I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2260 Come to the door

"How is the Island of Extraordinary People now? Have any other fellow cultivators come out?"

Chen Lin and Feng Wanding entered a fruit wine shop and sat down to talk in a quiet private room.

"Have."

Feng Wanding took a sip of fruit wine.

"Something seems to have happened over there in the abyss. Several extraordinary individuals who went to explore it have not returned, resulting in a sharp decrease in the harvest of spirit wheat in Yin Yang Valley and a weakening of its spiritual power. There's no point in staying there any longer."

"Guo Tiezui, Suo Mi, and some other fellow Daoists have all come to the outer space to seek development."

Chen Lin's expression shifted upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Guo and Fellow Daoist Suo have also come out. Where are they?"

“I wasn’t with them.”

Feng Wanding shook his head.

"They left even earlier than me. I stayed on the island of strange people a little longer because I was refining a batch of pills. I only came back because the family was selecting candidates for the clan leader."

"Has Fellow Daoist Feng ever been to Rainbow City?"

"correct."

"And what about Ninth Sister? Did she stay at my Kaiyuan Sect, or did she also come to the outer space?"

Chen Lin continued to ask questions.

Feng Wanding smiled.

"Does Fellow Daoist Chen have feelings for Ninth Sister? If so, I can set you up. She has also come to the outer star region and founded a culinary sect on Tianyuan Star."

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Tianyuan Star is very famous in outer space.

It was a purely commercial planet, where major business guilds from across the star system had branches. It was rumored to frequently host large-scale auctions, and many rare treasures could be found there.

He had been planning to go and take a look anyway.

Now we absolutely must go.

It wasn't that I was really interested in Ninth Sister, but rather that I wanted to learn about the Kaiyuan Sect.

"I haven't been back to Rainbow City."

Feng Wanding noticed that Chen Lin didn't respond to Ninth Sister's words.

Let's move on to other topics.

He said slowly, "With the Rainbow Bridge gone, Rainbow City is no longer of much value. It doesn't matter whether you cultivate there or not. It seems that many forces have already withdrawn."

"The Rainbow Realm is relatively stable right now."

Feng Wanding continued his story.

"The effects of the Annihilation Talisman have become negligible, and there is hope for advancement to Eternity. The void rifts have been mostly sealed, and everything is looking up."

"Especially after the prison formation was opened, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was connected, and all forces returned to the ground."

"With the vast number of cultivators in the inner world, there will be no shortage of fresh blood, and development will be very rapid."

Chen Lin was relieved to hear this.

There are many people he cares about in the Rainbow Realm. Having a good cultivation environment would also relieve him of his worries.

Thus.

He can then proceed to the Star Ruins with peace of mind.

The two chatted for a while.

Chen Lin switched to telepathy and asked, "Fellow Daoist Feng, do you know anything about the Hundred Fruit Garden? It's rumored to be a branch of a force from outside the realm. Is that true?"

"it is true."

Feng Wanding also changed his name to Chuanyin.

Then he asked, "Why is Fellow Daoist Chen asking this? Is it because you want to make connections with the forces of Star Ruins? Or do you perhaps intend to leave the Seven Star Realm?"

"I do have an idea, but I'm mainly curious about the cultivation world outside and want to see it for myself."

Chen Lin did not tell the truth.

If he told the truth, the other party would probably sever all ties with him immediately. No cultivator in the Seven Star Realm dares to confront the Star Ruins forces; they are not on the same level.

Feng Wanding had no doubts.

Those who cultivate to the Eternal Realm will all have the idea of ​​leaving the Star Domain, since it is impossible to advance to the Sovereign Realm normally here.

But he sighed softly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't overthink it. For cultivators like us who grew up in the Seven Star Realm, even if we make connections with the Star Ruins forces, at most we can only obtain some external resources."

"It's impossible to get out."

"It's man-made."

Chen Lin replied.

Feng Wanding shook his head. "Under the rule of the sovereign, all are ants. You will know this in the future. No matter how hard you try, some things are in vain. You will only end up getting hurt."

"but."

He changed the subject.

"If you can really get in touch with the forces behind Hundred Fruit Garden and get their strong support, there's still a chance. Many of the powerful people who have come here probably have the same idea as you."

"So that force is quite powerful."

Chen Lin asked again.

"Of course it's strong."

Feng Wanding said with some anticipation, "It is said that within the Star Ruins corresponding to our Seven Star Realm, there are ten large forces, and the one behind Hundred Fruit Garden is one of them."

"It's called Eight Trees."

"This force mainly focuses on cultivating spiritual plants and refining pills, but it is also very strong in other areas. It has several rulers overseeing it. If you are willing to help you, the Old Fisherman of Heavenly Lake will definitely let you pass."

"But such help is not something that can be easily obtained."

Feng Wanding gave a bitter smile.

He sighed, "We think highly of ourselves in the Seven Star Realm, but in the eyes of the Star Ruins forces, we are no different from how we view ordinary people. Would Fellow Daoist Chen be willing to ask a cultivator of the same level for such a huge favor just because of an ordinary person?"

Chen Lin fell silent.

The other party is right.

Moreover, his situation is even more special. Even if the Sovereign intervenes, the Old Fisherman of Heavenly Lake probably won't agree, and might even take action first to 'eat' him, the fish.

Therefore, he never had such a thought.

Unless he can summon a high-level ruler, even a mid-level one won't work, but that's unrealistic.

You have to rely on yourself.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, have you ever heard of the Ant Society?"

Chen Lin asked tentatively.

Many people wanted to rebel against Tianhu Fisherman, and Ant Society was one of them; he had even joined the organization.

"It is said that there are twelve potential rulers inside. If we can persuade everyone to act together, our chances of escaping will greatly increase while Tianhu Fisherman is away."

"hehe."

Feng Wanding smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Chen knows quite a lot, but this organization is very mysterious. It is said to be rebelling against the Heavenly Dao, but it is hard to say what it is actually for."

"Maybe it was the old fisherman from Tianhu who did it."

Chen Lin fell silent again.

What the other person said was very likely, and he had thought about it too, so after attending the first gathering, he never attended another one.

Even if it wasn't the work of the Fisherman of Tianhu, there must be someone among the members of the Ant Society who is the master of the slave seal.

"All right."

Feng Wanding ended the topic

He stood up and said, "I was sent here by my family to collect materials for alchemy. I can't delay any longer. Let's continue to wander around the market."

Chen Lin also came to the market.

Like any other tourist, I bought some spirit fruits.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he used his supernatural powers to interrogate a disciple of the Hundred Fruit Garden. The information he obtained was basically the same as that of the woman who had greeted him, so he stopped wandering around.

We left the buildings and entered the orchard.

This place is open to visitors, but you can only look and not touch; there are many disciples guarding it.

"This is a restricted area. Please stop here, guests."

Chen Lin arrived at the entrance of a valley and was stopped by the guarding disciples.

His eyes flashed.

He directly cast a tranquility spell, enveloping the rest of the area and leaving only the gatekeeper disciple in front of him.

He asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

"Shang Jiu Xian".

The disciple answered woodenly.

Chen Lin continued, "Does this valley lead to the Heart-Refining Fruit Tree?"

"Yes."

The disciple nodded. "However, to enter the Refining Heart Garden, you need the sect leader's token; otherwise, you can't open the formation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin's eyes gleamed, and fine runes appeared as he observed them with his Heavenly Eye.

The scenery before my eyes suddenly changed.

The valley, which had just looked ordinary, was now covered with dense patterns, like a giant net that enveloped the entire valley.

In addition, Chen Lin also discovered...

These patterns intertwine and, when viewed as a whole, appear to form a giant rune.

See this.

Chen Lin did not dare to make any rash moves.

He withdrew his supernatural powers and left the valley.

As long as it can manifest in the form of runes, it is a high-dimensional rule power. He might be able to break through it with his natal runes, but he will definitely be discovered.

He wouldn't mind a big fight.

However, if Baiguoyuan understands his intentions, there is a possibility that they might directly take action against Yaochi.
Moreover, we don't know Yaochi's attitude.

The other party has been in Baiguoyuan for so many years and even became an apprentice there, so they may have some feelings for this place. If we rashly provoke a war, they will be caught in the middle and suffer.

We didn't continue strolling around the orchard.

Chen Lin returned directly to his residence, intending to decide what to do after the fruit tasting event began.

"you are?"

I just walked into the house.

Then they saw a middle-aged man in a black robe sitting in a chair, sipping tea from a teacup.

This made Chen Lin feel alarmed.

The person who can freely enter and leave this room must be a high-ranking member of the Hundred Fruit Garden, and their aura is so subtle that it is impossible to discern their exact cultivation level. They are definitely not an ordinary expert.

"Introduce yourself."

The middle-aged man put down his teacup.

"My name is Xiao Wujin, and I am the head of the Hundred Fruit Garden. Fellow Daoist, you have an invitation from Her Majesty Dai Dai Dong, but you don't seem to be a cultivator from Red Umbrella Star, do you?"

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

He bowed his hand.

He said respectfully, "So it is Sect Leader Xiao. My name is Chen Lin. I am indeed not a cultivator from Red Umbrella Star, but the invitation was given by Her Majesty Dai Dai Dong, so I am here on behalf of Red Umbrella Star. Is this not in accordance with the rules?"

"hehe."

Xiao Wujin waved his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there is no need to worry. Since my Hundred Fruit Garden is holding a fruit tasting event, it is natural to welcome guests from all directions. However, I have noticed that you have been frequently attacking my garden's disciples. I wonder what your intention is?"

Chen Lin's heart sank.

He thought he had done it very discreetly, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

There must be some kind of surveillance array in this secret realm, otherwise, given his abilities, it would be impossible for anyone but a true ruler to see through it.

My mind is spinning.

After weighing the options, Chen Lin decided to be frank and open.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture once more.

He said seriously, "Sect Leader Xiao has such amazing sensing ability, but please don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions. It's just that my Daoist partner has been in this Hundred Fruit Garden for many years, so I just wanted to find out what's going on."

"Taoist companion?"

Xiao Wujin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she seemed to realize something.

Looking Chen Lin up and down, he said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you wouldn't happen to be Elder Fu's closed-door disciple, the husband of Fairy Yaochi, would you?"

"Exactly."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement.

He clasped his hands and said, "My Daoist partner and I were separated due to some reason back then. I only found out that we were here after making many inquiries. I beg Sect Leader Xiao to be lenient and let me leave with my people. If this has caused any damage to your garden, I am willing to compensate you double."

After speaking, he looked at the other person.

It also released a faint aura of runes.

Xiao Wujin did not answer immediately.

He picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then shook his head, saying, "I can't make that decision. Yaochi is Elder Fu's disciple, and whether or not she is allowed to leave is Elder Fu's decision."

Chen Lin frowned slightly.

He said in a deep voice, "According to the information I have, your Elder Fu seems to have disappeared."

"Fellow Daoist, the information is incorrect."

Xiao Wujin responded with a smile.

"Elder Fu has only been away on business for a little over a hundred years. We high-level cultivators go into seclusion for decades or even centuries. Such a short time is hardly enough to be considered missing."

Speaking of it.

He bowed slightly.

He suggested, "How about this: after the Fruit Tasting Conference, Fellow Daoist Chen can stay at my Hundred Fruit Garden. You can discuss when Elder Fu will return."

This suggestion left Chen Lin speechless.

But he can't stay here forever.

Just as the other party said.

For high-level cultivators, decades or even centuries are just a blink of an eye. If Elder Fu doesn't return for several hundred years, it will affect his plan to leave the realm.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin made a request.

"I heard from your disciples that my Daoist companion is imprisoned under the Heart-Refining Fruit Tree. I wonder what conditions are needed to end her punishment?"

"hehe."

Xiao Wujin chuckled again.

He said calmly, "I have heard that Fellow Daoist Chen is also the head of a sect. You should understand that every sect has its rules. Although Yaochi is your Daoist partner, she is also a member of this garden. If she makes a mistake, she will be punished."

Chen Lin's expression turned cold.

"But as far as I know, my partner's punishment is not her fault. Since you are not distinguishing right from wrong, then I will not hold back and let's see who is more capable!"

If taking people away peacefully is not an option, then we have no choice but to take action. While the Second Elder is not around, we can split up and defeat them.

To Chen Lin's surprise.

Xiao Wujin did not get angry.

Instead, she looked at him with admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed a man of deep affection. It's a pity that the Hundred Fruit Garden is no longer under my control."

"I am also aware of the matter at Yaochi."

"But the person who bullied her is the Second Elder's son, and the order to punish him was also given by the Second Elder. I can hardly protect myself, and I really have no ability to seek justice for Yaochi."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Lin suppressed his murderous intent.

He said expressionlessly, "So, Sect Leader Xiao has come here to use someone else to do his dirty work. But this knife of mine isn't so easy to borrow; it might hurt others."

He then sat down in his seat.

Xiao Wujin showed admiration.

He praised, "It's so refreshing to deal with smart people."

I took a sip of tea.

He continued, “Regardless of my purpose, the situation is absolutely true. The reason why Fellow Daoist Chen’s partner was punished is because Hua Qingfeng’s son, Hua Yuanming, wanted to take her as a concubine. Therefore, the conflict between you and Hua Qingfeng is irreconcilable.”

Put down the teacup.

Xiao Wujin looked at Chen Lin.

"I think that as the number one person in the Rainbow Realm, Sect Master Chen shouldn't be a coward and tolerate his partner being teased, right?"

Chen Lin raised his eyelids slightly.

He said expressionlessly, "You're right, it's indeed intolerable, but I might not just kill them. I could also kill everyone from your Hundred Fruit Garden, leaving no one alive."

"What courage!"

Xiao Wujin remained unperturbed.

With a smile, he said, "Fellow Daoist Chen's attitude makes me feel that I have found the right person. How about this, you help me kill Hua Qingfeng, and I can agree to one condition, but it can't be too outrageous."

"I would like to use the passage of your Hundred Fruit Garden to leave the Seven Star Realm."

Chen Lin immediately stated his request.

"This one doesn't work, let's find another one."

Xiao Wujin refused without hesitation.

"why?"

Chen Lin asked in a deep voice.

"Do I need to explain the reason? Fellow Daoist Chen knows better than anyone else. I don't have that much face to ask a second-tier ruler to let go of my fish, especially a big fish."
