I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

"I have nothing left to eat; I've finished everything."

Surrounded by so many people, Chen Lin did not panic. He quickly chewed a few times, finished the rest of the fruit, reached out and pulled out the short knife that was under his body, and struggled to stand up from the ground.

"You old bastard, you actually hid weapons?"

The man was somewhat surprised and took a step back, the short knife in his hand emitting a faint red light.

Chen Lin glanced at the other person's short knife.

Take a step back as well.

As soon as he made that move, the crowd surrounding him also retreated, all of them extremely vigilant.

"Dad, these people are very strong!"

Tie Zhu suddenly spoke up.

He then added, "They're not very strong, but they must possess a special power that can pose a threat to us. We must not be careless."

"I see."

Chen Lin raised the black knife in his hand, coldly looking at everyone, and then activated his soul power, causing the patterns on the knife to emit a fluorescent glow.

This sword is a soul weapon, a trophy obtained when he killed the people of the Heavenly God Palace. He guessed that his energy might be suppressed when entering the life mission, so he prepared a lot of treasures in advance.

"Old man, you've been hiding your true strength well. You're actually a master of the Mang Realm. Too bad it's useless. If you don't hand over the food today, even if I agree, no one else will!"

The man glanced at the bulging package on Chen Lin's body and began to incite the surrounding crowd.

However, he was answered by a faint light.

There was no room for hesitation in this situation, so Chen Lin immediately launched an attack.

First came the Soul-Destroying Finger.

Then, the black knife left his hand and was used as a flying sword, transforming into a length of over ten feet in mid-air, slashing down with boundless killing intent.

Not finished yet.

Chen Lin borrowed Tie Zhu's flame ability and summoned a wisp of his own Solar True Fire to form a firebird, which then pounced on the man.

Chen Lin's fighting motto is to go all out from the start, especially when he doesn't know the strength of his enemy, he will never hold back.

The light of the Soul-Destroying Finger was very well concealed in the darkness, and before the man could notice it, he was struck.

To Chen Lin's dismay, the other party did not seem to have suffered much harm.

This is not only because his soul is limited, but the other party's soul level must also be very high, or there must be other special characteristics.

Black Knife also failed to achieve his goal.

Just as the blade flashed, the opponent's short sword burst forth with a burst of red light, flicking upwards and knocking the black sword away.

"Hmph, all show and no substance!"

Seeing that he had easily broken Chen Lin's method, the man felt that Chen Lin was nothing special. He sneered and slashed at the flying firebird with his sword.

"what!"

Then came a scream.

The man and his sword were engulfed by the firebird, their bodies instantly burned to ashes, and the short sword clattered to the ground.

"Who's coming!"

Chen Lin rolled his cloudy eyes and glanced indifferently at the others.

The group looked at each other, but in the end, no one dared to step forward, and they gradually retreated.

But no one left.

Everyone continued to lie down or sit as if nothing had happened and was not worried about Chen Lin's retaliation.

Chen Lin frowned.

There is only one explanation for this situation: it is more dangerous to leave the group.

However, he did not inherit the body's original owner's memories, did not know what danger was, and could not leave alone.

I didn’t think much more about it.

Chen Lin stepped forward and picked up the man's dagger.

After fiddling through the ashes for a while and finding nothing, he retrieved his black knife, then walked to the edge of the crowd, sat down on the ground, and continued to examine his condition.

I tried the short knife first.

Unable to be activated.

This knife is undoubtedly an extraordinary weapon, but it doesn't match the soul power and doesn't react to the power of fire.

Chen Lin estimated that it should be activated by the energy of this realm. He also had this kind of energy in his body, but he didn't know how to use it.

This is the drawback of not having the original owner's memories.

When Lin Ergou was on his mission, although his memories were vague, he still had some, which helped him quickly adapt to the environment. Now, he has none of those memories, making the start much more difficult.

With both knives slung diagonally across his waist, Chen Lin took out a smaller fruit and stuffed it all into his mouth.

His injuries had worsened again from the fight, and he needed to receive treatment as soon as possible to avoid being unable to cope with any dangerous situations.

As for whether they will be besieged again.

After what just happened, no one would risk their life to fight him for a fruit or two.

Just as Chen Lin had predicted.

People in the distance saw him take out fruit to eat again, and they only glanced at it a few more times, revealing greedy looks, but no one dared to snatch it.

This put his mind at ease.

If everyone swarms him, he won't be able to resist and will have no choice but to run away.

Having just killed that man with the short sword, he had already used up a good portion of his soul power, and Tie Zhu's fire power had also been significantly depleted.

In this unknown place, we absolutely cannot let our energy run out.

Safe for now.

While recovering, Chen Lin continued to examine his condition, experimenting with various methods to see if any usable techniques had been overlooked.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Chen Lin showed a look of surprise, and then he entered a strange state.

He had lost all his extraordinary aura and seemed to have become a complete mortal, yet he also possessed a certain artistic conception that was completely different from that of ordinary people.

The Realm of Spirit Empowerment!

Chen Lin felt overjoyed as he assessed his condition.

Since he could actually use the Spirit Empowerment Realm, he had gained another trump card for survival. Moreover, after this divine power was upgraded, it could be used for a long time, so there was no problem with prolonged battles.

In high spirits, Chen Lin continued his examination.

If one can enter the realm of spiritual empowerment, then the state of innocent heart should also be unrestricted; these are all interconnected.

Just as he expected.

After some testing, it was confirmed that the Innocent Heart state could also be used without any impact.

In addition, there is the intimidating power of the Soul Master.

It can also be used.

However, the creatures here are of a very high level, so the deterrent effect is only so-so. He used it when fighting the man with the short sword, but he didn't see any obvious effect.

a long time.

Chen Lin shifted his attention to the outside world.

Soul power, the flame power of the iron pillar, the realm of spirit empowerment.

With these three trump cards, we should be able to protect ourselves for now. The next step is to figure out the situation in this world, find Hua Yi, and then formulate a survival plan for the future.

The only task in life is to live.

Time here is frozen relative to the outside world, so it doesn't matter how long you spend here. Just find a safe place to hide and cultivate, and then wait for the light to appear.

Put away distracting thoughts.

Chen Lin pulled a tattered cloth bag from behind him.

These belonged to the original owner of the body; they were light and flimsy, not like any valuable items.

The cloth bag was full of holes. Inside, there was a broken bowl and a gourd with a hole at the bottom plugged with a piece of wood.

Shake.

There was some liquid inside. Chen Lin opened it, and a foul odor immediately wafted out.

It's neither wine nor elixir, just spoiled water.

Chen Lin lost interest.

He casually tossed the gourd to the ground, rummaged through the contents of the cloth bag, and picked out a manual.

"Eight Directions Heaven-Questioning Finger!"

Five large characters on the cover of the manual caught his eye. Chen Lin's expression shifted.

Such an imposing name must be a high-level technique. I immediately began to look it up.

slowly.

Chen Lin frowned deeply.

This technique was indeed extraordinary, even beyond his imagination. Its profoundness was so great that even he found it extremely difficult to understand, and he could not grasp its essence in a short time.

But how did such a cultivation technique end up in the original owner's hands? Was it a treasured possession, or was it the very technique the original owner practiced?
"Uncle, do you still want this water hyacinth?"

The childish voice interrupted Chen Lin's thoughts.

He turned his head to the side.

A ragged child was looking at him, so thin he was skin and bones. In the dim light, it was hard to tell if he was male or female. His cracked little finger pointed at the gourd on the ground. His eyes showed both expectation and fear. His appearance was heartbreaking.

"The water here is spoiled; drinking it will make you sick."

Chen Lin said softly.

"Water can spoil?"

The child was stunned.

She immediately realized that this was just an excuse from Chen Lin who didn't want to give it to her. After a long silence, she mustered up her courage and said, "Uncle, I just need one bite, is one bite okay? My mother is sick and needs a bite of water to eat the divine mud."

"Divine Mud?"

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

He stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to see your mother. If she really needs medicine, I'll give you some water."

"Thank you uncle."

The child was overjoyed and immediately turned around and wobbled towards the crowd.

Here, you can have this.

Chen Lin took out a spiritual fruit that resembled an orange, peeled it, and stuffed the pulp into the child's hand.

The child looked at Chen Lin in disbelief, swallowed hard, and then handed the fruit back to Chen Lin.

She said weakly, "I only need some water. Uncle, you can have the fruit. I have no intention of having any fruit. My mother is also very ugly."

"Ugly?"

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

Just as I was about to say something, a disheveled woman came running over, her lifeless eyes fixed on the orange pulp.

He spoke weakly and listlessly.

"Yan Beixuan, give me the fruit. I can still have children. If I survive, I will give you a son."

Chen Lin's lips twitched.

The original owner of my body seems to be a person with a story.

"Yan Beixuan, that's a cool name. Could he be the protagonist of this world?"

Tie Zhu's voice appeared in his mind.

Chen Lin exchanged a speechless conversation with the other party, "Have you ever seen a protagonist who gets this old and then dies without anyone noticing?"

"Not always."

Tie Zhu immediately retorted.

"Didn't Dad say that when you first transmigrated, you were an old man, but you still became the protagonist of the other world? So, the probability of an old man becoming the protagonist is very high."

Mention this.

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

The state of this body is really similar to his back then. I wonder if that's why he received this mission, or perhaps this body is also one of his other selves.

But whatever it is, the task must be completed first.

As the child entered the crowd, people on both sides quickly moved aside, fearing that Chen Lin would attack them.

Chen Lin frowned.

No one knows what happened here that caused these people to have no trust in each other, yet they were forced to gather in one place.

There's another thing that's also strange.

These people, who looked like refugees, actually all possessed extraordinary energy.

Even the child in front of them was no exception.

He could clearly sense the other party's energy fluctuations, which were basically similar to the unknown energy within his own body.

Even those with extraordinary energy still need to eat and drink, get sick, and get tired, just like ordinary mortals.

While thinking.

Chen Lin went to the child's mother's side.

She was a woman so thin she was almost unrecognizable, but judging from her skeletal structure, if she were to recover, she wouldn't be considered beautiful, but she certainly wouldn't be ugly.

The child wasn't lying.

She really only wanted a sip of water and had no other purpose, especially fearing that he might be thinking about the other person's mother.

Judging from everyone's reactions, the original owner of this body was probably a lustful fiend, or someone obsessed with having children.

However, it was not mentioned in the letter.

I don't know if it's because what I show and what I feel are not consistent, or if I don't have enough life currency to write down too much about the tasks.

"Give me the divine mud."

After observing her for a while, Chen Lin found that the woman's life force had dissipated and she was in a dying state. Unless there was a miraculous medicine to bring her back to life, she had virtually no chance of survival.

"it's here."

The child immediately pulled out a small box from his pocket. It was only an inch in size, flat and round, and looked like it was made of some kind of wood.

He glanced around warily.

Pairs of greedy eyes stared at him, like a pack of wolves waiting for their chance to hunt down their prey.

"Here you go, Uncle."

The child felt uneasy under Chen Lin's gaze and quickly handed the box over.

He immediately looked uneasy.

Worried that Chen Lin would take the divine mud for himself, yet not daring to say anything, he twisted his fingers together, anxiously awaiting Chen Lin's verdict.

Chen Lin remained expressionless.

He glanced around to intimidate the greedy eyes before opening the box.

Then I was stunned.

Inside the box was a peanut-sized, dark-colored object that emitted an unpleasant odor, resembling the grime rubbed off by a manual laborer.

"Where did you get this divine mud?"

Chen Lin asked.

At the same time, I picked up the sacred mud with two fingers and tried to sense it, but I didn't detect anything special about it.

"I got this when I prayed at the temple. It's all I have. Uncle, could you feed it to my mother? My mother's mouth is very dry, and so is mine. We don't have any saliva left. We need a sip of water."

The child answered immediately.

"That's it."

Chen Lin nodded.

He knew that the other party's reason for asking him for water was not entirely to eat the divine mud, but more importantly, to use his power to intimidate the greedy people around them.

Otherwise, a child would be snatched away before he could even put the sacred mud into his mother's mouth.

Even if you fed it to his mother, these crazy people could just scoop it out of her stomach.

The other party is also a shrewd person; one cannot be deceived by appearances.

Even so.

Chen Lin took out a small bottle of spiritual liquid and used it to give the woman the divine mud to drink.

Then watch intently.

He was very curious about this divine mud and wanted to see how it would work. Judging from the reactions of the people around him, it seemed to be an extraordinary thing.

Just thought of this.

Chen Lin was taken aback. He saw that the skeleton woman, who had just been on the verge of death, was rapidly regaining her vitality, and her withered skin was now glowing.

Even the extraordinary aura emanating from his body began to rise steadily!
After a few breaths.

The woman's face became radiant, then her eyelids fluttered a few times before she slowly opened them. (End of Chapter)
