I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1617 A little test of skills

After a successful strike, Chen Lin roughly understood the strength of the warriors here. Without hesitation, he controlled the Mermaid Sword, eliminated the remaining people in a few moves, and then withdrew.

"Now that my friend has come, why should we be in such a hurry to leave?"

As the low voice sounded, a middle-aged man in white appeared in front of Chen Lin.

Chen Lin paused and didn't say anything.

"Haha, your illusion is indeed mysterious, but it can't deceive my perception. There is no need to hide."

The middle-aged man in white looked at Chen Lin's position and sneered, calling him "Broken Xingzang".

"You are Qi Yuanbai?"

Chen Lin put away his illusion and looked the other person up and down.

This person is far superior to Sun Xinglun in terms of physical skills, sensory ability, and character. It seems that the people with supernatural powers here also have different levels.

But they all have square bodies and it’s hard to tell what they are.

"You know me?"

The middle-aged man in white clothes' eyes moved slightly.

"So, my friend came prepared?"

"It's not good for you to know too much. If I were you, I would hide in the house and not come out."

"Hahaha!"

"hide?"

"You are so arrogant. I, Qi Yuanbai, still don't know how to write the word 'hide' since I came out of the mountains. So today, please teach me!"

The man in white laughed in anger.

Then he waved his hand, and a chain of light appeared out of thin air and instantly reached above Chen Lin's head.

Seeing this, Chen Lin's mind moved, and a small soul shield appeared, blocking the light chain.

It was only blocked for a moment before being pierced through directly.

But it also gave Chen Lin an opportunity to dodge and move several feet away.

But what he didn't expect was that the light chain released by the other party followed him like a shadow and appeared in front of him in a flash.

  This magical power is like a treasure. It can be maintained for a long time and can track the target!

In desperation, Chen Lin could only condense a small soul shield again. At the same time, with a flick of his finger, the mermaid sword turned into a beautiful shadow and counterattacked Qi Yuanbai.

"Exotic treasure? What a pity, it's too slow!"

Qi Yuanbai's face showed surprise, and he dodged the mermaid sword in a flash.

Seeing this scene, Chen Lin did not control the Mermaid Sword to continue attacking. The disadvantage of this small sword is that it is slow. As long as the body movement is fast enough, it is difficult to hit the target.

But he didn't care.

The reason why he didn't take action first was that he wanted to try out the strength of the magical powers here. Now that he had the answer, there was no need to get entangled with the other party anymore.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin's brows bulged and a pale eyeball appeared.

"Alternative magical power, wait, who are you!"

As soon as the strange sign of the death gaze appeared, Qi Yuanbai sensed it and immediately spoke in a hurry.

However, Wei Li was faster than him.

As the pale eyeballs appeared, they enveloped him, and a sense of death quickly devoured his life.

"impossible……"

Qi Yuanbai struggled for a while, but he could not get rid of the deathly desire and soon he died.

The light chain of the lightning whip also disappeared.

Chen Lin was slightly startled.

The death gaze can rarely kill the enemy directly, and he was planning to kill the opponent with the mermaid sword, but it saved him from trouble.

Immediately he understood again.

The practitioners here cannot be compared with those in the outside world. Apart from their weird appearance, they are actually just ordinary people. Even those with supernatural powers are at most equivalent to the Dharma Source cultivators, and naturally their resistance to the death gaze is not very strong.

Chen Lin touched his eyebrows.

This unique magic technique really gives him surprises time and time again.

However, here, it is still more or less suppressed, its power is reduced, it can only be used once, and it will take at least half an hour to recover.

It can only be used as a trump card, not a conventional means.

Putting his thoughts aside, Chen Lin went to look at the building complex first, and when he didn't see anyone else, he returned and gathered all the bodies together.

He looted the spoils, then took out the corpse-dissolving water and cleaned everything up.

Taking advantage of the night, he took a short walk around the city before returning to the second young lady's residence.

"How's it going? Was it successful?"

The second young lady was waiting anxiously in the yard. When she saw Chen Lin suddenly appear, she was startled at first, and then she immediately stepped forward and asked nervously.

Chen Lin took out two items.

One was Sun Xinglun’s guard captain token, and the other was Qi Yuanbai’s clothes.

"This is?"

The captain of the guards knew the Second Miss, but Qi Yuanbai's clothes puzzled her. In her impression, Sun Xinglun never seemed to wear a white robe, and this robe was too big, so it definitely did not belong to Sun Xinglun.

"I met the Qi Yuanbai you mentioned, and dealt with him at the same time to avoid trouble later."

Chen Lin said casually.

When the second young lady heard this, she stood there in a daze.

"Why, Qi Yuanbai can't be killed?"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Chen Lin frowned slightly.

He immediately added: "You didn't remind me of this. It's none of my business. The reward I mentioned before must not be reduced!"

"No, no."

The second young lady waved her hands repeatedly.

His expression changed for a while and then he bowed deeply to Chen Lin.

"Thank you for avenging me, sir. You must be tired, please go and rest first. The treasure I mentioned before is not in this yard. I have hidden it in a secret place. I will fetch it and give it to you tomorrow."

"it is good."

Chen Lin nodded.

He knew that the other party wanted to confirm and couldn't just say what he said.

The next day, the whole Zhou Mansion was noisy.

The originally peaceful courtyard was now crowded with people walking anxiously. All the guards were deployed, and the atmosphere was as panic-stricken as ever.

The second young lady returned from outside, surprised and happy. She suppressed her excitement and came to Chen Lin's room.

"How is it, have you confirmed it?"

Chen Lin asked calmly.

"Don't misunderstand me, sir. I don't mean to distrust you. I really went to get the treasure for you."

After saying that, she took out a jade pendant from her embroidered bag and handed it to Chen Lin respectfully.

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

Although this jade pendant is also square in shape, there is a dark gold line in the middle that curves and coils like an earthworm.

Arc!

Anything that is arc-shaped must be something that breaks the rules of this place. Maybe this jade pendant can be taken out.

"What kind of treasure is this?"

Chen Lin took the jade pendant in his hand but did not try it rashly.

"This is my mother's relic. The Third Madam has been plotting to get this thing. It is a rare treasure that can absorb the power of the moonlight and form a strange rune. After refining it, you can gain a different kind of magical power."

"Another magical power?"

Chen Lin pretended to be surprised.

"What kind?"

Qi Yuanbai had mentioned alternative magical powers before, and now the other party mentioned it again, which shows that alternative magical powers are more powerful than ordinary magical powers.

The second young lady shook her head.

"I don't know either. This item was obtained by my mother from the Holy Land, but she has never been able to refine it. But you also know that as long as the magical jade talisman that appears in the Holy Land is golden, as long as it can be successfully refined, it must be an alternative magical power. There is no mistake."

Chen Lin nodded slightly, showing that he understood.

I was wondering where the holy land was, but I didn't see it in the books I consulted.

"Okay, the item meets your requirements, and we'll settle the payment."

Chen Lin put away the jade pendant and prepared to leave the Zhou family.

Having been delayed for these days, his exploration progress has been much slower than that of others. Now that another holy land has emerged, he also needs to go and take a look.

Since it is called a holy land, it should be the core place in the city, and there must be high-level treasures there.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, my lord. I have something to ask of you."

The second young lady's eyes flashed, and she opened her small mouth slightly to stop Chen Lin.

"What else? I don't want to make any more deals involving murder."

Chen Lin immediately shut up the conversation.

The Zhou family would probably be in chaos for a while after the death of an important figure like Qi Yuanbai. Although he was not afraid of being found out, he did not want to get involved in this quagmire.

"My Lord, do you know why our Zhou family has been able to stand in this city for more than a thousand years and compete with other major forces?"

"Why?"

Chen Lin became interested and asked casually.

"It's a pipe with a peculiar shape!"

The second young lady spoke in a serious tone.

"My father is the patriarch of the Zhou family, but his strength is only first-rate, not yet at the level of a master. Even if he has the Earth Spirit Sword, it is not enough to compete with other forces."

"But outsiders don't know that in addition to the Earth Spirit Sword, my family also has a pipe that has been passed down. By lighting special tobacco, we can summon the gods."

"My family has encountered disasters several times in the past, and we relied on the help of gods to overcome difficulties. Therefore, the outside world believes that my family has a powerful ancestor with supernatural powers."

"Then what do you mean?"

Chen Lin asked with interest.

"I want to make a deal with you, my Lord."

The second young lady looked at Chen Lin.

Seeing that Chen Lin didn't say anything, he said to himself: "I would like to ask you to help me ascend to the position of the head of the family. I will give you the pipe and the method of using it!"

"You want to be the head of the family?"

Chen Lin was quite surprised.

This little girl is quite courageous and imaginative enough.

"Forget it. I'm just a small assassin. I'm good at killing people, but I don't have the ability to seize power and usurp the throne."

"I just want you to kill someone!"

"Kill who? Kill your father?"

Chen Lin looked at the other person with a smile, he didn't believe that the other person was so cruel.

However, he guessed wrong.

The second young lady's expression changed, and then she nodded heavily.

"Ah."

Without waiting for Chen Lin to respond, she said in a gloomy tone: "Although he is my father, he has never been able to treat me as a daughter since I was a child. I have even met him less than once. My mother's death was also caused by his acquiescence. He is not worthy of being my father!"

Chen Lin was noncommittal.

The Zhou family is not a small family. In addition to the other party’s father, there are several branches.

The other party is all alone, and unless he kills all the people with the surname Zhou, he will never be able to take the position of the head of the family.

There is no need to make such a fuss for a rare treasure.

If he wanted, he could just do it secretly and help the other party seize the position of the head of the family. Even if he succeeded, it would inevitably attract attention from all sides, which would be detrimental to his next actions.

"If you think the reward is not enough, I can add more. If you need anything, just ask."

"I don't want anything, and I don't have the ability. You should find someone else who is more skilled!"

Chen Lin refused again.

A flash of disappointment passed through the second young lady's eyes.

He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "The opening time of the Holy Land is coming soon. As long as you help me win the position of Patriarch, our Zhou family's quota to enter the Holy Land will be given to you!"
