I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2188 Three Wishes
Chen Lin felt that even if a puppet was created, it shouldn't leave no trace after it dies.

Moreover, the red shadow monster feeds on living beings, so it is unlikely to be a simple energy entity. Perhaps its operation method was incorrect, resulting in no original crystal-like items being left behind.

Hua Qianyu was taken aback when she heard Chen Lin's question.

He immediately said urgently, "Brother Yan, you didn't get the Red Shadow Monster's rune crystal? Then hurry back and find it, lest someone else pick it up. That's a good thing; it can increase your cultivation speed and you might even get the monster's divine power inheritance!"

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

Just as he suspected, the monster did leave behind energy crystals, but he didn't get them.

But why didn't I get it?

Was it because Tie Zhu's flames were too powerful, burning the primordial crystal to ashes, or was the red shadow monster not actually dead, but escaped in a way that he hadn't noticed?
Do you think that monster is dead or not?

Chen Lin questioned Tie Zhu.

"Dead, definitely dead. Under the protagonist's fire magic, how could a little monster like him survive!"

Tie Zhu immediately gave his assurance.

Chen Lin didn't ask any more questions.

He also felt that the Red Shadow Monster couldn't possibly have survived; it was probably because all of its runes had been burned to ashes, which was why it couldn't leave behind any rune crystals.

It's still because the flames from the iron pillar are too powerful.

"No need to go back to look for it. It's just a rune crystal. Let it go."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

Hua Qianyu was taken aback again, but did not continue to persuade her.

After all, even if the rune crystal were found, it wouldn't be given to her. On the contrary, given the distance, returning the way we came might lead to some danger.

She straightened the bundle on her body.

He suggested, "Since you're not looking for treasures and don't want to stay in this valley, let's hurry up and leave. This place with such a water source might attract strange beasts, which wouldn't be easy to deal with."

"There's no rush yet."

I went to the spring, filled a pot with water, picked some edible plants, and then started looking at the map.

The map is not very comprehensive; it mainly depicts a continent and a few scattered islands in the surrounding ocean.

The land area is not marked, and there are three main countries.

These are Lingyun Kingdom, Tianwu Kingdom, and Ji Kingdom.

Besides these three, there are some small countries and many uninhabited lands that are unsuitable for habitation.

However, this is all the division of the era of light. No one knows what it is like now. After the fall of darkness, there was great chaos, and all the forces no longer exist. This map can only be used as a reference for geographical locations.

I watched for a while.

Chen Lin located the location of Yuming City and then his current location, searching for the shortest route between the two points.

"This place is off-limits."

Hua Qianyu stepped forward and pointed to a place.

"Lianyun Mountains?"

Chen Lin looked at the names marked on the map.

Then he frowned and said, "This mountain range is a necessary route, right? If we want to go around it, the closest place is Ji Kingdom on the left, but that would be almost two thousand miles longer."

Two thousand miles.

If it's placed outside, it can reach you in an instant.

Even for a Qi Refining cultivator, traveling two thousand miles on a flying magical artifact is nothing special.

But that won't work here.

He could only rely on his soul power to fly, but not only could he not sustain it for long, the world was dark, making it difficult to discern directions and slow down his speed.

We must also be constantly vigilant against danger.

Two thousand miles is a journey that would take several months to complete, and that's assuming everything goes smoothly.

"Then we'll have to take a detour."

Hua Qianyu looked solemn.

"According to our clan's records, the Lianyun Mountains were a gathering place for demons during the Light Era. After the Darkness descended, many more powerful demons mutated there. It is too dangerous to travel through there."

Chen Lin pondered for a while

He still insisted, "There's no need to take a detour. The main danger now isn't the strange beasts, but those monsters. Taking a detour might not be safe."

Hua Qianyu frowned.

But her opinion didn't count, so she could only say helplessly, "If you really have to force your way through the Lianyun Mountains, it's best not to go through the closest Tiger Roar Gorge. It would be safer to cross through the lower mountains a little further away."

Before Chen Lin could ask, she offered her own explanation.

"During the Age of Light, a Wheel Realm Beast King resided in Tiger Roar Gorge. It seems that it did not die when darkness descended, but instead underwent a transformation. No one knows what stage it has reached now."

"Okay, then we'll do it your way."

Chen Lin immediately agreed.

Even the slightest possibility that a beast that is suspected to be at the Wheel Realm should not be gambled on.

Hua Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and continued to collect food to prepare for the long journey.

Chen Lin did not move.

He wasn't worried about the food.

The Fruit Hole Heaven contained many spiritual fruits and a water source, enough for him and Hua to use for a long time.

The main issue is how to deal with monsters.

Tie Zhu's energy is dwindling with each use, so he can't rely on the other party forever; he needs to develop his own methods.

Think of this.

Chen Lin looked at Hua Yi beside him.

"How is your talent level? Is it possible to unleash it?"

The opponent's ability is to display a sapphire between their eyebrows, which can fixate on a target and turn them into a puppet. It's quite mysterious, and if we could use it, it would be a great help.

Hua shook her head shyly.

"I'm sorry to disappoint my master, but my abilities are completely unusable. I can't sense any energy at all."

"It's ok."

Chen Lin offered words of comfort.

"Once this mission is completed, you will be able to obtain higher-dimensional methods through the rewards, and you will no longer be restricted. However, you can practice the techniques of this world first to get a feel for them."

"Yes."

Hua Yi immediately agreed.

Chen Lin looked into the valley and instructed, "Go and collect some food, then call Hua Qianyu back. This temple's cultivation method is not suitable for cultivation; she should have some ordinary cultivation methods."

"No need to change it, this technique is fine."

A strange voice suddenly rang out.

Followed by.

Chen Lin's vision blurred, and a blue figure appeared beside him.

His expression changed greatly.

He immediately leaped into the air, grabbed the black blade, and instructed Tie Zhu to be ready to strike at any moment.

"Such a strong reaction, could it be that I did something out of line while I was quiet?"

The blue figure looked at Chen Lin indifferently, his eyes turning somewhat unfriendly.

"what are you up to!"

Hua Yi immediately blocked his way.

He said in a deep voice, "My master saved you and even healed your wounds. Are you going to repay kindness with enmity?"

The blue figure stood with his hands behind his back, ignoring Hua Yi's questioning, and leisurely glanced around at the surroundings, revealing a mysterious smile.

"hehe."

“This is a great place, just right for me.”

"It really is a matter of timing and fate. It seems that my approach of traversing the river of destiny was correct, and it has indeed changed my destiny."

"My life wasn't meant to end!"

He said a few nonsensical things.

He then turned his gaze to Chen Lin.

She pursed her lips and said, "How can a grown man hide behind a woman? It's so embarrassing. Come down now, I won't hit you."

Chen Lin slowly lowered his body.

He scrutinized her and said, "You actually managed to break through the treasure of the cave?"

He never expected that this blue alien would not only awaken at this time, but also be able to leave the Fruit Core Cave on its own, and the fruit core was not damaged in the slightest.

Such a method is too astonishing; even those in the Eternal Realm cannot accomplish it.

"hehe."

The blue alien chuckled again. Shaking its head, it said, "There are no rules in this world that cannot be broken. It all depends on whether the methods used are correct. A mere treasure from a grotto-heaven is no match for me."

"correct."

The blue alien looked at the bracelet on his wrist.

She shook it and said, "Did you take off my bracelet? Did you take off my mask? What do I look like?"

Chen Lin immediately shook his head.

"I did take off the bracelet, but I definitely didn't touch the mask, so I didn't see your face."

"That's a pity."

The blue alien looked regretful.

But he didn't dwell on the matter any further.

Touching the bracelet, she said, "If you can't see my face, it means we are not destined to be together. I can't stay by your side any longer. But you did save me, so I can't let you save me for nothing."

He tilted his head and thought for a moment.

He snapped his fingers and said, "How about this, I can grant you three wishes as repayment of your kindness, and from now on we will have nothing to do with each other."

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

The other person seemed mysterious and spoke with great confidence, so what they said probably wasn't a joke.

Then we should make good use of it and not waste our efforts.

"Um……"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Lin thought of a request and tentatively asked, "How about helping me raise my cultivation to the Dominator level?"

"not so good."

The blue alien's face darkened.

"I am just an ordinary cultivator, not a creator. Don't have unrealistic fantasies. I really don't know how you cultivated to your current level. You are so naive."

Chen Lin didn't care.

He was just testing the waters to determine the upper limit of the other party's abilities; it was better to say it was too high than too low.

"I ask you to dispel the darkness from this land and let light return to the world!"

Chen Lin reiterated his needs.

The blue alien rubbed his temples.

He said speechlessly, "There's no need to test me anymore. I'm really not as good as you think. Besides, isn't this your mission? If I complete it, you'll only get a very low rating at best, and you'll have wasted a life mission."

"never mind."

The blue aliens didn't let Chen Lin continue making wishes.

He said directly, "Stop testing me, I know what you need."

"First."

"I will give you a secret technique that can resist the erosion of the rules of fate."

"Didn't you want to leave the Seven Star Realm through the River of Destiny? This secret technique is most suitable for you, but whether you can master it depends on your comprehension."

"second."

"Here's another talisman that will temporarily grant you control over powerful spatial rules. This talisman will give you dominion-level spatial abilities, but it will only last for three breaths and will burn away most of your life force and energy."

"The power of this talisman will be suppressed in this mission space. You'd better save it and use it outside."

The blue alien race did not stop.

"the last one."

"I will give you three top-grade Transformation Pearls, which will allow you to be exempt from the rules of this world three times. With these, you can cultivate the Eight Desolations Heaven-Questioning Finger."

"However, I don't have many of these Transformation Pearls. I can only give you three. Giving you too many will seriously affect your mission evaluation, which will not do you any good."

Done.

The blue alien figure disappeared.

It reappeared the next moment.

This time it was more solid, and when it came out, the kernel showed obvious fluctuations.

Chen Lin immediately understood.

What appeared just now was a projection; this is the real thing.

Before he could think further, the blue alien threw over three beads.

"You can use these three beads. The other two items are in the cave. It's best not to take them out before leaving the ferry, lest you violate the ferry's rules and be deemed unable to take them out."

Explained it.

The blue alien waved his hand.

"I'm leaving, goodbye forever!"

"and many more!"

Chen Lin hurriedly called out to the other party.

He quickly asked, "Is it you that Fu Tianduo wants to arrest?"

He had suspected this for a long time, but the other party had been in a coma and he had no way to confirm it. Now he had to find out the truth.

Who is Fu Tianduo?

The man in blue looked puzzled.

Chen Lin's heart sank.

If Fu Tianduo wasn't looking for the other party, then it must be himself.

"He's from Four Seasons Manor and also an apprentice of the Fisherman of Heavenly Lake. He's in charge of controlling the entrance and exit passages to the Seven Star Realm. Are you sure he's not after you?"

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, Chen Lin continued to press for answers.

"Oh."

The blue figure gave a faint "oh".

He nodded and said, "As for Four Seasons Manor, they're after me. I didn't expect them to be so persistent. It seems that without you, I really wouldn't be able to shake them off."

"Ok."

He touched the bracelet on his wrist.

He took out a token-shaped object that exuded an antique feel.

With a gentle flick, it flew into Chen Lin's hand. He said with some reluctance, "This is a pass token, an extremely rare treasure in the Ferry of Life. Using it can raise your mission rating by one level, so I'm giving it to you!"

He glanced at the token again, feeling a pang of regret.

Without lingering any longer, he vanished into the darkness in a flash.

Chen Lin stared in the direction the other person had left, and only after a long while did he turn his gaze away, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.

This guy is a real treasure trove. In such a short time, he has produced four things that I have been longing for but could not obtain. Moreover, he seems to know quite a few secrets. If I could keep him by my side, the benefits I could gain would be unimaginable.

"I should have taken off the mask and taken a look."

Chen Lin felt a pang of regret.

Based on what the other person said, it seems that as long as he sees the other person's appearance, the other person will stay by his side.

"Thank goodness Dad didn't do that."

Tie Zhu's voice appeared in his mind.

"why?"

While examining the token and the Huaze Pearl, Chen Lin communicated telepathically with Tie Zhu.

Tie Zhu responded immediately.

"When the other party asked my father if he would remove his mask, I sensed a murderous intent. Although it was very weak, I still sensed it. If you had actually seen the other party's face, you would probably be dead by now."

"Oh?"

Chen Lin was somewhat surprised and suspicious.

He asked, "Are you saying you're not confident you can deal with him?"

"No."

Tie Zhu answered immediately.

"This guy gives me a dangerous feeling; I suspect he might be a Dominator-level expert."

"dominate?"

Chen Lin frowned.

Thinking about it, it is indeed possible. If it weren't for a Sovereign-level expert, it would be impossible to take out so many high-level treasures. How could Fu Tianduo dare to capture a mere Sovereign-level being?

Or.

Four Seasons Villa confirmed that the other party was seriously injured and had no ability to resist.
If that's the case, then the other party shouldn't have woken up. Given the judgment of the powerful ruler of Four Seasons Manor, it's impossible for him to make a mistake.

Chen Lin looked around at the darkness and recalled the blue alien's initial soliloquy, which seemed to suggest that its awakening was related to this world.

Then.

Is this a coincidence, or was it orchestrated?
If someone is making the arrangements, is it the blue alien race itself, or that gray carrier pigeon?
