Chen Lin left the City Lord's Mansion and got the position of deacon elder.
However, he was not assigned any specific tasks, nor was he allowed to interact with anyone. He was just given an elder token and allowed to leave.
It was as if he was just putting his name on the list and announcing that he had joined Tianfeng City.
Chen Lin didn't know what the purpose of this Lord Lan was, but it was best that the other party didn't assign him any tasks. He didn't want to be entangled in these trivial matters and delay his practice.
"Where's Han Jinshan?"
When Chen Lin returned to the mansion, he didn't see Fatty Han, so he asked Xiaocao.
"He was afraid of the disaster his master had mentioned, so he said goodbye and left, saying he wanted to hide in another city."
Xiao Cao gave a brief answer, then came to Chen Lin and examined him carefully, and asked with concern: "Master, is there anything wrong with your talent origin?"
Chen Lin shook his head, touched the other person's head, and comforted him: "It's okay, it has recovered, but this innate magical power will probably be put aside in the future. I just felt that it was very difficult to use before, but I didn't expect it to have such a big impact on the source of talent."
It is indeed wonderful to spy on the fate of others, but my own origin is too weak to bear such a strong magical power for the time being.
Xiaocao had no idea about the situation and didn't want to find out. She only cared about Chen Lin's health. When she heard that Chen Lin had recovered from his injuries, she immediately felt relieved.
Chen Lin also knew that it would be embarrassing to discuss this issue with the other party, so he stopped talking and went back to the practice room to check his physical condition.
The main thing is to see whether this incident will affect the use of his original talents.
After a round of examination, he finally felt relieved.
The innate ability was not affected, but the effect was increased. Not only was the manifestation ability of the destiny line enhanced, but even a part of the main line of one's own destiny could be manifested.
However, the main plot is very vague and there are many nodes, which means that fate is constantly changing. If he wants to find out the context, his current ability is not enough to do it.
Even if he could do it, Chen Lin didn't dare to use it. He decided to just use this ability to help make items in the future. Not only would he bite off more than he could chew, he would also easily choke.
In a flash, five days passed.
Fatty Han has not returned yet. Chen Lin did not leave any communication talisman for him and could not contact him. He did not know whether he had escaped the disaster or was still alive.
He was quite concerned about this matter. After all, the other party was an acquaintance of his, and it also related to his judgment of talent and ability, so he planned to find someone to ask about the other party's whereabouts.
But before he could investigate, shocking news broke out in Tianfeng City.
An entrance to a secret realm was discovered in the ruins of the Creation Gate. In the secret realm, there were countless natural treasures, and there was also a huge spiritual medicine garden that produced many rare spiritual medicines!
Spiritual herbs and medicines are always the most needed things for cultivators. This discovery immediately made countless cultivators excited.
The ascetics who had been indifferent to the ruins before could no longer hold back and began to explore.
The major forces were in intense consultation to block the entrance to the secret realm, but they soon discovered that there was not only one entrance to the secret realm. As long as they used treasures such as the Boundary Breaking Talisman near the underground ruins, it was possible to enter.
If the blockade fails, we can only send more people to explore.
Yingyue Palace was no exception and directly sent a large number of high-level monks, led by Murong Qing herself, into the ruins.
Chen Lin was also very excited.
But he did not participate in it.
Such a large-scale secret treasure hunt, and not only the forces under the Yingyue Palace, but also other major forces and strong men from the Xuanyue Continent are involved. Once high-level elixirs are discovered, a battle is inevitable. His cultivation level is not enough.
Therefore, it would be better to use the identity of the deacon elder to trade with those who have returned from treasure hunting in the city.
Such a huge secret realm produces a huge amount of spiritual medicines. Not all cultivators are alchemists, so someone has to sell them. It just costs some spirit stones.
In addition, although he is a deacon elder in name only, he still has to do his part at this critical moment and be responsible for some trivial matters.
It's a good opportunity to take on some tasks of patrolling the city, so it's not like I'm doing nothing.
In the following days, Chen Lin became busy.
While patrolling the city, he kept an eye on the developments of the ruins, and at the same time contacted the monks who had returned from the ruins to exchange supplies.
Just as he expected, with the continuous development of the spiritual medicine garden, a large number of spiritual medicines flowed into Tianfeng City. He spent a lot of spirit stones and still acquired quite a few rare items.
Even some of the Lantern Fruit were received.
This made him overjoyed.
After more than ten years of investigation and evidence, he can now be sure that there is nothing wrong with the Vajra Body Refining Technique passed down to him by Niankong. It is a normal body refining technique and there is no cause and effect.
So he practiced again for a while.
The previously obtained Ran Deng Fruits were also refined into Golden Bodhisattva Pills, and had long been consumed, but it was still far from achieving the Golden Body.
He discovered that the further he used the Golden Buddha Pill to refine his golden body, the smaller the progress became.
When he was in Qianyuan City before, he still idealistically believed that as long as he could get a batch of Lantern Fruits from the Qinglin Clan, he would be able to complete the golden body. Now he realized that he was taking it for granted.
Let alone one batch, even if there were three or five batches, it would still be far from enough.
According to conservative estimates, we would need at least one hundred Ran Deng Fruits to have a hope of complete success.
So even though he was sure that there was no problem with the Vajra Body Refining Technique, Chen Lin did not hold out hope of achieving the Golden Body. After he had used up the previous Lamp Fruit, he put the practice on hold and did not waste time on it.
The Lantern Fruit is an extremely rare thing. It is possible to get ten or twenty of them, but it is impossible to get hundreds of them.
But if this thing exists in the secret realm of the Creation Gate, then there is a way out.
The spiritual medicine garden discovered this time is very large, and it is unknown how many tens of thousands of years it has been resting and recuperating. Once a certain type of spiritual medicine appears, there will not be just one or two plants, and the number must be considerable.
Chen Lin’s prediction was correct. In the next few days, he purchased a lot of Ran Deng Fruits, and the number exceeded one hundred.
Although this elixir is rare, its uses are also not widespread. Not many cultivators are willing to buy it at a high price. However, it has brought him considerable convenience.
With enough elixirs, Chen Lin immediately started refining the elixir and continued to push forward the completion of his golden body.
Once the golden body is fully developed, it is equivalent to entering the realm of transformation. When the magic power cultivation cannot be further improved in the short term, this is the fastest way to increase strength.
"Master, Steward He came to report that the young lady from the Yuan family wants to see you."
Chen Lin was refining the Golden Bodhi Pill in the practice room when Xiao Cao's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
He frowned, but stood up and walked out.
"Junior Yuan Hongying, greetings to the senior!"
In the living room, Yuan Hongying looked haggard and bowed deeply to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin looked at the other person and said calmly, "Didn't I tell you that although I was appointed as the deacon elder, I don't ask about the affairs in the city, so I can't help you with the Yuan family's affairs."
The Yuan family has recently had a conflict with a family of gods in the city because of the exploration of ruins. It seems that the situation is rather difficult. The other party came to him once a few days ago, but was rejected by him. He didn't expect that they would come again this time.
He did not want to get involved in such a meaningless power struggle, and as far as he knew, the family that had friction with the Yuan family had a deep relationship with Yingyue Palace, so he did not want to be involved.
Yuan Hongying said anxiously, "Senior, please don't be angry. I really have no other choice. My second uncle and cousin were captured by the Feng family. The Feng family said they would refine my second uncle into a corpse and make my cousin a cauldron. My family leader is afraid of the Feng family's power and dare not come forward. I have nowhere else to go and can only come to you with shameless beg. Please help me. I will repay you for your kindness by working like a slave!"
"The Feng family wants to capture your second uncle and they want to refine him into a corpse?"
Chen Lin looked at the other party suspiciously, feeling that it was unlikely.
No matter how overbearing the Feng family is, they can't act like this so blatantly in Tianfeng City. You have to know that Yingyue Palace is a famous and upright sect, and Murong Qing is in charge of the city. It is impossible for them to tolerate such a thing happening.
There must be something hidden behind this.
Yuan Hongying immediately said: "The Feng family did say so, but they didn't capture people in the city, but in the ruins."
Chen Lin showed a look of understanding.
It should be that the two sides were fighting for something in the ruins, so a war broke out, which led to this result, and it is estimated that the Feng family also suffered casualties.
There is nothing to say about this. The ruins are a public place and are not under the jurisdiction of Yingyue Palace. Fighting and killing are normal during the treasure hunt, and Yingyue Palace will not intervene. If you can't win over others, you can only say that you are not as skilled as others.
Thinking of this, he said calmly: "The fight in the ruins is not within the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion, so I can't do anything about this matter. You should ask your clan leader to find the powerful god-transforming master behind your Yuan family. As far as I know, your Yuan family pays tribute to that god-transforming master every year. If it's not used now, then when will it be used?"
After saying this, Chen Lin waved his hand, without giving the other party a chance to speak, and turned back to the inner courtyard.
Yuan Hongying opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing this, she could only leave with a sad face.
In the next few days, Chen Lin continued to refine the Golden Bodhi Pill and put Yuan Hongying's matter behind him.
As the elixir was continuously consumed, his golden body gradually became complete. At this moment, the head part had been refined, leaving only the last part of the heart.
At this point, with every improvement, Chen Lin could feel the huge change in his own strength.
He had a feeling that when his golden body was fully developed, the power of this body-refining technique would definitely exceed his imagination.
But just when he was about to use up all the remaining Golden Bodhisattva Pills in one go and make a final attack, an unexpected person suddenly came to visit him.
