I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

"Master, someone is looking for you."

As soon as they entered the camp, Leng Yue stepped forward to report.

"who?"

"They say her name is Yue Yingxian, and she is a good friend of my master."

"Oh?"

Chen Lin was quite surprised.

"What about people?"

"I've settled her in a guest room. She should be at the market by now. Should I send her a message?"

"no need."

After replying, Chen Lin looked outside.

Then a familiar figure appeared, led by Tian Shu, and entered the room.

It was Yue Yingxian.

"Haha, it's been a long time since we last met, Fellow Daoist Yue. You've become more and more elegant and your cultivation has improved considerably."

"Brother Chen, you flatter me. My changes are nothing compared to yours. You are now renowned far and wide, otherwise I wouldn't even know you were here."

Yue Yingxian was all smiles.

Chen Lin smiled and invited the other party to sit down, then personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea.

"Oh, right."

"Does Fellow Daoist Yue have any contact with Zhou Anshi? How is he doing now?"

The three of them left the Shadow Scholar's Secret Realm together, sharing hardships and joys. He still had Zhou Anshi's communication device, but because the other party was cultivating at Datian Lake, he had never tried to contact him.

"We've been in contact with him. He's already advanced to the Eternal Realm and joined the Myriad Stars Tower."

"Wanxinglou?"

Chen Lin looked slightly puzzled.

He seemed to have never heard of such a powerful force.

However, Zhou Anshi possesses a powerful spatial talent, and after breaking through to the Eternal Realm, his strength will undoubtedly be outstanding, so there is no need for him to join a small faction.

"That was a trading company."

Yue Yingxian answered.

"Originally, they only opened stores in major high-level star regions. Now, with the invasion of strange creatures and the change in the power structure, they have also begun to set up operations in the Star Ruins to compete with the three major merchant guilds."

"Oh?"

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

"How strong is this Myriad Stars Pavilion, and how many kinds of treasures does it possess?"

"They are very strong."

"The trading company itself has several powerful rulers, including some at the fifth and sixth tiers, and has also hired many retainers. The owner behind it is very mysterious."

"According to rumors."

"It is very likely related to a hidden force from ancient times."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

In that case, it would really be necessary to contact Zhou Anshi to see if we could purchase the Duanxuan Pill through Wanxinglou's channels.

Suppress your thoughts for now.

He looked at Yue Yingxian across from him.

He asked bluntly, "Fellow Daoist Yue, your trip here is surely not just about catching up, is there anything else?"

"how."

"Can't I just simply reach out to you and catch up?"

Yue Yingxian gave a half-smile.

He teased, "No matter what, we went through an invisible tribulation together, a tribulation of love. In a way, we're practically husband and wife. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chen looks down on my plain appearance?"

"Haha."

Chen Lin laughed heartily.

"If that's how Fellow Daoist Yue puts it, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll send out invitations soon and invite everyone to come and celebrate our wedding."

"Ugh!"

Yue Yingxian sighed softly.

"It's a pity I've been married before and have a daughter, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible for me to give myself to you. But I don't have that thought now. Being alone is fine too."

"okay."

"I'm not joking with you anymore. I'm here on behalf of the Allied Forces to find out your thoughts and what price you'd have to pay to get you to come out of retirement."

Chen Lin also stopped teasing.

Shake his head.

“I have nothing to hide from Fellow Daoist Yue. It’s not that I don’t want to serve the Allied Forces, but the situation doesn’t allow it. I’m sure you also know about my grudges with Four Seasons Manor.”

"besides."

"I also offended the Heavenly God Palace. Back when I was on Great Yellow Star, I killed Mocha of the Five Old Cities and Bagu of Starlight Cave. I can say that I have offended all the major powers."

"Do you think I would still dare to join the coalition forces?"

Yue Yingxian remained silent for a moment.

He sighed again.

“I knew you had such concerns. I didn’t want to accept this mission of persuasion, but I really wanted to see how you were doing. If it weren’t for you, neither Zhou Anshi nor I would have survived.”

“But my cultivation level is too low, so I have no say in the Ten Clans Village and can’t solve these problems.”

"If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go. I'll find a reason to report it."

"but."

Yue Yingxian took out a jade talisman.

It was placed in front of Chen Lin.

"This is a recording talisman issued by the Allied Forces. You are Xingjun, and you have the ability to subdue strange creatures. You can hunt strange creatures on your own and then collect merits by taking the recorded images."

"The merits earned by the Allied Forces are still very useful; they can be exchanged for many rare treasures."

"it is good."

Chen Lin did not refuse.

He is about to traverse the void to reach Deer Island. There is a good chance he will encounter strange creatures along the way. There might even be a king-level strange clone on Deer Island. It would be good to collect some merit points along the way.

"Does Fellow Daoist Yue know about the Broken Profound Pill?"

After putting away the jade talisman, Chen Lin tentatively inquired.

"know."

Yue Yingxian nodded.

"The newly developed pills on Danwang Island caused quite a stir, but after being pressured by various forces, they have stopped being refined, and not many have been released so far."

After speaking, he looked Chen Lin up and down.

"Brother Chen has chosen his own unique path of cultivation?"

"Ah."

Chen Lin hummed in agreement.

He asked directly, "Does your village of ten surnames have any purchasing channels? I'd like to buy some; price isn't an issue."

Yue Yingxian remained silent for a while.

Finally, I agreed.

"I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will work."

He paused for a moment.

She added, "We can let Zhou Anshi try at Wanxinglou as well, and there are also the three major merchant houses. I heard that Brother Chen has a good relationship with Jingyun Merchant House, so they must have some."

"Furthermore."

"It's the treasure trove of the Allied Forces."

"It's available there too. You can exchange it with your merit points. Although the required merit points are not low, it's the best way to obtain a large amount."

"I see."

Chen Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll leave the matter of contacting Zhou Anshi to you. It's not advisable for me to appear in the sight of those major powers right now; it's better to keep a low profile."

"Row."

Yue Yingxian readily agreed.

Then take out a storage bag.

It was placed in front of Chen Lin.

"Here are some variegated crystals, the share I promised you. I hope they're not too late."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

"Forget it, I don't need this now. Keep it for yourself. Focus on improving your cultivation. It won't be long before the Star Ruins undergo a major change, and your current cultivation level is still too low."

"Brother Chen, do you have some inside information?"

Yue Yingxian was taken aback.

The Ten Clans Village is one of the top ten powerful forces, yet they had never heard such news before, which inevitably made them somewhat suspicious.

"Inaccurate, but highly likely."

Chen Lin gave a vague answer.

This was just a feeling he had, but his intuition was always very accurate.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Chen."

Yue Yingxian's expression turned serious.

Chen Lin is shrouded in mystery and is extremely enigmatic. He is not only Xing Jun but also has a connection with Bai Yujing. She cannot ignore what he says.

They lingered for several days.

Yue Yingxian took her leave.

Chen Lin didn't wait for a reply, leaving Xiaocao and Puda in Dream City before returning to Horseshoe Mountain.

After making preparations, we decided to set off.

Just then, the little white snake approached him.

“Master, I’ve thought of a way that might allow me to awaken the Zodiac inheritance.”

"any solution?"

Chen Lin responded casually.

Since the other party recovered, he has been thinking about how to activate his own inheritance. He seems to be convinced that the Snake zodiac sign is her. He has made several suggestions, but none of them are very reliable.

“I think if the two of us go to Tiger Hill and tie a love bell on the ivy, it will definitely help me regain my memories.”

The little white snake flicked its tongue and said.

Chen Lin was speechless.

He glanced at the other person.

"Aren't you too idle? If you have nothing to do, go and cultivate."

"real!"

The little white snake immediately explained.

“Master, look, I am your beloved, my love for you is stronger than gold. As long as you call my name, I can unleash my potential.”

Speaking of it.

She was on the verge of tears.

"But my master is always lukewarm towards me, which prevents me from fully unleashing my abilities. However, I also know that my master doesn't like my current form, so I can't win his heart."

"so."

"We need the Love Bell to bless this relationship."

"As long as we tie the knot of eternal love, we will be truly in love according to the rules. My potential will definitely be unleashed, and the inheritance may appear."

Chen Lin touched his chin.

You know what?

The other party's analysis makes some sense.

But he immediately shook his head.

Looking at the other person, he asked, "Do you think the two of us can forge a lasting bond?"

"The 'Long Love Bell' requires absolute love between the two people, and that they are the only ones for each other. We don't meet that requirement in any way, so let's not have any illusions."

"It's not a fantasy."

The little white snake immediately explained.

“My love for you is definitely true, and it’s the only one. Although you don’t have true feelings for me and have many other women, you were able to break through the rules of the Love Vine, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Chen Lin fell into thought again.

a long time.

He nodded.

"Alright, let's give it a try."

Anyway, there's an anchor point for the Zodiac Secret Realm at Tiger Hill, so going there won't take much time. If it works out, his plan can be moved forward quickly.

"what!"

The little white snake was overjoyed when it heard Chen Lin agree.

He urged them repeatedly.

"Then let's go quickly. I feel that my legacy is stirring, just waiting for this opportunity."

Chen Lin gave the other person a deep look.

However, he did not refuse and led the other party into the Zodiac Secret Realm. The next moment, they appeared near Tiger Hill.

It urges the Azure Shuttle to start.

Soon the landscape came into view.

At this moment, Chen Lin remembered the treasure map presented by Zhao Qingchuan. After finishing the matter of the Longing Bell, he should go to the Goose Feather Well. With the new Azure Shuttle, traveling would be much more convenient.

Thinking about this, he flew to the vicinity of Tiger Hill.

His expression immediately changed.

I sensed that there were people above me.

"who!"

As the cold voice rang out, a woman dressed in a red palace dress appeared in front of Chen Lin in a flash, staring at him indifferently.

Chen Lin looked at the other person warily.

However, the other person wore a specially made veil that blocked perception, making it impossible to see their specific appearance. One could only sense that the other person possessed a mysterious aura that made one feel inferior.

"I am only here to establish a lasting bond. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."

Chen Lin cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

At the same time, he quickly sensed that there was no one else on Tiger Hill.

He bowed again.

"If you haven't finished dealing with this yet, then I'll leave now. I'll come back when you're done."

"No need."

The woman in palace attire spoke softly.

"This is not my place, and I have no right to stop you from using it. You can go now. I'm waiting for someone here and won't be leaving anytime soon."

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

Judging from the other party's tone, they intend to stay here for an extended period, which means he doesn't have time to wait.

So he stopped paying attention to it.

He nodded slightly to the other person and then flew up Tiger Hill.

He glanced at the location of the sixteenth wind chime, which was still empty, and then looked at the direction of the second wind chime. His eyes immediately sharpened.

Where the Eternal Love Bell had originally been, a beautiful phoenix hairpin was now hanging!

moment.

Chen Lin thought of a possibility.

A chill ran down my spine.

This woman might be the eldest princess of Yuan Sheng Kingdom. If she were, she would probably tear him to pieces once she knew his identity.

The more you think.

The more I think it's possible, the more likely it seems.

Because the woman was wearing palace attire, but no hairpin in her hair, and this hairpin matched hers very well.

That's incredibly bad luck.

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

His mind raced as he tried to come up with a solution.

This woman must be at least a Dominator level to be able to be with Bai Yujing. He has no ability to resist her and can only hope that she doesn't know him.

Even if you've heard his name, you might not recognize what he looks like.

I forced myself to stay calm.

Chen Lin pretended to be nonchalant and slowly walked towards the back of the vines until he reached the end. He found an empty spot and took the little white snake out of his sleeve.

The little white snake glanced at the woman in palace attire in the distance.

He then ignored it.

He urged Chen Lin, "Master, please begin. I'm ready."

far away.

The woman in palace attire was taken aback.

He then showed interest and drifted back and forth between the white snake and Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was perceptive and naturally noticed that he was being watched, but he could only pretend not to care and try to condense a wind chime with the little white snake, following the method of condensing the Long Love Bell.

A few breaths later.

A flash of light.

A wind chime was then truly formed.

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

It seems the little white snake wasn't just acting; she truly loved him. This made him feel a little ashamed, as he had absolutely no romantic feelings for her, only the affection between companions.

After condensing this long-lasting love bell, he felt nothing.

In contrast, the little white snake.

She seemed to have entered a certain state, her face filled with happiness, and her gaze towards him became even more infatuated.

His lips twitched slightly.

But now was not the time to ask questions. He tucked the other person into his sleeve, gently stroked the wind chime, and then flew to the woman in palace attire.

A fist salute.

"I've already finished my business, and I hope you can do the same."

After saying that, he flew away.

"Wait a minute."

The woman in palace attire suddenly spoke.

Chen Lin froze.

Slowly turn around and calmly look at the other person.

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"nothing."

The woman in palace attire removed the purse from her waist.

He handed it to Chen Lin.

"You were able to form a lasting bond with a snake, which showed me the existence of true love. I'll give you this purse as a gift."

Thank you.

Chen Lin took the purse from his hand.

It took off again and flew away into the distance.

They didn't fly very far; after a dozen or so breaths, they entered the Zodiac Secret Realm and disappeared into the void. (End of Chapter)
