I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

"A delicate treasure chest?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Chen Lin immediately looked at him with a questioning tone.

This is something that even the Azure Heaven Palace needs. He had been trying to find out about it, but hadn't been able to get any information. He never expected to hear it from the other party.

"Aren't you an honorific servant of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace? How come you don't know about the Exquisite Treasure Chest?"

Lu Ming looked puzzled.

Chen Lin gave a dry laugh.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I haven't been in the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace for long. I only know Senior Bai Lingyu, so I'm not very familiar with the place."

"I see."

Lu Ming looked as if he had just realized something.

Then he said smugly, "Senior Bai is no ordinary expert. The fact that you have won her favor is enough to prove your value. It seems that my judgment is quite discerning."

He then offered an explanation.

"The Exquisite Treasure Chest is an opportunity left behind by the Creator. Only those with the right destiny can obtain it. However, it is already very difficult to find in normal areas. If you want to obtain it, you need to try your luck in the Dark Area."

"Your Majesty, could you describe what the treasure chest looks like?"

Chen Lin continued to ask questions.

Treasure chests appear frequently in this world, and there are all kinds of them. He has obtained quite a few before, and he doesn't know if there is any connection.

"It's very small, only about three inches."

Lu Ming gestured.

He then said, "The style is similar to the treasure chest on the ferry of life. The treasure chests that Wenchenke made are all modeled after the exquisite treasure chest."

The image of the palm-sized treasure chest at the ferry party immediately flashed into Chen Lin's mind.

I guess it's one size smaller than the standard size.

I have never received it.

"Oh, right."

Lu Ming seemed to remember something.

"You should know about the Trial of Ascension, right? There are exquisite treasure chests there too, but those chests are more targeted. They can be locked by secret orders, and the items you get are all related to the trial."

talking.

He looked at Chen Lin meaningfully.

He said calmly, "For those who participate in the Heavenly Trial, the Exquisite Treasure Chest may contain items that are related to their lives. If you get it, you should think carefully before deciding how to use it."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

The other party actually brought up the topic.

He then went straight to the point and asked, "Is Your Majesty certain that I will participate in the trial? And you, is your name on the Heavenly Ranking?"

"The name on the Heavenly Stele is blurry and cannot be seen clearly. I do not know if you are here or not, but I am sure I am here. After all, I am exceptionally talented. If I cannot even make it onto the Heavenly Stele list, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"

Lu Ming replied without hesitation.

This put Chen Lin at ease.

At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, realizing that he had overestimated himself and that the other party didn't even consider him a potential enemy.

The two talked for a while longer.

Chen Lin reaped a great harvest.

Lu Ming ended the conversation.

"Alright, I'm telling you all this information. Any one of these pieces of information could fetch a good price, but I'm giving it to you for free. You should be grateful and not be inactive at crucial moments."

"Your Majesty, rest assured."

Chen Lin immediately made a guarantee.

He then added, "I have another question, and I would like to ask Your Majesty for clarification."

"explain."

Lu Ming seemed a little impatient.

Chen Lin still forced himself to say, "It's about the murmuring sound that appeared when I was undergoing my tribulation. It seems to be different from what is recorded in the ancient books."

"what happened?"

Lu Ming immediately sat up straight, his expression becoming tense.

General Xiao Lan, who had been silent all along, suddenly moved and stood between the two of them.

Such a strong reaction made Chen Lin nervous.

He quickly said, "The murmurs I heard were initially chaotic and highly aggressive, but later they started to sound like cries for help. They didn't have the seductive intent that was rumored."

"call!"

Lu Ming let out a breath.

"A cry for help? That's nothing. As long as it's not a particularly clear unknown language, just ignore it."

"As for why you didn't feel tempted."

That's because you haven't reached that level yet.

I gave an explanation.

Lu Ming waved his hand again, "You should hurry up and refine the Myriad Thoughts Pill. You must improve Xing Jun's methods as much as possible. The invasion of the strange kingdom will not end in the short term. The stronger you are, the safer you will be."

Although Chen Lin was somewhat reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to depart upon seeing this.

In the blink of an eye.

Six months have passed.

Chen Lin finally finished refining the Myriad Thoughts Pill. Although the effect was not as expected, it deepened his understanding of the Soul Extinction Finger and allowed him to deduce some of the subsequent techniques.

But it's basically come to an end.

His previous knowledge of torture was insufficient to deduce deeper implications.

Relying on one's own understanding is even less likely.

If we want to obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques, we probably really have to find the Exquisite Treasure Chest, just like Lu Ming said.

inside the room.

Chen Lin pondered deeply.

Kashima is actually on the edge; once you pass through the Thousand Towers Ruins, you'll find yourself in an undeveloped, dark area.

But he never dared to go in.

Because of the cold-weather beast.

He had encountered this beast inside the Star Gate. According to Huang Yan, anyone who had come into contact with this beast or set foot in the Dark Area would be attacked once every hundred years.

A century has now passed.

In other words.

Now, whenever he enters the dark area, he will inevitably encounter the Frostbite Beast. Although the Soul-Destroying Finger can suppress it, it offers no benefit, and he will not take the risk recklessly.

But times have changed.

Chen Lin was somewhat tempted and planned to go in and take a look.

It's not just for the inheritance of Xing Jun, but also for the exquisite treasure chest. This item is related to the trial of ascending to heaven. The second piece of the Mandarin Duck Board is nowhere to be found, so we can't keep pinning our hopes on it.

"Is it convenient for you, Mr. Chen, to talk?" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Lin put his thoughts aside.

The door was then opened, and Yuan Nianzhen walked in.

He smiled and said, "No wonder Fellow Daoist Chen was able to fight his way out of the Seven Star Realm and even the Fisherman of Heavenly Lake couldn't do anything to him. His will to cultivate diligently is something we can't compare to."

"You flatter me."

Chen Lin looked at the other person.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, is there something you need? Please speak freely."

"nothing."

Yuan Nianzhen sat down casually.

"I still have the same question. I want to ask Fellow Daoist Chen how he resolved the rules of my Hibiscus Pavilion and left a false name on the marriage contract. This is related to my cultivation, and I can't rest easy until I find out."

"hehe."

Chen Lin smiled indifferently.

"There are countless supernatural powers and secret techniques in the world. It is perfectly normal for them to complement and counter each other. Does Fellow Daoist Yuan think that your treasure of rules is invincible?"

"While not invincible, it has never been broken without anyone noticing."

Yuan Nianzhen looked at Chen Lin with a serious expression.

"This treasure of mine was crafted using the unique rules of Yin-Yang Island. It took eighteen thousand years to complete. On the day it was finished, the power of the rules spread across the void and invaded all realms. As a result, billions of living beings merged Yin and Yang, giving birth to countless lives."

“Since the day of Bao Cheng, I have traveled to all corners of the world. No one who has entered my Furong Tower has been able to break the rules quietly.”

"Fellow Daoist is the first."

"Because of this matter, my path to becoming a Sovereign has been blocked. If you were in my shoes, would you investigate this matter thoroughly?"

Chen Lin remained silent upon hearing this.

It seems he really did touch a nerve with the other party.

The Hibiscus Pavilion was the opponent's natal treasure, and he probably intended to use it to advance to the Sovereign realm. He was already close to breaking through, but because of this, the meaning of the Great Dao is difficult to perfect.

But it's too late to say all this now.

So he replied, "I can understand your feelings, but this was not my intention, and I did not expect it to cause you such great harm. How do you plan to resolve this?"

He paused for a moment.

He said in a deep voice, "Do you require me to cripple my own supernatural powers to help you ascend to the level of a ruler?"

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

Yuan Nianzhen took a light breath.

After calming himself down, he said, "I have no grudge against you, fellow Daoist, and we both work under the Wandering King, so it's best to get along peacefully. Therefore, I would like to make a deal with you."

Tell me about it.

Chen Lin spoke in a flat tone.

With his current strength, even if he were inside the opponent's treasure, he wouldn't be afraid of the opponent suddenly launching an attack.

"Are Chen Siyang and Wen Siyue, the brother and sister, your children?"

Yuan Nianzhen raised an eyebrow and asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately exuded a cold aura, but quickly suppressed it.

He replied calmly, "Not bad."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, rest assured, I do not intend to threaten you with my two siblings."

Yuan Nianzhen immediately explained.

"However, the two of them have violated the sect rules and are currently in a difficult situation. I can help them out of this predicament in exchange for telling me how to resolve the rules of Furong Tower. What do you think?"

Chen Lin frowned.

After a while.

He stretched out his palm and brushed a wisp of soul power with that characteristic over the other person.

Yuan Nianzhen's body trembled.

An indescribable sense of fear was evident on his face, and his soul began to waver.

She immediately resisted.

Simultaneously.

The entire Hibiscus Pavilion trembled, emanating a powerful force of rules that intertwined with her body, seemingly trying to suppress Chen Lin's soul power.

But it is impossible to do so.

Just as her face contorted as if she were about to unleash some secret technique, Chen Lin withdrew his soul power.

"This is it. Fellow Daoist Yuan, have you felt it clearly?"

Chen Lin's voice rang out, his expression inscrutable.

But a soft sigh escaped his lips.

Although he can now mobilize that characteristic, this power is not very offensive; it is merely a suppression at the energy level. The sense of intimidation the opponent experiences is actually the effect of the Soul Master's divine power.

The best use for that property right now is to ensure that the essence of the soul remains intact.

However, after using the Beauty Finger blood to enhance it, it no longer requires expending one's own soul to the extreme to manifest, and can be used anytime, anywhere.

For quite a while.

Yuan Nianzhen has just recovered.

She looked at Chen Lin with a changing expression, then stood up and bowed.

"Thank you for your mercy, fellow Daoist. I will definitely keep my promise."

After saying his farewell, he left.

Chen Lin didn't move, but instead stroked his chin and began to think.

Through the experiment just now, it seems that the characteristic is not entirely ineffective. Given the opponent's cultivation level, the mere intimidation of the Soul Master's divine power might not be enough to make the opponent lose their composure so easily.

It must be that the other party discovered that no matter what methods they used, they could not stop the soul from being eroded.

So I was scared.

Because the other party cannot know that such a characteristic is not highly corrosive.

"That's interesting."

Chen Lin became interested.

He activated the shielding array in the room and began experimenting with different combinations of properties, hoping to develop a set of combined attack methods.

But after some attempts...

He shook his head helplessly.

Aside from working in conjunction with the Soul Master's intimidating divine power to make the target even more fearful, that characteristic remains the same as in previous experiments; it does not enhance the power of other abilities.

So we stopped wasting time.

He took out the innate spiritual pearl and began refining it into the jade pendant. (End of Chapter)
