Three months later.
In an underground secret room on an unknown island.
Chen Lin carefully took a small grass out of the spiritual liquid, planted it in a jade box filled with spiritual soil, and then watered it with ten thousand year old spiritual milk.
After finishing, hold the jade box under a hole and let the sunlight shining through the hole shine on it.
Then he stared blankly.
After a long time, he suddenly seemed to remember something and took out another item from the demon world, which was the wooden sculpture, and placed it next to the jade box.
Feeling the faint atmosphere of the demon world, he nodded. This way he could indeed simulate the living environment of the demon world.
Finally, Chen Lin sighed and sat down on the ground dejectedly.
He thought that Xiaocao would be seriously overdrawn after using that sword, but he didn't expect that it would directly turn back into the state of a grass!
What made him even more heartbroken was that after turning back into grass, its vitality was still withering. Even though it was kept soaked in spiritual liquid, the leaves on the top began to turn yellow.
This made Chen Lin very panicked and at a loss as to what to do.
A few days ago, he was on a routine inspection of the surrounding environment and happened to meet some monks who were hunting monsters on the sea. He exchanged some spiritual soil with them and thought of trying to cultivate it to see if it would be effective.
If it really doesn't work, he can only go to the Wanhua Valley in the Demon Realm, where Xiaocao transformed into a human form. He hopes that the woman in gorgeous clothes can find a way.
But I guess there's little hope.
Niu Niu has no deterrent effect on that woman. Under the restrictions of the rules of the demon world, it is impossible for the other party to help.
Even if he was willing to help, he couldn't afford the payment.
Moreover, he had less than a hundred magic coins on him, which was not enough to pay the penalty for failing the "Scent of Beauty". After he went there, he could only use the forced luck technique to go fishing.
If you fish successfully, you will live; if you continue fishing, you will suffer the consequences.
If he fails, he and the grass will die together.
Even their sanity was wiped out and they turned into flowers and plants in the canyon.
Chen Lin sighed again, shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and began to check his body.
This incident not only turned Xiaocao back into grass, but also caused him serious injuries.
The Nascent Soul had completely disappeared, so it was naturally impossible to maintain the Nascent Soul cultivation. He couldn't even keep the Golden Core and fell directly back to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
In addition, the soul was split in half and its origin was severely damaged.
It can be said that this action directly turned his more than a hundred years of hard training into nothingness.
But compared to Xiaocao, this is nothing to him. Although his cultivation has dropped, his experience and state of mind are still there. It is only a matter of time before he can cultivate it back again.
There is no need to worry about the origin of the soul.
This level of injury would be a terminal illness for other people, but it was very simple for him. The Soul-Restoring Pills stored in his body were enough to restore him to normal, and it also only took some time. However, he was able to get rid of the entanglement of the demon species and get rid of a major worry.
However, I have to be more careful in the days to come. My cultivation is low now and my soul power has been greatly weakened. If I encounter powerful monks and monsters, my life may be in danger at any time.
After completing the inspection, Chen Lin took out the pill and swallowed it, practicing while thinking.
According to the information he had learned, this Dao domain was very large, half of it was land and the rest was ocean.
Because there are many monsters in the ocean and there are not many good spiritual veins, most monks live on land. Only when the Holy Skeleton Ship is about to appear will some monks who want to board the ship come to the island to wait.
At this moment, the holy ship had just appeared, there were only a few monks on the sea, and the backlash of bad luck had passed, so he decided to stay here and not change locations.
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.
Every morning, Chen Lin would routinely check on Xiao Cao's condition, infuse it with spiritual milk, adjust the intensity of the demonic energy, and then let it bathe in the morning sun under the reserved hole.
One day after another.
Finally, his hard work paid off. During an inspection, Chen Lin found that the withered part of the grass was beginning to revive again, which made him pleasantly surprised.
So I became more careful.
As time went by, the leaves of the grass became more and more vibrant, and even a sword-like aura emerged.
In addition, the progress of cultivation is also advancing by leaps and bounds.
Recultivating is not the first time, so it is much easier. Not only does the bottleneck no longer exist, there is no need to waste time comprehending the skills, and the things that need to be paid attention to in the process cannot be clearer.
Everything will come naturally.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
Even the essence of the soul recovered very quickly, and it is estimated that it will take much less time than expected to fully recover.
But there is also bad news.
That is, shortly after the end of his bad luck, Chen Lin thought about going to Duyun Lake to fish for another treasure chest to see if he could get the treasure that could restore Xiaocao.
But I didn’t expect that Duyun Lake was closed!
You can still get out of the grove, but the entire lake is covered in a layer of light, making it impossible to get close, let alone fish.
At the edge of the woods, there is a sign with the words "Fishing suspended due to lake repairs" written on it.
Chen Lin had a feeling that this was written for him. It was probably because of him, a man who relied on the power of luck to cheat in fishing, that the other party suffered heavy losses. However, due to Niu Niu's existence, the other party did not dare to do anything to him, so they simply closed the lake.
This left him at a loss for words.
With such a big lake, is it really all that is needed is the fish he catches
But no matter what, since it was already closed, he had no way of getting the golden toad to open it, so he could only leave in frustration.
But in this case, there would be no channel to obtain the things of luck, and even if he left this space, he would most likely appear in the South Star Realm. If he wanted to return to the North Star Realm to find the Tianyun Sect, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait.
Chen Lin was very depressed.
There are really too few items that bring luck, and they are essential items for him, otherwise his innate abilities would be severely restricted.
However, for the time being, his demand for luck items is not too great, because after using the luck ball, his luck storage limit has increased a lot, and he only needs to use his own luck to meet his daily needs.
So he slowly calmed down and stopped worrying about it.
Besides, he didn't believe that the golden toad could keep sealing the Gambling Lake forever. Sooner or later, he would have to start over. He just had to keep an eye on it.
In the following days, he entered into a monotonous and hard training. Except for occasionally coming out to inspect the surrounding environment, Chen Lin practiced in the secret room.
If I have some free time, I will study some of the items on my body that I don’t understand.
The main one among them is the fairy ring.
This thing is undoubtedly a storage device. If it can be opened, there may be something inside that can help Xiaocao recover into a human as soon as possible.
Yes, even if the immortal's spirit has disappeared, the mark on it remains intact, and no matter what means he uses, it will be useless.
Finally I had no choice but to give up.
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the island was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
The surrounding sea beasts fled in panic, fearing that they would be affected by the heavenly punishment, but some higher-level monsters hovered around, eyeing those who were undergoing the tribulation covetously.
Chen Lin stood on the island, looking up at the sky indifferently.
After five years, he finally reached the level of breaking through the golden elixir and was able to condense the golden elixir again.
In fact, his cultivation had already reached the peak of foundation building. After all, he had countless elixirs on him, but the origin of his soul had not yet recovered, which held him back.
Yesterday, the essence of his soul was finally restored, and he immediately couldn't wait to begin to overcome the tribulation.
Without a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, one cannot use magic weapons and spiritual treasures. Although one has the support of soul skills, one is still restricted in doing things, which is very inconvenient.
There was a loud bang and thunder fell.
But Chen Lin was not in a hurry and just responded casually.
The three golden elixir tribulation thunders had no deterrent effect on him at all. Even though he couldn't use the Black Tortoise Shield, he took it easily and tempered his body at the same time.
The inner demon didn't even appear.
When the thunder dissipated, Chen Lin felt proud. Although his cultivation level had declined, he had broken free from the shackles of the demon. From then on, he could go into battle with ease and no longer had to worry all the time.
From the perspective of gains and losses, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"Um?"
Suddenly, his brows moved and he looked towards the sea beside him.
I saw a huge crab breaking through the waves, its two big golden claws shining in the sunlight, emitting strong energy fluctuations.
"Haha, you came just in time. I'll grab some to enjoy today!"
Chen Lin laughed loudly, his body flew into the air, and at the same time he released the Thunder Sword. The sword light carried the breath of thunder and turned into a huge streak that slashed down!
The giant crab at the peak of the third stage didn't even have a chance to react before it was split into two and caught by the giant energy hand that Chen Lin conjured up, and then taken to the island.
There were several monsters around that were ready to make a move, but they immediately scattered. A fourth-level monster that had been hiding in the sea far away also showed a look of fear when it saw this, and turned around to swim towards the bottom of the sea.
Chen Lin shook his head. He had originally thought of sitting back and waiting before hunting a few more monsters, but he didn't expect that these monsters were very smart. He was too lazy to chase them and ignored them.
He lit a ball of fire, grilled the best parts of the crab, and then ate it with relish.
Feeling that eating without food was not enough, he took out a bottle of spirit wine from his storage bag and drank it while eating.
When he was a little tipsy, he looked at the container of wine and the images of his wife and daughter appeared in his mind.
There was a look of longing in his eyes.
This wine is the Hundred Flowers Wine brewed by the Hundred Flowers Fairy. It is not only sweet and refreshing, but can also improve the cultivation of cultivators and benefit their souls.
But the alcohol is very strong. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would get drunk after drinking one pot.
This wine was a wedding gift from the Fairy of Flowers to him and Luo Qinglan. Luo Qinglan was reluctant to drink it herself, so she gave it to him. He kept it, planning to drink it with his wife and daughter on the day they reunited. He was happy today and drank half a pot first.
After eating and drinking, Chen Lin packed up his things, put the jade box containing the grass into his space bag, and left the island where he had lived for more than five years.
Then, he found some stones, wrapped Niankong’s robes in them, and sank directly into the mud on the seabed.
The Demon-Suppressing Ring was also thrown away.
All the items related to the Demon-Suppressing Temple were thrown away.
At this moment, he finally severed the cause and effect of the past and was reborn!
Finally, he changed his appearance and flew towards the land.
