Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth businessman on foot
"Who are you?"
Chen Lin looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him and forced himself to stay calm.
The other person was a tall man with copper coins hanging all over his body. He was looking down at him from above, and he couldn't move, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"I'm a traveling merchant, nice to meet you!"
To Chen Lin's surprise, he originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the other party's answer was clear and coherent. He seemed to be a native of the nightmare world with independent consciousness, just like the little girl Niu Niu.
In this situation, it is better to be able to communicate than not to be able to communicate.
Chen Lin's mind was spinning, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "I'm also glad to meet you. I wonder what you want to see me for?"
After asking, he looked around.
There is no scene, just a dark wilderness.
This shows that there is no problem with the node given to him by Wanmeng Zhenjun. Originally, there was indeed no danger here, but he was just unlucky and happened to catch up with such a creature from the nightmare world passing by.
"I wasn't looking for you, I was the one who saved you. If I hadn't helped you guide the thunder energy to eliminate the inner demons, you would probably be dead now."
The copper coin man's voice sounded, making Chen Lin stunned.
He thought that it was natural for his inner demons to be destroyed by the Tribulation Thunder, but he didn't expect that the other party was helping to guide him?
Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, he could not refute it at this time. Chen Lin showed a grateful attitude and said: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency. I am very grateful."
But the money man shook his head and said: "I am a traveling businessman. I only do transactions. Don't be grateful."
After saying that, he shook the copper coins on his body and said: "You have two choices now. One is to have a fair deal with me and allow me to take away a portion of your newly increased luck. The other is that I will
Your inner demons are restored, but you will also need to charge some loss fees, because I never do business at a loss."
Luck?
Chen Lin's heart trembled.
It can even take away something as ethereal as luck, so it is definitely not an ordinary creature from the nightmare world.
It was impossible to guess whether what the other party said was true or false, but he had no room to refuse.
The energy of the fairy stone tied to his body is almost exhausted. If the inner demon appears again, he will have no time to deal with it and has no other choice but to agree.
Having no choice, Chen Lin didn't think too much and said, "Your Excellency saved my life. Naturally, I want to repay the favor, so I'll choose a fair deal."
He emphasized the word "fair trade" very seriously.
According to past experience, no matter how powerful the creature in the nightmare world is, it has fixed rules and restrictions. If the other party allows him to choose, it should be the same, so you cannot give the other party a chance to take advantage of the words.
"as you wish."
The other party didn't say much. After getting the answer, he took out a huge copper coin from somewhere, waved it at his body, and then disappeared!
Is this the end?
Chen Lin couldn't believe it and thought it was ridiculous.
But the surroundings were empty, and there was indeed no figure of the other party. It seemed that everything just now was an illusion.
He didn't have time to think too much. The light of the Immortal Stone had become extremely weak. Without the energy of the Immortal Stone to isolate the aura of the nightmare world and be corroded by the nightmare energy, he would not be able to use the mana stored in his body.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly activated the Boundary Breaking Talisman, and then struggled to get into the ripples of space.
After three months.
Chen Lin stood in front of the alchemy furnace with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
It took him three months to fully recover, and then he began to conduct various experiments.
One thing was finally determined, that is, after breaking through the Golden Core stage, his natural ability has not been upgraded again, and is still at the level of one out of five.
He suspected that this was related to the luck that was taken away by the traveling businessman.
What the other party said at that time was that he wanted to take away a piece of the luck that had just grown in him.
In other words, after he broke through the golden elixir, his luck increased. It should be due to the improvement of his natural ability, but it was taken away by the opponent.
Of course, if the other party really saved his life, then it would not be a bad idea to use the loss of his natural ability to advance as a reward. After all, if his life is gone, even if his natural ability increases to the point where he can win in one shot, it will be meaningless.
"Luck, is my innate ability really related to luck?"
After being in a daze for a while, Chen Lin sighed and stopped thinking about it.
At this point, it is useless to say anything, but if his natural ability has not been upgraded, then his ability to obtain resources in the future will not be as smooth as before.
Items that can be used by Jindan monks, whether they are elixirs, talismans, or anything else, the raw materials used are very rare. It is very difficult to obtain one or two copies, let alone five copies, so the innate ability
The effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
"That place in the Nightmare Realm is too evil, so I have to stay away from it in the future."
Chen Lin murmured to himself.
Then he shook his head, put away the alchemy furnace and left the practice room.
"Meet my second uncle!"
Seeing Chen Lin come out, Chen Qiaoyun's family, who had been waiting outside, immediately came over to pay their respects, with concern on everyone's face.
Chen Lin calmed down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with my health. You are all here, so I will ask you to do some things."
After reaching the golden elixir realm, he needed to prepare to refine his natal magic weapon. He had already made a choice and planned to refine a natal flying sword.
It has always been his dream to control the sword Qingming. In the past, the conditions were not enough, but now that he has reached the level of cultivation, he naturally has to be satisfied.
In addition to refining the natal flying sword, he also had to refine the Xuanwu Shield. It was too slow to collect the materials alone, so he sent Chen Qiaoyun and his family out to collect supplies in various major fairy cities.
Although his natural ability has not advanced, he can still earn spiritual stones even if he hits five times. Refining the two elixirs, Foundation Building Pill and Seven Star Pill, is enough for him to make a lot of money, and he can scatter a lot of spiritual stones.
, all kinds of resources are quickly withdrawn.
However, what he collected in a big way were materials for refining flying swords, and some auxiliary materials for refining Xuanwu shields. As for sensitive things like souls, he did not dare to buy them in large quantities to avoid being noticed by interested people.
Once Lingbao's affair is exposed, not even the Silver Fairy can save him!
In addition to refining treasures, Chen Lin was also scratching his head about the martial arts. Now that his thunder spirit root has been formed, he originally wanted to switch to thunder-attribute martial arts, but he has not found a suitable one for a long time.
Thunder attribute exercises are already rare, and those at the Golden Core stage are even rarer. Moreover, once this exercise is chosen, it must be practiced until the Nascent Soul stage, so one has to be cautious.
"Fellow Taoist Tantai, what do the Lord City Lord say?"
After months of searching but still unable to find a suitable technique, Chen Lin had no choice but to turn to Tantai Yunjin for help.
He asked the other party to ask for help if he could choose one of the Kung Fu Halls in Tianyun Immortal City at a certain price.
Tantai Yunjin shook his head and said: "You may be disappointed with Fellow Daoist Chen. The Lord of the City does not disagree, but there is no reserve of exercises suitable for you in the exercise hall of this city. The thunder-attribute exercises of the Jindan stage are more suitable for you."
There are several of them, but they all have serious drawbacks. If you practice them, the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to practice other common attributes."
"Oh, forget it then. I'm just giving it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll just choose a wood or fire attribute method."
Chen Lin sighed helplessly.
He had expected this result. Kung Fu has always been a secret kept by major forces. He had experienced this when he was looking for foundation building techniques. In a situation like Danding City where resources were concentrated and integrated, he had no idea.
Being able to find a suitable one, Luo Qinglan finally lends a helping hand.
Tantai Yunjin was also helpless and said regretfully: "There is nothing we can do about it. Cultivation is an act that goes against the will of heaven. How can everything go as planned? However, if fellow Taoist chooses wood-fire attribute exercises, there are many exercises in the Immortal City.
, I can report to the city lord and use my contribution to exchange one for fellow Taoist."
Chen Lin felt warm in his heart.
The other party is indeed a person who repays his kindness and helps him without reservation, but he does not want to trouble the other party anymore.
This kind of ordinary attribute technique can still be obtained with his financial resources, and he is not willing to do so. He wants to look for it again. If it doesn't work, he will go back to Baiyin Fairy City and try again.
Thinking of this, he said: "Anyway, I have just made a breakthrough. It will take some time for my cultivation to be stable. I will look for it elsewhere. If I really can't find it, I'll talk about it."
Tantai Yunjin nodded and said no more.
Since the skill has not been determined, the natal flying sword cannot be refined, so Chen Lin asked Chen Qiaoyun and others to collect auxiliary materials for refining the Xuanwu Shield, as well as the golden elixir stage elixir recipes and alchemy materials and other resources, and then he worked with
Tantai Yunjin said goodbye and left Tianyun Immortal City.
A few months later, Wu Dinghai.
Chen Lin stood on a small island, ingested the demon soul of a large octopus monster, put it into a soul bottle, and then nodded with satisfaction.
The Wuding Sea is indeed a natural treasure house. There are countless monsters in the sea. In the past few months, he has not only collected a large number of monster souls, but also collected a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and the harvest has been extremely rich.
Of course, there were many dangers encountered, but they were all within control. After all, he only acted on the periphery and never went deep.
After collecting the demon soul, Chen Lin disposed of the body of the big octopus and planned to leave.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked towards the sky in the distance, and saw several streams of light shooting towards him, arriving in front of him in an instant.
"With friendly means, even the second-level top-level monsters like the Fire Emblem Octopus can be easily killed. I wonder which fairy city it comes from?"
Chen Lin glanced at the few people. They were all Foundation Establishment monks. The one who spoke was a handsome man who seemed a bit arrogant. His cultivation level was also the highest and he had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
After entering the Wuding Sea, he had always hidden his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building in order to keep a low profile, but this also attracted many monks with evil intentions.
But this group doesn't look like they're here to kill people and steal treasures.
"I'm Lin Feiyu, a casual cultivator in Wanxiang Immortal City. I wonder if you, fellow Taoists, have anything going on?"
