Chen Lin directly traveled through the void to Yu Lu City.
The food festival is coming soon, and there is no time to take it slow, so he might as well reveal his identity as a Void Refining Monk.
"Which Taoist friend is here?"
Just as he emerged from the void, a graceful figure also emerged from the void and blocked the way ahead.
Chen Lin took a look at the woman. She had an excellent appearance and looked very young. She was wearing a white robe with a waist and embroidered with some beautiful flowers. Standing there, she gave people a sense of being inviolable.
"But Master Yuan? I am Chen Lin from Ruyi Island, and I'm here to visit you specially!"
The other party's appearance matched the information he had gathered. He should be Yuan Xi, the head of the Yu Lu Sect, a cultivator in the early stage of the Refinement Realm.
Yuan Xi's eyes flashed, and he bowed slightly and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chen, but he is the owner of the floating island behind Liangtian Continent."
"Exactly!"
Chen Lin nodded.
He was not surprised that the other party knew of his existence.
The perception of the Void Refining cultivator is powerful, and the other party is the leader of a superpower in the Liangtian Continent, so naturally he has all the information from all parties.
Then he explained, "I was originally in the upper space, but because I encountered a group of human-faced mosquitoes, I lowered the floating island a little. I happened to see this continent passing by, so I followed behind. However, I had no ill intentions, I just wanted to enter this continent to trade resources."
"Human-faced mosquito?"
Yuan Xi's expression changed, as if he thought of something bad.
Then she said, "You are able to escape from the attack of the human-faced mosquitoes. Your strength is truly extraordinary. If you don't mind, why don't you go to Yulu Gate and let me serve as your host."
"Obedience is worse than respect. Thank you very much for the hospitality, Master Yuan!"
This was exactly what Chen Lin intended, so he readily agreed.
He also had the cultivation level of the initial stage of Refining Void, so Yuan Xi did not feel any fear towards him. He directly led him to the sect's reception hall and seated him as host and guest.
"Fellow Daoist Chen deliberately lured me out this time. Is there something going on?"
After asking the maid to serve the spiritual tea, Yuan Xi spoke frankly and asked directly.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Master Yuan is really a straightforward person. Yes, I came here to ask for a favor."
"But you can say it!"
Yuan Xi was calm and composed and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Chen Lin did not try to hide anything and said bluntly, "It's nothing serious. I just want to trade the formula of the spiritual dew with your sect."
Yuan Xi did not look surprised. The only thing about their Yulu Sect that made the Lianxu cultivators concerned was the spiritual dew.
"If I heard correctly, you said the formula of the spiritual dew, not the spiritual dew?"
There is a huge difference between Linglu and Linglu’s formula.
If the other party wanted the spiritual dew, she would naturally not refuse it based on her status as a Void Refining cultivator, but the formula was the foundation of their sect, and no copy would be passed on to others.
Chen Lin sensed the unhappiness in the other party's tone, but still nodded and said, "Although it's a bit abrupt, what Chen needs is indeed the formula."
Then he explained, "But don't worry, Sect Leader Yuan. I can sign a contract and will not use the formula in the floating world, nor will I pass the formula on again. It will never affect the business of Yulu Sect, and I can pay a reward that will satisfy Sect Leader Yuan."
"Not used in the floating world?"
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chen controls the passage to other realms?"
Chen Lin smiled and said, "I guess so, but it's not in the normal world, but in the demon world. I think Sect Leader Yuan should know the existence of the demon world."
"The demon world?"
Yuan Xi frowned slightly. Although she had never explored the demon world, she still had some understanding of it. It was not a good place.
Thinking of this, she looked at Chen Lin and said, "The formula of the spiritual dew is the foundation of our Yulu Sect. It should never be passed on to others. But since Fellow Daoist Chen came to our door in person, I must give him some face. I can make the deal and give Fellow Daoist Chen a copy of the spiritual dew formula, but only one copy. More than one is absolutely impossible."
Chen Lin did not comment, and said: "Then I wonder how many kinds of spiritual dew formulas your sect has mastered, and are there any levels of classification?"
This is not a secret. Yuan Xi immediately replied: "There are nine kinds of spiritual dew formulas in our sect, divided into three levels. The third level has five kinds, the second level has three kinds, and the first level has only one kind. Which one do you want to choose?"
"May I be allowed to taste some of these spiritual dews first? Don't worry, I will pay you double for any taste of these spiritual dews."
The evaluation criteria of Gourmet Island are different from those of the monks, so he needs to taste it himself to be sure.
It is also possible that all the spiritual dews do not meet the standards, in which case there is no need to waste time.
"Can."
Yuan Xi nodded and immediately asked the maid to bring up a portion of all the spiritual dew.
She didn't know how strong Chen Lin was, and didn't want to have a conflict with him because of some spiritual dew. What's more, their Yu Lu Sect was in a troublesome situation and could not afford to make another strong enemy.
While waiting, Chen Lin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master Yuan, I came to this world from the Demon Realm. I don't know much about the situation in this world. May I ask you something?"
Yuan Xi was slightly stunned, and asked with some doubt: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chen is from another realm?"
"Exactly!"
Chen Lin smiled and nodded.
What he wanted to ask were some common sense questions. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other party would be suspicious, so it was better to express it himself.
But this aroused Yuan Xi's interest, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, can you please tell us about other interfaces?"
"sure!"
Now that this matter has been mentioned, it is natural to expect that the other party will ask about it. Chen Lin did not care and simply explained the situation of the Tiancang Realm and the Tianxuan Realm.
Yuan Xi was a little disappointed after hearing this, and sighed: "It seems that no realm is stable. It is really too difficult for us cultivators to find a comfortable training environment."
Chen Lin felt the same way, and then asked, "From what Fellow Daoist Yuan said, this floating world doesn't seem to be very stable?"
"It depends on how you put it."
Yuan Xi sighed and said, "If you don't care about the training environment, there is naturally no danger in surviving in this low-altitude area. The void creatures at this altitude are at most level five, and there are rarely level six. We, the void cultivators, are more than capable of dealing with it."
He immediately added: "But similarly, this high level of cultivation environment is not satisfactory. Fellow Daoist Chen should have felt this."
Yuan Xi shook his head. "So there is a dilemma. If you want to be safe, you can't get a good training environment. If you want a good training environment, you have to increase your altitude to face the dangers that may appear at any time. For example, the human-faced mosquito that Daoyou Chen mentioned before is a void creature that often appears at the next altitude. If we, the cultivators in the early stage of refining the void, encounter it, we will basically perish. I am very shocked that Daoyou was able to escape."
Chen Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there no large land in the space above? Can I practice under the protection of a strong man?"
Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Yes, there are, but they are relatively few. Most of the floating islands are small or medium-sized. Generally, there is only one force on each island. It may be a sect or a family. There are not many like the Liangtian Continent."
After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, those who can occupy large landmasses on the upper level are all super powerful. Even if we are accepted, we are still marginal. When we encounter powerful dangers, we will be sent to charge in the front. It is not good to dominate one side by ourselves."
"Fellow Daoist Yuan is right."
Chen Lin deeply agreed with this.
Living under someone else's roof means you have to look at their faces and listen to their orders.
This topic was a bit heavy, so he changed the subject and asked, "I found that the void here has the effect of blocking the power of space. If the distance is a little far, it is impossible to use the teleportation array to teleport across the island. I wonder if there is any solution?"
"Don't you even know this, Mr. Daoist Chen?"
Yuan Xi was very surprised.
Then he smiled and said, "I really believe that you came from the outside world."
Then he explained: "There is a special natural crystal in the floating world, called the Mandarin Duck Stone. Once this crystal is formed, it will form a pair, and they have super strong sensing ability with each other. The monks use this Mandarin Duck Stone to locate."
After a brief pause, she continued, "However, the Mandarin Duck Stone also has a sensing limit. It's just that the sensing distance of the top-grade Mandarin Duck Stone is far enough, which is sufficient in general. However, using the Mandarin Duck Stone for positioning can only sense the approximate location of the target. It still requires crossing the void to get closer, and the teleportation array cannot be used."
Chen Lin suddenly realized and thanked him repeatedly.
In fact, he could find out this kind of common sense question anywhere, but he had been thinking about making buns before, so he didn't have time to find out.
Then, after the two asked each other for some information, the spiritual dew was brought up one by one.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please!"
After learning that Chen Lin was a cultivator from the outside world, Yuan Xi also wanted to make friends with him.
Those who can survive across the interface must have some extraordinary means. Even if you don't want to make friends with them, there is no need to offend them.
Therefore, all the spiritual dews were explained one by one.
Chen Lin tasted the food while listening to the other party's explanation.
The tasting was finished very quickly.
"How about it, Brother Chen, you can't drink these spiritual dews in vain, can you give some comments?"
Yuan Xi saw Chen Lin's expression and spoke with a smile.
Chen Lin smacked his lips, shook his head slightly and said, "Excuse me for being blunt, but although these spiritual dews have unique flavors and each has the effect of improving cultivation, they still do not meet my requirements."
After a pause, he looked at the cup in front of him and said, "But before, Fellow Daoist Yuan said that your sect has nine kinds of spiritual dew, but here there are only eight. I wonder which one is missing?"
"oh?"
Yuan Xi raised her eyebrows, her smile faded a lot, and she said, "Daoyou Chen is really picky. There are so many spiritual dews but none of them are to your liking. It seems that the things that our sect relies on for survival are really not that good!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin hurriedly clasped his fists and explained with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Yuan has misunderstood. It's not that your sect's stuff is bad, but these spiritual dews are mainly for improving cultivation, and what I need is the kind that focuses on taste and has auxiliary special effects."
"Based on taste?"
Yuan Xi looked confused.
Any item a cultivator needs must be used to improve his cultivation. If his cultivation cannot be improved, the value of any item will be greatly reduced.
Chen Lin said sternly, "That's right. I asked you for the formula because I wanted to use it in the Demon Realm. So you can rest assured. It will definitely not affect your sect's financial resources."
Yuan Xi showed a look of realization.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "In that case, I will not keep my treasure to myself. I can give you a copy of the formula of the Red Dust Jade Dew, the sect's most precious treasure. However, the formula of this jade dew is a treasure inherited from our sect. If you want to get it, in addition to signing a spiritual contract and a soul contract, you must also bring out items of equivalent value."
Chen Lin's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Red Dust Jade Dew? It sounds like it's related to the state of mind. I wonder if there is a finished product?"
Because the Food Island includes practitioners of various systems, things that improve the cultivation of cultivators are not very popular because the audience is too small.
However, the state of mind is something that all practitioners need to improve. If this is true, they will definitely be able to reach a star level.
Yuan Xi glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Daoyou are well-informed. You can tell the effect of the spiritual dew just by its name. Even ordinary disciples of our sect don't know that this spiritual dew can improve the state of mind."
Then he continued, "However, Daoist friend, you want to taste the finished product, but you can't do it. The materials needed for this Red Dust Jade Dew are very precious, and it is not easy to refine. Our sect hasn't refined it for a long time. If Daoist friend wants to taste it, you can only refine it yourself."
The other party's words made Chen Lin feel uneasy. He didn't know whether the other party was deliberately evading the question or it was really the case.
Without tasting it first, he cannot be sure whether the spiritual dew is useful to him. The other party has always claimed that this formula is the treasure of the sect, so it may not be easy to trade it.
As expected, Yuan Xi immediately said, "It is absolutely impossible to give away our sect's treasure for free. Even if I agree, many elders in the sect will not agree. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Chen plans to exchange for it?"
In contrast, Chen Lin was also prepared and said with a smile: "That depends on what kind of treasures Fellow Daoist Yuan wants. Do you need spiritual crystals, natural treasures, magic weapons or elixirs?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Chen has come prepared, but there is no need to take out ordinary items. The treasure of our sect cannot be compared with some low-level treasures. If you have anything that you think is of equal value, you may as well take it out and let us see it."
Chen Lin felt helpless.
The other party is also very cunning. If you don't actively make requests and let him take it out himself, then it is unlikely that anything you give him will satisfy him.
But now he needs help from others, so he can only do as the other party says.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin said, "To be honest with you, Sect Leader Yuan, I have a lot of experience in alchemy and I have mastered some recipes. If your sect needs recipes or elixirs, I can provide some."
He also didn't want to open a shop in this world to make money, so it didn't matter whether the pill formula was spread or not. If he could use a replicable pill formula to exchange for the other party's spiritual dew formula, it would be a better result.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is an alchemist?"
Yuan Xi's expression changed.
Pills are something that all immortal cultivators need, and they are also the best trading items.
"That's right, and it can refine pills of the Refining Void level. If Sect Leader Yuan needs a pill recipe of this level, I can also provide one."
Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Our sect is mainly engaged in refining spiritual dew, and has little involvement in alchemy. Even if there is a recipe for a virtual-level pill, no one can refine it."
After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, fellow Daoist, tell me if you have any low-level but very important pill recipes, and bring out some high-level pills, I'll see if I need them!"
