"My name is Feng Jidao, nice to meet you, Elder Chen!"
An old man in a gray robe was standing in the yard. When he saw Chen Lin coming out, he immediately responded with a smile and spoke humbly.
There was a look of surprise in Chen Lin's eyes. He knew this person. He was the head of the Feng family who had conflicts with Yuan Hongying's family, a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
However, he had no connection with the other party, nor was he involved in the affairs of the Yuan family and their Feng family. Why did the other party suddenly come to him
With doubt in his mind, Chen Lin cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Master Feng. Please come in!"
The other party is a Jindan cultivator. Although his actual combat power is not weaker than the other party, the difference in cultivation level is there, so he still has to show respect.
After he led the other party to the living room and seated the host and guest, Chen Lin asked, "What is the purpose of Master Feng's visit?"
Feng Jidao immediately put a storage bag on the table and said with a smile, "I didn't know the relationship between the Yuan family woman and Elder Chen before, so I acted a little too aggressively. Now I come to apologize. I hope Elder Chen will not blame me for the fact that we are all working for Yingyue Palace."
Chen Lin frowned slightly, feeling that something must have happened that he didn't know the situation.
The other party's attitude was a little too humble, as if he was a Jindan cultivator and the other party was a Yuanying cultivator.
He hesitated for a moment and was about to refuse, but the other party stood up and said, "I came here today just to express my sincerity. In the future, we can have deeper cooperation in various aspects with Elder Chen. Although my Feng family is not a noble family, we have some connections in Tianfeng City. If Elder Chen needs it, I will do my best to help!"
Then, Feng Jidao bowed and said, "Elder Chen is busy with his work, so I won't bother you any more. If it's convenient some other day, please give me a chance to host you. I will definitely drink a few more cups with you!"
After saying this, he bowed and left without waiting for Chen Lin to reply.
Chen Lin was confused and immediately got up and left the mansion to go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the news.
Then I understood what was going on.
It turned out that when Murong Qing was on patrol, Yuan Hongying pretended to be his concubine and complained about her grievances, and was summoned by Murong Qing. Although Murong Qing did not say anything, did not offer any solution, and even let Yuan Hongying leave after just one meeting, the Feng family was still panicked.
Who is Murong Qing
Not only is he the disciple of Palace Master Lan Ruxue, he is also a Dao Yun-level expert. With just a flick of his finger, the entire Feng family would be reduced to ashes.
And although Murong Qing did not make a clear statement, Yuan Hongying was just an ordinary female foundation-building cultivator. She intercepted a Dao Yun strongman in the street, and not only was she not killed, but she was also allowed to meet him. This in itself is a very strong signal.
So after learning about the situation, the Feng family held a family meeting overnight, and then the head of the family, Feng Jidao, personally went to apologize with a valuable gift.
After Chen Lin learned the inside story, he suddenly became angry.
That Yuan Hongying actually took it upon herself to pretend to be his woman, and even found out about it on Murong Qing!
In this way, he would be dragged into the water directly. Murong Qing would probably think that he was taking advantage of the status of the deacon elder to stir up trouble and secretly gain some benefits!
"Elder Chen, Elder Murong is calling you!"
Chen Lin was about to leave the City Lord's Mansion to find Yuan Hongying. If the other party dared to do so, he would have to be prepared to bear the price. Although he was not a big shot, his reputation was not something he could borrow casually.
But before he could leave, he was stopped.
He could only follow the attendants into the inner palace to meet Murong Qing.
"Senior Murong, I just met Yuan Hongying by chance, and I have no relationship with the Yuan family. Please don't be deceived."
When he saw Murong Qing, Chen Lin immediately explained the whole story.
Although this is not a big deal, we cannot just take the blame.
Murong Qing waved her hands expressionlessly and said, "There is nothing to say about this matter. Since that girl said she is your woman, then no matter whether she was your woman before or not, she must be your woman now. Otherwise, the dignity of my Daoyun strongman must be maintained with the lives of all her family members. If you announce to the public now that you have no relationship with that girl, then no one in the Yuan family will survive, and no one can protect them without me doing anything!"
Chen Lin opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.
Since this matter involves the dignity of a Dao Yun master, it cannot be resolved in a normal way. Although he was angry at Yuan Hongying for impersonating his woman without permission, he could not bear to see her lose her life.
What's more, it will implicate the other party's entire family.
Regardless of what others say, Yuan Chengfang is quite good and has good vision. He once wanted to win him over to work for him.
Seeing Chen Lin's depressed look, Murong Qing sneered and said, "Don't try to take advantage of me. Don't I know you men? Few men can resist a woman who approaches them actively. You look down on her because she's not pretty enough, right?"
"I… "
Chen Lin's face was filled with black lines.
He really had no interest in Yuan Hongying at all, and ever since leaving the land of gods, he had deliberately kept his distance from female cultivators, not wanting to be involved with women anymore. The other party was really wronging him.
Murong Qing waved her hands and said, "Alright, why are you being so serious in front of me? I'm not your Taoist partner, and you don't have to worry about what the Palace Master thinks. Although our Yingyue Palace is a force centered on women, we are also very open and do not prohibit matters between men and women. Don't worry about this matter. I asked you to come here because I have another question for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately calmed down and said seriously, "Senior, please speak."
The matter that could make the other party call him here so solemnly must not be simple.
Murong Qing glanced at Chen Lin and suddenly said, "Last time in the dungeon, you used the Soul-Destroying Finger, right?"
Chen Lin's eyes flashed, and he nodded in acknowledgment: "Senior, you have a keen eye. That secret technique is indeed called Soul-Destroying Finger. Is there anything wrong with this secret technique?"
Back then in the dungeon, he still remembers the shocked expression on the other party's face after seeing him use the Soul-Destroying Finger. He always wanted to ask about it, but never had the chance. He didn't expect that the other party would ask about it himself now.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Murong Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "It's just that this secret technique has a very special origin. According to legend, anyone who can practice this technique has extremely special qualities. Moreover, this technique is the nemesis of evil spirits. Those who practice this technique will be targeted by evil spirits. You must be mentally prepared for this."
Chen Lin looked confused when he heard this.
Although this Soul-Destroying Finger is amazing, it doesn't seem that difficult to practice, and he doesn't feel that there is anything special about him.
Could it be related to his identity as a time traveler
But soul traveling across time, to put it bluntly, is just possession of another's body. When he first traveled through time, he thought it was a secret and tried every means to cover it up. But as his experience increased, he realized that possession of another's body was not a big deal among cultivators and it happened frequently. It was unlikely that this was the reason he successfully cultivated this technique.
Besides him, Mu Linglong also learned the Soul-Destroying Finger, so the other party was not a time traveler.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin felt that if practicing the Soul-Destroying Finger really required some special means, it was probably possessed by the Silver Fairy. The Silver Fairy's identity was also very mysterious. It should be that the other party's body infusion inheritance could directly meet the restrictions of practice, so both he and Mu Linglong were able to practice successfully.
He had thought about this before, and now he was even more certain of it.
At this time, Murong Qing spoke again.
"Okay, I don't want to know how you learned the Soul-Destroying Finger. I just want you to be able to use this secret technique. I need you to use this secret technique to help me with a favor."
Chen Lin's face changed.
The other party is a powerful Taoist master, and the matter he needs help with is probably not a trivial matter, and the danger level is definitely not low.
Murong Qing seemed to know what Chen Lin was thinking, and explained: "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. I just found a mysterious place in the Creation Secret Realm. There is a treasure there that is very important to me, but there are evil things guarding it. Because the environment suppresses magic power, I can't break through by myself. I want to borrow the power of your Soul-Destroying Finger to help suppress the evil things."
Seeing that Chen Lin still looked unhappy, she consoled him, "I will lead this operation myself, and there will be other strong men in the palace participating. I will not put you in danger. As long as you help me get the treasure, I will owe you a favor."
The other party had already said this. Chen Lin knew that he had no room to refuse. He could only grit his teeth and clasp his fists and said, "Senior, how can I not obey the call of the junior!"
"good!"
Murong Qing showed a look of satisfaction.
Then he said, "Then you should stay in the City Lord's Mansion for the next few days. I still need to make some preparations before I can leave."
After that, he took out another jade slip and handed it to Chen Lin, saying, "I heard that you are good at refining pills. Here is a special recipe obtained from the ruins. I will give it to you."
Chen Lin took the jade slip and was taken to the lounge with a heavy heart.
After standing in the lounge for a long time, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Some things really are beyond the control of personal will. He thought that since the ruins were discovered, he had been low-key and careful enough, and he didn't even step out of the city. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape the fate of entering the ruins.
But things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much, I can only take one step at a time and hope that the place the other party is talking about is not a desperate place.
Chen Lin collected his mind, and took a look at the line of his destiny. Seeing that there were no obvious signs of abnormality on the main line of his destiny, he shook his head and stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he focused his attention on the jade slip.
Then he was stunned.
The recipe in this jade slip was obviously copied in later, but the elixir recorded in the recipe is extraordinary!
