I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2019 Merit Exchange
"Master Chen's attainments in alchemy are indeed extraordinary. I underestimated him before. You can come to me more often in the future. We can discuss the methods of refining high-level elixirs."

After some communication, Feng Wanding was very impressed with Chen Lin and his attitude became more friendly.

"sure."

Chen Lin bowed in response.

He gained a lot from this conversation. His alchemy level was raised to a higher level, and he also obtained several special alchemy recipes.

Simultaneously.

Chen Lin also admired the alchemy skills of this King of Alchemy and no longer worried about his identity as a rare person being taken away.

He felt the gap.

The world is so big, there are countless extraordinary people, his alchemy skills are not good enough. Even if the other party does not take away the position of the master of the Alchemy Pavilion, it will be taken away by other alchemy masters.

Also.

After this conversation, Chen Lin also understood the true level of the strange man on the island.

They are all masters among masters.

It’s no wonder that the man and woman in front of Fu Zu Temple looked down on him. If all extraordinary people are like Feng Wanding, then any of his skills are far inferior to them.

So after considering it, Chen Lin felt that there was no need to decipher the remains of the fallen strange man.

What a waste of time.

He wanted to decipher the ruins, but it was impossible to do so relying on his own skills, so he had to resort to cheating, and he would be exposed as soon as someone challenged him.

It's just a free help to others.

While thinking.

Chen Lin came to the top of a low mountain.

He first digested the alchemy knowledge he had gained from Feng Wanding, then took out the Golden Holy Pill, and put it away after checking it.

Be careful when using unknown elixirs.

Especially this kind of Danling.

It's not enough to just check it yourself, you have to take it back and let Da Qingdan take a look.

then.

Chen Lin took out the boundary-breaking disk and the positioning object, tried to sense the Rainbow Island, and immediately produced a weak sensation.

He nodded slightly.

This is expected.

As long as one is destined to land on the island, Qiren Island does not restrict the use of treasures. The last time I came in, I used a special communication talisman to contact Sikong Fu.

Not only can the Boundary Breaking Disk be used, but also the Nightmare Realm Token.

However, the sensitivity of the fiefdom is relatively weak, and it requires the use of colored nightmare coins to amplify its energy.

Chen Lin had no shortage of colored nightmare coins, so he immediately activated the token and colored pass, and disappeared on the spot in a flash.

After a while it reappeared.

Looking around, Chen Lin seemed slightly disappointed.

He originally wanted to bring Xiaocao in, but failed. This shows that the contract of the Nightmare Realm cannot suppress the rules of the Strange People Island. As long as you are not a destined person, no matter what your relationship with him is, you cannot come to the island.

of course there are exceptions.

As island spirits, Qi Laopu and Wang Cuilan have the authority to let outsiders in. Last time, he used Qi Laopu's token to allow Gu Siming to go to the island temporarily.

But last time it was for the purpose of killing the demon lotus, but now there is no reason to make a request to the other party.

"correct!"

Chen Lin suddenly remembered something.

Immediately flew towards the Yin Yang Valley.

Taniguchi.

It was already evening, but it was not yet dark, so it was time for old servant Qi to be active.

Chen Lin activated his divine vision and slowly walked into the valley, then he heard a noisy sound.

He looked with all his might.

It was discovered that Old Pu Qi was carrying his hoe and was surrounded by three men in front of the thatched hut.

"Old Qi, isn't it time to pay back the salary you owe me? How long do you want to delay it?"

"Yes, I haven't eaten spiritual rice for several years, and my cultivation has been stagnant. If it weren't for this little spiritual rice salary, who would be willing to stay on the island?"

"I see the wheat is ripe, why haven't you paid the overdue salary yet?"

The three of them were talking to each other, showing no respect to the old servant Qi, and instead looked very angry.

Chen Lin paused.

He didn't go any further, but hid himself behind a big tree.

I was pondering secretly in my heart.

According to what these three strange men said, the Strange Man Island has been in arrears of salaries. No wonder that Fire Boy insisted on doing business with him. It turns out it was because of this reason.

Yin-Yang Spirit Rice is an irreplaceable resource. If the island stops paying salaries, its value cannot be estimated normally.

If so.

It seemed like he got an advantage in the deal, but in fact he suffered a huge loss!

Secretly complaining in his heart that there were traps everywhere, Chen Lin pricked up his ears and continued to listen to the conversation between the two parties.

He came here to exchange the Abyss Crystals for spiritual rice. Now he can't even pay out his salary, and he doesn't know if he can still exchange it, and whether it will affect the amount of exchange.

"Please don't embarrass me, an old man."

"I have no choice. There are too many offerings on the island now, and the amount of ripe spiritual rice is limited. We can only queue up to distribute it."

The voice of Qi Laopu rang out.

With a bit of bitterness.

"Isn't it right?"

Someone immediately retorted.

"But I heard that in the morning, you distributed hundreds of kilograms of spiritual rice to someone, and that person was not a strange person offering sacrifices."

"Yes, I heard that too!"

"Yes, that means you are still here. We don't care about the others. Just pay the salaries to the three of us."

The three of them immediately urged.

But old servant Qi kept shaking his head.

"No, this is the rule. If you want to get the spiritual rice as soon as possible, go get the crystals, increase the energy in the valley, and let the spiritual rice mature as soon as possible. Otherwise, I can't do anything."

"As for the spiritual rice in the morning."

"I owe him that. If it weren't for Master Chen, the fluorescent rice fields wouldn't be restored, and the island wouldn't be able to restart. You all can eat the spiritual rice now, so you should thank him!"

After hearing the explanation from old servant Qi, the three of them were stunned.

I opened my mouth, not knowing how to refute.

Old servant Qi walked to the door, put the hoe behind it, and turned around to look at the three people.

He said expressionlessly, "The three of you should pass on the message and ask all the worshippers not to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Instead, they should complete more tasks. Only by obtaining enough energy crystals can we maintain the normal operation of the island."

"In the future, those who want to receive salaries will be given priority for their meritorious service. Those who want to get something for nothing will have to wait in line."

After saying that, he walked into the house.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, then sighed helplessly and left.

Chen Lin hid behind a big tree, holding his breath, and waited until the three people walked away before coming out.

Touched his chin.

None of the three found any trace of him. It seems that not all the strange people on the island are the strongest. Some have reached the realm of perfection or are just ordinary and eternal.

However, no matter what his cultivation level is, he must be the top in a certain field, otherwise he would have been replaced long ago.

Waited for a while.

Moonrise and sunset.

The thatched hut was opened again and the old woman walked out.

He picked up the shoulder pole behind the door and went to the river to fetch water.

Chen Lin glanced at the moon in the sky, walked out from behind the big tree, and came close to the old woman.

"Meet Granny Wang."

He didn't get too close, but just bowed and greeted him from three feet away.

He had not had much contact with this old woman and did not know her character. He needed to get to know her better first.

"I don't care about salary issues. If you have anything to do, come over tomorrow."

The old woman filled the bucket without even looking up and walked toward the wheat field. Chen Lin hesitated.

Or take out an Abyss Crystal.

"I want to exchange this for spiritual rice, but how do I do it?"

The old woman stopped.

He put the bucket on the ground and turned to look at Chen Lin.

"It's Master Chen. It's been such a long time since we last met. Have you been to the Abyss?"

"You should still think about the island. Those guys only care about getting their salaries. When Yin Yang Island had problems, they didn't respond when we contacted them. When it recovered, they all ran back. When we asked them to get the crystals, they hid away quickly."

While complaining, the old woman walked closer to Chen Lin.

He took the Abyss Crystal in his hand and looked at it.

He said to Chen Lin: "To use crystals to exchange for spiritual rice, you need to exchange them for merits first. Merits have many uses. In addition to exchanging for spiritual rice, they can also be exchanged for the right to land on the island, build a place to live, condense a spiritual gathering array, etc."

"But your crystal is very small, and can only be exchanged for ten merits."

Chen Lin's expression changed.

He immediately asked, "How much spiritual rice can one merit be exchanged for?"

"One pound."

The old woman answered immediately.

Then he pointed at Chen Lin's forehead, and a list of merit redemption immediately appeared in Chen Lin's mind. There were not many items, only a few.

I had a brief understanding of it.

Chen Lin took out another twenty identical small crystals.

"Then exchange all of these for me, and then exchange them for 100 kilograms of golden wheat, 50 kilograms of fluorescent rice, and a residence token."

"not that much."

The old woman took the crystal but rejected Chen Lin's request.

He gave Chen Lin a token and explained, "This is your identity token. It cannot be transferred or discarded. Just return it to me and Qi Tuozi when you don't want to use it anymore."

"Rich rice is in short supply right now, so I can only give you 20 kilograms."

"Except for the amount you exchanged for the residence token, the remaining merits are recorded in your identity token. You can use it at any time."

There was a pause.

The old woman continued, "Those who use their merits to exchange for spiritual rice can have priority. They can exchange once a year, just like the salary for offerings. Each time they can exchange for one kilogram, they don't have to wait in line."

"If you are willing to pay double the merit, you can also increase the exchange quantity."

Chen Lin was speechless.

The rules are really flexible, and there is even a price to pay for purchases. It seems that these two island spirits have considerable authority.

"Then I will pay double and exchange it for another 50 kilograms of golden wheat."

Chen Lin handed over the identity token.

He had more fluorescent rice and less golden wheat. Golden wheat could assist in the practice of the Seven Star Sun, so the demand for it was greater, so he had to buy double the amount.

Things are only safe once you get them. You can't continue waiting just to save money.

"Fifty kilograms."

The old woman hesitated.

Still nodded and agreed.

He took out two rice bags and handed them to Chen Lin. "Okay, I'm in urgent need of crystals now, so I'll exchange them for you."

Then put away the Abyss Crystal.

He picked up the bucket again and walked towards the wheat field.

Seeing this, Chen Lin hurriedly asked: "Can the Yin-Yang Cave on the island enter the abyss now?"

"of course can."

The old woman paused.

Turning back, he said, "Now that the island has been restored, you can not only enter the abyss, but also the star field. However, each time you enter and exit, you need to use crystals to open it. You need to do this yourself."

Chen Lin was speechless.

No wonder those strange people are unwilling to complete the task. They want to pay first without waiting for the rewards. Unless they are absolutely sure, no one is willing to go out.

Anyway, there is spiritual rice to be obtained every month, so just wait. It may be less, but it is safer.

After all, the strange people here are all creatures within the boundary river, and it is very risky to go out. If they are not natural gods from the upper seven realms or Xingxuan, they need to integrate the projection of the Nightmare Realm.

"What kind of treasure in the star field can be exchanged for merit?"

Chen Lin continued to ask.

"Of course it's the star core crystal. Other objects containing star power are also acceptable, but they must be of a sufficient grade."

"Is this okay?"

Hearing the old woman's answer, Chen Lin immediately took out a piece of divine crystal of light.

The old woman shook her head.

"No, the level is not enough. The star cores within the boundary river do not meet the requirements. Otherwise, there is no need to search in the outer star region."

After saying that, he ignored Chen Lin and walked into the wheat field carrying the bucket of water.

Chen Lin didn't bother the other party anymore.

After checking the spiritual rice, he left Yin Yang Valley.

Now that he had the authority to build a settlement, he began to choose a location. Qiren Island was not very big, and it was too inconvenient to live in the wild.

But he is not a miracle man, and there are limits to what he can do to build a residence.

The scale cannot be too large, and it must be marked as a temporary residence. In addition, a merit fee is required every ten years. If you want to live here for a long time, the burden is extremely heavy.

No wonder there are no temporary residences on the entire island.

Chen Lin knew that he was now famous. Huo Wa’s big loudspeaker had spread the news that he possessed the magical rice, so it didn’t matter whether he was high-profile or not.

It would be safer to build a shelter.

According to the rules of the island, except for the competition for the identity of the strange man, you are not allowed to trespass into other people's homes.

Choose a deserted valley.

Chen Lin used local materials to build a simple wooden house, enclosed a small courtyard, and hung a sign indicating his temporary residence.

After simply setting up some formations, they moved in.

Before I could settle down, someone came to the door.

"Is Fellow Daoist Chen here? An Guzi invites you to see him!"

A textured voice sounded outside the yard, but did not come in directly.

Chen Lin felt relieved.

It seems that the rules on the island are quite binding, and even strange people need to abide by them.

Although this An Guzi was not mentioned in Liu Yuanling's information, but in Tiankai's vision, there was a halo of a strange man above his head, so he must be the strange man on the island without a doubt.

"What's the matter, Brother An?"

Chen Lin walked out of the room and stood in the yard to ask.

At the same time, look carefully.

The other person was a man of a foreign race with green patterns all over his body, but he was not much different from a human, except that he had a special temperament and looked very advanced.

Natural gods!

Chen Lin confirmed it immediately.

He had seen quite a few natural gods and had some understanding of them. This kind of special temperament could not be imitated by ordinary practitioners.

"Friend Chen, you won't let me talk to you outside the door, right?"

An Guzi frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed and forced a smile.

"Please come in."

Chen Lin opened the gate and invited the person into the room.

Most natural gods come from Xing Xuan. He also wants to understand Xing Xuan’s situation to see if he can obtain spiritual objects like the Confused Fruit.

If the other party can provide information, spiritual rice can be exchanged.

"My humble abode has just been built, so it is a bit shabby. Please feel free to sit down, Brother An."

Chen Lin pointed to the wooden chair in the room, sat directly in the main seat, and took out the teapot to make a pot of spiritual tea.

The aroma of tea overflows.

But An Guzi didn't drink it.

He said directly: "I want to exchange for some spiritual rice, twenty kilograms of each of the two kinds. Fellow Daoist Chen, please name a price!"
