As soon as the middle-aged man stopped, the others stopped as well.
Chen Lin looked around.
There were five people in total on the other side. The leader was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, regular features, and cultivation in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which was close to perfection.
Judging from the opponent's momentum and the strength of his spiritual power, it can be concluded that he has opened up the realm of the primordial spirit and is definitely a leader among the group of cultivators who have reached the stage of spiritual transformation.
Next to him was an old man with a horse face, who was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. His expression and behavior seemed to show that he had a good relationship with the middle-aged man.
The other two men were in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and only one veiled woman was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, but she had also reached the state of perfection.
For the Tiancang Realm, this team is quite powerful and can even form a fairly large sect.
His cultivation at this moment was suppressed to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation, and Xiaocao's sword intent fluctuations were also not weak, so it was reasonable for the other party to stop and invite him.
Seeing that Chen Lin hadn't spoken yet, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Do you feel that this is a bit abrupt, fellow Taoist?"
Then he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to travel together, then just pretend I didn't say anything. However, the Immortal Palace is now the focus of this world, and all the powerful people are rushing there. Traveling together can deter the villains. If you travel alone, you may be in danger if you encounter someone with bad intentions."
Chen Lin looked at the other party, pretended to hesitate for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, I'd better obey your command!"
"Hahaha, no problem, with two fellow Taoists joining us, our team will be even stronger!"
The middle-aged man laughed heartily.
Then he pointed at himself and said, "My name is Yuan Kaijiang, and I'm a casual cultivator."
Then he pointed to the old man next to him and said, "This fellow Taoist is called Gu Yuanjing, and he is from the Gu family in Moding City in the north of the former Beiyuan Continent."
After saying that, he looked at the other three and said with a smile, "These three are just like you, fellow Taoists. They joined later. Please introduce yourselves."
"He Qingshan!"
"Han Zhen!"
The two men in the early stage of transformation were very frugal with words.
Instead, the veiled woman bowed lightly and said softly, "Junior Gu Jianfang greets the two seniors!"
After everyone had introduced themselves, Chen Lin clasped his fists and said, "I am Ye Fan, and this is my sister, from the Wanling Mountains. Please take good care of her, fellow Taoists!"
"Haha, no problem, we'll be companions from now on, so we should help each other."
Yuan Kaijiang seemed very happy.
He has the highest level of cultivation, so he is naturally the leader of this team.
If this identity can be used well, perhaps you can get a place in the Immortal Palace.
He had heard that the barrier outside the Immortal Palace was about to be broken, and that there might not only be a large number of immortal treasures there, but there was also said to be a passage that could lead one to leave this world and enter the fairyland!
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they cast spells together and flew straight towards the golden palace.
We met many monks on the way, and the lights of escape came one after another.
The closer you get to the palace, the more people there are.
There were not only Nascent Soul cultivators, but also quite a few Golden Core cultivators, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators were seen!
Chen Lin could only sigh at this. These low-level cultivators were very brave. Not to mention entering the Immortal Palace to search for treasures, they would probably find it difficult to resist even the energy fluctuations of the barrier outside the palace.
People die for money and birds die for food. This is indeed an eternal truth.
Along the way, whenever Yuan Kaijiang met some scattered Jindan cultivators, he would step forward to invite them. Most of them ended in failure, but he did manage to invite three people.
One is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation, and two are in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation.
The team grew by ten people.
Except for Gu Jianfang, they are all Divine Transformation cultivators!
Such a powerful team is basically not afraid of any force as long as they are not facing a powerful Void Refining Master.
The group arrived at a place not far below the palace and stopped to watch.
Countless figures and large spirit boats from various forces filled the entire sea.
The golden palace was suspended high above the clouds, with a layer of golden light shield outside. Several figures gathered on one side of the light shield, casting spells to attack the light shield in turns.
Chen Lin took a quick glance, but the distance was too far to see who was there clearly. It was also not convenient to use his spiritual sense to investigate, as that would seem like a provocation.
But I think they are only powerful Dao Yun masters. The attacks of ordinary Lianxu cultivators are of little significance. I just don't know if there are any resurrected ones.
He had no intention of getting closer to check, and planned to hide in the current team and wait and see what happened.
Yuan Kaijiang was in high spirits, but he whispered to everyone: "Fellow Daoists, this place is different from other places. Don't cause trouble without reason. If we offend Senior Lianxu, we won't be killed by him with just one finger. We are here to search for treasures, so just wait for the barrier to be broken."
Naturally, everyone had no objection.
This was exactly what Chen Lin wanted. He took out the spirit boat and enlarged it, inviting everyone to get on board to rest. He stood at the bow, watching the monks coming and going and observing the situation.
"What are you going to do!"
Suddenly, Xiaocao's vigilant voice sounded from behind.
Chen Lin retracted his gaze, turned around, looked at Gu Jianfang who was stopped by Xiao Cao, and said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Although he was looking into the distance, he was also aware of the movements on the spirit boat. This woman had already gone to find Yuan Kaijiang and two other mid-stage Jindan cultivators, and now she came to him again. She must have some request.
"Meet Senior Ye."
Gu Jianfang bowed, then said, "I would like to ask you, senior, if you have any items that can help you advance to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If you do, I am willing to trade you my treasure."
Chen Lin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the other party's purpose was this.
The other party was really bold. He went to ask the Jindan monks one by one, not afraid of the treasure being coveted and losing his life.
Since he had nothing to do now, he looked at the other person with interest and said, "What treasure can you take out? Tell me first."
He still has a few Zhigedan in his hand. If the other party can give him something useful, there is no harm in trading.
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Gu Jianfang was stunned for a moment, then an excited expression appeared on his face.
Then he transmitted his voice, "I have something in my hand that you must need, but I will first confirm that you do have something to help you advance to the God Transformation stage before I can give it to you."
Chen Lin didn't say anything more. He just took out a bottle of pills and threw it to the other party.
At the same time, he transmitted his voice: "This is the Zhige Pill, which can increase the chance of breaking through to the God Transformation by 30%. Take out your stuff. If it is really useful to me, this pill is yours!"
Gu Jianfang didn't expect Chen Lin to be so happy, and couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.
But he still looked at it with anticipation, opened the pill bottle and looked inside.
Then a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
The hands holding the pill bottle were shaking a little.
She had been searching for something to assist in her advancement to the God Transformation stage for countless years. Naturally, she had heard of the name of the Zhige Pill and had also read the introduction of the pill. It was indeed exactly the same as the pill in the pill bottle!
"Thank you, senior!"
Gu Jianfang calmed down after his long-cherished wish was fulfilled.
He carefully replaced the lid of the pill bottle, then took out a jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows.
When Chen Lin saw the other party's actions, he couldn't help but look surprised.
It seemed that the other party's trading item was a martial art or a secret technique, which was beyond his expectations.
However, if the other party thought that he was a Divine Transformation cultivator and used Divine Transformation-level secret techniques, he would be disappointed.
Gu Jianfang quickly finished entering the information and solemnly handed the jade slip to Chen Lin.
He said in a voice transmission: "The contents of this jade slip are only known to me, so please do not spread it to others."
Chen Lin did not respond, but weighed the jade slip in his hand and injected his spiritual thoughts into it.
Soon, a strange expression appeared on his face.
After a while, he retracted his mind, looked at the other party seriously and said, "Where did you get the information here? Can it be guaranteed to be accurate?"
Gu Jianfang immediately shook his head and said, "I just got it by chance, and I can't confirm its authenticity, but since the Immortal Palace appeared, it must be true."
Chen Lin's eyes flickered and he looked at the other person deeply.
Gu Jianfang suddenly became nervous and said hurriedly: "I have practiced the secret art of soul-fixing, so I cannot be soul-searched. If you suspect me, I can sign a spiritual contract to ensure that the information I give you is not false!"
Chen Lin still didn't say anything.
After a while, he transmitted his message: "This matter is very important. It concerns whether I need to take risks, so I can't just listen to your one-sided words."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued: "I don't believe in the spirit contract either. If you want to get the Zhige Pill, then follow me into the spirit boat and cooperate with me in casting a spell to ask a few questions!"
After saying that, he asked Xiaocao to guard outside while he walked towards the entrance inside the spirit boat.
Gu Jianfang hesitated for a moment, but when his eyes fell on the pill bottle in his hand, he gritted his teeth and followed.
The two of them entered the secret room inside the spirit boat one after the other, attracting the attention of other people in the team.
Especially Yuan Kaijiang, his brows were furrowed.
"Friend Yuan, these two guys don't take you, the captain, seriously. They actually ran into the cabin to fool around. They really don't care about the impact!"
An old voice sounded, it was Gu Yuanjing.
He knew that Yuan Kaijiang was somewhat interested in this woman, otherwise he would not have allowed a Nascent Soul cultivator to stay in the team. He did not expect that before he could get his hands on her, she was taken away by someone else.
Yuan Kaijiang's face was gloomy, but he still said, "Don't speculate. Maybe they went to trade privately. Isn't Gu Jianfang looking for items to help him advance to the God Transformation stage?"
Gu Yuanjing smiled faintly, and then said meaningfully: "What kind of transaction requires going to the secret room in the cabin? Can't they just fly farther away? And that Chen didn't even bring his sister, it's too obvious."
Yuan Kaijiang frowned when he heard this, glanced at Xiaocao, and walked over.
"I don't know what to call you, friend?"
Although the other party was not as strong as him, Yuan Kaijiang still behaved very politely.
But after waiting for a while, he found that the other party ignored him and didn't even look at him.
He couldn't help feeling a little angry, but he forced himself to hold it back. He ignored the other party and walked straight towards the cabin entrance.
"stop!"
Xiao Cao's figure flashed, and a sword light suddenly lit up, slashing straight at Yuan Kaijiang!
