I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2103 Eyeball
Chen Lin picked up a piece of golden jade.

In the little mouse demon's storage pouch, besides some loose coins and personal belongings, only this item was particularly eye-catching.

It's probably what was stolen.

of course.

He didn't target the other party with the intention of killing them and stealing their treasure.

The main problem was that when the other party was trying to shift the blame, they also placed a scent mark on him, making it unclear to him what their intentions were.

He is now facing danger at every turn and cannot afford to leave any future troubles. Whatever the other party wants to do, he must nip it in the bud.

Chen Lin held the jade up to his eyes to examine it.

However, apart from its unusual color, nothing particularly special was found.

The jade piece was square, measuring three inches in both length and width, somewhat similar to the token he had obtained to enter the Four Directions City, but it lacked any energy fluctuations.

I watched for a while.

Chen Lin put the gold and jade aside and began to examine the other items.

No abnormalities were found.

He found a place with thick weeds, dug a large pit, threw in the things he didn't need and the tree demon's corpse, poured in a special poison for destroying evidence, and then covered it up.

Thus.

Even if those wolf demons search this place, they won't sense anything, so as not to bring trouble upon themselves.

Processed.

Chen Lin flew away from the spot.

However, instead of rushing back to the city, he fled dozens of miles away, found a secluded cave, and took out the gold and jade again.

The rat demon had nothing else on it, so this jade must have been stolen. The three wolf demons all had an aura of level five or higher and were able to keep up with it, so this item must be extraordinary.

Chen Lin has extensive experience in deciphering treasures.

He was only worried that the activation of the treasure would cause strong anomalies, attracting wolf demons and powerful figures in the city, which was why he ran so far.

They inspected the cave.

Chen Lin sealed the entrance to the cave, went to the deepest part, and began to conduct the experiment.

The first is energy-driven.

Try it first using your own bloodline energy.

After such a long time of understanding this world, Chen Lin has figured out the origin of his own energy. It belongs to the innate bloodline source, which is not unique to him, but also to any extraordinary race.

But they are all different.

Each race possesses a unique bloodline power, with its own derivative abilities. While they may seem similar to the demon races in the cultivation world, they are actually quite different.

In the cultivation world, demons can practice cultivation techniques and comprehend supernatural powers and spells, and are no different from normal cultivators.

For example, climbing the steps of a building.

The opponent is a mole cricket in human form, but can comprehend any time-related spells and can also cultivate other supernatural abilities. He can use various treasures without restriction.

But that won't work here.

Each race can only improve by exploring its own bloodline.

Unable to draw upon the vital energy of heaven and earth through cultivation techniques, and even less able to cultivate spells beyond their bloodline inheritance—at least this is true for the demon race, and it seems the same applies to the monster race.
As for the situation with ghosts and monsters, he didn't know much about it.

While pondering, Chen Lin's hands didn't stop, continuously injecting the essence of his bloodline into the golden jade.

But it had no effect.

Jin Yuzhen was just like ordinary jade, and it was impossible to infuse her bloodline power into it.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin took out three items.

A small white bottle, a patterned black scale, and a red stone the size of an egg.

Pick up the small bottle first.

After opening, drip the milky white liquid inside onto the gold and jade.

This is spiritual milk.

It is a pure essence of heaven and earth, similar to the spiritual liquid in the cultivation world, and can quickly heal injuries.

After dripping a few drops, Chen Lin shook his head.

Spiritual milk is useless against this substance.

He put the bottle back on and then picked up the black scales.

These are not scales of demons, but rather demonic scales unique to the demon race, capable of releasing the aura of demons.

But it still doesn't work.

Jin Yu did not react to the demonic energy.

no way.

He could only pick up the red stone and gently rub it, and the stone would burst into scorching flames, several times hotter than normal flames, and the space around the flames would distort.

Chen Lin used the tip of his knife to lift the gold and jade and placed it over a flame to heat it.

Then he noticed that the gold color of the jade was fading and it showed signs of melting, but the flames seemed too weak to melt it completely.

soon.

A piece of fire crystal burned out completely.

The gold and jade retain their original shape, only the edges are slightly smoother.

Chen Lin tried to slash at it, but failed. He immediately returned to the city, bought two high-level fire crystals, and went back to the cave.

This time it worked.

Under the burning of the high-grade fire crystal, the gold and jade melted away little by little, revealing a golden sphere inside.

This is?

Chen Lin did not dare to make any rash moves.

Although the fluctuations emanating from the sphere were subtle, they gave off an incredibly powerful feeling, as if touching it would cause it to vanish into thin air.

He peered at the eyeball from a distance.

The more I looked at it, the more I realized that this thing was not a bead, but a golden eyeball, only that the eyeball had been petrified and there was no trace of flesh or blood left.

However, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to petrify an eyeball, especially an organ of an extraordinary being.

"Could it be an ancient artifact?"

Chen Lin thought of a possibility.

This item belonged to those wolf demons, and they brought it to this city to offer it to the gods, so his guess should be correct.

This eyeball is far superior to his crystal ball.

After offering it up, there's a very high chance of getting the identity of a divine messenger. That's probably why the rat demon took the risk.

The gods only recognize treasures; they don't care who offers them, whether they're stolen or robbed.

If the offering is successful, the rat demon will be transformed into a divine messenger, and who would dare to seek revenge against it?
The analysis is pretty accurate.

Chen Lin brought the eyeball close and gently touched it with the tip of his knife. Seeing nothing unusual, he then activated his indomitable spirit, transformed, and touched it with his hand.

A strange feeling arose.

However, no danger occurred.

Chen Lin deactivated his transformation, held the eyeball in his hand, and focused on sensing the fluctuations on it.

suddenly.

His expression shifted.

The movement of his eyeballs reminded him of something.

The Scroll of the Sword of Judgment!

The fluctuations of the two are somewhat similar, except that the fluctuations of this eyeball are more subtle and give a more powerful feeling.

"It seems to be related to ancient wizards."

Chen Lin muttered softly.

The scroll of the Sword of Judgment contains witchcraft, originating from the Wizarding Realm. Since the fluctuations are similar, it must be the same type of item. Moreover, the ancient human race in this world was mainly based on the wizarding system, and most of the treasures from ancient times were 'witchcraft artifacts'.

pity.

Limited by the power of his bloodline, he could not use magical artifacts, and could only look at the best treasures he could find.

However, Chen Lin had no intention of offering it up.

He only wanted to observe the gods up close and have a clear understanding of them, but he didn't want to become a divine messenger. If this thing was presented to him and gained his favor, and he was to be granted the status of a divine messenger, that would be troublesome.

The divine messenger is to be granted divinity, at which point the Red Ape's true identity will inevitably be exposed.

Thinking of divinity.

Chen Lin then thought of something else. When he killed the hedgehog demon, an energy from its blood mist invaded his body. Although the process was painful and almost caused his body to collapse, the final refinement of the energy slightly enhanced his bloodline essence.

However, killing ordinary monsters does not have this effect.

This made him wonder if the advancement mentioned in the Divine Art of Creation in battle required killing gods or beings with divine energy.

if it is like this.

The destruction of the Red Ape Clan was entirely justified.

of course.

This is just Chen Lin's deduction.

He had never killed a powerful demon, nor had he killed any demons or monsters, so he couldn't be sure if the blood essence of a powerful demon was useful.

Think no more.

Chen Lin put his eyes away.

After thinking for a moment, he took it out again, found a gap in the rock wall, and stuffed the eyeball inside.

He wasn't sure if the jade that sealed the eyeballs was originally there, or if it was the work of the wolf demon or the rat demon.

if the latter one.

The purpose of sealing the jade was to conceal the energy fluctuations of the eyeball. Now that the jade has melted, it would be easy to be discovered if he carried it on his person.

In particular, he also had to attend a divine banquet.

If the gods discover this, they'll punish him for hiding treasure; he shouldn't be asking for trouble.

Chen Lin wasn't heartbroken about losing a useless treasure. After simply hiding it, he left the cave and returned to the city.

There were no further incidents.

After the banquet began, Chen Lin followed the crowd into a tall building, verified his identity with his invitation, and was led to a huge long table.

However, his position was very far back, which showed that he was not valued.

But it was exactly what Chen Lin wanted.

He wished he could stay further back so he could secretly observe the gods and see if he could find their weakness.

People took their seats one after another.

Chen Lin looked around and his gaze lingered on a handsome man. This man had a faint demonic aura about him, so he should be a demon.

The continent he was on was the territory of the demon race, so it was quite rare for demons to appear here.

The fact that the other party was able to attend the divine banquet indicates that they are also a submitter. It seems that what Long Xingzhou said was true: there is no pure land in the world now, and all living beings live in the shadow of the Heavenly Palace.

"A celestial being has arrived!"

A man who had fully transformed into human form spoke.

Suddenly.

All the demons present stood up and respectfully bowed towards the entrance.

"Greetings, God!"

Amidst the worship of the demons, a young man in white robes with black markings slowly walked in, exuding an air of detachment from worldly affairs in every gesture.

"Everyone, take a seat."

The young man's voice was indifferent, as if he was unwilling to talk to these demons.

All the demons returned to their seats.

Chen Lin glanced at it and immediately understood.

"What kind of god is he? He's just a cultivator of the Divine Path, and his cultivation level isn't even at the Void Realm."

He sighed again.

This is what they call a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.

If he were truly here, a minor cultivator like him could disappear with a flick of his finger, but now he has to grovel and not even dare to breathe loudly.

However, it seems that the cultivators of the divine path have not heard of any weaknesses, so the cultivation methods of this Heavenly God Palace may have some flaws.

While pondering, Chen Lin observed.

However, the location of the weak point cannot be determined by the naked eye alone.

He didn't dare look any longer.

Everyone else had their eyes downcast, but he stood out staring intently at the other person.

"Bring forth your treasures, don't waste time."

The young man in white said casually.

The divine messenger beside him waved his hand, and several beautiful female demons immediately stepped forward and placed items on the table, all of which had been offered before, including Chen Lin's crystal ball.

"Unqualified."

The young man in white glanced at it and his face showed disappointment.

The divine messenger beside him trembled and hurriedly ordered his men to take the items away again.

Then, addressing the guests at the banquet, he loudly proclaimed: "Those who wish to present treasures, please step forward one by one to display them. Anyone who hides treasures and refuses to bring them out has no reason to live."

The demons fell silent, trembling with fear.

Upon seeing this, the divine messenger changed the subject.

"It is already an immense blessing that the gods have come to see you. Moreover, the gods have said that as long as the treasures you offer are selected, you will receive a Longevity Elixir. If the treasures are of a high enough grade, you will be accepted as divine messengers by the gods and granted divine radiance!"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed upon hearing this.

The divine pill bestowed as a reward actually increases lifespan; if possible, I should try to get my hands on one.

Although it has been deduced that the Heavenly Palace came to find treasure and will leave at any time, there is still a possibility that they will not find it for hundreds of years, so it is necessary to extend one's lifespan.

But you don't need to get it here.

As long as someone can obtain it, it's the same as trading it from the winner after the Divine Feast ends.

While thinking.

Some people have already stood up and stepped forward to display their treasures.

Chen Lin looked over.

This was a fully transformed demon, appearing as a middle-aged man. Its specific race was unclear. It took out a staff that exuded an ancient aura, likely an ancient artifact left behind by the gods.

"Pity."

The young man in white glanced at the staff and said.

The middle-aged man looked disappointed, but dared not say anything. He silently put away his staff and retreated to his position.

Immediately, another white-haired female demon stood up.

The female demon had seven tails, all as white as jade, and she walked gracefully forward.

What she presented was a rolled-up animal hide, grayish-white in color, covered with densely packed characters.

"what?"

The young celestial being let out a soft exclamation.

He reached out and picked up the animal hide, unfolded it, and glanced at it.

He nodded and said, "Not bad, it is actually an ancient shaman's sacrificial method, and it is relatively well preserved. You have passed."

After saying that, the animal hide disappeared into thin air from his hand.

At this moment, Chen Lin noticed that the other person was wearing a white ring on their finger, which was probably a storage device, and the animal hide was stored in the ring.

His heart sank slightly.

The ability to use storage devices raises the difficulty of defeating these gods to another level. Even the smallest storage ring, only a few feet square, can hold many treasures that can be freely accessed during battle.

He could only rely on brute force.

However, the existence of this storage ring allowed Chen Lin to roughly guess the opponent's weakness.

Because the other person was wearing a silver wristband on their left wrist, but no other protective gear, if they didn't have a storage ring, it could be said that they wore it on their wrist beforehand for convenience.

However, with a storage ring, the treasure can be stored and put away at will, so there is no need to wear it at all times.

These wristbands are very thick and inconvenient to wear.

Besides, the location isn't vital, so there's no need to pay so much attention to it. But the other party did it anyway, so it's highly likely that it's their Achilles' heel.

of course.

Perhaps he guessed wrong; the wristband may have another purpose.

Chen Lin continued to observe.

Soon.

Most of the demons offered their treasures, but to Chen Lin's surprise, apart from the seven-tailed fox demon, none of the treasures caught the eye of the young god.

This further confirms his deduction.

These gods have come in search of a certain treasure!
