I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2097 Overlapping Pointers
dad?

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

It seems that the Sun-Devouring Earthworm really had its original intelligence erased by the evil god Gretel. After its intelligence was restarted, it has come to regard him as family. No wonder it did not resist the symbiotic seal at all.

His expression softened.

Although he wasn't a true offspring, he used the essence, blood, and soul of the other party when he refined them, so there was actually no difference between him and an offspring.

What made Chen Lin even happier was...

After the symbiotic seal is formed, the other party not only gains intelligence, but is also able to break through the suppression of the ferry rules and communicate with him.

He understood immediately.

Why can the rag dolls of the rag doll girl exhibit life fluctuations?

They should also be symbiotic entities of each other, and this symbiotic relationship is recognized by the ferry rules as the same life, which is why they are not subject to the restrictions of the ticket.

What an advanced secret technique!

Chen Lin secretly thanked the doll girl.

The fact that the other party was willing to give him such a secret technique is enough to show that they are a grateful person and can be trusted. They might even be able to help him get rid of the Old Fisherman of Tianhu Lake.

of course.

The prerequisite is that the other party can complete the treasure chest mission.

"My lord, my name is Xiao Xian. May I ask your name?"

The demon man bowed to Chen Lin and asked somewhat nervously.

Chen Lin suppressed his thoughts.

He turned around.

He looked the other person up and down.

He countered with, "What is your cultivation level? Where do you come from?"

Now that only the two of them are left on the ship, and the other party still needs him, there is nothing to worry about.

"I am from the Eternal Realm, from the White Profound Realm."

Xiao Xian clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

I glanced at the spot where the ferry had disappeared.

He asked respectfully, "Sir, is this ship we are on truly a ferry for life?"

Chen Lin touched the Sun-Swallowing Earthworm on his wrist.

While sensing the life fluctuations above, he said, "Do you want me to be your guide? That will require payment. Everything on this ship is traded, and only what is traded is protected by the rules."

Xiao was taken aback.

He then smiled wryly and said, "There are only the two of us on this ship, and it seems I have no other choice."

Chen Lin nodded.

He paused for a moment and said, "If you only want me to explain the basic rules, it will only cost thirty..."

Halfway through the sentence.

An unusual phenomenon suddenly appeared on his body, as if black mist was faintly emerging, and a sense of danger descended from the shadows.

Chen Lin thought of something.

Change your tune immediately.

"It only takes three Life Coins, or one Character Card."

The words fell.

The black fog and the sense of danger vanished completely.

Chen Lin sighed inwardly.

It seems that even the guides are subject to constraints; they can't charge exorbitant prices. The fee for providing basic information can't be too high. No wonder both Jin Sanyuan and the woman in the black dress only charge a few Life Coins.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian immediately took out three Life Coins.

However, he immediately recalled the scene from the ferry just now, so he put away the Life Coins and took out a character card to hand to Chen Lin.

"I use character cards."

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

I never expected to have such a gain.

For him now, character cards are much more important than three life coins.

He took the card.

After waiting for a while and seeing no danger, he finally took it.

Then, the rules on the ferry were briefly explained.

"Alright, that's all the basic information. If you want to know more, you'll have to pay extra."

Xiao Xian's face was extremely ugly.

After understanding the rules, he realized that the cost of the ferry was tiered; if he missed it now, he might never have the chance again.

However, fishing for treasure chests is also extremely dangerous.

He only had two life cards in total, and gave one to Chen Lin, meaning Chen Lin only had one chance to fail.

"Um, I'm willing to exchange six Life Coins for the chance to redeem the Life Card."

Xiao Xian looked forward to asking questions.

Chen Lin looked at the other person as if he were an idiot.

The demon race is the demon race; even if they reach the Eternal Realm, their intelligence is still not high.

"That's it."

Xiao Xian himself also felt it was unlikely.

I've calmed down a bit.

He took a breath and asked, "Does Your Excellency have any extra fishing treasure chest tools? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy them."

"No."

Chen Lin shook his head.

Whether it was the black-feathered figure, the sword-wielding man, or the crimson-robed youth, they were all completely devoured by the ghost face, leaving nothing behind.

He also regretted this.

If we could find the belongings of these three people, it would be a fortune, perhaps enough to collect enough coins to board the ferry.

Xiao Xian's expression froze upon hearing this.

He immediately asked, "Does the master know the classification of treasure chests? Are they all as dangerous as that ghost face? Has anyone successfully fished for them? How can one succeed?"

I can answer this question for free.

Chen Lin displayed a friendly demeanor.

"There are definitely people who have successfully fished, but I haven't seen them and can't describe it to you. As for the level of danger, don't worry, it's definitely not as scary as the ghost box, otherwise no one would dare to fish."

He was telling the truth.

The ticket to the Ferry of Life is a reward; the benefits of boarding the Ferry of Life definitely outweigh the drawbacks, and the chances of encountering a ghost box are not high.

"Didn't anyone see anyone fish for a treasure chest, sir?"

Xiao continued to ask questions.

"No."

Chen Lin answered immediately.

He then added, "I'll only answer one question for free. If you ask any more questions, you'll have to pay me. Think carefully before you ask."

Done.

He walked to the bow of the ship and looked out at the distant sea.

At the same time, communicate with the Sun-Eating Earthworm.

What abilities do you have right now?

His son had absorbed his solar fire for over a hundred years, yet he showed no change whatsoever, which greatly worried the old father.

"I'm not grown up yet; I need to grow up before I have the ability."

The earthworm that swallowed the sun looked aggrieved.

Just as Chen Lin was filled with disappointment, it transmitted its thoughts again: "However, I have a talent mark on my body. As long as I absorb enough solar power, it will be able to manifest. At that time, I can launch the Sun-Shooting Arrow. It seems... it should be... quite powerful."

Chen Lin was speechless.

The little guy himself wasn't confident, so he probably didn't think it would be very powerful.

But it's better than nothing.

Moreover, as the other party grows, it will definitely become a powerful demon, otherwise Jin Sanyuan would not covet it.

This is all thanks to the Formless Coexistence Secret Seal; otherwise, we wouldn't know the other party's situation and might have betrayed them at any time.

Upon thinking of this, Chen Lin was taken aback.

"wrong."

"The Secret Seal of Coexistence Without Form?"

"How did I obtain this secret technique? Why do I have no recollection of it at all?"

Chen Lin frowned deeply.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out the origin of this secret technique; it seemed as if he had obtained it out of thin air.

"It shouldn't be!"

He muttered to himself.

If it were a low-level technique like Fireball, he might forget his origins, but this secret technique is effective even on the Sun-Devouring Earthworm, so it must be at least at the Dominator level. He would never forget it.

The more Chen Lin thought about it, the deeper his brows furrowed.

Learning a high-level secret technique out of nowhere is not a good thing; he will not feel at ease until he finds out the truth.

suddenly.

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat, and a look of sudden realization crossed his face.

Life’s treasure chest!

He thought of the function of the Life Treasure Chest: those who have a second life can switch identities at will, and all information about the previous identity will disappear after changing identities.

That makes it clear.

He acquired this secret technique on the ship, and the person who passed it on to him fished up a treasure chest and completed the mission to switch to a second identity.

Therefore, the other person has been erased from his life.

After thinking about it.

Chen Lin's expression became inexplicable.

He looked at Xiao Xian.

He asked in a deep voice, "Do you remember who was on board after you boarded?"

Xiao Xian looked puzzled.

But he still answered, "There was that white-haired old man, a woman in a black dress, a young man in a robe, and a man with black wings."

"Is there no one else? Think about it again."

"That's all, that's all. I'm sure I'm not mistaken."

Xiao Xian gave a definite answer.

Chen Lin didn't ask any more questions.

The other person boarded the ship later, and the person who passed on the secret technique to him may have already left before the other person boarded the ship.

After all, he only remembered that he had recently acquired this secret technique, but the exact time was vague. He couldn't be sure whether he had obtained it on this ferry or in the real world.

Chen Lin quickly calmed down.

The wonders of the treasure chest of life are beyond the comprehension of cultivators of his level, nor do they possess the ability to break through the rules.

Fortunately, he knew about the "treasure chest" in life.

Otherwise, he would definitely think that something was wrong with him and would have to try to find a solution, which would waste a lot of his energy.

Also.

The Treasure Chest Life only erased the person's traces, but did not erase anything related to that person; otherwise, he would have forgotten this secret technique.

Chen Lin gazed out at the sea.

Gradually, his gaze hardened.

We must fish for the treasure chest!

Once he gets a second life, he can break free from the cage and no longer be bound by anything.

He ignored Xiao Xian.

Place the disc face down on your hand and observe the changes in the pointer on top.

But Xiao Xian spoke again.

"Sir, do you have any extra Life Coins? Could you exchange them with me? I'm willing to pay any price!"

He was still wary of the fishing treasure chest, thinking he would collect two hundred life coins and wait for the next ferry to arrive.

"That's all. I'd like to trade some more with you."

Chen Lin answered casually.

Xiao Xian fell silent for a moment, then said, "How many Life Coins does Your Excellency need? I can trade you ten, as long as Your Excellency returns the Character Card to me."

Are you making fun of me?

Chen Lin's tone turned cold.

Xiao Xian chuckled dryly, "Sir, please don't misunderstand. I was just asking casually. If you don't want to, then forget it."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the other side.

They took out one treasure after another and began testing which one could be used for fishing.

Time passed little by little.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Lin stood at the bow of the ship with a blank expression, but a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Perhaps due to the appearance of the guide ship, not a single treasure chest has appeared in the past six months.

If things continue like this, it will be very disadvantageous for him.

He only has enough Life Coins to pay the fine for one guide ship. If the guide ship appears twice in a row, his life will be in danger.

Chen Lin looked at Xiao Xian.

The other person looked utterly hopeless.

But the other party was very persistent.

To obtain Life Coins, you must either use a character card or a fishing treasure chest tool; nothing else will be accepted.

He was also certain that he couldn't do anything to the other party while he was on the ship.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Xiao, have you thought it through? Some information I have is crucial to whether you can leave alive. If you don't make the exchange now, you won't have another chance once new people come up."

Chen Lin spoke calmly.

Xiao Xian withdrew his gaze from the sea.

Looking at Chen Lin, he said, "If you can really let me leave alive, I will give you everything I have without hesitation. However, I see that you are in a precarious situation yourself, so I'm afraid you can't help me."

Chen Lin sighed inwardly.

This guy has gotten smarter; he's not so easy to fool anymore.

The main problem is that the opponent has nothing to fish for, so he can't use his chips to observe the treasure chest, and he can't give up his character cards and life coins.

"Then just wish yourself luck."

Chen Lin stopped communicating with the other party.

Although he coveted the other party's Life Coins and Splendid Crystals, he didn't necessarily need to get them; fishing for the treasure chest was more important.

The hat-shaped boat swayed gently.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The treasure chest still didn't appear; instead, the guide came again, consuming ten of Chen Lin's life coins.

This made him nervous.

Because he had less than ten Life Coins, if the guide ships kept appearing at this time, he wouldn't be able to pay the fine.

There is always a way out.

Just as Chen Lin was considering whether to exchange his character card with Xiao Xian, a figure flashed and another new passenger boarded the ship.

Without hesitation, he moved in front of the other party and began to communicate telepathically.

Xiao was a step too slow and could only retreat in frustration.

The new passenger was a woman.

But it was neither human nor demon, but a strange creature.

The woman had very narrow eyes, her skin was covered with patterns made up of fine characters, and her hair was incredibly thick, with a small skull of a different shape at the end of each strand.

Chen Lin was very familiar with the aura emanating from him.

Similar to Nana's, even if it doesn't come from a strange country, it's still related to the strangeness there.

Xing Jun and the strange creatures are natural enemies. Chen Lin didn't have much interaction with them. After explaining the basic information and receiving four Life Coins, he ignored them.

This time he slightly exceeded the rules by asking for four Life Coins, without actually breaking any rules.

This way.

He now has eleven Life Coins, so he doesn't need to worry about not being able to pay the next ransom.

"Does this fellow Daoist possess the tools to fish for treasure chests?"

After Chen Lin left, Xiao Xian immediately walked up to the woman, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked her questions.

Chen Lin glanced at the other person.

He said calmly, "According to the passenger rules, other passengers are not allowed to trade with the guide without the guide's permission. If you want to trade with him, you need to compensate me and transfer the guide's status to you."

Actually, he didn't know if such a rule existed.

Kim Sam-won had said so before, so he did as he was told, hoping to get whatever benefits he could.

Xiao was taken aback.

He looked at Chen Lin suspiciously, trying to determine whether what he said was true or false.

In the end, I didn't dare to try it.

The tragic deaths of Black Feather and the young man in crimson robes made him extremely wary of the rules on the ship, preferring to believe they existed rather than not.

But he couldn't bear to part with his life coins.

After hesitating for a long time, he said, "What do you want? I can't give you Life Coins and Character Cards. We can just not trade."

Chen Lin smiled.

“I have enough Life Coins for now. Since you’re reluctant to part with them, use those two pieces of iridescent crystal. I don’t mind taking a loss.”

It was beyond his expectation.

Xiao Xian took out the variegated crystal almost without hesitation and handed it to him.

Then he started chatting with the woman.

Just as Chen Lin was about to say something more, his eyes suddenly flashed as he looked at the disc in his hand.

At that moment, he saw the three pointers on the disc shake simultaneously, and then suddenly start spinning rapidly, which surprised and puzzled him, as he didn't know what this meant.

He could only turn to look at the sea and channel his inner energy into the disc.

The disc trembled slightly.

then.

To Chen Lin's astonishment, the three pointers overlapped and simultaneously pointed to a certain spot!
