In Wanling City.
Chen Lin did not hide and went straight to Tianyi Pavilion.
"Where's Ximen Wuxue? Ask him to come out and see me, or don't blame me for attacking your disciples of the Wanling Sect!"
Seeing the shopkeeper, Chen Lin spoke in a cold tone.
This time he was taken advantage of and made enemies with the Huaying Sect for no reason. The Huaying Sect was one of the three major forces in the city, and it had nine-level Daoyun masters in its ranks.
He also learned the information about the man in white. He was the son of Mo Qianfan, the great elder of Huaying Sect, and his name was Mo Ziyuan.
He couldn't just accept the huge trouble he got into. He had to let the other party know that he couldn't be used just because he wanted to!
"Senior, calm down."
The shopkeeper hurried forward and said respectfully, "After the senior left, the leader announced that he would go into seclusion in the secret place of the sect and would not come out until his body was fully recovered. The location of the secret place of the sect is only known by the leader. We can't find it at all, and we can't contact him."
At this point, the shopkeeper took out a box with an ancient shape and handed it to Chen Lin, saying, "This is what the leader asked me to pass on to you before she left. She also asked me to tell you that she owed you a life. She will remember this favor in her heart and will definitely repay you generously!"
Chen Lin frowned.
This woman actually anticipated that he would come back here and hid herself in advance. In this case, it would be difficult to find her.
"Really? Then let me see where he can hide!"
Naturally, Chen Lin would not believe the other party's one-sided statement. His aura suddenly burst out, and he grabbed the shopkeeper in his hand and directly used the soul-searching technique!
The guys nearby were all trembling with fear when they saw this, and no one dared to step forward.
The shopkeeper himself looked calm, as if he had expected this.
Not only did he not resist, he also took the initiative to release his soul and let Chen Lin do whatever he wanted.
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
With his current soul power, he can search the soul of a cultivator of the same level, let alone a cultivator at the Divine Transformation stage. It is best for the other party to let go of his soul, otherwise he will become an idiot.
But no matter what, this soul must be searched.
It didn't take long for him to successfully read through the information he needed to know, but his brows were furrowed.
The other party did not lie. Before Ximen Wuxue left, he did tell the other party that he was going to a secret place for retreat, and he also took all the core members of the Wanling Sect with him.
The shopkeeper was left here just to wait for him.
From the shopkeeper's memory, he could clearly see Ximen Wuxue's instructions, in which he told the other party that if he did not come here tonight, he would take the remaining members of the Wanling Sect and leave Wanling City and go to a branch that had been prepared before to settle down.
If he comes, give him the quaint box.
The contents of the box were also beyond his expectations; it was actually the Origin Ball that Ximen Wuxue had separated from his source of talent!
"Hmph, you're really fast!"
It is wishful thinking to think that this matter can be covered up with just an Origin Ball.
But Chen Lin was also somewhat helpless. The other party had foreseen the situation and ran away in advance. Even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find the person.
Moreover, the other party also took away all the important members of the Wanling Sect. Even if he wanted to vent his anger, he couldn't find the target. There was no point in killing those outer disciples.
It turned out that this shopkeeper was Ximen Wuxue's confidant, but after killing him, the resentment in his heart could not be resolved, and this revenge could only be taken later.
Chen Lin walked out of the Lingshi Pavilion with a gloomy face and came to the headquarters of the Wanling Sect.
Without saying hello, he broke in and turned the entire base upside down, but failed to find anything valuable, which made his face even uglier.
The other party was really ruthless and didn't leave any treasure behind!
With a gloomy face, Chen Lin came to the gate of the base, smashed the huge stone with the three big words "Wanling Sect" engraved on it into pieces with one palm, and then flew away from Wanling City.
He killed four powerful Void Refining Masters from the Huaying Sect, one of whom was the descendant of the ninth level of Dao Yun. He could not stay in the city for too long. Although he had cleaned up the battlefield, he could not guarantee that it was foolproof.
There are innumerable strange magical powers in the world of cultivating immortals, and one cannot judge everything according to one's own thinking. Take this incident for example, Ximen Wuxue's talent for time caused him to suffer a loss.
After leaving Wanling City, Chen Lin no longer flew slowly. He took some risks and directly used the void shuttle technique to arrive at Fengyuan Town.
He did not stop in Fengyuan Town. After arriving at Qiao Niang Porridge Shop, he directly kidnapped the proprietress Qiao Niang. He then used the void teleportation method to go all the way south and arrived at a barren mountain.
"Aren't you afraid
Chen Lin took Qiao Niang out of the space bag, looked at her calm face, and spoke in a deep voice.
The other party was a middle-aged woman, of average appearance and her cultivation was only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, but she had an aura that made people feel very approachable.
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Qiao Niang immediately straightened her clothes and bowed gently, saying, "If a person like you wants to do something to me, I have no ability to resist. And with your demeanor and temperament, it is impossible for you to be attracted by my beauty. So after thinking about it all the way, I think only my ability to cook porridge can attract you."
After a short pause, she continued, "Qiao Niang is alone and has nothing to worry about. If you like to drink porridge, then Qiao Niang can stay with you and be a cook."
Chen Lin nodded.
None of the cultivators who can cultivate to the Golden Core Stage are dull and stupid. Judging the situation is a necessary ability. Otherwise, they will not be able to survive in the world of immortal cultivation where the strong prey on the weak.
"Very good, I like to deal with smart people."
After praising him, Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't have many bottom lines, I still have some, so you can rest assured that I won't take your life. In addition, you are right, I just like your porridge recipe, I am not interested in you, and I won't take your things for nothing, I will definitely give you enough compensation."
Qiao Niang's face relaxed slightly, and then she explained: "Your Excellency may not know that the reason why I can make this Wanxiang porridge is because when I was young, I accidentally entered a mysterious place, drank a bowl of porridge in a porridge shop there, and then a kind of power appeared in my body.
At the time, I thought I had obtained some incredible opportunity and was very excited. However, after I left, no matter how I tried, I could not use the strange energy in my body.
It was not until after I established my foundation that I accidentally cooked spiritual rice porridge and infused that kind of power into the porridge, and then I discovered the mystery."
"so."
She carefully explained: "The reason why this Wanxiang porridge has such a magical effect is not because of any special formula, but because of the energy in my body.
If not for this, my porridge shop would have been snatched away by those big shots long ago!
And because of my limited ability, although the effect of the Wanxiang porridge is magical, it actually has no direct benefit to the cultivators, let alone the effect of improving their cultivation. "
Chen Lin listened to the other party's words and felt that it was like a fairy tale.
Then he looked at the other person and said, "What was the mysterious place you went to that year like? Where was it? How did you get in?"
He was very suspicious of the other party, so he used hallucination techniques when questioning.
Qiao Niang's eyes suddenly became blurred.
The machine replied, "It's in a valley a hundred miles away from Fengyuan Town. My home is there. At that time, I had just broken through the middle stage of Qi training and learned the art of flying. I was playing happily and unknowingly reached the valley of Qingsong Mountain. Then I found a very beautiful bird. While chasing the bird, I inexplicably entered a very comfortable place."
A look of reminiscence appeared on her face, and she slowly said, "The scenery there is very beautiful, with many, many magnificent buildings, and many trees and flowers that I have never seen before. I was excited but also a little scared. I didn't dare to get close to those buildings, so I could only carefully explore from outside."
"And then?"
Chen Lin asked again.
He felt more and more outrageous.
The other party's experience was very similar to a scene of entering the demon world, but with the other party's cultivation level at the middle stage of Qi training, it was impossible for his real body to survive in the demon world for too long, so the possibility of it being the demon world was not high.
But in other interfaces, I have never heard of such a bizarre situation.
Qiao Niang continued to answer mechanically: "After a few days, I finished eating the food I brought with me. I was so hungry that I felt dizzy and didn't dare to eat those strange-shaped fruits, so I walked towards the place where the building was.
"Then I saw a place called Wanxiang Porridge Shop. The proprietress of the porridge shop was very beautiful, like a fairy. I offered to buy a bowl of porridge with spirit stones, but the other party did not want it and gave me a bowl instead.
After drinking it, I returned to the valley of Qingsong Mountain. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find the bird or the entrance to the mysterious place…”
Chen Lin put away his magic, feeling somewhat doubtful and uncertain.
The other party's cultivation level is totally incapable of resisting his questioning spell, so there is no need to doubt its authenticity.
But this experience really made him feel confused.
Seeing that the other party had recovered from his stupor, Chen Lin continued to ask, "Did the proprietress of Wanxiang Porridge Shop tell you anything?"
Qiao Niang immediately replied, "I said one sentence."
Without waiting for Chen Lin to ask again, she continued, "After seeing me, the other party said that this is not the place for you to come. Drink the porridge and go back quickly!"
Chen Lin stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Just a bowl of porridge can allow a small Qi training practitioner to possess such magical abilities. The existence in that space must be extraordinary.
In a place like this, it's impossible not to be curious.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Can you draw your experience there on paper?"
Qiao Niang shook her head and said, "Since I left there, my memory of it has become very vague. The only thing I can remember clearly is the beautiful proprietress and what she said.
"Then draw the boss lady's face for me, and make sure it remains exactly as it is!"
Chen Lin took out a high-level picture, as well as a spiritual pen and spiritual ink.
Qiao Niang did not hesitate. After laying out the painting surface, she squatted on the ground and began to paint.
Seeing the other party's skilled movements, Chen Lin knew that the other party had done a lot of drawing, and immediately asked: "Many people have asked about the source of your ability in the past?"
"Um."
Qiao Niang nodded and said calmly, "I am just a small Jindan cultivator with no identity or background, but I have such ability, and it is known to everyone. How could I not attract the covetousness of powerful people
Since I opened the porridge shop, people have often asked me how to make Wanxiang porridge. Your Excellency's methods are always gentle. Since I opened the shop until now, at least ten strong men have searched my soul, causing serious damage to my soul and my cultivation has remained at the early stage of Jindan. "
"oh?"
Chen Lin showed a look of surprise.
Soul searching is not a kind method. Even if you actively let go of your mind, it will still leave harm.
“Then why do you continue to have a store there?”
Chen Lin asked in confusion.
There must be a reason why he was able to hold on after being searched for more than ten times.
Qiao Niang shook her head and said, "I have just been promoted to the Golden Core not long ago. My cultivation was low before, and I don't have the ability to migrate in such a harsh environment. Besides, I can save my life by staying in the town. Once I leave, those covetous people will think that I am hiding something and will definitely kill me."
After a pause, she continued, "And as my method of making porridge spreads, and I have been promoted to the Golden Core Stage, few people have come to ask about the Wanxiang porridge. I can also use this skill to support my life and practice, which is much better than going out to hunt monsters and explore."
Chen Lin nodded again.
This explanation made sense, and he guessed that the other party was unwilling to leave and also wanted to enter that mysterious space again.
As he was talking, the portrait was completed.
Chen Lin took the portrait in his hands and examined it carefully. The woman in the painting was indeed a beauty, but the artist's painting skills were average, and the woman only had the appearance but not the essence. She must be more stunning in person than in the painting.
This woman is a cultivator of the human race, not an alien.
After looking at it for a while and not seeing any clues, Chen Lin put the painting away.
Then he looked at Qiao Niang in front of him.
The recipe is definitely impossible to obtain. If one wants to drink Wanxiang porridge at any time, the best way is to bring the recipe with him. However, he has to go to many places this time, and it is very inconvenient to bring someone with him.
After thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
"It's really offensive to bring you out this time. What do you want to do now? If you want to go back, I can send you back to Fengyuan Town. If you don't want to go back, then tell me where you want to go. Anyway, I also want to travel around and I can take you there."
After that, he took out two pill bottles and said, "These two bottles of pills are the Baili Pill, which can improve the cultivation of Jindan cultivators, and the Shenghun Pill, which can restore the damaged soul essence. This is my compensation to you."
If he got the recipe of Wanxiang porridge, he would give the other party more benefits. Now he only got some information, which is not a small amount.
Hearing the words "Soul-Regenerating Pill", Qiao Niang's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and she immediately said, "Qiao Niang is willing to follow you, sir, and make porridge for you!"
Chen Lin shook his head. "Don't worry. I'm a man of my words. I won't go back on my word and kill people to silence them. The benefits I give you are real. If you want to go back, I'll send you back now."
Seeing Chen Lin's resolute attitude, Qiao Niang knew that he couldn't stay, so she immediately changed her words and said, "Since I'm already out, I don't want to go back. Senior, just take me wherever you want to go, the farther the better."
Chen Lin nodded slightly, without saying anything more, put the other party into the space bag, and headed straight towards the Ten Thousand Stele Forest.
