The Chen family’s shop was decorated with lights and a grand banquet was held.
Xu Zhengren, the old shopkeeper who had been in business for more than 200 years, married the proprietress of Liu's steamed stuffed buns shop, attracting all the neighbors to come and congratulate him.
Although Liu Jia Sanniang's store business was not very good and her reputation was not very good, she was pretty and charming, and she was only in her thirties. The old housekeeper could be considered an old cow eating young grass.
The old housekeeper was extremely moved by Chen Lin's efforts.
He knew his own status. If it weren't for Chen Lin, he wouldn't have his current status and position. He would have turned into a handful of dirt long ago.
He was just a slave, and everything was given by Chen Lin.
Liu Sanniang was also in awe of Chen Lin, the mysterious proprietor. After all, she was well-informed and knew something about this proprietor. It was said that he was a close friend of the county magistrate who had disappeared.
Chen Lin was also smiling.
Liu Sanniang is the daughter of the Liu family and the only descendant of the Liu family in this generation. After the death of the old man of the previous generation of the Liu family, he handed over the management rights of the Liu family steamed bun shop to the other party. The old housekeeper married the other party, which meant that the Liu family steamed bun shop was indirectly under his control.
Although Liujia Baozi Shop is just a name, it has great significance.
Mastering this name means that any outsider who comes here in the future will have to rely on him. If he wants people to complete the task, then they will complete it. If he doesn't want them to complete it, then the other party will be trapped here.
This is almost equivalent to mastering the scene. It would be even more perfect if he could get the official position of county magistrate.
However, not everyone can be the county magistrate here. It seems that certain conditions are required. Xiong Ziqi has been missing for so many years, and there has been no new county magistrate in office.
However, the position of the chief constable has changed hands. He was promoted from a former constable and was appointed by other adjutants of the county government.
Various pieces of information flashed through Chen Lin's mind, but he didn't have time to study them for the time being, so he could only keep them in his heart.
If one wants to take over as county magistrate, one must first obtain ninth-rank official status, which is not an easy thing to do.
On the second day after their wedding, Liu Sanniang and the old housekeeper cleaned up and took down the plaque of the Liu family's bun shop.
Chen Lin took the plaque and prepared to hang it above his own shop himself.
This plaque is an heirloom of the Liu family. Only by hanging this plaque can it represent authenticity.
To the local demon creatures, the brand of Liu's steamed buns shop has become useless and the taste is too bad, so the plaque is worthless and is too hard to be used as firewood.
But for outsiders like Chen Lin, this is fate!
"Um?"
Chen Lin checked the plaque and suddenly expressed his doubts.
Then he fumbled along the characters on the plaque for a while, and finally pressed hard on the character "Liu", and the entire character came off.
This word is actually alive!
"ah!"
Liu Sanniang exclaimed.
She had taken over the Liu family steamed bun shop for so many years, but she never knew there was such a secret in the plaque. She immediately went forward to take a look.
Then Chen Lin stretched out his hand and took out a paper roll from the groove below the handwriting.
After unfolding it, there are densely packed tiny handwriting on it.
Chen Lin took a look and his eyes suddenly lit up.
What is recorded above is the original recipe of Liu’s Baozi Shop!
He couldn't help but feel secretly surprised. This was truly a turn of events for him.
I was originally worried that the bun shop would fail and the mission would not be completed, but now not only has the bun shop in my hands, I also got the original recipe. This is the magic of fate.
In an instant, Chen Lin gained a better understanding of fate, and the origin of his talent inexplicably increased a little.
This made his heart move, and then he was overjoyed!
It turns out that the source of talent can grow in this way!
Until now, he has not found a normal way to increase his innate origin. Apart from the increase when he breaks through a higher realm, he can only rely on external forces such as the Origin Ball, but it is very difficult.
He had been searching hard, wondering if there was some method of cultivation that could help him improve, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, this accident gave him an opportunity!
"I will keep this formula for now and give it to you in a year. You two just need to set up the shop first. I will make you some elixirs that can prolong your lifespan and keep you young forever. You should refine the elixirs within this year. This will be my wedding gift to you."
Chen Lin put away the recipe and said to Liu Sanniang.
He is going to use this recipe at the food festival, so it cannot be spread for the time being.
"ah!"
When Liu Sanniang heard the words "extend life" and "eternal youth", she instantly put the matter of the recipe aside.
No woman can resist the words "eternal youth".
Moreover, everyone in the entire county knew that the reason why Xu Zhengren could live so long was not because of his successful cultivation, but because there was a mysterious owner behind him who gave him an elixir of life, so what this owner said would definitely come true.
"Thank you, sir!"
Liu Sanniang hurriedly thanked him and made the matter final, fearing that Chen Lin would go back on his word.
Seeing this, the old housekeeper at the side quietly pulled Liu Sanniang's sleeve. He knew how powerful Chen Lin was, and Liu Sanniang's little tricks could not be hidden in front of him.
Chen Lin didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, hurry up and steam the buns. If a beggar comes to ask for some, give him a basket."
Liu Sanniang was stunned, feeling that the owner's thoughts were a little erratic. He was just talking about the elixir, but how come he suddenly shifted the focus to the beggar
But after receiving a signal from the old housekeeper, she did not dare to ask any more questions and just agreed.
Then, the newlywed couple started making buns, and Chen Lin left the shop and headed straight for Taiqing Mountain.
I walked around in the cave behind the waterfall and then stood in front of a stone wall.
There is a mark on the stone wall that you won’t notice unless you look carefully. It is the secret mark agreed upon by him and Chen Ling’er.
Seeing this secret sign, he felt a lot more relieved.
The fact that they were able to leave a secret mark meant that the other party was prepared to leave, rather than an accident occurring. It was highly likely that the Immortal Palace had already set off.
He stretched out his hand and shook the stone wall lightly, and the stone wall cracked, revealing a box.
I took out the box and opened it, and there was a letter inside.
"Daddy, where are you? We are all leaving. Lord Zishu has completed the preparations for the Inspiring Fairy Palace and will set off in three months. There are ten places in total. He has taken away everyone who can be taken, and also gave one to me. You don't have to worry.
Lord Zishu said that there seemed to be a problem in the fairyland. The perception of the fairy palace was very weak, and it was not known whether it could be safely arrived. Dad, if you come back here, please go to Yucai Sect. I left some resources in the secret room. They are all spiritual herbs collected over the years. Dad should be able to use them.
Dad, how are you doing now? I miss you so much. Aunt and mother miss you so much that they cry often. They don’t want to leave yet and want to stay in Tiancang Realm to wait for you. But I know that Dad will definitely be able to ascend to heaven and become an immortal in the future, so I took them away first. Otherwise, it will be impossible for them to ascend.
Dad, we are leaving first. Let’s contact each other at the Wanjie League scene. Dad, no matter when you come here, you must go to the Wanjie League scene when you see this letter. We are all very worried about you…”
Chen Lin finished reading the entire letter and stood there in silence for a long time.
Who says that practitioners should be ruthless? This kind of deep friendship is what practitioners should protect.
He was also a little worried. According to the information he had learned, the fairyland seemed to have been shattered. He didn't know whether he could return to the Fairy Palace safely, and whether he would encounter danger after returning.
If calculated according to the time point, it seems that when the mark in the cave of the Ten Thousand Worlds Alliance was interrupted, it was the day when the Immortal Palace left.
However, the rules of the fairy world are powerful, and it is possible that it is impossible to project into the demon world from there. After all, he has never encountered a fairy in the demon world scene.
After pondering for a while, Chen Lin took out the stone slab again and stimulated it with his innate power.
Then he raised his eyebrows, and the rules and patterns were revealed again, which showed that the space of the Demon Suppression Sutra had not collapsed.
Of course, it was impossible for him to go in again. He didn't want to be trapped for another hundred years.
Putting away the stone slab, Chen Lin looked at the cave, then turned and left.
He changed into beggar's clothes on the way, then came to his own shop and asked Liu Sanniang for a basket of buns.
Liu Sanniang obviously recognized Chen Lin, but she refrained from asking.
This greatly improved Chen Lin's evaluation of this woman.
When he got the bun, he felt as if some shackles on his body had disappeared.
This is mission accomplished.
If he didn't explore the Demon Realm often, he might not feel it, but he was already a frequent visitor to the Demon Realm and was very familiar with this feeling.
The mission was accomplished, his life was no longer in danger, and Chen Lin finally let go of his worries.
Then, he went to Li Fuyao's courtyard to take a look, but still found nothing unusual.
However, the seal here has been lifted, and there is no obstacle to entering and exiting. There are obvious signs of a search in the yard, and it seems that nothing valuable is left, even the painting is gone.
The nodes are still there, but they have become very weak and cannot be detected without extremely strong sensitivity.
Chen Lin is now a projection. Although he has a soul seed and can probably survive in the real world for a period of time, he dare not experiment blindly.
I decided to wait until I have the chance in the future and bring Xiaocao in. With Xiaocao around, if the projection shows signs of collapse in the real world, I can immediately use the medium to enter other scenes, just like when I left the bloody handkerchief scene.
Thinking of the bloody handkerchief scene, Chen Lin thought of Yun Xiu Niang again. If Xiong Ziqi got Xiao Hong's help this time, he could try to let the other party help Yun Xiu Niang as well to see if he could rescue Yun Xiu Niang.
However, so many years have passed, Yun Xiu Niang may have already left that scene, so we should send someone in to investigate the situation first.
Then, many faces appeared in Chen Lin’s mind, all of them were relatives and friends from the past.
It is estimated that most of these people have exhausted their lifespans and not many of them can survive.
"well!"
All the thoughts finally turned into a sigh.
Chen Lin's figure quickly faded and disappeared.
