I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

The pagoda has three stories.

The area here is in even worse condition, with the roof exposed to the elements, the surrounding walls incomplete, and the facilities inside severely damaged.

I searched around.

They found nothing of value, only two intangible objects, nothing special about them.

Chen Lin then wasted no more time, flew out of the giant tower, and landed on the open ground outside.

Then he took the blind girl out of the cave and waited quietly in place. He decided to wait for several months. If Bai Lingyu did not come out, he would leave alone.

Whether to continue exploring or return directly depends on the outcome of one's own cultivation.

Do you recognize these medicinal herbs?

Chen Lin took out all the medicinal herbs he had picked, used purple light to make the invisible ones manifest, asked the blind girl a question, and then explained his needs.

He had almost finished using the fish meat and only had one inner core left. If he wanted to continue refining his mind, he could only start with these things.

"I know them all."

The blind woman answered using telepathy.

"However, if the elixir is used directly without being refined, its effect will be much weaker and it may not meet the master's needs. But I know a place where there is a spiritual object that can definitely help the master's mind evolve."

"What is that? How far away is it from here?"

Chen Lin immediately pressed for more information.

He still believed in the blind girl. Although they had been separated for so many years, and she might have changed her mindset, they had no conflict of interest, and he had never used the Nightmare Realm Contract to bind her. She had no reason to harm him.

"It's not far from here."

The blind girl shook the flower and pointed to a certain spot with a petal.

"There's a valley about 500 miles away. Inside the valley is a hidden cave. Once inside, you'll reach a special underground space where there's a spiritual liquid that can refine and enhance high-level energy."

“I went there once before and collected quite a lot, but I’ve used it all up.”

"However, now that nearly ten thousand years have passed, some should be able to be produced again. No one else knows about that place, so I'll take my master there to retrieve them now."

"Five hundred li?"

Chen Lin hesitated.

This distance is negligible under normal circumstances, but it is extremely dangerous here. It is no exaggeration to say that every step is fraught with danger. Once you encounter a powerful supernatural being, you will be in danger of losing your life.

"I understand, let's wait and see."

Without making a decision immediately, Chen Lin had the blind girl describe the names and properties of the spiritual herbs, and then selected a few to refine.

At the same time, continue to study the Zhenhai Sword Technique.

The blind woman didn't say anything more and quietly absorbed energy to recover.

Six months later.

Chen Lin refined everything he could, but failed to evolve the green heart aperture. So he stopped waiting and headed in the direction the blind girl had indicated.

In the past six months, he refined some spiritual herbs, using all the energy to enhance his purple heart aperture.

The power of the Purple Heart Sword has increased significantly.

The inheritance of the Zhenhai Sword Technique was also fully absorbed. Under the initiation of that realistic illusion, coupled with his own understanding of the sword and the theoretical support of the Shadow Scholar, he directly entered a state of perfection.

With this trump card, there's no way we can back down now.

But Chen Lin didn't get arrogant.

He continued to advance on the ground to avoid attracting powerful beings by flying, but by using the Purple Heart Sword to clear a path, his speed increased considerably.

a few days later.

Within a valley, Chen Lin moved swiftly.

He was in a terrible state, his robes were tattered, and he had wounds on his arms and abdomen. He was extremely weak.

"Master, to the right!"

The blind woman urgently sent out a telepathic message.

Chen Lin turned and flew towards a narrow branch on the right, his Purple Heart Sword constantly sweeping forward to avoid colliding with something invisible.

"It's that crack up ahead!"

"After entering, turn left at the first fork, then turn right after passing through another fork..."

The blind woman continued to guide them.

Chen Lin rushed into the crevice following the route and disappeared into the valley.

At this time.

Dozens of dark red shadows shot towards them, resembling apes. The leader's body flickered between light and shadow, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, exuding an eerie aura.

I glanced at it.

The ape leader waved his hand, and his subordinates scattered to explore the surroundings. Half an hour later.

All the monkeys gathered together again and reported to their leader. The monkey leader took to the air, circled around, and finally looked at several cracks in the mountain.

He waved his hand again.

The monkeys then split into several groups and each crawled into a different crevice.

Chen Lin made his way through the maze-like underground passages, relying on the Purple Light Sword to find his way. In the end, he couldn't even remember the route himself, and he didn't know how far he had gone.

More than an hour later.

The blind girl's telepathic message appeared: "Master, this is the place. Behind that row of stalactites, there is a giant protrusion. Move it aside and you will see the entrance. The spirit liquid pool is inside."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin did not delay and immediately went behind the stalactite.

really.

A small hill-like protrusion came into view. He placed his palms on it, activated his Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, and with a forceful movement, the hill was moved away entirely.

A hole was revealed, just big enough for one person to enter.

Having come this far, Chen Lin had no room to back down and jumped without hesitation.

Then the hill returned to its original position.

below.

Chen Lin landed.

A quick glance revealed that I was in a small, irregularly shaped space. The surroundings were uneven, clearly formed naturally. On one side of the ground was a small puddle containing about a small bowl of milky white liquid.

"The spiritual liquid has really been generated again, and there's so much of it!"

The blind woman conveyed her excitement.

Chen Lin also showed a hint of joy, and his tense expression relaxed slightly.

His journey was fraught with difficulties, encountering several attacks from native creatures. In the last instance, he provoked a group of extremely powerful monkeys that nearly killed him.

Especially the monkey leader.

It was strangely somewhere between tangible and intangible, and even the badge's rebound effect was useless, causing him to suffer two attacks in a row. If it weren't for the Zhenhai Sword Technique, which could withstand the attack for a while, he would have had no chance to escape.

They've probably caught up with them to the valley by now.

If there is no spiritual liquid here to improve his strength, he will be trapped here until the Ascension Trial begins, even if he is not found.

The outcome won't be much better then.

Chen Lin walked to the puddle.

Now we'll see if this elixir is as miraculous as the blind girl claims. She says that once the green heart aperture is evolved, it will be able to fight those monkeys.

Also.

If the green orifice represents the soul, it will greatly help him in exorcising the soul, and its effect is immeasurable.

Calm your mind.

Chen Lin waved his hand.

Pick up a drop of liquid, open your mouth and swallow it.

Instantly.

A cool sensation spread through my body, transforming into an indescribable energy that plunged me into a wondrous state.

Moreover, this liquid is not a tangible substance.

It can both manifest and be touched, just like normal spiritual fluids in the outside world.

But here.

That is absolutely extraordinary, belonging to the top-tier spiritual objects.

After sensing for a while and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the spiritual liquid, Chen Lin immediately guided the energy into the green heart aperture, and then swallowed a drop.

Time passed slowly.

One hour later.

After refining a dozen drops of spiritual liquid, the green heart aperture trembled, suddenly closed, and a strange symbol appeared.

Divine spell!

Upon seeing this symbol, Chen Lin's expression shifted.

He had previously thought it was something like characters that could manipulate rules, but after Bai Lingyu explained, he realized that it was actually a kind of Great Dao seal that prevented the advancement of life level.

It can also be considered a kind of tribulation for advancement.

However, when the Red Heart Aperture broke through before, it didn't seem to present any difficulties or other dangers. Hopefully, it will be successful this time as well. (End of Chapter)
