After letting the old shopkeeper leave, Chen Lin began to check his storage bag.
A lot has been gained during this period, so it is necessary to categorize them carefully so that they are not difficult to find when using them.
After some inspection, Chen Lin showed a satisfied smile.
At the Nascent Soul Ceremony, he received gifts from Phantom Lord and others, which immediately raised his treasure level.
Among them, the treasure given by Master Phantom is the best, which is a black shield with mysterious patterns.
This is a top-grade defensive weapon!
Defensive spiritual weapons were rare in themselves, let alone top-grade ones, which Chen Lin couldn't put down.
After enlarging it, the word "Heavy Mountain" is engraved on one side, which means that the shield is as thick as a heavy mountain and has amazing defensive power.
In addition, there is also a high-grade spiritual weapon, the Flying Sword, which is dark red in color and is called Red Fire. It also complements his main skill.
This was given to him by the wizened old man with a low sense of presence.
There are also several rare talismans, and I even got another talisman!
In this way, he has three high-grade spiritual weapons, the Black Ink Spirit Boat, the Crimson Fire Sword, and the Heavy Mountain Shield, integrating offense and defense, so that he can escape and save his life.
The two talismans are both attack-type. The one given by Master He before was a flying sword, while this one has a big gun on it.
After counting, the number of spiritual weapons in his hand reached double digits!
Such a net worth is simply unimaginable to an early-stage Foundation Establishment monk. Becoming a disciple of True Monarch Nascent Soul has many benefits!
Early the next morning.
The old shopkeeper came with three monks from his family, a son and two grandsons.
The son is very similar to the old shopkeeper. He is already in his fifties and looks older than Chen Lin. However, his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Qi training.
The two grandsons are quite young, both in their twenties. One is in the middle stage of Qi training, and the other is in the early stage of Qi training.
Chen Lin glanced at them and knew that the spiritual qualifications of these people were average.
Although the old shopkeeper has never enriched his own pockets in the past few years in the shop, he has not treated him badly. The treatment of elixirs and spiritual stones is much higher than that of other shopkeepers, and his children and grandchildren have much better cultivation resources than those of casual cultivators.
Although none of them showed any resistance, Chen Lin still rejected the old shopkeeper's request. In the end, at the other's request, he only signed a blood contract with the other party himself, while his children and grandchildren gave them some benefits to let them leave.
.
With his character, there is no telling when he will run away when he encounters danger. It would not be good to harm the other person's whole family.
As for the old shopkeeper himself, there was nothing wrong with him.
Without his help, the other party would only be able to live another twenty or thirty years at most. Now I am giving him another life, and signing the contract is also the proper meaning.
But after signing the deed, if the other party continues to produce heirs, the blood deed will be passed on. Whether the other party wants to maintain this relationship or not depends entirely on the other party's will.
After dealing with this matter, Chen Lin continued to pay attention to the auction, looking for the treasure to overcome the tribulation, but unfortunately he waited until the end of the auction and failed to find it.
After the auction ended, a large number of monks began to leave, the city returned to normal, and the top-quality spiritual veins that had been transferred by Fairy Silver were also stabilized, and the distribution of caves began.
As a true disciple, Chen Lin was naturally assigned to the one closest to the top of the mountain with the best spiritual energy, so he went directly there.
The night sky is like the sea, and the flowing clouds are like whales.
After Chen Lin simply decorated the cave, he stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the stars, with memories of the past constantly resurrecting in his mind.
Although the pictures of this life and past lives are broken, they are still very clear.
After a long time, he sighed and cast his gaze on the majestic Silver Fairy City.
With the strength of the monks, it took five years to build, so one can imagine the scale of this city.
Looking around, they are all regular buildings, with luminous stones inlaid on both sides of the main road. Although they are not as bright as the lights in the previous life, they have a different artistic conception.
"The past life has become a cloud, and I don't know if there is still a chance to go back. But even if I can go back one day, I am afraid that times have changed and the world has changed!"
Chen Lin sighed inwardly and began to let his mind wander.
Suddenly, a strange aura emanated from his body, and then a familiar scene appeared in front of him.
Scarecrow hut!
The sudden appearance of the nightmare world shocked Chen Lin.
Doesn't it mean that after leaving according to the rules, you won't be pulled into the nightmare world again? Why did it pop up again?
Surprised, Chen Lin immediately discovered something unusual.
Although the scene of the scarecrow's hut appeared this time, he did not lose consciousness. It can also be said that he was not pulled into it, but existed as a bystander.
Without any hesitation, he immediately returned to the cave and activated the formation in the cave.
"Uncle, uncle, have you seen Niuniu?"
As soon as he returned to the cave, Chen Lin remembered the voice of the little girl with the scarecrow in his mind, and then two braids were exposed from the wall of the small courtyard.
The braid got higher and higher, finally revealing the little girl's head.
There seemed to be something under her feet, which seemed very unstable and dangling, but her eyes were always staring in Chen Lin's direction.
The other party can see him!
Chen Lin was slightly shocked, wondering how the other party could contact him and whether he would be involved.
"Uncle, have you seen Niuniu?"
The little girl's voice sounded again, seemingly anxious.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said: "I saw it, Niuniu, how did you find me? What's the matter?"
"Ah, uncle, you can see it, that's great!"
The little girl was so happy that she accidentally fell off the wall again, and it took her a long time to climb back up.
She said excitedly: "Uncle, after Niuniu became the guardian of the scarecrow hut, he was the first guest to weave two substitutes. Of course, Niuniu has to pay close attention to it, but it took a lot of effort to find you, uncle. Can you
Can you do Niuniu a favor?"
help?
Chen Lin was shocked.
It feels weird for a scarecrow from the nightmare world to cross the border to seek help from an early-stage foundation-building monk.
"Uncle's cultivation level is very low. I'm afraid he won't be able to help Niuniu. Otherwise, why don't you ask someone else?"
Chen Lin declined politely and did not dare to be too harsh. Even though the other party was just a little girl, her methods were unpredictable. Once she got angry, he might not be able to resist her.
"Oh, uncle, please help Niu Niu. Niu Niu can give you a gift!"
The little girl's little straw face showed a look of pleading.
Chen Lin wanted to cut off the contact directly, but he didn't know the way and didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to agree perfunctorily: "Then what does Niuniu need me to do?"
Hearing Chen Lin's promise, the little girl became happy again and said quickly: "It's very simple. Niuniu's stuffed toy is trapped in your uncle's interface. It's very close to you. Uncle, please help me remove the thing that trapped it."
That’s it!”
Ragdoll toys?
Chen Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party's request was this, but where could he find a stuffed toy?
Wait, that’s not right!
Suddenly, the sarcophagus in the mine appeared in Chen Lin's mind. He swallowed and said, "After what you said, are you trapped in a sarcophagus?"
The little girl clapped her hands excitedly and said: "Yes, yes, that's the uncle. I wanted you to help me last time, but I couldn't say it due to the rules. Now I can knit the extra substitute you made into mine."
If you break the rules once, uncle must remember to help, definitely, definitely!"
The little girl's voice became more and more distant, and the scene in front of her began to fade.
At this time, Chen Lin suddenly remembered something and said urgently: "Niuniu, did you see a silver-haired woman entering your place..."
However, before the other party could answer, the picture gradually shattered and eventually disappeared.
Chen Lin stayed where he was and didn't move for a long time.
What was sealed in the sarcophagus turned out to be a little girl's stuffed toy. This was so unexpected.
Moreover, a toy has such a powerful power in the real world. If the little girl's body comes here, how powerful will it be?
This little girl is definitely not as harmless as she looks!
Chen Lin couldn't help but feel very depressed. This was really trouble from heaven. He thought that if he didn't take the initiative to provoke him, he would no longer be involved with the nightmare world, but he didn't expect that he would be found.
In addition, he previously suspected that the ancient cultivator in the cave that Zhang Yuanqing discovered was the one who sealed the sarcophagus. If the calculation is correct, then the sarcophagus has been sealed for at least thousands of years!
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin felt that he could not solve this matter by himself and had to report it to Fairy Silver.
However, he did not have Silver Fairy's messenger talisman, so he had to go to Mu Linglong first.
"What, you said that little girl from the nightmare world contacted you!"
Mu Linglong, who was originally a little angry at Chen Lin meeting him in the middle of the night, exclaimed after hearing the information.
Then, she spoke anxiously: "What did she say? Did you ask her if she had seen Master and the others?"
Chen Lin recounted the conversation between him and his youngest daughter, and then said: "I asked Master about the matter, but the picture broke before the other party could answer."
Mu Linglong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Did it break in the middle? That should be a good thing. It means that the other party is indeed restricted by the rules. Otherwise, if such a terrifying existence could break through the boundary at will, we would all be in danger."
Chen Lin also believed this. He was afraid of this, so he hurriedly asked the other party for help.
"Sister, do you think I should follow the little girl's request and take out the doll from the sarcophagus?"
This is also his dilemma.
If you don't help, if the little girl blames you, the consequences will be unpredictable.
But if he wanted to help, he couldn't predict whether the doll in the sarcophagus was in danger, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
When Mu Linglong heard this, she also frowned and couldn't think of anything for a while.
After a long time, she said: "Master has entered the nightmare world with Senior Phantom and others, and the cave is completely closed. I think it would be better to wait until Master comes out of the nightmare world. With your cultivation level, you may not be able to break through that cave.
The seal of the sarcophagus is sealed, and others dare not approach the sarcophagus. If you act rashly, problems may arise."
Chen Lin nodded. This was all he could do now. He would never move the sarcophagus if he was asked to do so.
"Senior sister, do you think there is any distance limit for creatures from the nightmare world when they cross the interface?"
Mu Linglong glanced at him and said: "Don't think about it. If it's a space node, it might be okay to stay away, but you have been marked now, let alone leaving Silver Fairy City, even if you run to other interfaces
You have to be found if you go. The Nightmare Realm is a recognized high-level plane, higher than the legendary Upper Realm. Anyway, that little girl seems to have very good senses for you, so she shouldn't be disadvantageous to you."
Chen Lin shook his head, a little helpless, but had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
