The next day, he sent an elder from the clan to find Chen Lin to discuss the Double Cultivation Ceremony.
This made Chen Lin couldn't help but wonder if the Nanmen family had encountered some trouble and urgently needed to use the name of the Hongming Ancestor to solve it.
Or they discovered the identity of his 'key' and were eager to capture him first.
Otherwise it would be too hasty.
But Chen Lin didn't care about it either.
If he really was the only key to the caged world, that would be great. No one would be safer than him. Those strong men who wanted to leave the other world and seek true immortality would have to fight to protect him.
However, he feels that this key statement is still open to question.
The content recorded in a handbook cannot be distinguished between authenticity and falsehood, so there is no need to over-interpret it.
But there is one thing that Chen Lin still cares about.
It is impossible for him to hold a double cultivation ceremony in the Nanmen family and make it look like marrying into the family.
So as the leader of the Kaiyuan Sect, he purchased an unsustainable sect residence in the outer city of Sanding City, built a branch of the Kaiyuan Sect, and after some simple tidying up, used it as a ceremony venue.
Although time is tight, the momentum of the Double Cultivation Ceremony is still considerable.
The Nanmen family is second only to the three major forces, and was once one of the overlords on the Soul-Dead Continent. There are countless people who want to join them.
If a saintly girl from such a family gets married, if the scene is too bad, the family will lose face.
Chen Lin's place is relatively shabby.
Apart from him, there was only Xiaocao. Later, after Qingquan got the news, he also came over to help host it.
Many people who don't know about it are curious about who he is, and he can actually marry the saint daughter of the Nanmen family with his cultivation in the semi-virtual realm.
Those who knew the inside story kept their mouths shut.
No one dared to talk about Patriarch Hong Ming, and many people even showed up and left to avoid Patriarch Hong Ming's anger.
It is really unheard of for a Taoist couple who is a top real-world expert to publicly hold a double cultivation ceremony with other women outside. It is best not to get involved.
Chen Lin felt this abnormality.
He also understands the reason.
But this was the result he wanted.
Because he wanted to see what Hua Ruyu's reaction would be after knowing this.
From this we can deduce whether there is any other reason why the other party declared to be a Taoist couple with him.
Everything about the ceremony was simple.
But it still lasted three days and three nights.
There is no preaching procedure. With Chen Lin's cultivation, he is not qualified to preach here.
The wedding room is decorated with flowers and candles, and the beauty is by the side.
"Madam, are you ready?"
Chen Lin lifted Nanmen Lingyue's hijab and asked with a smile.
This is a kind of temptation.
In fact, he has never really believed that Nanmen Lingyue Society is really committed to him. If it is in the lower world, then there is no problem.
But things are different now.
Not to mention whether the other person is really dominated by the Nanmen Lingyue he knows after his reincarnation. Even if it takes more than a thousand years and the two people's identities change, it is impossible to always treat him as before.
Therefore, he is more inclined to think that the other party comes to him for some purpose, rather than sincerely.
"I prepared it a thousand years ago. Could it be that my husband doubts me?"
Nanmen Lingyue smiled shyly, with affection between her brows and eyes.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then you won't be polite as a husband!"
…
In a flash, more than ten days passed.
Nanmen Lingyue left Chen Lin's residence and returned to the Nanmen family
Although she has become a Taoist couple with Chen Lin, she still retains her identity as the saint of the family. The Soul-Breaking Tower is about to open, and she needs to deal with many things.
Chen Lin began to implement his previous plan.
Hire special personnel at a high price to help him go to the underworld and obtain the Soul-forgetting Spring.
Originally Nanmen Lingyue planned to go with him, but he refused, and also rejected the other party's proposal to ask the Nanmen family to send someone to help him.
The characteristics of the underworld are somewhat similar to those of the nightmare world. The higher your cultivation level, the more severely you will be suppressed, and there will be little help.
And he doesn't really trust the Nanmen family.
Nanmen Lingyue may be trustworthy, but the Nanmen family is hard to say.
People who use this family cannot sign a strict contract. It is better to find people with special abilities on their own and use the contract to bind them for peace of mind.
If he really couldn't find it, he would rather go there by himself.
"You have to think carefully, once the contract is signed, there is no room for regrets."
In the reception hall, Chen Lin looked at the visiting Chu Qingli and spoke in a deep voice.
"I have thought about it. Fellow Daoist Chen, please take out the contract!"
Chu Qingli didn't have any extra words and was about to sign the contract directly.
When Chen Lin saw this, he knew that the opponent had hit a wall in the City of Ten Thousand Races. He came to him only after he was sure that he would not be able to complete a hundred rounds of defense.
The other party was very happy and he didn't hesitate and just handed over three contracts.
A soul contract, a special spiritual contract, and a nightmare world contract.
"This matter is of great importance. A contract is not safe. Please don't be offended, Fellow Daoist Chu."
Chen Lin completed the contract, pushed it over and explained.
The corner of Chu Qingli's mouth twitched, and she began to read the contents of the contract. After confirming that it was correct, she put her own stamp on it.
The contract ignites without fire and turns into ashes.
Chen Lin's smile became much more sincere now.
He opened his mouth and said: "The Soul-Breaking Tower will be opened soon. Fellow Daoist Chu, please wait here for me. I have also identified a few candidates for employment and need to contact them."
"Why, Daoyou Chen still wants to hire other people? Are there not enough people in the Nanmen family?"
Chu Qingli glanced at Chen Lin and asked in surprise.
It was only when she saw Chen Lin and Nanmen Lingyue becoming Taoist couples that she made up her mind to accept the employment.
She believes that the Nanmen family will definitely cooperate with Chen Lin's actions, and even the saint will go there in person. In this way, the trip will be much safer.
"I am who I am, and the Nanmen family is the Nanmen family and cannot be confused with each other."
Chen Lin gave Chu Qingli an answer that made her heart sink.
"How many people has Daoyou Chen hired now, and what are their cultivation levels?"
Chu Qingli asked immediately.
Chen Lingan laughed.
He pointed at the other person and then at himself.
"It's just the two of us now."
Chu Qingli's face looked very ugly.
She frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen has been cultivating to this point, probably for a thousand or two thousand years. He shouldn't do something like turning away useful help for the sake of the so-called dignity of a man, right?"
"You don't have to worry about this fellow Daoist Chu."
Chen Lin spoke calmly.
Then he said: "Since I have made such a decision, I naturally have my own considerations, and after entering the underworld, the ordinary virtual realm will not play a decisive role. Using people from the Nanmen family and hiring other strong people,
There is no difference."
"The difference is huge!"
Chu Qingli spoke angrily.
"The Nanmen family is an ancient family and has always been on the Soul-Destroying Continent. No matter whether it knows the Soul-Destroying Tower or the underworld, it is incomparable to others!"
"Furthermore, the Nanmen family has the talent to communicate with the underworld and can communicate with powerful beings in the underworld. With their help, the risk will be reduced by at least half."
Without pausing, she continued to speak.
"Without the help of the Nanmen family, it is unknown whether the trip to the underworld will be in danger or whether we can successfully find the entrance to the seventh floor of the underworld. The entrance to the seventh floor of the underworld is on the seventh floor of the Soul-Desolating Tower, so it requires special
There is a way to open it!”
Chu Qingli was already a little angry.
If she had known that Chen Lin was unwilling to rely on the Nanmen family, she would not have accepted their employment.
Now that the contract has been signed, there is no room for regrets, so I can only try my best to persuade.
Chen Lin was unmoved.
Still saying calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. I already have a solution for the entrance to the underworld. You can just follow me then."
Fu Xiaoge has promised him to help him enter the seventh floor of the Soul-Desolating Tower and then open the entrance to the underworld.
Tianyuan Trading Company also has channels to enter the underworld.
Green Partridge can help.
So even without the help of the Nanmen family, he can still get in.
Seeing Chen Lin's firm attitude, although Chu Qingli felt depressed, she had no choice but to accept it.
He took the next step and said: "If Fellow Daoist Chen is still short of hiring candidates, I can recommend one. Although this person is a casual cultivator, every time the Soul-Severing Tower is opened, he will enter the underworld to explore, and he has a lot of knowledge about the situation in the underworld.
A deeper understanding may be of some help.”
"What kind of cultivation level does this person have?"
"Like me, you are also a semi-virtual consummator. Recently, you are planning to break through the virtual realm. You must be short of resources. If you can pay enough, the other party should be able to agree."
"Okay, then you can call someone over and discuss the price."
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but nodded in agreement.
In fact, he is unwilling to hire two people he knows well. After all, his own cultivation level is not high, so it is easy for problems to arise.
But he was unfamiliar with the place and could not find a suitable person, so he had to relax some conditions.
"Okay, then I'll go find her right now. If I find her, I'll bring her to Fellow Daoist Chen."
Chu Qingli stood up and left in a hurry.
Chen Lin thought for a while and simply took advantage of this time to enter the nightmare world.
"How is the scholar doing?"
After entering the fiefdom, Chen Lin summoned Xiaocao and asked about the scholar's changes.
He had already given the juice of the raw core fruit to the scholar, but the effect of enlightenment could not be immediate and required a process, so he put it in the fief and asked Xiaocao to help take care of it.
Speaking of which, the scholar still gained from killing the ancients and the present.
However, it was a semi-finished product at the beginning. After refining it several times, it has nothing to do with the original product, so he is not afraid of being discovered by Gu Qingxuan.
But for the sake of safety, it was better to put it in the fiefdom. He didn't want to conflict with the other party now.
"Go back to Master, the scholar is still being refined. Depending on the progress, it may take a few more days."
Xiaocao replied.
Chen Lin nodded.
"There is enough time, and there is no need to keep an eye on it. He will wake up on his own after refining."
Xiaocao hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Master, the underworld is said to be very dangerous. Do you really not plan to use people from the Nanmen family?"
"Why, your husband and I have a new Taoist companion, and you're not jealous?"
Chen Lin teased with a smile.
Xiaocao pursed her lips and did not respond directly.
Instead, he said with a solemn expression: "I think that compared to the danger in the underworld, the master's suspicion of the Nanmen family is not important. No matter what their purpose is, it will not prevent you from using the strong men of their family.
Go get the Forgotten Soul Spring water."
"Haha, my little grass has finally grown up and knows how to think about things."
Chen Lin looked pleased and touched Xiaocao's head.
Then he sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to use people from the Nanmen family, but it's the result of my innate ability and I'm not allowed to borrow this power."
"ah!"
Xiaocao exclaimed.
He immediately said: "What did the master figure out?"
"Nothing has been calculated, but when I use the power of the Nanmen family as a condition, the picture of destiny that is generated always gives me a vague sense of danger."
"And if this condition is eliminated, although the line of destiny cannot be manifested, the sense of danger will be gone."
Xiaocao's face turned cold instantly.
"Master, is there something wrong with Nanmen Lingyue? Xiaocao go and kill her!"
Chen Lin's mouth twitched.
"Are you trying to avenge a private vendetta?"
Then he added: "Isn't it a bit unreasonable to casually kill Taoist companions without knowing the specific reason?"
"Anyway, I think there is something wrong with this woman. She is not as sincere to her master as her sister."
Xiaocao said coldly.
"oh?"
Chen Lin looked at the other party in surprise.
"What, did you find anything?"
"No, it's just intuition!"
Xiaocao looked forward and answered coolly.
Chen Lin couldn't laugh or cry.
"Intuition is not good. I need to have definite evidence. After all, he is my Taoist companion, and it is the other party's family that gives me a sense of danger. If I only use the other party himself as the divination condition, there will be no such sense of danger. So the other party may
It has a purpose, but it won’t harm me.”
Hearing this explanation, Xiaocao's face brightened slightly.
After thinking for a while, he said: "In short, I feel that this trip to the underworld is not safe. Otherwise, Master, you should give up first and wait until the next time the Soul-Severing Tower is opened before going. It's only more than a thousand years, and it's not like I can't afford to wait."
"I really can't wait."
Chen Lin had no choice but to explain.
"Ever since I saw that Mingyue Shuanghua, I knew that I must be the opponent, or a chess piece left behind by some powerful being."
"As a chess piece, you must have the consciousness of a chess piece. You must have value on the chessboard, otherwise you will be abandoned and you will die."
Then the voice turned cold.
"You are a swordsman, and I am a fish. Whether you want to keep your identity as a chess piece, or you want to make a comeback, you must quickly improve your cultivation strength."
Xiaocao frowned and had no idea for a moment.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something.
Looking at Chen Lin, he said: "How long has it been since the master tried to summon the blind female sister? How about trying again now?"
Chen Lin shook his head.
Xiaocao has some unusual feelings for the blind girl. It seems that the blind girl was really kind to her back then.
Unfortunately, he had summoned him a few days ago and received no response.
After explaining the situation to Xiaocao, Xiaocao finally fell silent.
There were only so many ideas she could think of. Thinking was not her strong point. If she didn't care so much about Chen Lin's safety, she wouldn't use her brain at all.
"Well, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. With the means of your husband and me, there may not be a chance of survival, and I still have this!"
After saying that, Chen Lin flipped his wrist and took out a seed that shone with colorful light.
