The changes in the innate thunder pattern made Chen Lin very excited. His own flying sword finally showed its power.
He still called it the Thunder God's Sword and studied it thoroughly before heading into the city.
With this sword with lightning patterns, he felt more confident and was able to fight even against a stronger person of higher rank than him.
Arriving at the city gate, Chen Lin did not enter the city first. Instead, he walked around the city walls on both sides to check the secret mark he left for Luo Qinglan.
The secret marks were still there, but there were no signs of them being tampered with. He couldn't help but become more worried.
With Luo Qinglan's level of cultivation, he should have arrived here long ago if he hadn't encountered any accidents. However, the other party hasn't come here yet, so perhaps something has happened.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party has been looking for him near the place where they separated.
In fact, what he was most worried about was that the old skeleton man was not dead. After Luo Qinglan contacted him with the communication talisman, he was discovered by the other party. If the other party followed the communication talisman to find him, that would be troublesome.
After standing for a while, Chen Lin calmed down, stood up and returned to the city.
There was no point in worrying. He could only wait here. If he went out to look for her, he would easily miss her.
He kept his worries to himself and continued to make medicine and practice.
Three months passed like this, and all the second-level medicinal liquids promised to Xuan Qingyun were refined. Dozens more were refined, and he also exchanged them for a crystal core of a thunder beast.
But truth cannot be hidden, and coupled with Xuan Qingyun's deliberate leak, the fact that he helped the Xuan family to refine the second-level medicine liquid was still known to the trading company.
"Pharmacist Chen, do you know that our Sihai Trading Company and Xuanyun Trading Company are competitors? What you are doing is equivalent to aiding the enemy. Where is our company? Are you trying to betray us and join the Xuan family?"
The owner of the business, Yu Baifeng, looked directly at Chen Lin and spoke very impolitely. If it weren't for Chen Lin's identity as a pharmacist, he might have directly attacked him.
Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Master, please don't be angry. I have no intention of helping Xuanyun Commercial Bank. I just made a deal with Xuan Qingyun. What he gave me is something I urgently need, and I can't refuse."
After that, he continued, "As for the second-level medicinal liquid, even if the other party gets this amount, it will not have much impact on our company, because I have already mastered the method of refining the third-level crystallization medicinal liquid."
Yu Baifeng was stunned for a moment, then his face turned over with joy.
"Pharmacist Chen is serious about what he said!"
The third-level crystal-forming liquid is an incredible thing, and its value is far beyond that of the second-level liquid. If their company has a stable supply, they can become a top-level company in one leap!
"Of course it's true. How dare I lie about something like this? It's just that the success rate is a bit low at the moment, only about 10%. But as my proficiency increases, I can't say how much it will be, but 20% is still possible."
"good!"
Yu Baifeng immediately forgot about Chen Lin aiding the enemy and praised him, saying, "Pharmacist Chen, just go ahead and refine it. Materials are not a problem. Also, if you have any needs, just let us know. As long as the company can do it, we will satisfy you!"
Chen Lin was waiting for this attitude, and immediately took out a scroll and said, "I don't have any other requests, I just hope the company can help me find someone!"
After saying this, he unfolded the scroll, revealing the portrait inside, which was Luo Qinglan.
"This is my wife. We got separated for some reason. We were in the Yinbugan City area. Please send someone to keep an eye on her."
After thinking it over, he decided to ask the company to help find it. In order to increase the other party's attention, he took out the third-level medicine, which seemed to be effective.
"No problem. As long as the person is over there, I will definitely send someone to find him for you. Pharmacist Chen, just rest assured and make the medicine!"
Yu Baifeng patted his chest and made a promise, then promised some benefits and left with the portrait.
Chen Lin thought for a while, and after feeling that there was nothing wrong with what he did, he took the time to practice.
If he could break through the foundation-building stage, coupled with the Thunder God Sword, he would have a certain ability to protect himself. If he still had no information about Luo Qinglan by then, he could go out and look for her by himself.
But just as he entered the state of practicing, Yu Baifeng came back with three people following him.
"Haha, Pharmacist Chen and his wife are really in tune with each other. You just asked me to help find someone, and your wife found us here!"
Yu Baifeng had a smile on his face, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
He has investigated Chen Lin's situation in detail and found out that he is not a member of the Crystal Clan. However, this is nothing. In addition to the Crystal Clan members, there are also alien races in this interface. Moreover, Chen Lin's cultivation is very low, so it is impossible for him to have any followers and be controlled.
But the other party's wife was so stunning, and her cultivation had reached the fourth level. The power of space in her body was purer than his. How could the other party be an ordinary person if he had such a wife
There are two other people together, one at the third level and the other at the fourth level, neither of them is an ordinary alien race, which further proves that the other party is extraordinary.
However, this is the capital, and their Yu family has a fifth-level strongman in charge, so there is nothing to worry about. Moreover, he believes that he has never oppressed the other party, so the other party will not turn against him.
Chen Lin didn't notice the changes in Yu Baifeng's expression, his eyes were all on Luo Qinglan.
"My wife!"
"Husband!"
Luo Qinglan walked forward and noticed the change in Chen Lin's cultivation at a glance, but did not ask. Instead, he held Chen Lin's hand and quietly felt the warmth between them.
"Pharmacist Chen and his wife must have a lot to talk about when they are reunited, so I won't bother them. Why don't you go have a drink with me, my two friends? I'll leave them alone for the two of them."
Yu Baifeng's eyes flashed and he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin looked at Mu Xingchen and Zhuge Hengyun, nodded and said, "Since the host has invited you, Master Mu, you should go."
Then he pointed at Mu Xingchen and said to Yu Baifeng with a smile: "This is my master in the art of pharmacism. His skills in refining medicine are very superb. Master Dong, you must try to win him over."
Yu Baifeng's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"Really? Then I'll have to take out my treasured thousand-year-old wine. Come on, don't interrupt the couple's sweet love!"
Yu Baifeng enthusiastically pulled Mu Xingchen and the other person away, and Yu Jiuer also tactfully took the servants away, leaving only Chen Lin and Luo Qinglan in the room.
"Husband, what is your cultivation level?"
Luo Qinglan examined Chen Lin's body with concern, and immediately frowned, revealing a look of worry.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although I encountered a big change this time, I managed to save my life. This is a blessing in disguise. As for my cultivation, I can slowly cultivate it back."
After saying a word of comfort, he recounted the story of his encounter with the old skeleton man, which made Luo Qinglan tremble with fear.
However, she also knew that Chen Lin had used the powerful luck technique three times in the ruins, and the current result was already very good. She had always felt that the resurrection scroll that the other party had told her about was not very reliable, but now she was finally relieved.
"My husband, I have made you sacrifice too much for me."
Luo Qinglan snuggled up to Chen Lin, feeling a little guilty, but more happy.
"Hehe, how come you, the great Phoenix Goddess, are so coy now? If you feel guilty, then make it up to your husband!"
Chen Lin gave a wicked smile, took his beloved wife into his arms, and walked towards the inner room.
the next day.
The sun is at noon.
Chen Lin walked out of the room refreshed, and his cultivation level actually broke through the foundation-building stage.
The secret technique of dual cultivation is indeed extraordinary!
Chen Lin secretly praised in his heart, and his mind couldn't help but recall the things that happened in Danding City. It was at that time that he obtained the secret technique of dual cultivation. He also made two good friends who shared the same interests, and went to Wuzhen Tower many times for research and experiments.
Later, this behavior was discovered by Luo Qinglan, who left a message at the end of his skills and scolded him. From then on, he felt the other party's feelings and never messed around with other women again. After so many years, the other party probably hasn't remembered these things.
"My husband's secret technique is indeed quite profound. It is actually beneficial to both men and women. It is not an ordinary method of collecting and replenishing energy. No wonder you liked to go to Wuzhen Tower and Jinfeng Tower so much!"
Luo Qinglan walked out with a teasing tone.
After a night of understanding, she already knew the specific situation of Chen Lin. Although the loss was heavy, it was a blessing in disguise. Many hidden dangers were eliminated. Moreover, his life span was not a problem. It was only a matter of time for his cultivation to recover. So she was no longer worried.
Chen Lin grinned, thinking that the other party had forgotten all this long ago, but he didn't expect that he remembered it so clearly, even remembering the Golden Phoenix Tower.
He couldn't help but said awkwardly: "Hehe, back then I didn't have much time left, so I had no choice but to do it in order to build my foundation. How come my wife still remembers these old things?"
In this matter, he really had no confidence at all. Not only did he frequent brothels, but later on, under the arrangement of the Silver Fairy, he married Qin Lingyu and Sun Caiyi. He also married Princess Qinghua in the land of gods. He really had a lot of women.
However, the other party, as the leader of a sect and a favored daughter of heaven, was devoted to him and had been waiting for him with all her heart, which made him feel very guilty.
Luo Qinglan put away her teasing expression and said, "My husband, don't worry. I am not a jealous person, and I also know how difficult it is to practice. If this dual cultivation secret technique can quickly improve your cultivation, I will also approve of your taking in a few concubines."
Chen Lin waved his hands repeatedly.
"No need, no need. The storage bag I gave to my wife earlier contains enough materials for alchemy. It is enough to use the elixir to improve your cultivation."
At this time, we must not be misled by appearances and must stand firm.
Then he continued, "Now that you and I are reunited, the next step is to find that Demon Realm node. Later I will draw portraits of the Crystal Clan members I met before. You and Master Mu should try to find them first. As long as we find them, it will be easy. I estimate that they are most likely in the Jade Frog Kingdom."
Seeing Luo Qinglan nod, Chen Lin asked again: "How is the degree of your body's alienation? How about Master Mu and the others?"
His cultivation is actually a small matter; the other party's alienation is the big problem.
If I can't solve it myself, I will have to go find the proprietress of the Fairy Tavern. She must have a way, but finding her is not an easy task.
Luo Qinglan's expression became serious. "I'm fine. My Divine Phoenix bloodline is enough to suppress the alienation. After leaving the ruins, I don't even need the help of the treasure fragment to suppress it. But Master Mu and Fellow Daoist Zhuge are not very optimistic, especially Master Mu. You must use the treasure fragment regularly to weaken the abnormal rule power in your body, otherwise it will get worse."
After a pause, she continued, "Although this can be maintained, Master Mu is currently only at the Golden Core Perfection stage. He has not reached the end of his life because of the use of the longevity medicine. If the physical problem cannot be resolved, I am afraid that he will not be able to condense his Nascent Soul."
Chen Lin also fell silent.
Mu Xingchen was already quite old when he formed his Dan, and after so many years his life span is indeed not much longer. However, he had no good solution for this matter for the time being and could only resolve it slowly.
In addition, whether Luo Qinglan's divine emperor bloodline is the resurrection seed left by the powerful is also a hidden concern.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way."
Chen Lin took the other person into his arms and whispered to comfort him, but did not mention the matter of bloodline. He said that there were enough things going on right now and it would not be too late to study this matter later.
At the same time, he also thought of Qin Lingyu and Sun Caiyi. If they could not condense their Nascent Souls, their lifespan would not be long. It would be a big mistake if they were not already there when they were found.
Luo Qinglan seemed to know what Chen Lin was thinking, and asked faintly, "Have your husband's other two Taoist companions condensed their Nascent Souls? And your daughters, have they been with you all this time?"
Chen Lin shook his head and told the story of Qin Lingyu and others being sent to other interfaces by the cat-headed monster.
Luo Qinglan thought for a moment and said, "If it is a cultivator interface, there should be no problem. According to what my husband said, sister Caiyi and Ling'er both have earth spirit bodies, so the chances of forming a baby are very high. And with the presence of Fairy Baiyin, sister Lingyu is not without a chance either. My husband should not worry too much."
"Um."
Chen Lin hummed.
In addition to the Silver Fairy, Sheng Zhenqing and others were also sent there by the cat-headed monster. They all huddled together for warmth, and should be safe in that low-level interface.
I just don't know if there is a channel for ascension in that interface. If not, I can only hope for the cat-headed monster, or accidentally enter the water pool scene.
This exchange dampened the joy of their reunion.
But life must go on.
Mu Xingchen demonstrated his rich knowledge of alchemy and immediately conquered Yu Baifeng. His attitude towards Chen Lin became even better, and he promised more benefits, and tried his best to invite Mu Xingchen to stay.
Chen Lin had no objection to this.
This interface is rich in resources, especially space-attribute items. They are rare treasures if taken to the cultivator interface. If you keep this line, you can resell the materials and earn spirit stones in the future.
With Mu Xingchen around, he was able to break away from the task of refining the medicine and concentrate on his training, while Luo Qinglan and Zhuge Hengyun went out to look for Yu Gongyuan and others, as well as the traces left by the frog.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
"Owner!"
In the secret room, the grass in front of Chen Lin glowed and transformed into a petite body, then spoke respectfully.
Chen Lin immediately took out clothes for Xiao Cao to wear, ruffled her hair, and asked, "How do you feel?"
Xiaocao was his most loyal partner. He felt extremely touched when he saw Xiaocao waking up, and even his worries about not finding the node of the demon world were alleviated a lot.
"Reporting to the master, it is the same as last time, but the overdraft is more serious, so the recovery is a bit slower."
Xiaocao looked indifferent.
Chen Lin said sympathetically, "Try not to use this kind of overdraft. If you do use it, be careful with the amount of overdraft. Otherwise, you won't be able to recover once your essence is exhausted. I am your master and I am incompetent. I have repeatedly made you fight desperately. I won't do that again in the future."
"I do!"
This time, Xiaocao did not obey. Instead, he raised his little head and spoke stubbornly.
Just as Chen Lin was about to say something else, Luo Qinglan came over, looked at Xiaocao's thin body, and said softly, "Husband, is this Xiaocao's sister?"
