I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2371 Bai Yujing

This was the first time Chen Lin had used the Burning Passion Sword Technique.

This is a very special state, unlike any supernatural power or secret technique.

Their own emotions also have a great impact.

There was reluctance, relief, resentment, and helplessness.

There is a resolute determination to brave mountains and seas together, as well as a deep sense of melancholy; it's hard to express exactly what kind of feeling it is.

The sword light was faint and indistinct.

There was no fluctuation, as if a gentle breeze was lightly brushing against the wind chimes.

The wind chime swayed and made a mournful sound.

It looked like she was crying.

Then the colorful patterns on it gradually faded and peeled off, and the gray-white wind chimes also disintegrated.

Chen Lin suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost something most important, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

However, he was often troubled by the white snake's abilities, so this level of sadness did not affect him. He quickly returned to normal and then observed the situation after the wind chimes dissipated.

Once everything was confirmed to be in order, I prepared to leave.

"Friendly means."

Just as Chen Lin stepped out from under the vines, Bai Yujing's figure suddenly appeared.

She was still standing under the second wind chime, in the same position as before, and even her posture was exactly the same.

"You flatter me, senior."

Since the other party was able to shield his senses and keep him completely unaware, Chen Lin had no choice but to show humility.

"I never praise anyone casually."

Bai Yujing's gaze left the second wind chime.

Turning to Chen Lin.

"The Everlasting Love Vine is a primordial variant. Although it is not yet fully mature, there is no way to break its power of rules. Your sword strike just now was truly mysterious, as it could actually ignite emotions. Did you figure it out yourself?"

"No."

Chen Lin immediately shook his head.

He answered truthfully, "I received the inheritance from someone else."

"I see."

Bai Yujing revealed a knowing look.

"May I ask who created this sword technique?"

"It is said to be the Holy Maiden He Qing, but I did not obtain it from the Holy Maiden, but from someone else."

The other party's strength was unfathomable, and they also had the ability to see through lies, so Chen Lin could only answer truthfully.

"So it was her."

Bai Yujing adopted an "I see" expression.

"That's right. I was wondering why her and the Star Lord's Eternal Love Bell was gone. I thought they had both perished completely. It turns out she invented a way to resolve the rules."

"pity."

"Two people who loved each other so much ended up going in opposite directions."

"Do you think true love still exists in this world?"

"do not know."

Chen Lin shook his head.

He paused for a moment.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If it's a mortal, then it should exist, but among cultivators, it's probably very rare. The longer one lives, the more precious true love becomes."

Time heals all wounds.

"and."

He looked at the wind chimes on the vines.

He said calmly, "Love that needs to be solidified by external things is not truly pure love."

Bai Yujing's body trembled.

He fell into a daze once again.

a long time.

He then turned his head to look at the second wind chime.

He said in a low voice, "You're right. True love doesn't need external support. The fact that you chose to come here means you weren't that in love."

"Or perhaps."

"I didn't really trust the other party."

talking.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Chen Lin.

"I was confused. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist. I have a favor to ask. I would like you to teach me the sword technique you just used. Would that be convenient for you?"

"no problem."

Chen Lin readily agreed.

Then he took out a piece of Abyss Crystal and imprinted the Passionate Sword Technique into it.

"This is the complete sword manual. Senior, you may study it as you wish, but please do not spread it outside. After all, this manual is not mine, and it is not good to spread it too widely."

"That's natural."

Bai Yujing accepted the Abyss Crystal.

I glanced at it.

Raising an eyebrow, he said, "This crystal contains the aura of a strange creature, but it's also quite different. It's rather interesting. It must have come from some kind of treasure hidden within the cave of a strange creature, right?"

"Your insight is truly remarkable."

Chen Lin replied with admiration.

Although the abyss of the Seven Star Realm is not a grotto-heaven, it is still a subordinate area of ​​the Nightmare Realm due to the leakage of the Nightmare King's Seal, just without the formation of independent rules.

Bai Yujing didn't say anything more.

He swept his palm across the abyss crystal, and the inherited mark was peeled off, turning into a particle of light that flickered uncertainly in his palm.

After a while.

The light particles slowly dissipated.

Bai Yujing shook his sleeves and shifted his gaze to the second wind chime.

He said slowly, "Although this sword technique is wonderful, it still has some flaws. In fact, it cannot break the rules of the Eternal Love Bell. However, due to some reasons, the Eternal Love Vine here can never mature, which leads to some special energy that can break through the limitations of the rules to a certain extent, thus giving this sword technique an opportunity."

"And I want to cut the wind chimes."

"One of them must be completely devoid of love; if even a little bit of feeling remains, it's impossible to achieve the desired outcome."

Speaking of it.

He exuded the same sword intent as Chen Lin had before.

The voice was hollow.

"so."

"This is a good opportunity to peek into emotions."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand trembled, and a faint sword aura flew out, brushing against the wind chimes like a gentle breeze.

Followed by.

The wind chimes wailed.

Then the patterns on it fell off, and the body slowly dissipated.

Bai Yujing's expression froze for a moment.

He remained silent for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before letting out a mournful laugh.

"Haha...hahaha...hahaha..."

The laughter lasted for a long time.

Chen Lin watched from the sidelines and felt that the other person's aura changed again and again, first becoming angry, then unwilling, and then dejected and powerless, as if he had lost all his energy and spirit.

Eventually, things returned to calm.

At this moment, Chen Lin noticed.

The opponent's aura became even stronger. Although he could not sense any energy fluctuations or dangerous presence, he still had that feeling.

It's not just powerful, it's become much more powerful—a qualitative leap.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for awakening me."

Bai Yujing thanked Chen Lin.

Then he added, "Tell me your real name so I don't have to calculate it. You helped me this time, and I'll help you in the future."

"This junior, Chen Lin, comes from the Seven Star Realm."

Chen Lin immediately revealed his identity.

Then he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"What's wrong? Are you having some kind of trouble?"

Bai Yujing asked calmly.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin spoke truthfully.

"Because I am a fish raised by the old fisherman of Tianhu Lake, I have been constantly watched by the other party. Now I have only gained a short respite of less than a thousand years by borrowing the name of a powerful person."

"so."

"If possible, I would like to ask for your help to negotiate and buy some more time."

Who is the Fisherman of Tianhu Lake?

Bai Yujing immediately inquired.

Chen Lin was taken aback.

The current Tianhu Fisherman is at the height of his power. Since returning from the Listening to the Dao Conference, he has become an important figure in the Four Seasons Manor and is about to be promoted to a mid-level Dominator.

The other party didn't know?
"Originally a rogue cultivator, practicing at Datian Lake, he later joined the Four Seasons Manor."

"The Seven Star Realm is currently under their control as well."

"At Four Seasons Villa?"

Bai Yujing nodded.

"it is good."

"It just so happens that I haven't been out and about for a long time, and I need to show off my abilities. So let's go to Four Seasons Villa. Leave this to me."

After saying that, he flashed and disappeared from Tiger Hill.

Seeing this, Chen Lin also left.

As planned, he headed straight for the Seven Absolutes Sect. Although the Nine-Touch Divine Conch had already been returned, he still intended to pay a visit and see if he could become acquainted with them.

One aspect is resolving the issue of Puda and others turning into birds.

The Seven Absolutes Sect is a rising star, eager to show its status, so they might be willing to help him.

Also.

He has an agreement with the Seven Absolutes Sect.

Having obtained someone else's secret technique, he had to go to the Mysterious Kingdom to retrieve something. Now that the Mysterious Kingdom had undergone changes, he needed to go and inquire whether the agreement had been altered.

It just so happens that the Soul Inquiry Academy is also on the same line.

After visiting the Seven Absolutes Sect, go there to see if you can obtain the Second Soul-Unlocking Method and the subsequent inheritance of the Soul-Destroying Finger.

Non-stop.

Three years later.

Chen Lin saw a huge city in the distance.

He stopped, thought for a moment, and then chose to fly over.

This is not the Seven Absolutes Sect; it's more than a year away. This place is called Dream City, the dojo of a ruler.

This person's name is Gu Tianhan.

His cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Sovereign Realm, making him a renowned figure in the Star Ruins, and most major powers were unwilling to offend him. Therefore, he was able to occupy a territory alone.

The city as a whole is a natural landscape. After being transformed, it was not only used by Gu Tianhan himself, but also developed into a market town, and even rented out cave dwellings to others.

The price is very high, and ordinary cultivators can't afford it.

Thinking about the information about the city, Chen Lin arrived at the city gate.

Without any further ado, they simply paid the entry fee and were issued an identity token.

"Would you like a guide, sir?"

As soon as they entered the city, a beautiful young woman flew over and respectfully inquired.

How much does it cost?

Chen Lin was surprised to find a guide here, and one who seemed quite professional.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the price is ten pieces of spotted stone or something of equal value per day. This price was set by the steward and is the same for everyone."

The girl immediately explained.

"Okay, lead the way, let's go to the market first."

Chen Lin took out a spirit fruit, worth more than ten speckled stones, and casually handed it to the other party.

So-called spotted stone is a mineral that is associated with spotted crystal. This kind of thing is not circulated among high-level cultivators, and there is no exchange ratio between it and spotted crystal.

It was only used as currency by low-level cultivators.

"Thank you, sir!"

The girl's face lit up with joy.

She immediately introduced herself: "My name is Shen Xiaoyu. I am a native cultivator of Dream City. My father works as a shop assistant for Jubao Trading Company in the market. He has access to many important people. If you want to learn about information or purchase cultivation materials, you can contact my father. He can give you a discount."

"Is Jubao Trading Company still in the market?"

Chen Lin responded with surprise.

Jubao Trading Company, Jingyun Trading Company, and Tianfeng Trading Company are the three major trading companies in Xingxu. Jubao Trading Company is the highest level and is said to only be stationed in large markets, not even on Deer Island.

of course.

Compared to the Azure Heaven Palace, none of these three are worthy of comparison.

"some."

Shen Xiaoyu nodded immediately.

“Not only Jubao Trading Company, but other trading companies also have branches here. This place is an important area in the central region, and many forces pass through here when they are traveling between them.”

"Therefore, the market is very large."

"I see."

Chen Lin thought to himself that he had come to the right place; it was a good opportunity to gather information and collect materials.

The talismans used to refine the Myriad Tribulations Inquiry Pill are all rare items that cannot be collected in ordinary places.

"Oh, right."

"Have you heard any news from Four Seasons Villa lately?"

Chen Lin asked casually.

"Are you referring to the attack on Four Seasons Manor by a mysterious powerful figure, sir?"

Shen Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.

With a strong gossip-like tone, he said, "I heard that a mysterious expert suddenly descended upon Four Seasons Manor and attacked without saying a word. With just one finger, he rendered all the elders unable to move."

"And made a bold statement."

"Tell that old fisherman from Tianhu to behave himself and not cause trouble for his friends, or he'll raze the mountain resort to the ground."

He paused at this point.

She pinched her fingers and looked at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin took out another spirit fruit and handed it to the other party, saying, "And then what? Did Four Seasons Manor just tolerate this? Did that mysterious expert reveal his name?"

Shen Xiaoyu put the spirit fruit away with satisfaction.

"Of course we can't tolerate it. It's said that even the old manor lord, who has never left the manor, came out and fought a great battle with that mysterious expert in the void rift. But after returning, he announced the closure of the manor, and everyone stopped contacting the outside world."

Chen Lin looked shocked.

He immediately pressed on, "What about that old fisherman from Tianhu Lake? Was he injured?"

"Maybe not."

"However, it should have also closed down along with the manor. I don't know when it will be able to come out. Some people say that Four Seasons Manor is a show staged by the manor itself to avoid the invasion of strange creatures, so as to take the opportunity to get rid of the responsibility of fighting against strange creatures."

Chen Lin gently stroked his chin.

It's definitely not a self-directed and self-acted drama. Four Seasons Manor is located in the southern part of the central area. Even if strange creatures attack, they won't be the first to be affected.

That must be Baiyujing who has passed away.

But is that man in white really that powerful? He was able to defeat even the old master of Four Seasons Manor.
That would be a high-level ruler!

but.

High-level rulers can hear whispers at any time and place, and generally dare not act outside. It seems that the other party has no influence in this regard.

However, the differences between each level of the Dominator Realm are enormous, and it is unlikely that a mid-level Dominator can contend with a high-level one.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

I met someone by chance, and it turns out they have such great strength. I should have gotten closer to them back then.

"Sir, we've arrived at the market. What would you like to buy?"

Walking through a tree-lined avenue, Shen Xiaoyu looked at Chen Lin and asked him a question.

"Let's go check out Jubao Trading Company."

Chen Lin gave instructions casually.

Shen Xiaoyu immediately licked her lips, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help but say, "Then can I ask my father to receive you, sir? My father is old and not in good health. The business has been trying to fire him because they need some sales performance."

"can."

Chen Lin had neither a question nor an answer.

He also worked his way up from the bottom and knows how difficult it is for ordinary people.

"Thank you, sir!"

Shen Xiaoyu was excited, her face beaming with smiles, and her steps became much lighter.

Although she couldn't discern Chen Lin's cultivation level, she knew from his generosity and demeanor that he must be a high-level cultivator.

I just bought some random things.

That would significantly boost her father's performance.

"here."

Arriving at the center of the market, Shen Xiaoyu led Chen Lin to a building shaped like a treasure basin, and then pushed open the door to enter.

"Father, I've brought you a guest, come quickly."

Upon entering the hall, Shen Xiaoyu quickly glanced around before waving to the middle-aged man standing in the corner.

With a look of disappointment, she said in a low voice, "What are you always doing hiding in the corner? Are you afraid someone will beat you up? How can you win over good customers like this?"

"hey-hey."

The middle-aged man gave a dry laugh.

Shrinking his neck slightly, he cautiously asked Chen Lin, "What would you like to buy, sir?"

Chen Lin shook his head secretly.

The opponent's cultivation level is not high, only at the late stage of the Dharma Source realm. Such a cultivation level is at the very bottom of the Star Ruins, and they cannot even step out of their birthplace.

If they have a foundation, that's fine, but if they are descendants of rogue cultivators, they are not as good as cultivators from the lower realms.

He must have been bullied a lot to develop such a cowardly personality.

"I bought a lot of things, can you give me a discount?"

Chen Lin asked directly.

He can give the other party the opportunity, but only if he doesn't take advantage of them; he still needs to negotiate the price.

"OK."

The middle-aged man nodded immediately.

“My daughter brings adults here, and she gets a commission, which can be returned to the adults. I also have a little bit of discount authority, but it won’t be much.”

"Hahaha."

A young man in purple walked over and stood between Shen Xiaoyu's father and Chen Lin.

He cupped his hands to Chen Lin and said, "I am Lian Wuzhou. Just tell me what you need, and I will give you the best possible discount."

"Lian Wuzhou, this is my father's guest. What do you want?"

Shen Xiaoyu glared angrily at the young man in purple.

The young man in purple didn't care and said indifferently, "Once you enter, you are a customer of my Jubao Trading Company. What's the difference between you and me? If the discounts don't satisfy our valued customers and the transaction falls through, can you take responsibility?"

Done.

He glared at Shen Xiaoyu's father.

"Shen Wenming, aren't you going to take your daughter away? Do you not want to work here anymore?!"

"Good good."

Shen Xiaoyu's father readily agreed.

Then he tried to pull Shen Xiaoyu away, but Shen Xiaoyu shook him off.

He roared angrily, "Father, why are you so cowardly? What are you afraid of? We can just leave here. Are you going to starve to death?!"

"what's up?"

As the somber voice rang out, an old man in a gray robe stepped out.

He first clasped his hands in a fist salute to the other guests.

"I apologize for disturbing your enjoyment. I hereby grant a 10% discount on all the treasures purchased by everyone present."

Then he came to Chen Lin.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

"I apologize for the rudeness, esteemed guest. I have failed in my duty to discipline my children and have been impolite. If you do not mind, how about we discuss this further in the VIP room?"

"can."

Chen Lin did not refuse.

Then he pointed to Shen Xiaoyu and her father.

"Bring these two along too. It's better to have one person with two masters. Since we've met, it must be fate. I really believe in that."

The old man in the gray robe paused for a moment.

His gaze swept over Shen Xiaoyu, and he seemed to understand something.

He couldn't help but smile and nod: "We cultivators should indeed value fate. Let's do as our esteemed guest says. Whether or not our Jubao Trading Company reaches a transaction today, it will be considered a contribution on their part."

Chen Lin didn't say anything more.

The old man walked through a passageway, then went up to the second floor, and entered a magnificent room.

After seated.

He took out a jade slip, entered the required items into it, and handed it to the old man.

"The items required by our distinguished guest are not ordinary materials. It will probably take some time to gather them all."

After reading the list in the jade slip, the old man pondered and said.

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

"Can you collect them all?"

"It's hard to say. We can only try. And some materials may be a bit more expensive, since the situation is unstable right now and rare materials are not easy to collect."

"no problem."

Chen Lin took out three pieces of variegated crystal.

He pushed the money to the other party, saying, "Consider this a deposit. We'll discuss the details once we have everything."

He paused for a moment.

He then took out a jade slip, entered the information, and handed it to the other party.

"Shopkeeper, please take another look. Do you have these items?"
