I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chen Lin looked at the huge black rock floating in front of him.

His brows were furrowed.

He didn't sense any special energy from it, or even any energy fluctuations at all, but since this thing could float in mid-air, it was definitely not an ordinary stone.

I observed for a while.

After finding nothing amiss, Chen Lin stopped worrying about it.

He exited the grotto and returned to his physical body, put away the spirit boat, and flew towards the city.

The black-armored duke was, after all, a strange creature, and his cultivation method was different from that of cultivators. Naturally, the things he used were also different. Just because he couldn't sense anything unusual about the boulder didn't mean it wasn't a treasure.

We can study it slowly later.

Upon returning to his cave, Chen Lin received a report.

Elder Yu came to visit.

He immediately rose to greet him, led him to the guest hall, and asked, "Elder, have you come here in person? Has the City Lord returned?"

"not yet."

Elder Yu smiled.

Then he took out a few items and presented them to Chen Lin.

"The city lord will not be able to return for some time, but the things I promised you cannot be delayed: the territory documents, the elder's token, the shop contract, and some small items, which are my tokens of appreciation."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

Ignoring the contract and token, pick up the remaining three items one by one.

First, there was a jade box.

Upon opening it, there was a dusty gray pill inside, emitting a strange aura.

"This is the Broken Profound Pill."

Elder Yu's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"This pill was newly created by Dasheng of Danwang Valley. It can weaken the strength of the self-other connection. I heard that Fellow Daoist Chen has been searching for similar treasures. Presumably, you are also following your own unique path. It is just right for you."

"Oh?"

Chen Lin's interest was greatly piqued upon hearing this.

He picked up the pill, examining it while secretly marveling at its power. Gu Dasheng was indeed remarkable, capable of developing such a pill. With this, his cultivation speed would increase significantly.

Before the Ascension Trial, there is a chance to attempt to advance to the Dominator level.

Observe for a while.

Chen Lin looked at Elder Yu: "Has the effect of the pill been proven? How effective is it? Are there any side effects?"

"There are no side effects."

Yu Chang immediately spoke.

"The effect has been proven. I used one myself and it severed the last line. Unfortunately, my aptitude is limited, and I have been unable to break through the barrier between heaven and man for a long time. I am afraid I have no hope of becoming the master."

Hearing what the other person said, Chen Lin was not happy.

Instead, he frowned and asked, "Can this pill only affect one line of connection at a time?"

"good."

Elder Yu nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, do not underestimate it. Even so, the value of this pill is extraordinary. After all, most of the beings corresponding to the Self-Mastery Thread are below the Sovereign level, and those above the Sovereign level are very few. Just use it on the most difficult one."

"How are the prices set for Dan-o Island?"

Chen Lin pressed for an answer.

What he needs is to quickly sever all ties between himself and others. Naturally, the more pills the better. Now that he is wealthy, as long as the price isn't too outrageous, buying dozens of pills won't be a problem.

"It is not for sale to the public yet."

Elder Yu gave Chen Lin an answer that disappointed him.

He immediately offered an explanation.

"Once this kind of pill comes out, the number of cultivators who cultivate their own unique path will definitely increase dramatically. And for every thread of separation between self and other that is severed, the corresponding life's path to becoming a ruler will be basically cut off."

"It's really nothing."

"If there is no hope for normal advancement, you can switch to cultivating your own unique path. It will just take more time, and the chance of advancing to the Dominator level is extremely slim, so the impact will not be significant."

"but."

Elder Yu's tone became serious.

If too many cultivators pursue their own unique path, the impact on those who have already advanced to the level of a Dominator is difficult to mitigate.

"Fellow Daoist Chen should also know that for a normally promoted Dominator to improve their Dao Mark, they still need to continue to merge with their own and others. If the rules of one of their own and others are directly severed, it will cause a flaw in their path of advancement."

"The more disconnections you make, the lower the upper limit becomes."

"so."

"After learning about the situation of this pill, the major forces have joined forces to put pressure on Pill King Island, prohibiting it from being sold in large quantities. If it weren't for the fact that Pill King Island has many powerful figures backing it up, even Pill King Gu would probably not have survived."

Chen Lin looked disappointed.

But he also understood that the other party was probably not lying. If he were someone with immense power, he wouldn't stand idly by and let this pill proliferate.

This is something that can change the landscape of the cultivation world.

People tend to turn a blind eye to small-scale refining, since it doesn't have a significant impact. However, it's absolutely unacceptable to allow large-scale refining.

His "Life and Death Together" talisman is the same.

If one of these images appears occasionally, it will be highly sought after, but if it is sold on a large scale, it will inevitably be suppressed or even eliminated by various forces.

"If I'm willing to pay a high price, Elder Yu, could you help me buy some more? The more, the better."

Chen Lin tentatively inquired.

“I can give it a try, but it would be better to wait for the city lord to return and let him handle it. I’m just an Eternal cultivator, and I don’t have much influence on Danwang Island.”

"Then thank you very much, Elder."

Chen Lin expressed his gratitude.

Let's test the effects of the pills later before deciding whether to put in more effort.

Perhaps the treasure vault of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace will also appear.

Thinking about it.

Chen Lin picked up the second item.

"This is a treasure token."

"With this item, you can choose any treasure from the city lord's treasury. It can be any kind, including top-level supernatural powers and secret techniques, supreme-level treasures, and materials that are rarely seen outside."

Elder Yu immediately began to explain.

Thank you.

Chen Lin thanked him again.

After putting it away, I looked at the last thing, which was a box. When I opened it, there was a bottle of golden liquid inside.

He looked at Elder Yu.

The other party immediately said, "This is Fan Jinling Liquid, which can enhance the purity of a bloodline cultivator's bloodline. In the previous battle, Fellow Daoist Chen seemed to have used bloodline power, so I sent over a bottle."

"Elder Yu is very kind."

Chen Lin had never heard of this kind of spiritual liquid, but since the other party could produce it, its level must be quite high.

"Hahaha."

Elder Yu laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoist Chen has saved my Dream City this time. This little thing is nothing. When the City Lord returns, there will be even more rewards. Fellow Daoist is busy with affairs, so I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he got up and took his leave.

I walked to the door.

He paused for a moment.

He turned to Chen Lin and said, "The allied forces formed by various major powers are currently besieging and eliminating the strange creatures in the central area, and have also issued a merit reward system."

"If you are confident, you can go and earn some merit points."

"As far as I know, the treasures that the major powers have brought out this time are of a high level, and there are many rare items."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Yu."

Chen Lin replied.

But he doesn't plan to go.

On one hand, he was eager to improve his cultivation level; on the other hand, there were definitely people from Four Seasons Manor and Heavenly God Palace in the allied forces, and encountering them would be troublesome.

If you happen to encounter the old fisherman of Tianhu, it would be a loss for you.

Elder Yu didn't say anything more, and instead of letting Chen Lin continue to escort him, he flew away.

Chen Lin then returned to his cave.

He summoned Leng Yue, instructed her to take over the territory and shops, and asked her to closely monitor the movements of the allied forces in order to deduce the start time of the Great Pilgrimage.

then.

He tried the Broken Profound Pill.

Indeed, it is extremely mysterious.

Among the lines of his self, there are four that are very hidden and tough. He had tried to cut one of them before, but failed and suffered a severe backlash. He only recovered after using the juice of the Beauty Finger.

After using this elixir.

He chose this path again, which was at least half as strong as before. With his increased strength, he severed it in one strike.

Although it suffered a backlash, it was still within the acceptable range.

"No wonder they're restricted."

Inside the cultivation room, Chen Lin exclaimed in amazement. The effects of this pill were truly miraculous; for a cultivator like him who relied solely on cultivating his own unique path, it was practically a divine pill!
He finished his work and stood up.

Chen Lin paced back and forth in the room.

He just checked, and the elixir is not listed in the treasure catalog of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace.

He can only obtain a large quantity by himself.

However, Bai Yujing is nowhere to be found. To summon him using the other party's command sword for such a trivial matter might offend the other party.

And Bai Lingyu.

We'll have to wait until the trade fair.

What he lacks most right now is time; otherwise, with his own strength, he could slowly wear down the enemy and sever all ties between them.

"If only Lu Ming were here."

Chen Lin couldn't help but miss that dissolute king.

The other party has an eccentric personality, but an extremely powerful background. If we ask for their help, getting the pills won't be a problem.

I tried again.

We still can't contact Kashima through the Zodiac Secret Realm, and we have no way of knowing his situation.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Lin stopped thinking about it.

The best solution now is to wait for Gu Tianhan to return. He has done Dream City such a great favor, but the reward he received was not much. Asking him to help buy some pills would be a good idea, and he would have no reason to refuse.

I just don't know when they'll be back.

Shake.

Months passed.

Chen Lin and the others all moved to a new location.

It is a towering mountain that reaches into the clouds, and one of the few high mountains on the island.

Elder Yu handled the matter very well, clearing out the area within a dozen miles around the mountain peak and setting up isolation and anti-air formations to prevent other cultivators from disturbing them.

Besides.

At the base of the mountain, a large spirit-gathering array was set up, connected to the energy source of Dream City, making the energy very abundant.

"This is a really nice place."

Leng Yue and Chen Lin stood on the mountaintop, looking around excitedly.

"It's really good."

Chen Lin was also very satisfied.

With this base and three large shops in the market, they have established a foothold here. The only thing they lack is the strength of Leng Yue and the others.

This family business is quite large, and it will be difficult for them to maintain it on their own.

We need to restore Puda and the others as soon as possible.

Thinking about this...

Chen Lin then left the matter unresolved, letting Leng Yue and the others handle the affairs of the camp and the shop on their own, while he returned to Horseshoe Mountain.

It was completely silent here.

Everyone worked very hard, focusing on their cultivation beside the Purple Light Tree, with only one person left to take turns on guard duty.

"Owner."

Now it's Xiao Xun's turn.

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat when he saw the other person.

He immediately asked, "Now that we've arrived at Star Ruins, are you able to contact your mother?"

The other party's mother is a master of the Domination system. If we could invite her over, she would be a great help and could do many things for him.

Xiao Xun's face fell.

He said dejectedly, "I want to see her too, but she doesn't seem to want to see me. No matter how I call out to her, I don't get a response."

immediately.

It also looked worried.

"Master, do you think my mother might be in danger? Should I go find her?"

"You are still too weak."

Chen Lin hurriedly stopped him.

The other party's mother helped him so much in the first place because she wanted him to help take care of her son. If something went wrong, it would be difficult to explain when they met again.

"Ugh!"

Xiao Xun sighed.

"I am indeed too weak. Not only can I not help my mother, but I will also hold you back, Master."

"It's okay, it will get better."

Chen Lin patted the other person's head, then walked into the palace and called Yang Tian out.

"How's your talent improvement going?"

He didn't want to wait any longer and decided to try using the Xuanjin Spear as a medium to try and remove the abnormal status of the little white snake and the others using that property. However, in order to increase the success rate, he still needed the other party's assistance.

"Master, it's barely usable."

Yang Tian understood Chen Lin's meaning and immediately gave his answer.

Chen Lin's spirits lifted.

The fact that the other party responded in this way indicates that their talent and abilities have improved significantly.

"Come with me."

Give a greeting.

The two walked into another newly built building next door.

Dissolving the strange rules could easily lead to the leakage of energy, so it couldn't be done in the palace to avoid affecting other people and the small tree.

Enter the secret room.

Chen Lin first set up several formations.

Then take out the bird that Sun Caiyi had transformed into.

She was the most severely infected and in the worst condition; she had already lost consciousness. Even if she wasn't his Daoist partner, he had to save her first.

"You don't need to suppress the strange rules. The main thing is to use the characteristics of her talent to cleanse her body, making the strange rules within her fluctuate and become clearer."

After making preparations, Chen Lin solemnly gave his instructions.

Yang Tian nodded.

A white light emanated from between his brows, and he extended his finger, touching the top of Sun Caiyi's head.

immediately.

A white halo appeared over the entire body of the blackbird.

But immediately.

Then a strange aura rose up again, and the white halo became dim and flickering, with black lines appearing.

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Lin's eyes.

Without hesitation, he immediately thrust out the Xuanjin spear in his hand and pierced it directly into the black bird's brow.

Then, by manipulating that property, the manifested 'lines of rules' are eliminated.

soon.

A black line in the halo began to fade.

Then came the second and third points.

However, these black lines only faded, they did not completely disappear. As soon as Chen Lin stopped moving, they would become clear again.

"Humph."

Chen Lin snorted coldly.

Take out the last bottle of Beauty Finger Juice, open it, and let a drop fall into Sun Caiyi's mouth.

Then the black gold spear was pushed forward a little further.

And it shakes slightly.

Sun Caiyi's body immediately began to tremble.

Its vitality vanished quickly, its feathers fell off piece by piece, and in an instant it became skin and bones.

same.

The black lines in the halo also faded rapidly, breaking off one by one, and instantly turned into nothingness.

The body continues to twist and contort.

In a final flash, he transformed back into human form.

"All right."

Chen Lin reminded Yang Tian to stop.

Yang Tian swayed twice, then passed out.

Upon seeing this.

Chen Lin picked up the prepared variegated crystal marrow, gave some to the other person to drink, and then turned his attention to Sun Caiyi.

At this moment, the strange aura in the other party's body has been completely eliminated, but the already damaged soul has been severely injured again, and the body has also been seriously damaged. If it weren't for the juice from the beauty's finger keeping a sliver of life, the soul would have already been scattered.

Whether he can be saved remains to be seen. (End of Chapter)
