I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

After returning to Horseshoe Mountain, Chen Lin made no attempt to hide anything and went to the Purple Wood Clan Palace.

Introduce Suer to everyone.

"Is this the sacred tree of the Purple Wood Clan?"

Lan Menghan's eyes lit up with a dazzling light when she saw the small purple tree.

"You know about this thing too?"

Chen Lin walked up to the small tree and asked casually.

"Such a famous thing, there are probably not many people in the Star Ruins who don't know about it. Legend has it that this thing is a companion spiritual root obtained by the ancestor of the Purple Wood Clan next to the Primordial Stele. He has never been able to cultivate it successfully. I didn't expect it to come alive now."

Lan Menghan also walked up to the small tree.

I observed for a while.

He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "There is indeed some trick to it. If you can cultivate next to this tree, it is better than using any spiritual object to help you. Moreover, this primordial energy is effective for any cultivation system."

"You want to cultivate here?"

Is that alright?

Lan Menghan's eyes lit up when she heard Chen Lin's words.

"There's nothing wrong with that. You can cultivate wherever you want. This thing is a spiritual object, and its energy can be replenished after it is depleted. It just grows a little slowly."

Chen Lin spoke indifferently.

Then he looked at everyone.

"Anyone who wants to cultivate here can do so, but there is one thing to note: although the Purple Light Tree is primordial energy and relatively mild, we are, after all, from a lower-dimensional realm. Do not refine and absorb too much, lest you suffer a backlash."

"Yes!"

Xiaocao and the others responded in unison.

Chen Lin nodded.

Next, he instructed everyone to repair the damaged parts of the palace, reseal the entrance to the secret realm, and set up a defensive array. Everyone could enter and exit using their identity tokens.

Processing complete.

He called Yang Tian to his side.

"Can your Immaculate Body be enhanced using the energy of the Purple Light Tree?"

"Yes, Master, you can improve, but it will be very slow."

Yang Tian answered immediately.

He then said with embarrassment, "This is mainly because my life level is too low, which has disappointed you, Master."

"This is not your fault."

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

With a gritted teeth.

Take out a bottle of 'Beauty Finger' flower petal juice.

After explaining its purpose, he said, "Don't do anything else during this time. Focus on refining this item, and I'll help you from the side."

"Thank you, Master!"

Yang Tian was overjoyed.

He knew this was his most important opportunity; whether he could change his life depended on his ability to help his master restore Hongchen and Bai She.

If successful.

Not only will they gain their master's attention, but they will also gain favors from several people in the mortal world.

I have something to look forward to.

Yang Tian practiced with extraordinary effort, almost neglecting to eat or sleep, and his mind was always in a state of high tension.

Chen Lin was also anxious.

If the little white snake doesn't recover, he won't be able to complete the inheritance of the twelve zodiac animals, which will have a huge impact on his plans.

If the Ascension Trial were to begin before then, all would be lost.

But being impatient won't help.

He could only suppress his frustration and wholeheartedly help Yang Tian improve his life level.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Tian finally finished refining a bottle of Beauty Finger Juice, raising his life level by one level and his cultivation level by a significant margin. This was basically thanks to Chen Lin; if he had to refine it himself, it would have taken him at least three hundred years.

For him, the juice from the beauty finger was on a completely different level.

"Ok?"

After absorbing the last drop of spiritual liquid, Chen Lin noticed that Yang Tian's aura had become unstable, and the surrounding energy fluctuations had also changed.

His expression changed instantly.

With a wave of his hand, the two left the palace and arrived at an open area by the lake.

"You are about to undergo a tribulation. The tribulation of the True Realm is no small matter. Outsiders can only offer limited help. You must be careful."

Chen Lin solemnly gave his instructions.

Then he took out treasures such as the Tribulation-Crossing Pill and handed them to the other party.

"Don't worry, Master."

Over the years in the Seven Star Realm, Yang Tian had made considerable preparations for advancing to the True Realm. Moreover, he possessed innate talent, and his True Realm was already at its perfect state, so he wasn't too worried.

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

Step aside.

With him around, even if the other party can't withstand the heavenly tribulation, he can still save their life. However, this would make it difficult to advance further, so it's best to go all out in one go.

To Chen Lin's surprise.

He originally thought that even if Yang Tian could successfully overcome the tribulation, it would be extremely difficult, since this was the Star Ruins, and the tribulation formed here was stronger than that of the Seven Star Realm, and the opponent's own accumulation was not solid.

but.

The opponent's talent is too extraordinary.

It can even resolve heavenly tribulations, and it can easily weaken and absorb all types of calamity energy.

Even the tribulations of inner demons remained unaffected.

"Master, I did it!"

After recovering for a while, Yang Tian excitedly came to Chen Lin and bowed deeply in respect.

Once he enters the True Realm, he can roam freely in the void, no longer needing to be confined to Horseshoe Mountain. Although he is still the lowest-ranking cultivator in the Star Ruins, it's better than not daring to even go out.

"very good."

Chen Lin nodded.

Given the other party's extraordinary talent, they might actually be able to resolve the strange condition of the little white snakes, and they could also be of use when entering the strange realm in the future.

The others stepped forward to congratulate him.

Su Er and Lan Menghan also gave them treasures.

Upon seeing this.

Chen Lin simply took matters into his own hands and prepared a table of spiritual food to celebrate in a small way.

Then he continued his seclusion and spiritual practice.

Time stands still in the mountains.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Lin relentlessly severed the lines between himself and others, with remarkable results. Very few lines remained that could be sensed, and the speed at which he did so far surpassed that of the elites of top-tier forces.

If this gets out, it will surely attract the attention of powerful people.

But this is not because he is special in himself, but because of the juice from the petals of the 'Beauty Finger' flower.

This juice can not only quickly heal injuries caused by backlash, but also enhance the perception of the lines between self and other, and increase the power of the rune blade.

If this item is not available.

To reach the current level of progress, it would take at least a thousand years.

This is why cultivators fight so desperately for resources. The difference between having resources and not having them is simply too great. No one can ignore the temptation of such instant success.

pity.

The amount of juice from the Beauty Finger is limited.

Only one bottle left.

Chen Lin played with the bottle for a while, but didn't continue using it. Even if he used this bottle, he wouldn't be able to completely sever the bond between himself and others. It would be more valuable to save it for a critical moment to save his life.

Moreover, if you push yourself too hard, your body won't be able to handle it.

So he ended his seclusion.

After gathering everyone together and giving them instructions, they traveled through the secret realm to Dream City.

As soon as we entered the city.

Chen Lin sensed something was wrong; everyone looked serious and hurried, as if something major had happened.

He didn't ask any questions and quickly headed towards the cave.

"Master."

Upon seeing Chen Lin, Leng Yue's face lit up with joy.

"What happened? What's going on here?"

Chen Lin asked directly.

Leng Yue said with a solemn expression, "Reporting to Master, it is said that a group of strange creatures is approaching Dream Island, and their target is likely this place. The City Lord's Mansion has issued a conscription order, requiring all beings above the Eternal Realm to accept the order."

"If anyone resists being summoned, he shall be expelled from the city."

“Cultivators below the Eternal Realm must pay protection money; those who cannot pay will be expelled from the city.”

"It's gotten to this point?"

Chen Lin frowned.

The fact that even low-level cultivators' blood is being drawn shows that Dream City is under considerable pressure.

Then there must be a high-level, mysterious being. "Where is City Lord Gu? Was it him who issued the order?"

Chen Lin asked again.

Gu Tianhan, the city lord of Dream City, is a sixth-tier overlord. If even he cannot be dealt with, this place will have to be abandoned. However, how to take Leng Yue and Shen Xiaoyu away is a problem.

"I heard that Lord Gu has left the city to improve his cultivation, but I don't know if the information is accurate."

Leng Yue answered immediately.

"I see."

Chen Lin pondered for a moment.

He said in a deep voice, "You all stay in the cave and don't go out yet. I'll go and find out what's going on."

City Lord's Mansion.

After wandering around the market, Chen Lin arrived here.

Send a visiting card to the guard.

"Please inform them that Chen Lin, a Yellow-rank Elder of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace, wishes to meet Elder Yu."

Upon hearing the words "Azure Peak Heavenly Palace," the guards immediately became humble.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Lin.

"Please wait a moment."

Then he turned and walked into the mansion.

Not long after.

The guard quickly stepped out, followed by an elderly man with white hair.

"Haha, I didn't know Fellow Daoist Chen had arrived. I apologize for not welcoming you properly. Please forgive me."

The white-haired old man glanced at Chen Lin, then quickly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Greetings, Elder Yu. I apologize for the intrusion and hope I have not disturbed you."

Chen Lin cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

He had already learned about the powerful figures in the city and had seen their portraits several times, so he recognized their identities at a glance.

However, he did not expect that the other party would come out to greet him personally.

“Fellow Daoist Chen is an honored guest, how could we possibly disturb him? This is not the place to talk, let’s go inside and discuss this in detail.”

The white-haired old man smiled and invited Chen Lin into his residence.

We arrived at the reception hall.

Guests and hosts were seated separately, and maids served them fine tea.

Then he tentatively asked, "I've heard that Fellow Daoist Chen is the Punisher?"

Chen Lin's eyebrows twitched.

"How did Elder Yu find out?"

"hehe."

"This is no secret now. Many people know about it. With Senior Bai Yujing causing a ruckus at Four Seasons Manor, the grudge between Fellow Daoist Chen and the Fisherman of Heavenly Lake is not only known to everyone, but it also cannot be hidden from my Dream City."

"Elder Yu is right."

Chen Lin no longer tried to hide it.

Indeed, as the other party said, he is now considered a 'celebrity'.

It wasn't just the Bai Yujing incident; the pressure Langdang Mountain exerted on Siji Villa before was also enough to make him famous.

"Then what brings Fellow Daoist Chen here today?"

Elder Yu continued to probe.

Chen Lin's expression turned serious.

He said in a deep voice, "I just arrived here myself. I heard that strange creatures are approaching. I don't know how many there are or what level they are."

Speaking of this...

Elder Yu also became serious.

"To be honest, the situation is not optimistic."

"Our investigation has revealed that there are more than a dozen strange creatures appearing, led by a duke whose title seems to be the Grand Duke of Tianwu Liehuang Qi Sifang Qingzheng."

"The account ban is that long?"

Chen Lin counted them; not counting the two characters "Da Gong," there were nine characters in total.

"It is indeed very long."

Elder Yu nodded.

He immediately became serious and said, "Although the other party is only a low-ranking nine-character title, a duke is still a duke. Even outside the strange kingdom, he has the power of a mid-level ruler. Unfortunately, the city lord went to the dark area and cannot be contacted at all."

Speaking of it.

He looked at Chen Lin and gave a slight bow.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is a Punishment Lord, specializing in subduing strange creatures. We urge you to join the resistance and help our city overcome this calamity. When the City Lord returns, we will surely repay you!"

Chen Lin remained silent.

He did come here with the intention of participating in the battle, hoping to take this opportunity to gain some benefits and allow Leng Yue and the others to obtain more authority here.

Simultaneously.

They also used the battle to hone themselves and see if they could inspire an indomitable spirit.

However, the one who came was a duke, along with a group of formidable subordinates, so he might not be able to secure victory.

Don't be fooled by his ability to easily kill Di Hou; that was only with the blessing of the ancestral spirit's battle intent from the Golden War Clan. Moreover, although there is only a one-word difference between a Marquis and a Duke, their strength is worlds apart.

We must not underestimate our opponent.

"As the saying goes, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. I heard that Fellow Daoist Chen has some businesses in the city, as well as disciples. If Dream City is destroyed, I'm afraid he will not be able to escape unscathed."

Upon seeing this, Elder Yu immediately offered words of advice.

"in addition."

"The city lord has gathered hundreds of thousands of low-level rogue cultivators. Fellow Daoist, can you bear to watch them be devoured by strange creatures? Saving their lives is also an act of kindness and will greatly benefit your state of mind."

Chen Lin remained silent.

He added, "Fellow Daoist Chen, rest assured, although the City Lord is not here, Dream City is not without fighting power. Including myself, all eleven elders are participating in the battle."

"There are still hundreds of Eternal Realm cultivators; we won't let you fight alone."

"If you have any conditions, please let me know. As long as it is within my power, I will try my best to meet them."

"it is good."

"I can join!"

Chen Lin made a decision.

To inspire an indomitable spirit, there must be sufficient pressure.

The will to fight must also be strong enough.

The reason he couldn't recreate his indomitable spirit after merging with his second identity was because his fighting will was insufficient. If it were the Silver Fairy, it might not have disappeared during the merging process.

Without inspiring an indomitable spirit, the Crimson Ape bloodline cannot be enhanced, and the existence of the Zodiac inheritance cannot be determined.

Time is running out for him.

We can no longer continue with slow development; we must be aggressive when necessary.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is benevolent and righteous!"

"On behalf of the millions of living beings in Dream City, I bow to you, fellow Daoist!"

Elder Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly stood up to express his gratitude.

"Elder, there's no need for that."

Chen Lin stood up to return the greeting.

Then he said seriously, "I'll help, but I have some requirements. I have three conditions."

"please say."

When the terms were discussed, Elder Yu regained his composure.

"First."

Chen Lin held up one finger.

"Although I have joined the fighting force, I will not take orders from anyone. This needs to be stated in advance to avoid any conflicts later."

Elder Yu remained silent for a moment.

He nodded slowly.

"If you do not wish to be driven, then act freely. However, if you can cooperate with the battle formation, please do so as much as possible."

"Row."

Chen Lin replied.

Then he extended two more fingers.

"second."

"If I successfully help eliminate the strange creatures, I need a sacred site in the inner city as a place for cultivation, a shop in the market, and a deacon position for my disciple."

"no problem."

Elder Yu readily agreed.

"If Elder Chen can kill that Duke, I can grant you a mountain peak in the inner city, three of the largest shops in the market, and an elder's position!"

"Ah."

Chen Lin hummed in agreement.

He then extended three fingers.

"One last request."

"If the Old Fisherman of Tianhu ever comes here again, I demand that you protect my men and prevent them from being implicated by me!" (End of Chapter)
