I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

When Chen Lin heard the price quoted by the other party, his face suddenly darkened.

Fifty spiritual crystals are equivalent to one spiritual treasure. What are the benefits of joining this so-called Alliance of All Realms? How dare you open your mouth like this.

What's more, the fee is not a one-time fee. You have to pay an additional spiritual crystal every year. It doesn't seem like much, but when you reach the level of Nascent Soul cultivation, a retreat or a long trip will cost tens to hundreds of years, and it doesn't add up to a lot. small amount.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xu really dares to speak. He is shy in his pocket and cannot bring out so many spiritual crystals, so he can only live up to Fellow Daoist's kindness."

Chen Lin shook his head and gave up his plan to join this Alliance of Ten Thousand Realms.

Originally, he had many scruples. If he didn't want money, he could still consider it. If he wanted money, forget it.

"Do you think it's expensive, fellow Taoist? But you have to know that since I want this price, it's definitely worth it."

Xu Zihan explained.

Then he continued: "Not to mention anything else, the nightmare scene corresponding to this egg is extremely valuable. Such safe scenes are very rare, but this scene is not only safe, but after completing tasks that comply with the rules, it is also You can get unexpected treasures, and the value of this scene alone is actually more than just these fifty spiritual crystals!"

"in addition."

Xu Zihan continued to persuade, "We have a lot of members in the Ten Thousand Realms Alliance, and they come from different interfaces. The exchange of information between them can open the eyes of fellow Taoists and benefit a lot, not to mention the members' exploration information on the Nightmare Realm. It is definitely a wise choice for Taoist friends to join us.”

"Really, according to fellow Taoist, it is indeed worth the price. Unfortunately, I don't have enough financial resources, so let's forget it and say goodbye!"

Chen Lin didn't want to talk to the other party anymore, so he left the store after saying something.

The more outrageous what the other party said, the more suspicious he became.

Not only did he suspect that the other party wanted to defraud him of a fortune in spiritual crystals, he also suspected that he had other plots, so even though he was very interested in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Realms, he still chose to give up.

There is no absolute safety in the nightmare world, and the other party's words must be watery. Using fifty spiritual crystals to buy an uncertain and dangerous membership, he is not rich enough to do so.

After leaving, Chen Lin stopped thinking about it and started collecting alchemy materials.

After this period of consumption, his elixir has reached the bottom and he needs to refine a new batch.

One month later.

Chen Lin left Xiaoyun City and rushed to his next destination, Shayu City.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, is this gorge really as dangerous as the legend says recently?"

Chen Lin sat on the spirit boat and talked with an old man with white eyebrows. In order to prevent others from being affected, he used sound transmission.

This is not his spirit boat, but a trading company's. He is just a guard hired by the trading company.

This trading firm is called Yuanguang Trading Firm. It is quite large and has businesses in surrounding cities.

But this time it was not goods, but people.

A pair of twin brothers and sisters, both with only foundation building skills, are said to be the children of a certain worshiper in the trading company. Something happened to the worshiper, and the trading company wanted to send the brother and sister to Shayu City to receive the family property.

Originally, with the strength of Yuanguang Trading Company, it was easy to send two people off, and there was no need to hire external guards at all. However, recently, on the only way to Shayu City, an unknown danger appeared in a location called Yixianxia. Many monks who came and went were inexplicably confused. Missing, and this worship also has some enemies, so for the sake of safety, such a guard team was formed.

Upon hearing Chen Lin's inquiry, the white-browed old man looked serious and spoke through the same voice.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is right. The Xianxian Gorge has been very unstable recently. The Xu family's caravan in the city was completely wiped out two days ago, and no one escaped."

"oh?"

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "How many people are there in the Xu family's caravan, and what is their highest level of cultivation? Does Fellow Daoist Hu know?"

Although he has a certain degree of confidence in his own strength and is pretending to be a Jindan monk at the moment, he still needs to know as much as possible about such a dangerous place.

The old man with white eyebrows glanced in the direction of Xianxian Gorge and said: "Although the Xu Family Trading Company is not big, it is said that this time it also paid a high price to hire a True Monarch from the early stage of Nascent Soul to be in charge, and the trading company even dispatched five golden elixir stage worshipers. , but they all disappeared in the Xianxia Gorge, no one alive, no corpses dead."

Chen Lin frowned.

The configuration of their team is led by a monk in the early stage of Yuanying. With him, there are also five golden elixirs.

Although this is just a coincidence, it still feels uncomfortable.

"Does Fellow Daoist Hu know that there are cases where high-level monks have died in Xianxian Gorge?"

Chen Lin decided that if there was a precedent for Yuanying's late fall, he would return directly to Xiaoyun City and would rather pay some liquidated damages than take risks.

In any case, it would not be possible for him to go to Hongshan Continent overnight, and a delay of a few days would not have much impact.

The white-browed old man shook his head.

"That's not true. The highest level of cultivation is at the early stage of Nascent Soul. Higher-level monks seem not to be affected."

After a pause, he continued: "It is precisely because of this situation that everyone suspects that there are evil cultivators there who are killing people and grabbing treasures. If they are monsters or evil things, they will not let others take care of them."

Chen Lin nodded.

He also suspected that this was the case, but if he only dared to attack monks below the early stage of Nascent Soul, the danger to him would not be great.

"Don't the strong men of Xiaoyun City and Shayu City care about such things?"

Chen Lin asked again.

Although the monks were selfish, the city controllers had to deal with such a bad incident that obviously affected the exchanges between the two cities.

The white-browed old man glanced at Chen Lin and said with confusion: "Young Daoist Chen seems to be really indifferent to worldly affairs. The demons in Zhongting Mountain are rioting, and the strong men from the surrounding forces have suppressed them. How can you have time to care about such a trivial matter? If it weren't for this, and with the courage of those evil cultivators, they wouldn't have dared to do such murderous and looting things in Xianxia Gorge, and Yuanguang Trading Company wouldn't have to hire us as guards."

Chen Lin looked surprised.

He had also heard about the demon riot in Zhongting Mountain. It was said that the situation was very bad. Once it could not be suppressed, the surrounding sect forces tens of thousands of miles away would be greatly affected.

Demons, the kind of creatures formed by evil aura, are very common in the Star North Realm, but not many in the Star South Realm.

This kind of evil beast usually does not leave the evil place, and rarely appears during the day, but there are no absolutes. This time, the evil beast in Zhongting Mountain showed signs of leaving the evil place, and was extremely manic.

After going through the evil beast thing in his mind, Chen Lin was about to ask again when he felt Lingzhou pause and stop.

"Fellow Taoists, there is a line of gorge ahead. It has not been peaceful there recently. Please keep your spirits up and don't be careless."

A middle-aged man walked from the front of the spirit boat to the middle and hugged Chen Lin and others.

Chen Lin glanced at the other party and nodded along with everyone else.

This person is from Yuanguang Trading Company, and seems to be somewhat related to the brother and sister, so he is in charge.

After the other party greeted several of their Jindan monks, he walked up to an ugly old man.

He said respectfully: "Zhenjun, please forgive me."

"Um."

The ugly old man hummed lightly without saying anything else.

The middle-aged man did not dare to say anything more and bowed back.

Then, he glanced at the steep mountain peaks ahead, and said loudly to Chen Lin and others: "Dear fellow Taoists, the Zhang family brothers and sisters promise that as long as they arrive safely at Shayu City, in addition to the reward promised by the trading company, each person will pay an additional two yuan. Spirit crystal!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Linbian found that the white-browed old man's three golden elixirs' eyes lit up, and the expression that originally wanted to shrink away disappeared.

He glanced at the two brothers and sisters sitting side by side in the middle of the spirit boat and nodded secretly.

Two pieces of spiritual crystal are also a huge amount of wealth for Jindan monks. It is impressive that these two people can give them up.

With such courage, if he can survive, he may become a figure in the future.

With the huge reward as an incentive, no one showed any signs of shrinking back. The spirit boat restarted, and not long after, it reached the front of a canyon.

Everyone stood up, including the ugly old man in the Nascent Soul stage, standing on the bow of the boat and looking into the depths of the canyon.

Chen Lin glanced at the canyon and then at the mountains on both sides.

This mountain range is called the Luoling Mountains. There is a special kind of ore in all mountains. Affected by the energy in the ore, it is difficult for monks to use magic power in the mountains.

The higher up the mountain, the more serious this situation becomes, and almost no mana at the top can be used.

This makes it more dangerous to climb over the mountains from the top of the mountain. After all, it is rare for his soul power to exceed his magic power. Most monks mainly use magic power. If they cannot use magic power, they almost become ordinary people.

"Fellow Taoists, we are about to enter the canyon now. Be prepared for battle, but remember that our first priority is to protect the safety of the Zhang family brothers and sisters. Once in danger, don't be tempted to fight, focus on escape!"

The middle-aged man in charge spoke in a deep voice.

Then he took the Zhang brothers and sisters with him, opened the shield of the spirit boat, and rushed into the canyon like a stream of light.

Although the first-line gorge is dangerous, it is not too far away. If the spirit boat moves forward at full speed, it can cross it in about a quarter of an hour.

Everyone on the spirit boat looked solemn. Chen Lin and four other golden elixir monks were stationed at different locations, alerting themselves to abnormal situations.

The ugly Nascent Soul monk sat in the middle, and the head of the trading company stood beside him with his two brothers and sisters.

Time passed little by little.

The spirit boat shuttled quickly through the canyon, and no abnormalities appeared until it was halfway through the canyon. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that they were lucky and were not targeted by those evil cultivators. It is also possible that the evil cultivators sensed the aura of the Nascent Soul monks and were not sure about the strength of the monks on the spirit boat, so they did not dare to take action.

From a distance, the exit was already in sight. Everyone's hearts relaxed and smiles appeared on their faces.

Chen Lin, who was standing on the side of the spirit boat, suddenly flashed his eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Be careful!"

Then, I saw a huge object falling from the sky, the speed was beyond imagination, and before others could react, it crashed onto the spirit boat!
