I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Enter the shuttle again.

There were no accidents this time, and we arrived at the underwater ruins smoothly.

As for the entrance to the ruins and the situation outside, they are all unknown. After coming out of the shuttle, they were already inside the ruins.

Chen Lin appeared and immediately checked the surrounding situation.

Then I discovered that this place should be underground under the sea.

The space was relatively dark and humid, and the only source of light turned out to be a pool of water.

The pool is not big, less than ten feet wide, and the water inside is also black, but with a little bit of white light.

It is these white lights that give underground space visibility.

There are many types of plants growing on the edge of the pool, and there are traces of people opening up spiritual fields.

However, no one has taken care of it over the years, and it looks very messy, and the full picture of the spiritual field can no longer be seen.

Chen Lin's eyes moved.

These plants may not seem messy, but they must be unusual things to grow in such a place, otherwise they would not have caused Dayuan Trading Company to go to war.

Suddenly, his eyes paused.

I saw not far away, at the edge of the pool, many plants like small trees growing.

Densely packed, some thick and some thin.

Some are still blooming with flowers as big as the mouth of a bowl, and some are already bearing fruits.

He knew this plant, it was the true soul tree!

Chen Lin was speechless.

True Soul Wood, True Soul Flower, and True Soul Fruit are all excellent things for improving the soul. Whether in the Lower Yuan Realm or the Upper Yuan Realm, one of them is hard to find.

But there are so many here!

There is no need for anything else, just these True Soul Woods are enough to be worth the price of this trip.

And there is more than just true soul wood here.

There are more than a dozen such spiritual fields beside the pool, all covered with various spiritual plants.

Chen Lin made a rough distinction and found that they were basically used for souls. All of them were rare varieties, and none of them were inferior to True Soul Wood.

He didn't even recognize either of them.

You must know that he has received the complete inheritance from Aunt Aisa, and his understanding of spiritual plants is as good as any other spiritual plant cultivation family.

It must be extremely rare to be able to make him unrecognizable!

But what puzzled Chen Lin was that in the face of so many spiritual flowers and herbs, Ji Shenjiu did not immediately order to collect them. Instead, he stood there motionless, not knowing what he was waiting for.

Manager Xu and others also had no reaction.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one asked.

This wait lasted only half a day.

Everyone is getting more and more confused.

Although for them, standing for ten days and a half has no impact at all, but they can't stand forever, right?

After waiting for another hour, someone finally couldn't hold it any longer and began to send messages to the stewards of their respective teams.

But the manager didn’t know what was going on.

The weird creature broke through the shuttle before and killed many people. Ji Shenjiu was probably not in a good mood, and some of them did not dare to ask for fear of getting into trouble.

In the end, Jin Zhu, who was also in the virtual realm, asked his doubts.

"Master Ji, when will we collect the treasures? Do we need to wait for a certain time?"

"No, I'm waiting for someone."

Ji Shenjiu replied lightly.

Then there was silence again.

Now even Jin Zhu couldn't ask any more questions.

He is just offering sacrifices and using people's money to do things for others. How he does it is not his responsibility.

As for Chen Lin and others, they even dare not ask.

Of course, it is inevitable to secretly complain in your heart.

They all felt that Ji Shenjiu's strength was not that great, but his posture was very high.

Even the treasure of the domain could be broken open by strange creatures, causing the death of more than 20 people and their companions. They didn't even say a word of apology, and they were still pretending to be incomprehensible. They simply didn't know what to say.

But complaints are complaints, but no one dares to express them.

So, a team of dozens of people stared at each other in this underground space.

After waiting for two full days, just when everyone was impatient, two rays of light fell from above one after another.

An old man in gray robe.

There is also a woman with a particularly big head.

The old man in gray robe has a square face and holds a white jade pot in his hand.

The big-headed woman is holding a picture scroll.

"I thought I was slow enough, but I didn't expect you two to be slower than me."

Seeing these two people, Ji Shenjiu's face relaxed and he spoke calmly.

"Haha, we encountered some changes along the way. Fortunately, we didn't waste time."

The old man replied with a smile.

Then he shook his hand, and the jade pot in his hand floated into the air, floating to the sky above the open space. In a flash of light, dozens of figures landed on the ground.

There were men and women, looking at the situation in confusion.

On the other side, the big-headed woman also unfolded the scroll and released dozens of practitioners.

Seeing this scene, Chen Lin suddenly felt enlightened.

It turns out that this treasure hunt is not just one company, but three companies.

But it seems that it should be led by Dayuan Trading Company.

Because Dayuan Trading Company, in addition to Ji Shenjiu, also has three virtual realms to enshrine, while the other two parties only have one virtual realm each, and the rest are all semi-virtual realms.

But in this case, he probably wasn't here for the treasure at the edge of the pool.

Although these heavenly materials and earthly treasures are cherished, to them in the semi-virtual realm, they are not so precious in the eyes of the strong men in the virtual realm, and they are not enough to allow the three major forces to jointly act.

Chen Lin looked at the people in the other two teams. There were no familiar faces and he couldn't tell what force they came from.

The Sea of ​​Souls is not small in scope, and the surrounding forces are not limited to Wangxiang City.

"Now that we're all here, let's get started to avoid long nights and dreams."

After the other two teams had adjusted, Ji Shenjiu spoke in a deep voice.

The old man nodded happily.

"Yes, this place is not a place to stay for a long time. The sooner it is done, the better."

Then he looked around the pool and said, "But these things also have some value, so we can't give them up. Should we share each of them equally, or should we each choose a range."

"It's too troublesome to divide it equally, so just draw a range!"

The big-headed woman spoke.

Ji Shenjiu and the old man had no objections. The three of them distributed so many natural and earthly treasures with just a few words.

He looked unconcerned.

They did not do it themselves, but asked the stewards of their respective teams to lead the collection.

Chen Lin happened to be assigned to collect true soul wood.

But with a strong person in the virtual realm watching, he didn't dare to hide it privately, he could only covet it.

More than 200 people acted together, all of whom were specialized in collecting treasures, and the area around the pool was quickly cleared.

The spiritual herbs are kept by the steward.

Immediately afterwards, Himegami and the other three each took out a broken statue, came together, and put the statue together.

A black statue over three feet tall with three heads and six arms appeared in front of everyone.

What surprised Chen Lin was that the three heads on this statue were none other than Jiu Shenji!

This will inevitably make people mutter.

He was not the only one who was confused.

Such a strange scene made everyone's expressions change, and they had a bad feeling.

Even the stewards frowned.

But Himegami Kuzu and the others had no intention of explaining.

In their eyes, Chen Lin and others are just tools, and there is no need to explain to the tools.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, please take action!"

The big-headed woman looked at Ji Shenjiu and spoke.

The old man walked to the big-headed woman's side, showing an obvious intention of unity.

Ji Shenjiu glanced at the two of them.

He said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I think the distribution method needs to be changed."

As soon as these words came out, the two old men immediately became wary and clenched the treasures in their hands.

The big-headed woman said in a deep voice: "It's a bit uncomfortable to change your mind before the battle. This doesn't seem to be Taoist Fellow Ji's style."

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with it. If things change, other aspects will naturally change accordingly."

"Has it changed? What has changed?"

The big-headed woman frowned and asked, with a strong look of suspicion.

"It's nothing. It's just that when I came here, I met the Soul Seducer above. I'm afraid the seal inside has been loosened."

Ji Shenjiu spoke calmly.

Then he added: "If you don't need my help, then you can still follow the previous agreement, but you have to sign a new contract. Don't blame me for not saving you."

"What, that monster ran out?"

The big-headed woman was very frightened.

The same goes for the old man. The two of them glanced around at the same time, seeming to be very afraid of the monster.

"What do you two mean? Hurry up and make up your mind. Don't waste time!"

Ji Shenjiu urged.

There was no sound transmission during the conversation between the three people, and everyone present heard it clearly.

The faces of the two teams on the big-headed woman's side were not very good-looking. Although they didn't know what the Seducers were, they looked very powerful and felt a little worried.

Dayuan Commercial Bank is not bad here.

Obviously, the so-called seducer is the tricorn hat villain. Although he is very strange and powerful, he has been eliminated.

"What do fellow Daoist Ji think?"

The big-headed woman asked in return.

Neither she nor the old man was as strong as Ji Shenjiu, so naturally they still wanted to advance and retreat together according to the previous agreement.

"It's simple. I'll pick three of the treasures inside, and then divide the rest equally."

"This is impossible!"

The big-headed woman suddenly became angry.

He said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Ji, don't go too far. I'm not sure how many treasures there are. If there are only three pieces, will it be a waste of time for me and fellow Daoist Gu to go on a trip!"

"That's right, three is too many."

The old man also echoed.

After a pause, he said again: "Okay, originally you could only take one piece first, but now I'll let you take two pieces first, but both treasures will be counted in the distribution, and you only have the right to choose first."

"Haha, forget it, let's re-draw the contract, the distribution method remains unchanged, and life and death will be determined by fate."

Ji Shenjiu sneered and took out a golden contract.

Their expressions became increasingly ugly.

Knowing that Ji Shenjiu was really threatening them.

But there is no way.

The big-headed woman suppressed her anger and squeezed out a smile: "Why are you doing this, Fellow Daoist Ji? Since you don't agree with Fellow Daoist Gu's plan, let's make a compromise. You choose two treasures first, and only the second one will be counted as a share. That’s enough, Fellow Daoist Ji should be satisfied, right?”

The old man immediately followed up and said: "Fellow Daoist Ji, the treasures in Linglong Tower are uneven. Every time there are only three or four top treasures, although our two families are weak now, we won't go too far, right?"

"Okay, then just do as Taoist Fellow Yufeng says."

Hearing this, Ji Shenjiu agreed reluctantly.

Then he took out a dark stick and inserted it into the two hands held by the statue.

The statue suddenly trembled.

The eyes on the three heads opened at the same time, emitting a breathtaking light.

Waves of weird aura emanated from his body.

I don't know if it was affected by the aura, but the water in the pool began to roll, and it became more and more violent.

Ji Shenjiu's expression turned grim.

The palm slowly stretched out, and the runes on the palm appeared again.

But this time there was no separation, but a golden light bloomed and fell on the statue.

The statue suddenly came to life.

The old man and the big-headed woman immediately released black and white light and fell on the statue.

"open!"

The three mouths of the statue let out a low drink together.

Then he jumped into the air, raised the black stick in his hand, expanded several times in size, and smashed it hard against the pool!

A strange scene appeared.

After the black stick landed on the water, there was no splashing scene. Instead, the water in the pool calmed down.

Then the white light spots in the water quickly gathered, forming an energy vortex in the middle of the pool.

At this time, the statue seemed to have completed its mission and split into three pieces again with a crash.

"The entrance can only be maintained for a quarter of an hour, don't delay, everyone go in!"

Ji Shenjiu reminded Jin Zhu, put away the black stick and his statue, and then jumped into the whirlpool first.

Upon seeing this, the big-headed woman and the old man immediately put away the statues and entered the whirlpool one after another.

"Walk!"

At Tianyuan Trading Company, Jin Zhu gave an order, and all the stewards and everyone rushed in like dumplings into the whirlpool.

Chen Lin was caught in the crowd. Although he had scruples, he could only follow in.

It is not impossible to take the opportunity to enter the fiefdom.

But it is easy to get in, but difficult to get out.

Because he doesn't know how to leave this place, if he encounters a large number of strange creatures after coming out, it will be difficult for one person to resist them.

For safety reasons, Chen Lin could only hold the piggy bank in his hand, aiming the gold coins at the coin slot, ready to put them in at any time.

But no danger appeared.

His body tensed and loosened, and he broke away from the whirlpool and landed in a strange space.

The space is not big and very dark.

In the center, there is a very small tower, only about one foot, completely black and emitting a faint light.

Chen Lin didn't know why, because he could see at a glance that there were no spiritual flowers or herbs.

Even if this small tower is collected, it seems that the Law of Life is not used.

Is there a cave inside the small tower?

Not only Chen Lin had such suspicions, but others also looked surprised.

Xue Ding approached Chen Lin, full of vigilance.

Buzz!

Before they could make more observations, the small black tower suddenly trembled, and then a bubble floated out from the top of the tower.

The bubble is transparent, and there is something inside, like a short knife.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, do you want to exercise your right to make the first choice?"

Seeing the bubbles appear, the big-headed woman's eyes flashed and she asked.

Ji Shenjiu gave the other party a cold look.

"Hmph, don't resort to such clumsy means. I will naturally make a selection after all the treasures are collected."

After saying that, he shook his hand and several black chains flew out, binding the bubble.

The bubble seemed to be spiritual, rushing left and right, trying to break through the restraints, but ultimately failed, and was pulled in front of Ji Shenjiu by the chains.

The golden light flashed in Ji Shenjiu's palm, the bubble was burst, and a silver short knife was caught in his hand.

After looking at it, he looked disappointed and threw it to the big-headed woman who came over.

"Just an earth-level treasure?"

After the big-headed woman checked it, she also frowned and handed it to the old man.

Before the old man could take a closer look, he saw the small tower tremble again, and a series of more than a dozen bubbles flew out!
