I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2001 Treasure
Hearing Lu Xiu's words, Chen Lin looked at him deeply.

"What special method?"

Lelouch lowered his voice.

"He is a descendant of Marquis Zhenwu, a founding hero of the Liang State. While I was being transported, I overheard their conversation. They said they hid the treasure somewhere."

"I don't need treasure."

Chen Lin replied calmly.

Then continue walking forward.

Not to mention whether what the other party said was reliable, even if it was true, he would not go to Qi to look for it.

"Sir, there is a rumor in Qi that the True Martial Marquis broke through the mysterious realm and ascended to the outside world. This treasure may contain the secret of his ascension!"

"Things about ascension are all rumors, don't take them seriously."

Chen Lin remained unmoved.

Warriors in this world are divided into three stages: ordinary warriors, masters, and grand masters. However, grand masters are extremely rare and are rarely seen.

Legend has it that when a grandmaster reaches the pinnacle of cultivation, he can ascend to a higher level of cultivation in broad daylight.

But these are all rumors, and no one has seen it with their own eyes.

Furthermore.

He cannot practice the skills here, and he is not a native here, so even if he can ascend, it will be useless to him.

Seeing this, the old man said no more.

He is just a slave now, and has no right to influence his master's thoughts. There is a slave mark tattooed on his head. It is difficult for him to escape back by traveling a long distance, and he has nowhere to go back to.

Turned around.

Chen Lin bought four more girls and then left the market.

There are regulations in the State of Qi that the number of slaves cannot be too many. Although not many people follow the rules, he is after all a rootless person, so it is better to be careful.

Didn't go back to the inn.

It was not appropriate to stay in an inn with so many people, so Chen Lin simply rented a place to live.

By saving the three hundred golds for purchasing Lu Xiu, it is enough to buy the yard directly, let alone rent it.

Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh. No matter where you are, you have to have a skill. If Lu Xiu was a top-notch blacksmith, he probably wouldn't have become a slave.

The four little girls he bought later only cost fifty gold coins in total.

This is because she is a girl.

If it's a boy, the price will be even lower.

Everything in the yard is ready-made, including the main house and wing rooms, and can be moved in directly without any decoration.

There is no need to rest.

After the armor of the fighter plane is completed, Chen Lin plans to go to the Northern Six Counties to see if the Silver Spear Demon General is the Silver Fairy, and to experience the battle situation up close so as to make future plans.

After a simple tidying up, Chen Lin gathered several people together.

"Since you have been bought by me, don't use your previous identities to avoid any trouble."

"Yes!"

Several people responded at the same time.

Lu Xiu was still trembling, and the remaining four girls were filled with fear of the unknown.

Chen Lin glanced at a few people.

He took out the slave contract and shook it.

"I'll ask you guys again, are you willing to follow me? If not, you can leave now. I will never stop you. I will just consider it as a good deed and help you redeem yourself."

"I am willing to follow you, sir!"

Lu Xiu was the first to express his opinion.

The four little girls also nodded quickly.

They didn't think Chen Lin was sincere and was just testing him, and they had nowhere else to go.

"it is good."

Chen Lin nodded.

Then he said to the four girls: "From today on, you are my subordinates. Remember, you are my subordinates, not maids. You don't need to do housework. All your time is used for learning. As for what to learn, I will tell you later."

The four girls were all stunned.

They had already prepared themselves to be maids, and had thought about being abused and even doing some perverted things, but they didn't expect that they would have to learn.

A strange look also appeared in Lu Xiu's turbid eyes.

But it immediately disappeared again.

Chen Lin continued: "The four of you are named Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, and Yuheng. Forget your previous names. If you become powerful enough in the future, you can restore them."

Changed the names of the four girls.

Chen Lin looked at Lu Xiu again.

"Mr. Lu, it's up to you. If you want to change it, then change it. If you don't want to change it, just use your own."

Lu Xiu shook his head. "No need to change it. My name is not real. Just call me Old Lu. The past is dead. Now I can live one day at a time."

"Then it's settled."

Chen Lin did not inquire into the past of several people, but simply asked about each person's situation.

All four girls can read, and the characters of Liang State are basically the same as those of Qi State, which is why he bought them at a high price.

He bought these four girls because he wanted to train them vigorously so that they could become strong women who can stand on their own in the future and serve as guides for women in this world.

This is definitely not possible by practicing martial arts.

So we need to let them learn knowledge, take the technological route, and use those technological weapons.

As for Lao Lu.

Forging is actually refining equipment, which is helpful for maintaining weapons.

Moreover, the other party is a shrewd person, and his identity must have been extraordinary in the past. The other party thinks he has concealed it well, but in his eyes, nothing can escape his sight.

After asking.

Chen Lin took out a purse.

Give it to one of the older and stronger girls.

"Tianxuan, you will be the team leader for now. Take them to buy daily necessities. Buy whatever they need. Don't be afraid to spend money. If you find the tattoo on your forehead inconvenient, wear a headscarf to cover it."

"Yes!"

Tianxuan took the purse, looked at Chen Lin carefully, and then left with the three of them.

"Your Excellency is kind-hearted. We are lucky to be with you."

Lu Xiu bowed and said sincerely.

"It's not that I have good intentions, I just take what I need."

Chen Lin knows that he is not a good person, and he never considers himself a good person. At best, he just does not do evil.

Among those who can cultivate to a high level, there is no absolutely good person.

"What level of forging have you reached?"

"My Lord, I have some experience and can forge some conventional weapons. If I'm lucky, I can also refine divine weapons, but the chances are not very high."

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

He immediately asked, "What is the probability?"

“Only about 10%.”

"very good!"

Chen Lin was very happy.

This probability may seem very low, but whether or not one can forge a magic weapon is the watershed for measuring a blacksmith. As long as one can increase the success rate to 30%, he can be called a master.

A forging master would scramble to get it, not to mention three hundred gold, even if it was three thousand gold.

"Didn't you explain this when you were captured?"

Chen Lin looked at the other party and asked.

The other party couldn't be lying at this time. He must have real skills. With such skills, it is impossible for him to fall into the ordinary slave market. "My lord, I don't want to reveal my identity, so I concealed the truth. However, I am only a war slave now, and my lord has a government contract, so it will not affect my lord."

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.

Suddenly he asked, "Are you the descendant of the True Marquis?"

Lu Xiu smiled.

"Your Excellency is worrying too much. I am really just a member of the Wilderness Tribe and have nothing to do with the True Martial Marquis. I was born with sharp ears and eyes, and I heard a conversation between a mother and her son while on the ferry, and that's how I learned about the situation."

After explaining.

Lu Xiu put away his smile and said seriously: "But I know that the ascension is not just a rumor. Someone saw the ascension of Zhenwu Hou."

"And as far as I know, the True Martial Marquis can also perform the same illusion method as you do."

"Oh?"

Chen Lin looked at the other party in surprise.

"Are you sure the rumor is accurate, that the True Martial Marquis can cast the same illusions as I can?"

"It's true."

Lu Xiu nodded and said, "My tribe is also a large tribe. I can't reveal its specific origins, but my ancestors participated in the founding war a thousand years ago and witnessed the ascension of the True Martial Marquis."

"That's it."

Chen Lin touched his chin.

Judging from the other party's description, the Zhenwu Hou should be an outsider like him. As to whether he met him through life letters or other channels, it is impossible to speculate.

It is not certain whether the other party has ascended.
It is also possible that the task has been completed and the user has returned to his or her own interface.

of course.

It is also possible that the other party had come into contact with outsiders and learned low-level techniques, just like he taught the tavern owner.

He pondered for a moment.

Chen Lin ordered: "Tell me about the deeds of this True Martial Marquis, whether it is a legend or recorded information, don't leave out anything you know."

"Yes!"

Lu Xiu agreed and began to tell the story slowly.

"The True Martial Marquis's name is Zhao Wanxing. His real name or pseudonym is unknown. No one has ever heard of his family. The initial information is that he started out as a small leader and fought his way up to become a marquis."

"This man had great military achievements, but he was not very popular with the Emperor of Liang. He ascended to heaven before the founding of the State of Liang, so he was only granted the title of Marquis."

"His descendants were all mediocre people. They stood on the wrong side during the Liang Kingdom's several upheavals, which led to their titles being demoted again and again. In the end, they were demoted to commoners and disappeared in the long river of history."

Hear this.

Chen Lin interrupted, "When was he discovered to be able to use illusion techniques? How many illusion techniques does he have?"

"This is really a secret. I don't know if it's because it's blocked, but few people outside know about it. However, this information is recorded in the notes of our tribe's elders."

Lucius stroked his sparse beard.

Then he said, "According to the notes, this person showed a lot of illusion techniques at the beginning, and it can be said that he never repeated them. He pretended to be a master and deceived people everywhere."

"It was later discovered that his fighting ability was not even as good as that of an ordinary person, and he began to be hunted down by his enemies."

"Then he disappeared for about a year. After he came out, he actually mastered several powerful unique skills. He really achieved the state of manifesting his inner strength and possessed the fighting power of a master."

"Then he was recruited by Emperor Liang and soared to the sky."

Chen Lin tapped the table lightly with his hand.

If someone has mastered countless kinds of "illusions", then he would not have learned them from others, but from an outsider like him.

This aroused his interest.

How did the other party manage to reach the Grandmaster level in just one year?

It is highly likely that he is not practicing the local skills from scratch, but allowing the original "low-level spells" to exert their original power here.

No matter how simple the local skills are, it is impossible to reach the grandmaster level in one year.

What's more, outsiders are simply unable to practice.

"Do you know if there are other people who can perform this kind of illusion?"

Chen Lin stopped tapping the table and looked at Lu Xiu and asked.

Lelouch shook his head.

"I haven't heard of it. And it's you, sir. That's why I suspect you are the descendant of the True Marquis Wu and proposed to buy the mother and child."

Chen Lin knocked on the table again.

Then he took out a purse, put it on the table and said, "Go and see if the mother and son are still there. If they are, buy them back, but say what you should say and don't say what you shouldn't say."

"Don't worry, my lord."

Lu Xiu agreed, picked up the purse and walked out of the room.

Chen Lin looked at the other person's back.

This person is either related to the Zhenwu Marquis clan, or he covets the Zhenwu Marquis' treasure. However, the other party's cultivation is not very high, so he cannot cause any trouble for the time being.

Let’s observe for a while first.

If what the other party said is true, then the reason why Zhen Wu Hou suddenly became stronger is really worth paying attention to.

If he could bring the methods he mastered here back to reality, his combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced, which would be beneficial for him to deal with the 1314 catastrophes.

Think of the catastrophe.

A look of worry appeared on Chen Lin's face.

He was worried about one thing.

The level of this scene is very high, and the speed of time flow may be different from that of the outside world. If it is like the white moonlight scene, one day inside is one year outside, then not only has he missed the agreement with Qing Huang, but the time for the 1314th catastrophe is also approaching.

I don't know what will happen when I return to reality.

Therefore, the secret of Zhenwu Hou's ascension must be found out. If he can really ascend beyond the Seven Star Realm, then he can also give it a try.

Half an hour later.

The four Tianxuan girls and Lu Xiu returned one after another.

The mother and son were also brought back.

The mother was only in her thirties, with a weather-beaten face. She was holding a boy of about twelve or thirteen tightly in her hands. The boy was also pale and thin, and looked malnourished.

Chen Lin was not polite.

He questioned the mother and child separately and found out the location of the treasure.

"Don't worry, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. I will never break my promise to you. When I have the chance in the future, I will also find a way to get rid of your slave status."

"Thank you, sir."

The mother hurriedly thanked him.

Having fallen to her current state, she had long given up hope of retrieving the treasure and only hoped that her son could survive.

Chen Lin no longer paid attention to the two of them.

All matters here were left to Lu Xiu to take charge of, including teaching the four Tianxuan girls. He went to Dihuo to check on the progress of the fighter armor, and to complete the next transaction with Xuanyuan Yu.

Shake.

Three years have passed.

Shiratori County.

There is a big river here called Shiratori River, hence the name.

This river was a thousand feet wide, dividing the State of Qi into two, hence the division of seven in the south and six in the north. It was also for this reason that the six northern counties were not well managed by the court and rebellions occurred from time to time.

"Sir, are we going to cross the river?"

Tianxuan stood beside Chen Lin, looking at the surging river and asked.

At this time, she has grown into a big girl, no longer as humble as before, carrying an ancient long sword behind her, and she is full of confidence.

"No hurry, let's find out the situation first."

"besides."

Chen Lin glanced at the other person.

"I brought you out today to help you. Let's see if you can achieve unity between man and sword and comprehend the sword's meaning thoroughly!"
