I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2335 Marriage Contract
Chen Lin frowned as he looked at the words on the cover.

It turns out that viewing information is a two-way process; one can see others, and others can see one, and as long as a fee is paid, one cannot refuse.

I glanced at the text below.

There are five requirements in total: name, appearance, background, cultivation level, and talent.

That does fit the criteria for choosing a partner.

After a moment's thought, Chen Lin completed the information.

He didn't want to accept the punishment of ten variegated crystals, nor did he want to fall out with Furong Tower, so he could only follow their rules.

The name will be Lin Feiyu, and the appearance will be the current appearance, which will be infused into the picture book with divine sense.

But immediately.

Chen Lin felt a force of rules emanating from the book, exerting a terrifying pressure on him and making him involuntarily want to modify the information.

He immediately activated the magic characters to resist.

The oppressive aura slowly dissipated, but the information he had entered into the album also disappeared.

"Can't you lie?"

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

However, he didn't want to reveal his true identity, even when facing unknown strangers, so he continued to try to input the data.

But no matter what I did, it didn't work.

The high-dimensional methods that had worked every time in the Seven Star Realm became useless here. Although they could resist the pressure of the rules, they could not suppress the rules and leave the information on the album.

Chen Lin frowned.

I thought about it.

He stood up and walked to the side. With a sway, his true soul body was condensed and sat in the chair in place of his original body.

Use your soul to input information.

She still chose Lin Feiyu and his current appearance.

The album once again generated the power of rules, exerting pressure on him, but this time Chen Lin did not resist, allowing the power of rules to erode him.

The rapid depletion of his soul essence quickly triggered 'that characteristic'.

At this time.

The power of rules generated by the book suddenly became 'docile', not only losing its oppressive aura but also giving off a sense of submission.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He then filled in all the remaining information according to his ideas.

The power of the rules faded, and no further anomalies appeared in the picture book; the information remained stable on it.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Lin gained a new understanding of 'that characteristic'.

This characteristic should be a higher-level rule, or an energy that is not under the control of this world. If we can discover how to use it, it may become a key bargaining chip to escape this world.

Unfortunately.

Aside from the phoenix-crowned woman in the secret realm of the Linglong Sect, almost no one knows about that characteristic. Even if Ye Changge doesn't explicitly mention it, finding a way to use this power would probably be extremely difficult.

As he pondered, Chen Lin merged his true soul into his body.

I glanced at the catalog again.

His portrait above faded quickly, and then a cold and beautiful woman appeared, accompanied by a text below.

"Yue Bingling, the eldest daughter of the Yue family in the Hanchuan Realm, has cultivated for 3,700 years and has reached the initial stage of the Eternal Realm. She possesses an ancient and exotic bloodline and is expected to awaken her original source. She wishes to become your soulmate and explore the Great Dao together."

Do you agree?

After reading the text, Chen Lin couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Could it be that I am truly blessed with a "divine body for marriage," able to make beautiful women throw themselves into my arms even with false information?

I felt a little smug.

Chen Lin still chose to refuse.

He came to Furong Tower only to inquire about Chen Siyang and Wen Siyue, and had no intention of finding a Daoist partner. No matter what the other party's conditions were, he would not consider it.

However, it's quite a coincidence that the other party also comes from the Hanchuan Realm. After meeting Ning Yu, I can inquire about her information and see what the standards for classifying the Furong Tower are.

"Buzz!"

Chen Lin entered the rejection message and was about to stand up from his chair when the album suddenly trembled.

Followed by.

A token pattern shaped like a yin-yang symbol appeared above.

A line of text appeared.

"The other party has used the Yin-Yang Token and has formed a Daoist partnership with you. This partnership is recognized by Furong Tower and has been registered."

"Please keep your marriage certificate safe."

After the text was displayed, the picture book disintegrated into a ball of light, and then reformed into a document with a double lotus pattern.

It fell into Chen Lin's hands.

Chen Lin frowned as he examined it.

The document contained information about him and Yue Bingling, and was stamped with the mark of Furong Tower, faintly exuding an aura of order.

His expression darkened.

Furonglou actually managed to force a marriage and even issue a certificate. Although it may not have any real binding force, it still left him speechless.

And it's not without its impact.

After all, the Yin-Yang Sect is one of the top ten sects, and the Hibiscus Pavilion, as one of its subsidiaries, may encounter some unexpected twists and turns once it gains their recognition.

"Someone come here!"

Chen Lin immediately called over the receptionist and asked in a cold voice.

"Isn't your Furong Pavilion supposed to find Daoist partners voluntarily? How can you still be engaging in such coercive practices? Are you perhaps deceiving us?"

"You've misunderstood, sir."

The receptionist hurriedly explained.

"This marriage contract is merely an item made within the Hibiscus Pavilion and has no binding force. If you disagree, you can simply ignore it, or you can cancel this contract by paying the same price as the other party."

"hehe."

Chen Lin was amused by the other person's words.

Runes immediately surrounded his body, unleashing an extremely powerful aura.

He said coldly, "You've got some tricks up your sleeve, but you've misjudged the person. Cancel the document right now, or don't blame me for being impolite. I want to see what tricks your Furong Pavilion has up its sleeve to dare to play tricks on its guests like this!"

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down."

As a gentle voice rang out, a woman exuding an air of nobility walked in from outside the door.

He gave Chen Lin a slight bow.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be angry. Although my disciple speaks frankly, he has no intention of belittling me."

"Fellow Daoist is a rune cultivator, so you should know the principle that the operation of rules cannot be changed. Hibiscus Pavilion is a treasure of rules, and even I, as the pavilion master, must abide by the rules that have been set."

"Therefore, I hope you will understand, fellow Daoist."

Before Chen Lin could speak.

The woman then took out a small bottle.

He handed it to Chen Lin and said, "This time, our establishment has indeed failed to provide adequate hospitality. We did not explain the rules to you in advance as required. Consider this colorful crystal marrow as an apology."

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

He said that with such a great reputation as Furonglou, it was unlikely that they would gain profits through deception. It turned out that He Wuzhao had not informed him of the rules beforehand.

"I see. Then I will not pursue the matter further. That little girl must have been intimidated by my aura and was so nervous that she forgot to explain the rules."

He Wu took off his clothes.

Chen Lin took the small bottle, said nothing more, and left Furong Tower directly.

His two children were still in the Yin-Yang Sect, and as their father, he couldn't offer them any help, nor could he afford to make enemies for them. So even though he was unhappy, he still held back.

Moreover, the poster's attitude was quite proper, and they even gave him a bottle of Variegated Crystal Essence, so there was no need to make a fuss any further.

Chen Lin walked on the streets of the market.

Continue browsing the various shops.

Despite this unexpected incident, he remained in good spirits because he had received news that Wen Siyue was cultivating on Yin-Yang Island, which meant Chen Siyang must be there as well. After all, they were both his offspring, and he couldn't truly be indifferent.

Now that I know they are both safe and sound, I no longer feel burdened and can focus on my own things.

I went around in circles.

Chen Lin pondered his next plan.

the most important.

Still, I'll collect the Nine-Tentacle Conch.

Secondly, I need to go to the three rooms and ask about the Zosiwen node. The woman who was tied up is too strange, and I won't feel at ease until I find out the truth.

Next, we'll visit Tiger Hill and the River of Hope.

But these two aren't urgent.

Since the agreed time has already passed, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

With things on his mind, Chen Lin stopped wandering around and headed towards the New Sprout Grocery Store.

As soon as they entered the room, Xinya stepped forward to report, "Reporting to Master, Young Master Ning said that his family has summoned him back and he has already left. He asked me to give this to you."

"gone?"

Chen Lin was somewhat taken aback.

He wanted to find out more about Yue Bingling, but it seems he won't have the chance.

"Yes, Master. Young Master Ning said that the Hanchuan Realm has won the right to host the Realm Exchange Conference, which is held once every three thousand years. There are still five hundred years before the conference begins. Other realm forces have joined this time, making it a large-scale event. That's why he is in a hurry to go back and assist the family in making preparations."

"Oh."

Chen Lin nodded and took the items.

It's an invitation.

He was invited to visit the Ning family in the Hanchuan region during the exchange conference.

The Ning family's place is listed above, and with this invitation, he can use the normal boundary passage instead of 'sneaking' into the River of Rules.

Chen Lin put the invitation away.

He said to the new sprout, "I'm leaving here. I don't know when I'll be back. If it takes too long, you don't have to stay here. You can leave whenever you want."

"I will go to my master whenever he summons me."

The new sprout answered immediately.

Chen Lin didn't say anything more. The other party was currently affected by the rules of the lamp pot. As time went on, the power of the rules would weaken, and their thoughts would naturally change.

And he probably won't come back here again.

He then gave another explanation.

Chen Lin purchased a flying artifact and left Deer Island.

He already has a plan.

First, go to the market near the Thousand Towers Ruins and see if you can buy the Nine-Touched Divine Conch. If not, buy an extra Variegated Crystal.

It would be best to buy some more variegated quartz.

This item can also quickly restore the energy of the Seven Star Spoon, which is his source of confidence when walking through the Star Ruins. As long as he can activate it at any time, his strength can be greatly enhanced.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If he had known he could obtain a treasure like the Seven Star Spoon, he would have collected more Star Spirits instead of being so strapped for cash.

As for the Star Spirit, it seems to be a specialty of the Seven Star Realm, and no one in the entire Kashima Market has ever heard of it.

The ruins of a thousand pagodas.

Chen Lin urged the spirit boat to arrive nearby.

From a distance, they look like mountain peaks floating in the void, stretching endlessly.

This area also serves as a watershed, dividing the entire void in two: the area in front is a zone of light, while behind it lies endless darkness.

It was like seeing a vast, boundless black wall that blocked out the light.

I observed for a while.

Chen Lin suppressed his desire to explore and flew towards the gray giant tower whose location he had scouted beforehand.

A month later.

After exploring all the open areas, Chen Lin re-entered the void, his face filled with disappointment.

The Nine-Tentacle Conch was not found.

He did come across a piece of the variegated crystal marrow, but he didn't have the item the seller specified for the transaction, so he had to miss out.

no way.

Chen Lin continued his journey through the Star Ruins, heading towards Wudaopo as planned.

Dugu Batian's family is located there.

During the last life mission, the other party also survived. He had promised the other party that if he advanced to the level of Punisher, he would help the other party to get rid of the strange power and restore the other party to his male form.

This is a good excuse to contact them and see if they can find the Nine-Tentacle Conch.

If you can't find it.

Then let's ask them to help us get an invitation to enter the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace. Given their status as a Sovereign Realm expert, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, Wudaopo is located on the same side as Tiger Hill, so he can also visit it on the way.

Although Nana's talisman was removed, he was still very curious about Tiger Hill.

I want to see what the Everlasting Vine looks like, and whether it's related to the one left behind by the Shadow Scholar.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Lin sat on the spirit boat and cultivated, letting the little white snake control the flight. Every once in a while, it would make a short-distance void traverse.

It is faster than using a teleportation technique.

even so.

It takes decades to reach Wudaopo.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Let alone him, even ordinary Sovereign-level powerhouses would find traveling in the Star Ruins a major challenge. The energy level here is too high, and there are also rules that restrict travel, making it difficult to use long-distance travel or teleportation arrays.

Perhaps those superpowers have the means, but he has no way of getting in touch with them.

"Master, we're almost at the desert. Should we go around it, or go straight through?"

The little white snake asked.

Then he complained, "Why didn't Master bring that pig demon out with him? It's so boring being left out here all by myself."

"It eats too much; I can't afford to feed it."

Chen Lin replied and flew to the bow of the boat.

Gazing into the distant void.

There were no unusual phenomena, it was just a little dark.

However, according to the map on the scroll, this area is one of the well-known dangerous areas in the eastern part of Star Ruins.

It is known as the desert.

There is a lot of sand and gravel that has formed for some unknown reason, covering a very wide area, and it would take a lot of time to get around it.

The Star Ruins exist in a different form than the Seven Star Realms.

Although everything is three-dimensional with no defined boundaries in any direction, only the 'middle' area is suitable for survival. The areas above are governed by extremely strong rules, and only a sovereign can venture there.

of course.

If one can withstand the erosion of the rules, it will also benefit one's cultivation.

Therefore, apart from naturally formed special places, the sovereigns cultivate in the upper levels, which can be considered as separating them from ordinary cultivators, so that ordinary cultivators don't have to live in fear of being easily wiped out by the sovereigns.

If we go down...

The power of the rules became extremely chaotic, and even though Chen Lin tried, he couldn't delve into it for very long.

"No need to go around, just go straight through."

Chen Lin has no time to waste, and with his strength, as long as he is careful, crossing the desert shouldn't be a problem.

There's no need to take a detour.

"Yes, my dear master, hold on tight, I'm about to speed up!"

The little white snake gave a warning, and the spirit boat trembled violently, transforming into a streak of light and shooting away.
