I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

As soon as Chen Lin got the Sword of Contract, he understood instantly.

This sword has the function of recording contract information, similar to a jade slip, which records the property he can inherit.

It is bound to its owner.

Anyone can apply to use it, and it is also a necessity in this scene. Many things cannot be done without it, especially for the White Swordsman. If you want to qualify, you must first bind this item.

It's a kind of identity certificate.

same.

If you want to inherit the other party's property, you also need to go to the Sword Pavilion to bind this sword first.

and.

Only things recorded in the Sword of Contract can be inherited. If it is not "contract property", it cannot be inherited even if it can be proved that it belongs to the other party.

After understanding this, Chen Lin felt that it made sense.

Otherwise, if challenges and successions were allowed at random, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

"Meet my benefactor."

The two siblings looked at each other.

My brother stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin put away his thoughts.

He looked the two of them up and down.

According to the rules of inheritance, these two people now belong to his sword servants. Of course, the prerequisite is that he must first go to the Sword Pavilion to bind the sword of contract, and then he can make the two of them his own.

Even if he didn't want the two of them, they had to go to Jiange to terminate the contract, otherwise the two of them would have to be at his mercy and it would be useless to avoid him.

The Sword of Contract belongs to the advanced rules, and it is estimated that only the Sword Girl can change it.

"You are welcome."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

He knew what the two were thinking; neither of them wanted to be a slave.

And he had no intention of having two people.

Because he didn't want to stay in Luoxian City for long. After getting enough sword coins, he would set off for the city near the central continent to find a way to go to the central continent.

After rummaging through Chu Fuhu's body, Chen Lin grabbed a purse.

Weighed.

Then he turned and walked to the counter.

The shopkeeper suddenly became panic-stricken.

"Don't blame me, sir. I dare not lie under the induction of the Sword of Contract, otherwise I will be beheaded!"

He thought Chen Lin was going to settle accounts with him for his testimony, so he hurriedly spoke up to explain. Chen Lin was very powerful, but he was not wearing a sword robe. People like him were generally bandits who were not subject to official constraints and could not abide by the rules.

"Tell me about this Chu Fuhu's background."

Chen Lin spoke calmly.

Although he believed that he was quite powerful, he still had to be careful and find out Chu Fuhu's identity first before deciding whether to inherit his property.

The old shopkeeper's expression relaxed when he heard this.

Since Chen Lin intends to inherit Chu Fuhu's property, he is not an unforgivable criminal, at least not a wanted criminal, otherwise he would not dare to go to Jiange to hand over the property.

He glanced at Chu Fuhu's body.

He immediately said, "This guy is the brother-in-law of Ye Qinghan from the Ye Clan Sword Gym. Ye Qinghan is a Three-Flower Swordsman, very powerful, and can be ranked in the top 20 in Luoxian City. It is said that he has the potential to be on the Swordsman Ranking."

"What is the Swordsman Ranking?"

Chen Lin asked curiously.

"My Lord, you don't know the sword..."

The old shopkeeper was very surprised, but he swallowed his question back halfway through.

He explained: "The Swordsman Ranking is a list published by the Sword Pavilion. The 500 strongest swordsmen below the Grandmaster level are on the list. Anyone who can make the list is a super strong one and has the potential to be promoted to the Sword Sect."

Chen Lin nodded.

He continued, "Since there is a Swordsman Ranking, is there also a Grandmaster Ranking?"

"Yes sir."

The old shopkeeper responded respectfully.

He has now determined that Chen Lin is a powerful recluse who has just emerged from seclusion, otherwise he would not even know about this kind of list. However, such people often have eccentric personalities and should not be offended.

“Do you have a list here?”

Chen Lin felt it necessary to grasp the information of the list.

Just as the other party said, anyone who can make it to the Swordsman List has the potential to become a Grandmaster. Some may not only have the potential, but they already have the strength to reach the Grandmaster level, but they just haven't won the Grandmaster spot.

If you meet such a person, be extra careful.

"Have."

The old shopkeeper took out three books from the drawer without any hesitation.

One is white and very thick, and the other is gold and also very thick.

The last color one is thinner.

From the color, Chen Lin could tell the information recorded in each book. After receiving it, he directly opened the colored one.

really.

This is the Sword Master List.

The information of all the thirty-six sword masters is listed above, and the introduction is quite detailed, including not only the characters' life stories, but also their signature sword moves, and when they were promoted to sword masters.

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

With such a list, it would be much easier for him to act, and when he wants to be promoted to the Sword Sect in the future, he will also be able to clearly identify the target to challenge.

But he also knew it.

Since there is such a roster and the people on it can still occupy their positions, it means that each of them has extraordinary strength and they are all the best in the same realm.

He is now barely able to challenge the strong ones on the swordsman list, and his chances of winning against a grandmaster are slim.

of course.

This refers to a duel with swords.

If all methods are used, the Grandmaster can also fight.

However, if he uses other means, he will easily be regarded as an alien. Once exposed, he will be hunted down by the group of swordsmen, which will have a huge impact on his ability to complete the task.

So there is no need to use it.

"Okay, I'm going to Jiange now. You take care of the body."

Chen Lin flipped through the other two lists, put them away, and then spoke to the old shopkeeper.

He helped the other party solve a big problem, so it was not too much to ask for his help. If it weren't for him, the other party's teahouse would probably have changed hands.

"Okay sir."

Although the old shopkeeper was reluctant, he did not dare to refute.

"You two lead the way."

Chen Lin didn't delay any longer, turned around and gave instructions to the two siblings.

The two siblings dared not resist.

Whether the two of them could regain their freedom depended entirely on Chen Lin's decision, so they were very obedient.

The three of them left the teahouse.

Jiange.

Luoxian City is not very big. After an incense stick of time, Chen Lin, led by the two siblings, came to a tall tower.

The whole body of the tower is snow-white.

There are nine floors in total.

It is located in the very center of the city and is also the tallest building in the city. It can be seen that Jiange's status is higher than that of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Are there any special rules in the Sword Pavilion?"

Chen Lin stopped a hundred feet away.

He looked at the burly man and asked about the situation in detail.

He could sense that this white tower contained a strong danger. Either the white tower itself had a killing array, or there were powerful people inside. Either way, he had to be on guard.

"Return to my lord."

The burly elder brother immediately saluted.

Then he said, "The Sword Pavilion is guarded by the Sword Girl's personal guards. They do not interfere in worldly affairs. They are only responsible for contracts, promotions, punishments, etc."

There was a pause.

He looked at Chen Lin carefully and said, "As long as you are not wanted, you can apply to bind the sword of contract. However, once the sword of contract is bound, it cannot be undone unless the sword girl does it herself."

Chen Lin frowned.

"With the sword girl's strength, is there any wanted criminal that cannot be found?"

He was indeed confused.

Because the scene is not too big.

What is known are four small continents, guarding the central continent in the middle.

The rest of the place is a sea of ​​swords.

As the master, rule maker, and guardian, the sword girl should be able to perceive any disturbance in the entire scene.

"Why would a swordswoman care about such trivial matters?"

The burly man shook his head.

Then he explained: "The Sword Girl never leaves the Sword Lake. She only supervises the world through the Sword Pavilion. She doesn't manage directly, but is only responsible for making rules. Even if there are people who violate the rules, she will only issue a wanted order and let the sword practitioners deal with it."

"So that's it."

Chen Lin showed a look of understanding and was also somewhat happy.

The fact that the sword girl never leaves Jianhu is barely good news for him. This way, he doesn't have to look for her whereabouts. Even if she is complacent, it is possible that something has gone wrong.

That would be more beneficial.

But when I think of how powerful the sword girl is.

Chen Lin couldn't help but feel discouraged again.

At the same time, he secretly complained in his heart.

I don’t know whether the rules of this scene were set by the Sword Girl or generated by the Nightmare Realm itself.

It's almost like a dead end.

If the mission was set by the Sword Girl, it would be even more outrageous. However, this possibility is very high because the other party is not a guardian, but has the authority of a guardian and can even circumvent the Nightmare Law. It is impossible for her to be bound by the rules of the Nightmare Realm.

"Since the Sword Pavilion's leader is a female sword guard, she must be a woman. I wonder what her personality is like?"

Chen Lin put away his thoughts, looked at the tower and continued to ask.

he thinks.

If you want to complete the mission of leaving, the best way is to find a reliable female confidant, let her get close to the sword girl first, and find out the truth before doing anything else.

Going there directly is no different from seeking death.

Hearing Chen Lin's question, both the brother and sister showed surprise and doubt. The sister opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by her brother with a look.

Then my brother spoke respectfully.

"Your Excellency may not know that women are not allowed to enter the Sword Lake, so the Sword Lady's personal guards are all men."

"All male?"

Chen Lin was stunned.

After a while, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, I get it, let's go in."

After speaking, he walked forward.

As they walked, he asked, "What are your two names?"

"My Lord, my name is Lin Qingyuan and my sister is Lin Qingyu. We are both ordinary swordsmen. We came from Haiguang City to visit our relatives, but we failed to find our relatives and almost lost our lives. Fortunately, my Lord saved us."

"Ah."

Chen Lin hummed.

Without asking anything else, he started thinking about things.

Women are not allowed to enter the Sword Lake, and the task to leave this place is to look at the sword formula on the other person's back.

This swordswoman has impure intentions!

But it did clear up his doubts.

I used to think that such rules were unfair to men, but now it seems that the same is true for women. One is that it is difficult to see the other's back, and the other is that it is difficult to enter the other's living area.

Neither of them was any better.

While thinking, he arrived at the entrance of Jiange.

There are quite a lot of people here.

People came in and out from time to time, but they were basically all wearing sword robes, which made the three of them attract a lot of attention.

"what?"

At this time, three men in white walked out. One of them let out a soft "eh" when he saw Chen Lin.

Chen Lin also saw the other person.

It was the long-faced young man whom I met at the city gate.

It seems his name is Yao Liuguang.

But he ignored the other party, just glanced at him, and walked into the Sword Pavilion.

"Why, Brother Yao knows him?"

The other hook-nosed man asked with interest.

"I don't know him. I just met him at the city gate when I was taking something. I saw that he had sword spirit and wanted to make him a sword servant, but he didn't accept the challenge."

"Is it?"

The hook nose was more interested.

"That person is very cautious. Even Brother Yao, who is known as a challenge maniac, couldn't find his loophole. He is indeed quite capable."

He glanced at the gate of Jiange.

He touched his chin and said, "I wonder if this person came here to break into the sword pool or to bind the contracted sword. Why don't we wait and see?"

"What do you mean, Brother Xiao also wants to challenge?"

Yao Liuguang raised his eyebrows.

The hook-nosed man smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. We all know how good Brother Yao is at judging people. If Brother Yao takes a liking to him, he must be a good candidate."

"That's up to you."

Yao Liuguang spread his hands.

"But if the other party breaks into the sword pool, the one that comes out will be a white-robed swordsman. Brother Xiao must be prepared."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

The hooked nose smiled even more.

"A sword slave at the swordsman level is much more valuable than an ordinary sword cultivator. The other party has just been promoted, so it is a good time to challenge him."

Yao Liuguang nodded and said nothing more.

The three of them walked to a nearby place and talked in low voices while looking at the gate of Jiange.

Chen Lin walked into Jiange.

First there is a large hall with three passages inside, all of which are guarded.

Above each passage, there is a plaque with the words "Sword Contract", "Sword Pool" and "Sword Spirit" written on it. As the names suggest, the places where the three passages lead to are responsible for these three matters.

Based on his communication with the Lin brothers and sisters, Chen Lin had some understanding of Jiange.

Jianchi is responsible for promotion and punishment.

If you want to become a white swordsman, you need to enter the sword pool to prove yourself. You can get the identity if you pass the level successfully. The same goes for swordsmen. Single flowers, double flowers, and triple flowers all need to pass the level in the sword pool.

As for Jian Zong.

If you want to advance through the Sword Pool, you can only go to the Main Sword Pavilion in the Central Continent.

The other sword pavilions do not have permission.

Sword Contract Channel.

Responsible for all contractual matters.

The fact that a special channel can be opened up shows the importance of the contract.

As for the sword spirit.

The Lin siblings don’t know much either.

But that is definitely not what the spirit of the weapon meant.

It seems that it is possible to obtain the sword technique, but it is very dangerous and it is said that very few people succeed.

The Lin brothers and sisters are just children of a poor family. Although they have family inheritance, their qualifications are average and the inheritance is not very good, so the information they can know is very limited.

"Let's deal with the contract first."

Chen Lin greeted and came to the entrance of the sword passage.

Explain your intention.

The gatekeeper immediately said, "To bind the contracted sword, one hundred sword coins are required, and to cancel the sword servant contract, ten sword coins are required per person. You must pay first before you can enter."

Chen Lin grinned.

I didn't expect this would cost money, I had overlooked this before.

He took out Chu Fuhu's purse, opened it and took a look. There were about eighty sword coins inside.

Although it is a lot, it is not enough.

In this scene, there are no storage bags or other items. I don’t know if they don’t exist or if they are too precious for most people to afford.

So they couldn't get anything good from Chu Fuhu.

In addition to the purse, there was also the sword, which was carried on Lin Qingyuan's back.

Chen Lin glanced at the Lin brothers and sisters.

The two siblings immediately understood.

Lin Qingyu walked forward and handed a purse to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin opened it and watched.

There were more than forty sword coins in it, which was basically enough if they were gathered together, so he took them out and handed them to the guardian.

"Okay, you go in."

After counting the sword coins, the guard took out a token, handed it to Chen Lin, and let him go.

Chen Lin, along with the Lin brothers and sisters, strode into the passage.

It didn't take long.

The three figures reappeared.

The Lin siblings had relieved smiles on their faces.

"You guys go ahead. I have to go to the sword pool for the test. Don't wait for me. I'll give you the sword."

Returning to the main hall, Chen Lin waved to the brother and sister.

Then he walked towards the Sword Pond Passage. (End of this chapter)
