I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2024 Raising Gu
After thinking about it, Chen Lin did not hide anything in response to the food guardian's question.

I briefly explained the situation.

There must be a reason why the other party mentioned this matter, and he also wants to understand the mystery of the Spiritual Realm.

"You had an epiphany while making delicious food?"

When the Food Guardian heard Chen Lin say that he learned it when making his mother's buns, he was quite surprised and looked at Chen Lin with a different look.

ponder for a moment.

She warned: "The fact that you can suddenly realize something while making delicious food shows that you have a great talent in food. Don't waste it. Although the way of food is only an auxiliary training, you can still reach the end if you use it well."

“What is the end point?”

Chen Lin immediately grasped the key issue.

The food guardian poured himself a cup of tea, "It means practicing the Tao to perfection, condensing it into a Tao seal, reaching the point where I am the Tao and the Tao is me."

"Isn't that the master?"

Chen Lin asked.

"Yes and no."

The food guardian took a sip of tea.

He explained slowly: "The master can also continue to practice. The process of practice is to constantly improve the Dao traces and form Dao seals. You can regard it as the master's great perfection."

Chen Lin didn't ask any more questions.

He understood what the other party meant, but these things were still far away from him, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to them for the time being.

The most important thing to avoid in spiritual practice is to aim too high.

Sometimes knowing too high-level secrets is not a good thing. Opportunities are rare, so it is better to ask for the information you need most.

Think about it this way.

Chen Lin asked again: "My Lord, you seem to know a lot about the practice of monks. If you have any advice on how to advance to the eternal realm, I am willing to pay you."

"No reward required."

The food guardian put down his teacup.

"You have been recognized by the Food Tripod and have been awarded the title of Seven-Star Gourmet. Even if you are a gourmet, it is only natural for me to provide you with some help."

"There are thousands of ways to practice, and each one can lead to mastery."

"Naturally, you can achieve eternity."

There was a pause.

The Food Guardian looked at Chen Lin and said, "If you want me to give you precise advice, then release your perception defense and let me understand your situation. If it is inconvenient, I will give you a general introduction to the common methods of advancing to the Eternal Realm."

"Your Excellency, please observe."

Chen Lin restrained his internal strength for defense.

Apart from internal force, other means are simply unable to block the opponent's perception.

Moreover, he suspected that the other party had seen through him a long time ago. After all, after entering the scene, he did not use his internal force to cover up all the time, because his internal force was simply not enough to do so.

The other party asked just to send a friendly signal.

"Thank you for your trust."

The food guardian smiled.

It's just that his mouth is too big, and when he smiles, all his sharp teeth are visible, which looks very ferocious.

Chen Lin's mouth twitched.

If he didn't understand the inside story, and his soul and talent could sense the other person's kindness, just this smile would be enough to scare him away.

immediately.

The gourmet guardian's eyes glowed with fluorescence.

Chen Lin felt a wave like water passing through his body.

from head to foot.

Even the soul was scanned.

But the other party did not use any other means, and did everything openly and honestly, and everything was done within his perception.

He wasn't without reservations.

He used his inner strength to wrap the Dongtian Jade Pendant to block the other party's inspection. He didn't want the other party to know whether it was the Confused Fruit, the flower bud, or the character card and disc inside.

Again.

You can't use treasures to test human nature.

"All right."

The fluorescence in the food guardian's eyes faded.

The bloated body has actually become thinner, as if a lot of energy has been consumed.

See this.

Chen Lin hurriedly said with concern: "I am sorry to have troubled you, sir."

"It doesn't matter."

The food guardian straightened his body.

After a pause, he said, "I basically understand the situation."

"I have to say that your situation is very complicated. No matter the cultivation method or magical treasures, none of them are pure. There are abnormal causes and effects in them."

Chen Lin frowned.

"Everything has cause and effect, including souls and talents?"

"Yes."

The food guardian nodded.

"You are the legendary space stowaway, right? That's why you think there's nothing wrong with your soul. But on the contrary, I know this secret: all space stowaways have problems with their souls."

"What is the secret you are talking about?"

Chen Lin really found it hard to accept this statement. He always believed that his soul was extremely pure. If the other party could not give a convincing reason, he would suspect whether the other party had any purpose.

“It’s not really a secret.”

The guardian of gourmet food waved his hand.

A small tripod with different animal heads appeared above the two of them, scattering colorful light and forming a light shield that enveloped the two of them.

Chen Lin didn't move.

The opponent is a high-level guardian, and his strength is needless to say in this scenario.

If the internal force can suppress the opponent, then there is nothing to worry about. If it cannot be suppressed, then no matter what you do, it will be useless. It is better to wait and see.

"Don't worry too much. Our conversation may be sensed by others, so we need to isolate ourselves."

The Food Guardian gives a brief explanation.

Then he said, "Do you know Tianhu Diaosou?"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

Nod.

"It's good to know."

The food guardian didn't ask any more questions.

The story goes: "Back then, the Star Emperor of this world and the Tianhu Diaosou had a grudge, but the Tianhu Diaosou broke through the second realm of domination first, killed the Star Emperor, and used the entire Seven Star Realm as a place to raise Gu."

Chen Lin's heart sank.

From the information he had learned before, what the other party said should be true, so the abnormality on his body must also be true, which gave him a bad feeling.

"Do you know the magical power of Tianhu Diaosou?"

The Food Guardian asked.

"I've heard a little bit about it. It seems to be fishing in the heavens."

Chen Lin thought of Qing Huang’s words.

"Correct."

The food guardian was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Chen Lin to know so much.

Then he said, "The way of cultivation of Tianhu Diaosou is to fish for the strange creatures in the heavens, raise them in the way of raising Gu, and then supply them for himself to devour and absorb."

"And all the stowaways from the Seven Star Realm are just the targets chosen by Tianhu Diaosou."

"You think you are the protagonist favored by God, but in fact you are just the opponent's food. The truth is so cruel. Everything you have is given by the other party."

Chen Lin's expression changed uncertainly.

a long time.

He said in a deep voice: "Is there no way to crack it?"

Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, he had to take the information seriously.

But he was not desperate.

The way of cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. No one can be sure of life and death. Although he has always been cautious, he will not be in a state of panic because of things that have not happened. "There is no certainty in the world."

The gourmet guardian's tone became firm and powerful.

Tianhu Diaosou is also a cultivator and can be defeated and killed as well, he is just stronger than us.

"To be honest, I was also one of the people being fished for."

Chen Lin was slightly startled.

A sudden realization came into my mind.

It seems that there are quite a few targets chosen by Tianhu Diaosou. Grand Duke Bai Yueguang, Kaguya, the Sword Girl, and members of the Ant Club are likely to be this type of people.

“I’m also looking for a way out.”

The Food Guardian spoke in a low voice.

"However, by chance, I gained the recognition of Shi Ding and temporarily cut off the Tianhu Diaosou's perception."

"The other party is only at the second level of mastery, and is not yet omniscient and omnipotent."

"Moreover, the life level of the second-level master has undergone a qualitative change. Entering the low-level cultivation realm will not replenish energy. The opponent will not come in person. Just pay more attention to those clones and slave masters."

"so."

"What you need to do most right now is to find a way to cut off the other party's perception."

Chen Lin took a breath.

Stand up and bow.

"Please give me some pointers, sir."

The food guardian thought for a while.

Then hold up three fingers.

"I'll show you three ways, but I can't say whether they will be effective or not. You can choose for yourself."

"First."

"You are from the Rainbow Realm, right? I know that realm. It is the place where the Star Emperor rose to power. The other party's natal treasure, the Rainbow Sword, is there. If you can get the sword and get its recognition, you can cut off the induction pull of Diaotianhu Sou."

"But there's a drawback."

"Xing Huang is the lifelong enemy of Tian Hu Diao Sou. He will definitely focus on this sword. Although Xing Huang used some means to create a boundary river before his death to prevent the master from entering, he still has to guard against Tian Hu Diao Sou from taking risks."

"in addition."

The food guardian glanced at Chen Lin.

"Some of the causes and conditions in your life are related to this sword. I suspect that these people want to use you to get the sword and attract the attention of Tianhu Diaosou, and then take advantage of the situation."

Chen Lin remained silent.

In his heart, he was secretly amazed at the other party's methods. He really saw through him clearly.

I don't know where the other party came from.

"the second."

The food guardian continued.

"There is something to be said about your talent. The path of destiny is the most elusive of all paths. Although it is also caused by external forces, if it is improved to a certain level, it can disrupt the trajectory of one's own destiny and thus cut off the induction of Tianhu Diaosou."

“But there are drawbacks as well.”

"As far as I know, the main cultivation of the Star Emperor is the Way of Destiny. If you cultivate this way to a high level, you may be discovered by the Tianhu Fisherman before you are able to disrupt the trajectory of your destiny."

"The other party will most likely close the call early."

Chen Lin was once again impressed by the other party's analysis.

Back in Sifang City, the image left by Kaguya made him think that he was the reincarnation of the Star Emperor, and once said, "You still chose your fate."

He had suspected from the beginning that his innate abilities were related to the Star Emperor.

Now it seems to be true.

suddenly.

Chen Lin remembered something.

He interrupted and asked, "Someone once told me that someone might have used mysterious means to impose other people's karma on me. Which side of the matter could you tell, sir?"

"Did not see it."

The food guardian shook his head.

"If this is really the case, then the other party should be using a high-level method that does not belong to the Seven Star Realm. It is similar to the energy in your body."

"It is very difficult to master this kind of energy in the low-level cultivation world. There is only one place I can think of."

“That’s the ferry of life.”

Having said that, the Food Guardian looked at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin nodded.

"Your Excellency is indeed well-informed. I have indeed been on the ferry of life."

"It's not that I'm well-informed."

The food guardian slowly shook his head.

"There are very few treasures that can cross the gap between dimensions. There are only two known in the Seven Star Realm. One has long been lost in the long river of history and has not appeared for tens of millions of years. The only one left is the Ferry of Life."

"And the third method I want to talk about is also this mysterious place."

"You can obtain high-dimensional energy there, which means you are destined to be there. You should try again. Maybe you can find a way to resolve the problem of being trapped."

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

Chen Lin thanked him again.

But I felt a little disappointed.

In fact, he knew most of what the other party said.

It's just not that detailed.

Moreover, the three methods mentioned by the other party were also what he had thought of a long time ago, and he had already formulated an action plan.

"Have you ever been to the abyss, sir?"

Chen Lin thought for a moment and asked again.

"Of course I have been there. In order to maintain the operation of the Boundary River, the Star Emperor divided the Seven Star Realm into two parts, the upper part is Yang and the lower part is Yin, to provide energy for the Boundary River."

“Although the energy level there is not low, it is not suitable for cultivation.”

"In fact, even the Yang Region is not suitable for cultivation. The imbalance of Yin and Yang is serious. The place that is truly suitable for cultivation is precisely within the Boundary River. It's just that many people don't understand this truth."

"Been taught a lesson."

Chen Lin responded immediately.

But that wasn't what he wanted to ask.

Then he asked again: "My Lord, do you know that there is an evil god named Gu Luoqi in the abyss?"

"Guroci?"

The Food Guardian thought about it.

"I remember now that Guluoqi is not actually one person, but the collective name of three powerful ancient beings. However, I have never paid attention to him. I have only heard some legends from time to time."

"I have one last question."

Chen Lin took over the conversation.

"My Lord said that I have a talent for gourmet food. I wonder if the spiritual realm I have mastered also has cause and effect in it?"

"That's what I was going to talk to you about."

The food guardian tilted his head and looked as if he was thinking.

Then he said, "To be honest, I had only heard of the Soul-Empowering Realm before I met you, but I had never seen it. It is rumored that this is the second stage of Intention, but after observing how you use it, it seems to have nothing to do with Intention."

“They are two completely different systems.”

"This situation is too strange. I can't see through it, so it's hard to give you an accurate answer."

There was a pause.

The Food Guardian added: "If you want to find out the truth about this matter, it's best to go to the Life Ferry. There are many mysteries there, and it is connected to a high-dimensional interface. Perhaps you can find the answer there."

“I heard that the third stage of this system is the Creator.”

"I am also very curious whether it is true or not, because it is really a bit exaggerated. Even the master can only control the rules, but cannot create them."

Chen Lin also thought it was impossible.

He nodded and said, "Maybe the rumor is wrong."

He did not feel how mysterious the spiritual realm was, and sometimes he would even be suppressed. It was not as magical as the legend said.

"Okay, I've said everything I can say. You and I should not talk about Tianhu Diaosou from now on, lest he sense it. If you have nothing else to do, just leave. Try to come here less often in the future."

The food guardian removed the light shield and ordered the guests to leave.

Chen Lin stood up immediately.

After bowing deeply, he said goodbye and left.
