I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 3 Hidden danger
No sleep for one night.

The next morning, Chen Lin got up early to go to the market to buy materials, but before he could go out, someone knocked on the door.

"Chen Daoyou, it's me, Zhao Zhengyuan."

What is the other party doing again?
Chen Lin was a little puzzled, but he still walked over to open the door.

"Daoyou Zhao, what's the matter so early?"

The door opened, and Chen Lin greeted the other party to come in.

"Oh, don't mention it, I drank so much last night that I actually forgot the business."

Zhao Zhengyuan shook the snow on his hat, and said in a deep voice, "It's about our bewitched last time."

Immediately, he squinted and sneered again: "But don't worry, I, Zhao, will take care of things. There is nothing in Kaiyuan City that I, Zhao, can't handle!"

Chen Lin also squinted and sneered back, then bowed his head and remained silent.

The thing that had been on his mind all the time came to mind.

The death of the original owner was not a normal death.

A month ago, the original owner and a few companions went to the wilderness to collect materials, and when they came back, they became confused, and then died inexplicably, and were possessed by him through time travel.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he was only sick for a few days before recovering.

But the companions who went with him all died one after another, leaving only Zhao Zhengyuan in front of him.

So in fact, only the other party survived, which is why he guarded against the other party.

As for the squinting and sneering and the thin red line, he had long ignored it. Everyone in the city was the same, and they couldn't prevent it even if they wanted to.

Except when the red line appeared at midnight, he didn't dare to come out, and lived in the normal world at other times.

"Why, did you find anything?"

Chen Lin also wanted to know what happened that time, and looked at the other party with probing eyes.

The change of squinting and sneering was only for a moment. At this moment, Zhao Zhengyuan had returned to normal. He shook his head and said, "It's not that there was a discovery, but someone else had an accident. The state is exactly the same as ours before!"

"what?"

Chen Lin was taken aback.

"Another accident happened, who is it, what cultivation level?"

Zhao Zhengyuan's face was a bit ugly: "This time there are a lot of people, there are more than a dozen, the highest is the late stage of Qi training, and there are monks from the five major families."

Immediately, he squinted and sneered again: "The five big families are nothing, you can rest assured that you have me, Old Zhao!"

"There are so many people, and there are five families?"

Chen Lin's expression changed.

The five major families refer to the five major families with foundation-building monks in the city, who are the actual controllers of the city.

"That's right, and these people also got sick after returning from the wilderness. If they all die, I'm afraid the two of us will be investigated."

Zhao Zhengyuan's tone was a little dull.

This was exactly what Chen Lin was worried about.

The people before them were all casual practitioners in the early stage of Qi training, and no one cared whether they died or not.

Now that there are accidents in the late stage of Qi training, and there are family monks, they will definitely be taken seriously, and investigations may be inevitable.

He is not afraid of other things, but he is afraid that the identity of the time traveler will be found out, or that he is different from the people here, and it will be over.

Although the monks here are a group of marionettes, they are still doing things according to normal behavior. Even if he is a little special, he is just a coolie monk at the lowest level.

"Investigate and investigate, isn't it okay if you don't die?"

He felt uneasy, but Chen Lin didn't care.

Zhao Zhengyuan sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid that some people will use chicken feathers as arrows to deliberately make things difficult, and we will have to take out a lot of spirit stones."

Chen Lin's face also darkened.

This sort of thing is almost certain.

Normally, those managers would like to scrape off a layer of their skin. If they investigate the cause of the evil, they will definitely not stop until they are squeezed dry.

Without the spirit stone, he would not be able to improve his cultivation quickly, and his escape plan would be interfered with.

"Then what are you going to do, get out of here?"

Chen Lin looked at the other party and asked tentatively.

If a group of people can be organized to leave together, there will be a glimmer of hope even if they are weaker.

He didn't want to stay in this weird place for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhengyuan shook his head again and again.

"Leave? Are you kidding? The heavy snow is so abnormal. I don't want to go out of the city to die, and we didn't make any mistakes. If we escape, it will be considered a problem. Isn't that asking for death?"

Immediately, the other party's temperament changed, and he squinted and sneered, "I, Zhao Zhengyuan, can't do that kind of behavior!"

Chen Lin nodded helplessly.

The other party couldn't feel the abnormality here, and his thinking couldn't be the same as his. The two of them couldn't agree on their goals.

"Hey, let's take one step at a time. Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, we can't avoid it. After all, we have to spend money to avoid disaster. Who made us have a low cultivation base and no background!"

Chen Lin shrugged.

Zhao Zhengyuan showed a deeply appreciative expression.

The two discussed for a while, but they couldn't think of any good solution. They could only pray that a few more people who had the accident would survive this time, and it would be best if none of them died.

In that case, it means that the problem is not serious, and the people of the five major families will not be alarmed.

After all, their foundation builders are all missing, so they shouldn't be bothering with such trivial matters now.

After Zhao Zhengyuan left.

Chen Lin sat on the stool and frowned in thought.

It is really not advisable to pin your hopes on others, you must quickly improve your cultivation base.

In the early stage of Qi training, it is too weak, not even as good as a stronger warrior, and it has to rely on talismans to cast spells.

In the middle stage of Qi training, not only can you practice spells, but you can also use magical weapons, and then you can be regarded as a real immortal cultivator.

Once he has the strength to protect himself, he will leave this weird city as soon as possible. He doesn't want to be with a group of squinting and sneering people every day.

I thought about it for a while.

He got up and left the room, and went straight to Fangshi through the snow.

The streets are coldly greeted, and occasionally a few figures appear, but they are all in a hurry, with an attitude of not allowing strangers to enter.

Chen Lin didn't care, and soon came to the market.

He came to this small market in the shanty town of the outer city in the north, not the inner city.

Because of the abnormal heavy snow and the disappearance of the five major families during the foundation building period, the inner city has been under martial law, and it is a bit cumbersome to get in.

It is said to be Fangshi, but it is actually a simple small alley with some shops in it.

Before the snow fell, there would still be some casual cultivators setting up stalls outside, but now there was no one to be seen.

He came to the door of a shop with ease, pushed the door open and entered.

"Hey, isn't this Grand Talisman Master Chen, come to sell Dali Talisman again?"

A thin middle-aged man with a pockmarked face saw Chen Lin enter the room, he immediately squinted and sneered and made fun of him.

His attitude was not very enthusiastic, and he didn't even move his body from the chair.

Chen Lin would come here to sell Dali Talisman almost every once in a while, and he was very familiar with this shopkeeper.

As for the squinting and sneering, the evil charm and madness, he has completely ignored it and regarded it as a normal behavior.

Knowing the other party's bitter character, Chen Lin didn't care, and sneered with the same sideways eyes, then took out the fireball talisman and shook it in front of the other party's eyes, "Zhang Mazi, open your little eyes and see, didn't you say that I have practiced all my life? Can't make a first-order medium-grade talisman?"

"What, you actually succeeded!"

Seeing the Fireball Talisman, the other party jumped up from the chair.

He took the talisman with an expression of disbelief and observed it carefully for a while before placing it on the counter in surprise.

"Impossible, it's too unreasonable to be able to make a fireball talisman with your rubbish ghost-drawing talisman technique!"

Chen Lin pretended to be furious when he heard the words.

"What is rubbish technique? My talisman-making craft has a formal inheritance. How dare you call it rubbish? Do you accept it or not? If not, I can go to the Duobao Pavilion next door!"

"Shou Shou Shou, don't be angry, how could Duobao Pavilion have a higher price than I gave you?"

The shopkeeper squeezed out a smile and apologized again and again.

But as soon as he turned around, he squinted at Chen Lin and sneered, "Little casual cultivator dares to threaten the old man, you go to the next door and try one, I'll punch you out!"

Chen Lin kept telling himself that these were all patients, and asked under pressure, "How many spirit stones can you give?"

The shopkeeper didn't speak immediately, but took the talisman in his hand again and examined it carefully.

After a long while, he exclaimed in admiration: "I didn't expect that you not only refined the fireball talisman, but also reached a perfect appearance. Could it be that you are really a genius in making talismans?"

Chen Lin also knew that the talisman he refined was perfect. After all, it was a product made by Goldfinger, so he was looking forward to it.

If it is an ordinary fireball talisman, the purchase price is transparent, which is about seven or eight low-grade spirit stones.

"Why are you so wordy, hurry up and tell me how many spirit stones you can give?"

Chen Lin urged again.

The shopkeeper stopped going around in circles, thought for a while, and stretched out a finger.

"Ten spirit stones?"

Chen Lin frowned.

"That's right. Recently, due to the unfavorable situation, the price of talismans has increased. The purchase price of ordinary fireball talismans is around eight spirit stones. Your talisman looks good, and you are still a regular customer. I can give you ten yuan."

The shopkeeper nodded, squinting and sneering, as if I was taking care of you.

Chen Lin was a little dissatisfied.

Ten Lingshi, there is no profit at all.

After all, it can only be refined by innate ability now, and it can only succeed once out of ten times.

"Can you add more, I am not only refining this one, there will be many more in the future?"

Chen Lin looked at the shopkeeper's pockmarked face and began to bargain.

One extra piece is worth it, otherwise I don’t know when it will take to save up the cost of ten copies of the ingredients on the prescription.

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Zhang Mazi, who was always sour, didn't refuse directly, nor did he make any sarcasm.

There is a play!

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

Looking forward to it more and more.
