I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2210 Treasure House
"What do you need me to do, senior?"

Chen Lin was not surprised that Qiu Yebai made a request.

If the other person truly had no desires or wants, they wouldn't have left with him.

"I need you to help me find the Twin Wheel Stones."

Qiu Yebai revealed his purpose.

Chen Lin thought for a moment and, confirming that he had never heard of this item before, asked, "What kind of treasure is this, and where can I obtain it?"

"I don't know exactly where it is."

Qiu Yebai answered immediately.

He then explained, "I saw it in an ancient book; this item might be able to restore my body."

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

It turns out that they wanted to recover their health, which is a reasonable request.

He pondered for a moment.

He truthfully said, "To be honest, senior, this world is currently shrouded in dark energy, and monsters roam freely. There is almost no contact between the various settlements, making it extremely difficult to find treasures."

"Could you please describe your situation, senior? I'd like to see if there are any other solutions."

Autumn Night White remained silent for a moment.

He replied, "There's nothing to hide. I was born with a unique body and a companion spirit, which is the Night White Flower."

"In order to dispel the terrifying otherworldly aura, I had no choice but to transform myself into a flower."

"Originally, I could freely switch between my physical body and my companion spirit, but due to the influence of the otherworldly aura, my switching ability failed, and I can only try to rely on external objects."

Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Chen Lin fell into thought.

He had heard of the concept of companion spirits, and he knew of several treasures that could assist in transformation, but they were all items within the boundary river and could not be effective on higher-dimensional life forms.

We need to think about this carefully.

"Don't worry, senior. I've noted your request and will do my best to help you resolve it."

He made a promise.

Chen Lin then discussed other topics with the other party.

The main activity was for him to ask questions and answer them, gaining some understanding of the situation in the Age of Light. Unfortunately, the other party was a figure from ten thousand years ago, and the information provided could only be used as a reference.

Time passes slowly.

Two hours later.

Having asked almost everything he wanted to ask, Chen Lin benefited greatly. What pleased him most was that the other party taught him a sword control technique through an empowerment method. It was quite profound and allowed him to control the flying sword of Han Wangxian from the Heavenly God Palace.

But they dared not delay any longer.

After mastering the basics of sword control, he packed up everything he could carry and left the cave.

"Click."

As soon as Chen Lin landed, he heard a soft sound, and another crack appeared on the fruit pit.

His face looked very ugly.

It seems this thing can't be opened anymore, otherwise it might really crash, and then the things inside, including Qiu Yebai, might not be preserved.

No more time was wasted.

Following the instructions given by Qiu Yebai, Chen Lin walked to a certain location, used the bone fragment to break open the space, and was about to leave through the passage.

"Crack!"

Just as they came into contact with the spatial ripples, a muffled sound suddenly rang out.

Chen Lin looked at the fruit pit in astonishment, his brows furrowing deeply.

He didn't do anything this time, yet the object cracked on its own. Could it be that the space inside is unstable and about to collapse?

Not daring to make any other moves, Chen Lin placed the fruit pit in his palm and carefully observed it.

A stick of incense passed by.

The pit remained stable and no further cracks appeared.

Chen Lin's expression kept changing.

After hesitating for a moment, he moved closer to the spatial ripples again.

As soon as the body touched the ripples, before it could even go inside, the fruit pit trembled slightly, as if it were under great pressure.

He quickly stopped moving and moved away from the ripples in the space.

The pit then returned to normal.

Chen Lin's brows were furrowed.

He also used bone fragments to break through the passage when he came in, but there was no such situation then, so it shouldn't be due to the suppression of the spatial passage.

At this thought, a thought struck him.

Immediately use your soul to communicate with Qiu Yebai in the cave.

Are you subject to restrictions?

Qiu Yebai's tone turned somber upon hearing Chen Lin's words.

Then he sighed and said, "Then forget it. Replant me in my original place. I have become one with this herb garden and cannot leave until I return to human form."

Chen Lin had actually thought of this as well.

Even after receiving a definite answer, I was still somewhat disappointed. The other party was a treasure trove of knowledge, and it would be a real shame to leave it here.

"Is there no solution? Can we forcefully break through this secret realm?"

Chen Lin asked, unwilling to give up.

"It can't be done."

Qiu Yebai felt quite helpless.

“This herb garden is a treasure, and I have already refined it using a special method. If it is destroyed, I will not be able to survive, and I do not have the ability to destroy it now.”

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

He couldn't be sure if what the other person said was true or false. After all, he was an "intruder," and it was very possible that the other person would tell lies as an excuse in order to avoid being taken away.

But after thinking it over, he followed the other party's advice and transplanted it again.

"In that case, senior, you'll have to stay here. If I can get the Twin Reincarnation Stone you mentioned, I'll come back to find you."

Chen Lin cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Regardless of whether the other party is lying or not, if they don't cooperate, he won't be able to take them away intact, and it's uncertain what kind of mission evaluation he'll get. There's no need to destroy the spirit and leave only the flower.

"That's all it can do."

Autumn Night White sighed softly.

He then added, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to Tianxi City to ask the Qiu family for help. However, more than ten thousand years have passed, and my family is probably no longer around. Don't have too high hopes. If you can't find them, just give up."

"I understand. Take care, senior."

Having decided to give up on the other party, Chen Lin stopped dwelling on it, opened the spatial ripples again, and entered the passage.

This time there were no further obstacles.

With a light step, he returned to the side gate.

In the elixir garden.

When the spatial ripples disappeared, the flower flashed and transformed into a tall, imposing man.

He stared at the spot where the ripples had disappeared, his eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

"How could someone break through my Sumeru Plate? Who is this person? Could they be from inside that door?"

The man muttered to himself.

With a wave of his hand, the entire space shrank continuously until only a tiny spot remained where he stood.

Immediately after it was done, his body began to contort and become blurry.

"Damn it, I don't want to be a woman!"

The man cursed angrily.

Then a white light shone from between his eyebrows, enveloping him and transforming him into a flower once more.

……

Chen Lin glanced around and, not finding anyone else, quickly entered the corridor.

All the way without stopping.

We returned to a small room.

The room was completely empty. He had been wondering what it was used for, but it turned out to be the entrance to a treasure vault.

Glanced.

They immediately found the mechanism that Qiu Yebai had mentioned.

It is an inconspicuous depression.

I took out the spirit jade seal I had gotten from the drawer earlier, compared it, and found that the size was just right to fit inside.

This seal is the symbol of the Linglong Sect's leader. It looks unremarkable, yet it can control all parts of the Linglong Sect.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a treasure, so it wasn't very useful to him. However, the writing brush, Qiu Yebai said, was a treasure, a rare item that the other sect leader's senior brother had obtained by chance.

Using this pen to draw talismans can increase the success rate several times over, and it can also draw talismans out of thin air, and even bring the drawn images to life, among other miraculous effects.

As for its detailed function, the other party did not know either.

The sect leader always treasured this brush, refusing to let anyone see it. The painting he kept was drawn with this brush, as if it contained some secret.

While thinking about the information provided by Qiu Yebai, Chen Lin placed the seal into the groove.

The seal immediately emitted a faint glow.

Then a series of mechanical sounds rang out, and the wall in front slowly opened to both sides, with the grooves serving as the dividing line.

A passageway was revealed.

Chen Lin was quite surprised that the gate to this treasure was actually made of mechanical devices, which showed that the application of formations in this realm was indeed somewhat weak.

Without Tie Zhu by his side, he had to sense danger on his own.

After observing for a while with his soul perception and confirming that there was no major problem, Chen Lin stepped into the passage.

It didn't take long.

Two stone doors appeared before them, one on the left and one on the right. The left door was inscribed with 'treasure', while the right door was inscribed with 'books'.

Chen Lin first pushed aside the books.

As soon as the stone door opened, a putrid smell hit him, and he knew there would be no gain.

really.

The room was also corrupted by dark energy, and coupled with the previous otherworldly aura, not a single book was preserved; they all turned to dust.

Shake his head.

Chen Lin turned and walked out.

He wasn't too disappointed. A sect's ancient text from ten thousand years ago wasn't very meaningful to him. With Qiu Yebai around, he could also obtain the Linglong Sect's cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities.

Moreover, he cannot change his cultivation method even though he practices the Myriad Manifestations Technique.

Then push open the door to the treasure room.

Upon entering, I discovered a downward staircase, presumably for classifying treasures, with different levels of items placed in different locations.

Suppress your eagerness.

Chen Lin first checked the entire first floor.

There was nothing to be gained.

There aren't many treasures on this floor, and most of them are low-level. They're all corroded beyond recognition, crumbling into pieces with the slightest movement, some even turning into powder.

Only some spirit jade pieces were still intact, but they were of little use.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

This situation doesn't seem to be caused by dark energy. Although many shops selling treasures in Yuming City are also corrupted by dark energy, they don't reach this level.

After all, darkness has only descended for three hundred years.

Since it's not dark energy, it must be caused by the otherworldly aura behind the giant gate.

No wonder Tiezhu told him never to go inside.

The mere aura it exudes is so corrosive that if one were to enter directly, one would likely be instantly reduced to ashes.

Chen Lin was somewhat worried about Tie Zhu.

But worrying was useless; he was too weak as a father to do anything.

I could only suppress my worries.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Lin walked down the steps.

Below was another spacious room, but the treasures inside were even fewer, and most of them had become weathered.

However, two items were still well preserved.

After sensing that there was no danger, Chen Lin took the two treasures in his hands.

An unidentified ore.

There is also a round mirror with a pitted and uneven surface.

The ore is about the size of a fist, dark green, and irregularly shaped. Even under the suppression of dark energy, it can still emit a faint glow and contains a strange aura.

I looked at it for a while but couldn't figure it out.

Chen Lin put the ore into his belt space, planning to ask Qiu Yebai what it was when he opened the Fruit Pit Cave next time.

Whatever it is, it's extraordinary if it can be preserved.

Next, check the round mirror.

The pits on the mirror surface are not caused by energy erosion, but are simply how they are. The back is a handle, which is actually smoother than the front.

After a moment's thought.

Chen Lin activated the Myriad Manifestations Technique, attempting to activate it.

Suddenly, a huge suction force came from the button on the mirror.

Following the hand that was holding the button, the innate energy in his body was absorbed, and not only the innate energy was absorbed, but also the source that produced the innate energy.

This greatly alarmed Chen Lin.

He hurriedly and violently shook his hand, trying to fling the mirror away.

But the mirror seemed glued to the surface, impossible to shake off, and even trying to stop the Myriad Manifestations Technique couldn't be done.

Fortunately, Chen Lin activated the runes in his dantian in time, using the aura of the runes to envelop his palm, thus separating himself from the round mirror and preventing him from being further devoured.

But only for a short while.

A significant portion of his Myriad Manifestations Technique's essence was absorbed, causing his cultivation to weaken considerably, almost preventing him from maintaining his Mang Realm cultivation.

Chen Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The cultivation of the Myriad Manifestations Technique is extremely difficult. If he were to fall into the Mang Realm, it would be a serious problem and would be extremely detrimental to his future actions.

He then looked at the round mirror.

Having absorbed so much primal energy, there should be some reaction, at least enough for him to understand what kind of treasure it is.

If it can unleash powerful attack methods, then it won't be a complete waste.

At this time.

The pitted parts of the mirror lit up, emitting irregular beams of light that enveloped his body from different angles.

Then Chen Lin felt a warm sensation all over his body.

Very comfortable.

But that's all.

After a dozen or so breaths, the light slowly faded, and the mirror returned to its original state.

That's it?

Chen Lin frowned and focused his consciousness into his body, conducting a comprehensive examination.

Finally, it was determined that there were no changes in the body or soul, and the Myriad Manifestations Technique and the dantian runes were also completely normal.

He then entered the realm of spiritual empowerment.

still the same.

There is no difference.

Chen Lin withdrew from the Spirit-Enchanting Realm and looked at his palm again.

My hands seem a bit smoother than before.

He was filled with astonishment and doubt.

He immediately condensed his true soul body and examined the body from an observer's perspective.

Then I saw that not only his hands, but all the skin on his body had become much whiter and smoother, and his face had become more delicate and younger.

This scene caused Chen Lin's expression to change slightly.

She subconsciously touched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no female characteristics.

The true soul is absorbed into the body.

Chen Lin looked at the round mirror in thought.

Judging from the changes it causes, this item has two possible effects: one is to increase lifespan, and the other is to make oneself more beautiful.

But none of them seem quite right.

If his lifespan were to increase, he couldn't possibly be unaware of it, unless it was the base lifespan that was increased, and by a very small amount.

Becoming more beautiful is also illogical.

No cultivator would waste so much of their primordial energy just to improve their appearance.

There are many magical items that can preserve youth, so it's not difficult to stay young forever.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Chen Lin didn't waste any more time. He put the mirror away and went down to the next floor.
