I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2350 Offering
Chen Lin flashed and landed in a small room.

There was nothing around except a gray-white mask hanging on the wall with a number written on it.

Thirty-six.

This represents the order in which they entered, not their cultivation level or strength.

It is also an identification number.

As Chen Lin removed the mask and put it on his face, he felt his world change instantly.

What lay before them was no longer a cramped room, but a magnificent hall with a giant platform in the center, where beautiful female cultivators of all styles were singing and dancing.

The song and dance have a mysterious artistic conception, which makes people unconsciously immerse themselves in it.

My state of mind has actually improved.

But Chen Lin did not continue watching. Instead, he looked around and then turned his gaze back to wait quietly.

He was relieved to find out that the transaction method was the same as what he had learned, and that way he wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by his enemies.

Otherwise, the Azure Heaven Palace has a very wide reach, and forces such as the Heavenly God Palace would inevitably participate.

You might even encounter the old fisherman of Tianhu Lake.

Although the intervention of Langdang Mountain made forces such as Four Seasons Villa somewhat wary, they still tried to avoid it as much as possible.

It didn't take long.

The singing and dancing on the high platform stopped, and a sweet-looking female cultivator walked up, dressed in a snow-white dress, like a childhood sweetheart from next door.

White Jade.

Information about this woman surfaced in Chen Lin's mind.

The Azure Peak Heavenly Palace has a total of six leaders, three men and three women. Their appearances are not fixed, but all of them are terrifyingly powerful.

This Bai Lingyu looks innocent and harmless, with a well-behaved appearance, but in reality, she is a super strong person who once killed a troublesome third-tier ruler.

The lowest order is fourth order.

With high-level rulers rarely venturing out, mid-level rulers are the top-tier beings in the Star Ruins.

There are at least six such entities in the Azure Heaven Palace.

This is also why the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace has stood firm and no one dares to provoke it. No one knows the origin of this force, and its six powerful leaders have never shown their faces to the outside world.

Chen Lin was also very curious.

Putting everything else aside, the ability to instantly bring someone here with just an invitation is something that cannot be done by ordinary means. After all, even a ruler-level expert in the Star Ruins cannot teleport over long distances.

This is enough to deter all forces.

"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to our palace's once-in-a-century trading conference."

"My name is Bai Lingyu."

"I will be the one to preside over this conference. If you have any questions, you can communicate with me directly via telepathy."

"Now I'll explain the trading rules."

“Each fellow Daoist has an identification number on their mask. We will still follow the order of first come, first served, with the first Daoist to enter trading first, and then proceeding in turn.”

"The mask will remind you when it's your turn."

"in addition."

"Any treasures offered for trade, if I need them, will have absolute priority in the transaction under the same conditions. Fellow Daoists, please remember this to avoid any friction later."

"If you are not satisfied with this rule, you can leave now..."

The rules were explained once.

Bai Lingyu stretched out her hand, and a mutton-fat jade bottle appeared in her palm.

Upon opening, a snow-white pill was poured out, perfectly round and exuding a refreshing fragrance, along with a wonderful rhythm, as if melodious singing was emanating from within.

"The singer's blessing".

"A superior-grade elixir, made from the Seven-Leaf Songstress Grass and several other spiritual herbs, can increase the success rate of anything you do, and is also effective for Dominator cultivators."

Bai Lingyu demonstrated and explained at the same time.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

This is really good stuff.

Its effects are similar to his innate abilities, but without any backlash. Moreover, his innate abilities become very weak when they involve dominant powerhouses.

It might even lure unknown powerful individuals into the realm of talent.

But he quickly calmed down.

Such a wondrous elixir was beyond his ability to compete for. The four-leaf sage grass was already at the Dominator level, so one could only imagine what level the seven-leaf one was at; its value was immeasurable.

really.

Bai Lingyu's next request brought a wry smile to Chen Lin's face.

"This pill can be exchanged for a Linglong Treasure Chest. Fellow Daoist, if you are willing, you can say so now. First come, first served. Such a spiritual pill is very rare."

Chen Lin shook his head.

He had never even heard of the Linglong Treasure Chest before, and didn't know what it was for, but it should be unrelated to the Linglong Sect he had visited.

Unexpected.

After a dozen or so breaths, no one offered to make a deal, which led to a somewhat awkward silence.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He tried to ask telepathically, "Senior, could you describe the appearance of the exquisite treasure chest? I don't know what this treasure chest is, and I'm not sure if I have it on me."

"That means there isn't one."

Bai Lingyu's voice then rang in my mind.

Chen Lin grinned.

The other party could definitely tell his cultivation level. They probably knew that such a treasure was not something a cultivator of his level could possess, so it was impossible for him to take the opportunity to gather information.

I can only find out when I get back.

After waiting for a while longer.

After remaining silent, Bai Lingyu put away the elixir.

Then he flicked his wrist.

Ten identical purple vials landed on the table.

"Ten bottles of variegated crystal marrow, sold separately. Those who want them can make their own offer, and I will choose who to trade with."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Lin also pondered what he could trade.

After thinking it over, he really didn't have anything worth mentioning. He had prepared two treasures for the trade, but they were intended for the Nine-Tension Divine Conch and couldn't be used here.

But I'm not willing to do nothing.

So he took out some high-dimensional treasures that he himself did not recognize or did not intend to use, and transmitted them one by one to Bai Lingyu on the stage.

"No need for further explanation. Just show me what you want to trade. If you don't mind, I can also take a look at your storage treasures. I'll tell you what's valuable."

Bai Lingyu's voice rang out.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Lin decided not to let the other party scan the storage treasures, but instead took out the items one by one.

he knows.

If the other party wanted to see his storage space, they could definitely do so, but since they said so, they probably wouldn't do something that would damage the reputation of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace.

soon.

A bunch of things were taken out.

There was an irregular crystal, two jet-black fingernails, and some talismans, all left behind by the Supreme Feng Hua.

There were also some spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines, and a lot of high-dimensional spoils. After thinking for a moment, he also took out the dragonfly headdress, the seven-colored nightmare coins, and other items that he didn't need.

After arranging them, send a telepathic message to the other party to check.

"It's all garbage."

Bai Lingyu responded without any politeness.

Chen Lin's lips twitched.

However, he didn't have high hopes. These things were mysterious in the Seven Star Realm, but they were just ordinary in the Star Ruins, let alone attracting a mid-level ruler.

no way.

They could only reluctantly put it away.

However, the allure of the colorful crystal marrow was too great for him. After hesitating for a while, he transferred some important items and then let the other party scan the storage treasure.

A powerhouse of Bai Lingyu's caliber could easily multiply into millions of forms, and communicating with everyone present at the same time would be a piece of cake.

Chen Lin had just applied when her divine sense swept over him.

"what."

After completing the investigation, Bai Lingyu let out a soft exclamation.

Then the two items appeared automatically.

Several dark green mineral stones, and a painting.

Chen Lin was somewhat surprised. These two items came from the Linglong Sect's treasury. He had studied them but hadn't figured them out, nor did he think they were any great treasures. He never expected that they would be chosen by the other party.

"These things are fine, but we can exchange them for one bottle. Do you agree?"

"agree."

Chen Lin immediately agreed.

Although anything that the other party has their eye on must be extraordinary, the immediate priority is to focus on the present. With the Variegated Crystal Marrow, he can use the Seven Star Spoon, which is crucial for his safety.

It can also help sever the bond between self and others, and heal injuries.

It's useful in many ways.

"Then count you as one."

As Bai Lingyu finished speaking, all the items disappeared, and a bottle containing crystal marrow appeared in the room.

Chen Lin picked it up and examined it.

Then, satisfied, he put it into his storage ingot.

"Would you be willing to accept my employment and become my retainer?"

Just as Chen Lin thought the transaction was over and was about to watch the show, Bai Lingyu's voice rang out again.

He was stunned.

He immediately asked, "This junior is just an unknown rogue cultivator. Is there anything about me that could catch the eye of a senior like me?"

“Xing Jun”.

Bai Lingyu's words were concise and to the point.

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

He thought it was because his 'that characteristic' had been discovered. It turns out he was the Punisher King. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Now that the strange kingdom has changed, he may not be the ruler, but when facing strange creatures, his combat power is no weaker than that of the ruler.

It can even be more useful.

"Please tell me about the responsibilities and compensation, senior."

Chen Lin did not refuse outright.

As the top trading venue in the Star Ruins, the Azure Heaven Palace possesses unimaginable resources. If the conditions aren't too strict, joining it wouldn't be a bad thing.

At least you'll have someone to rely on.

"As for offerings, they are naturally quite flexible. I don't care about your other places, only your status as the Punisher is acceptable, so you only need to take action when fighting against strange creatures."

"of course."

"You can refuse."

"But if you refuse any summons, you will have to return all the benefits you received before, except for the mission rewards, and your title of worship will be revoked. You will be banned from entering the Azure Heaven Palace for life."

"As for the compensation."

Bai Lingyu continued to transmit her voice.

"One contribution point per year, and additional contribution rewards for each task depending on its difficulty. Contribution points can be exchanged for treasures in the Heavenly Palace Treasury."

"For example, this Variegated Crystal Marrow, one bottle is worth one hundred contribution points, and you can exchange for it for as little as you want."

Chen Lin was secretly alarmed.

The supply of the colorful crystal marrow is surprisingly open; the resources of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace are too abundant.

There must be a high-ranking ruler behind it.

"May I ask if the Heavenly Palace Treasury contains the Nine-Tentacle Divine Conch?"

Chen Lin was already inclined to agree, but still took the opportunity to ask this question.

"Yes, you can exchange 300 contribution points for it, but the quantity is limited. If you want it, you need to hurry up and get contribution points. The treasures in the treasure vault can only be exchanged with contribution points."

Can contribution points be traded?

Chen Lin asked again.

"Of course you can, but I'm afraid no one will trade. Contribution points are extremely valuable, and the treasures in the Heavenly Palace Treasury far exceed your imagination. If you join, you'll understand once you get the exchange list."

"Okay, I agree to join."

Without further hesitation, Chen Lin agreed.

This may seem reckless, but it is the best option.

The current situation is too unfavorable for him, and no major power will accept him. Even the Eight Trees are just using him. It is too difficult for him to obtain high-level resources.

Now that we have the opportunity, we can't give it up.

"You made the right decision."

Bai Lingyu's tone softened considerably.

Immediately afterwards, a token appeared in front of Chen Lin. It was about the size of a palm and shaped like an invitation, with a picture of a green-roofed palace on it.

"This is the Azure Profound Token, which has many functions. You can view it yourself after you bind it to your soul."

I gave an explanation.

Bai Lingyu then ignored Chen Lin and continued to oversee the transaction.

Chen Lin looked at the token, and without hesitation, immediately used a secret technique to bind it.

Then a stream of information appeared in my mind.

He understood the purpose of the token.

There are three points in total.

One of them is teleportation.

With this item, he can respond to any summons and enter the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace at any time.

The prerequisite is being summoned.

He needs to apply to enter if he wants to.

It could be used as an invitation to attend the once-in-a-century trade fair.

The second is storage.

This thing is actually a small-scale hidden treasure!

The pool was about the same size as the Jade Pendant of the Cave Heaven, and in terms of grade, it was even higher than the Jade Pendant of the Fruit Pit. However, the energy inside was very weak and mixed, making it unsuitable for cultivation or planting spiritual plants.

Its main function is to collect the exchanged items.

The third function.

It was to communicate with the Qingding Heavenly Palace.

It mainly involves recording contribution points, viewing the treasure vault list, and applying for redemptions, etc.

Chen Lin had a sudden thought.

A treasure trove list automatically unfolds in my mind.

It was densely packed with the names of treasures. I flipped through it for a long time but still couldn't finish. I don't know how many there were, and I didn't know what most of them were.

However, the list can be categorized.

You can also perform more detailed searches.

There's no need to do it manually; with a thought, the information of the Nine-Touched Divine Conch is listed out.

Nine-Touched Divine Conch: "Worth 300 contribution points."

"Currently, there are three units remaining in inventory, with the number of transactions in the middle range."

"You do not have enough contribution points to redeem this item. Please earn more contribution points as soon as possible."

After a series of messages flashed by, a blurry image appeared, which seemed to depict a strangely shaped creature.

Then another message popped up.

"Use three contribution points to view detailed information about this item?"

Chen Lin was speechless.

He shook his head, separating his soul from the token.

The methods of the Azure Heaven Palace are indeed formidable, and the resources it controls are truly astounding, but without contribution points, one can only watch helplessly.

To earn contribution points, you have to accept the call to fight.

Gaining results by dragging things out is too slow.

Moreover, these 'basic benefits' are not free; if one refuses to be drafted, one must return the benefits.

There is indeed no such thing as a free lunch.

He muttered something softly.

Chen Lin put away the token and focused his attention on the trade fair.

"The Myriad Tribulations Inquiry Pill has already survived three thousand six hundred tribulations, and it can still be exchanged for the Exquisite Treasure Chest."

Bai Lingyu is showing the third item.

The name made Chen Lin's eyes light up.

He also has the method for refining this elixir, which seems to be of high value. Refining it would be a profitable method.
