I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2318 Lottery
"Zhao Ziping?"

Chen Lin tried hard to recall, but still couldn't remember who it was.

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

Where are you currently practicing your cultivation?

The other party does indeed have a bloodline contract left by him, but it's not very strong. It's estimated that he planted it in the other party's ancestor when he was in the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage.

That was ten thousand years ago.

The other party's bloodline has continued for countless generations, and the power of the contract has become very weak.

"Previously in the Heavenly Profound Realm, now in the Boundless Realm."

Zhao Qingchuan answered immediately.

Then, with a hopeful expression, he said, "Our clan is currently facing a crisis. We beg you, sir, to lend us a helping hand and give us the opportunity to renew our ancestral pact and serve you!"

"hehe."

Chen Lin couldn't help but smile.

When the Heavenly Profound Realm was mentioned, he did have some impression of it, since he didn't have many servants with whom he had signed bloodline contracts, only a few in total.

But Zhao Ziping and he only spent a short time together.

It seems that during the time of the Demon Suppression Realm, he left a spy in a city called the Four Seas Immortal City in order to deal with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect of the White-Clad Sword Saint He Jiuxiao.

He could remember this person because the timing of accepting the offer was special, representing one of the key moments in his life.

As the floodgates of memory opened, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

At that time, He Jiuxiao had feelings for Luo Qinglan and wanted to force her into marriage, so he risked his life to kill her.

Looking back now, it still feels a bit exhilarating.

Actually, he never expected that he and Luo Qinglan would get to where they are now, and that he himself would undergo such a dramatic change.

A moment of reminiscence.

Chen Lin composed himself.

Without asking about the other party's family, he casually took out a few treasures and some pills, put them into his storage bag, and threw them to the other party.

"Take these things and use them. Consider them a blessing from your ancestors. Whether they can resolve your family's crisis depends on fate. I don't need you to do anything more for me. You can cultivate on your own from now on."

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhao Qingchuan was overjoyed.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Chen Ling'er called out to the other party.

He took out a jade slip containing admission information and handed it to the other party.

"You have cultivated in the Tianxuan Realm before, so you should be very familiar with it. I have instructed you on a few things in the jade slip. Do them well, and you will be rewarded."

"I will obey the young master's decree!"

Zhao Qingchuan readily agreed.

Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chen Lin. Without waiting for the lottery, he chose to leave the ferry.

Chen Lin did not stop him.

Judging from his appearance, it was clear that his clan was in dire straits and was waiting for him to return and save them. The fact that he was able to come to this ship meant that he had received an excellent evaluation for his mission, meaning that his gains at that time must have been substantial and his strength must not have been weak.

To be forced into such a predicament under such circumstances must mean that the enemy's forces are very strong.

But that's all he can do to help.

When he took Zhao Ziping in, he had already given him enough benefits, so there was no need to care about his descendants. But the fact that Zhao Ziping came here in a moment of crisis and that he was able to run into him shows that their fate was not broken.

Then let's lend a hand.

"I'm willing to trade anything for anyone who has the Nine-Tentacle Conch and the Elf Maple Leaf. The two items look like this..."

With nothing else to do, Chen Lin showed the information about the two treasures to the people boarding the ship after him, not giving up any opportunity to acquire them.

pity.

No one responded.

Instead, they all followed suit and started trading as well.

Chen Ling'er also managed to trade for two treasures, so her trip wasn't in vain.

However, she had no points, and after one failure, she lost the right to continue trading, so she had no choice but to give up.

Two hours passed quickly.

Chen Lin and the others were getting anxious, not only because they were worried about the situation outside, but also because they were worried about Xiao Cao's safety.

So he asked Mingzhu.

"If my Daoist partner completes the mission, will he return here, or will he leave the Ferry of Life directly and return to the place where he entered in reality?"

"Reporting to Master, we should return to the mission hall first, and then make our own choice."

"However, she is not a star passenger, so her activity area on the ship is limited, and she cannot stay for too long."

"understood."

Chen Lin nodded.

As long as it can get back to this ship, the little grass will not go straight back.

That means they haven't come out of the mission yet.

or……

Chen Lin didn't want to think about that outcome.

"Can I accept life missions here?"

Hearing the two talking, Chen Ling'er couldn't help but ask a question.

"Don't create unnecessary trouble."

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Chen Lin immediately stopped her.

Chen Ling'er blinked.

She reached out and took out the first mate scroll she had obtained earlier.

It was handed over to Mingzhu.

"This is the first mate appointment document. I don't plan to use it. If you can use it, I'll give it to you. But you must listen to my father and never betray him."

Mingzhu was stunned.

With a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, he opened the scroll.

His eyes then flashed with a sharp light.

"You really gave this to me?"

She looked at Chen Ling'er with disbelief.

"Will you be able to use this? This is my perfect evaluation reward, it seems to be bound to your soul."

Chen Ling'er asked tentatively.

"It can be used, but some methods are needed."

Mingzhu clutched the scroll tightly, as if afraid that Chen Ling'er would want to go back.

"Then you can have it."

Chen Ling'er waved her hand, showing no sign of heartache.

Chen Lin, standing to the side, felt secretly gratified.

My daughter is becoming more and more mature. Although she is still a bit impulsive, she is not without any rules.

But immediately.

He smiled inwardly.

Chen Ling'er and he were not much different in age. In the eyes of low-level cultivators, she could be considered an ancient powerhouse, yet he still treated her like a child.

"Master, may I have it?"

Mingzhu clutched the scroll, seeking Chen Lin's opinion. As Chen Lin's maid, she couldn't make decisions on her own.

"Take it if you can use it."

Chen Lin nodded.

This maid is careless in her work, but her attitude is still good. People like this are easier to cultivate loyalty from.

"Thank you, Master!"

Mingzhu was overjoyed and carefully put the scroll away.

I hesitated for a moment.

She said, "Master's strength has improved so quickly. If you participate in the selection, you will definitely be able to make it onto the Heavenly Ranking and get the opportunity to participate in the trial."

Chen Lin looked at the other person in surprise.

This is not something a maid should say, and the other party never initiates casual conversation with him.

Mingzhu hesitated again, glancing at the back door where Angela had gone out.

Then he transmitted his voice and said, "I've heard that the Trial Grounds are very dangerous, but there are also some wondrous places. I overheard someone say that if you can get a secret order, you can enter the corresponding wondrous place and get a considerable number of trial points."

"If the master wants to participate in the trial, he must obtain a secret order; otherwise, he should find a way not to participate."

“The maid Mingzhu has violated the ship’s rules and is demoted to the third class, fined thirty human coins, and sentenced to three days of swimming punishment. If she commits another offense, her intelligence will be completely erased!”

As soon as Mingzhu finished transmitting her voice, a mechanical voice devoid of any emotion rang out in the hall.

Everyone looked surprised and doubtful.

Chen Lin's expression changed drastically.

Just as he was about to inquire about Mingzhu's condition, he saw her scream as she was locked in by a beam of light, transformed into a pigeon, and pulled into the top of the hall, disappearing from sight. "Father, this maid is quite good; she's grateful and repays kindness."

Chen Ling'er's eyes flickered.

Then he added, "But Father, you don't need to worry. She will only be punished and won't lose her life. If it gets serious, you will also be implicated."

"Hopefully."

Chen Lin sighed softly.

He then pondered the information provided by Mingzhu.

The fact that the other party risked their life to remind him must mean something extremely important. In other words, if he didn't obtain the secret order before participating in the Ascension Trial, he would have virtually no chance of survival.

As for what the secret order is.

Chen Lin believed it was a secret order from the mandarin duck planks.

When he received the Mandarin Duck Board, he was given a hint that the two boards together could be used to strike out a secret code, and his board was obtained from a lottery in the life mission.

The information Mingzhu received must have also come from the ferry, so the two must be related.

In that case...

We really need to hurry up and find another double-sided board; we can't get the secret code out with just one.

suddenly.

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

The next event is also a lucky draw; I wonder if there will be any prize draws.

If it really is true, and he is the one who gets selected, then it is undoubtedly all arranged by Hongchenke, and he probably can't escape the identity of the acting captain.

Even if he didn't participate in the selection process, it will still be attributed to him.

While pondering.

A figure flashed in the main seat, and Angela appeared.

He didn't look well.

Then a group of people filed in, with Yun Hai at the very front.

Chen Lin revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

The sense of destiny is also getting stronger.

"Alright, the top ten have been selected. Next, we'll draw a prize, followed by a banquet. Finally, the captain will personally decide on the acting captain. I wish you all good luck."

He waved his hand after saying that.

A rotating platform appeared above the main hall.

Chen Lin looked over expressionlessly. Just like the lottery wheel he had used before, it had several sections, each with a number on it.

But still, no pattern can be discerned.

The areas on the turntable kept changing, and the numbers kept shifting positions, making it increasingly confusing.

"Let's start the lottery. Those who passed the first round of screening will be selected according to their ranking. The rest of you will be in line."

Angela looked at the turntable.

"Did you see the numbers above? Choose one from each area, for a total of nine number combinations. Don't try to find a pattern; this is a result of the ferry's rules, and there's no pattern to follow."

After the rules are clarified.

The man from the cloud sea was the first to leap up and tap the top nine times.

Then a treasure chest appeared, shimmering with light. Chen Lin felt it was even more beautiful than the one he had obtained last time, and it was also the size of a palm.

pity.

The man from the Cloud Sea did not open the treasure chest directly, so he could not determine what was inside.

The second was a woman from another ethnic group.

He flashed to the front of the turntable, observed it for a while, and then pressed all nine numbers at once.

A treasure chest will appear.

However, this treasure chest is much larger, and it's no different from the normal reward chest. It doesn't look as high-end as the one from Yunhaishangren.

The foreign woman's expression was not good.

He slapped the treasure chest with his palm, and the chest crumbled, revealing a ship ticket.

The woman was even more disappointed.

Without a word, he grabbed the ticket and leaped to the ground.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

The ticket to the ferry of life is actually quite precious, since it requires a perfect evaluation to obtain. He was very proud of himself for a long time when he got that ticket.

However, since those who passed the second round of screening all received a boat ticket reward, it seemed rather pointless.

Even so.

This also shows that the prize level of this lottery is not low, and it is worth looking forward to. Maybe you can really get the Nine-Touched Divine Conch.

My thoughts wandered.

The top ten contestants all completed the lottery, and all of them received treasure chests. Since no one opened them directly, no one knows what's inside.

Chen Lin felt somewhat helpless.

In this situation, even if someone draws the Nine-Touched Divine Conch and the Elf Maple Leaf, they cannot trade them and can only rely on their own luck.

After the top ten, there are those who have passed the first round of screening.

One after another.

The lottery draw was completed in about half an hour.

However, no one drew a palm-sized treasure chest anymore; they were all normal-sized, only differing in the light they emitted.

Chen Lin glanced at the man in the cloud sea.

He couldn't help but wonder if the other party's treasure chest might also contain a secret order, but since the other party was standing next to Angela, he had no chance to ask, and the other party was unlikely to tell him.

Next.

It was the turn of these 'veteran' passengers.

They were also ranked by level, with the two two-star passengers at the front, and then ranked according to the time they obtained their star-level passenger status. Chen Lin was placed at the back.

But the same.

None of the people before me got the palm-sized treasure chest.

After arriving in Chenlin.

He flew to the spinning wheel without hesitation, his palm enveloped in the symbols of law, shielding him from everyone's prying eyes, and quickly clicked the same nine numbers as before.

This was something he had thought about carefully.

He wanted to try and see if he could get another plank using this method.

Compared to the current crisis, the Trial of Ascension is far more dangerous, and it is almost certain that he will participate, so obtaining the plank is also very important.

As for the dangers in reality.

With the Great Victory Ascension Pill and other treasures, as long as the Heavenly Lake Fisherman's clone doesn't return, he can protect himself even if he can't break the seal.

However, to Chen Lin's surprise...

After entering nine numbers, I only got a standard treasure chest, and its light wasn't the most dazzling.

He returned with a frown.

Without hesitation, I opened the treasure chest.

Inside is a secret manual.

Reasoning and Research on Mysterious Characters

Chen Lin frowned even more deeply after glancing at the name on the cover.

He could use this reward, and it would fit his needs perfectly, but it wasn't what he needed most right now. When he used his talent to correct his fate before, he only imagined the Nine-Tentacle Conch and the Elf Maple Leaf, and he hadn't thought about this thing.

It seems that talent didn't have any effect.

"Father, don't worry, I'm here for you."

Chen Ling'er comforted her from the side.

It was her turn, so she leaped up and landed in front of the turntable.

Without thinking.

Tap your finger repeatedly to display the nine numbers.

The radiance flows and shifts.

A treasure chest the size of a palm appeared.

This scene immediately caused a commotion, even Angela looked at it with surprise, and the man from Yunhai next to her looked gloomy.

Chen Lin's expression changed.

He hoped Chen Ling'er would obtain the treasure she needed, but he didn't want her to be too outstanding, as that would make her easy for Wen Chenke to covet. He would rather risk his life against a powerful ruler than encounter his daughter in the trial.

That choice was too cruel.

"You're lucky."

Chen Ling'er flew back, her tone somewhat excited.

Then tap it gently.

The treasure chest immediately crumbled, revealing its contents.
