I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2234 Cup
"No hints."

Upon hearing Chen Lin's question, Bai Qingshui immediately answered.

He continued, "Xiao Jinxia sent her disciple, who specifically requested this cup, saying that it was a betrothal gift between Xiao Jinxia and Yu Yuanqi. Since Yu Yuanqi is dead, she doesn't want it left outside."

"A token?"

Chen Lin weighed the cup in his hand.

He wondered, "If this cup is an engagement token, the other party shouldn't have waited so long if they wanted it. It must have some special purpose, or perhaps the other party didn't even know it existed and only found out now, so they immediately came to ask for it."

"In that case."

Chen Lin analyzed, "The value of this item should be even greater than that of the embroidered handkerchief."

Bai Qingshui's eyes flickered.

He immediately asked, "Does Your Excellency wish to meet that female disciple in person?"

"No need."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

He shook his head and said, "Although Xiao Jinxia and Yu Yuanqi are only husband and wife in name only, if I kill Yu Yuanqi, it will also affect Lei Ming's face. It's enough to maintain the current delicate balance. There's no need to have too much contact with the other side's people."

After saying that, he was about to hand the cup over.

I thought about it.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, he tried to activate it using his natal rune.

After there was no response, I tried using soul power again.

"not good!"

The moment his soul force touched the cup, Chen Lin felt a terrifying pulling sensation. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't resist this force.

Even the aura of the Soul Master is not enough.

The soul was instantly pulled out of the body and into the inside of the cup.

"Hehe, just as I expected."

As a calm voice rang out, Chen Lin's senses returned to normal.

He felt that his soul was not harmed, but was in a small, dimly lit space. Not far away, there stood a woman of extraordinary bearing, who was also in a soul form.

"Xiao Jinxia?"

Chen Lin thought of a possibility and immediately probed for information.

At the same time, examine yourself.

However, they discovered that their souls were being suppressed by some mysterious force, making it impossible to use their soul power at a high intensity. They could only communicate in a simple way, and they couldn't use techniques such as the Soul-Destroying Finger.

"Don't worry."

The woman looked at Chen Lin.

He said in a calm tone, "This Soul Shadow Cup is just a communication artifact. Although we can see each other, we are not actually in the same space, and we cannot attack each other."

"You've brought me here, is there something you want me to do?"

Chen Lin asked in a deep voice.

He couldn't be sure if what the other party said was true or false, but it was true that he couldn't use his soul power. He had no other way but to communicate with the other party.

"No."

The woman said calmly, "I just wanted to ask what your life's mission is."

Chen Lin was startled.

But there was no outward reaction.

He said in a calm tone, "What life mission? I don't know what you're talking about. If you want to avenge your husband, come to me openly and honestly. I'll give you a fair chance to duel."

"Don't mention the word 'husband,' or I really will kill you!"

The woman's voice finally showed some variation.

It seemed like anger, or perhaps frustration; in short, it wasn't a good feeling.

For quite a while.

Her emotions finally calmed down.

Looking at Chen Lin, he said, "You don't have to tell me the details of the mission, but tell me, why are you able to maintain your male form instead of turning into a woman?"

Chen Lin was stunned.

The amount of information in that question is enormous.

First of all, this person must have entered under a mission, otherwise they wouldn't know about it. The recipient of the letter must not disclose the ferry information to others, or they will be severely punished.

Besides.

Judging from what the other person said, there are quite a few people experiencing this interface, and it seems that once they enter, they will turn into women.

Why did I have to become a woman?

Chen Lin gave a vague reply.

He was eager to know the meaning behind the other person's words, but he didn't want to reveal his identity. Although the ferry had a rule against disclosing information, nothing is absolute, and the other person might not be the one experiencing the life.

"Don't you know? You've never been to a temple?"

The woman then revealed another piece of information that surprised Chen Lin.

Chen Lin remained silent.

She continued, "It seems you really don't know, so let me tell you. At least a hundred life experience participants have been sent into this interface, and they will all turn into women after entering."

"And only men can obtain the life-saving letter from this place."

"Depending on the mission, some people directly possess the body of the female mission issuer, while others are directly descended and transformed from men into women. No one can escape this fate."

"Until I found you."

The woman stared at Chen Lin's face, as if trying to see through him.

After observing for a while, he said, "You don't need to deny it. I've been observing you for a long time. The reason you were invited by He Erniang to the Linglong Sect's secret place was also at my behest."

"And Jian Wu is also one of my men."

“Your every move, and those methods that don’t belong to this world, all indicate that you are a visitor from outside.”

"However, I wasn't quite sure before."

The woman slowly walked up to Chen Lin.

While looking him over, he said, "But your recent investigation into the cause of the darkness's arrival, as well as your illogical waste of resources, are enough to show that you have a mission."

"They must be people who have experienced life firsthand."

Chen Lin's expression changed several times.

This was truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; he never imagined that the other party had been secretly investigating him all along.

Even more exaggerated.

There were over a hundred 'pioneers' ahead of him. What secrets could there be that would make the ferry of life so important?

"What, you still don't want to admit it?"

The woman snorted.

"It's no use denying it. Since the soul can be pulled in by the Soul Shadow Cup, it means there's a problem."

There was a pause.

She added, "I'll give you some information for free first. The participants in this life experience are in competition with each other, so the tasks are adversarial. If your opponent completes the task first, your task will fail."

"As for the outcome."

"I'm sure I don't need to say more."

Chen Lin frowned deeply.

Finally breaking his silence, he asked, "Life tasks are issued by the issuer; they are the issuer's expression of their wishes. They cannot be unified at all, so how can there be any antagonism?"

"You're so childish."

The woman pursed her lips.

She immediately felt that the action was too feminine, and forcibly restrained herself.

"Damn it!"

She cursed angrily.

His tone turned cold as he said, "The ferry of life is nothing more than a treasure. As a treasure, it is controlled by someone and has a purpose for existence. Do you think this is the way of heaven?"

Even the will of Heaven is unreliable!

"In short, let me tell you, all the people who enter this place for the life experience are in factions. The faction you belong to depends on which temple you enter for the first time."

"They are locked in a life-or-death struggle."

After saying that, he stared into Chen Lin's eyes again.

He asked in a deep voice, "Now can you tell me about your mission?"
