I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

The Mist Lord has finally recovered.

With lingering fear in his eyes, he approached Chen Lin and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist. I will always remember this kindness and will do my best to help you in the future."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

He said calmly, "It was your cat that begged me. It said that if I save you, it will help me once in the future."

The Mist Lord was taken aback.

He looked at his cat, his expression turning grim, as if a certain possibility had occurred to him.

The black cat stretched.

With a meow, it leaped up and landed on Chen Lin's shoulder.

He spoke in human language to the Lord of Fog.

“I feel he’s better able to help me find my mother, so let’s break up. I’ll be with him from now on.”

The mist master hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Finally, he nodded silently.

Chen Lin glanced at the black cat with surprise, then said with interest, "I never said I would help you find your mother, and I don't like having a strange cat around."

"Do you want to sign a contract?"

The black cat spoke lazily.

Done.

He opened his mouth and spat out a black bead.

“This is my demon core. You can leave your contract mark on it, but I can only serve you for one thousand years, no, nine hundred and ninety years. After that, regardless of whether you can help me find my mother, our contract will terminate.”

There was a pause.

The little black cat continued, "If you can help me find my mother, you will gain my friendship and also receive a reward from my mother. Believe me, that will be a benefit you can't even imagine."

The Mist Lord's expression grew even uglier.

This cat has been with him for so long, and he has tried countless times to form a contract with it, but the other party has always disagreed, not even with an equal contract.

But now it is taking the initiative to reach the demon core.

"Demon pill?"

Chen Lin looked at the black bead but couldn't sense any demonic power from it.

The little black cat licked its lips.

"It's just a name. Demons and monsters are just differences in cultivation systems. Don't worry about what it's called. Just think of it as a demon core."

After saying that, she leaned on Chen Lin's shoulder, looking completely indifferent.

Chen Lin remained silent for a while.

Then smiled.

Looking at the little black cat, he said, "Since you want to follow me, then follow me. There's no need to sign a contract. You can leave whenever you want."

The little black cat's eyes lit up.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the demon core back.

He shook his head slightly. "You are a truly valiant and manly warrior. It's a pity I'm a tomcat, otherwise I would definitely consider marrying you."

Chen Lin's lips twitched.

He ignored the other person's teasing.

He said calmly, "If you stay by my side, you must obey my orders and not do anything that might affect me, or don't blame me for kicking you out."

"of course."

In return, I will do my best.
I'll help you find your mother.

Chen Lin continued.

"make a deal!"

The little black cat stretched out a paw.

Chen Lin also extended his palm and patted the other person on the shoulder.

He had just used his Destiny Talent to sense that the other party did not have any subjective malice in his divination, and the other party also had good abilities, so having the other party by his side would be useful.

"Hehe, congratulations Fellow Daoist Chen on obtaining a spirit pet."

The chess master spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the little black cat immediately glanced at him.

He corrected her, "They're partners, remember, partners!"

"Sorry, I misspoke, it should be 'partner'."

The chess master answered immediately.

His expression immediately hardened.

The little black cat's voice seemed to carry a sense of 'oppression,' causing him to subconsciously give a reply, but this reply was not what he wanted to say.

The other party was able to interfere with his thinking!

"When did Fellow Daoist Huo become so easy to talk to? I never knew before. You're also a cat lover."

An Gu Zi made a sarcastic remark.

He did not notice that the chess master was being interfered with.

It's not just him.

Neither Feng Wanding nor Guo Tiezui noticed it.

Only Chen Lin had a slight feeling about it.

He glanced at the little black cat, but the little black cat had already closed its eyes slightly, looking drowsy.

"How should I address you, my partner?"

Chen Lin asked a question to divert the chess master's attention and prevent him from getting angry, which would make things difficult for him.

"Just call me Xiao Xun."

The black cat responded with its beard still attached.

Then he stopped talking to anyone.

Chen Lin glanced at the Mist Master again, considering whether he should explain, since the kitten had originally been following the other party.

The Mist Lord immediately forced a smile.

"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. It's better for Xiao Xun to follow Fellow Daoist Chen than to follow me."

Chen Lin nodded and said nothing more.

Turning my gaze to the rainbow bridge above, especially the phantom of that giant sword.

At this moment, the colorful giant sword trembled continuously, as if it might fly off the bridge at any moment, and emitted waves that made people's hearts tremble.

Around the giant sword, rainbow flowers kept emerging, like attendants guarding a king.

The information he had gathered flashed through Chen Lin's mind.

Since the Rainbow Sword began to move, rainbow flowers have appeared around it, attracting numerous powerful individuals who wanted to pick them. However, without exception, they all died under the sword intent of the Rainbow Sword.

One batch after another.

Finally, everyone calmed down, and no one dared to approach the sword anymore.

Several members of the Big-Headed Tribe died by the sword.

Later, when everyone realized that things were hopeless, they began to explore the distant bridge surface, collecting any individual rainbow flowers that appeared by chance.

Rainbow flowers are rare in other places. The Big Head Clan controlled Rainbow City for several years and only managed to pick six flowers. Three of them were used for experiments by the three leaders, and the remaining three ended up in his hands.

When does Fellow Daoist Chen plan to retrieve the sword?

The chess master suppressed his surprise and doubt, stopped paying attention to the black cat, and instead inquired about the important matter.

Chen Lin also put his thoughts aside.

He turned his head and asked, "Fellow Daoist Huo, are you also interested in this sword?"

The chess master immediately shook his head.

"I dare not take this sword. I only hope to obtain one or two rainbow flowers. The conditions remain the same as before. As long as Fellow Daoist Chen helps me obtain rainbow flowers, I can exchange them for any treasure."

He looked at Chen Lin.

He laughed and said, "Including my daughter."

"Ha ha!"

Guo Tiezui, who was standing next to him, laughed heartily.

"Huo Qing, are you still determined to give Ninth Miss to Fellow Daoist Chen? But as far as I know, Fellow Daoist Chen already has a principal wife. If your Ninth Miss marries him, she can only be a concubine. Even if you are willing, Ninth Miss will not agree."

The chess master's lips twitched slightly.

But they persisted.

“Why should we cultivators be bound by worldly rules? A Daoist partner is a Daoist partner, without distinction of rank. If Fellow Daoist Chen is willing, I can persuade my daughter.”

Chen Lin was both amused and exasperated.

He waved his hand.

"Please don't mention Ninth Sister. If she knew she was being used as a bargaining chip, she would probably go berserk. We can be friends, but we will never become Daoist partners."

After saying that, he looked at the Rainbow Bridge again.

"The rainbow flower is up there. You are all top experts. If you want it, just go up and pick it."

The chess master and the others exchanged glances.

Feng Wanding said solemnly, "We are not from the Rainbow Realm, nor have we cultivated the Seven Supreme Laws. We are not compatible with the rules of this Rainbow Bridge, so it will be very difficult for us to obtain the Rainbow Flower."

"The cultivation technique that Fellow Daoist Chen practices seems to have been created specifically for the Rainbow Bridge. If you were to retrieve it, it would be a piece of cake, and the danger wouldn't be too great."

"but."

"But what?"

Chen Lin immediately pressed for more information.

This Pill King is a decent person; we should listen to what he says.

Feng Wanding looked towards the Rainbow Bridge.

He said in a deep voice, "The Rainbow Bridge is not yet truly stable, and it is not the time to collect the Rainbow Sword. But when the time comes, the Rainbow Bridge will be completely connected to the outside of the boundary river, and powerful outsiders may come to snatch it."

Chen Lin's expression changed slightly.

He had thought about this question as well.

Over the years, apart from the White Bird and the Big Head Clan, no other powerful beings have emerged outside the boundary river. It seems that they are all waiting for the Rainbow Bridge to stabilize before crossing over.

"Can a Dominator-level expert come in?"

Chen Lin asked about his biggest worry.

"Probably not."

This time, it was Guo Tiezui who answered.

"Before being attacked by the World Annihilation Talisman, the upper limit of the Rainbow Realm was the peak of Eternity. The entire River of Boundaries could not support a Dominator-level powerhouse."

"maybe."

Suddenly, a strange man who was not familiar with Chen Lin spoke up.

Chen Lin looked over.

The other person was a tall, slender man with long, snow-white hair. During his time on Qiren Island, this person seemed to have only appeared once, and he had no contact with him, not even knowing his name.

Seeing his confusion.

Guo Tiezui introduced, "This is Suomi, from Wanshengtian. He's also an old man from Qiren Island. He joined around the same time as me and is skilled in divination."

Chen Lin was taken aback.

The skill of divination and destiny are of the same origin. Could the other person also be a practitioner of destiny?
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Suo. It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask what you meant by what you just said?"

Somi also cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"It's nothing, just a reminder. The supreme powerhouses of the outer realms and the ancient evil gods of the abyss can all ascend the Rainbow Bridge, but they just can't unleash their domineering-level abilities."

Chen Lin's expression relaxed slightly.

As long as he cannot exert his domineering abilities, he can contend with him.

of course.

He needed to go up the bridge beforehand to see if his methods were feasible. If even the higher-dimensional power was suppressed, then he would have to think of another way.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, do not be careless."

Seeing Chen Lin's expression, Somi immediately said, "Those slave seal overlords and ancient evil gods, even without using overlord-level power, are not something that the Eternal Realm can deal with. The methods they possess are unimaginable."

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."

Chen Lin nodded his thanks.

"You're welcome."

Somi replied, but hesitated.

Chen Lin noticed this reaction and asked without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Suo, please feel free to say what you want to say. Although we are not familiar with each other, we are both extraordinary people from Qiren Island. We will meet many times in the future."

"Um……"

Somir drew out a long note.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I just performed a divination for Fellow Daoist Chen. You are likely to face a calamity soon, which will probably occur around the time you receive the Rainbow Sword. However, there is a layer of mystery surrounding you, so the divination result may not be accurate."

"But even if it's inaccurate, it won't be too far off; disaster is certain."

You'd better be careful.

"of course."

"Fellow Daoist is a person of great fortune and possesses extraordinary supernatural abilities. You should be able to turn danger into safety. I am merely offering a friendly reminder; if you do not believe me, then disregard what I said." (End of Chapter)
