After walking for more than a hundred miles, Chen Lin stopped on a small hill.
He first checked the surrounding environment, and after finding nothing unusual, he set up an isolation array, and then began to check what he had just harvested.
In addition to the ten blood spirits that were fished up, Gu Lianfeng also left behind a pill bottle.
After the other party and the lake disappeared together, he thought that the lake was an illusion, and the blood spirit he caught would disappear with it.
But it didn’t.
Chen Lin opened the spirit bottles containing the blood spirits one by one and checked them. He could still feel the blood spirits' obedience, which surprised him very much.
It was because of this feeling that he did not throw these things away after Gu Lianfeng left, but he still had to study them carefully to find out what these things were used for.
After looking at the blood spirit, he took the pill bottle in his hand again.
There was only one pill inside, which was also as red as blood, but without any bloody smell. Instead, it emitted very strong energy fluctuations. Chen Lin even felt that the pill was shaking all the time, as if it had life.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Gu Lianfeng came to see him specially and would never give him a useless pill. Whether it was the blood spirit or the pill, it was likely that he could use it in the ruins, and it might also be related to the tavern owner.
But the other party acted condescending and didn't tell him the purpose directly, which made him very depressed.
After checking, Chen Lin was still unable to figure it out, so he took a rest for a while and then continued on his way.
We were lucky this time, and after flying for another two days, we saw scattered villages and finally arrived at a place where humans live.
Yuangu City.
This is a provincial capital, and it is quite large.
This place is in the northern part of the fairyland, far away from Guqian County. There is no information about Luo Qinglan in the villages and towns outside, so we can only come to the capital to take a look.
After meeting the silver-armored woman and Gu Lianfeng successively, Chen Lin became more alert to the people here. Not everyone is completely suppressed by the rules. If these two people can break through the restrictions of the rules to a certain extent, then others may be able to do so as well.
Once you break through the rules and restrictions, the difference in strength will be huge.
I just don't know whether people who have not been completely assimilated but can still keep their memories can have eternal life.
If there is, that would be a disguised form of immortality.
Although it is impossible to leave the ruins, the fairyland is vast and large enough for survival.
If not, then only the cultivators of the Refining Void stage can achieve this step, because only those who reach the Refining Void stage and above can theoretically achieve immortality. The changes in the Immortal Kingdom have lasted for more than tens of thousands of years. If the cultivators below the Refining Void stage did not completely transform into regular creatures, they would have turned into ashes long ago.
The city was very prosperous and crowded, and there was no sign of walking humanoid monsters. Chen Lin was thinking while trying to gather information.
Half a day later, he was sitting in a tavern, listening to the guests chatting around him and thinking about what he had found out.
Luo Qinglan didn't get much information. He only found out that the other party disappeared after entering the Qingxuan Mountains. It was unknown whether he fled to another place or was captured by the authorities.
Although he was extremely anxious, Chen Lin forced himself to remain calm. He must not act rashly at this time.
There is also good news.
The effect of the pill that Gu Lianfeng gave him was discovered. It was called the Blood God Pill, and it could allow cultivators below the Void Refinement Stage to temporarily break through to a higher realm, but the duration of the breakthrough was not long, and the higher the level of cultivation, the shorter the duration.
Magic pill!
After learning about the effect of this elixir, Chen Lin was secretly astonished. The ancient cultivator was so powerful that he even had a elixir like this.
No matter how short the duration is, even just for a breath, it can play a crucial role in the battle and turn defeat into victory.
You have to know that this is an advancement to a high realm. For example, if he is in the early stage of Spirit Transformation, he can directly increase to the early stage of Void Refinement. How terrifying is that!
Chen Lin thought hard but couldn't figure out the principle behind this elixir, but he thought it couldn't be made with normal materials.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
At least with this elixir, his strength here can be greatly increased. The most important thing is that after entering the Golden Core Realm, he can use the Thunder God Sword, which is his strongest killer weapon.
Sitting in the tavern, Chen Lin weighed the pros and cons, then got up and left, heading straight for the government office.
He had a feeling that Luo Qinglan's condition might not be very good and he couldn't delay any longer. No matter what the silver-armored woman's purpose was or whether she would cross the river and destroy the bridge, he had no choice but to go find her.
In the government office.
The prefect checked the token and immediately said to Chen Lin respectfully, "It is indeed the token of Lord Nan. I will send someone to contact Lord Nan right away. It will take about three days. You just wait in the city."
Chen Lin nodded. Communication talismans and teleportation arrays could not be used here, so information exchange was indeed troublesome.
After leaving the government office, Chen Lin did not stay in the city, but found a secluded place outside the city to stay.
He has a dragon fish cup on him, so the woman in silver armor should be able to sense him as long as she gets close to him. But if he lives in the city, he will be trapped if something unexpected happens.
Sure enough, less than three days later, a beam of silver light shot out.
When Chen Lin saw the woman in silver armor appear, he knew that his guess was correct. The other party had sensed the dragon fish cup on him last time, so she gave him the task of finding the tavern owner. As for why she didn't point it out directly at the time, it was not clear.
"You came back so soon, but did you find Qiu Mufan? Is she near the ruins?"
The silver-armored woman looked at Chen Lin, her tone full of anticipation.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
The other party's methods are unpredictable, and he has a special relationship with the proprietress. If he hides something and is discovered, not only will he be in danger of being dealt with, but it will also be detrimental to rescuing Luo Qinglan.
"Reporting to the commander, I have seen Qiu Mufan you mentioned before. He runs a tavern in a city outside the ruins. However, when I entered the ruins last time, he had already closed the tavern and left. So I didn't see him this time. I only got a message from him."
The silver-armored woman looked Chen Lin up and down for a while before she spoke: "You are very honest, and it also surprises me. Qiu Mufan was able to give you the Dragon Fish Cauldron, it must be because you broke her rules and promises. I am really curious about how you can produce the seven-color spiritual light. From ancient times to now, no one has ever done it."
After saying this, Chen Lin suddenly had a bad feeling, as if he had gotten into trouble again without realizing it.
But he didn't need to tell the other party about his innate ability. He just shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter. I just went to the tavern for the first time and won the qualification to choose wine. Then the colorful spiritual light appeared and I got the opportunity to make a request."
"What did you ask for?"
The silver-armored woman's eyes flashed with gossip, and she asked immediately.
Since he had said it, Chen Lin no longer concealed it and took the opportunity to tell him about Luo Qinglan, and replied: "To be honest, Commander, I entered the ruins to look for someone, Luo Qinglan. I went to the Fairy Tavern because I heard that the tavern owner knew something about the ruins, so I went there. At that time, I asked her to provide some information about the ruins."
The silver-armored woman's expression became very interesting.
Finally, he said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, this is a good choice. Then, what did Qiu Mufan say?"
Chen Lin didn't understand the meaning of the other party's expression, and he didn't have time to analyze it. He continued: "The other party didn't tell me any information. He just gave me a wine cup called Dragon Fish Cup and asked me to take it to the palace here to find a man named Gu Lianfeng. He said that this person would help me."
The silver-armored woman nodded and said, "Gu Lianfeng is Qiu Mufan's trusted eunuch, and the only person she can absolutely trust in the fairyland. It is only natural that she asked you to find him."
After that, she asked with a gossipy look, "What is your relationship with the bandit leader Luo Qinglan that made you risk your life to come here to look for him?"
Chen Lin was surprised to learn that Gu Lianfeng was actually a eunuch. After a little hesitation, he said bluntly, "Your Excellency, Luo Qinglan is my Taoist partner. We were together in the lower world. The lower world where I was was destroyed for some reason, and I was separated from her during the escape. I have been looking for her until now, and I have never found her here. Let alone the ruins of an ancient country, I would go through mountains of swords and seas of fire to try my luck."
The silver-armored woman fell silent.
After a long time, he looked at Chen Lin with an ambiguous look, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha… "
"Okay, okay, what a passionate man you are. I like you more and more now, hahaha..."
Chen Lin frowned secretly, not knowing why the other party was laughing.
But now that he had said this, he could only continue to speak, "Commander, I have brought back the information you need as promised, but I would like to change the reward. I would like to ask you to help me find my Taoist partner Luo Qinglan. Is that possible?"
"Are you sure you want to change?"
The silver-armored woman's eyes flashed, and then she continued, "The disadvantages of innate abilities are serious. This is related to your path to immortality. If you miss me, it will not be easy for you to find a solution."
Chen Lin did not hesitate at all and replied, "I am sure. Please help me, sir!"
There is no telling how many people in the cultivation world possess innate abilities. It is impossible that there are no relevant books passed down, and there must be a solution. The other party has been trapped here for countless tens of thousands of years, and the information has long been delayed, so the matter of innate abilities can be dealt with slowly.
But Luo Qinglan's situation cannot wait any longer. If the other party is killed and causes a mutation, there will be no room for recovery.
"good!"
The silver-armored woman praised.
"No matter how true or false your words are, you did show up here and took action, so I did this favor for you. I hope you can always stick to this true love. If the next time I see you, you have done something that makes you seduce me and then abandon me, I will not forgive you!"
Chen Lin was overjoyed when he heard this.
He immediately bowed deeply, "Thank you for your help, senior!"
Although the feelings between him and Luo Qinglan did not reach the level of inspiring the Mandarin Ducks' Conch Shell, they were also beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it was impossible for him to abandon her after having sex with her.
Then he straightened his expression and said, "Your Excellency, the message Qiu Mufan left behind was just one sentence, saying that the experiment was half successful. It's up to you whether you are willing to leave."
The silver-armored woman seemed to have expected this and her expression did not change much.
"Alas, even so, I can't wait any longer. I have to take a chance. You have found a way out, and I can't let you fall behind."
She muttered to herself.
Then he looked at Chen Lin and said, "I have bad news to tell you. The remaining rebels led by Luo Qinglan have been trapped in the Qingxuan Mountains. The Fourth Prince is in charge of suppressing the bandits. Due to my status, I cannot help you directly. I can only take you to the vicinity. As for whether you can rescue them, it depends on your ability."
After a pause, she continued, "The Fourth Prince has a special status, and Gu Lianfeng can't help you. Besides, it's too late for you to go find him now. If you go to save him, there's a high possibility that you'll die. You'd better think about it carefully."
Chen Lin's face became serious, but he did not hesitate, and said: "Thank you for your reminder, sir. In this case, then there is no time to waste. Please send me over!"
Although he has always been cautious, even a little afraid of death, a real man knows what to do and what not to do. At this moment, there is absolutely no possibility of retreating.
If he watched his wife in danger of death without saving her, then there would be no point in his cultivation.
"You are very good. I am a little envious of Luo Qinglan."
The silver-armored woman's tone softened, but she didn't say anything else. She waved her hand, grabbed Chen Lin, and turned into a beam of light and shot away into the distance.
She was extremely fast and was very familiar with the dangerous areas around her. In less than an hour, she entered the Qingxuan Mountains.
After flying for about half an hour, the light stopped and he stood on the top of a mountain.
"I can only send you here. A hundred miles ahead is a special canyon area. Luo Qinglan and her men are trapped in that canyon. The fourth prince is very powerful. Even when suppressed, he has reached the Golden Core Perfection Realm. With the use of secret techniques, he can reach the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Moreover, the other party and his men are all masters above the Foundation Establishment Realm. You must be vigilant."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Chen Lin thanked him sincerely.
As a general of the fairyland, it is already very precious that the other party can tell him such information and help him deal with the prince of the current dynasty and rescue the rebels. He cannot ask for too much more.
"No problem."
The silver-armored woman waved her hands and said, "I am planning to leave anyway. This fairyland is no longer the fairyland it once was. Everything will become the past. If it weren't for the great favor the Immortal Emperor has shown me, I would have helped you. Now it's up to you."
Chen Lin didn't say anything else. He clasped his fists, took off into the air, and flew in the direction the other party said.
The silver-armored woman stood on the top of the mountain, watching Chen Lin's receding figure, and murmured, "Qiu Mufan, as a good sister, I will test him for you first to see if the person you choose can bear your hopes. But even if he is really the person you need, I am afraid he will not be what you want. I want to see how Princess Qiu, who is despised by even the Immortal Emperor, will make her decision at that time!"
After saying this, his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
