It took Chen Lin a full month to refine the spirit of Thunder Apricot into his body.
This is just the first step. Next, you need to use the Golden Fire Thunder Technique to devour, fuse, and turn the spiritual objects into your own use bit by bit.
This is a work in progress and there is no need to rush it.
All you need to do is fuse it before breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, and then you can use the pseudo-spiritual roots tempered by the tribulation.
Time passed little by little.
The expected big change did not happen, and Chen Lin became more and more relaxed.
The alliance's resources have been depleted to a certain extent. There are not even enough talismans left to refine the demon-suppressing talisman. It takes him half a day to go to work every other day.
He even had some worries that if he continued like this, he would be kicked back to the demon hunting team again.
But what he was worried about didn't happen. Instead, he got good news.
The alliance finally decided to retreat, breaking out to the far sea of the Wuding Sea and heading to the main continent.
The order was personally issued by the deacon elders Hai Mingyue and Li Xuanming, and the monks in Danding City would be divided into several teams to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.
However, the specific plan to break out of the encirclement is kept secret. Which team will go from which direction has already been planned. Monks like Chen Lin who are in the early stage of foundation building only need to obey the deployment.
As soon as the news came out, people in the city were in shock. Every monk tried his best to cling to a relationship and try to keep up with a powerful team.
Although the alliance has long stipulated that once retreating, protection levels will be assigned based on merit levels, but worldliness is indispensable at all times. Merit levels are only conditions on the surface, and there are many conditions behind the scenes.
For example, his nominal disciple He Yuqing was called back as soon as the news of the retreat came out. He will obviously follow the He family's team, but his master does not have this treatment.
"Master, why don't you lend some connections and follow our team from the Neptune Sect? I just got the news that our Neptune Sect has a temporary station on an island in the far sea, and has already built a large ship to cross the sea there. Other forces'
The ships are not as big as those of our Neptune Sect."
Chen Lin had always been kind to He Yuqing, so this girl reciprocated her kindness and provided Chen Lin with a piece of information before leaving.
But she could only provide information. A branch of the He family who was on the fourth level of Qi training did not have the qualifications to bring outsiders into the Neptune Sect's team.
"Okay, I understand. You should be smarter yourself and don't be reckless. I won't be able to use these things anymore. Just hold them for self-defense!"
Chen Lin took out a storage bag and handed it to the other party. There were some elixirs and talismans in it, as well as a high-grade flying sword and the snake shame he used before. These things had long been useless to him and he never thought of dealing with them. It happened to be
Defend this nominal apprentice.
"Thank you Master, take care of yourself!"
He Yuqing was not pretentious. After taking the storage bag, he kowtowed to Chen Lin three times and then left the Munitions Department.
old man...
Chen Lin couldn't help but feel a little startled when he heard this.
Yes, if you do the math, it has been seventeen or eighteen years since the time traveled. The original owner was in his forties, and he is now an old man in his sixties.
In my previous life, I would have retired at this age and enjoyed my old age, planting flowers and raising birds, teasing my grandchildren, and enjoying family happiness.
But now, he still has to run for his life and make every attempt to survive.
Immortal cultivators may seem happy, but in fact they may not be as happy as ordinary people!
After sighing for a while, Chen Lin calmed down.
Now that he has embarked on this road, there is no reason to retreat. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he has to break out of a fairy road and overcome the thorns. Isn't it a joy!
He Yuqing's words reminded Chen Lin that his current merit level is not low, but it is not a good idea to wait for the alliance to arrange it.
On the surface, the alliance will deploy a unified retreat plan, but in fact, the alliance is just a loose organization. Each major force must have its own little ninety-nine, who will put their core personnel on a safe route, while those who are not important will become
Cannon fodder that attracts enemy fire.
He has no roots and no status. He will definitely not be able to join the core team based on merit alone.
After thinking about it in his mind, Chen Lin decided to try Zhao Qiankun.
Although he is not very familiar with this person, he is a generous and generous person, and he is an elder of the Neptune Sect. It may be possible to rely on his relationship.
But what disappointed Chen Lin was that Zhao Qiankun was not at the station. It was said that he had gone on a mission and had not returned yet.
Not only was the other party not here, even the people from Yunhai were not here, and they were said to have gone on a mission.
Chen Lin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Immediately afterwards, he went to visit some important people. These people were the core personnel of various major sects. He actually didn't know them, but just wanted to confirm some guesses.
The information he received made his face even uglier.
None of these people were here, they all said they were on missions.
There is no such coincidence in this world. On the eve of the evacuation, all the important people with high status formed a group to go out to do the mission. It was too fake!
Chen Lin suspected that these people might have taken a step ahead and left through special channels in advance. If this was the case, all the people they left in Danding City would be cannon fodder to attract the attention of the Qishen Sect!
This guess made him feel on pins and needles, and he felt that he had to do something. After thinking about it, he walked towards Qian Li's residence.
The speed of the alliance was very fast, and the order to allocate teams was issued the next day. According to the level of meritorious service, Chen Lin was assigned to the first echelon of the evacuation team, and the leader was a real Jindan.
Although he is in the first echelon, Chen Lin is not happy.
He had secretly investigated and found that there were more than 3,000 people in their evacuation team, dozens of foundation-building monks, and the rest were in the Qi training period. Such a huge target was too big.
Even though there is a Jindan monk leading the team, this real person Pang is not very strong, except that he is in the early stage of Jindan, and it is said that he has lived for more than 400 years, and his lifespan is running out.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the core of your team. Instead, it looks like it was deliberately set up to block the gun.
Chen Lin was unsure and did not report it directly. Instead, he found Qian Li again.
"How is it? Which team have you been assigned to? Have you contacted other foundation-building monks?"
The two met at Qian Li's residence. Chen Lin first talked about his situation and guesses, and then asked the other party.
Qian Li gave a wry smile and said: "I was assigned to a team in the second echelon. The team was led by a veteran cultivator with perfect Foundation Establishment. He is also the type who is about to reach his longevity. It seems you are right. We,
I’m afraid everyone is just cannon fodder, and the real core personnel have already been withdrawn!”
Chen Lin nodded and said solemnly: "If this is the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to report it. These old cultivators who are approaching their longevity must have reached an agreement with the alliance and exchanged their own lives for the safety of their family members and descendants. They will definitely
Those who faithfully carry out the orders of the alliance, like me and other foundation-building monks, will be detained and used as the main force as long as they sign up, and it will be impossible to leave alone."
Qian Li agreed: "I think so too. Yesterday I contacted several foundation-building monks that I usually have good friends with. Everyone also felt that the situation was abnormal and wanted to break away from the large army and act alone, and some people have already organized it."
"Oh?" Chen Lin was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Who is this organizer? Is it reliable?"
Although he wanted to find some companions to act together, which would be safer, he also needed someone more reliable.
"Ahem." Qian Li coughed slightly, seeming a little embarrassed, and then whispered: "Young Taoist Lin must also know this person."
"I know, who is that?" Chen Lin looked at the other person suspiciously and urged: "What time of the day is this? You still have time to play riddles. Maybe the order to leave will come soon."
Qian Li straightened his expression and said, "The organizer is Mrs. Bones!"
"who?"
Chen Lin was quite surprised now.
It’s not that there is any discrimination against Mrs. Bones, but because of her identity and status, there is no reason why she should not be among the core staff!
Suddenly, he remembered something, looked at Qian Li suspiciously, looked at him for a while and said, "I said you are not surrendering to the pomegranate skirt of Mrs. Bones, are you?"
Qian Li's face turned red, but he immediately stiffened his neck and said, "What is surrender? That is dual cultivation!"
Chen Lin rolled his eyes. Sure enough, this guy has been taken down by Madam White Bone. He couldn't help but complain: "One on one is called double cultivation, and ten on one is called face. But don't you mean that you are because of Fairy Zixia?"
What happened caused the situation to fail? How can I satisfy Madam Bones?"
"Get out!" Qian Li cursed and said, "It wasn't because of you. If you hadn't asked me to contact other people, how could I have met Madam Bones, and I wouldn't have been captured!"
Chen Lin opened his mouth but was speechless.
He immediately changed the subject and said: "So, you have decided to join Madam Bones' team. How many people are there in total?"
Qian Li no longer hesitated. This matter was not entirely forced by Madam Bones. He himself also half-heartedly accepted it.
The other party's method was wonderful, and he easily regained his manhood, and the process was so wonderful that he was still recalling it. Even if the Bone Lady drove him away, he wouldn't even want to.
He nodded and said: "In the current situation, I naturally have to follow Madam White Bones. In addition to a few faces of Madam White Bones, the team has also summoned some foundation-building monks, about ten or so, and there will be no more than three in total.
ten people."
At this point, he glanced at Chen Lin and said: "What do you plan to do? Make a decision quickly. Madam Bones will leave tonight. If you want to join, hurry up. She will definitely agree with my introduction. In addition, I want to
Let me remind you that the city gate is now closed and there is no access token. It is impossible for you to leave alone. You must either join us or follow the large army. You must consider it carefully. "
Chen Lin frowned and remained silent, then suddenly said after a long time: "Mrs. Bones is so magical that she made you give up just once?"
He was really curious about this woman in his heart. Her method of taming men was so powerful that he felt that as long as a man got close to her, he would give in to her.
And the other party coveted him very much!
Qian Li was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said angrily: "Why, you want to try it too? But I tell you, it's really magical. The taste is guaranteed to make you want to stop after you taste it, and you want to try it."
If you taste it, you don’t have to think about me. She and I are not Taoists, so we won’t be jealous.”
Chen Lin stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Jia Qia, you are indeed my good brother."
Immediately he shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I can't do it anymore. The skills I practice can't approach women. Otherwise, with my capital, women don't have it. I want to think about this matter and give you an answer before tonight."
