For the next six months, Chen Lin spent time in seclusion in the cave.
Qian Ziduo and Shi Yuelan were both sent away by him.
He didn't practice either. Apart from observing Zhao Qingyu every day, he sorted out Zhe Min's broken memories.
Although it was just a spiritual thought, it came from the so-called higher plane after all. As long as he sorted out a little bit of the information in his memory, it would be very beneficial to him.
"Senior, is my brother's death related to that thing?"
On this day, Chen Lin observed Zhao Qingyu again. Zhao Qingyu couldn't hold back and asked the questions in his heart.
In the past six months, she has been in sadness and anxiety all the time, and she almost suffered a mental breakdown.
"Yes."
Chen Lin didn't hide it either.
"There is something evil hidden in it. Your brother was contaminated and mutated."
He said briefly.
As for the origin of the rag, there is no need to mention it.
"Will I have a problem?"
Zhao Qingyu asked again.
Chen Lin shook his head, "We're not sure yet. There's a high probability that it's nothing. You should pay more attention to it yourself."
After saying that, he stood up.
"Well, people can't be resurrected after death, and your brother won't want you to be in ruins. You can leave and live well. Maybe one day you will become a super strong person and have the opportunity to resurrect your brother."
Zhao Qingyu looked at Chen Lin.
He said softly: "Can I stay with senior?"
Chen Lin shook his head again.
"Then I understand."
Zhao Qingyu's eyes dimmed and he bowed to say goodbye.
Chen Lin looked at the other person's disappearing back, sighed, then calmed down his emotions and stopped thinking about it.
He was short of manpower, but the other party had come into contact with rags, and he didn't dare to use them at all.
Although the other party has passed his inspection, and even if Zhe Min still has his spiritual thoughts, he can't do anything to him.
But he didn't need to take such a risk.
To be honest, it would be considered a kindness on his part not to eliminate it directly to avoid future troubles.
When the other party left, Chen Lin recalled Shi Yuelan and Qian Ziduo and called them to his side.
"I heard you plan to open a store here?"
He looked at Qian Ziduo.
Qian Ziduo hurriedly said respectfully: "Senior, I have such an idea, but my junior's cultivation is low and I have no connections, so I don't dare to operate it."
Having said this, he looked at Chen Lin carefully.
Then he fell to his knees directly.
"The villain wants to join the master and do his best for the master!"
Chen Lin stroked his chin gently.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Then you have to think carefully. To be my subordinate, you must sign a strict contract. There will be no room for regrets in your life!"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Yuelan next to her couldn't help but be startled.
She didn't sign a contract, and she thought her master was different from other powerful people and didn't control people with contracts.
It turned out that he was just treating her specially.
This made her already silent thoughts come alive again, and she suspected that there was some ulterior relationship between her mother and her master.
"My subordinate is willing!"
If you have more money, you will kowtow directly.
Now that he has made a decision, he has thought about this happening and has been mentally prepared for it.
Chen Lin nodded.
He has recently refined a lot of elixirs, and has also dabbled in talismans and other treasures.
Shi Yuelan doesn't know how to do transactions at all, and really needs someone to help him sell.
Moreover, he has already planned to accept Yue Lan as his official disciple and take him back to the Kaiyuan Realm. He needs a subordinate here to help him collect information.
It would be even better if you can make some money along the way.
With Qian Ziduo's consent, Chen Lin took out two contracts and asked them to sign them.
A blood contract and a soul contract.
Double insurance.
Qian Ziduo did not hesitate and completed the contract happily.
"Very good, from now on we are a family. If you need any help, just ask. If you can't find me, just ask Yue Lan."
Chen Lin looked at Shi Yuelan.
"Are you willing to be my official disciple?"
"ah!"
Shi Yuelan was stunned.
He reacted immediately and fell to the ground immediately.
"Disciple is willing to meet the master!"
"Get up."
Chen Lin raised his hand.
"As a teacher, I don't like red tape. I don't like rituals. That's fine. But as you become a formal disciple, my requirements for you will be higher than before. If you fail to meet my requirements, you will inevitably be punished.
of."
"Yes, disciple, keep this in mind."
Shi Yuelan grinned and hurriedly agreed.
Chen Lin flicked his finger, and a ray of light flew out and penetrated into Shi Yuelan's eyebrows.
"There is a technique here that is suitable for you to use. Please study it carefully."
This is an innate skill that he acquired from the Shen family through Shen Anning. It is suitable for people like them who came from the otherworld to practice. It is of a very high level and he himself uses it.
"Thank you, Master!"
Shi Yuelan looked happy.
This kind of skill is very rare, let alone high-level ones. She has been looking for it but can't find it.
Then, Chen Lin took out two large storage bags.
There are eternal stones inside.
"You two take it and go to Fangshi to rent a shop. If you can't find it, go to Yang Tianping and ask him to help find a way."
The two took the storage bag and left as ordered.
They all seemed very happy.
Especially since he has a lot of money, what he is best at is running a business and he likes to do it. He is not really interested in spiritual practice, as long as he maintains his longevity.
With a shop, he can establish a foothold here without having to worry about being kicked out of the secret realm.
Things are going pretty well at the store.
And it wasn't rented, it was bought directly.
It was Xu Dingshan who helped pull the string.
It's not very big, but it's worth a lot of money. Fortunately, Chen Lin has refined a lot of high-end elixirs recently, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford it.
In fact, Chen Lin didn't want to buy it.
There is no need to waste resources on this, and he doesn't want to build any power.
But Xu Dingshan said that with a fixed store, as long as he paid the fees on time, he could have several long-term stays in the secret realm and would not be forcibly assigned other tasks, so he bought it.
"Sir, what is the name of the shop?"
A new store opened and needed a new name, so Qian Ziduo asked Chen Lin for instructions.
"Call it Qingyang Bao Pavilion!"
Chen Lin said casually.
Qian Ziduo didn't understand the meaning of the name, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He immediately took out a blank plaque and asked Chen Lin to inscribe it.
The store opened successfully.
In order to gain some fame, Chen Lin worked day and night to refine a lot of elixirs and treasures, plus some unnecessary items on his body, which made him look decent.
But that's all.
After doing this, he no longer cares about the store's affairs. Except for refining some elixirs and talismans for the store on a regular basis, he leaves everything to Qian Ziduo.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the practice of Flame Palm.
In order to conceal his identity, some treasures and magical powers cannot be used. His strength is greatly limited and requires powerful means to supplement it.
The firefly magical power is actually very powerful.
But this magical power can only exert its power in a dark environment.
Even in the void at night, it is very bright under the influence of the eternal stars.
This leads to unsatisfactory magical power.
If he could find a way to absorb the moonlight, he might be able to increase the power of his supernatural powers, but there were very few techniques for cultivating the power of the moonlight, and he had never been able to find one.
In this way, Flame Palm becomes even more important.
Three years passed leisurely.
The past three years have been relatively peaceful.
The aftermath of the void storm outside has not passed yet, but nothing has changed in the secret realm.
Qingyang Baoge is doing well.
Qian Ziduo really didn't brag. He was indeed a business genius. He had gradually gotten rid of his dependence on Chen Lin and put the store on the right track.
He even received some star stones for Chen Lin.
This made Chen Lin very satisfied.
It gave the other party greater authority and almost completely let go of the store.
"Sir, I received this today!"
On this day, Qian Ziduo came in a hurry and dedicated an item to Chen Lin.
