I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Under the cover of the Soul-Destroying Finger, the cracks on the strange creature's body became deeper and deeper. It tried to fight back several times, but was unable to escape the suppression of the Soul-Destroying Finger.

Finally, he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Then the corpse disappeared, leaving only a green eyeball and some skin that looked like old tree bark.

Chen Lin is no longer surprised.

First clear out the abnormal energy in the body, then be prepared and go forward to check the situation.

After making sure there was no problem, I picked the item up.

The 'bark' looks hard, but it is actually very soft and tough, just relatively thick, unlike normal skin.

Moreover, it is covered with cracks, so it is probably of no use, at least it cannot be used to refine precious weapons.

The eyeballs have become crystallized.

Very smooth.

It looks like a large green pearl.

I tried to use my internal energy but failed to activate it. After switching to soul, there was a slight reaction.

But it's not obvious either.

As his purpose was uncertain for the time being, Chen Lin put it away and continued walking towards the top hat building.

Be on high alert all the way.

However, they did not encounter any more attacks and arrived at the building smoothly.

"who!"

As soon as I approached, a low voice sounded, carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Chen Lin stopped immediately.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I am a guest of the Yan family. I just came from somewhere else. I don't know what happened here. Is Yan Li here?"

"How to prove it?"

the voice asked again.

Chen Lin took out the token that Yan Li gave him last time.

Just threw it over.

Before it even hit the ground, it was swept away by a ray of light.

Soon.

A master hidden in a cloak came out.

"Brother Yan?"

Chen Lin determined from the breath that the person who came out was Yan Li.

However, the opponent's breathing was very unstable, one of his legs seemed to have problems, and his walking posture was very strange.

"It's really Brother Chen!"

"I'm Yanli!"

Yanli pulled back the cloak on his head, revealing a face that was constantly twisting and squirming.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He didn't rush forward, but stood there and asked, "Brother Yan, how did you get into this state?"

Yan Li also did not approach Chen Lin.

He buttoned his cloak again and stopped several feet away from Chen Lin.

"I was attacked by a strange creature. I was lucky enough to survive, but I was unable to resolve the abnormality on my body."

Done.

He looked Chen Lin up and down.

"Brother Chen, you were not attacked when you came here. To be on the safe side, you need to answer a few questions of mine and be identified by Si Shu before you can enter the shelter. I hope you understand."

"can."

Chen Lin nodded.

Then he took out the green eyeball.

He showed it to the other party and said, "I was indeed attacked when I came here, but I have killed that strange creature. This is the remnant. Brother Yan, can you tell what kind of creature it is?"

"what!"

Yan Li exclaimed.

Brush brush!
As he exclaimed, several figures immediately approached and looked at his eyeball with disbelief.

Chen Lin immediately understood that the strange creature he killed was not ordinary, and it was probably the culprit that prevented these masters from going out.

No hesitation.

He took out the 'bark' again.

Hold it in the palm of your hand.

"This is also the remnant of that creature. You all look like this, could it be that this weird creature is very special?"

The priests looked at each other.

One of the tall men took out a mirror slightly larger than the palm of his hand.

He shook it gently towards Chen Lin.

A faint golden light appeared on the mirror.

Then Chen Lin felt as if water was washing over his body, but he did not feel any danger, so he did not circulate energy to resist and allowed the other party to cast the spell.

"no problem."

The tall man put away the mirror, his voice trembling slightly.

Yan Li quickly came to Chen Lin and said excitedly: "Brother Chen can actually kill the king-level weird creature, which gives us hope!"

"King level?"

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.

He suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder it took dozens of soul-destroying fingers to hit the monster before it died completely, it turned out to be a king-level existence.

In this case, there is no need to worry too much.

There must not be many king-level monsters. Ordinary ones can probably be eliminated with just a few fingers. His Soul-Destroying Finger has been promoted to the second stage. After the prototype of the true soul body has condensed, his soul power is sufficient, so he should have no problem protecting himself.

"It's the king level."

Yan Li nodded heavily.

"We can still resist ordinary strange creatures, but since the appearance of this king-level creature, Dro City immediately fell into disaster. Almost all the people in the city were devoured, and only a small number of people relied on the life ferry to survive."

"If you don't come, we won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Chen Lin glanced at the top hat building.

Still the same as before.

The life pigeon above looked around, seemingly unaffected by the light disaster.

And at the bottom of the corner of the building, the builders’ simple dwellings of various sizes are all under the brim of their top hats. None of them are out of range. It is estimated that only this range is safe.

"Are there any other strange creatures in the city? What's the situation outside the city?"

Chen Lin retracted his gaze and asked.

"There is only one king-level existence. As for the lower-level ones, it doesn't matter if there are any. The surviving Si Shi are very powerful and can handle them without Brother Chen's intervention."

"As for outside the city."

Yan Li shook his head.

"We have been trapped for two hundred years and have long been cut off from the outside world. We know nothing about the situation outside."

After hearing this, Chen Lin did not ask any more questions.

Changing the subject, he asked, "Can the ferry of life still be used?"

He came in to overcome the tribulation. The situation in this scene did not have much to do with him. Regardless of whether he succeeded in overcoming the tribulation or not, it was still unclear whether he would come in again.

Maybe I'll just use the ferry ticket next time.

"Can use."

Yanli answered immediately.

Then he continued, "The ferry is not affected by the light disaster, not only here, but also in other places. It is a shelter for all the masters when facing the light disaster. Unfortunately, the area is too small and the number of people it can accommodate is limited."

Just saying.

A dozen more figures came over.

"Did someone come to rescue us?"

A weak female voice sounded, filled with strong expectations.

"It's all saved."

Yanli spoke loudly.

Then he stood beside Chen Lin, looked around at everyone and said, "This is my Yan family's worshiper, Chen Lin, the Great Master Chen. He has already eliminated the strange green-eyed creature. According to the rules for dealing with light disasters, this city now belongs to Chen. If you want to occupy territory in the city, you must obtain Chen's permission."

Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.

There was no retort.

Although he didn't know what the use of such a small town shrouded in light disaster was, since the other party said so, it must have some value.

"The Blue-Eyed King was destroyed?"

The later masters were stunned when they heard the news. They looked at Yan Li and Chen Lin in disbelief. After seeing what was in Chen Lin's hand, they finally reacted and burst into uncontrollable cheers.

Chen Lin shook his head secretly. Although these Sishis were very powerful, they only relied on their high life levels. In other aspects, they could not compare with cultivators.

The state of mind is very different.

Think of this.

He glanced at Yanli who was standing next to him.

It has been seven or eight hundred years since he last left, and the other party’s life span is probably very short.

After all, there are not many Si Shi who can live for more than a thousand years.

"Please, Mr. Chen!"

Yan Li bowed and made a gesture of invitation, while frequently glancing at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin cooperated with the other party.

With a stern face and pretending to be a master, he followed the other party into a room under the brim of his hat. The others wanted to follow but were hesitant. They wanted to go into the city to investigate the situation but did not dare to, so they could only return to other buildings to communicate.

"puff!"

As soon as he walked into the room, Yan Li staggered to sit on a stool, a mouthful of blood gushed out, which he swallowed back.

The muscles on his face moved faster.

It kept cracking and healing, and produced waves of white frost.

"Brother Yan was attacked by this eye?"

Chen Lin raised the eyeball in his hand.

Yan Li nodded quickly.

"Brother Chen, please lend me this thing. I want to see if I can absorb the strange energy in my body. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll turn into a monster."

"No need to bother."

Chen Lin did not give the other party an eye, but mobilized his soul power to perform the Soul-Destroying Finger, and controlled the strength so as to avoid not being able to save the person but instead annihilating the other party's soul.

The energy from the Soul-Destroying Finger was injected into Yan Li's body, and his condition improved immediately.

The face was no longer distorted and the hoarfrost gradually faded away.

Half an hour later.

Completely stabilized.

"call!"

Yanli showed an expression of relief at surviving the disaster.

"Brother Chen has been missing for so many years, and his strength has increased so much that even the Grand Master may not be your opponent."

Complimented.

He struggled to sit up straight.

He said to Chen Lin: "Brother Chen, take this opportunity to take control of Dro City. Now that the light disaster has covered a large area, the value of cities with life ferries has increased infinitely. After a few years, perhaps only cities like this will be suitable for survival."

"Has the situation gotten so bad that all places are affected by the light disaster?"

Chen Lin frowned.

This was not a situation he wanted to see.

Although he might not encounter this scene again, he does not want this retreat to disappear, as it might be useful in the future.

"Not everywhere."

Yanli answered in a low voice.

"Two hundred years ago, there were still many places that could hold out. Even if the situation worsens now, humans have to survive. At least the ferry can provide some protection. And there are places where the Grand Master is in charge, so it is estimated that they can continue to be maintained."

“And the Holy Land.”

A look of longing appeared in Yanli's eyes.

"The Holy Land is full of powerful people, and with the Great Saint Master here, we will definitely be able to stop the erosion of the light disaster!"

Chen Lin didn't make a sound.

He knew about the holy land, which was said to be the birthplace of the Sishi and the place with the highest power in this scene.

Equivalent to the imperial court.

But according to the information he knew, the holy land was very far away from here, and there was no such thing as a teleportation array. With the light disaster raging now, it was simply unrealistic to think about going there.

Dro City is just a small border town and is not suitable for cultivation, otherwise it would not even have a grand master.

If there were no life ferry, no master would even come here.

"Brother Chen, will you leave again after you come back this time?"

"meeting."

Chen Lin didn't hide anything.

"I came here just to enter the Ferry of Life, complete the mission of the Life Letter, and then leave."

Although he had an agreement with the other party that he would join the Yan family when he came in again, the situation was different now. He had saved the other party's life and the agreement did not need to be abided by.

Yan Li was not surprised.

He had known for a long time that Chen Lin was a visitor from outside and had never thought of keeping him here. He just wanted to use this opportunity to seek some benefits for himself.

"Brother Chen, can you trade me the remains of the Jade Shadow King?"

After a pause, Yanli made a request.

He immediately added: "I don't ask for the eyeballs, just give me some of that skin in exchange."

"What's the use of this thing?"

Chen Lin put the "bark" on the table and asked.

Yanli smacked his lips.

"It has many uses. It can be used to refine magical weapons, and it can also assist in cultivation and enhance the power of Sishu."

"But this is secondary."

"The most important thing is that the energy of the king-level strange creatures can increase lifespan after being refined!"

Speaking of it.

Yan Li looked at Chen Lin and said, "Brother Chen also knows my situation. Although I have used some other longevity products over the years, the effects are mediocre. I can only live for two to three hundred years at most."

"I've hurt my vitality this time, and my life span has been drastically reduced. I've already boarded the Life Ferry twice, and the third time will require a thousand years of interval. I'm not sure if I can make it through that time."

"Please help me, Brother Chen!"

Chen Lin was noncommittal.

He continued, "How many years can a piece of skin like this add to your life?"

He had risked his life to get these things, so he couldn't just give them away for free. Since the other party was a nice guy and had helped him in the past, he could give him some of the profits, but it had to be a fair deal.

Yan Li naturally understood.

His relationship with Chen Lin was not so close that he could take such a valuable treasure for free, so he immediately took the initiative to change his mind.

"This piece of residue is not small, and the level of the Green Shadow King is also high. If all of it is used, it can at least extend my life by a thousand years. I dare not ask for all of it, so half or a small half will be fine. Brother Chen, please feel free to ask for any conditions you need."

Prolong life for a thousand years.

Chen Lin had an idea in his mind.

The thousand-year lifespan here is different from that outside. It is equivalent to the second life of a high-level sorcerer.

If it were put up for auction, it would definitely fetch an exaggerated price.

But he didn't want to waste time.

After a pause, he said, "Then I'll sell you half."

"As for the conditions, I want high-level spiritual objects, the energy level needs to be higher than a lot of money, and I also need Sishu inheritance and magic weapons. Just give me as much as you think these things are worth."

"besides."

Chen Lin glanced outside.

"I have no interest in managing this city. I can occupy it and then give it to your Yan family. Any value will be converted into the items I mentioned."

"no problem!"

Yanli agreed readily.

Then he explained, "But I need to see if I can contact my family first. What Brother Chen wants is too precious. I can't get it out by myself."

"But don't worry, Brother Chen."

He hastily assured, "Even if I can't contact the family, I will definitely be able to collect Brother Chen's reward!"

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Lin broke the 'bark' in half from where it was almost completely cracked and handed it to Yan Li.

He smiled and said, "If you can't raise the remuneration, then sell yourself and work for me to pay you back in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

Yan Li knew that Chen Lin still remembered their original friendship, so he put the things away with a smile on his face.

Can't wait to get up.

"Without further delay, I will leave the city to contact the family and take a look at the situation outside. Brother Chen, do you want to come with me?"

"Don't worry."

Chen Lin spoke out to stop him.

"You haven't recovered from your injuries yet, so it's not suitable for you to leave the city. I just happened to be boarding the Ferry of Life, so you can talk to me when I come back."
