Chapter 650: A Line of Gorge
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 speak 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 dozens or hundreds of years. , which adds up to not a small number.
"Haha, fellow Taoist Xu really dares to speak. He is shy in his lower pocket and cannot bring out so many spiritual crystals, so he can only live up to fellow Taoist'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 is expensive, fellow Taoist, but you have to know that since I want this price, it is 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 also completes the fit inside. After completing the regular tasks, you can also get unexpected treasures. 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 Talking about the members’ exploration of the nightmare world, Taoist friends joined in, absolutely Yes, it is a wise choice.”
“Yes, according to fellow Taoist, it is indeed worth the price. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough financial resources, so forget it and say goodbye!”
Chen Lin! I didn't want to talk to the other party anymore, so I just left the store after saying something.
The more outrageous the other party said, the more suspicious he became.
Not only did he suspect that the other party wanted to defraud him of a piece of spiritual crystal, but 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 Realm scene. 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 spending this period of time, 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 line of gorge really as dangerous as the legend says recently?"
Chen Lin sat on the spirit boat and talked to an old man with white eyebrows. In order to prevent affecting others, Chen Lin Sound transmission was used.
This is not his spirit boat, but it belongs to a trading company. 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 heirs 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. However, recently, on the only way to Shayu City, an unknown danger appeared in a location called Yixianxia. Many The monks who came and went disappeared inexplicably, and this enshrinement also had some enemies, so for the sake of safety, such a guard team was formed.
Hearing Chen Lin's inquiry, the white-browed old man looked serious and spoke through the same message.
"Young Daoist Chen is right. There has been a lot of unrest over the Xianxian Gorge recently. The Xu family's caravan in the city was completely wiped out there 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 the highest level of cultivation? Does Fellow Daoist Hu know?"
Although he has no idea about the number of people in the Xu family's caravan. He has a certain degree of confidence in his own strength, and he is pretending to be a Jindan monk at the moment, but he must know as much as possible about such a dangerous place.
The white-browed old man glanced in the direction of the 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 Lord from the early stage of Nascent Soul to be in charge. The trading company even dispatched five people. They were enshrined in the golden elixir period, but they all disappeared in Xianxia Gorge. No one was seen alive, and no corpse was found 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.
"Do you know, Fellow Daoist Hu, that there have been cases of high-level monks falling in the first line of the Gorge?"
Chen Lin decided that if there was a precedent of Yuan Ying's late fall, then he would directly Returning to Xiaoyun City, I would rather pay some liquidated damages than take the risk.
Anyway, he can't do it overnight if he wants to go to Hongshan Continent. Delaying for a few days won't have much impact.
The white-browed old man shook his head.
"That's not true. The highest cultivation level is in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and higher-level monks don't seem to be affected."
After a pause, he added: "Exactly Because of this situation, everyone suspects that there is an evil cultivator there to kill people and seize treasures. If it is a monster or evil thing, it will not be ignored. "
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 a puzzled expression: "Fellow Daoist Chen seems to be really unconcerned with worldly affairs. The demons in Zhongting Mountain are rioting, and the strong men from the surrounding forces have suppressed them. How can they have time to care about it?" It's such a small thing , If not for this, with the courage of those evil cultivators, they would not dare to do such murders and plunders in Xianxia, and Yuanguang Trading Company would not need 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.
Evil demons are creatures formed from evil auras. They are very common in the Star North Boundary, but not many in the Star South Boundary.
This kind of evil beast usually does not leave the evil place, and rarely appears during the day, but nothing is absolute. This time, the evil beast in Zhongting Mountain showed signs of leaving the evil place, and was extremely manic. .
After going through the incident of the evil beast in his mind, Chen Lin was about to ask again when he felt the spirit boat pause and stop.
"Fellow Taoists, there is a line of gorge ahead. It has not been peaceful there recently. Please cheer 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.
This person is from Yuanguang Trading Company. He 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, they walked up to an ugly old man.
Respectfully said: "Zhenjun, please forgive me."
"Yeah."
The ugly old man hummed softly, without any unnecessary expression.
The middle-aged man did not dare to say any more and bowed back.
Then, he glanced at the precipitous 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, every I’ll pay two extra spiritual crystals!”
As soon as he said this, Chen Linbian noticed that the eyes of the three golden elixirs of the white-browed old man all lit up, and the expression that originally wanted to shrink 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 the golden elixir monks. It is impressive that these two people can give them up.
If you can survive with such courage, you may become a figure in the future.
With the incentive of a huge reward, 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. Almost no mana at the top can be used.
As a result, the danger of trying to cross the mountain from the top of the mountain increases. After all, it is rare for someone like him to have soul power that exceeds his mana. Most monks focus on mana. If they cannot use mana, they almost become ordinary people.
“Fellow Taoists, we are entering 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, do not be reluctant 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 Xianxian 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 guarding in different directions, alert to abnormal situations.
The ugly Nascent Soul monk sat in the middle, and the head of the trading company and his two brothers and sisters stood beside him.
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 breathed 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!
