I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Chen Lin looked at Lao Dao with an inquiring expression, but his words made him feel unsure.

Shopkeeper Fu on the side looked relieved. Although he had taken the jade talisman several times, he had always been in a state of isolation and had not directly touched it, nor was he contaminated by the aura on it.

In fact, with the strength of his soul, if he had been eroded by the aura on the jade talisman, he would have been directly pulled into the nightmare world.

The old Taoist priest shook the fly whisk and said in a deep voice: "This jade talisman is the concentric jade of our Taoist sect. Hundreds of years ago, an ancient Taoist sect ruins were discovered in Tianfang Continent. Many Taoist items were produced, which attracted many monks to fight for them. , there is no problem with other items, but this concentric jade talisman later began to transform into a nightmare for some reason, and countless monks were pulled into the nightmare world, causing a big disaster."

After a pause, he continued: "This jade talisman was not brought out from the Nightmare Realm, and I don't know why it was transformed into a Nightmare Realm. Moreover, it is different from normal Nightmare Realm items. As long as it is contaminated with the aura above, even if it is not pulled in at the time, If you go into the nightmare world, you will be pulled in inexplicably in the future. There are no rules and no way to prevent it. After all, this thing belongs to my Taoist sect, so our Taoist sect is always looking for it to take it back to avoid uncontrollable consequences."

After hearing the old Taoist explanation, Chen Lin felt increasingly heavy in his heart.

He felt that if the other party didn't lie, then he was really in trouble. He didn't know whether the power of the golden soul could resist the pull of the jade talisman scene. If he couldn't resist, his life might be in danger.

"Taoist Priest, according to your investigation, have all the monks who were contaminated with the aura of this thing been pulled into the nightmare world? No one was spared, or did they come out alive after entering?"

"No!"

The old man answered simply.

Seeing that Chen Lin seemed suspicious, he added: "Anyway, no one who was detected by the old Taoist was spared, and the corpses were all mutated, and those who touched the mutated corpses were not spared, even if they had special defenses at the time. If you escape by means of it, you will be pulled into the nightmare world for an unfixed period of time in the future, where you will die and mutate."

Chen Lin frowned deeply.

If that were the case, it would really be a big problem.

However, he did not think that what the other party said was necessarily accurate. After all, the Taoist ruins appeared hundreds of years ago, and there was not only one jade talisman. It was impossible for anyone to know how many monks had come into contact with it during that period, so it could not be so absolute.

The old Taoist seemed to know what Chen Lin was thinking, and said again: "After the Dao Sect Ruins happened, all branches of our Dao Sect were mobilized. All the nightmare jade talismans have been found and sealed one after another. This is the last piece, so Please also tell Pindao the information about all the people who may come into contact with this jade talisman to avoid any accidents."

Chen Lin frowned slightly and said nothing.

Although the two Taoist priests, one old and one young, had helped him, he couldn't believe what the other party said. Whether the other party was indeed telling the truth or was he just being alarmist and having other agendas, he needed to know more about it. .

As for the people who had come into contact with the jade talisman, he and Xiaocao were the only ones here.

Although Fatty Han and others also took the jade talisman, they were in a sealed state and were not contaminated by the aura on it. After the death and alienation of the old cultivators, their bodies were handled by Xiaocao and no one else came into contact with them.

As a creature of the nightmare world, Xiaocao also has a contract with him that is recognized by the rules of the nightmare world. No matter how special the jade talisman scene is, it is unlikely that the other party will be dragged into the nightmare world as long as he is not willing.

So the only one in danger is himself.

And with the power of the golden soul close to him, he may not be unable to resist. Even if he is really pulled in, with his many methods, the possibility of surviving is very high.

The most important thing is Niuniu's amulet.

With this trump card, he has enough confidence, especially in the nightmare world, Niu Niu can definitely save his life.

Thoughts were rolling in Chen Lin's mind, and Shopkeeper Fu on the side said: "Taoist Master, I bought this jade talisman from me. I only kept it in our store for one day before trading it to Elder Chen. No one came into contact with the aura of the nightmare world on it. ."

After hearing this, the old Taoist turned his attention to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and then said: "Although I hired some old cultivators who had not long lived to explore, those people have already died, and their alienated corpses have been destroyed. Others have not touched the jade talisman." breath."

He didn't tell the truth. The other party was extremely powerful. If he was killed directly in order to nip the danger in the bud, he wouldn't be able to resist it.

The old Taoist's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said: "That's the best thing to say. Then I will put away this jade talisman first. As compensation, the old Taoist has a Void Chong Pill here, so I will give it to Donor Chen."

Just when Chen Lin was about to refuse, he saw the old Taoist take out a pill bottle and said: "This pill is a treasure of our Taoist sect. It can allow Donor Chen to break through the current bottleneck without any side effects."

Chen Lin immediately swallowed back his words of rejection.

With the strength of the other party, it is not surprising that he is stuck in the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul. And if the other party takes out this elixir in public, it should be true. Something so precious and of great use to him, no matter what, do not miss it.

He stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for giving me the elixir. If there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to contact me at any time."

After that, he took out two communication charms and handed them to the other party.

With the opponent's methods, it is easy to find him, so it is better to be more proactive.

Chen Lin also knew that it was impossible for the old Taoist to believe his words easily. He would definitely find the one on his head again, or secretly investigate and confirm, or even directly search for the soul.

So after leaving here, he decided to hide in Yingyue Palace or the Jing Clan, and leave directly with the Jing Clan's team when the time comes.

"Easy to say."

The old Taoist casually took the communication talisman in his hand and said: "In that case, I won't bother you. This jade talisman still needs some special means to seal it, and then send it back to the Taoist gate. See you later!"

After saying that, he asked the little Taoist priest to leave.

However, the little Taoist priest did not move. Instead, he stared at Chen Lin and said, "Master, he lied. He has the aura of the jade talisman on his body. He must have touched the jade talisman personally!"

Chen Lin suddenly looked embarrassed.

The lie was exposed in person, even though he was extremely thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it.

What worries him even more is that the old Taoist priest will fall out on the spot.

But to his surprise, the old Taoist priest just glanced at him without saying anything, and pulled the young Taoist priest away.

Chen Lin's expression suddenly changed. He didn't know what kind of medicine the old Taoist priest was selling in his gourd.

Do you not want to take action here and have some scruples, or do you have no intention of dealing with people who come into contact with the jade talisman?

Or maybe the opponent is not as strong as imagined, and you feel you can't take him down, so you can only leave?

"Elder Chen, this old Taoist god is mysterious, and what he says may not be accurate. I think he is just making alarmist remarks to take away the jade talisman."

Shopkeeper Fu's voice sounded, with a heavy look of suspicion on his face.

Chen Lin also had such a guess, otherwise he would not be able to explain the reaction of the old man. However, he originally wanted to give the jade talisman to the other party as a return favor. If this was the case, it would be the best situation.

After exchanging a few words with Shopkeeper Fu, and seeing that the other person inadvertently revealed his wariness towards him, he left the shop with a heavy heart and returned to his residence.

Since the young Taoist priest had exposed his lies and the old Taoist had not turned against him, there was no need for him to hide away. He could just wait at his residence.

And there is no place to hide.

Not to mention the two Taoist priests, even the shopkeeper of Tianbao Pavilion couldn't hide his affairs. He had to report it as soon as he left. It is estimated that Yingyue Palace already knew the situation.

A person who may be pulled into the nightmare world at any time is a time bomb and will be rejected wherever he goes.

Yingyue Palace can't do it, and neither can the Jing Clan.

And if this matter is not resolved, let alone avoiding it, once the Jing Clan knows the situation, they may not take him to Tianfang Continent.

After a trip to Tianbao Pavilion, Chen Lin was speechless to find such a trouble.

In order not to offend Yingyue Palace, he simply went into seclusion and had no contact with the outside world.

Several days passed, but the old Taoist priest did not come to the door, making Chen Lin more suspicious.

Since the other party claimed to take back the jade talisman and eliminate the disastrous consequences of the Taoist ruins, there was no reason not to come to him.

That's exactly what Shopkeeper Fu said. The other party was trying to be mysterious just to get the jade talisman.

Although this was the best result, he still had no confidence in his heart and was not in the mood to practice, so he thought hard about countermeasures.

In the end, he simply decided to take the initiative and asked Fatty Han and others to find the old man and make sure the matter was clear.

If what the other person says is true, there is no point in avoiding it.

I wanted to hide before because I was afraid that the other party would just eliminate him as a hidden danger without asking any questions. But since the other party didn't do that, we can have an in-depth communication and find a solution.

But what puzzled Chen Lin was that the two Taoist priests actually disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard they looked!
