Chen Lin brought the nine monks into a specially built secret room and examined them one by one.
Then he said, "I have already made it clear to you before, and I have given you the rewards you deserve in advance, but I still want to remind you again that this mission is very dangerous. If anyone wants to quit, just return the rewards I gave you, and I will release your soul contract and let you go."
Seeing that everyone was silent, he continued, "Don't worry, I never force you to do anything. Even if you regret it, I won't do anything to you. After all, this is a matter of life and death. But if you know the inside story, it will be too late to leave."
An old Foundation Establishment cultivator hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, you said before that if we can survive, you will accept us as registered disciples. Do you really mean this?"
Chen Lin nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this. What I said is definitely true. And you have also seen that there is a shortage of manpower on Ruyi Island. As long as you can survive, not only can you become my registered disciples, but I can also provide resources for you to advance to a higher realm in a short period of time!"
"I do!"
Upon hearing this, the old cultivator's eyes showed determination and he clasped his fists in salute.
"I am willing to wait too!"
The others followed suit.
When they were selected by Chen Lin, they already knew the situation and were mentally prepared.
Chen Lin nodded. These people either had unsolvable problems or were nearing the end of their lives. They would definitely not give up such a chance to survive.
So he stopped talking and began to explain the things in the demon world.
Due to the special circumstances of the Floating Realm, low-level cultivators find it difficult to leave the floating island where they grew up throughout their entire lives, so information is cut off and not many people know about the Demon Realm.
These people don't even know one.
After hearing Chen Lin's description, everyone looked at each other, feeling it was a little unbelievable.
Seeing this, Chen Lin's expression became serious, and he said, "The existence of the demon world is very special. No one has been able to fully understand it so far, and the power of rules in it is everywhere. If you can understand the rules, then it can be said that there is no danger at all, and you can gain benefits instead. But if you break the rules, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will have no luck."
"so!"
Chen Lin warned: "Don't move around randomly after you enter. Follow my instructions and find the mission stone tablet to complete the mission on it. Try not to return before completing the mission, otherwise there is a 99% chance of death!"
Since he started exploring the demon world, almost all the scenes he encountered had missions to leave, and if he failed to complete the mission, the consequence would basically be death or even mutation, with very few exceptions.
Even Chen Lin, a powerful Void Refining expert, was so serious, and everyone became nervous.
Chen Lin did not allow these people to enter directly, but instead gave each of them a few ordinary Luck Edition Soul Refining Pills, asking them to refine them to increase their soul power, thereby increasing their stay in the Demon World.
All the Xianji Stones have been used up, and precious things like the Taixu Wengu Tablets cannot be wasted in such an exploration with a high mortality rate. This is the only method left.
Anyway, he collected a lot of low-level orbiting beasts when he went to the land of gods last time. Ordinary time materials are also easy to find, and there are sufficient soul-refining pills.
However, there will be a lot of things to explore in the demon world in the future, and we cannot always rely on soul-refining pills. It is too wasteful. We have to find a cheap item to isolate the demonic energy.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin touched his chin and began to think.
The reason why the Immortal Stone can isolate itself from the erosion of demonic energy is because it contains the flesh and blood of immortals, that is, the power of rules. If a certain power of rules can be injected into a mineral that can store energy, it can form a 'pirated Immortal Stone'.
And he just happens to have this kind of energy, which is the innate power!
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
However, it is not easy to find a carrier that can store innate power, because it cannot be too expensive. After all, it is a consumable, and it will be meaningless if it is too expensive.
In a blink of an eye, another three months passed.
According to the schedule, the Food Festival will be held in two months, and Chen Lin is also preparing to enter the Food Island.
In the Food Island scene, there are tasks every time you leave. Although you can use magic coins to offset the penalty if you fail to complete it, the amount will increase tenfold each time. Even if he still has a chance to be exempted from the penalty, he dare not waste it easily.
So before going in, prepare to let Lao Xiu start exploring the black finger scene.
"The soul refining pills are almost refined, right? Han Xishan, Zhang Zhengli, Fu Chunxiang, you three will form a group and enter as the first batch!"
Chen Lin named three people, one was in the early stage of foundation building, two were in the stage of perfect Qi training, all of them were veteran cultivators.
"yes!"
The three of them agreed and were taken into the secret room by Chen Lin and sent into the demon world.
But in less than an hour, the two Qi-refining cultivators lost their vitality in their bodies, and after another hour, the vitality of the Foundation-building cultivator also dissipated.
Chen Lin frowned when he saw this.
Judging from the time, these three people seemed to be unable to withstand the erosion of the evil spirit and were forcibly expelled from it, leading to their death. Otherwise, there would be no time difference.
After all, the time for using the Soul Refining Pill is too short, the soul power enhancement is not much stronger, and the resistance to the aura of the demon world is limited.
But even so, there is no certainty that there is no danger inside, at least the so-called mission is not easy to complete.
There is another possibility, that is, the information provided by Lan Dieer is inaccurate.
It was for this reason that he had to find an old cultivator to explore first and understand the exact situation inside.
The death of all three people made the remaining six people look very ugly, but things had come to this point and there was no chance to retreat. They could only bite the bullet and listen to Chen Lin's orders.
Chen Lin thought about it and did not let the few people go in. Instead, he gave them some soul-refining pills and asked them to continue refining and improving their soul power.
In addition, Wang Tianlin was called over and asked to use bird eggs as a medium to bring them into the Wanjie League scene one by one, to feel the breath of the demon world and determine how long each person can stay in the scene.
He planned to attend the food festival first to see if he could find items similar to the Immortal Stone, or a carrier that could store innate power, and then continue exploring after he came back.
The remaining monks breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were not being used as tools to die, and they still had a chance to survive.
"Sir, a man named Liu Shengyuan appeared in the Wanjie League scene, saying that he is your subordinate and wants to see you!"
After Wang Tianlin entered the room, he told Chen Lin a piece of news before waiting for his instructions.
Chen Lin's face lit up with joy, and he immediately took Xiaocao back to the training room, released the scholar to assist in guarding, and then entered the demon world.
"grown ups!"
Liu Shengyuan was walking back and forth in the cave. When he saw Chen Lin appear, he immediately went forward excitedly.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm fine. I was just trapped in the space behind the rule pattern teleportation array and I just came out recently."
Chen Lin smiled and explained.
Liu Shengyuan was still worried and asked, "Then the master is not injured now, right? What realm did he land in after he came out? Maybe he returned to the Tiancang Realm?"
Chen Lin shook his head. "I'm not injured, but it may not be easy to return to Tiancang Realm."
In fact, there is a solution. Even if you cannot leave the node of the Zhiwu County scene in the projection state, you can use points to exchange for teleportation rights from the Food Island Management Office.
But the teleportation permission for one interface requires 10,000 points. Now that Chen Ling'er and others have left, it is not worth wasting so many points to go back.
Liu Shengyuan felt a little disappointed.
Chen Lin's absence had a huge impact on him, not only in terms of status and position, but also in terms of cultivation resources being much more scarce.
However, he did not show it. Chen Lin had done his best for him. If he had not met Chen Lin, he would never have had the chance to conceive a baby and would have died of old age long ago.
At this time, Chen Lin asked again: "How is the situation over there? Tell me in detail what happened in recent years!"
"yes!"
Liu Shengyuan respectfully said yes and began to tell the story.
Chen Lin listened quietly, nodding and frowning from time to time.
It took a full half hour before Liu Shengyuan's voice stopped.
"Okay, I know everything I need to know. You don't have to stay by the node all the time. And Wu Wanshan, you can either return to the sect or find a way out on your own. I can't go back to the Tiancang Realm for a while, and I can't restrict your freedom all the time."
Chen Lin thought about it and made a decision.
Liu Shengyuan shook his head and said, "For us, it doesn't matter where we practice. Sect Master Xue and Elder Dong are here, so they don't need us. It's good for us to stay in the secret place, and we can also share the worries of the adults."
Chen Lin felt very relieved to hear what the other party said. It seemed that he was still a very successful person. Even after leaving for more than a hundred years, his subordinates were still loyal to him.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Since you are willing to stay here, then stay here. I will not treat you unfairly. I will send you some resources from the node in a while, and you just need to practice well there."
Although he cannot bring things from the real world into the Demon World in the projection state, he can bring the materials to the Food Island. The items refined on the Food Island can be used normally and can also be manifested in the Demon World without being restricted by rules.
This is also one of the valuable things about the food island scene.
In addition, if he could get the teleportation token at the food festival, he wanted to add the Zhiwu County scene, and it would be best if he could also add the Xingnan Realm, so that he could get in touch with all his old acquaintances.
"Okay, go back first and tell Xue Honglan to come in and see me!"
After Chen Lin digested the information the other party had told him, he asked the other party to leave and let Xue Honglan come in.
He didn't expect that Xue Honglan did not leave with Chen Ling'er, but became the leader of the Yucai Sect and advanced to the God Transformation Realm.
What was even more surprising to him was that the grand elder of the Yucai Sect was actually Dong Yunqiu!
However, although Dong Yunqiu has a high level of cultivation and mainly practices magic, and his character is unpredictable, he is bound by a strong soul contract and cannot do anything out of line. It is a good thing for the Yucai Sect that he can stay.
