I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2277 North Hall Candle

The arrival of the three managers broke the tense atmosphere.

Chen Lin glanced at the man with sword-like eyebrows, put away the blue rose, and leisurely continued browsing the treasures.

The man with sword-like eyebrows turned pale and then red.

In the end, he remained silent and turned to walk to the other side.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the onlookers dispersed, but they remembered the name Ye Fan. Someone who could intimidate the elders of the Ye family in Changting was no ordinary person. It was best not to provoke him if they saw him in the future.

The tall man in the distance stood there in a daze for a while.

Sighed softly.

He had hoped to curry favor with the Ye family, but he made a mistake and ended up pleasing neither side, which might even bring him trouble.

"what?"

After walking a short distance, Chen Lin's gaze fell on a stall.

The stall was small, with no other items, just a sign that read "Dianling".

"What is your explanation for this spiritual insight, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Lin approached the stall and asked.

Spirit-enhancing techniques are usually used for puppets or to awaken the intelligence of spirit beasts, but to be able to set up a stall in a black market of this level, it must be targeting something other than ordinary items.

"It is about enlightening living beings."

The stall owner was a short, alien-looking man. Although he wasn't wearing a mask, his face was stiff, clearly indicating that he had used disguise techniques.

The atmosphere was also very mixed.

He looked at Chen Lin and continued to explain, "My spirit-enlightening technique is an ancient secret, effective on any living being. It can not only enhance the level of intelligence, but also increase the affection of the enlightened being for its master."

How much does it cost?

Chen Lin became interested.

Over the years, he has acquired many spoils of war, including some strange beast eggs. Moreover, the spirits of these artifacts are quite intelligent, and if their intelligence can be enhanced, it will be very useful in increasing the power of the treasures.

"Divided into three grades."

The short man held up three fingers.

"The third grade only requires one hundred high-grade star crystals, the second grade requires two Eternal Pills, and as for the first grade... it requires high-dimensional treasures, and their value cannot be lower than that of variegated crystals."

Chen Lin shook his head.

This price is really not cheap.

Let alone the variegated crystal, even the Eternal Pill far surpasses the capabilities of ordinary spirit beasts. After all, even for ancient exotic species, reaching the Eternal level is basically the pinnacle.

Moreover, the costs required for cultivation are astronomical.

The other party dares to charge such a price for just a spiritual infusion; no wonder there's no one in front of the stall.

"Don't think it's expensive, sir."

Seeing that Chen Lin was about to leave, the short man hurriedly called out to him.

"My highest-level Spirit Infusion Technique can infinitely stimulate the potential of living beings, giving them the opportunity to acquire higher-dimensional supernatural powers. Once successful, the benefits are unimaginable."

"Oh?"

Chen Lin stopped.

"You said there's a chance, but what's the probability?"

"Fifty percent!"

"you sure?"

This answer moved Chen Lin.

The idea that a lower-dimensional being could have a 50% chance of acquiring higher-dimensional supernatural powers is beyond exaggerated; it's practically defying the heavens. If such an effect were truly possible, there would be no shortage of customers at the other party's stall.

There's no need for them to sell here.

Simply add a few more spirit beasts, and you can roam freely in the outer star field, getting whatever you want.

"Um……"

The short man was speechless for a moment.

Thinking of Chen Lin's impressive display of power just now, showing no regard for even the managers, they dared not be ambiguous anymore.

He chuckled and said, "Hehe, well, the highest chance is 50%, depending on the quality of the spirit being enchanted. The higher the level, the greater the chance."

"Humph."

Chen Lin snorted coldly.

"If a higher-dimensional being can possess higher-dimensional supernatural powers without needing to cultivate spiritual energy, then your secret technique makes no difference. Are you perhaps toying with me?"

"Don't dare."

The short man waved his hands repeatedly.

"My lord, please don't misunderstand. My secret technique is absolutely genuine, and it requires the use of some spiritual dew. The refining of spiritual dew is extremely time-consuming, taking a hundred years to refine even one batch. It is definitely worth the price."

"never mind."

Chen Lin didn't want to waste time talking to the other party.

He took out a short knife and placed it on the stall.

"This is a divine weapon from a higher dimension. Although it is not as good as the variegated crystal, it is still an extremely rare item in this realm. However, it requires innate energy to use. If you agree, let's trade it using a first-class secret technique."

He had many such divine weapons, which were considered valuable in the Seven Star Realm, but they were useless after entering the Star Ruins.

I wouldn't hesitate to use it for trading.

The short man hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the dagger.

Followed by.

The short sword emitted a faint glow.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

The opponent actually possesses innate energy, which is akin to an innate deity, making this sword perfectly suitable for him.

"it is good!"

The short man sensed the aura emanating from the short sword and was immediately delighted. After praising it, he took out a small golden bottle and a small scroll.

It was delivered to Chen Lin.

"This is a first-class secret technique. You only need to drip the Spirit Dew onto the creature that needs to be spiritualized, and then unfold the scroll. Both of these items can only be used once, so please do not look at them in advance."

"So you're saying it's impossible to determine whether it's genuine or not?"

Chen Lin said calmly.

"Don't worry, sir, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the stuff. If you're still worried, you can have it consecrated right now."

"No need."

Using spiritual energy here is unreliable, not only because there are too many people around and it's confusing, but he hasn't even figured out what to use it for yet. It's just a divine weapon anyway, so even if there's something wrong with these two things, it won't be a big loss.

After putting his things away, Chen Lin turned and left.

Continue exploring.

However, I didn't buy anything else.

The treasures here are mostly sinister and don't align with his cultivation path, and frankly, none of them are actually useful to him.

I watched for a while and then lost interest.

So they stopped moving around and found a quiet place to rest, waiting for the trade fair to end.

"Would this fellow Daoist be willing to accept the job?"

I had only rested for a short while when a woman of elegant appearance blocked my way and spoke with a smile.

"Hire?"

Chen Lin glanced at the other person.

He shook his head and said, "I'm not interested, don't bother me."

The elegant woman's smile remained unchanged.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you listen to my conditions? Perhaps they can sway you. Our sect leader is always generous, and the reward he offers will definitely satisfy you."

Chen Lin ignored the other party.

He closed his eyes slightly and used his senses to keep an eye on the old owner of Time Inn, lest the other party leave prematurely.

The elegant woman frowned upon seeing this.

He lingered there for a while, then left with a displeased expression.

Before Chen Lin could calm down, the woman returned, followed by an old woman with white hair.

Chen Lin opened his eyes.

He gave the other person a cold look, as if he didn't want to have any contact with them.

But the old woman didn't care.

She stepped forward again, gave a simple greeting, and said, "I am a steward of the Illusionary Colors Pavilion. My master would like to see you. Please come with me."

"The Illusionary Pavilion?"

Chen Lin pondered for a while, then his expression suddenly changed.

Nod.

"Lead the way."

He remembered this Illusionary Pavilion; it was a rather mysterious force in the outer star system. He had heard about it from Dai Dai Dong when he was on Red Umbrella Star, and it seemed to be related to Star Ruins as well.

To Chen Lin's surprise.

The old woman did not walk towards the passage, but instead took out a small, radiant tower. With a gentle turn, all three of them were enveloped in light.

next moment.

They had already appeared in a magnificent room.

Chen Lin quickly surveyed his surroundings.

Then his gaze fell upon a richly dressed woman seated in the main seat. The woman in the richly dressed woman also looked at him.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Beitang Zhu, the owner of the Illusionary Pavilion of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Neon Light Hall. You are not surnamed Ye, are you? May I ask your real name?"

"Chen Lin".

Chen Lin did not hide anything.

Since the other party is from the Seven Absolutes Sect, investigating him would be a piece of cake, and there's no point in hiding it.

They even know who he is.

"You are quite straightforward."

The woman in the elegant dress smiled.

He then stood up, walked slowly to Chen Lin, looked him up and down, and gestured for him to come in.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please sit down and let's talk."

Chen Lin didn't stand on ceremony and casually sat down in the chair.

"Tea."

The woman in elegant clothes gave a signal and sat down opposite Chen Lin.

When the spiritual tea arrived, I poured myself a cup.

He placed it in front of Chen Lin and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Chen displayed great skill in the Hundred Fruit Garden, helping Hua Qingfeng eliminate the traitor. I wonder if you have joined the Eight Trees?"

"No."

Chen Lin picked up the spirit tea and took a sip.

"That's good."

Beitangzhu nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen probably doesn't know that although Hua Qingfeng is the son of Elder Hua of the Eight Trees, he is only born out of wedlock, and his aptitude is average. He has no future to speak of."

"And his character is also mediocre."

"If you side with him, you'll never have a chance to rise in the world."

Chen Lin did not speak.

He didn't know what the other party's intentions were, so he could only wait for the other party to tell him.

“But I am different.”

Beitangzhu continued speaking.

"I am the personal disciple of the Hall Master of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Neon Light Hall, and I am in charge of the Illusionary Colors Pavilion, one of the twenty-four pavilions. Currently, I am fully responsible for the affairs of the Seven Star Realm. If you follow me, I guarantee you a bright future."

How bright is it?

Chen Lin responded calmly.

"If you agree to join my Illusionary Pavilion as a guest elder and assist me in completing my mission, I can grant you formal membership in the Seven Absolutes Sect and allow you to cultivate at the Star Ruins Sect's headquarters."

"Is this true?"

Chen Lin finally became interested.

If the other party can take him out of the Star Ruins, he is willing to accept the mission as long as it is not a death mission.

Seeing Chen Lin's reaction, Beitang Zhu smiled slightly.

"I, Beitangzhu, never do anything deceitful or fraudulent, but the prerequisite is that you can help me complete the task; otherwise, I have no reason to help you apply for entry."

"What mission?"

Chen Lin had already thought of it, but he still asked the question.

Just as he expected.

Beitang Zhu said solemnly, "After the Seven Stars Conjoined constellation appears, I need you to help my Seven Absolutes Sect seize the treasures that appear in the Star Gate. You don't need many, just one will suffice."

"no problem."

Chen Lin agreed without hesitation.

Although he had already agreed to Jingyun Trading Company's offer, the reward they gave was too low, and they didn't specify that it had to be a treasure; they said they could decide based on the situation later.

Beitangzhu's smile grew even brighter.

Nodding in satisfaction, he said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed a pragmatic person. No matter how powerful the Seven Star Realm was in the past, it is now just a low-dimensional space. Only by leaving can we have a better future."

“The Master of Beitang Tower is right.”

Chen Lin immediately echoed.

He then added, "However, such a significant matter will change my path of cultivation, so I must not act rashly. I need to sign a contract with the Lord."

Don't you believe me?

Beitangzhu glanced at Chen Lin.

He nodded and said, "Sure, it's normal to have some concerns since we're not familiar with each other."

Hear the words.

Chen Lin immediately took out a contract scroll.

This is a loot obtained during a life mission. It is of a very high level and can affect the body, soul, and mind simultaneously. It cannot be neutralized by ordinary means.

Unroll the scroll.

He took out a silver-tipped brush and then an inkstone.

Chen Lin forced out a drop of his primordial blood essence and dripped it into the inkstone, then looked at Beitang Zhu opposite him.

Beitang Zhu frowned.

She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out why.

But when she thought that the other party was just a cultivator from a low-dimensional space and couldn't possibly do anything funny, and that if she wanted to break this level of contract scroll, she would only have to pay a small price.

So I stopped worrying about it.

He also released a drop of his essence blood, which landed on the inkstone.

Then he kept an eye on Chen Lin's actions.

If there was any problem with the content written by Chen Lin, he would immediately destroy the scroll.

Chen Lin absorbed both drops of blood essence into the brush tip, and with a flourish, he wrote the contract in one go.

The scrolls then transformed into two beams of light, which entered the foreheads of the two individuals respectively.

Beitangzhu did not dodge.

Because Chen Lin's writing was flawless, exactly the same as what she said, with no flaws whatsoever, and even more so than what she herself had to be bound by.

Once the contract is signed...

Chen Lin immediately stood up and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting to Beitang Zhu.

"Guest Chen Lin greets the Master!"

"No need to be polite."

Beitangzhu waved his hand.

He said calmly, "Our agreement should not be revealed. I will contact you naturally after the Seven Stars Conjoined appears. For now, you can continue to cultivate on your own as before."

"Yes!"

Chen Lin responded respectfully.

Then he tentatively asked, "When will the Seven Stars Conjunction appear? Does the Master know the approximate time? I will arrange my cultivation time accordingly so as not to delay the Master's important matters."

"This cannot be determined."

Beitangzhu shook his head slightly.

"However, based on the energy changes in the star field, it probably won't be too long. I estimate it should be within a thousand years."

"Yes, I understand. I am ready to obey your orders at any time!"

Chen Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

Then I said goodbye and left.

The old woman led him out of the room, and he felt a lightness in his body. Then, flowers, plants, and trees appeared before his eyes.

They actually went straight back to Autumn Leaf City!
Look around.

Chen Lin didn't rush to find Xiao Cao. Instead, he took out the communication device belonging to the old manager of Time Inn and stood there deep in thought.

He could tell that Beitangzhu didn't know he was the fish that Tianhu Fisherman was focusing on, otherwise he would never have made the promise to take him away.

The overall strength of the Seven Absolutes Sect is weaker than that of the Four Seasons Manor.

But it can still be used.

If he is forced to break through the seal, he can use the contract to drag the other party into the mess. As the leader of the building, the other party is likely to have the strength of a ruler.

He's a good helper.

It all depends on whether the other party can break his contract.

Inside the luxurious room.

Beitang Zhu sat in the chair, his body flashing with light, but his face grew increasingly grim.

After a stick of incense.

The light emanating from his body dissipated.

He said to the old woman, "I'm afraid I've fallen into that guy's trap. His contract is so strong that even the power of the Illusionary Rainbow Pavilion can't remove it. The information we have must be wrong."

The old woman's expression hardened.

“He dared to scheme against Miss, he’s incredibly audacious. I’ll go and bring him back for a soul search, and everything will become clear.”

"late."

Beitang Zhu said dejectedly, "The contract is already in effect. We can't do anything to him until we can resolve it."

"How about this."

"Put everything else aside and do your best to find out about this person before deciding how to deal with him. This person is a cultivator of destiny, and he can be useful for opening the star gate. If we can use him, we should."
