I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Chen Lin never expected to meet Zhao Mengru on this ship. The scene between the two of them under the ancient temple suddenly became clear.

After so many years, the other party's cultivation is only at the eighth level of Qi training, and it seems that his qualifications are not very good.

However, his appearance has not changed much, but he has matured a lot. After all, he is still in his forties. If the monk hadn't aged so slowly, his face would have been covered with wrinkles.

"Zhao Mengru, it's your honor for me to like you. Now I'll give you two choices. Either you can sleep with me honestly now, or you can hunt sea beasts immediately. But I have to remind you that ordinary fish and shrimps can No, it must be at the level of a monster, and the amount of tasks you have owed for such a long time is quite a lot!"

The cabins on the bottom floor are all large bays, and there is a hall in the middle. An old man in gray robe with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is talking nonsense to Zhao Mengru, while Zhao Mengru has an angry look on his face.

There were many people watching, but no one spoke for Zhao Mengru. They all looked like they were watching the fun.

The two female cultivators beside her looked at the gray-robed old cultivator with fear on their faces. This old cultivator's status on the ship should not be low.

Chen Lin hugged his shoulders and watched with a smile from behind, wanting to see how the quirky woman from back then solved the predicament in front of her.

"Xu Dachang, don't bully me too much. The new Senior Chen is familiar with me. If you make me angry, I will let Senior Chen kill you!"

Zhao Mengru raised his head and suddenly said something that made Chen Lin stunned. He thought the other party recognized him.

But he immediately realized that the other party was bluffing again.

He couldn't help but smile. When they were in the underground passage, the other party was pretending to be someone from the Zhao family in Pingyang City, which was why the two of them escaped.

Unfortunately, his trick didn't work this time. The gray-robed old cultivator curled his lips and said sarcastically: "Why didn't you say you were Senior Chen's Taoist companion? I remember when you first boarded the ship, you said you were Master Zhuo's." Relative, why didn’t they take you with them when they left? Later, you said that you were a clansman of Senior Zhao, and Senior Zhao exposed it. You were lucky that you were not killed directly. Now you want to pretend to be an acquaintance of Senior Chen. I think You’re pretending to be addicted!”

After hearing what the other party said, Chen Lin was speechless for a while. He was really used to pretending to be intimidating.

However, I feel that the other person's IQ seems to have declined as he grows older. Isn't it just asking for trouble by pretending to be a family member of a foundation-building monk on this closed ship?

He shook his head and stopped watching. If the seven foundation-building monks were really involved later, he would not be able to come forward.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward and said, "Haha, you were wrong this time. She really wasn't pretending to be someone, she was an acquaintance of Chen!"

Chen Lin put away his breathing technique, released the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and used his spiritual consciousness to attack the gray-robed old cultivator, teaching him a lesson.

The monks in the hall were suddenly startled and moved out of the way, looking at Chen Lin with suspicious eyes.

"Chen, Senior Chen, I have met Senior Chen!"

The old repairman in gray robe wanted to continue to put pressure on Zhao Mengru, but he felt a huge pressure coming on him, making him feel like he was struck by lightning, and he greeted Chen Lin in horror.

Chen Lin glanced at the other party and ignored him. Instead, he walked to Zhao Mengru and said, "We haven't seen each other for many years. Fellow Daoist Zhao looks very haggard. Come with me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He had just arrived and it was impossible for him to kill people at will. It was enough to teach the old cultivator a lesson.

Zhao Mengru was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed for a while, and then he hurriedly followed Chen Lin's footsteps.

The Qi-training monks in the hall looked at each other and looked at Zhao Mengru with envy and jealousy. After climbing up to the foundation-building monks, they could live in the cabin on the top floor and enjoy the best resources without having to go out to sea to do tasks. , which is equivalent to soaring into the sky.

The gray-robed old cultivator looked as if he were mourning his heir, with a look of panic. He had offended the foundation-building cultivator, and he would probably be difficult to get along with on the ship in the future.

Taking Zhao Mengru back to his residence, Chen Lin sat on a chair and looked at him with a smile.

Zhao Mengru was a little at a loss, and after a long time she whispered: "Fellow Daoist Chen, is that you?"

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then he raised his thumb and said in praise: "I thought your IQ had declined over the years, but I didn't expect you were still so smart. Yes, it's me, Chen Shuangmu, actually called Chen Lin!"

"ah!"

Zhao Mengru's eyes suddenly showed a dazzling look.

A feeling of joy at being saved from a desperate situation emerged. She moved, as if she wanted to get closer to Chen Lin, but she immediately remembered that their identities were different now, and immediately bowed deeply and said: "I didn't know it was true. Senior Chen, thank you very much for saving me, Senior Chen."

Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "No need to be too polite, we can be friends as equals. If you are not used to calling me fellow Taoist, you can call me brother. But why did you come to Lan Yu City's ship?"

Sensing Chen Lin's sincere attitude, Zhao Mengru felt relieved and slowly recounted her experience.

This is the history of blood and tears of a casual cultivator, and Chen Lin felt the same after hearing it.

The opponent had been stuck at the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi training for more than ten years. In order to find a breakthrough opportunity, he had to take risks to various dangerous places to find opportunities, and finally wandered to Qi State where Lan Yu City was located. Then the Qishen Cult appeared, and after several near-death encounters, he finally obtained the merit of redeeming the Small Broken Mirror Pill, successfully entered the late stage of Qi training, and escaped here with the retreating team.

"I didn't expect that after twenty years of separation, Brother Chen has become a foundation-building monk. It's really enviable!"

Zhao Mengru let out a sigh.

Thinking back then, she was full of lofty ideals and wanted to make a difference on the path of cultivating immortality. She didn't pay attention to foundation building at all, and she even felt that the golden elixir was not her end. But reality taught her a bloody lesson, letting her know what it means to be dangerous on the road to immortality, and what it means to be high-minded but low-handed.

Especially the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi training made her so stuck that she wanted to die. She had the idea of ​​giving up several times and finding someone to marry, but she was unwilling to do so, so she persisted until now.

But now she no longer has the extravagant hope of building a foundation. She only hopes to reach the other side of the sea safely and spend the rest of her life safely.

But Chen Lin's next words made her freeze on the spot!

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you want to build a foundation?"

After floating at sea for so long, Chen Lin felt that one person's abilities were limited after all, so he wanted to find two reliable companions, which would be beneficial both for dealing with the dangers at sea and for his development after arriving on the main continent.

But it must be reliable. If it is unreliable, I would rather not use it.

After hearing Chen Lin's question, Zhao Mengru was stunned for a long time, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

But immediately she smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Chen is joking, who doesn't want to build a foundation, but my little sister has long been worn down by reality, and there is no place to get a foundation-building pill on this sea. What can I do if I think about it again?" Not to mention the orthodox foundation building, even if it is to build the demon foundation and the yin foundation and other unorthodox methods, my little sister cannot achieve it."

After speaking, he glanced at Chen Lin secretly.

She knew that since Chen Lin asked this, he must have a foundation-building method, but she could consider Yin Ji, but it was true that Yao Ji's appearance had changed too much, and she was a little frightened.

"Haha." Chen Lin smiled, and the other person's little thoughts were clearly visible in his eyes, but he didn't want to beat around the bush and said bluntly: "After all, you and I have known each other. I think your current situation is quite difficult. If you want If you want to build a foundation, I can help you, and it’s not about building a foundation in the left way, but building a foundation in the orthodox way.”

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, he continued: "But no benefit in the world comes for free. If you want me to help you, you need to give something."

After speaking, he looked at the other person.

Zhao Mengru's face turned red, and she suddenly unbuttoned her clothes and said resolutely: "Brother Chen has fallen in love with my little sister's beauty. If so, please have mercy on me."

Chen Lin waved his hands dumbfounded and said: "What are you thinking? I just said that after helping you break through the foundation, you must be my loyal partner and cannot betray."

Zhao Mengru blushed deeply, but returned to normal immediately, and immediately swore: "I swear by the demon in my heart that from now on I will recognize Chen Lin as my master. If there is any betrayal, the demon in my heart will backfire and my soul will be destroyed!"

Years of experience have made her deeply aware of the importance of opportunity. This opportunity may be the last one in her life. If she cannot seize it, there is really no hope.

And under the current situation, if she cannot seize the relationship with Chen Lin, she will have to return to the bottom. It is self-evident what is waiting for her.

Therefore, Zhao Mengru swore the oath of master and servant without hesitation.

Chen Lin didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, so he couldn't say anything else.

And apart from the oath of the inner demon, he has no other means of restraint. Treasures like the soul contract cannot be obtained casually.

"Okay, in that case, you can use these pills first and raise your cultivation level to the ninth level of Qi training as soon as possible, and then I will give you the Foundation Building Pill!"

Chen Lin didn't hesitate, took out a bottle of Condensation Pill and handed it to the other party.

Then, he felt that given the opponent's qualifications, ordinary pills alone might not be able to break through the ninth level of Qi training in a short period of time, so he asked again: "Have you ever used marrow-cleansing pills?"

Zhao Mengru happily took the elixir and was very excited. Suddenly when he heard Chen Lin ask, he immediately shook his head and said: "How can I afford such elixirs? Later, I accumulated enough merits in the alliance, but I often have to When I went out to do a demon hunting mission, I didn't dare to waste my merits on it, so I exchanged magic weapons and talismans."

Chen Lin nodded. If he didn't have the talent, he might not be as good as the opponent, and he wouldn't even be able to get out of Kaiyuan City.

He also had a lot of marrow-cleansing pills on him. He took out one and said, "I haven't used it before. It's perfect. If I use it now, I might be able to break through the ninth level of Qi training. Take it and refine it quickly!"

After handing the elixir to the other party, he warned: "Don't make this matter public, and don't go back to your original residence. Just live in the room next to mine!"
