The puppet carries the immortal stone on its body and is not contaminated with nightmare energy.
But for the sake of safety, Chen Lin still asked the puppet to use the earth escape talisman to escape underground and hide it, and then retrieve it after it was sure that there was no danger.
The two returned to their residence again.
After some exchanges, Chen Lin agreed to use Seven Star Pill to trade with the other party, but only for two lines.
In addition to the contents of the box, he also asked He Shouchu to draw a map of the location of the underground space and attached some other treasures.
In fact, he has no use for the things that the monks in the foundation-building stage can bring out, but they still have to, so that the value of the Seven Star Pill can be reflected, and if someone comes to trade it, it will be easy to ask for a price.
However, he did not suffer a loss in this transaction. In addition to a strange-shaped black object, there were more than ten nightmare coins in the box!
He read it right, it was definitely a nightmare coin.
For those who are keen to explore the nightmare world, the value of one nightmare coin can be equal to that of a double-marked seven-star pill, let alone more than a dozen, so he immediately asked the puppet to cover the box to prevent the other party from regretting it.
Of course, at this point, even if the other party wants to regret it, it can't be done.
really.
In the next few days, waves of monks came over, all wanting to trade Seven Star Pills.
Chen Lin did not turn these people away.
In order not to be disturbed in the future, he simply held a small trade fair, took out some foundation-building pills, two double-marked seven-star pills, and other treasures, and traded them in the form of an auction.
It was quite fruitful.
In the following time, he began to study the nightmare items in the box.
In a simple cave in a corner of the secret realm, Chen Lin looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said expressionlessly: "You must think carefully. Once you agree to my request, you will have no room for regrets, otherwise I will not show mercy."
of."
The middle-aged man did not hesitate at all and said respectfully: "Senior, don't worry, I have made up my mind and will never go back on it!"
"Okay, let's get started!"
Chen Lin took out a pill bottle and threw it to the other party.
The middle-aged man took it excitedly, bowed to Chen Linshen, then opened the elixir bottle, poured out one of the elixirs inside and swallowed it.
Then he started practicing in front of Chen Lin.
Chen Lin quietly observed the other party.
This is the explorer he is looking for, named Zhao Qingquan.
The opponent originally had good qualifications, but after entering the secret realm, he was injured in a fight and took more than ten years to recover. As a result, he missed the best period of foundation building, causing his cultivation to be stuck in the process of perfecting Qi.
Nowadays, resources are scarce in the secret realm, and the opponent has no background and cannot provide treasures in exchange for foundation-building pills. Foundation-building has become a luxury.
So after he approached the other party and claimed that as long as the other party helped him explore the nightmare world, he could help the other party build a foundation in advance, the other party decisively agreed.
After using three Foundation Building Pills in a row, the aura on Zhao Qingquan's body changed, rising steadily.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, stood up with some excitement and said: "This junior is stupid in nature and has consumed a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills. I ask for your forgiveness, senior."
He has always been very conceited and felt that he was unappreciated for his talent. Only one Foundation Building Pill was enough. Unexpectedly, he used three pills. If he hadn't made a deal with this senior Chen, he would never have been able to build the Foundation.
When Chen Lin heard this, he said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you sincerely work for me, I won't treat you badly."
Zhao Qingquan immediately said seriously: "Senior Chen has shown great kindness to me. I, Zhao Qingquan, am by no means an ungrateful person. I will definitely do my best for the work of my senior!"
Chen Lin nodded, "Okay, then you should stabilize your cultivation first. There is a secret technique of divine consciousness here. You should practice it well and let me know when you are ready."
A few days later.
Zhao Qingquan stood in front of a table with an anxious expression, and on the table were boxes containing items from the nightmare realm.
Although he had been mentally prepared, it was still difficult to remain calm in the face of unknown dangers.
Glancing at Chen Lin who was standing a few feet away, he gritted his teeth, took off the talisman on the box, and then opened the lid.
A strange aura emanated, instantly making Zhao Qingquan drowsy.
But he still followed Chen Lin's previous instructions and quickly covered the box and re-covered the talisman.
As soon as he finished, he couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Chen Lin slowly retreated, leaving only a crow puppet in the room.
When he arrived in another room, he began to observe Zhao Qingquan's movements through the puppet's vision. At the same time, he remembered the last time he hired someone to explore the Thunder God tribe.
Countless people died that time, and a lot of foundation-building pills were wasted before success. I hope it won't be so tragic this time.
Moreover, there are not that many monks in this secret realm for him to use. People who are not in desperate situations will not accept such a dangerous exploration mission from him.
Time passed little by little.
Chen Lin was not in a hurry. He gave Zhao Qingquan a fairy stone. If the other party used it, he might stay in it longer.
But as time went on, his heart grew stronger.
This Nightmare Realm item belongs to He Changhong, and the recipe for the Soul Refining Pill is included in the opponent's Qi Luck Alchemy Manual. Maybe there is an Eight-Armed Detour or a substitute in the connected scene, which is very difficult for him.
important.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to explore.
suddenly.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
In the Crow Puppet's field of vision, Zhao Qingquan's body moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
Chen Lin did not go over immediately, but became vigilant and stared at the other party without blinking to prevent any changes.
It wasn't until the other party stood up, checked his body, and made a no problem gesture to the crow puppet's eyes that he relaxed slightly.
He has signed a soul contract with the other party in advance, and the other party will not deceive him.
Even so, after entering the room, Chen Lin used his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine the other party's body before he was completely relieved.
Then his eyes lit up with joy.
Unexpectedly, it was successful in just one try!
This shows that the danger inside is not high. It would be even more perfect if there was information about the eight-arm circumambulation series of treasures.
"How's it going? What's going on inside?"
Chen Lin waited for the other party to recover and immediately asked.
Zhao Qingquan said with doubts: "Returning to the seniors, it seems to be a small secret realm inside, with mountains, trees and a large lake. The scenery is very beautiful."
Chen Lin looked shocked.
The scenes in the nightmare world he came into contact with were all lifeless, but this place actually has mountains and water?
Zhao Qingquan continued: "After I entered, I appeared in the small woods on the shore of the lake, but I couldn't get out of the woods no matter what, as if there was something invisible blocking it, so it took a lot of time.
A little longer."
Finally, he saluted and said: "This junior is useless. I didn't get the information that the senior wanted. The energy in that stone has been used up. Please punish me, senior!"
Chen Lin shook his head and said: "No, you have done a good job. Let's finish our transaction here first. If I find you useful in the future, I will come back to you, but you must remember not to tell us what happened between us."
Spread the word, otherwise the blood contract will be violated. Don’t blame me for not reminding you!"
Zhao Qingquan looked stern and responded hurriedly: "Senior, don't worry, this junior will definitely keep his mouth shut."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
When he returned to his residence, he was relieved when he saw that Chen Lin really didn't catch up with him and kill him.
Then I started to feel the majestic mana in my body during the foundation building period, and I was very excited.
Then, he remembered the scene in that nightmare world again, and his mind was racing with thoughts, wondering what the mystery was in that place, and what did Senior Chen want to get?
He immediately shook his head and suppressed his curiosity in his heart. If he wanted to live a long life, it would be better not to know too much.
In the next two days, Chen Lin found two more monks, gave them certain benefits, and then let them enter the nightmare world for experiments.
Finally, it was determined that there was no danger inside, and the situations experienced by several people were consistent.
As for being unable to leave the woods, that is probably because there is no road guide and the movement range is limited.
So he was ready to explore it himself.
Putting the immortal stone on his body, Chen Lin wrapped his palms with magic power, opened the box, and revealed the items inside.
He took out a jade box and first picked out all the nightmare coins inside. There were fifteen coins in total. He didn't know how the elder He of the Black Demon Sect obtained them. He seemed to be a senior explorer of the nightmare world.
By.
If this is the case, then the other party must have the Immortal Stone and Road Guide on him, and they should be placed in a storage bag, or hidden in some hidden location.
After he decided to leave the secret realm, if he had the chance, he would go to the underground space that He Shouchu mentioned.
After looking around, Chen Lin sealed the box again and left the simple cave.
A few more days passed.
Qin Lingyu and Sun Caiyi both consolidated their realms and left the border one after another.
Chen Lin sealed himself in the room, arranged several layers of defensive formations, and asked the two women to guard him. They must not enter the room without his call.
Nightmare world.
As soon as the scene changed, Chen Lin appeared in a small forest.
Through the gap between the trees, you can see the sparkling lake not far away on one side. The breeze blows, bringing with it a touch of water vapor, which is extremely refreshing.
If it weren't for the familiar aura of the Nightmare Realm, Chen Lin would even doubt whether this place was actually the Nightmare Realm.
He let go of his spiritual sense and found nothing unusual, then he walked towards the lake.
The woods were not big, and they soon reached the edge. There seemed to be an invisible barrier, but he passed through it easily.
Sure enough, as he thought, the boundaries of the forest scene could be crossed if there were roads to guide them.
After leaving the woods, our eyes suddenly opened up, and we had a panoramic view of the entire lake, as well as the rolling mountains in the distance.
Chen Lin secretly marveled.
This place is really huge!
Moreover, there are mountains and rivers, and there must be a lot of treasures. I wonder if the route to him can support exploring all the places.
However, he only came here to understand the situation this time and did not intend to explore on a large scale. Such a large scene cannot be without dangers. If he really wanted to explore, he would have to consider the long term.
Chen Lin didn't even dare to get too close to the edge of the lake, for fear that some water monster would suddenly emerge from inside.
After watching it for a while, he planned to leave the lake and look at the other side of the woods.
But before he could move, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Do you also like fishing? How was your harvest today?"
