When Chen Lin heard that someone wanted to buy Meng Po soup, he couldn't help but take a look.
I found that although the other person was disheveled, she was much better than Concubine Xu. At least I could see her face clearly. She was very beautiful and in good spirits. It seemed that she had only been in for a short time.
The other person also wore a phoenix crown on his head, exactly the same as his.
In fact, not only the other party, but everyone in this place wore a phoenix crown. After all, it was the cold palace, where the wife of King Xuanyin was punished.
If all phoenix crowns have the same function, then it is really hard to say whether this person is a man or a woman.
"If you want to buy Meng Po soup, just go and buy it from Meng Po yourself. Why are you looking for me?"
Chen Lin's eyes flashed and he asked back.
If he wanted to leave here, he had to know more information, so he would not refuse if someone approached him.
The woman opposite smiled awkwardly, wiped her face with her hands to wipe off some of the dirt, then straightened her body and said, "I have run out of magic coins. That old woman only accepts magic coins and doesn't want anything else. But I can exchange other things with you!"
"What?"
Chen Lin took a look and found that the other person's clothes were already patinaed, and it didn't look like he had any treasures.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then reached into her patinated robe, fumbled around for a while, and took out a shiny stone. She held it up and said, "How about I trade this gem with you?"
As if he was afraid that Chen Lin didn't know the value of the gem, he immediately continued: "This is not an ordinary gem. It contains a special energy. If it can be used, it will be extraordinary!"
Chen Lin didn't say anything, but he was very surprised in his heart.
What the other party took out was actually a spirit crystal!
The robes worn by these concubines had the effect of isolating perception, so he could not determine whether they were creatures from the demon world or outsiders like him.
But one thing is certain, that is, there is a spatial node in this scene that connects to the real world, and that a cultivator has entered with his real body.
Because the spirit crystal is not an item from the demonic world, the projection state cannot be manifested!
The person who brought the spirit crystal in could be the other party or someone else.
Chen Lin prefers the former.
Because even a spiritual crystal cannot resist the invasion of the demon world. If special methods are not used to block the demonic energy, it will also be eroded by the demonic energy and lose its energy, turning into waste. However, the other party's spiritual crystal is full of spiritual power and does not seem to be eroded by the demonic energy at all.
"Could it be that this woman is a cultivator who came in her true form?"
Chen Lin became very interested.
But he did not agree to the exchange, nor did he say anything else. Instead, he shook his head and went back inside with the Meng Po soup.
The other party is right in front of him, and he can communicate at any time if he wants, there is no need to rush.
Now that he had just come in, he did not fully understand the rules here and could not act rashly. Who knew if the other party was setting a trap for him? What if this Meng Po soup was not allowed to be traded privately, or if the other party was someone that Meng Po disliked, he would be in big trouble.
Seeing Chen Lin's actions, the woman showed disappointment, then staggered back to the corner, hunched over there, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
After sobbing for a while, she threw the spirit crystal directly to the ground and became dazed.
In a flash, ten days passed.
outside world.
The ancestor of the Ye family stood in the cave, looking at the unconscious Chen Lin in front of him, his brows slightly frowned.
"This person has been in the demon world for such a long time, something seems a little wrong!"
Ye Zhengming, who was standing beside him, heard this and said worriedly, "Ancestor, Chen Lin won't turn into a demon, right? Otherwise, we should send him out of the city. He hasn't come out for such a long time, I'm afraid something has happened. Once he turns into a demon, it's hard to predict what state he will become. It's better to be careful."
"and."
Ye Zhengming continued, "I have sent people into the demon world connected to the wooden withering. It is just a small scene, where many people can meet each other. I did not see Chen Lin. He should not have gone to that scene."
"oh?"
The Ye family patriarch's mood fluctuated slightly, and he said, "Have you finished the investigation? It's just as I thought. With the demonic aura contained in the wood, it can't resist the suppression of the evil demonic aura at all. It seems that this kid has a lot of demonic items on him."
Having said that, he took the storage bag from Chen Lin and reached out to wipe off the mark of spiritual consciousness on it, but after thinking about it, he returned the storage bag.
"Forget it, let's wait and see."
The ancestor of the Ye family pondered for a moment and said, "I have been personally in charge here during this period. The change in Ye Luo's fate this time is related to this kid. The prophecy of the Taoist Tianming should have fallen on him. For Ye Luo, I will be his protector. I will ask him some questions after he wakes up."
Seeing his ancestor say this, Ye Zhengming stopped talking.
The Ye family ancestor said again: "You should not do anything else recently. Help Ye Luo stabilize her cultivation realm with Qingcheng, but don't let her use her innate abilities for the time being. Wait until her innate abilities are completely stabilized. That white bone monster is extraordinary. If we can control and use it, our Ye family will have a firm foothold in this Northern Wilderness Continent and will soon become a super power. We don't have to hide in this small White Frost City all the time."
"yes."
Ye Zhengming responded respectfully.
The Ye family ancestor suddenly seemed to remember something and asked again: "There is still no trace of the sword? Keep looking. No matter what means you use, you must find the sword!"
When Ye Zhengming heard the ancestor asking about this matter, he immediately showed a look of worry.
"Old Ancestor, a lot of unfamiliar faces have appeared in the city these past two days. They are all high-level cultivators, and there are also powerful Void Refining cultivators. They all seem to be targeting the sword. Should we expel them?"
The ancestor of the Ye family immediately denied it, "No, our Ye family does not have that strength yet. If these people are resentful after being expelled and bring in powerful Hedao masters, it will be troublesome. We are on our Ye family's territory and have the advantage of time. If the sword is still taken by others, we can only say that we have no chance of getting the Immortal Sword."
…
After a long period of observation, Chen Lin determined that the woman opposite him was a foreigner like him, and a cultivator.
He is still a simple person.
The other party would occasionally take out items used by monks and display them in front of everyone without any scruples, and would always exchange them for Meng Po soup with others.
Of course, no one swapped with her.
It's not that Meng Po doesn't allow it, but no one can rely on themselves to resist the cold and gloomy air here. Meng Po soup is a necessary material, and it is not enough for one's own use, so how can one trade it to others
That Meng Po only accepts magic coins. No matter what treasure it is, she won't even look at it. Chen Lin suspects that this is a restriction of the rules.
This resulted in the treasures being worthless in this cold palace. As each magic coin was used, one less would be needed. If they were all used up, one would have to endure the pain of being invaded by the cold and damp air and eventually die in agony.
That Concubine Xu died wailing just two days ago.
What shocked Chen Lin even more was that as soon as the other party died, the stone door at the entrance opened automatically, and then one of the stone statues came to life, opened its mouth and sucked in Concubine Xu's body.
There is really no remains left, it disappeared completely.
This situation made him feel cold in his heart. He didn't know if he would have a chance to be reborn in the resurrection scroll after his soul exploded.
The last trump card was not safe, so Chen Lin became anxious.
He decided to make contact with the woman opposite him and find a way to find out the location of the space nodes controlled by the other party. If he couldn't leave by repulsion, then crossing the node was also a way.
As for the consequences of the projection state returning to the real world through the node, I don't care too much about it.
His only worry was that the other party was too "straightforward". If he revealed his identity, he didn't know whether the other party would publicize it like a megaphone.
After hesitating for another two days, Chen Lin finally decided to give it a try.
Because within these two days, two more concubines died and their bodies were never found.
One of them did not die from being corroded by the cold and gloomy air, but was sentenced to death by the Xuanyin King. A faceless man came with Meng Po and announced the decree.
This means that King Xuanyin may not want to let him go when he thinks of him, but may also want to write him a suicide note.
The uncertainty has increased.
But just when Chen Lin made up his mind and prepared to contact the woman opposite, a change stopped his action.
"Which realm are you from?"
Chen Lin was lying on the bed thinking when a sweet voice sounded in his ears.
He was slightly stunned, and calmly checked the source of the sound.
Then the sound appeared again.
"It's me, the third room across from you on the left, wearing a veil."
Chen Lin glanced in surprise and saw the other party standing quietly at the door, thinking about something with his eyes closed. He seemed to sense his gaze and nodded slightly.
It really is the other party!
He was secretly surprised, because it turned out that this person was also a foreign monk.
If this is the case, there should be more foreign cultivators in this cold palace. Could it be that King Xuanyin deliberately targeted these outsiders and sent him to the cold palace
Unfortunately, he did not know how to use the secret technique of soul transmission and could not communicate with the other party. Judging from the other party's actions, he was unwilling to reveal his identity. If he spoke directly, the other party might not admit it.
"You can't transmit sound, could it be projected in?"
The pleasant voice sounded again, with a hint of doubt.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
It was obvious at first glance that this woman was a very shrewd person. She knew how to be low-key and tolerant, and it was safer for her to interact with the other party than the one sitting opposite him.
"That's really unexpected. Can't we get out even if we project in?"
The woman's voice was filled with more doubt, and then she continued, "By the way, if you project, you won't be able to transmit sound normally. I'll teach you a soul secret technique that can be used to transmit sound. Remember it."
Then, he began to tell the story slowly.
Chen Lin didn't expect to have such a gain. The soul secret technique is quite rare, so he immediately memorized it.
