I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2209 Autumn Night White

Chen Lin felt that the flower had developed a spirit, and that using the Soul-Destroying Finger to weaken its spiritual consciousness might allow him to capture it.

However, the spirit cannot be annihilated directly, otherwise the flower's value would be lost.

The Soul-Destroying Finger strikes.

The flower trembled suddenly, its pure white body dimmed slightly, and a sense of deathly stillness arose within it.

But it quickly returned to normal.

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

The fact that the Soul-Destroying Finger could react to it meant that a spirit must exist, yet it so easily neutralized the power of the Soul-Destroying Finger, which truly surprised him.

There was no pause.

Chen Lin unleashed the Soul-Destroying Finger once again.

And they will no longer hold back.

One challenge after another, each one requiring all-out effort.

But the flower remained the same as before; after being hit, its body turned slightly grayish, but then it returned to its original state.

"interesting."

Chen Lin spoke softly.

Then he tentatively asked, "Since you were able to neutralize my attack, you must be intelligent. How about we talk?"

The flowers did not react.

Seeing this, Chen Lin stroked his chin.

He continued to persuade, "Whether you are a naturally born spirit or nurtured by the Linglong Sect, there is no need for you to stay here any longer."

He tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible.

“The Linglong Sect has been destroyed for ten thousand years. Now the world is suffering from the erosion of dark energy and has entered the apocalypse. You are more than a thousand feet underground. No one else will come here except me.”

"Are you really willing to just fend for yourself here?"

The flower stirred.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He immediately added, "I have no ill intentions towards you, nor do I necessarily need you to refine pills. As long as you are willing to leave with me, I promise I will not take your life."

"of course."

"You can't give nothing at all; you just need to provide me with some of your own sap or petals occasionally."

The flowers still did not respond.

Chen Lin shook his head.

He waved his hand and said, "Since you're unwilling, then forget it. I don't have the habit of forcing people. Just stay here and fend for yourself. I wish you good luck."

After saying that, he ignored the other person.

Chen Lin began to organize the spiritual herbs he had collected, preparing to transplant them into the Fruit Core Cave.

This flower has gained wisdom; it withers as soon as you get close to it, and you can't forcibly take it away. There's no need to force it.

Moreover, judging by the time, the day agreed upon with Yu Yuanqi is fast approaching. I wonder if the other party's choice of this date is related to opening the passage, so in any case, I must go out and check the situation as soon as possible.

"Has the Linglong Sect really been destroyed for ten thousand years?"

Just as Chen Lin was about to open the Fruit Pit Cave, a soft female voice rang in his mind.

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

He immediately nodded and said, "That's right, there's no need to lie to you about this. You'll know once you get out."

"Tell me about the situation outside first."

The gentle voice sounded again.

Chen Lin returned to the other party and truthfully recounted the information he knew, as well as how he got here.

Such a spiritual flower would be extremely useful if it could be taken out.

Try your best to achieve it.

"Ugh!"

After listening to Chen Lin's story, Hua Duo let out a sigh.

With endless sorrow, she whispered, "I never thought that after all my efforts, we would still end up being wiped out. Senior brother, you didn't listen to my advice. Did you realize your mistake before you died?"

"But what good will it do to know?"

"Hundreds of generations of inheritance, the hard work of countless predecessors, and hundreds of thousands of disciples have all been annihilated by your single thought. The Linglong Sect will never exist again."

Chen Lin frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Judging from the other person's mutterings, they seem to be from the Linglong Sect.

In that case, the other party is not the spirit of the flower, but rather parasitizes it using some kind of secret technique, seeking to live longer.

But if that's the case, the flower wouldn't be so unusual.

"My name is Qiu Yebai."

The flower's sound returned to normal.

He introduced himself, saying, "I am the Grand Elder of the Linglong Sect. I entered the Wheel Realm in three hundred years, reached the ninth level of the Wheel Realm in a thousand years, and then have been stuck at this stage for thousands of years without being able to break through."

"Not just me."

"From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to cross this insurmountable barrier. All those with extraordinary talent have died in despair in the Wheel Realm."

"I, my senior brother who is the sect leader, and all the ancestors of the Linglong Sect have been obsessed with breaking through to the next realm, but we have not even figured out the slightest way to do it."

Chen Lin listened quietly.

If the other party is willing to talk, it means they intend to leave, and there's no need for further words.

"In order to break through this final step, my senior brother traveled to all regions and finally found a clue in an ancient book. Following the clue, he found a door connecting to an unknown region."

"So they moved the sect's headquarters here and studied the method of activation day and night."

"I sensed an extremely terrifying aura from behind that door and tried my best to dissuade him, but to no avail. He was already possessed and completely absorbed in that door."

A glint flashed in Chen Lin's eyes.

So the door came first, and this secret place came later. Without a doubt, the destruction of the Linglong Sect must be related to that door.

"Is the door open?"

Seeing that the other party stopped at a crucial point, Chen Lin asked a question.

"A crack has opened."

Qiu Yebai's tone became low and somber.

"It was that one crack that brought about the destruction of the Linglong Sect. The aura it released instantly caused thousands of disciples to vanish like dust in the wind. Although the sealing array that had been set up in advance was activated, it still could not stop it."

"There was no other choice."

"The survivors then retreated to this underground shelter."

"But it's only safe for now."

"As time went on, we were horrified to discover that no matter what we did or what supernatural powers we had, those who were tainted by that terrifying aura would be gradually eroded and eventually turn into dust."

"Even most treasures are no exception."

"Moreover, that aura is diffused; anyone who comes into contact with it will be affected,"

“I fled into my herb garden, but I couldn’t get rid of the terrifying aura. When I had no other choice, I used my innate ability to transform myself into this Night White Flower.”

Speaking of it.

Qiu Yebai's tone turned desolate.

"Ten thousand years have passed, and the sect has become ruins. No one survived. We don't know if it affected other places, or what happened to that door."

I'll mention this.

Chen Lin suddenly remembered the woman in the phoenix crown.

That woman didn't die; in fact, she turned into a flower. I wonder if she's related to the person in front of me.

He pondered for a moment.

He asked directly, "Do you know a woman who wears a phoenix crown and has a very... dignified demeanor?"

"Phoenix crown?"

Qiu Yebai's tone was filled with doubt.

"Among the Wheel Realm experts of my Linglong Sect, there are no women wearing phoenix crowns, but if they are low-level disciples, I cannot know for sure."

He then pressed on, "What, did you encounter someone alive outside? What was her name?"

"It's not a living person, it's just an illusion."

Chen Lin gave a vague reply. He sensed that the woman in the phoenix crown was at least at the Wheel Realm; since he didn't recognize her, she wasn't from the Linglong Sect.

There are two possibilities.

One came out from behind that giant gate, and the other was a creature from a strange land.

There's no need to pay attention to either one.

correct.

Chen Lin suddenly remembered another possibility.

The woman wearing the phoenix crown may not necessarily be a woman; she could also be a man, because the phoenix crown would make the wearer appear as a woman!
Could he be the sect leader they were talking about?

But after thinking about it, he decided not to ask any further. Whether it was true or not was none of his business. Besides, the woman in the phoenix crown wanted to make a promise with him to follow him. If she was a man in disguise, it would be better to stay as far away as possible.

Would you like to come with me?

Chen Lin changed the subject.

"I'm willing, but you need to promise not to do anything excessive to me, and I can't leave this sacred land. How will you take me away?"

"This is easy to handle."

Chen Lin immediately swore an oath that as long as the other party did not betray him, he would not harm them excessively, but it was inevitable that he would take some spiritual liquid for use.

You can't just give and not receive.

Then he tried to use bone fragments to open the cave in the fruit pit.

To their surprise, they discovered that this treasure of the cave was not suppressed here and could be opened directly.

Not only the treasures of the cave, but all other energies that were previously unusable can now be used normally, though they have little effect.

Chen Lin nodded secretly.

This is normal. In the past, when he entered other higher dimensions, he was not suppressed in any way. Therefore, what suppressed him was not the original rules of this world, but the dark energy.

It's also related to his body transformation.

After all, he is now using Yan Beixuan's body, so it's not surprising that he can't use his original supernatural powers.

Chen Lin first collected the other spiritual plants into the Fruit Core Cave Heaven, and then began transplanting the Autumn Night White. With the other party's active cooperation, it went smoothly, and the spiritual soil below was also collected into the cave heaven.

They even collected soil from other places to cultivate other spiritual plants.

"Don't bother. The material of your treasure is too poor. If you collect too many spiritual items, it will probably collapse soon."

Qiu Yebai spoke up to stop him.

As soon as she finished speaking, a cracking sound was heard, and a small crack appeared on the fruit pit.

Chen Lin was startled.

They quickly took a look and saw that the crack hadn't penetrated through and that the cave was relatively stable, so they relaxed a little.

"Does the senior possess a method to repair the grotto-heaven?"

Chen Lin was very polite.

Because he not only had to ask this question, but also many other questions. The other party was a powerful being at the ninth level of the Wheel Realm. Even though he had turned into a flower and couldn't move, his memories were still there. If used properly, he could gain tremendous benefits.

"Yes, it exists, but you can't use it right now."

Qiu Yebai replied with a sentence.

He then added, "You need to have at least the cultivation level of the Wheel Realm to have the ability to repair it, and the materials are also very scarce. I wonder if the Linglong Sect's treasury is still there. If it is, there might be some there."

"treasure house?"

Chen Lin's spirits lifted.

"Where is it? Is it in an underground structure?"

"Yes, it's right there. It requires the sect leader's exquisite seal to open, but don't get your hopes up too high. It's not an independent secret realm, and it's very likely that it's also been corrupted by the aura behind the giant gate."

Qiu Yebai's words calmed Chen Lin down.

The other party is right.

Moreover, even if one can evade the erosion of the giant gate's aura, one may not be able to evade the dark energy.

He felt that the reason why the giant gate stopped releasing its aura was likely related to the appearance of dark energy. Both energies were extremely high, and it was possible that they suppressed each other.

The only problem is that the time span is quite large.

The Linglong Sect was destroyed ten thousand years ago, and dark energy had only appeared three hundred years ago.

That doesn't match up.

If it's not due to dark energy, the most likely cause is the work of that woman in the phoenix crown.

My thoughts wandered for a moment.

Chen Lin composed himself.

He continued, "Since you can transform into spiritual plants, you must be very skilled in cultivation. Could you please guide me on the names and effects of these spiritual plants, and how to plant them?"

Once you leave this herb garden, the Fruit Core Cave will be suppressed again and will require bone fragments to open.

Moreover, it causes even greater damage to the fruit pit.

So you can only leave after you've finished dealing with what you need to do here.

"This is easy to handle."

The white flowers of Autumn Night swayed, and a particle of light flew up from a petal and floated in front of Chen Lin.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

Absorbs light particles.

Suddenly, a lot of information appeared in my mind, all of it about spiritual plants.

It took a while to digest.

He was secretly delighted. The information provided by the other party was more comprehensive and of a higher level than the Spirit Plant Encyclopedia, which would greatly help him in collecting spirit plants in the future.

then.

Chen Lin then began planting spiritual plants.

It took a full hour, using all sorts of methods, to roughly complete the planting.

Those that could be stored directly were not planted; they were kept in the storage belt for later use.

There's no need to skimp on these things.

Their purpose is to help him complete his task; if he fails to complete the task or does not receive a perfect evaluation, it is all meaningless to him.

"What kind of cultivation method do you practice, senior? Do you have any powerful supernatural abilities or techniques to teach me?"

Chen Lin made the request again.

Seemingly feeling that being direct was a bit abrupt, he explained, "I am only at the Mang Realm level now. There are many monsters and strange beasts outside, and I really don't have the confidence to face them. If I die, you will also be trapped and die in this cave."

Autumn Night White remained silent for a moment.

Still nodded.

“The Linglong Sect has been destroyed, and there is no need to abide by the sect rules anymore. Tell me what kind of cultivation technique you practice, and I will help you analyze it to see which kind of supernatural power is suitable for you.”

"I cultivate the Myriad Manifestations Technique."

Chen Lin described the Myriad Manifestations Technique and demonstrated it to the other party without holding anything back.

"This cultivation technique..."

Qiu Yebai's tone was full of surprise.

"I'm afraid I can't help you. Your cultivation technique is even more profound than the Linglong Technique of my Linglong Sect, and it's not an energy system. Even if I teach you, you won't be able to use it."

There was a pause.

She said uncertainly, "Your technique is probably unique. Any energy that cannot compare to it will be fused with its energy."

Chen Lin was not surprised.

He had already discovered this.

When the Myriad Manifestations Technique was completed, the original owner's innate energy had already been devoured and fused. He also planned to use this technique to fuse his internal energy and other energies after completing his mission and leaving.

From now on, I will focus on practicing this method.

Seeing that Chen Lin did not show any surprise, Qiu Yebai knew that Chen Lin knew about this matter.

So we changed our approach.

“Our cultivation paths are different, so I can’t give you guidance on techniques. But I am, after all, at the Wheel Realm, and I can give you some advice on improving your realm. In addition, I can also refine pills. If you are interested in alchemy, I can help you with that too.”

"but."

Qiu Yebai's tone became serious.

"I also need you to do something for me."
