After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Lin followed Lan Ruxue's advice and returned to Zhongzhou City.
The Fairy of Flowers still stayed in the world of spirits and demons.
"Thank you for your help, senior. If you have any requests, I will do my best!"
Lan Ruxue was going back to Yingyue Sect, and Chen Lin hurriedly saw her off respectfully.
"It's okay, it's just a small favor. Just help me keep an eye on the recipe."
"Of course!"
Chen Lin agreed immediately.
Although he would definitely not go to the old skeleton man, he could not refuse at this time.
Lan Ruxue looked at Chen Lin deeply, then turned and left.
Chen Lin fell into deep thought.
Things went smoothly. There was no danger along the way, and I successfully obtained the identity token of the fairy palace at the top of the main peak, but there were also many restrictions.
The Immortal Palace is equivalent to a small city. Only the elders of Zhongzhou City, people with special identities and their families live there. He is not qualified to go to the core area around the City Lord's Mansion and can only move around in the periphery.
In addition, he was only allocated a small residence, and the number of places allowed to live was also regulated.
"Master Mu, how is Qinglan recovering?"
When Chen Lin returned to his residence, he saw Mu Xingchen and immediately asked.
The other party came to Zhongzhou City two months ago. After failing to contact him, they first found Jin Xingyun and the others. After learning that something unexpected had happened to the Fairy of Flowers while she was overcoming the tribulation, they have been looking for him.
"It's recovering very well, and there are signs of recovery."
Mu Xingchen immediately took out the jade box containing the Vermillion Bird Feather and handed it to Chen Lin.
After Chen Lin opened it, he picked up the Vermillion Bird Feather, and after examining it, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
Sure enough, the soul fluctuations inside have become very strong, and one can feel the spirituality in the soul, instead of the dead silence before.
This finally made him feel relieved.
I don't have too many extravagant hopes. I just hope I can recover to the state of the Fairy of Flowers. At least I will have my complete memories instead of becoming another person.
As if knowing Chen Lin's concerns, Mu Xingchen said, "Over the years, Yang Zishi has been using his innate abilities to help the Sect Master purify himself. Even if there are still traces of the mark left after the Sect Master's Nirvana, it should be able to be purified."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin glanced at Yang Zishi who was standing beside him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The other party's cultivation progress was very fast, and he had now reached the late Jindan stage. If he hadn't helped Luo Qinglan, he would probably have been able to try to advance to the Yuanying stage.
“It’s not hard.”
Yang Zishi seemed a little embarrassed.
Chen Lin nodded, and then said: "Remember not to spread the matter of your innate ability to others. Just a few of us know it."
"Yes, Xiaoshi has made note of it."
Yang Zishi quickly agreed.
Mu Xingchen immediately explained, "Zi Shi showed me the effect of his ability in order to purify the sect master, and did not reveal it to anyone else."
Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "Master Mu, don't worry. You are the person Qinglan and I trust the most. We are mainly worried that she has been practicing behind closed doors and doesn't know how dangerous the outside world is, so she might let the cat out of the bag."
After that, he did not continue the topic, but asked with concern: "How is Master Mu's physical condition?"
Mu Xingchen shook his head and sighed, "Although the fragments of the treasure are suppressing it, it is impossible to completely restore the assimilation state. Zi Shi also helped me purify it, and although it worked, it was not obvious."
Chen Lin touched his chin upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry about this. Your innate ability can grow as your realm improves. After Zishi is promoted to Nascent Soul, the purification speed will be faster. You can try it then. Anyway, you don't have to worry about your life span now."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe there is another way to try."
"What is the solution?"
Mu Xingchen's eyes lit up and he asked.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Mu, wait for me for a moment."
He stood up and entered the training room. After activating the defensive formation, he took out his fishing rod and entered the grove in the Demon Realm.
"Owner!"
Seeing Chen Lin, Xiaocao immediately stepped forward, and Hua Ruyu and Fat Tiger also came over.
Because his Immortal Palace identity token had a quota limit and only allowed him to bring two people, he brought Mu Xingchen and Yang Zishi, and left the other three here for transit.
"Give me a moment."
Chen Lin said something, and then lightning flashed in the palm of his hand.
He wanted to release all the thunder power in the Thunder God's Sword, leaving only the final origin, to see if it could have an effect on Mu Xingchen's condition after the power weakened.
Previously in the Bluestone Street scene, he was able to use this method to prevent Gouyu Mountain and the Fairy of Flowers from being demonized. Now is a good time to try it again. If successful, it will be much easier to solve the problem if a similar situation occurs to someone around him in the future.
After the release, he returned with Xiaocao and the other two.
This forest is not absolutely safe. If it is not necessary, there is no need to stay here for long.
After introducing the structure of the residence to the three people, Chen Lin came to the front hall and tried to restore Mu Xingchen's body.
But he immediately shook his head.
Although only the innate origin is left, the innate power of the Thunder God Sword is generated based on the innate thunder patterns, which are themselves of the thunder attribute. Even if only the origin is left, it is still extremely destructive.
The opponent's state was different from that of Gouyushan and Fairy of Flowers at that time.
Gou Yushan and the other man were simply unable to resist the erosion of the demonic energy. Although the demonic energy entered their bodies, they were not truly transformed into demons, so it was easily dispelled by the innate power.
Mu Xingchen's body has now been assimilated by the alien energy, and his spirit, energy and soul have undergone qualitative changes. If he forcibly uses his innate power to attack, the alien energy and the opponent's spirit, energy and soul will be destroyed together, and the opponent will surely die.
"No, this method won't work."
Chen Lin stopped the experiment and shook his head helplessly.
Mu Xingchen was not too disappointed. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have the fragment of the treasure now. It can suppress the assimilation state and prevent it from continuing to develop. It has no effect on me. Moreover, with my qualifications, the hope of being promoted to the God Transformation Realm is not great. It doesn't matter whether I deal with it or not."
"Master Mu, rest assured. When Xiaoshi's origin power increases, I will definitely solve the hidden danger for you."
Seeing this, Yang Zishi spoke up from the side.
"Haha, then I'll wait for Miss Zishi's help!"
Mu Xingchen laughed and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
Next, Chen Lin discussed the matters in Liangyi City with Mu Xingchen.
Even if he had some connections in the Liangyi Sect, he still had to pay for using the Liangyi Disk. Due to the high cost, Mu Xingchen only brought Yang Zishi with him this time. Yang Ziqing and Zhou Shiwu both stayed in the Qingyang Sect.
Chen Lin had no comment on this.
Ultimately, cultivators have to rely on themselves and cannot depend on him for everything. Even if they die in this interface fusion, it can only be said that they have no chance of achieving the Great Dao.
As for Alan and Ling Qianshan, brother and sister, they still stayed in Liangyi City.
And Huang Liu also had no intention of leaving Liangyi City.
But from what Mu Xingchen said, these people seemed to be looking for interface nodes and wanted to hide in other interfaces.
In fact, it is not just these few people. All well-informed and capable monks are basically looking for nodes to other interfaces. This is the simplest and most effective way to avoid risks.
In Zhongzhou City today, any node information that can be entered in person, whether it is from the demon world or elsewhere, is rising in value and is being fought over by many people.
Even Mu Xingchen had purchased a location for a Demon Realm node before, and coincidentally, it was the one leading to the Spirit Demon Realm, so he wasted a lot of spirit stones in vain.
After understanding the situation, Chen Lin thought for a while, took out the jade slip and entered the location information of several nodes in the Demon Realm that he knew, including those from Zhongzhou City, Liangyi City and other places. After making several copies, he asked Mu Xingchen to give them to Wanmeng Zhenjun and others, as well as the people in Liangyi City.
This is all he can do. As for whether these people can be used, it depends on themselves.
In fact, the node in the Crystal Light Realm has the highest security, but he had an agreement with the Crystal Clan, so he only gave it to Yang Ziqing and Zhou Shiwu, and asked them not to leak it.
After the matter was settled, Chen Lin assigned each of them their own residence and began to practice in seclusion.
The spiritual energy in this fairy palace is so dense that it seems to be real and cannot be wasted. With the help of the Four Symbols Soul-Swallowing Pill, it is possible for him to improve his cultivation to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation before the Tianxuan Day.
Of course, there is no need to think about refining the void.
His previous idea was pure fantasy and could never be realized.
No matter how gifted one is, it is difficult to achieve the transition from the Spiritual Transformation to the Void Refining Stage without a hundred years of time. His progress is already exaggerated enough, and it would be enough to shock a lot of people if it were made public.
A year passed.
Chen Lin in the practice room opened his eyes and exhaled.
He felt the thickness of the magic power in his body and nodded with satisfaction. After a year of hard training, the effect was quite good. The Four Symbols Soul-Swallowing Pill was indeed an ancient elixir with a pill formation. The effect was indeed extraordinary.
Especially in the Fairy Palace, a place with 'super-quality spiritual veins', there is no need to use elixirs, just absorb spiritual energy to practice. The spiritual energy here is very pure, and it will not produce many impurities even under high-speed refining, so you can get twice the result with half the effort.
In the past, whether using elixirs or spirit crystals, under the high-speed refining of the Four Symbols Soul-Swallowing Pill, it would not take long for it to come to a halt, and it would take a while to recover before continuing. But this time, it took a full year to practice.
Chen Lin calculated that there were still more than two years until Tianxuan Day. At this rate, even if he couldn't break through to the late stage of Huashen, he could still reach the peak of the middle stage of Huashen.
After taking a break for a while, he finished his practice, stood up and walked out of the practice room.
"How is it, has the situation changed during this period of time?"
Mu Xingchen was studying the recipe in the hall, and Chen Lin walked up to him and asked.
"Replying to Master Zhen, there are no major changes, but the atmosphere has become more tense, and the activities of various forces are also very frequent. In addition, there are more and more cultivators in Zhongzhou City, and it is already overcrowded."
Chen Lin nodded. This situation was expected.
Great changes are coming, and people's hearts are in turmoil. No one can guarantee that everything will go smoothly, so they naturally have to seek ways to protect themselves.
In fact, for low-level cultivators, unless they are the kind of geniuses with ambitions for the great Dao, it is impossible for them to hope for the fusion of interfaces, because the fusion or not has no effect on them, and they will never have the day to use the complete rules of heaven and earth. On the contrary, the turmoil caused by the fusion of interfaces will cost them their lives.
But monks respect the strong, and no matter how much the weak complain and object, they cannot change the will of the strong.
Whether you like it or not, you can only bear it silently.
