"Brother Han, is it true that Yingyue Palace is composed entirely of female cultivators, without a single male cultivator?"
On the official road, a huge caravan was moving slowly forward. Chen Lin was riding on a horse with two curved horns and talking to a fat middle-aged man next to him.
This caravan was transporting the same spiritual beast that he rode, called a spiritual horse. Although its rank was very low, it had a unique ability. After swallowing spiritual grains, it could breed a spiritual bead that could be used in many fields.
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Fatty Han showed a look of longing and said, "Yes, not only is there not a single male cultivator, but the female disciples chosen by this sect are all stunningly beautiful, and their skills have the effect of preserving youth, so the fairies of Yingyue Palace are the Taoist companions that all male cultivators dream of."
"oh."
Chen Lin nodded.
Yingyue Palace is the power of Queen Lan and is very famous in the Xuanyue Continent.
Queen Blue is called Lan Ruxue, a powerful person at the ninth level of Dao Yun. It is said that her strength is terrifying and she can be called the number one person under the Dao in Xuan Yue Continent.
In addition to the other party himself, Yingyue Palace also has several powerful Void Refining masters and dozens of Spirit Transformation cultivators. It is a well-deserved large sect.
However, Chen Lin was just asking around and had no intention of going to Yingyue Palace to build relationships.
When he first came into contact with the other party, he had the appearance of a woman. Now that he has become a man, it is hard to say whether the other party will still have the same attitude as before.
"Why, Fellow Daoist Chen, are you also thinking about the fairies in Yingyue Palace? Those female cultivators are very picky and difficult to approach. I think it's better for you to follow that one."
Fatty Han pointed at a female cultivator on horseback in front of him and said jokingly.
The female cultivator seemed to have sensed something, she looked back, then stopped her horse, and when Chen Lin approached, she immediately said in an expectant tone: "Brother Chen, we will soon arrive at Tianfeng City. After you complete the task, I will invite you to the Spiritual Food Pavilion. I know a Spiritual Food Pavilion that tastes very good."
"No need."
Chen Lin shook his head and spoke calmly.
The female cultivator's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she pouted her lips and stopped talking.
Fatty Han immediately laughed when he saw this, "Haha, Miss Yuan, I can go even if Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't want to go. Otherwise, you can treat me. I will definitely not refuse."
"Go to hell!"
The female cultivator glared at Fatty Han fiercely, then spurred her horse and ran to the front.
Fatty Han shook his head and muttered, "Women always judge people by appearance. They don't know the good points of a fat guy like me."
Then he looked at Chen Lin and said, "Brother Chen, the Yuan family is quite powerful in Tianfeng City. You are only at the middle stage of foundation building at such a young age. You might as well make do with this Miss Yuan. Maybe with the financial resources of the Yuan family, you can have a chance to reach the Golden Core Realm!"
After a pause, he continued to persuade: "Although this Miss Yuan is average looking and her talent is not very good, she is a good person and really likes you. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to meet such a person in the future. Although the fairy in Yingyue Palace is stunningly beautiful, she is just a castle in the air after all."
Chen Lin glanced at the shadow of the huge city emerging in the distance, smiled and said, "Thank you for your sincere words, Brother Han, but I already have a Taoist partner."
"You, have a Taoist partner?"
Fatty Han was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "Then why are you teasing that little girl? That's so unkind!"
Chen Lin spread his hands and said helplessly: "When did I flirt with her? I didn't take the initiative to talk to her along the way!"
Fatty Han paused and recalled what Chen Lin had said. He was shocked.
Then he said angrily: "How are you stronger than Han? You are just more muscular. Why don't any female cultivators take the initiative to throw themselves into my arms?"
"Ha ha!"
Chen Lin laughed and said, "Romance luck is also luck. Your luck is not good."
We finally arrived at Tianfeng City.
Although this city is very majestic, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized city on the Xuanyue Continent and is under the jurisdiction of Yingyue Palace.
After handing over the task to the leader of the caravan, Chen Lin ignored Miss Yuan's resentful look and left the caravan directly, wandering alone in the city.
He first took a look at the situation of the entire city, then rented a cave and began to practice in seclusion.
At this time, ten years had passed since he left Yuexuan Mountain.
During the past ten years, he walked and stopped, practicing while traveling, and his footprints covered countless cities, but he did not find any news about Luo Qinglan.
However, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not to mention the entire Xingnan Realm, even the Xuanyue Continent is extremely vast, with hundreds of millions of cultivators. It is not easy to find an unknown person among them.
So he gradually let go of his obsession and became calmer.
Every time he arrived at a place, he would recruit two contracted slaves, leave portraits and teleportation talismans of Luo Qinglan and others, and then ask the slaves to help keep an eye on them so as not to delay their training too much.
In this way, the speed of cultivation has increased a lot, and now I have reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage and can try to break through.
In the cave.
Chen Lin closed his eyes tightly, and traces of lightning continued to move up and down his body, and the energy fluctuations continued to rise.
Soon, his breath reached its peak, and he rolled his tongue and swallowed the pill in his mouth.
The stagnant energy increased again.
Then, his body trembled and a terrifying aura exploded instantly, shaking all the items in the cave to the ground.
After a long time, Chen Lin finally took back the terrifying aura into his body, and opened his eyes with a strange look on his face.
This time, the breakthrough to the middle stage of Nascent Soul was surprisingly smooth!
He had originally prepared two backup plans, but neither of them were used. Just a pill to assist in breaking through the bottleneck was enough to make it happen, which made him a little unbelievable.
You know, when he was in Qianyuan City, he attacked countless times, but always ended in failure.
Feeling the tremendous magic power in his body, Chen Lin's mind moved, and a fat baby emerged from the top of his head.
At this time, the Nascent Soul was not only bigger, but also much more agile. There was a smile between his eyebrows, and he was holding a mini sword in his chubby little hands.
It’s the Thunder Sword!
"rise!"
The Yuanying spoke in human language, threw the Thunder Sword forward, then flew onto it and flew excitedly in the cave.
Sometimes he went up and sometimes he went down, sometimes he rushed left and right, and from time to time he cast some small spells, making the cave a mess.
After a long time, the Nascent Soul stopped tiredly, jumped off the flying sword, and returned to Chen Lin's body.
Chen Lin also took the Thunder Sword in his hand and began to ponder.
The level of this flying sword is a bit low for him now, mainly due to the influence of the refining materials. No matter how it is nurtured, it cannot reach the level of a spiritual treasure.
So this time he planned to stay in Tianfeng City for a while longer, try to find some high-level thunder attribute materials, refine the Thunder Sword again, and then carry out the work of creating creatures.
In addition to the Thunder Sword, he also had a broken spiritual treasure, the Immortal Refining Gourd, which also needed to be repaired.
After so many years of research, he has almost figured out the method of refining the Immortal Gourd. Perhaps he cannot refine it due to the limitation of his technique, but he can still repair it. He just hasn't found the materials yet.
Although Tianfeng City is not a super big city, its resource trading is very prosperous. He had heard of the name of Tianfeng Market a long time ago and came here because of its reputation.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin calmed his mind and began to consolidate his cultivation.
"Um?"
As soon as I got into the state, I felt something in my heart and hurriedly got up and walked towards a room inside.
When you open the door, you will see the grass bathed in the sun emitting a bright glow, and increasingly stronger life waves are emerging!
"Owner!"
Before Chen Lin could get close, he saw a flash of light, and the petite body of the grass appeared, standing prettily in the flowerpot. Then it jumped down and walked in front of him like an elf.
Chen Lin took out a robe with trembling hands and gently put it on the man. Then he touched the man's head and whispered, "It's good that you're alive. Don't try so hard next time."
"Yes, Master!"
The grass remains obedient.
But Chen Lin knew that when danger came, the other party would still rush forward to stand before him regardless of his own safety.
"Hahaha, I'm happy today. My little grass has been reborn. We must celebrate. Let's go and see the high-end spiritual food here!"
Chen Lin was happier that Xiaocao was resurrected than when he had broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He immediately packed up and walked out of the cave with Xiaocao.
Celebration is secondary. The main reason is that the grass has been stuck in the pot for so many years, and it must be the first to appreciate the colorful outside world.
Tianfeng City is a large market town with shops everywhere and small stalls and vendors in every nook and cranny.
However, when buying things at a street stall, you have to rely on your eyesight. If you get cheated, there is no place to seek justice. The management of Yingyue Palace is laissez-faire and there are no strict rules. That is why many cultivators are willing to come here to trade.
The two walked around for a long time and then came to a magnificent spiritual food pavilion.
"Hey, Brother Chen!"
As soon as he reached the door, Chen Lin saw Miss Yuan walking out with several men and women.
The other person also saw him and immediately came up to greet him excitedly, but when he saw the grass beside him, he suddenly became depressed.
"Haha, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see Miss Yuan again so soon."
Chen Lin smiled and responded casually.
Since you cannot accept the other person, there is no need to give him or her any thoughts.
"Hongying, who is this senior?"
At this time, a middle-aged man from behind walked up and asked.
Then he immediately clasped his fists and bowed to Chen Lin, saying, "I am Yuan Chengfang, Yuan Hongying's second uncle. Nice to meet you, senior!"
"senior?"
Yuan Hongying on the side showed a puzzled look, but when she sensed it and found that the aura of Chen Lin became as deep as the sea, her expression suddenly changed.
His voice was trembling as he said, "Brother Chen, no, Senior Chen, I don't know..."
Chen Lin waved his hand to interrupt the other party.
"It's okay. I was the one who hid my cultivation level before, which caused you to have some misunderstandings. Don't worry. I won't blame you."
After saying that, he nodded to the middle-aged man, then took Xiaocao into the Lingshi Pavilion.
Yuan Hongying stood there in a daze, as if she couldn't believe the change in Chen Lin's identity.
"Hongying, how did you get to know this senior? Tell me about it."
The middle-aged man felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked his niece.
Although their Yuan family also has Nascent Soul cultivators, or even more than one, and has the support of powerful Spiritualization masters, they do not want to make enemies for nothing.
By this time Yuan Hongying had recovered. She knew that there was a huge gap in status between her and Chen Lin, and she no longer had any unrealistic fantasies, so she told him everything.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
If this is the case, then it’s nothing. If you handle it well, you may be able to establish a relationship with the other party.
He looked at his niece and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. His niece's appearance and aptitude were a little lacking. Otherwise, even if she became a concubine of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be better than finding an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator and wasting her life.
The other party's qualifications are too poor, and the family has long given up on training him. He has absolutely no hope of forming a pill if he only relies on himself to earn resources.
He turned his head to look at the Spiritual Food Pavilion behind him, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Chen Lin asked for a top-notch private room, ordered a large table of precious spiritual food, and had a delicious meal with Xiao Cao.
Of course, most of it was eaten by him. Xiaocao actually didn't eat much. Although his body structure was the same as a normal person after he transformed into a human form, he was not very interested in food.
However, since Chen Lin was happy with the food, she was happy too, and even drank a glass of spirit wine, and her little face turned red.
After eating and drinking, the two went out of the city to play for half a day before returning to the cave.
In the following days, Chen Lin practiced while looking for some low-level cultivators with good character to serve as his contracted servants. He also spent a large amount of money to buy a courtyard-style cave.
This city has good conditions in all aspects, and it has the protection of Yingyue Palace, so it is a good place for cultivation. He plans to settle down here.
After traveling for more than ten years, Chen Lin decided to settle down. It would be unlikely to find anyone if he searched like a headless fly, and Luo Qinglan might not be on this continent, so it was more important to improve his cultivation first.
If he were a powerful person in the Hedao realm, his reputation would be so great that his wife and daughter would hear of his name wherever they go and would come to him.
On the contrary, with his current level of cultivation, even if he found his wife and daughter, he would not be able to guarantee their safety.
So he decided not to break the spirit and stop searching blindly for people.
"Master, someone sent a gift!"
The courtyard had been tidied and Chen Lin had just moved in when the indentured servant in charge came to report.
This surprised him a bit.
Although his purchase of the garden was not carried out in secret, it was not publicized either, and no one should have known about it.
The most important thing is that he has no acquaintances in Tianfeng City. Who would send him a gift
When I arrived at the front yard with doubts, I saw a middle-aged man standing there respectfully with several exquisite boxes in front of him.
"Yuan Chengfang greets you, Senior. I heard that you moved to a new house, so the head of the family specially sent me to come and congratulate you. Please forgive me for my intrusion!"
The person who came was Yuan Hongying's second uncle.
Chen Lin glanced at the other person, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "You are so thoughtful. Go back and tell your master that I thank you for your kindness and I will visit you someday."
It is a good idea to extend a hand to someone who smiles at you. Since he decided to live here permanently, he also needed some connections, so he did not refuse.
As for the other family's purpose, it was nothing more than wanting to win him over because they saw that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator. As a family mainly engaged in business, they naturally wanted to be good at networking, and the more high-level cultivators they made friends with, the better.
Seeing Chen Lin accept the gift, Yuan Cheng's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. If you have any requests, just let me know."
After saying this, he bowed and left.
