After leaving the tavern, Chen Lin returned to his residence and began to sort out the information from the landlady.
Why did this person go to the ruins of the ancient country and how did he get out? The other party did not elaborate. He just said that the inside looked no different from a normal country, but everyone was extremely dangerous.
Everyone is still alive, but they have become products of the rules. Even if I am just a child, within the scope of its rules, I am very powerful.
The most important thing is that because the rules in the ruins are different from those in the outside world, the monks' strength is severely suppressed. Over time, those who enter will unknowingly integrate into it and become a part of it.
This is a nightmare world scene that is not in the nightmare world!
The more he learned, the more Chen Lin became wary of this ruin, and decided to hire an old cultivator to explore it first, to at least confirm whether Luo Qinglan was inside before deciding to enter.
He looked at the arowana cup in his hand, shook his head, and put it away.
If it's like what the landlady said, no matter how many experienced cultivators are hired to explore, there may not be much hope.
Three days later.
Chen Lin received a summons from the female shopkeeper of Ruyi Pavilion and everyone was here.
He immediately got up and went.
"Senior, this time there are a total of twenty late-stage Qi-training monks and eight foundation-building monks to take on this task. If there are not enough, you can continue to recruit."
The female shopkeeper is the manager of the Blood Knife Sect, and the people she is looking for are also people from the Blood Knife Sect.
The Blood Knife Sect practices blood-related skills. Even if they are old, they all still have the aura of blood evil.
This cheered up Chen Lin, and he did the right thing by asking the other party to help introduce candidates. These Blood Knife Sect disciples seemed to have rich experience in actual combat, and they might really be able to bring him a glimmer of hope.
"Senior." The female shopkeeper continued: "These eight foundation-building monks have their own specialties. One of them has a special physique, and another has innate abilities. All of them meet the requirements of the seniors."
"oh?"
Chen Lin looked surprised.
Special physiques are nothing, they are all mixed, some are good and some are bad, the good ones are very unnatural, and the bad ones are not helpful or even harmful to your cultivation.
But innate abilities are rare, and every one of them is extraordinary. The ones he has encountered since time travel are all the best among men, and they are much stronger than the monks of the same period.
Such a chosen son should not be unable to obtain the Seven Star Pill, and any sect that has such a disciple will try its best to cultivate him, and there should be no need to use this method to obtain the Seven Star Pill.
"Which two are they, what kind of physiques and talents do they have, let's talk about them."
Chen Lin looked at the eight foundations, five men and three women, most of them were old, and only two looked younger.
The female shopkeeper immediately nodded, and then said to two of the eight foundation-building monks: "You two, please introduce yourself to Senior Chen!"
Unexpectedly, these two people were not the young ones, but two old men, a man and a woman.
The two looked at each other, and the old woman took a step forward.
She bowed and said: "Returning to the seniors, junior Zhou Rong has a Yin-transforming physique, which is originally beneficial to practicing Yin-type exercises. However, the junior's Yin-transforming physique is not obvious, so it has not been discovered since childhood. Through this sect,
The Blood Spirit Ceremony was activated after the spirit opening, but it was too late. The Blood Spirit Sect's spiritual skills are yang-oriented and conflict with the yin-transforming physique of the younger generation, causing the younger generation's practice speed to be much slower than that of normal monks."
Chen Lin was also very sad when he heard this.
Yin Ling's physique is an upper-class physique, which is rare. The other party was supposed to be God's favorite, but it turned out like this. No wonder he looked depressed.
If it were someone with poor mental endurance, it would be possible for him to collapse directly, but the other party could still build a foundation, which was already considered a strong will.
But he just sighed.
In the vast world, every living being has his own destiny. Although he has the talent to change his destiny, he does not have the ability to change the destiny of others, and he cannot help everyone.
Putting away his thoughts, Chen Lin looked at another skinny old man.
The old man immediately took a step forward and said: "Senior, the junior Zhou Shiwu has some strange natural abilities. I have never seen the same type of existence. I call him a mortal."
"How?"
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows and asked aloud.
The old man gave a wry smile and continued: "It can transform spiritual objects into mortal objects, and its ability is not very strong. At present, it can only erase the spirituality of items at the level of primary magic weapons."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other monks showed pity, obviously they all knew about the old man's situation.
There are only one person with innate ability, and he was finally chosen by God, but he has a once-in-a-lifetime useless ability. This is even more uncomfortable than having no ability at all.
If you can turn mortal things into spirits, that would be a magical skill, but if you can turn spiritual things into mortals, I really don't know what the use is.
Chen Lin looked thoughtful.
He himself has innate abilities and knows that there is a huge difference between innate abilities and special physiques, because innate abilities can be advanced!
Although it is useless now, if it extends to other abilities after advancement, it may explode. It is precisely because of this that he helped Yang Zishi implant his spiritual roots at all costs and let him become a monk.
But it's very difficult to advance.
After pondering for a while, Chen Lin glanced at the female shopkeeper, then at Zhou Shiwu, and asked: "What is your position in the sect, and to what extent have you practiced the Blood Spirit Magic Art?"
The situation of the Blood Knife Sect is different from that of ordinary sects. Disciples will open their souls through a soul-opening ceremony, which will cause essential changes in their bodies. This is very consistent with the blood spirit magic inherited by this sect. It can advance quickly, whether it is building a foundation or forming a pill.
, are more than twice as fast as those with the same spiritual root qualifications.
But the disadvantages are also great.
Once the spirit is opened, you can only practice the Blood Spirit Magic Technique and cannot modify other techniques. This is why the old woman with Yin Transformation physique is depressed.
The old cultivator didn't know why Chen Lin asked this, but he had an intuition that something would change his life.
He immediately said: "Reporting to the senior, the junior has not opened the spirit, because the junior has not started, but is a disciple of the clan affiliated to the sect. The ancestor is the Yuan Ying elder of the sect. He died thirty years ago. Now we are in the Zhou family
I am a monk with perfect golden elixir."
Chen Lin glanced at the other party.
As expected, people are old and smart, and I just asked casually, feeling the convenience, and almost revealed all my family background.
But he really wanted to keep the other person by his side.
He firmly believes that there is no innate ability of waste, but there is no way to discover and use it.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin called the female shopkeeper aside.
"Shopkeeper Zheng, if I want to take Zhou Shiwu as my subordinate, will the Blood Knife Sect have any objections?"
Although the other party is not an introductory disciple of the Blood Knife Sect, he is still under the control of the Blood Knife Sect. If you want to accept someone, you still have to ask clearly.
The female shopkeeper was very surprised and said: "Senior, did you see something unusual? Zhou Shiwu's current cultivation level is only in the middle stage of foundation building, but his longevity is only more than ten years. There is no value in cultivating him. Could it be that his innate ability
Is it useful to seniors?”
Chen Lin shook his head and said: "It's of no use, but I have a strong interest in natural abilities and want to study them."
The female shopkeeper's face changed after hearing this.
When the word "research" appears in the monk's mouth, it means many things, and many unbearable images have appeared in her mind.
But for people who are approaching their longevity, it doesn't matter. Entering the ruins of an ancient country will also lead to a narrow escape from death.
So she said bluntly: "Zhou Shiwu is not a disciple of the sect. He can stay or leave as he pleases. Seniors don't have to worry about the sect. As long as he is willing, he can at most seek the opinions of the other family."
Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction, took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to the other party, "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Zheng. I've been in quite a lot of trouble these days. This bottle of elixir is just right for you. It's a little thought of mine."
The female shopkeeper's eyes lit up, she took the elixir bottle and bowed.
"Thank you, senior, for the elixir!"
The monk who transformed the spirit must not be too shabby, so she thanked him without even looking at him.
Chen Lin waved his hand and said nothing more.
Returning to the group of veteran cultivators, Chen Lin explained the contents of the mission, and then said: "Whether he is alive or dead, Qi-training cultivators can get two foundation-building pills, and foundation-building cultivators can get one three-line seven-star pill. If they die,
, the reward will be handed over to the designated heir. If you can come out alive, the reward will be doubled. If you can find out the information I told you, the reward will be doubled again!"
Rewards must be provided step by step to keep people motivated.
Then, Chen Lin looked at everyone, and after seeing that no one raised any objections, he said: "If you have any objections, raise them quickly. If there are no objections, just sign the spiritual contract!"
No one said anything, they all silently signed the spiritual contract.
If you are prepared before coming here, you will naturally not regret it.
"Very good, as long as everyone works hard, rewards are not a problem. Now go outside the city, and then I will personally take you to the edge of the ruins. I will introduce the content of the mission and precautions in detail along the way!"
Encouraged again, Chen Lin separated from the female shopkeeper, led his men to the outside of the city gate, and inspired the spirit boat to head towards the ruins of the ancient country.
There are some dangerous places in the middle, but it is not too dangerous for the cultivator. With him and Xiaocao here, there is no need to worry.
The spirit boat moved forward steadily. Chen Lin handed it over to Fat Hu for control, and then called Zhou Shiwu to the bow.
After casting a shielding spell, he looked at the other party and said directly: "Are you willing to follow me?"
Zhou Shiwu said nothing and immediately replied excitedly: "Junior is willing!"
Chen Lin nodded slightly.
No one can resist the temptation of living. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, they must fight for it with all their strength. The other party's behavior is very normal.
"Okay, then you don't need to participate in this operation. Later you and I will sign a soul contract. You will follow me as my subordinate. I will provide you with sufficient resources. If you can form a pill, then I will accept it."
You are my disciple."
Having said this first, he will then have to examine the other party's character and temperament, as well as whether he is in any trouble, etc. He cannot listen to the words of the Ruyi Pavilion manager and his family.
After all, they are the people around them, and it is not safe enough to be bound by a contract alone.
"Yes, I will obey the decree of my predecessors!"
Zhou Shiwu had long been aware of this and had no resistance to signing the soul contract. He was also a little surprised by Chen Lin's promise to accept a disciple.
Disciples and subordinates are all different in terms of status and resources.
"Who!"
While communicating with Zhou Shiwu, Chen Lin's face darkened, and then his body exploded and rushed out of the spirit boat's shield!
