend, after the two interfaces are connected, the rules of heaven and earth will become more complete, which will be beneficial for cultivators to improve their realm. Many cultivators who are stuck at a bottleneck will choose to break through on this day.
In the courtyard at the top of the main peak.
The ancestor of the Ye family, Ye Qingcheng, and the head of the Medicine God Valley, Yu, were all there, and even Wang Tiangu from the Wang family was there too!
"Friend Wang, thank you for your help this time."
Ye Qingcheng and Sect Leader Yu were setting up the formation on one side, while the Ye family ancestor and Wang Tiangu were chatting.
Wang Tiangu heard what the Ye family ancestor said, waved his hand, and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, there is no need to be polite. I have already said that I am repaying the favor of having the exclusive Skyfire Purgatory Blade at the auction. But I am very curious. After so many years, you still haven't figured out the interface your little granddaughter is communicating with?"
The Ye Family Patriarch shook his head and said, "It's not very clear at the moment. The main reason is that the summoned creature only has one arm. The aura it exudes is like the underworld, but it's a little different. This time, Fellow Daoist Wang can feel it carefully and see if he can find anything."
"Okay, Wang is actually quite curious."
Wang Tiangu agreed with a smile.
Then the two discussed the details of their next actions, mainly how to temporarily cut off the connection between Ye Luo and the interface at that location to prevent the loss of energy during foundation building.
At this time, Ye Qingcheng came over.
"Chief, the formation is ready, we can begin!"
Upon hearing this, the Ye family ancestor stood up and came to Ye Luo who was in the formation together with Wang Tiangu.
"Don't be nervous. Now your soul essence has been completed. With your qualifications, you can easily build your foundation even without the foundation-building pill. The main problem is the loss of energy. With me and Fellow Daoist Wang blocking it for you, and with the assistance of this forbidden formation, there shouldn't be any problem."
"I understand, Grandpa."
Faced with so many powerful people, Ye Luo lost his usual cheerfulness and became well-behaved.
The ancestor of the Ye family looked at the head of the Yu clan again and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, I am really sorry to have troubled you for so long this time. If you need anything in the future, my Ye family will certainly help you."
Yu Qianyue laughed and said, "How can a dignified Jade-faced Sword Immortal be so pedantic?"
Wang Tiangu also joked, "The older you get, the less courageous you become. The Jade-faced Swordsman back then was so impressive!"
The Ye family ancestor laughed, "What the two fellow Taoists said is true. This sharp spirit really cannot be wiped out, otherwise there will be no chance to glimpse the great Dao again!"
"Let's get started!"
After saying that, he took out a bottle of medicine that exuded a strange fragrance and handed it to Ye Luo.
Ye Luo immediately put one in his mouth and began to practice his skills.
Her cultivation had long reached the great perfection of Qi training, and she also had natural spiritual roots. Under normal circumstances, she could build her foundation at any time. However, as soon as she started to build her foundation, the pure energy she produced would be inexplicably sucked away, and she would fail, no matter how many foundation-building pills she took.
This time, these foundation-building pills were personally refined by Sect Leader Yu. They are the best of the best and have powerful medicinal properties.
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, it immediately turned into vast amounts of pure energy and was quickly absorbed as the technique was put into practice. Almost in an instant, Ye Luo felt the spiritual power in his body begin to liquefy and transform towards the foundation-building stage.
But at this moment, an invisible suction force appeared and sucked away the pure energy produced in her body, and the surrounding forbidden formation was not affected in the slightest.
She immediately made a gesture.
"Get started!"
Upon seeing this, the ancestor of the Ye family let out a low shout and cast out a snow-white talisman. The talisman flashed and turned into a ball of light that floated above Ye Luo's head, then sprinkled white light.
Wang Tiangu did not delay either. His aura rose and a phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared in front of him. He opened his mouth and spit out a ray of light, covering the surrounding space.
