Nie Cangqiong's answer made Chen Lin feel relieved.
Although the Liangyi Disk is damaged, it still has transmission capabilities. It just consumes more energy to activate it each time. There is also a channel connecting to Zhongzhou City.
This was great news for him. Otherwise, it would take an unknown amount of time to cross the sea to Zhongzhou City, and his safety could not be guaranteed.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin asked again: "Does your Excellency know anything about Xingbei Realm? Is there a passage connecting the Liangyi Plate to that place?"
The Star North Realm is also a must-go.
It would be best if you could get through here, otherwise you have to find a way to get the positioning bead over there, and then spend points to relocate the teleportation token of the Food Island.
That would not only be very troublesome, but would also consume a lot of points, and I'm afraid the guardian's approval would be required.
Nie Cangqiong's answer made Chen Lin happy again.
"Yes, what are you going to do there?"
Chen Lin immediately said, "There are two people who are very important to me in the Northern Wilderness Continent. I must go and see them, otherwise I will be worried."
The reason why he wanted to go to Zhongzhou City first and then to Xingbei Realm was that he was worried that Princess Qinghua and the others would have gone to Zhongzhou City before the interface collapsed. After all, he had contacted them through Tingfeng Station.
"The Northern Desert Continent?"
Nie Cangqiong thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There is no transmission channel in the Northern Wilderness Continent. Our sect's contact point in the Star North Realm is in Tianxing City in the southern part of the Nanling Continent."
Chen Lin frowned immediately.
Although Nanling Continent is adjacent to Beihuang Continent, it is also separated by the sea, so it is not easy to cross. Moreover, Nanling Continent is the base of the Soulless Sect, so he is somewhat reluctant to go there.
At this time, Nie Cangqiong said again: "Although the Star North Realm and the Star South Realm have been reconnected, there are only a few bordering places where the interface power is still there. In order to maintain the safety of space transmission, the consumption of the Liangyi Disk is extremely high. It will not be activated without special circumstances."
Chen Lin nodded to show that he understood.
He was not worried about this. Everything had value. It just depended on whether the price paid was enough.
After chatting for a while, he stood up and said goodbye, "Your Excellency is busy, so I won't bother you anymore. If you can use the Liangyi Plate to go to Zhongzhou City, please let me know. Also, when is the best time to hold the disciple-taking ceremony?"
Nie Cangqiong waved his hand and said, "Forget about the disciple-taking ceremony. Let Huang Liu come to the sect to find me tomorrow, and then announce it to the public. As for teleporting to Zhongzhou City, you can do it anytime you want, but you have to get the spirit crystals to activate the Liangyi Plate yourself. You have to be mentally prepared, the number of spirit crystals will not be small."
Chen Lin immediately said, "In this case, the sooner the better. Let's do it in three days. I will come to see you then."
Spirit crystals were not a problem for him, as they were more than enough to cover the transmission costs.
He had to finish dealing with things here as soon as possible so that he could return to the floating world to practice in seclusion, so he didn't want to waste time.
Nie Cangqiong had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Chen Lin left Liangyi Sect and went straight to Huang Liu's shop.
"Elder Nie wants to accept me as his disciple?"
When Huang Liu heard the news about Chen Lin, he didn't react for a moment, his face full of surprise and doubt.
"Why, you don't want to? If you don't want to, I will tell Elder Nie and the matter will be dropped."
Chen Lin spoke upon seeing this.
It was his own decision to let the other party become Nie Cangqiong's disciple. If the other party had any unspeakable reasons, he could not force him.
He also had a selfish motive. If the other party became Nie Cangqiong's disciple, he could give some care to Qingyang Sect.
“No, no, no!”
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Huang Liu waved his hands hastily and said, "How could I refuse such a good thing? It's just a little unexpected."
Then he continued, "Elder Nie never accepts disciples. He has no disciples in Liangyi Sect. Brother Chen must have paid a lot to find such a position for me, right?"
Chen Lin smiled and said, "It's good that you know, but there's no need to talk about this between you and me. With this identity, I'm sure that both Jiao Yuanlu and your husband's family will change their attitude towards you, and your troubles will no longer exist."
"Thank you, Brother Chen. I will remember your kindness. I cannot thank you enough. If Brother Chen needs me in any way in the future, I and my husband will do our best!"
Huang Liu showed gratitude on his face and bowed solemnly to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin waved his hand, signaling the other party not to be polite, then explained to the other party about his visit to Liangyi Sect tomorrow, chatted for a few more words, and then returned to Qingyang Sect.
Qingyang Sect
In Zhou Shiwu's yard.
Chen Lin called Qiao Niang over and said, "You should stay here for now. I need to use the Liangyi Sect's transmission channel to go to Zhongzhou Continent. I can't take you with me. Besides, it's safer to stay here than anywhere else."
"Yes, I will listen to you, senior."
Qiao Niang agreed respectfully.
She knew that as long as Zhou Shiwu was around, Chen Lin would definitely come back, so as long as she had a good relationship with Zhou Shiwu, there would be hope of staying with Chen Lin.
Three days later.
Chen Lin declined the Huang Liu couple's invitation to dinner and thank-you gifts, paid a large sum of spirit crystals, and entered the transmission channel.
As soon as his body relaxed, he found himself in a spacious room.
"Senior, please show me your token."
Before Chen Lin could take a closer look, an old man in a gray robe stepped forward to verify his identity.
Chen Lin handed the token to the other party, looked around, and found that this place was similar to the teleportation point of the Emperor Saint City back then, and seemed to be underground.
"Senior, please!"
After the old man finished the inspection, he led Chen Lin to the door.
As expected, after going out the door, there was a staircase going up. It took a long time to reach the end. After passing another door, I arrived at a magnificent lobby.
There were quite a few monks in the hall, and they seemed to be discussing something. When they saw Chen Lin and the old man coming out, a man in a yellow robe sensed the fluctuation of Chen Lin's magic power and immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Hello, senior!"
Chen Lin looked at the other person and found that he was actually a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, so he asked, "Are you the person in charge here?"
The man in the yellow robe immediately said, "My name is Hong Yuan, the person in charge of this place. May I know your name?"
"Chen Lin!"
Chen Lin replied.
Then he said, "Where is this in Zhongzhou City? Tell me about the current situation in the city."
"yes!"
Hong Yuan agreed respectfully.
The person who can use the Liang Yi Disk now must have a special relationship with the top leaders of the Liang Yi Sect, and he must be a powerful Void Refining Master. Even if he is the person in charge, he dare not offend him.
Chen Lin was invited to the upper seat, and as he listened to the other party's story, his face gradually became gloomy.
The situation in Zhongzhou City was worse than he had imagined.
This place was originally the core of the interface collapse. It was because the giant scarlet eye attacked this place that a chain reaction occurred, leading to the collapse of the interface.
Therefore, this place was the most severely damaged and was divided into many fragments. Although some parts have been merged, there are still many missing parts. It is not even half the size of the original one. Even the suspended fairy palace has disappeared.
The city lord Wei Duxing disappeared after the interface collapsed. The current city lord is Wei Duxing’s disciple Zhou Guanghan, a ninth-level Taoist monk.
Although this person is also very powerful, there is a huge difference between him and Wei Duxing, who is at the Dao-attainment realm.
Therefore, Zhongzhou City is now in name only and no longer serves as the center of the southern boundary.
Chen Lin didn't care who was in charge of Zhongzhou City. What he was worried about was that if Princess Qinghua, Yang Zishi and others were here at the beginning, would they be drifted to other fragments of space or even perished as the city collapsed.
"Okay, thank you for your explanation. This is my communication talisman. Please let me know when the transmission channel back to Liangyi City is activated!"
Chen Lin took out the warrant given by Nie Cangqiong, and then took out a few communication talismans and a bottle of elixir used by the Divine Transformation cultivators, and handed them to the other party.
After receiving the inspection, Hong Yuan immediately bowed with joy and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir!"
A bottle of elixir that can enhance the cultivation level of a divine monk is worth a lot of money, and it's free, so it's no wonder that he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Chen Lin nodded without saying anything else and walked out of the lobby.
