Chapter 190 Retreat
It took a full month for Chen Lin to refine the spirit of Thunder Apricot into his body.
This is just the first step. Next, you need to use the method of Golden Fire Generating Thunder to devour, fuse, and turn the spiritual objects into your own use bit by bit.
This is a work in progress, so there is no rush.
You only need to fuse it before breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building. Then you can use the pseudo-spiritual roots tempered by the tribulation.
Time passed little by little.
The expected big change did not happen, and Chen Lin became more and more leisurely.
The resources of the alliance have been depleted to a certain extent. There are not even enough talismans left to refine the demon-suppressing talisman. It takes him half a day to go to work every other day.
He was even a little worried that if he continued like this, he would be kicked back to the demon hunting team.
But what he was worried about did not appear. Instead, he got good news.
The alliance finally decided to retreat, breaking out to the far sea of Wuding Sea and heading to the main continent.
The order was personally issued by the deacon elders Hai Mingyue and Li Xuanming. The monks in Danding City will be divided into several teams to avoid being caught all at once.
However, the specific plan to break out of the encirclement is kept secret. Which team will go from which direction has already been planned. Monks like Chen Lin in the early stage of foundation building only need to obey the deployment.
As soon as the news came out, people in the city were in shock. Every monk tried his best to cling to a relationship and wanted to keep up with a powerful team.
Although the alliance has long stipulated that once retreating, protection levels will be assigned based on merit levels, but human nature is indispensable at all times. Merit levels are only conditions on the surface, and there are many conditions secretly.
For example, his nominal disciple He Yuqing was called back as soon as the news of the retreat came out. He will obviously follow the He family's team, but his master does not have this treatment.
"Master, why don't you lend some connections and follow our team from the Neptune Sect? I just got the news that our Neptune Sect has a temporary station on an island in the far sea, and has already built a large ship to cross the sea. There, the ships of other forces are not as big as ours.”
Chen Lin has always been kind to He Yuqing, so this girl reciprocated the favor and provided Chen Lin with a piece of information.
But she could only provide information. A branch of the He family who was on the fourth level of Qi training did not have the qualifications to bring outsiders into the Neptune Sect's team.
"Okay, I get it. You should be smarter yourself and don't be reckless. I won't be able to use these things anymore. Just hold them for self-defense!"
Chen Lin took out a storage bag and handed it to the other party. There were some elixirs and talismans in it, as well as a high-grade flying sword and the snake shame he used before. These things had long been of no use to him, and he never thought of dealing with them. It happened to be Defend this nominal apprentice.
"Thank you, Master, take care of yourself!"
He Yuqing was not pretentious. After taking the storage bag, he kowtowed to Chen Lin three times and then left the Munitions Department.
Old man...
Chen Lin couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
Yes, if you do the math, it has been seventeen or eighteen years since the time traveled. The original owner was in his forties, and he is now a sixty-year-old man.
In the previous life, at this age, one should retire and enjoy old age, plant flowers and birds, tease grandchildren, and enjoy family happiness.
But now, we have to run for our lives and make every attempt to survive.
Immortal cultivators may seem happy, but in fact they may not be as happy as ordinary people!
After sighing for a while, Chen Lin calmed down.
Now that he has embarked on this road, there is no reason to retreat. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he has to break out of a fairy road and overcome the thorns. Isn't it a joy!
He Yuqing's words reminded Chen Lin that his current merit level is not low, but waiting for the alliance's arrangements is not a good idea.
On the surface, the alliance will deploy a unified retreat plan, but in fact, the alliance is just a loose organization. Each major force must have its own little ninety-nine, who will put their core personnel on a safe route, and those who do not Important ones will become cannon fodder that attracts enemy firepower.
He has no roots and no status. He will definitely not be able to join the core team based on merit alone.
After thinking about it in his mind, Chen Lin decided to try Zhao Qiankun.
Although he wasn't too familiar with this person, he was generous and generous, and he was an elder of the Neptune Sect. He might be able to rely on his relationship.
But what disappointed Chen Lin was that Zhao Qiankun was not at the station. It was said that he had gone on a mission and had not returned yet.
Not only was the other party not here, but even the Yunhai people were not here either, saying they were on a mission.
Chen Lin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Immediately afterwards, he went to visit some important figures. These people were the core personnel of the major sects. He actually did not know them, but just wanted to confirm some guesses.
The information he received made his face even uglier.
None of these people are here, they all said they were on a mission.
There is no such coincidence in this world. On the eve of the evacuation, all the important people with high status formed a group to go out to do the mission. It was too fake! Chen Lin suspected that these people might have taken a step ahead and left through special channels in advance. If this was the case, all the people they left in Danding City would be cannon fodder to attract the attention of the Qishen Sect!
This speculation made him feel on pins and needles. He felt that he had to do something. After thinking about it, he walked towards Qian Li's residence.
The speed of the alliance was very fast, and the order to allocate teams was issued the next day. According to the level of meritorious service, Chen Lin was assigned to the first echelon of the evacuation team, led by a real Jindan.
Although he is in the first echelon, Chen Lin is not happy.
He has secretly investigated and found that there are more than 3,000 people in their evacuation team, dozens of foundation-building monks, and the rest are in the Qi training period. Such a huge target is too big. .
Even if there is a golden elixir monk leading the team, this real person Pang is not very strong, not to mention the early stage of the golden elixir, and it is said that he has lived for more than 400 years, and there is not much life left.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like the core of your team. Instead, it looks like it was deliberately set up to block the gun.
Chen Lin was unsure and did not report directly. Instead, he found Qian Li again.
"How is it? Which team have you been assigned to? Have you contacted other foundation-building monks?"
The two met at Qian Li's residence. Chen Lin first talked about his situation and Make a guess and then ask the person.
Qian Li smiled bitterly and said: "I was assigned to a team in the second echelon. The team was led by a veteran cultivator with Perfect Foundation Establishment. He is also the kind who is about to reach his longevity. It seems that you said That's right, we are probably all cannon fodder, and the real core personnel have already withdrawn!"
Chen Lin nodded and said solemnly: "If In this way, I'm afraid we won't be able to report that these old cultivators who are nearing their end of life must have reached an agreement with the alliance and exchanged their lives for the safety of their family members. They will definitely carry out the alliance's orders loyally, just like me. As long as the foundation-building monks sign up, they will be detained and used as the main force, and it will be impossible to leave alone."
Qian Li agreed: "I think so too. Yesterday, I contacted several foundation-building monks I usually have good friends with. Everyone also felt that the situation was abnormal and wanted to separate from the large army and act alone, and some people have already organized it."
"Oh?" Chen Lin was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Who is this organizer? Is it reliable?"
Although he wanted to find some companions to act together, it would be safer. But it also needs to be more reliable.
“Ahem.” Qian Li coughed slightly, seeming a little embarrassed, and then whispered: “Young Taoist Lin must also know this person.”
“I know him, who is that? ?" Chen Lin looked at the other party suspiciously and urged: "What time is it? You still have time to play riddles. Maybe the order to leave will come soon."
Qian Li straightened his expression and said, "The organizer is Mrs. Bones!"
"Who?"
Chen Lin was very surprised now.
It’s not that there is any discrimination against Madam Bones, but because of her identity and status, there is no reason why she should not be among the core staff!
Suddenly, he remembered something, looked at Qian Li suspiciously, looked at him for a while and said: "I said you are not surrendering to Mrs. Bones' pomegranate skirt, are you?"
Qian Li's face turned red, but he immediately stiffened his neck and said, "What is surrender? That is dual cultivation!"
Chen Lin rolled his eyes, and sure enough, this guy had been captured by Madam Bones, and he couldn't bear it He kept complaining: "One-on-one is called double cultivation, and ten-on-one is called face-shou. But didn't you say that you caused trouble because of Fairy Zixia's incident? How can I satisfy Madam White Bones?”
“Get out!” Qian Li cursed and said, “It’s not because of you. If you hadn’t asked me to contact other people, how would I have done it? If you meet Mrs. Bones, you won’t be captured!”
Chen Lin opened his mouth and was speechless.
He immediately changed the subject and said: "So, you have decided to join Madam Bones' team. How many people are there in total?"
Qian Li no longer hesitated. This matter was not entirely forced by Madam Bones. He himself was half-hearted.
The other party's method was wonderful, and he easily regained his manhood, and the process was so wonderful that he is still recalling it. Now he is not willing to let Madam Bones drive him away.
He nodded and said: "Under the current situation, I naturally have to follow Madam White Bones. In addition to a few faces of Madam White Bones, the team has also summoned some foundation-building monks, about ten or so. , there will be no more than thirty people in total."
At this point, he glanced at Chen Lin and said, "What do you plan to do? Make a decision quickly. Mrs. Bones will leave tonight. If you want to join, Just hurry up, she will definitely agree with my introduction. In addition, I also want to remind you that the city gate is now closed and there is no pass token. It is impossible for you to leave alone. Either join us or follow the large army. You have to think about it carefully.”
Chen Lin frowned and said suddenly after a long time: “Mrs. Bones is so magical that she gave you up just once?”
He was really curious about this woman in his heart. Her method of taming men was so powerful that he felt that as long as a man got close to her, he would give in to her.
And the other party coveted him very much!
Qian Li was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said angrily: "Why, you want to try it too? But I tell you, it's really magical. The taste is guaranteed to make you want to stop after you taste it. , and if you want to try it, don’t consider me. She and I are not Taoists, so we won’t be jealous.”
Chen. Lin stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "You are indeed my good brother."
Immediately he shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I can't do it anymore. The skills I practice cannot approach women. Otherwise, with my capital, which women don’t have, I have to think about this matter and give you an answer before tonight.”
After saying that, he stood up and left.
