Whether they are mortals or practitioners, not many people can face death calmly.
Duan Shengbi is obviously not.
Chen Lin likes people like this. As long as they have desires, they are easy to control.
"I can indeed help you, but the cost is high and you need to devote your loyalty."
He looked at the other person and spoke calmly.
In order to extend his longevity, Duan Shengping did not hesitate to risk nine deaths to explore the nightmare world. Now that he saw the hope of survival, he immediately grabbed it without hesitation.
Regardless of his old face and his status as the family patriarch, he lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground.
"In this short life, a villain is willing to accept adults as his masters and accept their orders throughout his life without any complaints!"
Chen Lin nodded slightly.
"Get up, your words are not valid, you still need to sign a contract with the nightmare world."
A demonic monk with a short lifespan cannot be trusted with his words. Only if he is bound by a powerful contract can he be safe.
However, he doesn't need the other party's absolute loyalty. He first lets the other party collect the Absolute Spirit Orb, and then decides whether to keep it with him depending on the situation.
Duan Shengping also knew that the contract was inevitable, and calmly left his mark on the contract.
The strength of the Nightmare World Contract is stronger than most contracts.
Chen Lin often used this kind of master-servant contract. It was quickly drawn up and he smiled after signing it.
"Very good, my name is Chen Lin. From now on, you will be my subordinate. I have always been a good opponent. As long as you are loyal and do not betray, the benefits I will give you will not be less."
"Thank you, sir."
Duan Shengsheng was also heartbroken.
Since the other party has wasted so much effort, there must be a way for him to leave alive. Although he has become a slave, at least his life is saved. As for the future, we can only wait until later.
Chen Lin thought for a while and took out his title token.
First cut off the connection between Gu Jinliang and reassemble a new clone token.
Then he looked at Duan Shengping and said:
"You can only complete the task by yourself, outsiders can't help, so I can't let you complete the task, but I know a shop here that sells treasures that can be used to escape this scene. I can help you buy them."
"But if you leave like this, you will be trapped next time you come in, so we cannot use this place as the place to meet."
Chen Lin shook the clone token and said: "This is the entry certificate for a special nightmare world. If you put your soul mark into it, you can enter with my permission. I can also use the token at any time.
Just summon you and you and I can meet there, and you can enter in person there, which is also convenient for delivering items."
After speaking, hand the token to the other party.
There has been no contact with Gu Jinliang. There is no need to wait any longer. Whether he lives or dies depends on the fate of the other party.
The vacant attendant slots can be used by the other party first.
Because in addition to the Absolute Soul Bead, he also has to ask the other party to collect other resources. The Absolute Soul Bead can be manifested in a projected state, but other things cannot and can only be delivered in the fief.
Duan Shengsheng was full of surprise.
He secretly guessed what the background of the person in front of him was. She could control a nightmare scene. She was probably more powerful than the witch who hired him. It would be even more difficult to get rid of her control.
He was muttering in his heart, but Duan Shengping didn't show it on his face. He followed Chen Lin's instructions respectfully and bound the clone token.
Chen Lin is quite satisfied with this attitude.
Then he took out the arena ticket and a thousand nightmare coins and handed them to Duan Shengping.
"I'll give you these two things, a thousand nightmare coins, and a ring ticket. You can take it to the Wenxuan Pavilion opposite, where they sell a city departure document that allows you to be exempted from mission penalties and leave this scene once."
He didn't plan to follow because he was afraid that entering the store together would trigger the 'defense' rule. Letting the other party enter alone would also allow him to intuitively feel the value of his things.
"Thank you, sir!"
Duan Shengping hurriedly saluted and took the things.
He knows the value of nightmare coins. They are the currency of the nightmare world and are very precious.
The man who hired him searched everywhere for these things, but he didn't find much. When he came in, he brought five of them to him, and now the owner gave him a thousand at a time.
Make a decision.
As for the ring ticket, he also saw the introduction on the stone tablet next to the ring. It is something that needs to be defended three times to get it. It is also a must-have voucher for shopping in the store here. Needless to say, its value.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
Holding the two items, Duan Shengping looked excited and trotted towards the designated store.
In fact, Chen Lin needless to say, he has been trapped here for nearly three months. In addition to asking for arena tickets when entering, he has visited all the other shops. He has already seen the documents for leaving the city that Chen Lin mentioned, but he has neither
Nightmare Coin, and no arena tickets, could only stare blankly.
Soon, Duan Shengping bought the documents from leaving the city.
Chen Lin explained something and asked him to leave first.
Duan Shengping couldn't wait any longer and immediately activated the document from leaving the city. The document turned into a ball of light and enveloped it before disappearing.
Chen Lin stood nearby and quietly sensed it. He didn't find anything mysterious, so he didn't think about it anymore.
This city-leaving document has very limited functions and is only suitable for use in this city. Unlike the forcible crossing scroll, it can be exempted from mission restrictions in any scenario.
Of course, the values of the two cannot be compared.
However, Chen Lin believed that the forcible scroll also had levels, and the one he had obtained before would probably be useless in the golden scene.
The golden scene is already on another level, and the various restrictions are definitely stronger.
Correspondingly, the level of the treasure is definitely higher. If you can get one or two pieces, it will be of great significance to improve your own strength.
This is why he did not hesitate to waste the arena tickets and nightmare coins to accept Duan Shengsheng.
If he can obtain a large number of Absolute Spiritual Orbs, he can speed up the exploration of the black and white chess piece scene. He has no shortage of crystal sand and low-level resources. As long as he is willing to pay, there are many experienced cultivators who are willing to explore the path.
While thinking, Chen Lin visited the store.
I actually purchased a powerful nightmare treasure, but unfortunately it is a one-time use and cannot be tested. I don’t know if it can be used in the real world.
When he didn't encounter anything good again, he didn't waste his arena tickets and wandered around other places. He returned to the real world without waiting for Liu Rumian.
Three days later.
Chen Lin entered Wanzu City again and came to look under the giant monument.
But the secret message has not changed.
Although he was anxious, he had no choice but to continue waiting.
A total of three dates were agreed upon, three days later, one month later, and three months later.
If he can't wait for the other party during this period, he can go to Tianji Pavilion to inquire. However, as long as he goes to Tianji Pavilion, his identity will be exposed, and he doesn't know if it will cause trouble.
So it’s best not to go.
Returning to the real world, Chen Lin visited various cities and towns, and then continued to study the magic in the cave.
One day ten days later, his expression changed and he entered the fief.
Then he took out his title token.
At this moment, the token emits fluctuations that only he can sense, indicating that the person holding the clone token is coming in.
After agreeing to the request, Duan Shengping's figure immediately appeared.
"Meet the adults!"
Duan Shengping glanced at his surroundings and bowed in greeting.
Chen Lin looked at the other party.
This time, the real body entered, and one could see at a glance the opponent's initial level of cultivation of the golden elixir, and the fluctuations in magic power were obvious, so there was no doubt that he was practicing demonic techniques.
Although the Shangyuan Domain cultivates laws, the cultivation systems are different, and the energy attributes ultimately formed are also very different.
Immortal cultivators form magic power, which is condensed into immortal power after arriving in the virtual realm. The nervous system is relatively complex, but most of them are based on faith and exert divine power.
Demon cultivators also cultivate magic power.
Although in theory, which kind of law to practice is not limited by the cultivation system, there are also distinctions between suitable and unsuitable ones.
Demonic cultivators practice mostly the laws of darkness, Buddhist cultivators focus on cause and effect, and ghost cultivators practice the laws of yin and underworld. They are all different.
This is not much different from the Lower Yuan Domain.
The difference between the Upper Yuan Realm and the Lower Yuan Realm is that the rules have become laws, and all living beings are born with the characteristics of laws.
"Have you left that employer?"
Chen Lin asked expressionlessly.
Duan Shengping responded immediately and said: "Sir, I have already left. I got back the information about that scene. The other party did not embarrass me, and the promised rewards were all fulfilled."
Chen Lin was a little surprised.
It is rare for a demon cultivator to keep his promise like this. It seems that the other party is right. Although the Demonic Heaven Realm is a gathering place for demon cultivators, the cultivation atmosphere is not bad.
During these days, he also made some inquiries, and found that there was indeed a place called Demonic Heaven Realm, but it was at the southern end of the Borderless City, far away from Vientiane City, and there was no direct teleportation array.
Borderless is really too big.
"Where is the Jueling Pearl? Is there any news?"
Chen Lin asked again.
Duan Shengping immediately took out a jade box from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Chen Lin.
"Sir, after receiving the reward from the person who hired me, my subordinates started to mobilize the tribe to collect it. Finally, they fulfilled their mission and purchased a fifth-level absolute spirit bead."
"oh?"
Chen Lin was surprised.
The other party only has a cultivation level of golden elixir, and he claims to be the patriarch of a small family, the highest cultivation level in the clan. It is not easy for a family like this to purchase the life bead of a fifth-level medicine.
He opened the box and checked it. It was indeed the same as the one hanging around the other person's neck.
"I'm determined."
Chen Lin praised it, covered the box and put it away.
Then take out a storage bag.
He handed it to the opponent and said, "Here is a sum of crystal sand, as well as some materials and treasures. Take it, pick out what you can use, and exchange what you can't use for the Absolute Spirit Bead. I will use this Absolute Spirit Bead."
It takes a lot, so you have to hurry up.”
"yes!"
Duan Shengping took the storage bag and checked it subconsciously, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
Although the space inside is not big, it is full of good things, including earth-level treasures, and the crystal sand is as big as a hill!
This master is too generous!
But after the joy, Duan Shengsheng showed hesitation again.
"What, is it difficult?"
Chen Lin saw this and asked.
Duan Shengping said respectfully: "Sir, the number of Jueling Pearls is already very small. The area where I am located has been basically looted by the witch who hired me. I am afraid it will be difficult to purchase in large quantities."
"Then go to other areas, or hire people to go hunting at sea. In short, I don't care what method you use, you must collect this object as soon as possible. If you lack resources, you can ask me for it!"
