Silent Sea.
Chen Lin's figure flashed and landed on an unnamed island.
The space in this world is stable, and the teleportation array can be used for inter-continental teleportation. However, this time he is mainly traveling and looking for opportunities for promotion, so he naturally cannot use the teleportation array. He decides to cross the Sea of Silence and go to the True Spirit Continent.
By the way, come and take a look at this demon world node.
He has not been here since he came back from the Great Star Realm last time, but asked Liu Shengyuan to come here every few years.
After observing the surroundings, Chen Lin used the earth escape technique and entered the ancient cultivator's cave under the sea.
There was no change in the cave, and the golden elixir puppet he placed was still there.
First, he replaced the spirit crystal for the puppet, then Chen Lin came to the node and saw that the seal seemed a little loose, so he added another sealing talisman.
This demon world scene is of no use to him now. No matter what mysteries are inside, he doesn't need to worry about it for now. It will not be too late to explore it when he needs it.
However, the words on the wall made him very confused.
He had asked Liu Shengyuan and others to investigate over the years, but to no avail. He also asked several times at the Wanjie Alliance gathering, but no one knew him.
This is very puzzling. I wonder what the person who left these words wanted to do.
If you want to leave some information, you should not use such obscure characters. If you want to record something secret and don't want others to know, there is no need to carve it on the wall in a ostentatious manner.
Very contradictory.
After looking at it for a while and failing to get the point, Chen Lin turned and left.
There are innumerable strange things in the world of cultivation, and it is impossible to understand everything clearly. If you have the opportunity to come across such texts, you should learn about them. If you don’t, just forget it.
Just let everything take its course.
Back on the sea, Chen Lin released the spirit boat to fly at low altitude, while he sat on it to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the ocean.
The Silent Sea is calm all year round and the climate is also very good. Although there are monsters roaming around, with its current strength, it is not afraid of even a sixth-level monster, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Of course, we should still be low-key.
If a super monster of the Dao Yun level appeared, he would not be able to resist it. However, monsters that could reach that level would have already transformed long ago, and would not continue to live in the sea unless in extremely special circumstances.
The spirit boat flew neither fast nor slow across the sea.
In a blink of an eye, three months had passed.
The Silent Sea is extremely vast. At his current speed, it only took him three months to enter the deep sea. It would take at least another year to reach the True Spirit Continent.
Chen Lin was not in a hurry either. Opportunity was such an illusory thing that no one could tell when it would appear, so it made no difference whether on land or in the sea.
Moreover, the ocean journey over the past few months has broadened his mind and given him a deeper understanding of the Tao.
"Um?"
This day.
Chen Lin had just casually repelled a fourth-level monster that was not aware of its own life or death, when he noticed a ball of golden light floating above the sea in the distance, which was quite eye-catching.
He immediately sent out his divine sense to investigate, and then was stunned.
That ball of golden light turned out to be an island!
The island is not large in area, and it is golden all over, as if it were made of gold.
In the past, he would have avoided such visions, but now, in order to find an opportunity, of course he had to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin urged the spirit boat to move over.
After sensing it at close range and confirming that it was not the back of a monster, he came to the vicinity of the island.
After controlling the spirit boat to circle around the island again, Chen Lin folded up the spirit boat and flew onto the island.
This is indeed a normal island, but the material is very special. If he is not mistaken, the entire island is made of gold and stone.
Gold Yuan Stone can be used to extract 'pure gold', which is a high-quality material for refining spiritual treasures.
Looking at the island under his feet, Chen Lin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Such a large Jinyuan Stone Island can be used to refine a lot of refined gold, the value of which is inestimable. I didn’t expect that my luck was so good in this experience. I have gained such a great deal before reaching the True Spirit Continent.
What made him look forward to it even more was that when the gold stone ore vein became pure to a certain degree, it was possible for 'spiritual gold' to appear, which was of a higher grade. His golden sword was made of spiritual gold. If he could get some spiritual gold, he could repair the golden sword.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin used the water avoidance method and went under the sea to check.
Then he was surprised to find that the island was actually 'vertical'!
Normal islands are small at the top and get bigger as they go down, like a mountain. However, this island is equally big from top to bottom, like a giant pillar stuck in the sea.
This made him even more suspicious.
After hesitating for a moment, he did not continue to go down, but returned to the surface of the sea.
This is not normal, so it is better not to take risks.
Such dazzling golden light on the sea cannot fail to be noticed, especially at night, it can be seen clearly from a hundred miles away. Even if the sea monsters do not like the ore, the exploring monks and large merchant ships passing by will not let go of such a treasure.
So this thing should have surfaced recently.
"Not normal, absolutely not normal!"
Chen Lin observed and muttered to himself.
He didn't think his luck would be so good. From the time he traveled through time until now, pie in the sky had never fallen on him. Instead, all he got were various disasters. Such a huge benefit suddenly appeared, which made him tremble with fear.
In addition, he also discovered that since he assisted Fairy Mu and others in killing the remnant of Tianluo, his luck suddenly improved and everything went smoothly.
This should be a good thing, but he always felt uncomfortable.
He always feels that something bad is waiting for him, so he is careful everywhere.
Although he didn't want to take any risks, he couldn't just give up such a big treasure. After thinking about it, Chen Lin took out a communication talisman, activated it, and then stayed near the island, waiting quietly.
About ten days later, a beam of light appeared in the distance and arrived next to Chen Lin's spirit boat in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, it really is a gold yuan stone. Fellow Daoist Chen is really nice!"
The man who came was a burly man with a full beard and a strong aura. On his back was a half-foot wide sword.
"Haha, the attraction of the treasure is still great. Fellow Daoist Zhang is really fast."
Chen Lin invited the other party to board the spirit boat and teased with a smile.
The other party is the head of the Bamian Trading Company, named Zhang Zhenqian. He has reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and has very powerful means. Because he is a generous person, Chen Lin is very willing to deal with him. He has provided him with many elixirs over the years. The other party is also one of the few people who knows that he is a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.
The Bamian Trading Company was managed by a powerful Void Refining expert, and its business spread across the entire Tiancang Realm. He simply sold this Gold Yuan Stone Island to the other party.
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Zhang Zhenqian smiled again and said, "Needless to say, such a large island of gold and yuan stone is much more important than you, fellow Daoist Chen."
After saying that, he flew out from the spirit boat, fell on the island with shining eyes, and examined it carefully.
"Okay, okay, this purity is good!"
After digging out a piece of ore and taking a look at it, Zhang Zhenqian exclaimed in admiration.
Then, he took out a set of array-setting tools and began to set up a small teleportation array.
Seeing the other party's actions, Chen Lin hurried forward and said, "Why, you don't even want to talk about the price, don't you want to take it all for yourself?"
Zhang Zhenqian curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You look like a miser. How can I, a dignified Bamian Company, take advantage of you?"
He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, since you thought of me first when you had something to gain, I can't help but be righteous. How about this, I'll give you 10% of the profit this time, how about that, isn't that nice?"
"Get lost!"
Chen Lin cursed directly.
Then he said, "I'll give you 90% and you'll give me 10%, that's enough. I discovered this treasure, and you just helped to mine it. Giving you 10% is too much!"
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Zhenqian was not to be outdone, saying, "It will take you forever to mine such a large island of gold and stone by yourself. Besides, do you know how to refine it? Without our help, you can't even mine a corner of the island!"
The two of them argued back and forth, neither of them giving in, like street scoundrels, their faces turning red.
Finally, the two reached an agreement that 2+1 would make 50%, and each would get half of the proceeds.
In fact, this is what he originally said in the communication talisman. Now it has just been restored to its original state. However, the sense of ritual must be sufficient, otherwise the value cannot be realized.
After signing the spiritual contract, Zhang Zhenqian continued to set up the teleportation array. After the arrangement was completed, one figure after another walked out along the teleportation array.
Chen Lin was not worried that the other party would go back on his word and kill people for treasure.
On the one hand, he is bound by the spiritual contract, and on the other hand, he is confident in his own strength. As long as no powerful Void Refining expert appears, no matter how many people there are, they cannot do anything to him.
Only after more than a hundred people arrived did the teleportation array stop working.
When the monks who came later saw the island, they were amazed again.
At this time, a charming woman broke away from the crowd and came to Chen Lin's spiritual boat. She bowed slightly and said, "My name is Huang Ying, nice to meet you, Senior Chen."
"Huang Ying? Are you a family member of the owner of the business?"
Chen Lin took a glance and saw that the other party was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, but he was able to remain neither humble nor arrogant. It was obvious that they were of different identities. And the surname Huang was exactly the surname of the powerful Void Refiner from the Bamian Trading Company.
"Exactly."
Huang Ying nodded.
Then she added, "I have just been assigned to Wanling Market to assist Mr. Zhang in running the business there. I hope Brother Chen will support me in the future."
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Zhang Zhenqian who was secretly glancing over here from the side.
Then he laughed and said, "Haha, no problem, no problem. Zhang Zhenqian is so ungrateful. From now on, I will contact you, Huang Ying. To be honest, I may not be good at other things, but I am definitely an expert at refining pills. If you have any difficult pill recipes, just come to me. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Huang Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately bowed slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Chen."
Then she took out a small jade talisman and handed it to Chen Lin, saying, "This is my contact jade talisman. If you need any help in the future, just contact me directly."
"Haha, fine, then I will be disrespectful to refuse it!"
Chen Lin glanced at Zhang Zhenqian who was standing there silently, and put away the jade talisman with a smile on his face.
He remembered that when Chen Ling'er was promoted to the God Transformation Realm, the Bamian Trading Company sent a shopkeeper to win her over. At that time, he was wondering what Zhang Zhenqian was up to, but now it seems that it was this person who sent it.
It seems that wherever there are people, there will be struggles for power and profit, and monks are no exception.
