"Congratulations to Brother Xu for getting what he wanted!"
Chen Lin walked into the private room of Lingshi Pavilion, looked at the old man dressed in the clothes of an elder of Qianyuan Sect, and clasped his fists to congratulate him.
This person is Xu Shanjing.
The two were hired as guards from Heita City and came to Qianyuan City. It has been about ten years since they last saw each other. Unexpectedly, the other party actually joined Qianyuan Sect and became an elder.
"Haha, congratulations, I thought Fellow Daoist Lin had already gone to the Jinling Mountains, but I didn't expect him to be still in the city. I heard from a fellow Daoist from a caravan that he saw you, so I asked you to come out."
Xu Shanjing also clasped his fists, with a look of great joy on his face, and it seemed that he was living quite well in Qianyuan Sect.
Chen Lin sat casually opposite him and said bluntly, "Friend Xu asked me out. Is it just to reminisce about the past, or is there something else?"
He couldn't say that he had any friendship with the other party. They hadn't been in contact for more than ten years, but the other party suddenly came to him, so it should not be just to reminisce about the past.
Xu Shanjing smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is still as straightforward as ever. I took the liberty to ask you out this time because I do have something to discuss with you."
"But it's okay."
Chen Lin spoke casually.
He was also very curious about what was so special about him that made the other party miss him. When he was in the caravan, he didn't show anything special.
"Did Fellow Daoist Lin practice Buddhist techniques?"
The other party's words made Chen Lin react.
So that's it.
Buddhist practitioners are very rare, and the demon-suppressing ring on his head cannot be concealed, so it is normal for the other party to notice him.
Buddhist techniques are also the right way, there is nothing to hide.
He nodded and said, "I have indeed practiced some Buddhist techniques, but I have only dabbled in them and have not studied them in depth. I am not an orthodox Buddhist practitioner. Is there anything that Brother Xu needs help from a Buddhist practitioner?"
The power of Buddha can be used basically for eliminating demons, but there are many ways to eliminate demons. This is the upper realm, and there are many different ways. The power of Buddha is actually not very useful.
Xu Shanjing hesitated for a moment and said, "Daoyou is right. Our sect's disciples accidentally discovered the ruins of an ancient temple. When we explored the key point, we found a door that required Buddha's power to open, so I thought of you."
Without waiting for Chen Lin to answer, he explained: "You don't need to do anything, just use the power of Buddha to open the door. When the time comes, you can give 10% of the treasures obtained inside to you."
Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He asked hurriedly, "Does that ancient temple have a name?"
Xu Shanjing didn't understand, but nodded and said, "It has a name, it's called Demon Suppression Temple."
The corner of Chen Lin's mouth twitched.
Then he took a breath and waved his hand, saying, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, fellow Taoist. I'm in seclusion right now and I really can't spare the time to explore the ruins. If you hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have come out. And the Buddhist techniques I practice are body-building techniques, and I never worship Buddha, so I have very little Buddha power. You might as well go find some high-ranking monks in ordinary temples, they're much stronger than me."
After saying this, he stopped talking and began to taste the spiritual food.
Xu Shanjing didn't expect Chen Lin to refuse so straightforwardly, but with the reason of seclusion, he couldn't persuade him anymore.
Even though there are few Buddhist practitioners, they are not completely unavailable. It’s just that there are very few with high levels of cultivation.
So he stopped talking about this topic and started talking about interesting things going on in Qianyuan City.
The two of them talked happily.
Soon, after having eaten and drunk their fill, they exchanged communication talismans and left the Spiritual Food Pavilion.
After returning to the cave, Chen Lin's face turned gloomy.
This Demon-Suppressing Temple is really haunted and you can see ghosts everywhere you go.
He didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Other things may be coincidences, but the Demon-Suppressing Temple is definitely not. This relic did not appear earlier or later, but it was discovered when he arrived in Qianyuan City. How could it be such a coincidence
"Could it be related to Nian Kong's clone? One of Nian Kong's nine clones exists there?"
Chen Lin remembered what Nian Kong said in the Cang Yun Secret Realm. The other party said that as long as he carried the cassock, he would meet the other party's clone by various coincidences. As long as the other party's clone was not demonized, he would be able to help him get rid of the demon after getting the cassock.
It was for this reason that he never threw away the robe.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head.
Now that we have the Golden Bodhisattva Pill to shape the golden body, there is a chance to force the demon out, or even eliminate it. There is no need to wade into the muddy waters of the Demon-Suppressing Temple. Nian Kong is mysterious and what he says is not entirely trustworthy.
But there is no need to be paranoid, just run away and wait and see what happens.
If Jin Pu Dan cannot condense the golden body, or if the demon seed cannot be found after the golden body is condensed, then searching for Nian Kong's clone in the ruins is also a way.
After making the decision, Chen Lin sent a message to Luo Xiaoyu, asking him to pay attention to the information about the ruins of the Demon-Suppressing Temple, and then continued to refine the Golden Bodhisattva Pill.
Time flies like water.
Cultivation is very boring, but it is also fun.
As time passed, Chen Lin gradually forgot about the affairs of the Demon-Suppressing Temple and focused on refining the Golden Bodhisattva Pill.
With the help of the elixir, the last part of the Vajra Body Refining Art was gradually completed, and the body changed from bronze to light gold.
Not only the skin, but also the flesh, blood, bones and even the internal organs emit a bright golden light and bursts of Buddha's power when the skills are practiced.
But these Buddha powers do not come out of thin air, but come from the Golden Bodhisattva Pill. If the golden body cannot be completely built, the Buddha power will slowly decline.
In a blink of an eye, another five years have passed.
In the cave, golden light shone from Chen Lin's body, illuminating the entire room golden. The Dharma image behind him was automatically activated. One hand stood in front of his chest, solemn and dignified, and on the other palm was a golden lotus-shaped flame, flickering.
a long time.
The golden light in the room was withdrawn and returned to the body, and the Dharma image slowly dissipated.
Chen Lin opened his eyes and sighed.
The Golden Bodhisattva Pill has been completely refined, and the effect is better than he expected. It has helped him practice the Vajra Body Refining Technique to the end, with no further progress to be made.
But the golden body was not completely built.
Now all other areas have reached the standards, except for the brain and heart.
At this stage, he has reached the top of the Vajra Body Refining Art. In terms of level, it is equivalent to a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Of course, his actual combat power is far inferior, because he does not have the same level of Buddhist magical powers to use, only a Burning Lotus True Fire.
This speed is quite fast.
The effect of the Golden Buddha Pill is too good, and there is absolutely no drug resistance. Otherwise, it would take at least a hundred years to practice the Body Refining Technique to this level.
But that’s all.
If you want to improve further, you can only rely on the efficacy of Jin Pu Dan. The speed will definitely be much slower, and the heart and brain are the most difficult places to achieve.
After stretching his body, Chen Lin stood up and sent a message to Luo Xiaoyu.
After a while, the other person's figure appeared in the cave.
"Master, are you out of retreat?"
Luo Xiaoyu was surprised.
At this moment, she has reached the late stage of foundation building and has become much more mature.
In just fifteen years, she went from a mid-stage Qi training cultivator to a late-stage foundation building expert. Not only did she feel like she was dreaming, but everyone around her who knew her was envious.
"How's the store?"
As Luo Xiaoyu's cultivation level improved, Chen Lin gradually placed some high-grade elixirs in the shop, so that more people would go there and he could get more information.
"Everything is as usual. Following the master's instructions, we opened another branch."
Luo Xiaoyu briefly reported the situation of the store, but Chen Lin didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Just take care of this. Is there any new information about the ancient temple ruins?"
Regarding the ancient temple ruins, only a few disciples and elders of the Qianyuan Sect are handling it. It is not kept secret and they have been exploring it all the time, but it seems that the process is not going smoothly.
"Yes, I was just about to report to Master. Just a few days ago, the ruins seemed to have undergone a change. A core disciple of the Yuanying stage and an elder of foreign affairs of the Qianyuan Sect died inside, causing quite a stir. It is rumored that a powerful spirit-transforming expert has gone to investigate the situation."
"A foreign affairs elder has fallen. Do you know which one it is?"
Chen Lin was shocked. Xu Shanjing was the elder of foreign affairs. He must not be the one to die.
Luo Xiaoyu immediately said, "It's Elder Duan. There is a friend of mine among the children of the Duan family. Their Duan family has called back all the children."
"oh."
Chen Lin felt relieved.
It didn't matter to him who it was, as long as it wasn't Xu Shanjing. The other party was a semi-acquaintance of his and was still working in Qianyuan Sect. If he left here, he would need the other party to help take care of his shop.
"How's the exploration of the demon world going?"
Chen Lin ignored the matters of the Demon-Suppressing Temple and instead asked about the matters of the Demon Realm.
Through continuous collection over the years, I have obtained three more items from the demonic world, plus the wooden sculpture, a total of four new scenes.
After experiencing the bloody handkerchief scene, he didn't dare to explore it himself anymore, so he asked the other party to keep finding the old cultivator to enter. However, he did not force him. Instead, he promised him huge profits and explained the degree of danger clearly, letting the old cultivator make his own choice.
With the temptation of a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills, the old cultivators who were stuck at the stage of Qi Perfection did not need any persuasion and signed up on their own initiative. Many even needed to use connections to get a spot.
But he instructed that he only look for independent cultivators who were well known to him, and that they all sign a spiritual contract to keep it secret and not tell anyone about the exploration of the demon world. He only announced to the outside world that he was going to conduct a dangerous experiment.
“It’s not going well.”
Luo Xiaoyu shook his head.
"Except for the wood carving scene, only one person returned from the silver button scene. The others never returned."
"oh?"
Chen Lin showed a look of surprise.
"Has anyone returned from the Silver Button Scene? What's going on inside?"
He was well aware of the dangers of exploring the demon world, but as long as someone came back, it meant that some of the rules of the scene had been cracked, and the danger level would be much lower if they went in again.
He had told the other party that no matter whether Lao Xiu came back or not, the compensation should not be reduced at all and all should be given to his designated family. This was also the reason why Lao Xiu continued to come forward.
Anyway, time is running out. Even if I die, I can still give my descendants a chance to build a foundation.
