Chen Lin landed the flying boat on the ground and stopped to watch.
The situation of the ancient ruins is similar to what we have found out. There is no need for further confirmation of such an obvious abnormality.
"Are you all ready? If you are, go in. I will wait here for three months. If anyone comes out alive, activate the communication talisman I gave you, and I will immediately find you through directional sensing. If you come out after this time, find a place to hide and wait for me to pick you up!"
Chen Lin looked at the group of old cultivators and gave them final instructions.
The old monks all had determined looks on their faces, and no one showed any intention of backing down.
Everything had been arranged before departure. The reward was guaranteed by the shopkeeper of Ruyi Pavilion and had been placed in Ruyi Pavilion. There was also a spiritual contract to bind them, so they had no worries.
Everyone silently clasped their fists to Chen Lin, walked into the ruined city wall, and slowly disappeared.
After waiting outside for more than an hour, Chen Lin put away the spirit boat, then found a hidden place and asked Zhou Shiwu to open a simple cave, while he checked the surrounding environment.
The inspection was completed and the cave was opened up.
He set up several magic arrays and asked Zhou Shiwu to be in charge of vigilance while he entered the training room to prepare for his retreat.
"Master, can Fat Tiger and I go into the ruins to take a look?"
Xiao Cao followed him into the practice room and made suggestions.
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "No hurry, let's see if this group of people can come out alive first. The ruins cover the land of a country, which is very vast. We also have to deal with the mutated survivors of the ancient country inside. One or two people will not be of much use."
He had the idea of letting Xiaocao and Fat Tiger enter the ruins a long time ago.
Because of the special connection between him and the two, it is very helpful for exploring such difficult ruins. As long as they don't die inside, they can be brought out at any time through the demon world.
Especially Fat Tiger, who has an immortal body, is more suitable.
But the ruins of the ancient country are too huge, and the role that one person can play inside is limited. Looking for people is not like fighting. Given Xiaocao and Fat Tiger's dull personalities, he really doesn't think it will work.
Letting the two move on their own, Chen Lin first checked the spoils of the gray-robed old man.
Two storage bags, a black snake rapier, and a black bead the size of a thumb.
The Black Snake Rapier is the opponent's natal flying sword, and the name of the Black Snake True Lord comes from this. This sword is quite magical and has reached the level of spiritual treasure, and the level is not low, it is almost the same as the spiritual transformation.
Unfortunately, this item is my natal flying sword, and its level will be greatly reduced if I refine it again. It will be fine if it does not fall below the spiritual treasure level, but if it falls below the spiritual treasure level and becomes an ordinary magic weapon, it will be of no use.
The black round bead is indeed a treasure. Although it is not a spiritual treasure, it is rarer than a spiritual treasure. If he is not mistaken, it should be a very high-level lightning-proof bead.
This thing is the nemesis of thunder spells and is extremely rare. He has only seen it in classics and has never encountered it in real life. He didn't expect to run into it here.
If it weren't for the fact that the level of thunder power of the Thunder God's Sword was too high, beyond the restraint range of this item, he really wouldn't be able to kill the opponent. It was probably because of this item that the opponent was so confident in killing him, a thunder-attributed cultivator, and was less guarded against the attacks of the Thunder God's Sword.
Chen Lin studied the lightning beads carefully, thinking about how to deal with such items.
All things are interdependent and mutually restrained. Since this thing can restrain the power of thunder, there must be something that can restrain it. However, after thinking about it for a long time, I still can't think of it. I can only wait and read the classics to find out later.
At the same time, he also secretly warned that his means of dealing with the enemy should not be too single, otherwise he would be restricted when encountering such situations.
After putting away the lightning beads, Chen Lin began to check the storage bag.
Just the first one made him look surprised.
This storage bag is filled with all kinds of rare treasures!
For a powerful realm master in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, these reserves were not much, but they enriched the quantity and variety of his spiritual medicines. He had consumed a lot recently and they were almost running out.
There are nearly a hundred kinds of elixirs, all packaged in special medicine boxes, so that none of the medicinal power escapes.
This made Chen Lin feel very confused. There was no alchemy furnace or things related to alchemy in the other party's storage bag, which meant that he was not an alchemist. He didn't know why he could store so many elixirs but not too many spiritual crystals.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was very likely that the other party had recently explored some secret realm or ruins, and had not had time to deal with the gains from it.
But soon, this doubt was answered in the second storage bag.
"Intoxicating wine!"
Chen Lin held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and read the contents on it.
After a long time, he put the bamboo slips down, and a strange look appeared on his face.
This is a recipe for brewing spiritual wine. Judging from the name, it seems to be a kind of strong liquor that can even make gods drunk. In fact, the function of this wine is to assist in the advancement to the realm of refining emptiness.
When trying to reach the Void Refining Realm, drinking this wine can increase your success rate to a certain extent, but no more than 10%.
Don't think that this effect is very low. You must know that the higher the level of cultivation, the fewer external objects can assist in impacting the realm. Until now, he has never heard of any elixir or spiritual object that can increase the chance of being promoted to the realm of refining emptiness. This Drunken God Wine is the first!
Refining the Void is the transformation from the real to the virtual, from the 'tangible' cultivation of the physical body to the 'intangible' cultivation of spiritual consciousness. After success, one can achieve formlessness and selflessness, thus breaking through the void.
According to the description on the wine recipe, this wine can soothe the sensitivity of all parts including the Nascent Soul, the Soul, the physical body, etc., reduce the horrific pain during the process of becoming virtual, and allow the cultivator to concentrate.
A recipe that can improve one's advancement to the realm of refining emptiness is priceless.
But unfortunately, this Bhutanese recipe is a wine recipe, and it is not easy for him to refine it.
Winemaking and alchemy seem to be in the same series, but in fact there is a huge difference between them. A slight mistake can lead to a huge error.
The reason why he still has a little confidence is because of his innate ability, otherwise there would be no possibility of success.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin's mind moved, and the line of destiny appeared in his mind.
But he immediately dispelled it.
The lines can be manifested, but they are cut off, which means that if he acts now, there is absolutely no possibility of brewing the spirit wine, and there is no room to correct the lines of fate.
If you want to change the situation, you can only study the wine recipes and learn the skills of winemaking.
Chen Lin put the bamboo slips away. He didn't have time to learn this now. Besides, he was just in the initial stage of transformation and it was still too early for him to use this wine. There was no rush.
But the appearance of Jiu Fang made him understand why Lord Black Snake wanted to kill him.
The other party probably wanted to ask the tavern owner's help in brewing wine, but he didn't expect that he got the chance to make requests, so he came here in a rage for revenge.
He even suspected that another middle-aged man who participated in the auction was also an accomplice of the other party, and there should be another accomplice. If the first three places were taken by the other party, the wine-making would be secure. He didn't expect that he, Cheng Yaojin, would appear halfway.
He directly offered fifty spirit crystals, raising the price too high, and he looked determined to win, so the opponent did not continue to compete. After all, the Fairy Tavern had existed for hundreds of years, and there were plenty of opportunities to bid like this. There was no need to waste spirit crystals and be a sucker, and the probability of being the one chosen by the two was not small.
But man proposes, God disposes. After he modified the fate line and a colorful light appeared, the proprietress actually announced the closure of the tavern!
In this way, the other party will have no chance to make wine. There are few winemakers, and this level of spirit wine is not something that ordinary people can brew. It would be strange if the other party is not angry.
After thinking about all this, Chen Lin could only sigh that it was all about fate.
If he hadn't come to Baiyu City during this period of time, perhaps he would have successfully obtained the boss lady's position, brewed the Drunken God Wine, and even succeeded in being promoted to the Refining Void realm in the future!
But everything changed because of him.
No.
Not because of him, but because of his innate ability—destiny!
Although he did not directly modify the other party's fate trajectory, the other party's fate was changed because he corrected his own fate line.
Chen Lin suddenly had an epiphany and gained a new understanding of fate, as well as new ideas on how to use his talents.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses and continue checking the storage bag.
A well-known high-level monk who is also a merchant's patron. There are many good things in his storage bag, many of which Chen Lin doesn't even recognize, and he needs to find someone to identify them to determine their value.
There were a lot of things, but no other spiritual treasures. I don't know if they were sold to collect spiritual medicines, or if they were not needed in the first place. All his heart and soul were focused on the black snake sword.
Finally, Chen Lin took out a ball the size of a fist!
This sphere looks a little irregular, with bumps on the surface, but it carries a hint of the power of destiny.
He is extremely sensitive to the power of luck and will definitely not make a mistake.
Chen Lin's expression became serious.
All items related to luck are extraordinary. He has been looking for treasures in this area for a long time, trying to get rid of his dependence on the gambling lake, but to no avail.
Originally, there had been some clues about the Tianyun Sect in the Northern Wilderness Continent of the Northern Star Realm, but by some strange combination of circumstances he came to the Southern Star Realm, and that line was broken. It is hard to say whether it can be continued again.
If this thing can solve the problem of his lack of luck power, then he will really make a profit this time.
With anticipation, Chen Lin first carefully examined the sphere, and only began his research after making sure there was no danger.
More than ten days passed.
Chen Lin walked out of the training room with a look of joy on his face, inspected the area around the cave again, then explored the edge of the ruins for a while before returning to the cave.
After turning around like this, his mood calmed down and he took the ball in his hand to look at it.
After half a month of research and experimentation, he has now mastered the purpose of this thing, which is to accumulate the power of luck and then release it all at once!
