Murong Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Alright, I understand what you're thinking. I also started as a low-level cultivator, so you don't have to test me. If I want the bloodline of your Taoist partner, you won't be able to resist."
Without waiting for Chen Lin to respond, he continued, "You don't know much about the Immortal Monument, so it's normal to be worried. But in fact, the way to activate the Immortal Monument is not what you think. The method of extracting the blood essence is useless, because it is the Immortal Monument that chooses people, not people who choose the Immortal Monument."
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, not understanding what the other party meant.
Murong Feng did not continue to explain, but waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can leave. The fragments of the immortal tablet that appeared this time are indeed a bit unusual. Many people want to get a piece of the pie. If your Taoist partner is chosen, it will be a great fortune, but also a disaster. Whether she can survive it depends on herself. If she can survive and is willing to dedicate the inheritance to my Murong family, you can come to me then. The benefits will definitely satisfy you."
After a pause, he reminded them, "It's not that I won't let you go. Since you have been sensed by the Immortal Monument, it doesn't matter whether you leave or not. The chosen ones can't escape no matter where they are."
Chen Lin left Murong Feng's residence in confusion.
The other party said a lot, but he was still confused. However, the other party was unwilling to elaborate, and he could not force him.
He flew down the mountain with a frown on his face, and suddenly saw the old man in charge was still there. Chen Lin's expression changed and he immediately went up to him.
"Greetings, Mr. Steward!"
He greeted him with a salute, and then, regardless of the other party's attitude, he said directly: "Senior Murong just gave me some advice, but I didn't quite understand it, and I didn't dare to ask more. I wonder if the steward can help me clear up some of my doubts?"
After saying that, he took out a few spirit crystals and stuffed them into the other person's hand.
The old man in charge hesitated for a moment, then put the spirit crystal away without leaving any trace.
"What does Fellow Daoist Chen want to ask?"
Although he was the steward of the Murong Mansion, he was not the only steward and his salary was not very high. A few spirit crystals were a considerable fortune for him.
When Chen Lin saw that the other party had accepted the spirit crystal, he couldn't help but secretly blame himself. Over the years, as his cultivation level improved, he gradually developed an arrogant heart and even forgot that money could make people powerful. For a position like the other party, he should have used spirit crystals to maintain it long ago.
After secretly being alerted, he said, "It's nothing, it's just about the Immortal Monument. Senior Murong said that the Immortal Monument chooses people instead of people choosing the Immortal Monument, so I don't need to think too much and just be prepared. But I don't know the specific situation, and I really don't know what to prepare. Please give me some advice, Master Steward!"
The old man in charge nodded, his expression relieved.
"So that's it. I actually know something about it. Without your permission, I can't say much. But Fellow Daoist Chen has a special status, so it's okay to talk about it, so that you won't be tied up when the time comes."
"Thank you, Steward!"
Chen Lin clasped his fists and pretended to listen attentively.
The old man in charge waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Lao Lu."
Then he said, "It is said that the so-called Immortal Monument is made of fragments of an immortal weapon. It has its own space inside, and can pull people who meet the requirements into it. After passing certain tests, they will receive inheritance rewards. It is said that only descendants of true spirits and those with talent are qualified to be selected."
After a pause, he explained, "However, the last time the Immortal Monument came out was ten thousand years ago. Almost no one has experienced it personally. The information comes from the classics passed down by the family. The specific situation cannot be determined. Fellow Daoist Chen, don't be misled by me. You have to analyze it yourself."
Chen Lin finally understood what had happened.
It turns out that there are such conditions for activating the Immortal Monument. In this way, Luo Qinglan does not have to worry about the essence of his blood being extracted.
But if that is the case, he himself may also be selected by the Immortal Monument, as his talent level is not low.
"Thank you, Manager Lu, for clearing up my doubts. This information is very important to me. I have some skills in alchemy. If you need me to do anything in the future, just tell me directly."
Chen Lin exchanged some pleasantries, then said goodbye and left.
When I returned to the cave and told everyone about the situation, everyone was surprised.
They have been worrying about this and that for a while, but it turns out to be just groundless worries and their energy is not being used in the right place.
Mu Xingchen said, "If that's the case, except for Zhang Qinghe and me, you all have the possibility of being selected by the Immortal Monument. And those strong men who came to this city during this period probably also meet the requirements. There are many at the Spiritualization and Refining Void levels among them. If you need to compete with them inside the Immortal Monument, you must prepare well."
Chen Lin was also worried about this.
Manager Lu also didn't know the situation inside the immortal monument. If it really was a competition mechanism, even if they didn't fight for it, others might not let them go.
In the final analysis, it’s because my cultivation is too low.
If he was still at the level of a spirit being, with all his skills, he wouldn't have to be so timid.
"The situation is unclear and we cannot plan a response. In the next period of time, everyone should prepare according to their own needs. The more methods the better."
Chen Lin concluded.
It was mainly addressed to Zhuge Hengyun, who was also a person with gifted abilities and had the possibility of being chosen.
As for Luo Qinglan, his entire cultivation is based on his bloodline. Apart from his life-saving magic weapon, the Vermillion Bird Feather, he seldom uses other treasures, so there is not much he can prepare.
Xiaocao is even more so, as he can't use anything except sword energy, and the opponent is not a talented person, so he should not meet the requirements.
After the discussion, everyone went their separate ways.
Even after figuring out the whole story, Chen Lin still didn't give up the idea of setting up a teleportation array, and sent out all the arrays he had through different channels.
It’s not worth much anyway, so just decorate it first regardless of whether it can be used or not.
The locations are also varied and can be found everywhere.
He marked a number on each array plate and the corresponding teleportation symbols. He kept some for himself and gave some to Luo Qinglan.
Time passes slowly.
In a flash, several months passed.
There was finally a big movement in Wanbei Forest. A mountain was split into two, and a huge irregular black object condensed inside, emitting a terrifying pressure.
As soon as this object appeared, the area within tens of thousands of miles was affected, and the spatial fluctuations were extremely violent. Even at a relatively close distance, a large number of spatial cracks could be seen moving out of thin air.
As the immortal monument became apparent, information about it also spread, and the previous secrets were no longer secrets.
Everyone knows that the Immortal Monument will select those with talent for testing and then pass on their inheritance.
For a time, descendants of true spirits and gifted people became popular, and various forces tried to win them over. Some simply gave them benefits in advance, signed spiritual contracts, and agreed to share the inheritance after obtaining it.
Chen Lin and others gathered in the cave.
Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. If I want to do more, I don’t know where to start. I can only wait patiently.
During this period, Lan Die'er took the initiative to come up again and claimed that she wanted to form an alliance with Luo Qinglan and act together in the Immortal Monument, but was rejected by Chen Lin.
The other party is from the Demon Sect, so it is better to have less dealings with him.
And Lan Zhihan never showed up from beginning to end. Murong Qianling, who had been worried about him, had only heard of him but never seen him. It was unknown whether he had given up on them or did not dare to do anything excessive because of Murong Feng.
Another half month passed like this.
The immortal monument has floated high into the sky, mysterious patterns constantly appearing on it, and it roars day and night.
This day.
Chen Lin and others were meditating in the cave when a majestic voice suddenly sounded.
"The time has come, the Immortal Monument is about to be activated, be prepared, if you encounter danger inside, you can seek help from the children of the Murong family!"
Lan
