When Chen Lin saw Connie appear, he immediately smiled, put away his black fingers, and walked over.
"Miss Connie, long time no see, how are you?"
More than a hundred years passed, and the other person's appearance had not changed at all. Instead, a fruit had grown on the small tree above his head, but it was still very small.
Connie looked at Chen Lin and said with a smile: "I'm doing fine. I haven't seen you for many years. It seems that Brother Chen's strength has improved a lot. I was worried for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your concern. There was a small problem. I was trapped for more than a hundred years and just got out not long ago."
After explaining, he asked again, "I wonder how Miss Connie's main body is recovering?"
Connie shook her head and said, "There has been some progress, but it is still recovering. It will probably take several hundred years to fully recover. After all, it has been trapped in the demon world for too long and has been severely eroded."
Chen Lin immediately said a few words to comfort him.
Then he asked, "I have been trapped in a confined space for these years. After I escaped, I drifted to another dimension. I have not been able to contact my family. Have they come here during this period?"
The reason why he was anxious to meet the other party was that he wanted to know whether Chen Ling'er had left any message.
“I have been here.”
Connie nodded and said, "In the past, Brother Chen's daughter and Xue Honglan often came in. Then one day they said they were leaving Tiancang Realm and asked me to let you know I was safe when I saw you. After that, they never came in again. Instead, a man named Liu Shengyuan came in once in a while. In recent years, the intervals have been a little longer, but not too long. He would definitely come in when we had a party."
Chen Lin felt relieved when he heard this.
It seems that Liu Shengyuan did not follow to the fairyland, so it would be much easier to understand the situation in the Tiancang Realm.
As for Chen Ling'er and the others, they can only hope that they are restricted by the rules of the fairy world, so they cannot be projected here.
After learning about the family's information, Chen Lin asked again: "Miss Connie, more than a hundred years ago, did a man named Xiong Ziqi come to see you?"
Xiong Ziqi's situation is the same as his opponent's original body. He stayed in the Demon Realm for too long, which led to more serious erosion. However, the strength of the two is very different. Even if he can return to the real world and his true body is still there, it is probably not optimistic.
"Come to see me."
Connie nodded and said, "He said he was your friend, so I asked him to use the mushroom medium, but there was no more information and he never appeared again. I don't know whether he has fallen or returned to the real world with the help of the guardian."
Chen Lin frowned slightly when he heard this, then shook his head.
In this case, there is a high probability of death, and the possibility of survival is low.
Otherwise, if the other party successfully returned to the real world, he would have come here to tell Connie, or leave a secret sign for himself, but he didn't.
A powerful person in the pseudo-Hedao realm, what kind of figure is he in the real world? Unexpectedly, he was accidentally dragged into the demon world and ended up like this. It really makes people sigh.
In addition, Chen Lin also secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must always be in awe of the demon world. No matter how detailed he thinks he knows about the demon world, he must never be careless.
Take the case of Xiong Ziqi for example. Under normal circumstances, with the strength of the other party, they can completely resist the pull of the medium objects. There will be no problem if they grab the general medium objects with their hands, and they can freely choose whether to enter.
Not to mention the pseudo-Hedao realm, even if it is the Nascent Soul stage, it can resist the aura of the medium object.
But there were so many people on the other side, all of them were high-level cultivators, and no one escaped. They were all pulled into the Zhiwu County scene. No one knew what kind of medium they encountered. It felt more powerful than Niu Niu’s doll at the beginning.
It is for this reason that he has always felt that the scene in Zhiwu County is not as simple as it appears.
Next, the two exchanged some more information.
In order to give back to the other party, Chen Lin informed the other party of the information about Food Island and asked if he was interested.
“Is there another scene like this?”
After listening to Chen Lin's introduction, Connie's eyes showed interest.
Then he asked, "But it's meaningless to enter with a projection of this scene. If there is no node, you must have a level 4 pass to enter in person. Can you enter?"
Chen Lin smiled and said, "The rules of this scene are different from other scenes. There are exclusive teleportation tokens. I haven't figured out the specific distribution method yet. Once I figure it out, I'll bring one to you!"
The strength of those who enter the Food Island varies, and some of them have not even explored the Demon World much, so the conditions for issuing tokens are probably not too harsh. In addition to point redemption, there should be other ways. He didn't ask in detail before, but he wants to find out after entering this time.
"Okay, then let's wait for good news from Brother Chen!"
Connie smiled and spoke.
Not to mention the special environment of the Food Island, an interface with a guardian, and it is open, is of great value, not to mention that it can connect all worlds, so she is looking forward to it.
After chatting for a while, Connie left first.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Lan Dieer come in, Chen Lin left his mark again and returned to the real world.
Inside the practice room.
Chen Lin opened his eyes and put the scholar away.
After asking Xiaocao and learning that nothing had happened here, he took out the box containing the Origin Ball.
After opening it and inspecting it, he confirmed that this Origin Ball was exactly the same as the one he got from the treasure chest in the Gambling Lake. Both were pure energy origins and could be directly absorbed.
But to be on the safe side, Chen Lin suppressed his desire to absorb, closed the box again, put it away, and headed for Liangtian Continent.
Ten days later, he returned.
There were ten other monks who returned with them.
This time, not all of them are old cultivators, there are also young ones, and their cultivation levels range from Qi training to perfect foundation building.
But he did not make any arrangements for these people for the time being, and instead handed them over to Xiaocao. He had to deal with the matter of the Origin Ball first.
In the secret room.
Chen Lin took out the box containing the Origin Ball, opened it, and started absorbing it without hesitation.
On the Liangtian Continent, he found two gifted people to conduct experiments, and neither of them had any problems, which showed that this thing did not have any tricks.
In fact, with his identification ability, he can already confirm that there is no problem with this item, but after all, he got it from the witch Lan Dieer, so he has to be careful.
Chen Lin was very familiar with absorbing the origin ball and finished refining it quickly. His innate origin increased a little.
Although it has not reached the level of qualitative change, with the increase of origin, the innate magical powers will become stronger and the dependence on the power of luck will be reduced.
Especially since I’m about to attend the food festival, I will inevitably have to use my innate abilities to make items, and this Origin Ball comes at the right time.
But Chen Lin also discovered a problem.
As the strength of talent increases, the demand for origin also increases. The first time he absorbed the origin ball, the talent ability directly underwent a qualitative change. The second time the effect was also good, but this time there was not much change.
According to this level of improvement, if one wants to achieve another qualitative change, the amount of pure essence required will probably not be a small amount.
Shaking his head, Chen Lin took out the black finger.
The demonic aura on this item is very strong, far stronger than the blood handkerchief. With the strength of his soul, he needs to actively resist the pull of the aura on it, otherwise he will be in danger of being pulled into the corresponding scene.
However, there is a powerful shielding formation in the training room that can prevent the breath of the demon world from leaking out, so there is no need to worry about affecting Wang Tianlin and others.
Chen Lin carefully examined the black finger bit by bit and confirmed that it was undoubtedly a large finger, and a human finger.
It looks like it should be the index finger.
Unable to find anything special, he put the things into a special box, got up and left the training room.
"Think carefully, you guys. It's not too late to regret now. Once you sign the soul contract, there will be no turning back!"
Chen Lin called the ten monks he brought back to his front and spoke in a deep voice.
These ten people were carefully selected by him from various cities in Liangtian Continent. They had clean backgrounds, self-righteousness, and were all independent cultivators without any identity or background.
Seeing that no one regretted it, Chen Lin nodded, took out the soul contract and asked them to sign it one by one.
However, only nine were signed, and the remaining one was not signed.
Then he said, "The soul contract is only a temporary measure. After all, we are all strangers and cannot trust each other. The contract can not only constrain you, but also constrain me. If you can make me trust you absolutely, then the contract can be terminated at any time."
After a brief explanation, Chen Lin called out the cultivators who had not signed the soul contract.
"Shi Jian, are you willing to take me as your master?"
The honest young man who was called immediately knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple is willing!"
Chen Lin nodded.
He met Shi Jian by chance when he was looking for a gifted person. At that time, the other party was facing a life-and-death crisis. The three of them were blocked in a desperate situation by several late-stage Qi training monks, and the other two were seriously injured.
However, the other party did not escape alone, but fought to the death, showing his loyal and righteous character.
Afterwards, he investigated and found out that the two companions were not each other's relatives, but just partners in treasure hunting together. After learning about their identities and backgrounds, he began to think about taking them as his disciples.
"Okay, from now on, you are my third apprentice!"
Chen Lin asked the other person to stand up, pointed at the ugly girl next to him and said, "This is your second senior sister Lin Xianxian. You also have a senior sister named Luo Xiaoyu, who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, but she is not here."
After a pause, he said in a cold voice: "I, Chen Lin, accept you as my disciple and do not want to be bound by a contract, but if you have second thoughts, I will not show mercy. Do you remember this?"
"Master, rest assured. I'll take note of this!"
Shi Jian spoke respectfully.
Chen Lin nodded in satisfaction, then said to Wang Tianlin: "Take him down first and explain the rules of Ruyi Island. I will teach him the skills later!"
"yes!"
Seeing so many monks coming to the island, Wang Tianlin felt an identity crisis and became more respectful.
Chen Lin said to the remaining nine people: "Follow me!"
The remaining nine people looked at Shi Jian who was being taken away with envy, and then hurriedly followed Chen Lin's pace.
