Over the past ten years, Chen Lin has collected a total of three items from the demonic world.
They were a silver button with patterns on it, a grey stone strip more than one foot long and two inches wide, and a painting of a beautiful woman.
Including the wooden sculpture obtained from gambling in White Frost City, there are a total of four scenes.
However, the wood-decaying scene was not very dangerous and had been explored almost completely. He had even gone in once himself and found nothing good there. Moreover, even if there were any useless things, he couldn't bring them out.
It is probably because of this reason that the people of Tianyun Sect took it out as a gambling item.
After getting these three items, the corresponding scenes are very dangerous.
After getting the coins, Chen Lin asked many veteran cultivators to enter, but to no avail. In order to speed up the exploration, he even took out three magic coins and asked Luo Xiaoyu to find three veteran cultivators with outstanding abilities to lead them into three scenes respectively, but none of them could come out.
There were not many magic coins left, nor many fairy stones, and he had not found a replacement yet. He only had one pass, so he did not increase his investment. He just let Luo Xiaoyu continue to look for the old cultivator and explore as fate would have it.
I had already lost confidence, but I didn't expect that one would come out this time.
"Where are the people?"
Chen Lin looked at Luo Xiaoyu and asked.
"At the manor outside the city, he suffered some injuries and is being treated."
Chen Lin's expression changed slightly, and he said, "No signs of demonization, right?"
The danger of exploring the Demon Realm is not only within the scene, but is more likely to appear after the explorer comes out. For this reason, he gave Luo Xiaoyu some magic coins and fairy stones, and also asked the other party to keep swallowing soul refining pills to change the nature of the soul and enhance resistance to the breath of the Demon Realm.
If the other party was able to use the power of luck, he would have wanted the other party to enter the Gambling Lake scene to go fishing on his behalf.
Unfortunately, without the blessing of the power of luck, it would be difficult to catch the fish in the lake if he fished normally. Instead, it would consume a large amount of magic coins, and the few magic coins he had would not be able to sustain him for more than a few times.
What Chen Lin was more worried about was that the golden toad could lock onto the aura of the fishing rod and directly exploit a loophole in the rules to kill Luo Xiaoyu.
After all, Luo Xiaoyu has nothing to do with the Guardian, so there is no need to be afraid.
Not only would he harm his apprentice, but he would also have to lose the secondary guide and fishing rod. He would never be able to enter the Duyun Lake again, and it would also become difficult to explore other scenes in the Demon World.
While thinking, Luo Xiaoyu's voice rang out: "Reporting to the master, no signs of demonization were found, but because the soul was injured, the recovery is very slow."
Chen Lin nodded, as long as it wasn't demonized.
The injured projections were all souls, but he was more adept at dealing with soul injuries, so saving the other party's life was not a problem.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Chen Lin called out and took Luo Xiaoyu out of the cave and came to his manor outside the city.
He bought this manor from Qianyuan Sect, which is not too far from Qianyuan City. He needs to pay a fee to Qianyuan Sect every year in exchange for their protection.
The manor is not very big, but it is located on a spiritual vein, with beautiful environment and fertile land.
In name, it is used to grow spiritual crops, but in reality it is used as a base for exploring the demon world. After all, exploring different dimensions can easily lead to unpredictable dangers. Although Qianyuan Sect has not issued an order to prohibit it, if trouble is caused, there will be punishment.
The entire manor is covered by a large defensive formation, and is also blessed by an illusion formation. Unless a high-level cultivator specifically investigates, no one will be able to discover what is going on inside.
Even so, Chen Lin still built a secret room, and all the explorations into the demon world were carried out in the secret room.
As soon as I entered the manor, I saw Xiaocao observing in a small spiritual field.
In order to prevent anyone from breaking in maliciously or anything unusual happening to the old cultivator who was exploring the demon world, he deliberately let the other party stay here.
"Owner!"
Sensing Chen Lin's presence, Xiao Cao immediately ran over.
Then he stood behind Chen Lin, saying nothing more and ignoring anyone.
Chen Lin sensed the aura of Xiao Cao and couldn't help but frown.
The opponent's sword intent has become stronger again!
If they do not take the initiative to restrain themselves, not to mention Qi training and foundation building cultivators, even Jindan cultivators will not be able to get close to the opponent within a certain range, otherwise they will be injured by the sword intent.
Even if you actively restrain yourself, it will still make people feel very uncomfortable.
Logically speaking, the stronger Xiaocao is, the happier he should be, but the opponent's sword intent has been growing abnormally and too fast recently.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin asked Luo Xiaoyu to go in first, then took Xiaocao to the side and asked directly: "What's going on? Is the sword intent growing so fast?"
The situation between the two of them is special and there is no need to hide it.
Xiaocao rarely showed a thoughtful look.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm not too sure. It's just that after watching the immortal sword dance last time, my understanding of the sword art suddenly deepened."
Chen Lin nodded.
Sure enough, it is related to the phantom of the immortal.
Then he asked again: "Are there any signs of resurrection of your memories from your previous life? Do you remember anything?"
The flowers in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers are all transformed from humans, so the other party is not really a blade of grass, but the reincarnation of a strong man, and it is possible for him to recover his memory.
Xiao Cao shook his head. "No, except for the memories in that valley, I don't have any previous memories. Master, don't worry, Xiao Cao will never lie to you."
Seeing the tears in his eyes, Chen Lin immediately smiled and said, "Why are you feeling wronged? How could I not love you? I just thought that if you could recover your memory, you would be complete. I would be happy for you."
He was not being hypocritical in this regard, but really hoped that the other party would recover his memory.
Having shared hardships many times, he had long regarded the other party as a relative. Even if the other party recovered his memory, got rid of the power of the rules of the demon world, and no longer regarded him as the master, he would be happy to respect the other party's choice.
Xiaocao shook his head again but said nothing.
Chen Lin didn't dare to say anything else, lest he be misunderstood and start crying again, so he walked into the main building.
Inside the secret room.
Chen Lin removed his hand from the old cultivator's head and said, "It's nothing serious, just the soul is damaged. I'll give you some pills later and you'll recover soon."
"Thank you, senior!"
The old cultivator sensed the aura of Chen Lin's cultivation and hurriedly greeted him.
Chen Lin nodded, and then said: "Now tell me in detail the specific situation, don't leave anything out."
After saying this, his eyes glowed faintly and he performed the soul-stealing technique.
The old man's eyes became a little dull, and he began to describe.
After a long time, the other party regained his consciousness, but he did not show any resistance. Instead, he fell to his knees and kowtowed, saying, "Junior Qi Chengliang is willing to sign a blood contract and let his whole family be slaves to you!"
Chen Lin also started out as a casual cultivator, so he naturally knew what the other party was worried about.
He looked at the other person calmly and said, "Don't worry, I am not a bloodthirsty person. I will not kill you to silence you, nor will I harm your family. Moreover, all the benefits agreed upon will be given to you, as long as you abide by the agreement as well."
The old monk did not stand up and continued to kowtow.
"Senior, I am truly willing to be your slave, please help me!"
Chen Lin sighed.
The way of survival for low-level independent cultivators is extremely difficult.
"Well, as you wish."
Chen Lin knew that if he didn't agree, the other party would not feel at ease.
If the other party does not come back alive, then it’s okay. Even if you can’t get the subsequent reward, it won’t bring danger to your family. After all, your family doesn’t know what the other party did.
Moreover, the previous rewards have been received and sent back home.
Now that the other party has returned alive, he not only knows that they are exploring the demon world, but also has a grasp of the situation in the scene. They must be worried that he will kill people to silence them. It is not impossible that they will even kill all of his family members in order to prevent future troubles.
This kind of situation happens every day in the cultivation world.
"Thank you, senior!"
A huge weight dropped from the old cultivator’s heart.
Although once the blood contract is formed, his Qi family will be enslaved forever, but it is better than losing their lives. He himself does not care, as his life span is not long. But he still has a son and a daughter, both of whom are still young. He cannot bear to see them being implicated and killed.
Moreover, becoming a slave of a Yuanying powerhouse is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it may become the hope for the rise of their Qi family.
After getting the approval, the old man immediately signed a blood contract with Chen Lin first, and then activated the communication talisman to let his children come over.
Chen Lin originally wanted to sign only one person, but after thinking about it, he felt that the other party might not be at ease if he did so, and such a large manor could not be managed by Luo Xiaoyu alone. Luo Xiaoyu had already investigated the details of the Qi family and found that they were all good people, so he decided to sign the other party's children as well to help in the manor.
The other party’s son is called Qi Dashan. He has very poor aptitude. He is already over 40 years old and his cultivation level is only the fourth level of Qi training.
He is stronger than he was back then, but under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to make any progress. Even if he gets a foundation-building pill, he will not be able to successfully build the foundation.
However, this man was honest and simple, which made Chen Lin quite satisfied.
The other daughter is called Qi Qianxue. She is slightly better off. She is only in her twenties. She has also reached the fourth level of Qi training and is also very good-looking.
His aptitude is not high, he only has four spiritual roots, but his water spiritual root is more prominent, and practicing water-attributed techniques will have certain benefits.
The two men seemed very nervous. The communication talisman was not clear enough, and they thought their father had offended an important figure and was going to be punished.
Qi Chengliang took the two men aside and explained it to them, and then they obediently signed the contract.
Both of them knew that from the moment they stepped into this manor, there was no room for regret.
After the contract was signed, Chen Lin let Qi Liangshan and his family of three stay in the manor, managed by Luo Xiaoyu, while he came to the Qinglin tribe's residence.
But after walking around, he found that the entire mountain range was still shrouded in thick fog, and there was no sign of the formation being activated. He wanted to find someone to report but could not find anyone, so he had no choice but to return.
Although the Qinglin tribe leader promised to give him nine more Lantern Fruits at the last Qinglin meeting, he did not give him any separate contact information and only gave him a scale similar to the one Qu Sanniang had.
In this case, if you want to contact the other party, you can only wait for the Qinglin Club to open.
