Chen Lin followed the meat ball out of the room and found that it was in a barren mountain, and the meat ball had no idea where it was.
He didn't dare to be careless, so he just picked a direction and continued to run away. The old skeleton man didn't know whether he was killed or not, and he might catch up with him.
But now he has lost all his magic power and can only run on the ground. In addition, he has not eaten, and his body is very weak. After running for a while, he can no longer run.
As a last resort, Chen Lin could only find a hidden place to hide, find some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and make a simple set of clothes from leaves and vines.
Next, he stopped and walked, and successfully walked out of the mountain and came to the side of a main road.
At this moment, he was covered in mud and dirt, and the leaves and clothes on his body had turned into pieces, just like a savage. Fortunately, the density of his body had not changed and he was still very tough. Otherwise, after walking through the mountains for so long, his flesh and blood would have been blurred.
"Dad, there's a monster over there!"
In the distance, a wooden cart pulled by a one-horned creature approached. There was an old man and a young man in the car. The young man saw Chen Lin from a distance and immediately made a sound.
Chen Lin also saw the other party, stopped to watch, and waved for help.
With his current physical strength, ordinary people and ordinary warriors don't need to care. Even low-level monks can't do anything to him. These two people still need a carriage to travel, and they can't be high-level practitioners, so they don't need to be too defensive.

But what he didn't expect was that when the other party saw him, he immediately changed direction and ran away quickly, leaving behind a cloud of smoke.
Chen Lin grinned and looked at his appearance. He didn't blame the other party for being scared. He really looked like a monster.
But he did not leave. Instead, he found some fresh thin vines around him, used his natural ability to weave a set of clothes and shoes, and returned to the roadside.
After a while, several more unicorn cars came from the other direction, pulling loads of goods, looking like a small caravan.
"Who!"
This time, Chen Lin's clothes were relatively decent and the opponent did not escape. However, after all, they were made of vines, which still made people in the convoy wary.
"I am a herb gatherer who lost his way in the mountains. Please help me and let me follow you to a nearby city."
The people here speak the language of the Jing Clan. He has studied it with the Jing Clan people in Tianfeng City before. Although he is not proficient in it, there is no problem in communication.
"Herb collector?"
The leader of the convoy was a burly man. He looked Chen Lin up and down, and nodded when he saw that Chen Lin did not have the aura of a cultivator on his body.
"Okay, but you can only follow behind. I'll give you a unicorn horse. You can ride it!"
Chen Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. I will surely repay you later!"
The burly man waved his hand, said nothing, and directed the convoy to continue on the road.
Ibugan City.
Although it is said to be a city, it is actually a town, but it is very prosperous.
"Mr. Chen, how have you considered my previous proposal? Do you want to join our Sihai Trading Company? As long as you agree, the salary can be improved."
Arriving in front of the town, the leader of the caravan spoke to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin pretended to be hesitant, looking undecided.
Seeing this, the burly man continued to persuade: "Although our Sihai Trading Company is not big, we still have cross-border transportation channels. Since Chen Yaoshi does not have a fixed residence, it is the same wherever he is. If you think the environment here is not good, I can report it to the superiors."
The report asked you to go to the Jade Frog Country’s trading bank headquarters. Didn’t you say you were from the Jade Frog Country?”
Chen Lin was waiting for the other party's words. He was silent for a while, and then reluctantly said: "I have been away from home for more than 20 years, and I really want to go back for a visit. In this case, as Brother Yu said, join your firm.
!”
The other party's surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Lianhai. According to the information he got along the way, nearly half of the people here are surnamed Yu. It can be concluded that the Jing clan and Yu Gongdong's are the same race.
"Haha, Pharmacist Chen is so happy. From now on we will be partners. Let's go to the city and change clothes for Pharmacist Chen and catch the wind!"
The burly man was very happy.
Along the way, Chen Lin showed a lot of knowledge in refining medicine. He must be a pharmacist. If he managed to win over such a person for the company, he would definitely receive generous rewards. How could he not smile?
As for the other party's origins being unknown and likely to be in trouble, that's not something he needs to take care of. The people above him will investigate.
The group of people walked into the town. Chen Lin first changed his clothes, had a good meal and drank, and then was arranged to the inn.
Then, senior figures from Sihai Commercial Bank came over and questioned him, and he still told the story of his identity that he had made up before.
The other party didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he didn't continue to ask. Instead, he tested his ability to make medicine.
Although he has no magic power, the so-called pharmacist can only refine the lowest level medicinal liquid. He only needs to mix the medicinal materials and control the furnace temperature. With the help of his natural ability, he can pass the test easily.
Chen Lin was sitting on the bed in the inn, holding a token in his hand. This was his token at Sihai Trading Company, proving his identity as a pharmacist.
With this, he is no longer a gangster and can walk around here freely.
However, he knew that the trading company could not completely trust him. It just wanted to use him to refine medicine. It didn't matter. What he needed now was a place to settle down and find a way to find Luo Qinglan.
He and Luo Qinglan had made an agreement before. If they couldn't contact him for some reason, they would meet in the capital of the Jade Frog Kingdom. But he didn't expect it to be so miserable this time. Although he didn't die, his cultivation was completely lost. His storage bag and
The package was also lost and the loss was heavy.
Chen Lin put away the token and began to check his body.
At this moment, his body is still crystal clear, but it is not as clean as before and is a little turbid. This should be caused by being re-contaminated with impurities after coming to the outside world. It may eventually return to its previous normal state.
He looks very much like a member of the Jing tribe now, and he is also a noble with obvious characteristics. It is probably because of this that the people at Sihai Trading Company did not particularly suspect him.
However, he has really become a useless person now. Apart from his own physical training strength, he can only use his natural abilities, and the origin is very weak, so the effect is not very great.
As for the innate thunder pattern, although it can be controlled, there is no way to charge it. How to use it requires careful study.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Lin revealed the line of destiny.
The golden main line in the picture is even more hazy, and only a little bit of gold can be seen faintly, and no gaps can be seen at all.
Apart from this, nothing else has changed.
Chen Lin began to think about the old skeleton man again.
I don’t know whether the other party is dead or not, but he has two souls in one body. Even if the main body dies, the other terrifying existence can continue to control it. If he finds it here, he will have to be captured to make elixirs.
But more than half a month has passed since he escaped. If the other party was looking for him, he would have found him long ago. This possibility is not very high.
It’s just that he will never get his things back.
Thinking about those treasures, Chen Lin's heart bleeds. They were all accumulated over hundreds of years, and they were all gone in one fell swoop.
The rest is nothing, after all, the important things have been placed with Luo Qinglan, so he won't have nothing. However, the amulet that Niuniu gave him was also lost, which was unbearable for him.
Although Niu Niu has been unable to respond to the call, it is not a problem with the amulet, but with Niu Niu herself. She can still use this object to contact the other party in the future. Now that the thing is gone, she has to wait for Niu Niu to take the initiative to contact him.
Moreover, without the amulet, the deterrent effect on the creatures of the nightmare world is also gone. I will not be able to go to Gambling Lake again in the future.
well!
Chen Lin sighed and shook his head.
No matter what happened, he couldn't go back to look for her, and he didn't dare to let others look for her. He couldn't hide now, and he couldn't throw himself into a trap.
You may not be able to find it even if you look for it.
After putting the matter aside, he thought of the meat ball again. He disappeared after leaving the underground space. He probably hid.
The opponent is not as good as him, his size is too eye-catching, and he will be treated as a monster whenever he appears.
There are other medicine men, but I'm afraid none of them will survive.
In the following days, Chen Lin was assigned to the headquarters of Sihai Trading Company, where he spent every day besides refining medicine and gathering information.
In this way, half a year passed leisurely.
On this day, Chen Lin sat in the room, his body trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were full of surprise.
It took half a year for his body to finally recover, and he finally reached the first level of Qi training as he wished!
If you can practice, there is hope.
Chen Lin sensed the new weak magic power, and then with a thought, innate thunder patterns appeared in his hands.
With mana, he can activate thunder-attributed artifacts and charge energy into the thunder patterns, giving him an additional means of self-protection.
And the reason why he can practice is also derived from this thing.
I don’t know what method the old skeleton used to purify all the spiritual roots in his body. If this object had not been completely integrated with him and could be used to sense the thunder attribute spiritual energy, he would have become a
Ordinary people who cannot practice cultivation.
But because of this, his spiritual roots are purer. This thunder pattern is an innate thing. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he has an innate thunder body.
In addition to spiritual roots, another important place is the soul.
This aspect is also very miserable.
Not to mention the golden soul, his silver soul power is gone. If he wants to recover, he has to rely on soul refining pills. He has saved some of the circumambulation beasts and soul refining pills and put them with Luo Qinglan. As long as he finds the other party
, can solve this problem.
But without the eight-arm circumference, ordinary soul refining pills can only bring him back to a silver soul at most, but a golden soul is impossible. This loss is not small.
However, the golden soul was successfully advanced because of the reward from King Xuanyin in the bloody handkerchief scene. It is hard to say whether it has any traces left by the other party. The loss of it can be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger.
The same goes for the golden body. It is suspected that there is a hand tail from the Zhenmo Temple. If it is gone this time, it will be gone.
Chen Lin secretly gave himself a pill to make him feel less distressed.
As for the second soul, he doesn't care at all.
"The worst case scenario is that we have to start all over again. This little setback won't be able to defeat Mr. Chen!"
Chen Lin took the innate thunder pattern back into his body and continued to practice.
"Deacon Jade, how is my trip to the headquarters? Is there any reply from above?"
A few days later, Chen Lin found the deacon of the trading company and asked about the situation.
Even though more than half a year has passed, he is still a little worried about staying here. It would be best to go to the Jade Frog Country as soon as possible.
But he had to use a space channel, and he didn't have the ability to travel through the wild.
The deacon of the trading company here is an old man from the Jing clan, named Yu Tianming, and his strength seems to be quite high. biqμgètν
Even though this is just a small town, because it borders a large mountain range and is rich in various medicinal materials, many business firms have branches here.
When the old deacon heard Chen Lin's inquiry, he shook his head and said: "There have been no important gains recently, so we cannot activate the space channel of our firm. Pharmacist Chen can wait a little longer!"
This was perfunctory at first sight. Chen Lin knew that the other party did not want him to leave. Such an obedient coolie pharmacist could create a lot of value for them, and ordinary pharmacists would not receive much reward if they were sent to the headquarters.
He also had a countermeasure for this. He took out a small bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table.
"This is?"
The old butler looked at Chen Lin in surprise, then picked up the bottle and opened it.
"Crystal Liquid!"
The old man only glanced at it and exclaimed.
Then he looked at Chen Lin with a strange look on his face and said: "Physician Chen can actually refine the crystallizing liquid. It's really unworthy of his talent to stay here. I immediately applied to the superiors to use the space channel and personally accompanied Pharmacist Chen to the headquarters."
Chen Lin nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Deacon."
The crystal-melting liquid can make the bodies of Jing clan people purer. It is of great significance to Jing clan cultivators. It is no less than the monk's marrow cleansing pill, and it can be used continuously. If he shows his hand, this small place will definitely not be able to keep him.
The other party didn't dare to hide it, so they could only send him to the headquarters.
This time the speed was very fast. The next day, Yu Tianming came with good news. The preparations for opening the space channel were ready and the journey could begin.
Chen Lin set off immediately.
"Yulianhai, what are you doing here?"
Yu Tianming took Chen Lin to a room in the center of the residence, only to find someone standing at the door, walking back and forth, looking very anxious.
This person was the burly man who brought Chen Lin back. Besides him, there was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen who looked nervous.
"Master Butler, what happened to the villain is unjust. The villain definitely did not swallow the goods. It was indeed lost inexplicably!"
"baffling?"
The old man sneered and said: "Everyone with you is dead, and there is no evidence of death. And even if it is really lost, you, as the team leader, cannot absolve yourself of the blame. Let's wait and deal with it!"
Yu Lianhai's face was filled with fear.
The other party is insisting that he swallowed the goods, so that he can get rid of the other party's own responsibility. In this way, he may be in danger of his life.
It would be nothing if he died alone, but he still had his family. Yu Tianming was so ruthless that he would not even spare his family.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said to Chen Lin: "I heard that Pharmacist Chen is going to the headquarters this time. My daughter is well-behaved and smart. I beg Pharmacist Chen to take her with me as a medicine boy. If I am punished, no one will take care of me.
She got it."
Chen Lin naturally knew what the other party was thinking. To be honest, he didn't want to get into trouble now, but after taking a look at the little girl, he still nodded.
Then he said to the old deacon: "Deacon, Yu Lianhai is kind to me. I can't refuse this request, but it still depends on your wishes."
He can help the other party, but he cannot involve himself.
Yu Tianming frowned, but finally nodded and said: "In that case, then consider it the little girl's good fortune!"
