After hearing Chen Lin's words, Zhang Zhenqian shook his head.
"Chen Daoyou doesn't know the inside story. In fact, I am a casual cultivator. I was seriously injured in a fight with others, so I came to Bamian City to cultivate. Because I have some appraisal skills, I was invited to become a worshiper of a trading company. Later, the trading company was short of Only people will let me guard one side."
He drank the spirit wine in his hand and took a breath.
"The trading bank has always wanted me to sign a soul contract, but I have rejected them all with various excuses. It is precisely because of this that the trading bank has never been able to truly trust me. Now that there is someone who can replace me, they can't wait to transfer my position. Take it."
Having said this, he sneered, "The elder wanted me to continue to escort other Huang family members and use me as a bodyguard. I was fed up with this nonsense, so I gave up the reward I deserved this time. In exchange for freedom."
After hearing this, Chen Lin sympathized with the other party. Judging from the other party's appearance, he knew that he was a forthright man. He could endure humiliation for so long. He probably wanted to use the resources of Bamen Trading Company to get the opportunity to be promoted to Lianxu. After all, high-level resources They are all controlled by big forces, and it is very difficult for casual cultivators to obtain them.
But why would the Huang family give such high-quality resources to outsiders? If the other party is promoted to Lianxu, what will be done then?
An uncontrollable weak-tempered person is not only not a good thing for the trading company, but also a curse.
The other party still thinks of human nature too simply.
In Chen Lin's view, Patriarch Qingyun was kind enough to let the other party leave. It must be said that the atmosphere in the training community here is good. In addition, Patriarch Qingyun runs a business and pays attention to harmony to make money, otherwise he will directly destroy the other party. It's possible.
He picked up the jug, filled the two glasses, raised it and said: "It doesn't matter, it's good to be a casual cultivator. You see, I am a casual cultivator. Isn't it different from cultivating? I am unrestrained and can go wherever I want."
Zhang Zhenqian sighed.
"If I had the alchemy skills of Fellow Daoist Chen, would I still need to look at other people's faces? It's so difficult for casual cultivators!"
After speaking, he shook his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, if you are proficient in any of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, you can make a living. Fellow Daoist Zhang's identification technique is also a good ability, so why be so modest."
Chen Lin comforted him, and then said: "Young Daoist Zhang left Bamen Trading Company, where are you going to go? Should you start your own sect, or start a family and spread its branches?"
The monks in the late stage of becoming gods are already strong enough to become a small overlord.
Zhang Zhenqian waved his hand, "I don't have the same hobbies as Daoyou Chen. I don't like to be dragged down by women, and I don't want to form any power. It's good to just travel around and be an idler in the mountains."
"Then I wish fellow Taoist all the best and be promoted to the Void Refining Realm as soon as possible!"
Chen Lin raised his wine glass and clinked it with the other party.
Zhang Zhenqian drank the wine and suddenly said through a message: "Didn't Fellow Daoist Chen always want to collect treasures related to the soul? I know a place and I plan to go and explore it after the True Spirit Conference. Are you interested?"
Seeing that Chen Lin did not respond immediately, he added: "That place is very strange. There are many spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses related to the soul growing there, and there are even soul-crossing grasses. But there are many strange creatures there, and I am alone. I don’t dare to go deep, so I want to invite some strong people to explore together.”
Chen Lin's expression couldn't help but move when he heard the words "Duhuncao".
Among the jade slips of elixirs given to him by Murong Feng, there was a prescription called 'Yin Yang Soul Crossing Pill', and the main medicine used in it was this soul crossing grass.
This elixir has the effect of condensing the soul. According to the records on the elixir, the effect is very strong.
But this elixir is an ancient recipe and has not been improved. He has also searched in various major fairy cities, but has never found the existence of such a magical medicine as Soul Crossing Grass. Unexpectedly, he encountered it here.
"Wherever that place is, what dangers there are, could Fellow Daoist Zhang tell me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin sent a message to ask.
If it were something else, he would definitely refuse it directly, but there were too few high-level elixirs that could enhance the soul.
The soul refining pill is easy to use, but under the current situation, it is impossible to get the circumambulation beast, and with his current soul level, the soul refining pill must be at level 5, or even level 6 or above to be useful, which is too low.
It won't be effective.
You can give Yin Yang Soul Crossing Pill a try.
Of course, he is not too eager. If the place is too dangerous, he will not go.
Because the Yin Yang Soul Crossing Pill requires a total of three main medicines, and the Soul Crossing Grass is only one of them. The other two have no clue, and he has never seen even some auxiliary medicines.
The ancient elixir recipe was so difficult to refine, otherwise no one would take it seriously, and Murong Feng would not have given him such a rare elixir recipe casually.
"It is a naturally formed cave. It is on the east side of the continent. The wind inside is very strong and there are many ghosts. The deeper you go down, the stronger it becomes. There are many layers in the cave..."
Zhang Zhenqian slowly described it, while Chen Lin's face became strange.
This environment is very similar to the Ten Thousand Souls Ridge when he was in the lower realm. Could it be that it is also the entrance to the underworld?
"When do you plan to set off and who do you have an appointment with?"
Chen Lin asked.
Now that his strength has increased, he also has some desire to explore the underworld. If there is a place with the most soul-related materials, it must be the underworld.
Seeing Chen Lin's move, Zhang Zhenqian immediately said: "After the True Spirit Conference, I contacted fellow Taoists. There are currently two people who are going with me. One is Yue Tianyi, the leader of the Tianyi Sect in the Wanling Mountains, and the elder of the Xin family.
Xin Yueling, it depends on whether we can invite two more powerful people, that place is very dangerous, the more people there, the safer it will be."
Chen Lin nodded.
Although he has never met these two people, he knows something about them.
The Tianyi Sect is not too far away from his Tianbao Peak. The sect leader Yue Tianyi is a monk in the late stage of becoming a god and is somewhat famous.
As for Xin Yueling, she must be a member of the Xin family, one of the strongest families in this world.
The Xin family is a bloodline family, with the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast Wind God Bird. It is the best in wind magic. There are strong men coming out in every generation. It is a well-deserved super family.
"Okay, then I will wait for news from fellow Taoist Zhang. However, the number of people should not be too large. If there are too many, conflicts will arise. Moreover, regulations must be drawn up and a spiritual contract must be signed before departure to avoid anyone with evil intentions."
Chen Lin weighed it up and agreed to the other party's invitation.
Zhang Zhenqian showed joy, "With Fellow Daoist Chen joining me, I am more confident in this exploration. I hope we can all find the soul-refining object and increase the chance of being promoted to the Void Refining!"
After chatting for a while, Zhang Zhenqian left first to invite others.
Chen Lin sat in the tavern, ordered a pot of fine wine, and continued to taste it.
The smell of the spirit wine here reminded him of the Fairy Tavern, and then of Qiu Mufan, the proprietress of the tavern, and Nan Mochu from the ancient country of Sanyu.
I don’t know what happened to these two women.
The tavern proprietress's arowana cup is still on him. The other party obviously wants to do something, but he has not guessed the purpose yet. The same goes for Nan Mochu, whose behavior is difficult to predict.
But these two women are both old monsters who have lived for more than ten thousand years. They must know many secrets of this world. If we can meet them again, we may be able to unlock some truths.
It's a pity that Tianxuanjie not only failed to fuse successfully, but also shattered even more seriously. Even the communication bead Nan Mochu gave him couldn't be used. If he wanted to see the two of them, he didn't know if he would have a chance.
When he was slightly tipsy, Chen Lin thought about Luo Qinglan and Yang Zishi, Princess Qinghua and Luo Xiaoyu, Jin Xingyun, Baihua Fairy, Wanmeng Zhenjun, etc. He didn't know that these people were surviving in the great changes. How far did it come down and where did it go?
…
Early the next morning, Chen Lin arrived at the main venue of the True Spirit Conference.
With his identity and relationship with Bahian Trading Company, he naturally received a VIP invitation and was invited to a separate box upstairs.
The main venue is only for monks above Nascent Soul, but because this trading conference is different from the past, even with such restrictions, the number of people is extremely large.
This also made Chen Lin feel the prosperity of this world.
Although there are no strong ones in the Hedao realm, there are quite a few monks below Lianxu.
Moreover, this True Spirit Conference can only radiate to three continents at best. The entire interface has a total of seven continents. Four of them are so far away that even the teleportation array cannot reach them directly, so there is very little communication.
Senior monks are very self-disciplined and no one makes any noise.
The Yuanying monks in the hall simply closed their eyes and rested their minds, waiting quietly. There was also silence in the box.
It wasn't until everyone arrived and a woman appeared on the auction stage that everyone became energetic.
"The little girl Huang Yue'e was appointed by her family to be in charge of this auction. If there is any inconvenience, please forgive me."
The woman has a plump figure, a delicate face, and a charming charm.
Chen Lin couldn't help but guess whether the female cultivators of the Huang family had practiced any special skills. The charming expression on the other side was exactly the same as that of Huang Ying.
However, this woman's cultivation level is higher and she has reached the late stage of becoming a god, so her charm is even stronger.
"Haha, Miss Ninth is presiding. It's too late for everyone to be happy. How could anyone think it's neglectful to let Miss Ninth take action personally? It seems that in addition to those ancient Buddhist items, the remains of true spirits have really appeared this time!"
A cheerful voice came from the box in the middle of the second floor.
Huang Yue'e immediately bowed slightly and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the ancient senior. The presence of the senior has really made our firm shine. The little lady will not be verbose. There are a lot of things in this auction, so everyone needs to be patient.
The good stuff is all at the back!"
After saying that, the other party stretched out his hand to signal, and the square box was brought up.
After opening it, there was a lotus-shaped object inside, emitting strange energy fluctuations.
Before the other party could introduce him, Chen Lin's eyes shrank.
This thing is surprisingly the lotus Buddha he saw in the Demon Temple in Guyuan Town!
