I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2347 Resurrection
Upon hearing Chen Lin's question, Dugu Xiu also looked over.

"That used to be the sacred ground of the Sun family. It was originally connected to the First Peak, but because it offended an unparalleled expert, the clan leader Sun Houwu was killed."

"That mysterious expert possessed extraordinary abilities. It is said that with just one strike, he wiped out the Sun family, which was known for its defensive capabilities, leaving only some low-level disciples outside."

"Later, it faded into obscurity."

Dugu Xiu's tone was tinged with regret.

Looking at the floating mountain peak, he said, "The aura of rules left by that powerful figure has never dissipated, making it unsuitable for living and cultivation. It has been deserted for countless years."

"The disciples of the Sun family have never appeared again."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He tentatively asked, "It is said that the five major families of Wudaopo are closely related. Didn't the other four families help you back then?"

"I don't know about that."

Dugu Xiu shook her head.

"That was a long time ago, and very little information remains. It seems that the current four major families only rose to prominence after the Sun family was destroyed."

"I see."

Chen Lin did not ask any further questions.

In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. The rise of every power is filled with bloodshed and violence. The victor reigns supreme, and the truth is irrelevant.

It has nothing to do with him.

then.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Lin suggested going to see the territories of the other three families, but Dugu Xiu refused, saying that the clan leader's permission was required.

Losing interest, he flew towards his courtyard.

"Xiuer, so you've been here all along! I've been looking for you everywhere."

Before they even returned to the courtyard, three figures blocked their way, with the pale-faced youth in the lead speaking with a smile.

"Xiahou Ling, didn't I tell you not to call me Xiu'er? My name is Dugu Xiu!"

Upon seeing the other person, Dugu Xiu's face immediately turned cold, and he rebuked them in a deep voice.

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.

He glanced at the three people opposite him.

Besides the pale-faced youth, there was a woman dressed as a maid and an old man in black, who, judging from his posture, should be a servant.

While other families could fly around freely with their servants and maids, this Xiahou Ling was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Xiuer, I just returned from the Fallen Leaf Sect and traded for a top-grade golden leaf, which is perfect for you, so I didn't even go home and sent it to you immediately."

Xiahou Ling took out a golden leaf and presented it to Dugu Xiu as if it were a treasure.

Then he looked at Chen Lin.

His tone turned cold. "Who are you? What are you doing here? What is your relationship with Xiuer?"

As they questioned him, they approached him, their oppressive aura growing stronger, as if they were about to attack.

"Xiahou Ling, what are you doing? This is my Dugu family, not a place for you to run wild!"

Dugu Xiu was furious upon seeing this.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Chen Lin, a small golden sword pattern faintly flashing between his brows.

"You're protecting him!"

Xiahou Ling's expression grew even colder upon seeing this.

With a flick of the wrist.

A fiery red spear appeared in his hand, its tip pointing at Chen Lin as he said, "What kind of skill is it to hide behind a woman? If you're a man, let's fight and see what you've got!"

Chen Lin was both amused and exasperated.

This person's cultivation is also eternal; even if his cultivation years are not ten thousand years, they must be several thousand years. Yet he still acts like a teenager, getting jealous and arguing without distinguishing right from wrong.

He didn't want to fight the other person like a fool.

He shook his head and was about to leave.

suddenly.

He looked surprised for a moment.

He touched the jade pendant in the cave with his palm, and then stopped moving.

Pushing aside Dugu Xiu, who was glaring angrily at him and whose brow was radiating golden light, he slowly took two steps forward.

He glanced at the tip of the other person's gun.

He said calmly, "A fight is not out of the question, but I never do things that are a waste of effort; I have to add a prize."

"The prize?"

Huangfu Ling was stunned.

He then brandished his spear and said, "Fine, tell me your conditions. I only have one condition: if you lose, you are not allowed to come near Xiuer again!"

"hehe."

Chen Lin scoffed.

“Miss Xiu’er is a person, and more importantly, a member of the Dugu family. She is not a commodity. Neither of us has the right to use her as a bet; that would be disrespectful to her.”

Ignore the other person's unpleasant expression.

Chen Lin continued speaking.

"We are all guests of the Dugu family, and it is not appropriate for us to fight fiercely in this life. How about this, we each make a move, and then we leave our lives to fate."

"You can go first."

"If you win, you can do whatever you want, even take my life. If I win, I only want one treasure you possess, and I want you to apologize to Miss Xiuer."

"How about it?"

"Is this request alright?"

"Little Lord!"

Upon hearing Chen Lin's words, the old man behind Huangfu Ling immediately stepped forward, attempting to stop him.

Huangfu Ling was furious.

Ignoring the old man's advice, he gritted his teeth and said to Chen Lin, "You asked for this. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Don't blame me when you die!"

Done.

His figure soared into the air, his spear transforming into a fire dragon, and he unleashed a powerful strike at Chen Lin!
Chen Lin didn't move.

He stood calmly in place, letting the spears strike him, and the raging flames engulfed him.

But Huangfu Ling's expression changed.

After the flames subsided, Chen Lin was completely unharmed, not even a single hair on his head was burned, and he was still looking at him with a half-smile.

"you!"

He instinctively took two steps back.

"It's my turn."

Chen Lin flicked his finger, and the crystal needle turned into a gray-white light, striking the opponent's face directly.

"Humph!"

Huangfu Ling gave a light hum, and a yellowish-brown jade pendant hanging from his waist burst forth with dazzling light, forming a yellowish-brown light shield around him, with runes constantly flashing on it.

But it didn't work.

With a gentle prick of the crystal needle, the light shield burst open like a bubble, instantly flashing to the center of the forehead.

"Little Lord!"

"do not want!"

The old man and Huangfu Ling's maid both exclaimed in surprise.

Dugu Xiu, who was watching the commotion, also turned pale, worried that Chen Lin might kill someone in a fit of anger, which would be difficult to handle.

However, Chen Lin had no intention of killing anyone.

An Eternal Perfection cultivator posed no threat to him while alive, but killing him would offend the Huangfu family to death, which would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

The crystal needle landed steadily on Huangfu Ling's brow.

The released power of the rules suppressed him so much that he could not move, his face flushed red, and he was filled with shock, fear, anger and helplessness.

"Please have mercy, my lord. My young master meant no harm."

The old man leaped forward.

However, as soon as they got close, they were suppressed by the aura of the crystal needles and could only plead repeatedly.

"Don't worry, if I wanted to kill him, he would have been annihilated long ago."

Chen Lin put the crystal needle back.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the jade pendant at Huangfu Ling's waist flew into his hand. After looking at it, he put it into his sleeve.

"As agreed, if I win, I can take one of your treasures. How about this jade pendant? Its power isn't that great, but its design is quite beautiful."

"Now."

Chen Lin stepped back, making way for Dugu Xiu.

He said calmly, "You can apologize now."

"Shhhhh!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than several figures flew in and landed nearby. "What's going on? I sensed fluctuations in the power of the rules. Could it be that you've made your move?"

The leader was a burly man with a full beard, wearing armor that resembled dragon scales, and he looked at the group with an imposing aura.

"Greetings, Third Grand Uncle."

Dugu Xiu hurriedly greeted him and gave a brief introduction, mainly about Chen Lin's identity, since Chen Lin had gone into seclusion after arriving here and few people in the family had seen him.

"I see."

The burly man glanced at Xiahou Ling, then at Chen Lin.

He waved his hand and said, "This is a misunderstanding. Both of you are guests of my Dugu family. There's no need to make things unpleasant. How about we give you face and each take a step back to let this go?"

"I don't care."

Chen Lin shook his robes.

"Anyway, this young master Huangfu is the one who humiliated your Dugu family, it has nothing to do with me. If you don't care, then I, as an outsider, naturally have even less objection."

These words caused the burly man's face to turn pale and then flushed.

However, it did not manifest.

After giving Chen Lin a deep look, he said to Huangfu Ling, "For the sake of Clan Chief Huangfu, I will not pursue your behavior today, but you are hereby forbidden from setting foot in our clan for a hundred years. Now leave immediately!"

"I……"

Before Huangfu Ling could say anything more, the old man immediately stopped him and then pulled him away hastily.

After the three figures disappeared.

The burly man clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Lin: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please forgive my presumption. The four great families are closely connected, and Young Master Huangfu is the most beloved junior of the Huangfu Clan Chief. It is indeed not easy to handle."

"Understandable."

Chen Lin nodded.

Without saying anything more, he cupped his hands in greeting and flew towards his own courtyard.

He was just a passerby and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the four major families. Moreover, he had already achieved his goal, and the current outcome was the best possible result.

Dugu Xiu's expression changed several times.

He followed Chen Linfei.

The two returned to the room one after the other. Chen Lin casually asked, "Huangfu Ling's identity is so special, how could he take a fancy to a woman from a collateral branch like you? Is there something about you that he covets?"

Dugu Xiu paused.

She bit her lip.

“Huangfu Ling wants to cultivate the Sun family’s Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique. I am a Metal Spirit Body, and he wants me to be his furnace.”

"A cauldron?"

Chen Lin frowned.

"Does your clan chief know about this? Did he agree to it?"

Dugu Xiu fell silent for a moment.

He sighed and said, "The clan leader neither agreed nor objected, so Huangfu Ling often harassed me. However, he didn't force me to do anything; he just kept trying to win me over with treasures."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

If the other party wasn't using their status to suppress the other party, but merely using the guise of pursuing them, it's possible that Dugu Batian would turn a blind eye. After all, the other party was just a member of a collateral branch, and the Golden Spirit Body wasn't particularly unusual in the Star Ruins.

Is the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique very powerful?

Chen Lin continued to ask questions.

"I don't know how powerful it is, but it is said that this technique can help one advance to the level of a ruler. However, it has extremely high requirements for aptitude and requires a huge amount of the five elements to assist it, which is very resource-intensive."

Speaking of it.

Dugu Xiu bowed deeply.

"Thank you, sir, for rescuing me today and allowing me a hundred years of peace and quiet."

"It's none of your business."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

I thought about it.

He took out some spiritual fruits and handed them to the other party, saying, "I can't help you much. You can only rely on yourself for this. As long as you show enough value, your family will naturally not allow Huangfu Ling to covet you."

"Thank you, sir."

Dugu Xiu accepted the spiritual fruit and tactfully took her leave.

Chen Lin composed himself.

He reached out his hand.

He took out Huangfu Ling's jade pendant, examined it for a while, and then took out a special container from the cave.

There is also the mortal world.

"What's wrong, Master? Do you need my help?"

Hongchen observed the surrounding environment and, seeing that there was no danger, turned her attention to the table.

"Ah."

Chen Lin hummed in agreement.

Gently open the container to reveal its contents.

It is a cocoon.

The cocoon contains a wisp of Sun Caiyi's remnant soul.

This wisp of remnant soul was extremely weak, barely even qualifying as a remnant soul. He tried everything he could to restore its vitality, but to no avail. His earlier words to Chen Ling'er that she could be resurrected once a suitable body was merely words of comfort.

However, when he first encountered Huangfu Ling, the jade pendant on the other party caused his remnant soul to react.

The fact that the treasure could react even through the cave suggests that the two must be closely related.

Chen Lin picked up the jade pendant.

After a moment's hesitation, he placed it next to the cocoon of light.

The fluorescence on the cocoon suddenly brightened slightly, and a faint sense of life appeared.

"The mortal world!"

Seeing this, Chen Lin immediately ordered Hong Chen to take action.

He also released the Dharma character, which, together with the fate character of the mortal world, enveloped the jade pendant and the cocoon of light.

"Buzz!"

Both trembled simultaneously.

Followed by.

With the blessing of the life-destiny character, the cocoon of light grew increasingly vibrant and gave rise to a thought.

"Let me...out..."

Chen Lin understood the remnant soul's meaning and was overjoyed. He immediately manipulated the magic characters to open the seal on the light cocoon and increased his vigilance to prevent any accidents.

The seal was broken.

The cocoon of light suddenly cracked open, and Sun Caiyi's remnant soul flew out and entered the jade pendant next to it.

Then the jade pendant slowly 'melted'.

Getting smaller and smaller.

After about an incense stick's time, the entire jade pendant disappeared, while Sun Caiyi's remnant soul became much more solid, and its outline became clearly visible.

Chen Lin was somewhat dazed.

Although it was just a soul, its appearance was exactly the same as Sun Caiyi's, which made him recall his time in the lower realm. Back then, his cultivation was low, and he was always walking on thin ice. She and Qin Lingyu were his spiritual support.

"Thank you for saving me."

The spirit studied Chen Lin for a while, then slowly transmitted its voice.

Chen Lin's expression froze.

Put away the memories.

She took a deep breath and said, "Don't you remember me?"

"Should I remember you? Who are you? Now that you mention it, I think I have a vague impression, but I can't quite recall."

Sun Caiyi frowned in thought, but finally shook her head.

"Then do you remember who you are?"

Chen Lin asked expectantly.

"I?"

"By the way, who am I?"

Sun Caiyi once again appeared deep in thought, seemingly due to overexertion, causing her newly formed soul body to become unstable.

Seeing this, Chen Lin quickly stopped him.

"If you can't remember, then don't think about it for now. Your soul is not stable yet. It would be better to find a spiritual body to inhabit first. In your case, without a physical body to nourish it, it would be difficult for your soul to be sustained for a long time."

"The body?"

Sun Caiyi tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"It seems I don't need to. I remember I know a technique that can condense a physical body based on the soul. What was it called again? Right, I think it was called the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique."
