Half a year later.
In the room, Chen Lin opened his eyes and exhaled.
The strange energy here is truly overbearing. Even if he only uses spirit crystals and elixirs to practice, he cannot completely isolate it. He needs to divide his attention to resist it.
As a result, the speed of cultivation slowed down a lot.
Besides, his reserves of elixirs and spirit crystals were not unlimited, and would be used up sooner or later. It was not a solution to just sit there and eat up all the resources.
Chen Lin was thinking of a solution.
If it really doesn't work, I have to find out the information about the ancient cultivator's cave to see if I can go out and explore to obtain resources.
According to his understanding, there is a small spiritual realm in almost every cave dwelling of ancient cultivators. This kind of independent space seems to be the standard configuration of ancient cultivators in those days.
Moreover, the Small Spiritual Realm has its own rules and will not be infiltrated by the strange energy here. It is not only suitable for planting, but in fact it is more suitable for cultivators to practice. However, the cultivators here all practice the Tianyan Jue, which requires refining strange energy, so the Small Spiritual Realm has become the most unsuitable place.
But he needed it. It would be great if he could have a small spiritual realm that he could use alone.
in addition.
The ancient cave dwellings were built tens of thousands of years ago and have never been developed. They must be filled with thousands of years old elixirs, and there is also the possibility of high-level spiritual treasures and ancient heritage.
But exploring the ancient cultivator's cave is also very dangerous. The most important thing is that you cannot use magic power outside, so searching is a big problem. In addition, when the ancient cultivator's cave is opened, there is a high possibility of spiritual power fluctuations, which will attract the Tianluo people over.
"Let's wait a little longer!"
Chen Lin shook his head.
His reserves will last for another two years, and he has not yet started refining the True Soul Flower and has not yet finished deciphering the Taixu Text, so there is no rush for the time being.
Next, he went outside to find out what was going on.
No new information was found out, except that the price of spiritual rice was still rising, causing a large increase in prices. Some low-level cultivators with limited wealth could no longer bear it and had to leave the Three Kings Cave and venture to other gathering places.
These things had little to do with him. After taking a walk, he returned to his residence, made some preparations, and entered the demon world.
As soon as the figure appeared in the cave, several figures were seen standing around and chatting.
Chen Lin looked delighted, it seemed that the day of the party had finally arrived.
He had seen marks on the wall of the cave some time ago, but he didn't know who left them. However, he guessed that the party should take place during this period, so he came in to take a look. Today, he finally saw someone.
After taking a look, I saw that there were four people in total, all of whom had strange looks and were not human cultivators.
I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"Hey, this friend doesn't look familiar. When did he join?"
A tall man saw Chen Lin appear and spoke in confusion.
Chen Lin immediately clasped his fists and replied, "My name is Chen Lin. I have just arrived here and have not met many allies yet. What is your name?"
The man was tall, with most of his skin exposed, making him look strong and powerful, and his skin was covered with patterns, no one knew what they meant.
But you can tell at a glance that he is not a human cultivator.
"Haha, no problem. My name is Chalibu, and I'm from the Mountain Moving World. If you have any information you want to know, you can ask me."
The tall man laughed, appearing very bold.
"It's Brother Cha, thank you!"
Chen Lin clasped his fists again, but the other party immediately said, "It's not Brother Cha, it's Cha Li, which means tolerance!"
"Haha, I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Brother Charlie."
After laughing, Chen Lin looked at the other three people and introduced themselves to each other.
These three people all have their own characteristics. One is called Jin Xuanzi. As his name suggests, he is golden all over and even his voice has a metallic texture, but he did not say what interface he was from.
The other one is very short, and except for his arms not being as long, he is similar to Gouyusan in other aspects. He calls himself Youying, which must be a fake name.
The last one was an old woman, her body covered with uncomfortable brown pimples. The most exaggerated thing was that one of her eyes had no eyeball, but a small transparent hourglass embedded in it, with silver sand falling one by one in the hourglass.
The old woman seemed very cold and only said the three words "Salina" and no more.
After a brief contact, Chen Lin had a preliminary understanding of the personalities of several people, then came to the cave entrance and took a look outside.
There was no one else outside, and no big birds on the grass. It was very quiet.
Then he came to Chalib.
This person has the best attitude and is very generous. You can get in touch with him more often to get more information.
"Brother Charlie, do you know how many people are attending this party?"
Chen Lin asked tentatively.
Chalib smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, there will only be a few of us. The agreed date is today. If no one comes now, I guess no one will come again."
The other party's words made Chen Lin's heart sink.
In that case, if he wants to wait for Xu Zi Han or other cultivators from Xingnan Realm, it will take another year.
Just as he was about to ask again, Chalib extended his big hand to him and said sternly, "According to the rules of the alliance, unless there is a special agreement, the fee for answering a question is one magic coin. Thank you for your consultation."
Chen Lin frowned immediately. The other person, who looked like he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually tried to trick him like this.
He glanced at the other three people and saw that they all looked like they were watching a show. His face turned cold and he said, "Why, you want to bully the newbie? Then you've got the wrong person!"
You can't be weak at this time, otherwise people will think he is easy to bully, and there will be more trouble in the future.
Chalibu shook his head and said, "I'm not bullying you. In this scene, we can't attack each other. We can't bully you even if we want to. But this is the rule of the alliance. If you don't believe me, ask them."
Chen Lin ignored the other party and sneered, "What if I don't give it to you?"
"If you don't, your credibility will be reduced, and no one will be willing to do business with you in the future."
The tall man said seriously.
"He's right, there is indeed such a rule."
At this moment, a figure flashed and a calm female voice sounded.
Chen Lin's face lit up with joy. It was Connie who came. She had not appeared in the past six months. He thought she had an accident.
Connie slowly walked to Chen Lin's side, flicked a magic coin in front of Chalibu, and said, "I'll give the magic coin on behalf of Brother Chen, keep it!"
Chalibu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly grabbed the magic coin and handed it to Connie.
"I was just joking. How could I really accept this magic coin? Please don't blame me, Lady Connie."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Lin deeply, as if trying to figure out the relationship between Chen Lin and Connie.
Chen Lin discovered that the other three also looked surprised at this time. It seemed that Connie had a high status in the Alliance of All Worlds.
Even though people here cannot attack each other, as long as they are a group there will be differences in strength, and their strength can also be demonstrated in other aspects.
"No, rules are rules, just put them away."
Connie responded calmly, then ignored the other party and looked at the old woman and said, "Salina, what do you think of my proposal at the last party?"
The old woman shook her head. "Forget it. The place you mentioned is too dangerous. I won't go there. Besides, so many years have passed. It's hard to say that anything has changed. The previous information is no longer reliable."
"That's such a pity. That place contains your wizard's heritage."
Connie was a little disappointed, then looked at the other three and asked, "Are you guys interested?"
The three of them shook their heads at the same time.
Chen Lin watched from the side. This should be an appointment to explore a certain scene, and there must be more than two medium objects. It seems that the scene is extremely dangerous.
Seeing that the invitation was unsuccessful, Connie stopped worrying and said, "Who has the information of a common third-level pass? I will exchange it for 20 magic coins. The premise is that it must be true and you need to swear a magic oath."
As soon as the voice fell, the old woman said: "This request is too general. Do you want a channel to purchase the third-level road pass, or something else?"
Connie immediately replied: "Of course it is a safe purchasing channel. How can ordinary information be worth twenty magic coins?"
Chen Lin looked at the old woman. Since she asked this, she must know something. He was also very interested in this information.
There was also the devil's oath that Connie had just mentioned, which he had never heard of before.
Sure enough, only communication can lead to progress, and working in isolation will not work.
To Chen Lin's disappointment, the old woman shook her head and said nothing.
No one else responded either.
Seeing this, Connie did not propose any other deal, but took a step back.
At this time, Jin Xuanzi stepped forward and said, "Purchase a defensive treasure and the price will depend on the level."
After waiting for a while, seeing no one answering, he said, "No defense, evasive ones are fine too, the price is negotiable."
Still no one spoke.
Helpless, he could only shake his head and retreat.
Chen Lin's heart moved at this moment. He had two defensive treasures on him, a ruby and a jade bracelet.
He didn't mean to trade, but he hadn't found a way to use the jade bracelet, so he could give it a try now.
Seeing that the others did not move, he followed suit and took a step forward, saying, "I'm looking for a copy of the Refining Technique that can refine the treasures of the Demon Realm. I need to verify whether it works first. If it does, the price is negotiable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Connie said, "Brother Chen, do you need a treasure refining technique? I have it here. I'll give it to you after the party is over."
Her words made the people on the opposite side look strange again, and their eyes looking at Chen Lin also became different.
Chen Lin didn't care what others thought. He clasped his fists towards Connie with a happy face.
The treasures in the Demon Realm are extremely rare, and the jade bracelet is of a defensive type. If it can be refined and used, it will be of great help to him in exploring the Demon Realm.
Although ruby is also mainly used for attack and defense, it is disposable after all and will be gone after use.
Next, several people took turns to make some requests, but they were basically unsuccessful. Only two deals were concluded. However, the transactions took place outside and outsiders were not allowed to watch the specific process.
When it was almost over, Chen Lin asked about the information of Xingnan Realm and his current interface, but no one knew.
"Okay, since no one has any new questions, let's stop here for this time!"
Connie ended the conversation, and the old woman and the others disappeared one by one.
