"Yu Guangyan, a disciple of the Crystal Clan, pays respect to Elder Chen!"
When Chen Lin arrived at the door, he saw a tall middle-aged man standing there. His exposed skin was as crystal clear as jade and emitting a faint glow.
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart that this crystal clan really could glow automatically just as the legend said.
"It's Brother Yu, please come in!"
Chen Lin didn't understand why the Crystal Clan people suddenly came to him, but he also happened to want to contact this race, so he invited them into the courtyard.
When he arrived at the guest hall and asked the servants to serve him some spiritual tea, he asked directly, "I wonder if Daoist Fellow Yu has anything to do with his visit this time?"
Yu Guangyan bowed and said, "I heard that Elder Chen has been buying items from the Demon Realm. He must be very experienced in exploring the Demon Realm. This time, our clan is going out to explore the alternate dimension. I have accepted the mission to explore the Demon Realm, so I am taking the liberty to come and visit you. I hope Elder Chen will not mind."
"oh?"
Chen Lin was surprised and said, "I heard that the nobles are keen on exploring different planes. Could it be that in addition to the demon world, they are also exploring other planes?"
Yu Guangyan smiled and said, "It seems that Elder Chen knows a little about our clan, but not much. Our clan has inherited the talent of space and is very good at finding nodes in other worlds, so we have always been very keen on exploring different planes."
After a pause, he continued, "However, our tribe is exploring the other planes and collecting resources is just a side job. Our goal is to find a way home."
"The way home, what do you mean, Fellow Daoist Yu?"
Chen Lin seemed to understand something and looked at the other party with a questioning look.
"good!"
Yu Guangyan did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Our Crystal Clan is not a race from this world. In fact, all the alien races in this world were pulled here from different planes when the Tianxuan Realm was broken and affected by the spatial shock!"
Seeing that Chen Lin was still in doubt, he explained, "The body structure of us aliens is different from that of you natives, and our cultivation methods are even more different. We are rejected by the will of heaven and earth, so today, most of us aliens have been annihilated in the long river of history, and those who have survived are just barely surviving, so we always want to return to our hometown."
Chen Lin nodded.
In fact, he had long guessed that these alien races were not from this world, but he could not figure out the specific reason. He did not expect that it was related to the destruction of the Tianxuan Realm.
However, the Tianxuan Realm was shattered tens of thousands of years ago, and we have not been able to go back for such a long time. It is estimated that the interface we are in is not directly connected to this world, or it has collapsed. These races are still looking for it, which is quite persistent.
At this time, Yu Guangyan spoke again: "I wonder to what extent Elder Chen has explored the Demon Realm. Has he encountered creatures from other planes with whom he can communicate normally?"
Chen Lin suddenly realized that this was the other party's real purpose.
The other party wanted to know from him whether he had encountered any life forms from the interface where their crystal clan was located, or projections related to the crystal clan, in the demon world. If so, they could establish a connection and find a way back.
This is the same as his idea, which is to use the Demon Realm as a transit station to go to other places.
After a pause, Chen Lin said, "To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Yu, I have been exploring the Demon Realm for a long time and have encountered many creatures from other planes that I can communicate with. However, I am not sure whether there are any creatures from the plane where your Crystal Clan is. After all, I did not inquire about the ideas of other planes before, so I did not ask questions in this regard."
Yu Guangyan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked anxiously, "Elder Chen, have you ever met someone who looks similar to our people? They may not be humanoid, but as long as the creature has crystallized skin, it may be related to our race."
Chen Lin thought for a while and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, although I have been to several demon world scenes, I have never encountered a creature with crystallized skin like Fellow Daoist Yu."
After a pause, he continued, "But after meeting Fellow Daoist Yu this time, I will definitely pay more attention when I explore the Demon Realm next time. I wonder if the realm where the nobles originally lived has a name, or if there are any items or people that people can associate with it as soon as they hear it?"
Yu Guangyan immediately replied: "The interface where our race is located is called the Crystal Boundary. The interface is not large, and there are not many races, but the characteristic of most races is that their skin is crystallized. If Elder Chen encounters one, please be sure to let me know. I will be very grateful."
After thinking for a while, he continued, "As for famous people and items, there are none. The Crystal Realm is just a small interface. No overly powerful people have appeared, and no special and powerful treasures have ever been born."
"Okay, I understand. If I have any information, I will tell my friends."
Chen Lin readily agreed, and then changed the subject, asking: "I wonder to what extent Fellow Daoist Yu and the nobles have explored the Demon Realm. Do you know where there is a node that can enter the Demon Realm in person?"
This is his purpose.
The other race has a talent for space and is keen on exploring other worlds, so they will definitely know the location of the demon world node.
Sure enough, Yu Guangyan nodded and said, "Of course I know this, but our tribe encountered a disaster during the migration, and the racial inheritance was interrupted, and a lot of key information was lost. The nodes we have now were all explored in the past thousand years or so, which is not too many, and I only know three Demon Realm nodes."
"Three is already a lot. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yu can tell me the locations of these three nodes. I am willing to exchange them with items of equal value!"
Chen Lin immediately made a request.
He also knew that with the talents and number of people of the Crystal Clan, it was impossible for them to only know three Demon Realm nodes after more than a thousand years of exploration. However, the other party would not announce the valuable scenes to the outside world, and the scenes corresponding to these three nodes should be of little value.
However, he did not want to gain any benefits from the scene, he just wanted to transfer to Hongshan Continent. He did not care whether the scene had rich resources or not, he only cared about whether there were many space nodes.
When Yu Guangyan heard Chen Lin’s request, she nodded readily.
"Since Elder Chen has asked, it is of course possible. However, only one of these three nodes is near Tianfeng City. The other two are farther away. One is in Cuiyun Mountain and the other is in Hongyue Sea. If Elder Chen wants to explore, it will be a hassle."
"in addition."
Yu Guangyan added: "The scene near Tianfeng City is very small and has been explored almost completely. There is nothing valuable there. The other two are extremely dangerous. Elder Chen must be prepared if you want to go. Our people lost a lot of manpower in these two scenes and did not obtain any valuable clues. We have not explored them again for more than a hundred years."
Chen Lin understood the other party's implication, which was that these three nodes were abandoned by the Crystal Clan.
The other party was quite honest and did not deliberately deceive in exchange for greater benefits. He was able to achieve this in their first dealings, which made him feel good about the Crystal Clan.
"Okay, I'm very interested in these three nodes. How do you think we should trade them, Brother Yu?"
Even if the Demon Realm node was abandoned, it still had some value. He didn't provide any help to the other party, so the other party wouldn't give it to him for free.
But Yu Guangyan waved her hand and said, "These three nodes are not of much value. How can I accept Elder Chen's things? As long as Elder Chen pays more attention to the information I care about when he explores the Demon Realm in the future, that will be enough."
"In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yu!"
Chen Lin did not act pretentiously and agreed readily.
Next, the two exchanged information about the demon world and the situation of these three nodes. Yu Guangyan also gave a detailed introduction, which made Chen Lin thank him repeatedly.
After chatting for a while and exchanging communication tokens with Chen Lin, Yu Guangyan stood up and said goodbye.
Chen Lin sent the other person out the door, watched him leave, then got up and went to the market town.
After some inquiries, he learned that the Crystal Clan had made a big fuss when they came out of the mountains. Many members of the clan were active outside, and he was not the only one visiting. Many cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage in the city had been contacted by members of the Crystal Clan.
This made him feel a little more at ease.
If he was the only one being visited, he would be a little nervous, thinking that the other party had some special purpose.
But if you cast a wide net, then there will be no problem.
After returning to his residence, Chen Lin took out a jade slip and began to check it. What was recorded in it were the locations of the three nodes in the demon world.
One of them is located above a lake about 3,000 miles north of Tianfeng City. The location is very easy to find, but this space node is very weak. If you don’t have a spatial sensing talent, you can’t find it at all.
Therefore, until now, only the Crystal Clan members knew about this node.
However, this node was discovered relatively early and has been explored by the Crystal Clan. According to Yu Guangyan, there is a small village inside with about thirty houses, but they are all dilapidated and there are no people or creatures.
The house is just an ordinary thatched house. There is nothing special inside, and there is no internal space.
The entire village has been thoroughly explored, and is surrounded by a circle of high earth walls. It is impossible to vacate the village or even climb up high, so the situation outside cannot be seen.
If you want to leave the village, there is only a wooden gate, but the pass below level three cannot pass through the barrier, and you can't see what's outside.
Chen Lin was a little disappointed.
In such a scenario, it is basically impossible for other space nodes to exist, and the Crystal Clan also has a second-level guide and cannot break through the village's barriers, so he naturally cannot do it.
According to Yu Guangyan, the entire Crystal Clan has three road passes, one level two and two level one, while the other party only has one level one. If they want to use the level two road pass, they have to apply to the clan.
He didn't know whether what the other party said was true or not, but he didn't have the nerve to bring up the idea of buying a pass from the other party.
As for the magic coins, he also hinted at it, but from what the other party said, the Crystal Clan didn't have many, and even asked him if he had any extra, and if so, the Crystal Clan was willing to buy them.
From this, it seems that this crystal clan has not made deep explorations into the demon world.
After all, the other party's main purpose is to explore the alternate dimension and find a way home, not to explore the demon world specifically. His understanding of the demon world is probably not as good as his.
"Anyway, let's go check out the nearby nodes first!"
Chen Lin put away the jade slip and muttered to himself.
