Chapter 1375 Treasure Retrieval Mission
Dayuan Trading Company.
Chen Lin glanced at the towering mountain peaks and then at the huge signboard at the foot of the mountain. He couldn't help but secretly lamented that the business area of a trading company was larger than the territory of his Kaiyuan Sect.
No wonder it is difficult for the sect to recruit disciples.
There are no formations on the mountain, but there are many magnificent buildings built. From time to time, practitioners fly in and out, and there are endless streams of lights.
Each building is a shop that sells different types of treasures.
The higher you go, the higher the level of the store.
All kinds of things, very comprehensive.
Chen Lin used his magic skills to fly towards a green building halfway up the mountain.
It is called Qingmu Pavilion.
Dayuan Commercial Bank is a complex, and it is also subdivided into independent stores. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the commercial bank, it also has certain authority to operate independently.
This Qingmu Pavilion is a store affiliated to the trading company that sells spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs.
“Welcome to Qingmu Pavilion, what kind of spiritual herb do you want to buy?”
As soon as you entered the door, a female nun with excellent appearance and temperament came forward to receive you, which was very eye-catching. One light.
“I am Chen Kaiyuan, Kaiyuanzong, here at the invitation of Manager Xu.”
Chen Lin bowed his hand and used a pseudonym.
My real name is so popular that I will no longer be able to use it for a while.
"It turns out to be Sect Master Chen. The steward has given instructions. When you come, just go upstairs."
The female receptionist made a gesture of invitation and took Chen Lin to an independent room in the back. At the entrance of the stairs.
Then he stopped.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to lead, Chen Lin nodded and walked up the stairs on his own.
He knew that this was also a gesture, indicating that he was not taken seriously.
But it’s normal.
A first-stage cultivator of Banxu is completely insignificant in front of such a behemoth as Dayuan Trading Company.
Stairs lead directly to the third floor.
Walking through a passage and opening the door, there is a spacious hall.
There are already some practitioners in the hall, some men and women, some talking and some sitting quietly.
Chen Lin glanced at it.
I didn’t see Manager Xu, so I just found a place to sit down.
After the maid served the spiritual tea, she closed her eyes slightly and fell asleep.
He came here this time to accept a mission from Qingmu Pavilion and go to a secret place to collect some rare spiritual herbs.
The other party did not say what kind of spiritual grass it was.
The reason why I invited him is because of the law of life.
After some spiritual grasses are dug out, they must be kept alive by the source of life, otherwise they will wither immediately.
As for the Law of Life, Chen Lin originally planned to hide it, but after thinking about it, it was unnecessary.
The Law of Life is different from the Law of Destiny. Almost no one can successfully practice the Law of Destiny. He has been in the Shangyuan Realm for so many years and has never encountered one.
Too eye-catching.
But there are many people who practice the Law of Life, and they don’t attract attention.
And sometimes, it is necessary to show your strength appropriately. If you want benefits to come to you, you must first be useful to others.
So except for the law of fate, he revealed the other laws normally, leaving others to guess.
In this way, people can't figure out his real details and dare not act rashly. For decades, the sect has not received any provocation.
"Haha, everyone is here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something delayed me for a while. Fellow Taoists, please forgive me!"
With the sound of apology, a man wearing a blue robe , a middle-aged man with a kind face walked in.
While walking, he clasped his fists repeatedly.
The gesture is very good.
"Manager Xu has a lot of things to do every day. It's not like me, who has nothing to do all day long. It doesn't matter how long you wait. As long as there is something good, just think more about us."
Everyone present stood up one after another, and a white-haired man The old man responded with a smile.
Others immediately echoed.
Although Qingmu Pavilion is just a store under Dayuan Trading Company, its level is not low, and it mainly sells spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs, which are needed by all cultivators.
Guanshi Xu’s status is not ordinary.
Not only is he the shopkeeper of Qingmu Pavilion, but he is also the deacon of Dayuan Trading Company, so he has considerable authority.
“It’s easy to talk about.”
Manager Xu came to the front, asked the maid to change into better spiritual tea, and then retreated.
Enter the topic immediately.
“Thank you all fellow Taoists for giving Xu a little face to participate in this task. Some fellow Taoists already know the situation, and some are still half-informed. I will introduce it again.”
Chen Lin sat back down and listened carefully.
The reward he negotiated with the other party was to take the merchant ship of Dayuan Trading Company to the Soul-Desolating Continent.
Such a quota is valuable, and only a behemoth like Dayuan Trading Company has the strength to cross the Sea of Souls.
So this seemingly simple task will definitely not be too easy.
If it is too dangerous, he will consider whether to go.
"The spiritual herbs we want to obtain this time cannot be disclosed for the time being, lest the news leak out and attract other forces to compete for it."
Manager Xu spoke slowly.
Then he added: "As for the location, it is in an undersea ruins in the Broken Soul Sea."
"The Broken Soul Sea?"
Guanshi Xu just finished speaking. , some people raised doubts.
Chen Lin also frowned.
The Broken Soul Sea is a forbidden area for ordinary cultivators. It is difficult to survive below the virtual realm, and it also goes deep into the seabed, so the danger is even higher.
"Haha, you don't need to worry too much. This treasure hunt is led by the trading company, and we are not the only one in Qingmu Pavilion. The trading company is naturally responsible for safety issues. Our task is to collect the spiritual herbs."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was a merchant enshrining them.
The worshipers of Dayuan Trading Company are all powerful people in the virtual realm, and this is a joint mission. The number of people will not be small, and the safety should be no problem.
Chen Lin still muttered a little.
As a trading company, it is not normal to hunt for treasures in person, and it is even more difficult to do such a big battle.
But he didn't raise any objection.
He has always wanted to see how dangerous the Duanhun Sea is, and this is the opportunity.
In addition, according to his understanding, whether it is abnormal energy or strange creatures in the Soul-Dead Sea, they are all aimed at divine souls. In this regard, he still has some confidence.
"Okay!"
Seeing that no one said anything, Manager Xu took out a contract and said:
"If you all have no objections, just sign this contract, and then we Just go and join the treasure hunting team!”
No one objects.
For this kind of treasure hunt, signing a contract is a must.
After the inspection was correct, a total of thirteen people were present, and they all stamped their souls on the contract one after another.
Chen Lin also did not refuse.
This kind of soul contract is of no use to him at all.
As his soul level increases, the specialness of the time traveler's soul becomes more and more obvious, which is one of the reasons why he dare not continue to upgrade his soul.
Afraid that the soul will mutate and be unable to merge with the body.
There is nothing wrong with Manager Xu’s contract.
It requires confidentiality, and it is not allowed to hide treasures privately. There is no reason to refuse.
"Very good, everyone is happy to cooperate!"
Manager Xu looked at the completion of the contract and showed satisfaction.
Then he led everyone away from Qingmu Pavilion and came to the teleportation hall of the trading house.
Use the teleportation array to directly reach a small town near the Soul-Dead Sea.
Here, Chen Lin saw the offering from the merchant house that Manager Xu was talking about.
There are three people in total.
They are all strong in the virtual realm. One of the majestic golden-crowned men, Chen Lin had seen before, was a force not far from Xiaofeng Mountain, the head of the Golden Sword Sect!
Because of the close distance, I made a point of getting to know it.
This person’s name is Jin Zhu.
Neither a cultivator of immortals nor a system of gods and demons, but a warrior who entered Taoism from martial arts.
The exercises form a system of their own.
The fourth level of the virtual realm has strong combat power.
Chen Lin was a little surprised when he saw this person.
He really didn't know that the other party was actually a worshiper of Dayuan Trading Company.
However, the fourth level of the virtual realm is already a high-end combat power. With this person here, as long as they do not enter the depths of the soul-breaking sea, there should be no problem with safety.
Then, Chen Lin secretly observed the other two virtual realms.
The pressure of these two people is not as strong as that of Jin Zhu, and their cultivation level most likely does not exceed the third level of the virtual realm.
Even so, it was an immortal-level existence, enough to deal with most of the dangers in the Soul-Destroying Sea.
Let him feel relieved.
He doesn't need anything else, as long as it gives him time to activate the piggy bank when danger comes.
After waiting for a while, other teams arrived one after another.
Each team consists of more than ten cultivators. After leaving the teleportation array, they each find a place to stand and do not mix in one place.
Chen Lin looked around and didn't recognize anyone.
More than sixty years after coming to Wangxiang City, he spent most of his time in seclusion and had little contact with the outside world.
But with so many people participating, the underwater ruins must be quite big. The time of this trip was not stated, so I don’t know how long it will take to come back.
This point is really ignored.
Chen Lin glanced at Manager Xu, thought for a while and gave up the inquiry.
You have come and the contract has been signed. Even if you know it will take a long time, you cannot withdraw.
Anyway, the contract is of no use to him. He really feels that the effort is out of proportion to the benefits, so he just wants to find a way to steal some treasures.
As long as it can be sent to the fiefdom, no one can find it.
This kind of omission in time should be done intentionally by the other party. If the other party is unkind, you cannot blame him for being unruly.
Chen Lin continued to look at it while thinking.
He soon discovered that the cultivation levels of these participants were not high, and some even existed below the semi-virtual realm.
They should all be like him and have some useful methods for obtaining treasures.
"What do you call fellow Taoist?"
While observing, an old voice sounded in Chen Lin's mind.
"Chen Kaiyuan, who are you?"
Chen Lin glanced at it and sent a message to the white-haired old man behind him.
This person spoke in Qingmu Pavilion, and he remembered the voice.
"Northeast of Laofu River, the head of the Xue family, Xue Ding'e."
"What?"
Chen Lin was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Why, has Chen Daoyou heard of my name?"
"Oh, I have heard a little bit."
Chen Lin said vaguely.
The old man didn't care, and just thought Chen Lin was flattering.
He glanced at Steward Xu and continued to transmit the message: "Friend Daoist Chen, the place to be explored in this battle is probably unusual, and it may not be as safe as Steward Xu said."
"What does Fellow Daoist Xue mean?"
Chen Lin asked tentatively.
The other party's cultivation level was similar to his, and he did not sense danger from the other party, which meant that he did not have any powerful means. He must have wanted to make an alliance when he approached him.
Sure enough, the other party immediately sent a message and said: "From my perspective, Fellow Taoist Chen is also a kind person. How about we form an alliance and advance and retreat together in the event of danger. That way we have a greater chance of survival."
“Yes.”
Chen Lin readily agreed.
This kind of verbal agreement is to seek comfort in the heart. If there is a life and death crisis, no one can take care of anyone else and can only rely on themselves.
The old man seemed very satisfied.
After nodding, he went to contact the person next to him.
Chen Lin did not squint his eyes and waited in silence.
Not long after, everyone arrived.
Finally, a tall man walked out, exuding powerful soul power fluctuations.
With just a few gestures, you can influence other people's souls, making them feel like they are in an ice cellar.
Chen Lin was secretly surprised.
It seems that he is a soul practitioner, and he has special soul powers. I wonder if he can be passed on to others.
He needs the soul secret technique too much.
Unfortunately, even in the Northern Territory where soul practitioners are prevalent, soul secret techniques are very scarce. He has been collecting them, but he has never met one that he likes.
High-level soul arts are all controlled by major forces, but he still looks down on low-level ones.
Moreover, there are legal barriers.
So after so many years, nothing has been gained.
"I, Ji Shenjiu, am responsible for this operation."
The tall man spoke in a deep voice.
“You don’t have to worry about anything. When you arrive at the ruins, just follow the instructions of your respective managers. Don’t worry about the remuneration. If you have special contributions, the company will not be stingy with rewards. But if there are those who dare to make extraneous matters, don’t blame me. You’re welcome!”
The voice ended, but the sense of oppression persisted, and everyone was silent and did not dare to say a word.
Chen Lin didn't know this person, but the three virtual realms were all respectful, and the other person's status was definitely not low.
Ji Shenjiu didn't hesitate.
After finishing speaking, a spindle-shaped treasure was released.
It is small and exquisite, but it has its own space inside. Everyone goes in, but it is still very empty.
Chen Lin was surprised again.
Looking from the outside, this treasure is only one foot in size, but it can accommodate so many people inside and is filled with spiritual energy. It has the effect of a treasure from the cave!
"Does Fellow Daoist Xue know the identity of Lord Ji?"
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Lin sent a message to Schrödinger to ask.
However, Xue Ding looked at his nose with evil eyes and his nose at his mouth, as if he didn't hear anything and didn't react at all.
Chen Lin was shocked when he saw this.
The appearance of the other party shows that Ji Shenjiu has an extraordinary status and is not a kind person.
He also stopped looking at them and only glanced at the others with his peripheral vision.
I found that they were basically the same as Xue Ding'e, standing there motionless.
There were only two or three people looking around.
“Pay attention to your words and deeds. This is the prototype of Lord Ji’s true domain. Lord Ji can feel every move you make here.”
Manager Xu saw Chen Lin’s reaction, He frowned and reminded him directly.
Chen Lin was shocked.
Immediately calm down and stop doing unnecessary actions.
But he was filled with doubts.
To form the prototype of the true realm, it is necessary for the body, soul and mind to be complete, and the laws to be complete.
It belongs to the quasi-real realm.
There weren't many such strong men in Wangxiang City. He knew them all, so he shouldn't have heard of them.
Moreover.
Such a strong person is needed to participate. The underwater ruins are probably very dangerous, so Manager Xu still concealed them to a certain extent.
Chen Lin thought quickly in his mind.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he remembered the identity of Ji Shenjiu!
