After pondering for a while, Chen Lin really couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
However, after encountering such a strange incident, he didn't dare to stay in this cave and went straight back to the previous level.
This time it went more smoothly and I made it all the way back to the first floor.
After sensing the faint induction of the Two Realms Talisman, he tried to activate it, only to see the Two Realms Talisman burst out with a dazzling light that enveloped him, and then disappeared on the spot.
When he appeared again, he was already in the valley outside.
Chen Lin quickly took a look around and discovered that it was indeed the mountain range where he entered the cave, and not the old Taoist's space. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
After putting away the golden elixir puppet, he did not wait for others, but spread his body and flew away.
Three months later.
Chen Lin sat on the spirit boat, drifting downstream, looking at the scenery on both sides.
He was playing with a copper coin in his hand.
This river is called Wantong River. It is the largest and longest river on the Zhenling Continent. It runs through the entire continent, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful. Many cultivators like to go boating on the river to improve their state of mind and increase their understanding of the Tao.
After watching for a while, Chen Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at a red-scaled carp jumping out of the water.
"Hey, hey, little fish, you are so playful. You don't fall into the water, you fly onto the boat!"
As his voice with a dynamic beat sounded, the copper coin in his hand suddenly emitted a fluorescent light, and then the red-scaled carp that had just fallen back into the water jumped again and directly onto the boat.
Chen Lin stretched out his hand, took the fish, looked at it, and threw it back into the water.
Then he began to look at the copper coin in his hand, feeling a little happy but also a little helpless.
He spent half a month pondering over this thing, and he actually refined it and figured out its use, and it is also very powerful.
However, in addition to the need for soul power to activate it, it also requires the cooperation of "mantra", and the mantra must begin with "yoyoyo", followed by four paragraphs of three words. These words should indicate the purpose you want to achieve, and they must also rhyme and be loud.
None of these conditions can be missing.
No wonder the ghost in the jar screams every time it attacks. It seems like it has to scream.
Chen Lin liked the treasure very much. After all, it was a rule treasure, and it was driven by soul power, which was just suitable for him. Moreover, the power it displayed was invisible and traceless, giving the enemy no chance to defend or dodge.
But this activation mantra is too weird. Every time I use it, I have to shout loudly. I have completely lost the image of a master. People who don’t know me would think I am a fool.
I don’t know who designed this treasure. His train of thought is really different from that of ordinary people.
After playing with it for a while, he shook his head, found a tough animal tendon, tied the copper coin to it and hung it around his waist.
No matter how awkward the method of use is, you have to use it when the critical moment comes.
Then, Chen Lin took out another pill bottle.
It was the one that the old Taoist gave him. After opening it, there was a round pill inside, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
He poured out the pills and observed them repeatedly.
It took a while before I put it back together.
He has checked this pill countless times these days. In his opinion, it is a normal pill and there is nothing abnormal about it, and it has nothing to do with ghosts.
But he didn't dare to use it himself.
The appearance of the old Taoist and the child was too strange. Even if the pill was fine, he would feel psychological pressure after taking it, which would be detrimental to his advancement to the realm of refining emptiness.
Of course we can't throw it away, that would be a waste of resources.
The best way is to trade it out in exchange for other treasures, and he now wants to go to a large city in front, Xuandu City.
Putting his thoughts aside, Chen Lin stood at the bow and continued to visit the beautiful scenery along the coast.
This scene reminded him of the time when he was in the lower world and went boating on the Jinshui River in South Korea with Hu Xishan Yu Zimo.
At that time, the three of them were in high spirits and commented on the fairies of Wuzhen Tower on the boat. Although their cultivation was shallow, they were very free and easy.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere was ruined by Mrs. Bones later.
A look from the other party almost killed him, and frightened the three of them so much that they dared not breathe, which also strengthened his determination to become stronger.
However, as his cultivation level increased, he felt more and more insignificant, especially after learning about Luo's existence and the traveling merchants' statement about the "leaves", he felt that the road ahead was increasingly difficult.
Slowly, Chen Lin's eyes became firm.
He was able to walk out of Kaiyuan City and come to the present step by step. He can continue to move forward. Difficulties and obstacles are not scary. What is scary is losing the heart to pursue the Tao. As long as his mind is firm, one day he will break through the fog and see the light!
These memories and firm beliefs deepened Chen Lin's understanding of spiritual practice.
He had a feeling that the opportunity for promotion was not far away.
After more than ten days, there were more and more boats on the river, and the figures of monks kept appearing, and then a towering city came into view.
We have arrived at our destination.
The city was built by the river, with buildings on both sides of the river and a bridge that looks like a giant dragon spanning the two banks.
The three big characters "Xuan Du Cheng" on the bridge are like sharp swords, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Chen Lin put away the spirit boat, took a look at it, and flew to the city gate on the left.
Showing his spiritual power, no one dared to stop him and he entered the city smoothly.
This city is a prosperous commercial city, and is said to be managed by three large sects.
But he had no intention of finding out more. He was just passing by and would leave after collecting some resources.
He didn't even plan to stay in the True Spirit Continent, and planned to visit other continents.
"Do you have soul-crossing grass here?"
After a little inquiry, Chen Lin arrived at the largest shop in the city, Xuanling Pavilion, and went directly to the third floor which only received high-level cultivators.
The receptionist was a beautiful female cultivator. After hearing what Chen Lin said, she immediately shook her head and said, "Senior, you are joking. Treasures like that cannot be sold in a store. They are very rare even in large auctions."
Chen Lin was not disappointed.
The other party was right. Something of the level of Soul-Ferrying Grass was indeed not something that could be bought casually, otherwise he would not have to go to the cave in person.
Unfortunately, when he sent a communication talisman to Zhang Zhenqian, the other party did not respond, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive. Otherwise, he could have asked the other party whether he had received it.
"Then are there any high-end trade fairs in the city recently?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
Such a big city is mainly based on business, so there must be many trade fairs.
The beautiful woman's expression changed, and she said, "It seems that you are new to this city, and you don't even know about the treasure appraisal conference that will be held soon?"
"oh?"
Chen Lin looked surprised.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that there would be a treasure appraisal conference held here. I must participate in it and sell that solid pill.
"You're right. I really just arrived here. So what does the treasure appraisal conference say? When does it start?"
After some communication, Chen Lin bought some materials and left the store.
Then I inquired in other places and confirmed the information.
This treasure appraisal conference is not an ordinary trade fair. Participants are required to first produce treasures that are precious enough and be recognized before they are eligible to participate. Moreover, the treasures produced must be traded.
With this method, there will naturally be a lot of good things, and Chen Lin became interested.
However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he found an inn to stay in and then continued his exploration.
Treasures are attractive to people, and showing off your treasures can easily lead to trouble. If you are not sure it is safe, you should not rashly participate.
After learning the details, Chen Lin learned that this conference was jointly hosted by the three major sects, and that a spiritual contract had been signed to ensure the safety of the participants. In this case, he could participate, so he came to the venue of the treasure appraisal conference.
"This fellow Taoist is quite unfamiliar. He is not a cultivator from this city, right? Do you know the rules of this conference?"
To Chen Lin's surprise, the people who came to receive him turned out to be cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and there were three of them.
This made him feel more at ease. It seemed that the three major sects attached great importance to this conference.
"Fellow Daoist, you have a keen eye. This is indeed my first time here. I have already understood the rules. This is what I want to participate in the treasure appraisal this time."
After saying that, he took out the pill bottle containing the solid pill and placed it on the treasure appraisal table.
The Divine Transformation cultivator in charge of the reception did not take any action. Instead, he first took out a photo bead and activated it, then placed a sound bead, and finally made a gesture of invitation to a white-browed old man next to him.
"Mr. He, I'd still like to trouble you to come and take a look."
The Divine Transformation cultivator was very polite to the old man, and it seemed that he was of a respected status.
The white-browed old man nodded, walked to the table, picked up the pill bottle, checked its appearance first, and then opened the bottle.
"Huh?"
When the old man smelled the medicinal fragrance, he exclaimed in surprise.
He took a look at the bottle mouth, poured out the pill with excitement, and after a careful inspection, he said in surprise: "It is really a solid pill. Are you sure you want to use this to participate in the conference? If you are sure, you must take it out for trading."
"Sure."
Chen Lin nodded.
Then he added: "But this pill was obtained by me by chance. I cannot guarantee whether it has any flaws. Traders need to check it themselves."
"Haha, don't worry about that, fellow Daoist. We are responsible for inspecting all treasures participating in the appraisal conference. We will be responsible if there are any problems. But at the same time, for the treasures on display, we have the priority to purchase them at the same price, and we will charge some fees."
The old man explained, then took out a round treasure disc, placed the pill on it, and continued to examine it.
A quarter of an hour later.
He put the pill back into the pill bottle, nodded to the receiving Divine Transformation Monk, and returned to his seat.
"What's your name, Daoist friend? Do you have any requirements for the treasure transaction?"
The Divine Transformation cultivator looked at Chen Lin and began to ask for information.
"My last name is Chen. As for your request, I would like to exchange it for a treasure that can also be used to stabilize the body, or spiritual medicines such as Soul Crossing Grass."
Chen Lin mentioned several types of materials he needed, all of which were rare.
