I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2143 Continuous Harvest
After surveying all the passengers, Chen Lin did not find anyone he knew.

However, a small number of people used the Phantom Mask, and it's hard to be sure whether they knew each other or not. We can only pretend we don't know them and let the transactions proceed.

We cannot give up the opportunity because of this.

Moreover, he disguised himself in the real world. Unless a powerful person familiar with him senses his aura at close range, it is not an easy thing to determine his identity based on his appearance.

During the inspection.

Someone at the long table where Chen Lin was sitting spoke up.

"Everyone, I am currently missing a Three-Eyebrow Four-Eye Flower. If anyone is willing to give it up, I can offer ten Life Coins."

The speaker was an old man with long ears.

The ears are over a foot long, and each ear has a string of bells hanging from the top, giving it a very abstract feel.

However, Chen Lin was already used to these things.

There are far more bizarre creatures in the Nightmare Realm than this; this one is nothing compared to them. In fact, in the other party's eyes, he is the odd one out.

Waited for a while.

A passenger wearing a phantom mask took out a bag.

He raised his hand and threw it in front of the long-eared old man.

"I happen to have one here. I'll let you have it since you'll get two bottles of fine wine."

Chen Lin watched intently.

The bag was swollen and bulging inside, like a living thing, seemingly unrelated to any rare or precious treasures.

However, it is impossible to determine.

It's normal for exotic plants from higher dimensions to have the ability to 'move,' which will broaden his horizons.

pity.

The long-eared old man didn't open the bag to inspect the goods; he simply threw out ten coins and put the bag away.

Chen Lin immediately transmitted his voice to Mingzhu.

Are there any rules here prohibiting deception in transactions?

"Yes Master."

Mingzhu answered immediately.

He then explained, "If the items presented do not match what was said, double compensation will be required after the transaction is completed, and corresponding points penalties will be imposed. In severe cases, the star-level passenger status will be revoked. Master, please do not violate the rules."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

At this time.

The man in the tuxedo, seated at the head of the table, waved his hand gently.

A snow-white carrier pigeon flew out and landed above Chen Lin's table. It transformed into a wine pot and filled the wine glasses of both parties in the transaction.

It then transformed into a dove, flew back into the tuxedo-wearing man's hand, and disappeared.

The long-eared old man and another passenger raised their glasses and gestured towards the man in the tuxedo.

They drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine!"

The two exclaimed in surprise, savoring the moment for more than a dozen breaths before exhaling a heavy breath of alcohol.

The aroma of wine immediately filled the air.

Even the energy in the air became much more active, and Chen Lin felt that his bloodline essence was slightly purified under the influence of the active energy.

This shocked him.

If even the breath of alcohol has such an effect, wouldn't drinking a cup of it greatly improve his Red Ape cultivation level?

That tuxedo is so elegant?

Not just Chen Lin.

This made the other passengers at the table look on with envy.

"Could you two appreciate the subtleties of this wine?"

The long-eared old man and the masked man exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

This is a question that cannot be answered carelessly.

You need to be able to name the beverage, its origin, and its function.

Although the tuxedo didn't mention any punishment for answering incorrectly, talking nonsense would still leave a bad impression on the other party.

"What a shame!"

The man in the tuxedo sighed and fell silent.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin immediately spoke up.

"I need either Splendid Crystal or Dazzling Liquid Crystal. I can exchange them with Life Coins and Character Cards. If you have any other treasure requests, you can also make them."

It's better to trade treasures sooner rather than later.

Especially for scarce items, if you're a step too slow, someone else might buy them. And now there's a reward of fine wine, so as long as the conditions are similar, you can make the deal happen.

There was silence.

Chen Lin's heart sank.

It seems that even among these star-level passengers, variegated crystals are quite rare.

At this time.

Mingzhu's voice suddenly appeared in Chen Lin's mind.

"There's something I forgot to remind you, Master. In each gathering, there's only one chance to fail in a transaction. If you want to make another transaction after failing, you'll need to pay ten points."

Chen Lin was speechless.

This girl is really oblivious; she only just revealed such important information.

But it didn't have any impact.

Even if he only had one chance, he would choose to trade for the iridescent crystal; nothing was more important to him than this.

"What if the transaction succeeds?"

Chen Lin asked telepathically.

"Success remains unaffected; you can continue for free."

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Lin looked around and added, "I can provide information on six kinds of aids for soul-unlocking. If anyone is interested, they can also be used as bargaining chips in the transaction."

"Six items for dispelling the soul?"

The figure at the very front let out a surprised sound, but it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

Chen Lin looked over.

His eyes involuntarily flickered.

The other party was also wearing a phantom mask, and their original appearance was very blurry. Now, whether it was because they spoke or because they deliberately revealed it, a badge on their body was exposed.

"This is a symbol of status for two-star passengers."

Mingzhu's voice appeared at the opportune moment.

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

No wonder he revealed it; it was to show his identity. And it certainly worked, greatly increasing his anticipation.

He immediately replied, "Absolutely six types, and it's a set, each used for different stages. If you need them, don't miss out, as I might not be able to attend the next gathering."

"hehe."

The figure chuckled softly.

He nodded and took out a dazzling crystal.

He placed it on the table and said, "If what you say is true, it is indeed worth a piece of variegated crystal. Have the maid pass the information on to me."

Chen Lin, however, did not move.

Instead, he continued, "I would like to ask you to guarantee that this information can only be used by you and must not be disseminated in any form. Otherwise, you will not be able to buy this piece of variegated crystal."

"can."

The figure gave an indifferent reply.

He added a clause: "However, there is a prerequisite: if the treasures you provide overlap with what I already know, this rule does not apply."

Chen Lin silently urged himself to be cautious.

They readily agreed.

He took out a jade slip, entered the information into it, and had Mingzhu hand it over to the other party.

The figure accepted the jade slip.

After probing with his divine sense, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Looking at Chen Lin again, he asked, "Are you sure the second item matches the information you provided?"

"More than 90%"

Chen Lin did not make any guarantees.

The second item was the Cui Xuan Butterfly. Adaya hadn't confirmed its authenticity, and he dared not give any guarantee, as he would be punished if anything went wrong.

"That's really unexpected."

The figure muttered something, then with a flick of its two fingers, the jade slip turned to dust.

Then he handed the variegated stone to Mingzhu.

Mingzhu returned happily and placed the pearl in Chen Lin's hands.

He even sent a telepathic message of praise.

"Master is amazing!"

Chen Lin's lips twitched.

The other party is making up for the oversight just now. It is estimated that as a maid, there are also rules to follow. If he asks to change the maid, the other party will be punished.

He nodded slightly to reassure the other person.

Then put the variegated crystal away.

With this crystal, he had much more options. He could use his real body to find Daisy, and in an emergency, he could use the ferry's points. He was quite pleased with himself.

The man in the tuxedo released a carrier pigeon, which transformed into a wine jug and filled the two men's glasses with wine.

In the short time that followed, many people at other tables had already received the wine as a reward, but they were too far away for Chen Lin to observe.

Looking at the wine in his glass now, he knew that the wine the tuxedo-wearing man brought out each time was different; the color, aroma, and viscosity were all quite different from before.

This made him a little disappointed.

The drink that the long-eared old man drank could stimulate his bloodline power, which was quite useful to him.

This new variety may not be usable.

But Chen Lin wouldn't be foolish enough to suggest a change. He could only raise his glass to the tuxedo-clad man in respect before downing it in one gulp.

"Good wine!"

As the liquor enters the throat, an extremely violent sensation fills the entire body, followed by an instant feeling of unparalleled comfort, placing the person in two extremes and amplifying the senses to an extreme.

pity.

This wine is meant for the soul; using it on this body would be a waste.

"So it's Soul-Splitting Wine. Second Vice Admiral truly lives up to his title of King of Wine, possessing even the treasures of the ancient Shadow Soul Clan. This is a rare and exquisite brew. We made the right choice coming to this gathering today."

Chen Lin was still savoring the moment when the figure on the other side announced the name of the wine.

“Good insight!”

The man in the tuxedo loudly praised.

Then a carrier pigeon flew out from the sleeve, transformed back into a wine pot, and poured a cup for the figure.

He gestured for her to try it, saying, "Try this one more time."

The figure didn't hold back either.

He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

He shook his head after a long while.

He gave a wry smile and said, "My knowledge is still too shallow. I'm sorry to have made the Second Mate laugh at me. I really couldn't appreciate this."

I was a little disappointed with the tuxedo.

He didn't say anything more, and turned his gaze to the other tables.

The transaction continues.

"I'm willing to exchange ten Life Coins for the Great Seven-Hole Guanshan Vine, or any other treasures."

A plump woman standing next to Chen Lin spoke up.

But no one responded.

"If ten Life Coins aren't enough, we can discuss it further. Besides that, I also have Radiant Crystals, which can be used for exchange."

The overweight woman began placing bets.

But still no one responded, and many people looked blank, having never heard of this treasure before.

Chen Lin was one of them.

He really wanted the Radiant Crystal. The other party must have mentioned this treasure to him, but unfortunately, he couldn't produce what the other party needed.

Ten breaths passed.

The plump woman sighed, her eyes filled with disappointment.

This means the transaction has failed. If she wants to initiate another transaction, she will have to pay ten points.

Even passive trading is not allowed.

Even if someone offers her what she needs, she can only watch helplessly; if she wants it, she'll have to spend extra points.

After all, the main purpose of the ferry of life is to help people complete their life's tasks, not to provide a free trading venue.

Chen Lin didn't dare to bring up the deal again.

After waiting for a while, he found that he could not meet the trading conditions proposed by the others, so he looked at Mingzhu and asked, "Can we switch tables to trade?"

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Lin immediately stood up to observe, and then walked to the empty seat at the next table.

"Does fellow Daoist still need the variegated crystal?"

Just as I sat down, a childish voice rang out next to me.

Chen Lin was taken aback.

He nodded and said, "Indeed, it is necessary. What kind of transaction would you like to use?"

At the same time, observe closely.

It was discovered that the other person was also using a phantom mask, making it impossible to see their appearance. However, the fact that they could purchase the phantom mask with points indicated that they were willing to spend money and were probably quite wealthy.

“Use the information about the soul-unlocking item you just mentioned.”

The childish voice rang out again.

"can."

Chen Lin immediately agreed.

He thought to himself that good things come in pairs and that his luck had turned around. He had actually obtained two pieces of iridescent crystals here, but only at the cost of some information.

It's like getting it for free.

And through this gathering, he also understood.

While variegated crystals are precious, their value doesn't seem so exaggerated in a higher-dimensional world.

In this case.

Once you get back, don't worry too much about the Heavenly Capital Gem House; just focus on helping Adaya win the Firefly Jade.

"Don't worry."

The young figure looked at Chen Lin.

"I have one more condition; you must agree to it before we can make the deal."

"What conditions?"

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You need to guarantee that after this information is sold to me, it will not be sold to anyone else at this gathering."

"Is it just this gathering?"

"Correct."

The young figure nodded.

This condition left Chen Lin somewhat puzzled.

The gathering only takes place once every hundred years. For cultivators like them, such a short time is practically a period of seclusion. What's the point of restricting it?
Even if the other party has enemies here, they can come back another time.

But whatever the other party's purpose is, it has nothing to do with him; getting another piece of variegated crystal is enough.

"make a deal!"

Chen Lin made the final decision.

Fearing the other party might change their mind, he immediately took out a jade slip, entered the information, and had Mingzhu deliver it.

They also imposed the same restrictions as those on the two-star passengers.

"This thing can actually help with soul extraction?"

After reading the jade slip, the young figure also raised a surprised question.

There was a pause.

He then answered himself, "That's quite possible, not bad, not bad."

After saying that, he crushed the jade slip.

Take out a piece of colorful crystal and have Mingzhu take it back.

Looking at Chen Lin, he said, "You should know what I suspect. Let me give you a heads-up: this thing isn't scarce. If you don't have it, you can get it through other channels. Don't bring it up here, or the information will be leaked."

"Thank you for reminding."

Chen Lin played with the variegated crystal, responding with a smile on his face.

Adaya had already promised him the Cui Xuan Butterfly, and hadn't originally intended to collect it here. Even if she had, she would have mixed it in with other information so that no one would notice.

The carrier pigeons reappeared.

The wine glass in front of him was filled to the brim. After drinking it, Chen Lin smacked his lips and couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

The taste and feel are somewhat similar to the Drunken God's Brew.

Moreover, the effects of the alcohol directly weakened the vitality of the divine flower in his mind, making it listless.

It took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea for the effects of the alcohol to be completely worn off.

The divine flower regained its vitality and became even more vibrant.

"Could this be the Drunken God's Brew?"

Chen Lin tried to name the drinks.

Seeing the man in the tuxedo looking over, he explained, "It works for practitioners who follow the path of God, as it can numb the divine and alleviate mental confusion."

"You got part of it right."

The man in the tuxedo hesitated for a moment.

He still smiled and said, "This is your first time attending a party, right? Well then, if you're right, take another look at this."

After saying that, he released a carrier pigeon and poured Chen Lin a cup.

After finishing the drink, Chen Lin felt as if something had changed about him, but there was no real change in his expression, so he could only sigh and cup his hands in greeting.

"Your wines are all rare treasures, but my knowledge is limited, and I have failed to appreciate your kindness."

"It doesn't matter."

The man in the tuxedo still wore a smile.

He said meaningfully, "After all, it's our first meeting, so I should treat you with some special consideration. Consider this my gift to you. Of course, I hope you won't need it."
