Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 33: Six Ding Profound Armor Talisman

Under Chen Lin's gaze, Xu Ruolan took out a jade slip with a pained expression.

"This is a sword manual, my family heirloom passed down through generations. Daoist Chen, please take it!"

After saying this, she handed the jade slip to Chen Lin, her thin hands trembling slightly, as if she was extremely reluctant to part with it.

This made Chen Lin feel a bit embarrassed, as if he was a robber taking advantage of her.

Embarrassed or not, he still took the thing.

The sword manual was a great treasure, and he had long wanted to get his hands on it. Unfortunately, it was impossible to find one in the market.

Without hesitation, he took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead to examine it.

After a moment, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Good, although it's a bit unusual, it's indeed a sword manual. This pill is yours, Daoist Xu."

Xu Ruolan glanced at the pill bottle in Chen Lin's hand, her eyes flashing with a hint of resentment, but she didn't say anything and turned to leave.

Chen Lin didn't mind.

In the future, they would go their separate ways, and it was unlikely they would meet again.

If the other party didn't have any extraordinary abilities, they would surely die at the hands of a monster. No matter how many good things they had, it would be a waste.

After Xu Ruolan left, Chen Lin put the jade slip away and quickly departed.

Xu Ruolan turned left and right, proceeding with caution, when a masked woman suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I've seen the senior, I've already given him the thing."

When she saw the woman, Xu Ruolan hurriedly saluted and reported.

"Good, you've done well. This is a token, take it and go to the Han family to seek refuge. They will give you a chance to leave."

The masked woman handed Xu Ruolan a red token.

"Thank you, senior. I'm deeply grateful. If we meet again in the future, I'll definitely repay your kindness!"

Xu Ruolan was overjoyed, her body trembling with excitement. She bowed deeply to the woman.

However, when she raised her head, the woman had already disappeared.

She felt a bit disappointed, but quickly grasped the red token tightly and looked at the cracked jade talisman on her chest. Then, she rushed towards the direction of the Han family's residence.

When he returned to the courtyard, Chen Lin knocked on Zhao Zhengyuan's door, but the other party had not returned.

Originally, he wanted to visit the yellow-faced female cultivator's room, but he didn't take action.

As soon as he thought of the scene where she was brutally killed, his heart felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was this incident that kept reminding him that no matter how kind Yu Yuehai acted, he could not hide his murderous nature.

If he believed him, it would be like asking a tiger to keep his skin intact.

This was also why he was trying to curry favor with Ye Jingyun. Compared to Yu Yuehai, this woman was relatively kind.

Back in his room, Chen Lin once again carefully recalled Ye Jingyun's expression when they spoke. He felt that she was trying to convey something, but it was shrouded in mystery, and he couldn't understand.

In the end, he could only temporarily set aside this doubt and start refining the Thunderbolt Bead.

Three days passed in a flash.

Chen Lin had been staying in his room and did not venture out. Yu Yuehai had come to visit him once, but didn't say anything, only giving him three talismans and a storage bag.

The three talismans were a transmission talisman, an escape talisman, and a defensive talisman called the Six Ding Profound Armor talisman.

All of them were used to protect his life.

The transmission talisman and escape talisman were still acceptable, although they were expensive, they belonged to the category of first-level talismans.

But the Six Ding Profound Armor talisman was actually a second-level talisman, which even with the right materials and method, he couldn't create.

In theory, he shouldn't be able to use it.

A second-level talisman required a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to activate it.

However, this talisman was a passive-type talisman, which would automatically activate when faced with a strong danger, forming an energy shield to cover his entire body. As a result, there was no limitation on its use.

According to Yu Yuehai, the defense formed by this talisman could withstand a casual blow from a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Such a talisman was incredibly valuable, and Yu Yuehai had invested heavily in him.

It was likely that Yu Yuehai had obtained many good things in the past few days, which was why he was so generous.

Of course, this also meant that Yu Yuehai genuinely didn't want him to die and still had use for him.

Chen Lin put away the transmission talisman and escape talisman, and carefully placed the Six Ding Profound Armor talisman in a special container and used a rope to hang it on his chest. This way, it could be activated at any time.

After handling these items, he picked up the storage bag given to him by Yu Yuehai.

He had never dared to dream of having even one storage bag, but now he had two. It was indeed good to have a powerful backing.

He finally experienced the richness of being a member of a large clan, no wonder Lu Li was willing to offer 50 middle-grade spirit stones as a reward for the Soul-Restraining Talisman.

However, this solved one of his problems.

Previously, he didn't dare to reveal the storage bag given to him by Ye Jingyun, because he didn't know if Ye Jingyun had told Yu Yuehai about it. As a result, he had to use it secretly.

Now, he could finally use it openly.

He hung the two storage bags inside his clothes, one on each side.

He put all his materials in the storage bag given to him by Yu Yuehai, and used the other one to store the Thunderbolt Bead, so he wouldn't have to use his spiritual power to distinguish them.

After arranging everything, he once again picked up the Six Ding Profound Armor talisman hanging on his chest and carefully studied the differences between a second-level talisman and a first-level talisman.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't figure it out, except that the talisman patterns on the surface were more mysterious.

Actually, the talisman Ye Jingyun had asked him to create was even more advanced. Chen Lin suspected that it was also a second-level talisman, and might even be more advanced than the Six Ding Profound Armor talisman.

In theory, even with his talent, he shouldn't have been able to create it, since his cultivation level was insufficient and didn't meet the requirements of the talisman.

But he had succeeded.

Upon reflection, it was likely due to the Cold Abyss Flame.

This strange fire not only could replace the true fire of a Foundation Establishment cultivator but also, because of its spiritual properties, could reduce the requirements for the purity and intensity of the spiritual power needed to create the talisman.

It was likely that Ye Jingyun had specifically modified the creation method for him, reducing the requirements from Foundation Establishment Stage to mid-Qi Refining Stage.

Otherwise, it was unheard of to use strange fire to create talismans.

The strange fire was certainly an extremely high-level material, and using it to create talismans was a waste of its potential.

After thinking for a while, Chen Lin collected his thoughts and picked up the technique manual to study.

Now that he had done everything he could, and couldn't go out, he could only research techniques and wait for Yu Yuehai's news.

There were only three techniques left to learn in the manual: the Purification Technique, the Fireball Technique, and the Shocking Technique.

Previously, he had focused on learning the urgent techniques, and now he had nothing to do, so he could finally learn them all.

Another day passed.

With the help of two Enlightenment Pills, he mastered all three techniques.

Now, he was a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator who knew six techniques.

He went to the courtyard, practiced the techniques for a while, and felt very satisfied. Suddenly, he felt a stabbing pain in his dantian, and his body began to convulse.

Chen Lin was shocked, and then he thought of something. He quickly took out a small bottle from his storage bag and opened it to reveal a red-brown pill.

It was the Blood Qi Pill.
