Chen Lin planned to send Yang Zishi to Liangyi City first, and then bring him to the Food Island together after getting the food invitation letter.
He now has three kinds of delicacies, plus the remaining points, it will be no problem for him to get two invitations.
But there is no rush for this.
He had to first make sure that Princess Qinghua and others had not come to Zhongzhou City, and then think of a way to see if he could go to the Wanxing Islands. Chen Bao and the Silver Fairy were suspected to be there. Whether it was true or not, he had to go and take a look since he was here.
No matter what troubles there were, after all, everyone was still alive, so they celebrated it.
A few days later, Chen Lin set off for the waters near the Wanxing Islands.
However, after some inquiries along the way, they found out that the Wanxing Islands had become a forbidden area because of its proximity to the deep sea. The monks there had either died or fled, and there was no one left there any longer.
In this situation, there is no point in looking for it anymore.
So Chen Lin began to travel around the Central Continent, looking for delicious food, collecting various resources, and searching for traces of Chen Bao and the Silver Fairy in other places.
Three years passed in a flash.
During this period, he found several kinds of delicacies and returned to the Food Island once to offer them.
But not all of them were donated. I think three one-star ones were left behind to be donated to the people who brought them in in exchange for identity tokens.
Liangyi City.
Qingyang Sect.
"Are you willing to take me as your master?"
Chen Lin looked at the three people in front of him and spoke seriously.
"Disciple is willing!"
Zhou Shiwu and Qiao Niang were both excited and bowed down immediately.
Chen Lin nodded.
After several years of observation, he felt that Zhou Shiwu was not bad, so he changed him from a nominal disciple to a real disciple.
And Qiao Niang also passed the review.
Of course, the other party was able to meet the requirements mainly because Wanxiang porridge was rated as three stars. A three-star delicacy is made from just ordinary spiritual rice. Its value is self-evident and it should be used well.
Then he looked at Yang Zishi again. The other party pursed his lips and said nothing, obviously still not wanting to become his disciple.
Chen Lin also understood the other party's intentions, but he didn't want to be involved with women anymore. These few had already made him tired, and he wouldn't be able to handle any more.
However, the other party hasn't found a Taoist partner for so many years, and is obviously waiting for him. He can't say much, so he can only shake his head helplessly and put it aside for the time being.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do here. If you have anything else to prepare, hurry up and follow me to other interfaces."
Chen Lin gave an order and stood up to leave.
He didn't plan to go to the Xingbei Realm. Nanling Continent was the base of the Soulless Sect, and he was closely involved with the Soulless Sect, so it would be better for him not to go.
After all, there are powerful masters in the Wuhun Sect. If he is targeted by Wuhun Daojun, he won't even have the chance to escape into the demon world, and it takes time to activate the identity token.
Wuzhen Building.
In the luxurious room on the top floor, Chen Lin sat opposite a woman with unique charm.
It was Alan.
"What? Brother Chen, are you leaving? Can't you take me with you?"
Chen Lin shook his head. "I'm afraid not. The way I left is rather special. There are limited places now. I can't even take everyone around me with me. I can only wait for an opportunity in the future."
He was not shirking his responsibility. In order to obtain the three food invitations, he paid a huge price and had very few points left.
Even if Zhou Shiwu and the other two were brought into the Food Island now, they could only give one person’s identity token a floating world location. The other two would have to stay in the Food Island first because they did not have enough points.
Alan showed a hint of disappointment when he heard this.
Then she stopped struggling and said, "It's a deal. If Brother Chen gets another spot, he must think of me. I won't let Brother Chen help me in vain. I will give him a treasure when the time comes!"
"oh?"
Chen Lin showed an interested look and said, "What treasure is it? Take it out and let me see it first."
Alan didn't hide it and took out a small box.
After it was opened, golden arcs of lightning emanated, which instantly resonated with the lightning property rules between heaven and earth, and lightning light appeared out of thin air in the surrounding space.
Even the Thundergod's Sword began to waver!
A look of surprise appeared in Chen Lin's eyes.
In the box was a core of some unknown fruit, about the size of an egg, covered with golden lines. Although it did not reach the level of an innate spiritual object, it was definitely top-level acquired spiritual object!
"What fruit core is this?"
Chen Lin picked up the fruit core, looked at it, and asked.
Alan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I got it by chance, but it must be of a high enough level. If Brother Chen can absorb the pure lightning energy from this thing, it will definitely be of great benefit to his practice."
After saying that, he closed the box again and looked at Chen Lin and said, "How about this item being able to exchange for a place to leave this world?"
Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Miss Alan still doesn't believe me. What I said is true. Now I really can't get a place."
After a short pause, he explained, "And the interface I'm in now is no less dangerous than here. Even I have to be careful when dealing with it. You might as well stay here. At least there's Wuzhen Tower, and you won't lack resources for cultivation here."
He then gave a brief introduction to the situation in the floating world.
As for the matter of the Food Island, he had never mentioned it to the other party, nor had he introduced it to anyone. Until now, Yang Zishi and the other two had no idea where they were going.
In a scenario like Food Island, the fewer people who know about it, the better, because the number of delicacies on one interface is limited, and the more people enter, the more intense the competition becomes.
For example, the spiritual wine, Xianfanlu, and Qingquan fish he obtained in Wanling City had all been offered as tributes, so his efforts were in vain.
The person who made the offering was none other than the Tofu Fairy, who was from Wanling City.
Fortunately, because the penalty for leaving the mission had begun to increase, the other party did not dare to leave the Food Island at will and had stayed there for more than a hundred years. He just happened to miss Qiao Niang's Wanxiang porridge. Otherwise, with the fame of Qiao Niang's porridge shop, he would not have been able to get this three-star delicacy.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin's eyes fell on the box again and said, "I think it's better for Miss Alan to continue to practice here. How about trading this treasure in other ways?"
After hearing Chen Lin's explanation, Alan frowned slightly and said, "Is the current environment really so bad? Even other interfaces are so dangerous?"
Chen Lin nodded and said, "The entire Metaverse we are in is collapsing, so no interface is normal. The interface outside the Metaverse may be fine, but the rules are different. Don't even think about practicing. Once you enter, you will be hit by the rules of the interface."
Alan's frown deepened.
"In this case, there is really nothing we can do!"
She sighed and said, "But this world is too unstable. If there is a better interface, I would like to ask Brother Chen to take me with him."
"That's natural."
Chen Lin readily agreed.
After getting the desired result, Alan pushed the box in front of Chen Lin and said, "In that case, I will change my request. Brother Chen, take the things. If there is a chance, please find a way to rescue Xiu Niang as soon as possible. My cultivation progress is slow and I don't know much about the demon world, so I can only put my hope on you."
Chen Lin immediately waved his hand and said, "I have already started to rescue Yun Xiu Niang. This is what I should do. There is no need to make a deal with you."
After thinking for a while, he took out a pot of Drunken God Brew, handed it to the other party and said, "This wine can increase the chance of being promoted to the Refining Void stage by 10%. It should be useful to you. Consider it a trade item!"
After saying this, without waiting for the other party to respond, he put the box away and stood up to say goodbye.
Alan stood up to see him off, and when he reached the door, he watched Chen Lin's figure disappear.
"Hopefully you'll get far enough so that we can..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became unclear, and her figure became increasingly faint.
