Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 78: Granular crystallization

"That evil thing is related to the ancient cultivator's cave?"

Chen Lin was shocked when he heard what the old Taoist said.

However, he immediately doubted: "We have been exploring the ancient cave for such a long time, and I have never heard of such a situation before. Besides, isn't there a foundation-building cultivator in charge there?"

Chen Lin was well aware of the methods used by the Foundation Establishment cultivators, but Yu Yuehai had just been promoted, so dealing with a Qi Condensation cultivator was like stepping on an ant.

Even though the red shadow just now was very evil, it was still not on the same level as the foundation-building cultivator.

The old Taoist shook his head again, "I am just speculating. We need to check the specific situation to know. Since there are strong men from the Lieyang Sect there, we don't need to worry about it."

Chen Lin nodded.

Indeed, with the Lieyang Sect around, it is naturally not their turn to worry about such things. They just need to ensure their own safety.

While the two were talking, people from the government had learned the news and rushed over, as well as the families of the deceased, and there was an immediate sound of grief.

Chen Lin felt a little uncomfortable.

In such a world, life is extremely difficult for mortals. Not only do they have to struggle for food and clothing, but they also have to endure dangers that may arise at any time.

After the old Taoist took out a pill and swallowed it, he immediately felt much more energetic and began to command the people in the Commander's Mansion to take action.

Wufang Temple is a force of immortal cultivators under the imperial court. It has locations everywhere and is responsible for guarding one side, arresting and killing demons and monsters that disrupt the order of mortals, as well as evil cultivators and demons.

Therefore, he has a very high status in the mortal kingdom, higher than the government.

After the matter was settled, the Taoist priest and the government officials left together.

Chen Lin didn't want to have too much involvement with official agencies, so he declined the other party's invitation and prepared to return to his residence.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something. When the red shadow was killed just now, it seemed that something fell to the ground from the black smoke.

Because everyone's attention was focused on the old Taoist's life and death at that time, they did not check.

After the evil creature is killed, it can actually drop items, and I don’t know what they are

Chen Lin came to the location where the black smoke appeared and began to search on the ground.

Several black particles the size of rice were quickly found. If the soil on the road was not hard and smooth, they would not be visible.

The Taoist priest and the others had already gone far away at this moment, so Chen Lin picked it up without hesitation.

After a rough sense, nothing abnormal was found.

This was not a place to study, so he put it in his pocket, then took a look at the Liu family's courtyard, sighed, and turned away.

When I got back to my residence, the first thing I did was to check for the black particles.

But when Chen Lin was about to take it out of his pocket, he found that the particles were gone!

This shocked him.

Although the grains were small, there was no other item in his pocket. Apart from the grains, there was a jade talisman and an evil-repelling talisman. It was impossible for them to be crushed.

This robe was specially customized by him. It has two hidden pockets. It is of high quality and there is no possibility of leakage.

Besides, it was only a short while, the distance was only about one or two hundred meters, it was impossible to get lost.

Chen Lin turned his pockets over and over again with a look of surprise on his face, making sure that the item was really gone. He couldn't help but feel like he had seen a ghost.

Could it be that those particles cannot be preserved and turn into air after a period of time

He frowned.

If it really turned into air, it would be fine. But I was afraid that the thing was the residual energy of evil spirits, which would quietly seep into his body, and that would be bad.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly checked and found no problems.

Come to think of it, it’s unlikely.

He had taken precautions against this when he put it away, and had purposely placed the particles and the jade talisman to ward off evil together. If any evil energy really appeared, the jade talisman should have reacted.

Even if the energy of the jade talisman is used up, there is still the evil-repelling talisman. The evil-repelling talisman is a one-time talisman that is passively activated. It will not be activated involuntarily if there is a sense of induction.

What is going on

Chen Lin was puzzled.

Could it be that it was absorbed by the jade talisman

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

Those black particles should be energy crystals, just like some monsters have monster pills and some monsters have strange spirits.

Since it is an energy crystal, it can naturally be absorbed, it just requires a method.

The jade talisman can sense evil things, so it is not impossible that it can absorb the crystals left behind by evil things.

Chen Lin immediately took the jade talisman in his hand and observed it carefully.

He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the jade talisman seemed rounder than before.

Could it really have been absorbed

If it can be absorbed, it means that the jade talisman has the possibility of being repaired!

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

This jade talisman can ward off evil spirits and is a rare self-defense treasure. It will be very valuable if it is repaired.

Unfortunately, the black particles are gone now and cannot be verified. We can only wait and confirm it later.

Chen Lin thought about it, then took out another spirit stone and put it together with the jade talisman.

He wanted to try whether the jade talisman could absorb other energy, but it was obviously not possible, there was no reaction at all.

Then he tested some elixirs, magical herbs and other things that contained energy, and confirmed that they could not be absorbed.

After finding no new clues, Chen Lin stopped thinking about it, wrapped up the jade talisman, strung it on a rope and hung it on his chest, then left home and went to the market.

According to Taoist Master Yu Yangzi, situations like this where people are possessed by evil spirits have occurred in many places, so we need to prepare more talismans to ward off evil spirits and to kill evil spirits. I'm afraid their prices will go up in a few days.

However, he had few spirit stones left and was afraid that he could not buy much. He could not make a profit by hoarding them.

So he wanted to make his own.

If the price of talismans goes up, you can make a lot of money.

If it doesn’t appreciate, keep it for yourself, you won’t lose out.

With this idea in mind, Chen Lin began to check each shop one by one to see if he could buy the methods of making these two talismans.

In fact, what he wanted to buy most was the method of making the Five Elements Escape Talisman, because the escape talisman was the most expensive of all talismans, especially the Five Elements Escape Talisman, although it was a first-level talisman, it was even more expensive than some second-level talismans.

If you master it, you will definitely make a lot of money.

Moreover, life-saving things will never be hard to sell. As long as you can refine them, there will be people who will buy them.

Unfortunately, such inheritance cannot be bought at all.

After a round of searching, not to mention the inheritance of the making of the Five Elements Escape Talisman, even the lowest level method of refining the evil-repelling talisman was not for sale.

It extinguished his dream.

But it wasn't all in vain, as I got some information.

It turns out that these talismans for exorcising evil spirits and demons were all made by the Taoist priests in the Wufang Temple. Even those sold in the market were imported from there.

This is quite a coincidence.

When it comes to saving his life and making money, Chen Lin has always been thick-skinned enough, and he just saved Yu Yangzi's life, so he must be able to give him some face.

So, after asking about the location of Wufang Temple, he set off.
