Hearing Liu Shengyuan's words, Chen Lin looked strange.
I wondered if the magic coins I placed there were taken away by the girl in the painting and used to buy food
Although the idea was ridiculous, he couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Have you ever been monitored using the Image Pearl?"
Chen Lin looked at Liu Shengyuan and asked.
Liu Shengyuan immediately replied: "Reporting to the Lord, I have tested it, but with the image-retaining beads, the painting scroll has not changed, and the magic coins placed there will not disappear."
Chen Lin nodded.
It seems that these "outsiders" have been under surveillance since they entered the node. It is naturally impossible for him to monitor the inside in return.
But in this case, he became powerless to understand the situation inside.
"Keep experimenting!"
Chen Lin ordered in a deep voice.
He suddenly became interested in the painting and wanted to find out what it was. Regardless of who the girl in women's clothes was, the painting must be a good thing and would be of great use if he could bring it to the real world.
However, if you want to test whether you can bring it out, you must first figure out the girl in green. Otherwise, what you bring out will not be a treasure, but a disaster.
Liu Shengyuan took the order and left.
But after more than two months, there was still no progress.
Not only did he fail to explore the situation inside the node, but he also lost several magic coins. The food in the green-clothed girl's hand was changed again and again, from snacks to fruits, and finally even roasted chicken and roasted duck. It seemed that she treated him as a money-giving boy.
Chen Lin was speechless for a while, but since there was no danger from all this trouble, he felt relieved and returned to the ancient cave under the sea with Hua Ruyu.
After waiting for another half a month and still having no new news, he took Hua Ruyu into the node again.
The scroll was hung back on the wall.
This was done by the old cultivator for the purpose of testing, but whether the scroll was opened or closed, the result was the same.
Chen Lin stood under the scroll and examined it attentively, thinking in his mind how to resolve this situation, but he could not find a solution no matter how hard he thought.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly. The demon world was really helpless. He had originally thought of using this place as a retreat, but now he couldn't even get out of the gate.
Moreover, if we don’t understand this painting, we wouldn’t dare use this place as a safe haven.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin shook his head, called Hua Ruyu who was checking in the yard, and prepared to leave. There was not much time left for Yue Tianyi's Refining Ceremony. It was estimated that Xin Yueling and others had already arrived at the Wanling Mountains. He had to go back and take a look.
At this moment, Chen Lin's expression changed and he looked at the scroll in surprise.
The girl in green in the scroll suddenly blinked at him and pointed at the big cherries in the box in her hand, as if she wanted to express something, but as Hua Ruyu walked into the room, she returned to her still state.
"What's wrong Master?"
Seeing Chen Lin staring at the scroll with a strange look on his face, Hua Ruyi immediately asked, and at the same time, the two black horns on his head emitted a black light, preparing to activate some kind of magical power.
"It's okay, let's go."
Chen Lin took a breath, didn't elaborate, looked deeply at the girl in the painting, then broke through the node and left with Hua Ruyu.
Outside the node, Chen Lin telepathically told Hua Ruyu about the situation, but did not tell Liu Shengyuan and others.
He felt that the girl in the painting seemed to want to communicate with him, but only with him, so he didn't want to spread the news before things were made clear, lest the girl shrink back and become silent.
Of course, he didn't dare to take the risk of staying there any longer. Although his strength had improved a lot, he couldn't be careless in a place like the Demon Realm.
Hua Ruyu showed a look of surprise and also transmitted the message: "If so, will that painting be listed as the treasure of the cave heaven mentioned in the ancient books?"
Chen Lin nodded slightly.
He had the same idea, otherwise he wouldn't have been thinking about the painting.
The so-called treasure of the cave is a kind of space treasure that can hold living things. This kind of treasure only exists in ancient cultivation books and has never been heard of appearing anywhere. He once thought that the fairy ring would be it, but it disappointed him.
However, according to records in classics, although the treasure of the cave can accommodate living things, it cannot isolate heaven and earth like a storage bag. Therefore, the items placed inside will deteriorate quickly just like those placed outside. If it is simply used as a storage space, it is not as good as a storage bag.
Of course, its value is far beyond that of a storage bag, even the fairy ring cannot compare to it.
"Master is interested in that painting?"
Hua Ruyu's voice was heard.
"How could I not be interested in such a treasure? However, the girl only seems to respond to me and ignores others. Moreover, if there are other people around me, they will not communicate with me. If I want to find out, I have to go in alone."
Chen Lin transmitted the message for analysis.
Hua Ruyu immediately advised, "Master, it is better not to take risks. The creatures in the demon world have been distorted by the rules and become extremely elusive. We cannot be fooled by appearances. The girl in green looks delicate, but as long as she is within the rules, we cannot contend with her. Moreover, the painting may not be the treasure of the cave. It may just be a special sealing item used to seal demons and ghosts."
"Haha, don't worry, I won't act rashly. I'm just curious as to why the woman in the painting only reacted to me. Could it be that she fell in love with me because I'm handsome and powerful?"
Just a little joke.
But this is indeed the doubt in Chen Lin's mind.
If the woman in the painting wanted to seek help from someone, or wanted to deceive people to achieve some purpose, it would be the same no matter who she looked for; there was no need to wait for him.
At this time, Hua Ruyu's voice sounded, saying: "This may really be the reason. After all, except for you, the master, all the men who entered are old men. Why don't we find a more handsome monk to come and try?"
It was originally a joke, but after hearing what the other party said, Chen Lin also became interested.
If this is really the reason, it would be better to find someone else to do it. He doesn't want to be targeted by a demon creature.
Do what you say.
Chen Lin immediately called Liu Shengyuan to his side and told him his idea.
"This time, find someone younger, and his cultivation shouldn't be too low, at least above the Golden Core stage. The remuneration is up to you, but you must know his background well, and you must sign a soul contract. You must explain this in advance."
If you want to seduce someone, you can't go to Lao Xiu. No matter how handsome he is, he is not that handsome.
But a cultivator above the Jindan stage who has no worries about his lifespan must also be handsome and elegant, and it is difficult to find one without spending a lot of money.
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
Not long after, Liu Shengyuan returned with a graceful Jindan cultivator.
This man is called Bai Yuzhou. His cultivation is a little weak, only in the early stage of Golden Core, but his appearance and temperament are absolutely amazing. He can charm a lot of women wherever he goes.
After Chen Lin understood the situation, he signed a soul contract with the other party and let the other party enter the node.
But after all the trouble, Bai Yuzhou did not make the girl in the painting react.
The other party completely recreated the steps he took to enter, put the magic coins in, and broke the door lock, but apart from losing a few more magic coins, he gained nothing.
"Tell me, is it possible that this person is not the type that the girl likes and cannot arouse the waves in her heart? Should we try another person?"
Chen Lin and Hua Ruyu communicated via telepathy.
Hua Ruyu pondered for a moment and replied: "I think it's not a matter of appearance, maybe it's a matter of cultivation."
Chen Lin frowned immediately.
If it was about cultivation level, it would be difficult to deal with. Not to mention how many young-looking Void Refining cultivators there are, it is impossible for such a strong man to be at his mercy, let alone signing a soul contract.
Just as he was thinking, Hua Ruyu's voice sounded again, "Master, I don't think that girl communicated with you because she was infatuated. After all, no girl would eat and drink in front of a man she likes. You must have something else that the other party likes."
