Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World - Chapter 31: Leaving

Chen Lin placed the talisman in front of him and repeatedly examined it, but still couldn’t guess its effects.

After a while, he put it aside.

He had completed his task.

Not knowing its effects was even better; even if Yu Yuehai discovered it, he had an excuse – “This is what your woman asked me to refine, I didn’t dare to disagree, and I didn’t know what it was.”

Thinking this, he felt a bit relieved and took out the storage bag he had been eyeing for a long time.

Ye Jingyun had already said that as long as he refined the talisman, this item would be his, and he naturally couldn’t be polite.

The storage bag was a rare commodity in Kaiyuan City, with a high price and no market; it was like a pill, with no one willing to sell it.

Because refining this item required a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a certain understanding of spatial techniques, only the five major families could refine it.

He didn’t expect to obtain it so easily.

With the storage bag, he could carry many items with him, without worrying about losing them.

There was no spiritual imprint on the storage bag, and Chen Lin used his newly learned secret technique to easily imprint his own spiritual mark, establishing a mysterious connection with it.

Using his spiritual energy, he sensed a small, grayish space, about one cubic meter in size, empty and quiet.

Although it was small, it was enough.

Chen Lin didn’t feel dissatisfied, but instead followed the instructions for using the storage bag. He used his spiritual energy to cover a talisman on the table, and with a thought, the paper disappeared.

He shifted his perception back to the storage bag, and indeed, the talisman paper was quietly lying in the corner.

With another thought, the paper changed positions.

Interesting!

Chen Lin nodded, the usage method of this item was quite simple.

Next, he put all the items that could be stored into the storage bag, and then hung it at his waist.

Immediately, he felt that this was too conspicuous, so he took it off, opened his robe, found a sturdy rope, and tied it around his waist.

He pulled it tight, making sure it was secure, before putting his robe back on.

Satisfied, he looked around, feeling that he didn’t need to worry about being targeted.

After doing all this, he stood by the window, looking towards Yu Yuehai’s residence, but didn’t see Ye Jingyun come out.

Perhaps the other party didn’t think he would refine the talisman so quickly, but he couldn’t deliver it, since the other party had already warned him not to let Yu Yuehai know.

He waited for a while, but still didn’t see the other party appear, so he began to continue practicing the Golden Armor technique.

The sky gradually darkened.

After dinner, Chen Lin couldn’t bear his own limited capacity, and began to refine the Enlightenment Pill again.

Just as he started the furnace, he felt a strong energy wave outside, and the door opened by itself, with Yu Yuehai’s figure slowly walking in.

Chen Lin felt a powerful, ocean-like force emanating from the other party’s body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He was initially shocked, then quickly stood up, looking at the other party with a complex gaze.

Just the residual spiritual energy emanating from the other party was enough to suppress him, and there was only one explanation – the other party had successfully reached Foundation Establishment!

The Blood Demon Pill was indeed legendary!

“Congratulations, Senior Yu, on your Foundation Establishment success!”

Chen Lin quickly paid his respects and congratulated the other party.

Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining were no longer on the same level; cultivators respected each other based on their strength, regardless of age, and when meeting someone who had surpassed them by a major realm, they had to address them as “Senior”.

“Uh-huh.”

Yu Yuehai’s face showed no expression, only nodding, and then scanning his room with his gaze.

At this time, Ye Jingyun’s figure also appeared at the door, and Chen Lin noticed that the other party’s face seemed to be tense, although they tried to hide it, but he could still sense some clues.

However, when Yu Yuehai saw the scene inside the room, he immediately relaxed and gave Chen Lin a praising gaze.

This change left Chen Lin somewhat bewildered, and a thought arose in his mind, but he felt it was impossible.

At this time, Yu Yuehai, who had walked to the iron cauldron, suddenly spoke up, “Although there’s the Black Essence Gu, this improved Enlightenment Pill should be used sparingly. The Black Essence Gu isn’t a real antidote, it’s just a pain reliever, and long-term use will cause irreversible damage to your spiritual sea.”

Chen Lin was taken aback.

He never expected Yu Yuehai to care about him.

But he quickly nodded, “Thank you, Senior, for your concern. I’ll be careful.”

Yu Yuehai seemed very satisfied with Chen Lin’s attitude and lightly nodded his head, “Get ready, we’ll leave when the time is right.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jingyun immediately spoke up from behind, “Brother, why don’t we leave now? The longer we stay, the more danger we’ll face.”

Yu Yuehai laughed upon hearing this.

“After being stuck in this place for so many years, how can I leave empty-handed?”

After saying this, he took out a bottle and tossed it to Chen Lin, “This is a Blood Qi Pill refined from my own essence. Take one every ten days to nourish the Black Essence Gu. But don’t worry, if this trip goes smoothly, you only need to do one more thing for me, and I’ll let you go!”

After saying this, he turned to leave.

He took two steps, then turned back and tossed a small bottle to Chen Lin.

“This is Clear Spirit Water. Apply it to your eyes, and you’ll be able to see the red threads for a short time. Use it sparingly, I don’t have much left.”

This time, he really left.

Ye Jingyun followed closely behind, but before leaving, she gave Chen Lin an inquiring gaze.

Chen Lin lightly nodded, and Ye Jingyun’s face lit up with surprise, before she followed Yu Yuehai without looking back.

This scene left Chen Lin even more puzzled, unsure what Ye Jingyun was planning.

He thought about it for a while, but couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to ignore it.

However, one thing did put his mind at ease – Yu Yuehai’s promise to let him go after doing one more thing.

Of course, he wasn’t naive enough to believe that Yu Yuehai would really let him go, but since Yu Yuehai still needed him, he wouldn’t kill him or abandon him for now.

He was safe for the time being.

After thinking for a while, he continued to refine the Enlightenment Pill, and after obtaining it, he immediately took it and began to comprehend the Golden Armor technique.

Even though Yu Yuehai had warned him, he wasn’t ready to give up on the Enlightenment Pill yet.

After using the Enlightenment Pill, he finally comprehended the Golden Armor technique and reached a proficient level.

He operated his spiritual energy, formed a hand seal, and a faint light shield enveloped him.

Using the Object Manipulation Technique, he tested his defense with a flying sword, and it was decent.

Although he couldn’t completely block the flying sword, he could deflect most of its power, slowing it down and giving him time to dodge.

As his proficiency increased, his defense would improve further.

At this time, the copper bell in the corner of the wall rang, and he immediately stopped his technique practice and walked to the window.

He pushed open the window and gazed at the starry sky, it was still quiet and peaceful.

The subtle energy flow in his body appeared, and it seemed faster than before.

He took out the small bottle containing the Clear Spirit Water and dripped one drop into each eye.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, and suddenly, the red threads covering the sky entered his vision!
