Chen Lin's request left the peddler speechless.

He laughed dryly and said, "Trade is fine, but favors are not necessary. It's too much and I'm afraid I can't pay it back."

Then he continued, "If you want to exchange something, hurry up. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to meet me next time. This time I can make an exception and give you three trading privileges!"

Chen Lin looked at the other person and nodded in thanks.

According to the rules of traveling merchants, each customer can only trade one item at a time, so giving him three chances is indeed a privilege.

"Then I won't be polite. Do you have any immortality pills?"

He directly asked for the most needed items.

The peddler shook his head and said, "It seems that you have found a way to solve the hidden dangers of your body. However, I don't have a special elixir like the Ascension Pill, and I have never seen the recipe. If you want to find it, you can only look for it in the interface of your cultivation system."

Chen Lin was a little disappointed.

He had high hopes for the traveling merchant here. Since he couldn't find him here, he could only look for the old skeleton man. However, the node of the Crystal Light Realm disappeared and the clue was also interrupted.

However, the fact that the other party knew about the Immortal Pill and said these words showed that the Immortal Pill really existed and could really solve his hidden dangers.

This is also good news.

After a pause, Chen Lin continued, "Then you should know the solution to the incompatibility between the soul and the body, can you tell me?"

The other party had pointed out his hidden dangers before, it couldn't have been just a casual remark.

However, the peddler shook his head again.

"No, there are not many treasures of this kind. I have been in low-level spaces for many years, and the strength of the immortal cultivators I have come into contact with is generally low, so I have not traded such treasures."

Seeing Chen Lin's disappointed face, he said, "But I know a place where such items may be found. Do you want to trade this information?"

"What's the cost?"

Chen Lin asked immediately.

He has no other channels now, so he can't miss any opportunity.

"Hehe, as for the price? I'll give you two choices. One is to help me do something, and the other is to give me a portion of your talent source."

The peddler spoke with a smile.

But the request made Chen Lin frown.

He would never share the source of his talent. Not only would it affect his talent, he was also worried that he would be used to cast some weird spell like curse.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

Chen Lin spoke tentatively.

"It's not a big deal. Just help me fish for a fortune treasure chest. I heard that you have already fished for several treasure chests in this gambling lake."

"A fortune treasure chest?"

Chen Lin didn't expect the other party's request to be this. It was unexpected, but also reasonable.

The other party appears here again and again, most likely coming for the fortune treasure chest, so he is waiting for him here.

But he didn't dare to agree. The golden toad's attitude towards him was still cold. It was okay to catch some small fish and shrimps, but if he tried to fish for a treasure chest of luck, the other party would definitely be angry.

So he didn't hide it and said directly: "This condition is not possible, because I fished for too many treasure chests, and the golden toad doesn't like me very much. Not to mention that I can't catch a treasure chest 100%, even if I do, I'm afraid I won't be alive to get it."

"oh?"

The peddler was stunned.

Then he said with a depressed look: "I told you, how come I haven't seen a treasure chest in such a long time here? It turns out that the toad is responsible. It seems that the other party has mastered certain rules and authority and is on the way to becoming a guardian!"

"What!"

Chen Lin was surprised when he heard this, "Then the golden toad will become the guardian?"

This is not good news. If the other party becomes a guardian, then this scene will be a forbidden area for him.

"What are you afraid of?"

The peddler regained his composure and said, "It's not easy to become a guardian. The other party has just begun to transform. It will take thousands or tens of thousands of years to complete. In addition, there are many changes in the process. If there is a mistake in any point, it will fail."

At this point, he looked around and sneered, "Besides, there is not only one here, there are many who can compete for the guardian!"

Then he began to sigh again.

“But the frog can control some of the rules, which means that the guardian of luck has really disappeared.

Guardian!

That was an eternal existence, yet it could also dissipate. The Demon Realm is really no longer the same Demon Realm. I don’t know if I can survive this disaster.”

Chen Lin's eyes flashed, and he asked, "The great catastrophe you are talking about, is it the catastrophe that will happen a thousand years later? I wonder how you determined it, is there a specific time?"

"How can we be sure?"

The pilgrim Shang Dan smiled and said, "You don't need to know this. Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. But I am very curious about where you got the information about the disaster a thousand years later. Has the little princess contacted you?"

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but still did not raise the banner of Niuniu.

Instead, he said truthfully: "It was the Food Guardian who told me. Do you know the existence of the Food Guardian?"

"Guardian of food?"

The traveling merchant's eyes lit up, but there was doubt on his face.

Chen Lin took out the token given to him by the Food Guardian and showed it to him. Since Niuniu's flag could not be raised for the time being, he decided to change it.

Moreover, if this token is useful, he can also take it to the golden toad to use its power to bully others and go fishing.

The traveling merchant's eyes fell on the token, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to win the favor of the Food Guardian. So, you made food that's above four stars?"

Without waiting for Chen Lin to speak, he continued: "In this case, my trading conditions can be changed. As long as you make me a four-star delicacy, you don't have to fish for the treasure chest!"

This condition made Chen Lin very happy.

But he didn't show it.

Although the Soul Buns were nothing to him, the value of the four-star delicacy was actually very exaggerated. If you really compared them, it was much higher than the treasure chest in the Gambling Lake.

Going to the Food Island to consume, not to mention the issue of entry permissions, just a four-star food voucher costs 10,000 magic coins, and there is no stock of it.

Chen Lin acted as if he was in trouble.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency's request is too high. You should know that to buy food on the Food Island, you need a food voucher. Three-star food vouchers can be purchased with magic coins, but four-star food vouchers are not sold at all. If you want to get them, you can only exchange them with points. You want to exchange a four-star food with just one message, I'm afraid it's not enough!"

Then he immediately added: "But if you use the favor I owe you, then I can reluctantly agree."

The traveling merchant looked at Chen Lin and said with a smile: "This is not a food island, so how can there be a food voucher? If I use a food voucher, I will go directly to the food island and I won't have to trade with you."

Chen Lin naturally understood this logic, and he said this just to bargain.

So he still looked embarrassed and said, "In addition to the food vouchers, the value of the four-star food itself is not low. The cheapest one costs 10,000 magic coins, which is much higher than the value of the treasure chest. If you open the treasure chest, there will be at most 200 to 300 magic coins. Even if you open the most valuable origin ball, it is not worth 10,000 magic coins."

"So what do you mean?"

The traveling merchant had met countless people, so he knew exactly what Chen Lin was thinking.

But the four-star food on the Food Island is a best-seller, and he is worried that he won’t have anything to show for it when he moves to the next level, so he definitely can’t miss it.

Chen Lin thought for a while, then made up his mind and said, "How about this, in addition to the information I just mentioned, I will also need a temporary Level 4 pass. Even though I will still suffer a loss, I will accept it!"

"Can."

What surprised Chen Lin was that the other party didn't even bargain for the price and directly agreed to the request.

He knew immediately that it was going to be less.

But it was too late to regret. After the traveling merchant agreed, he immediately took out a temporary pass and handed it to him.

Then he continued, "The place I'm talking about is the Forgetful Soul Spring in the underworld. The water from this spring has the effect of resolving the incompatibility of souls after taking over other bodies.

Okay, my conditions have been met, bring out the four-star food!"

The traveling merchant did not give Chen Lin a chance to refuse and immediately stretched out his hand to ask for it.

Chen Lin frowned.

The place the other party was talking about was actually in the underworld.

The underworld is a special world, no less dangerous than the demon world. This spring water is definitely not easy to get.

He did not hand over the soul bun, but asked: "The underworld is too big, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is endless. You only gave me the name of a spring. Where should I find it? At least there should be a general location, right?"

The peddler shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact location. The underworld is a high-level plane and does not intersect with these ordinary demonic scenes. So I have never encountered underworld creatures. This information was obtained by chance."

Seeing Chen Lin's unhappy expression, he thought for a moment and said, "If you must give a general location, the person who traded the information seemed to have said that it should be on the seventh floor of the underworld, but I can't guarantee whether it is accurate or not."

"How many levels are there in the underworld?"

Chen Lin spoke again.

The peddler snorted and said, "You are pushing your luck a little too far, aren't you? I have already given you a lot of information for free. It will be pointless if you keep pestering me like this."

Then he continued, "There are three trading opportunities in total, and you have already used them twice. If this one counts as one, I can tell you that it only requires one magic coin!"

"No."

Chen Lin refused immediately.

Although the underworld is mysterious, there are relevant records in books and scriptures, so there is no need to waste time on it.

He stopped talking and took out a basket of steamed buns stuffed with plum-wing shrimp and passed it to the other party.

The traveling merchant picked one up, smelled it, opened his mouth wide and stuffed the whole thing in!

After chewing for a while, his eyes suddenly became moist, and two bean-sized tears slid down the corners of his eyes.
