I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2062 The lingering ghost
inside the room.

Chen Lin made some simple arrangements and then took out the reward chest.

The treasure chest is bound to him; no one else can open it, or even see it.

One click.

The box instantly disintegrated.

Several items were enveloped in light and floated in the air.

Chen Lin glanced at it and found that the number was more than he had expected; the random reward items were definitely more than two.

This made him look forward to it.

But before he could get a good look, one of the orbs of light vanished in a flash.

next moment.

The Great Xuandu Seal, which had been cleared away, reappeared in his mind, flickering and vacant, as if Nana's eyes were staring at him.

Chen Lin's expression changed.

Just as I feared, this item appeared out of nowhere, and it was directly bound to me, leaving no room for maneuver.

He used ten Life Coins to increase the probability, but even that couldn't suppress this thing?
Or.

What methods did Nana use to influence the rules of life's journey?

Chen Lin pondered intently.

But he immediately dismissed this guess.

No matter how powerful Nana is, she can't change the rules of the ferry, otherwise she wouldn't have become an unconscious female ghost and needed him to take her to the altar.

Or perhaps he was just unlucky.

There is another reason.

His ability to complete the mission was largely due to this talisman, so when choosing randomly, the probability of being selected naturally increases.

Just like last time when I chose Black Tiger Stealing Heart.

This is the most likely possibility.

Chen Lin gradually calmed down.

There's no point in dwelling on it now; we can only try our best to fulfill the agreement, and if that fails, we'll think of other solutions.

He had agreed to leave the Seven Star Realm for a thousand years.

Suppress your irritability.

Chen Lin looked at the other orbs of light, one of which seemed to contain a black key.

The key to unlocking the soul!

This made him feel a little better.

Life Coins do seem to have some effect. Although they have nothing to do with completing tasks, the fact that they can be selected indicates that they do increase the chances of success.

He grabbed the keys, looked at them, and then put them away.

After scanning the remaining orbs of light, Chen Lin frowned and reached out to grab something.

The light dissipated.

Half of the red jade was exposed.

After seeing that it was indeed Hongyu, he fell into deep thought once again.

The Great Xuandu Seal can be considered an important item for completing the mission, but this red jade did not play any role in the mission. Moreover, he bought it with his own money, not as a gift from the manager of Ruyi Pavilion.

"Could it be because of the contract?"

Chen Lin was somewhat uncertain, but apart from this, there seemed to be no other factors.

It could not possibly be a mere coincidence.

"They really are persistent. They're forcing me to be a person who keeps their promises. Well then, I'll do as the agreement says."

Chen Lin shook his head with a wry smile.

He didn't care about the agreement regarding the Ruyi Token; helping out within his capabilities wasn't too difficult. The main problem was Nana's request, which gave him a headache.

Even if he could reach the Star Ruins within a thousand years, whether he could find Tiger Hill was another question.

According to Xiaohua, the Star Ruins are very vast and empty, making it difficult to set up teleportation arrays, so traveling there would waste a lot of time.

Moreover, Tiger Hill could not possibly be a good place.

Whether finding a place will allow them to untangle the wind chimes is another question.

Chen Lin sighed.

"I was born to be a hard worker!"

He calmed his mind and stopped thinking about it, then reached for another ball of light, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

After silently praying for a moment, he slowly unfurled the scroll.

He immediately felt a jolt of energy.

The five large characters "Eight Gates Summoning Lock Technique" came into view.

However, unlike the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique from last time, this scroll only has the name of the technique, without recording the specific content, and below it is a ferry mark.

Chen Lin attempted to infuse soul power into the mark.

The scroll transformed into individual characters, all of which entered his brow, containing the meaning of inheritance, allowing him to directly guide the practitioner into the path of cultivation.

He had an epiphany.

This kind of reward with a mark should be exclusive, and only the person who opened it can activate it. But something like the Black Tiger's Heart, which anyone who opens can probably get the inheritance, is something that can be traded.

However, whether my guess is correct or not remains to be seen until it is verified.

After receiving the inheritance, Chen Lin finally showed some joy.

The Life Coins weren't wasted. Although I got two unwanted items, I also brought out the two items I wanted most, which made up for it.

But he also felt some regret.

If I had known the probability was so high, I should have distributed it evenly among the treasures that needed it, selecting ten or eight at a time. Maybe that would have eliminated the two contracted items.

pity.

He has no power to change the past, and regret is useless; he can only let new karma entangle him.

Chen Lin cleared his mind of distractions and collected the remaining orbs of light one by one.

The light faded, and the object became visible.

In addition to the Soul Key and the scroll, there are three other item rewards: an Invitation to Life, a stamp, and a letter.

The invitation is shaped like a letter about life. When unfolded, it features a top hat-shaped building, a dove representing life, and the mysterious river of life.

It's much prettier than a boat ticket.

However, this item is not bound to itself, so it should be something that can be traded.

Its function is also simple.

Once activated, it can directly accept life missions without needing to find a specific hat-shaped building.

The stamp is the same size as a regular stamp.

Above is a homing dove and a blurred top hat pattern.

The letter paper is just normal letter paper.

Of course. This thing may look ordinary, but it actually possesses amazing abilities; it serves as the medium through which the ferry of life distributes rewards.

After reading them all, Chen Lin carefully put them away.

He now has stamps and stationery, as well as a quill pen, so he can write letters to issue tasks.

According to Yanli, if the recipient completes the assigned task, some of the rewards can be replicated based on the evaluation. It is important to figure out how to use these rewards to maximize the benefits.

There's no rush for now.

Double-check your own situation.

Chen Lin discovered that the Fire Control Technique, the follow-up techniques of the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique, and the information about the spiritual objects that aided in soul-breaking had not been erased. These things came from Xiao Hua and were not counted as gains from the quest interface.

But with every gain comes a loss.

All the cultivation he had achieved at the mid-stage perfection level through the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique, along with his various supernatural abilities and experience in using fire manipulation techniques, vanished into thin air.

His cultivation level dropped back to the Grandmaster realm.

Also.

The little flower was able to take human form because it used the energy from the mission interface, and it was also recognized as having been obtained from the mission. Now, its spiritual consciousness has been erased, and it has returned to being an unconscious flower bud.

They can't even communicate.

and also.

The sunstone and other items placed in the jade pendant in the cave were also not brought out, so it was all for nothing.

"Ugh!"

Chen Lin sighed deeply.

Suppressing his complicated emotions, he got up and left the city lord's mansion, flying straight towards the city gate.

This time, they were not stopped.

They easily passed through the road barrier and exited the city through the city gate.

The area outside the city was also affected by the light disaster and was shrouded in darkness. Chen Lin dared not be careless and carefully explored outwards, checking the terrain while clearing away the strange creatures around him.

He had no other intention than to collect soul ash.

The level of the strange creatures here is not low either. Although they are not as high as those in the Strange Kingdom, some special creatures can still leave behind some soul ash after being killed.

one year later.

They stayed for nearly a year, clearing out all the strange creatures near the city of Delos, but they didn't collect much soul ash.

Chen Lin lost interest.

Just then, Yanli also made contact with his family and successfully took control of Dero City. He then began to collect items related to the Ferry of Life, as well as magicians and various spiritual objects.

Unfortunately.

Anything related to the journey of life is priceless and unavailable; no one is willing to sell it, and no one even knows who has it.

The sorcerer did collect a copy.

However, after several attempts, Chen Lin failed to cultivate successfully and had no choice but to give up.

As for the reason.

His life form is different from the people here, and his life level is not high enough to meet the requirements for cultivating magic.

The techniques obtained on the ferry of life are all bound to the individual. It is unrealistic to learn them based on the content alone, and they are also subject to the constraints of the ferry, so no one dares to easily divulge them.

But it wasn't a complete loss.

I've collected some spirit items, as well as five-colored nightmare coins.

In addition, they obtained some extremely yang-type treasures, which can provide Xiaohua with the energy to absorb.

Xiaohua's recovery must be the top priority.

Only if the other party recovers will he have a chance to leave the Seven Star Realm within a thousand years and fulfill Nana's promise.

We've stayed long enough.

Chen Lin lingered for over a month until Dero City was completely stable before returning to the real world.

Island of Eccentrics.

The island remains as beautiful as ever.

Chen Lin slowly walked into the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and felt as if he had been transported to another world.

For the people on the island, only a little over a year had passed, but he had lived for nearly two hundred years, and in the name of others.

Deep feelings.

Suddenly, Chen Lin had a new understanding of life, different from the past, and not limited to himself.

Persistence is part of life, and so is letting go.

The desire for longevity is fervent, but even those who live only a day have their joys and sorrows. He felt he was right, Lin Ergou also felt he was right, and neither He Chengfeng, the Weird King, nor Nana felt they were wrong.

This is the Tao.

Everyone has different life experiences, and therefore chooses different paths. As the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

The ferry of life allows people to experience different paths.

This leads to the fusion of different paths.

This is similar to the concept of the fusion of the self and the other.

Chen Lin had an epiphany: perhaps this was the true meaning of the ferry of life. The creator of the ferry wanted to use this method to understand the different beings' perceptions of life and to perfect his own path.

Also a possibility.

The other party is looking for me in this way.

According to the information he had gathered, the way the Sovereign cultivates is to perfect the Dao Mark, and constantly merging with others and expanding the scope of one's own uniqueness is one of the means to perfect the Dao Mark.

Chen Lin stroked his chin, pondering to himself.

If his speculation is correct, the creator of this ferry of life is quite cunning, essentially leading people to walk into a trap.

Moreover, he believes...

This method isn't limited to the Ferry of Life; other powerful individuals also use it. Even this Island of Eccentrics might be a trap set by some powerful being.

Thinking about this, Chen Lin began to consider leaving Qiren Island.

This journey through life has been incredibly rewarding. Even though the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique has fallen back to the Grandmaster level, his overall combat strength is still among the best in the Eternal level.

None of the powerful figures in the Rainbow Realm posed a threat to him.

You can collect the rainbow flowers without worry.

There's also the Rainbow Sword.

Once you get the Rainbow Sword, you can rescue Niu Niu, thus fulfilling an important wish.

Niu Niu had helped him a lot, and he felt indebted to her, so regardless of whether she had any ulterior motives, he had to rescue her.

"I hope it doesn't come to that."

Chen Lin muttered something to himself.

He genuinely didn't want to confront Niu Niu directly, as that would shatter the beautiful ideals in his heart and sever the little goodwill he had for this world.

No matter how dark the path of cultivation may be, as long as there is a candle, he will not feel lonely.

He doesn't like being alone.

That's not the path he wanted.
