I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chen Lin repeatedly stroked the strange object in his hand.

Just as the young man in white had said, it resembled a round badge with a recessed clasp on the back and a raised abstract pattern on the front.

There were no other abnormalities.

No matter what energy or method is used, it cannot be activated. Only under the shimmering light of the Purple Heart Sword can one sense the subtle changes in its positive and negative directions.

But it couldn't go any further.

I spent half a day studying it.

Unable to find a way out of the predicament, Chen Lin relied on drawing more than a dozen portraits of badges by trial and error, and selected the two with the highest degree of accuracy to give to Mingzhi and Qingyu.

"You two go and investigate to see if there are any treasures similar to this thing."

"Oh, right."

Chen Lin then picked up his silver brush and drew dozens of portraits of mandarin duck boards and metal fragments.

It was handed over to the two of them.

"Find these two items as well, and issue a reward in the name of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace. Anyone who can provide them can ask for any treasure they need."

"Yes!"

The two women agreed and left.

Chen Lin touched his chin, feeling that there weren't enough people to handle the situation.

Now that all the forces in the Northern Cold Realm have gathered, it is a good time to collect the necessary items, but he himself needs to guard this place and cannot go to other cities.

I need to find someone to help me.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a few people with me."

Chen Lin secretly criticized Bai Lingyu.

He didn't explain the situation clearly when he issued the task, and he thought it was a chaotic place. He didn't bring anyone with him. Otherwise, he would have brought a few people, and things wouldn't be so difficult.

Shake.

Several more months have passed.

No one else came to offer treasures, but many powerful individuals, upon learning that the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace had been built in the market, came to visit. However, after discovering that the place did not live up to its reputation, they lost interest.

Over time.

It became deserted.

Chen Lin didn't care and continued to send Mingzhi and the other two women out to investigate, while he focused on refining the 'Holy Spirit' in the shop.

To perform a second soul-searching ritual, the Hundred Saints Soul-Searching Technique is essential. Currently, the minimum of thirty-six top-grade Soul-Searching Pearls have been collected, and several Sovereign-level spirits have also been gathered. These will be condensed and prepared in advance to avoid wasting time later.

The Trial of Ascension could begin at any time, so make the most of every opportunity to improve your strength.

Besides the second soul release.

Chen Lin is still collecting spiritual items similar to the magical wine from the Jade Light Kingdom's treasure vault, hoping to evolve another aspect of his mind.

The Purple Heart Sword boosted his combat power significantly, and if he were to condense another one, he would be even more confident in facing ordinary rulers.

But the wine is something that can only be found by chance.

Jade Light Kingdom is, after all, a primordial-level power, so the quality of its treasures is unimaginable. In the entire Star Ruins, it is estimated that only powers like Heavenly Dragon Kingdom possess such treasures.

Chen Lin entered a meditative state once again.

While familiarizing himself with the use of the Purple Heart Sword, he also devoted himself to refining the Holy Spirit, using almost all of his contribution points from the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace on this.

Simultaneously.

She scattered handfuls of iridescent crystals, sending Mingzhi to search for sovereign-level spirits in various markets.

You know what?

Now that all the major forces in Xiangyang City have gathered, spirits that were originally impossible can occasionally appear, but at an astonishing price, causing Chen Lin's reserves of colorful crystals to shrink rapidly.

"Has Elder Bai not sent a message yet?"

This day.

Chen Lin successfully condensed another Holy Spirit, and walked out of the cultivation room to ask Mingzhi.

"No, sir."

Mingzhi shook her head.

Then he suggested, "Should I go to North Cold City to check on the situation?"

Chen Lin thought for a moment.

He still disagreed, saying, "Since the elder arranged for us to be here, there must be a deeper reason. We should not act rashly and continue collecting treasures."

"Yes."

Akie responded respectfully.

At this time.

Qingyu walked in from outside and quickly came to Chen Lin.

"Sir, someone is looking for you. They say they are your daughter."

"daughter?"

Chen Lin was taken aback.

Chen Ling'er is in the Seven Star Realm. Could it be that they have already entered the Star Ruins and arrived here?

But then I immediately thought it was unlikely.

Without powerful teleportation methods, even if they came from the Star Ruins, it would take a very long time to get here, and Chen Ling'er and the others do not have such an ability.

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Lin thought of someone, immediately used his soul sense to investigate, and quickly walked towards the front hall.

"Siyue greets her father."

Wen Siyue, who was waiting in the front hall, immediately stood up and bowed when she saw Chen Lin.

Chen Lin looked him over.

He smiled and said, "It seems you're doing quite well in the Yin Yang Sect; your cultivation is almost catching up with mine."

The person who arrived was Wen Siyue.

The opponent has already reached the mid-stage of the Eternal Realm, just one step away from entering the late stage, and his aura is obscure, suggesting that he possesses some kind of powerful divine ability.

"How dare a daughter compare to her father?"

Wen Siyue spoke respectfully.

Unlike Chen Ling'er, although she also lived with Chen Lin for a long time, Chen Lin's cultivation level was already very high at that time, so she respected him more than she was close to him.

Chen Lin could naturally sense it too.

I sighed inwardly.

He said in a gentle tone, "Don't be shy. You are now a high-level cultivator and a disciple of a major sect like the Yin Yang Sect. You are capable of standing on your own. I am very happy for you and your brother."

talking.

Then he asked, "How is your brother now?"

"He's alright, but he was injured recently and is recuperating at the sect, so he didn't participate in this expedition."

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"What caused your injury? Was it from a fight?"

"No."

Wen Siyue immediately shook her head.

"He was carrying out a mission for the sect. He is now out of danger. He will probably be among the next group sent. We will have him come to pay his respects to my father then."

A brief explanation is provided.

She said respectfully again, "Last time, my brother and I broke the sect rules. It was thanks to Father that Senior Sister Yuan helped us. Otherwise, my brother and I would still be being punished, and our cultivation levels would probably have dropped."

"You don't need to be so polite with me."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

He then asked, "Where is Yuan Nianzhen now? Has she returned to the Yin Yang Sect?"

"Senior Sister Yuan benefited from the last battle against the strange invasion and has already advanced to the Dominator Realm. She is still honing her supernatural abilities in the sect and will probably come with the next team."

"Has she also advanced to the level of a Dominator?"

Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh.

When he first met the other party, the other party's cultivation level was not very high. How long has it been? The other party has actually advanced to the position of Sovereign, which is even more powerful than his own.

The grand pilgrimage to the mysterious kingdom did benefit many powerful figures in the Star Ruins, and all the major sects also benefited, but only the major sects. It was not easy for independent cultivators to share the benefits.

I didn't think about it anymore.

Chen Lin asked, "Did Yuan Nianzhen mention Deer Island after she went back?"

Compared to Yuan Nianzhen, he was more concerned about the situation on Deer Island. He wondered if the place had returned to normal after the strange invasion ended, and whether New Sprout was still alive.

Because of the great distance and the threat posed by the old fisherman of Tianhu Lake, he did not go to Deer Island to check after returning from the dark area, and always wanted to find out the specific situation.

And Lu Ming.

Although that person is unconventional, they are also a generous customer. If we can still contact them, we'll have another channel to purchase the cultivation materials we need. "I haven't heard Senior Sister Yuan mention this before."

Wen Siyue pondered before answering.

"let it go."

Chen Lin did not ask any further questions.

Suppress your thoughts.

Looking at Wen Siyue, he said, "It's been many years since we last met. You've become a high-level cultivator. There's not much I can do to help you. If you need any cultivation resources, just let me know. Don't be shy."

"My daughter has sufficient resources for spiritual practice."

Wen Siyue touched the fish-shaped jade pendant at her waist, and a metal fragment appeared in her hand.

It was handed to Chen Lin.

“I came to Xiangyang City with my senior brother from the sect to check the situation. I heard that my father was looking for this kind of fragment. Luckily, my senior brother had one, so I traded it to him and gave it to my father.”

"Oh?"

Chen Lin took the metal fragment with surprise.

Without even looking, I could tell it was the kind he needed, and bigger than his two pieces.

"good."

He smiled with satisfaction: "It has to be a daughter. Your father did not spoil you for nothing when you were young. Did your senior brother ever say where this item came from?"

"It's a treasure chest."

Wen Siyue answered immediately.

Then he said with concern, "Most of the items that come out of the exquisite treasure chest have the effect of automatically recognizing their owner. Although my senior brother said that he did not feel any special connection with this item and could not control it, we cannot be sure whether it recognizes its owner."

"Does Father have the same fragment? We can try to see if it can be used."

"It came from the exquisite treasure chest..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately probed the gourd cave with his soul and retrieved the fragment from the stone.

Place it in one place.

The two fragments simultaneously emitted light and instantly attracted each other, merging together.

There are now a few more characters above.

But it's still incomplete.

"This seems to be a cultivation technique inheritance?"

Wen Siyue saw the characters on the metal fragment and asked curiously.

"Hard to say."

Chen Lin handed the fragments to his daughter.

He said in a deep voice, "This thing is definitely extraordinary. Write down the characters on it first; you never know when you might need them."

"Ah."

Wen Siyue agreed and quickly wrote down the characters.

Chen Lin then took out another elixir bottle.

It was placed in Wen Siyue's hands.

"This is a fake pill. It can temporarily grant cultivators forbidden power and also replenish the divine radiance of gods. You can use it; it can be useful in certain situations."

"A elixir used by the gods?"

As a disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect, Wen Siyue naturally knew what the deities referred to, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

Chen Lin nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Didn't you and your brother practice a combined technique? Why did you act separately?"

The two siblings are twins. Influenced by the Twin Lotus Treasure, they are naturally complementary in yin and yang. This is why the Yin-Yang Sect took a liking to them. The two can exert extraordinary combat power when they work together, so they should not be separated.

Wen Siyue's expression darkened.

He sighed, "The senior brother who led us away from Qiren Island had high hopes for my brother and me, and we were very confident. But when we arrived at Xingxu, we realized that geniuses are everywhere."

"Soon we'll just blend into the crowd."

"My brother and I, in order to improve our cultivation, were misled and secretly sneaked into the sect's forbidden area, trying to steal the power of the Yin Yang Sect's secret treasure, but we were caught red-handed."

"Then I was punished, and many years were wasted."

"If it weren't for Father asking Senior Sister Yuan for help, and Senior Sister Yuan breaking through to the Dominator Realm, we would have been in unimaginable danger."

Chen Lin sighed upon hearing this.

With a look of shame, he said, "Back then, I was barely able to protect myself, and I couldn't provide you with a good environment for cultivation. I'm sorry that you two had to suffer."

“Our father has already helped us enough.”

Wen Siyue hurriedly spoke.

"My brother and I weren't fortunate enough, but the outcome was still good. We've both escaped our predicament, and my brother has entered the Eternal Realm. If we can achieve merit this time, we can obtain a deeper level of cultivation techniques when we return."

"Oh, right."

She looked at Chen Lin.

"I came to see my father to find out about my mother's condition. It's been so many years since we last saw her, and my brother and I miss her very much."

"Your mother is still inside the boundary river."

Chen Lin explained Wen Xinzhao's situation.

He then added, “I have now established two footholds in the Star Ruins, one in Dream City and the other in Horseshoe Mountain in the north. If you are not happy in the Yin-Yang Sect, go to these two places.”

"If the Yin Yang Sect doesn't release them, I'll find a way to resolve this."

"No need to trouble Father."

Wen Siyue shook her head.

Suddenly, a murderous aura emanated from him.

He said in a deep voice, "Although the sect punished us, we were indeed at fault first. Moreover, my brother and I were tricked, and we cannot let this grudge go unavenged. We must eliminate that person before we can have peace of mind."

Chen Lin's face twitched.

My daughter has a strong murderous streak; it seems she's been through a lot over the years.

But he didn't try to dissuade him further.

The other party is no longer the girl she once was. She has cultivated for tens of thousands of years and her shrewdness is probably deeper than his. He no longer needs to interfere with what she does. He only needs to help when he can.

"What's that person's name?"

Although he didn't want to get involved, Chen Lin couldn't help but ask.

"Call him Shangguan Yu."

Wen Siyue replied.

He immediately said, "Father, don't worry, I can handle this. The Yin Yang Sect is very exclusive, and infighting among its disciples is common. But if outsiders interfere, the sect elders will definitely retaliate."

"I know what's important."

Chen Lin kept this name in his heart.

then.

After chatting for a while, Wen Siyue got up to take her leave.

He took out a communication jade talisman.

She handed the document to Chen Lin and said, "I have a mission to complete, so I won't delay any longer. If you need me to do anything, please let me know."

Chen Lin also took out a communication device and handed it to the other party.

He then took out a "Shooting Star" talisman and other high-level resources, handing them all over to the other party.

Only then did he see them off outside the shop, watching them walk away into the distance.

No sooner had Wen Siyue left than Chen Lin arrived at the back hall to visit again.

This was completely unexpected for Chen Lin.

The one who arrived was actually Princess Yudie from the Kingdom of Moyu!

"Please forgive us for not welcoming the princess properly."

Although he didn't know the other party's intentions, Chen Lin still maintained a certain level of politeness. Moyu Kingdom was a primordial kingdom, and it certainly wouldn't lack rare treasures, making it a rare trading partner.

"No need for formalities."

Princess Yudie sat down in the chair with an air of familiarity.

Looking at Chen Lin, he said, "I'm in a hurry. I came to ask you if you'd be interested in participating in a treasure hunt."

"Where to go?"

Chen Lin sat down and asked calmly.

"Don't play dumb. Where can you go treasure hunting here? Of course, it's the Nameless Secret Realm. I have a map of the secret realm, where there might be treasures. If you're interested, let's team up and split the spoils fifty-fifty."

Why did you contact me?

Chen Lin remained noncommittal, instead continuing to inquire. (End of Chapter)
