Chapter 398: Exploring the Situation

At the end of the passage, there was a cliff connected to the sea, and as soon as Lin Chen and Zhang Hao walked out of the passage, the salty and wet sea breeze blew in their faces.

Standing on the cliff and looking at the sea, the sea and the sky are one, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is water or sky, just like the fog locks the mountain and the mountain locks the fog, and the sky is even the water tail water and the sky.

The sea in the distance, under the delicate sunshine, is more like fish scales spread on the water, and like a naughty child constantly jumping to the shore.

Nearby, waves continued to surge, crashing against the rocks, making a roar of the sky and the earth cracking, spraying snow-white foam, like a thousand miles of snow-capped mountains.

The two of them looked at the vast sea, and suddenly felt open-minded, and some of the depression caused by being chased by the demon beast quietly dissipated, and the whole person became refreshed.

The two of them marveled for a moment before coming back to their senses and began to probe their surroundings.

After a slight glance, I didn't find any demonic energy or prohibition, and the aura was also very thin, not like a monk.

After thinking about it, the two of them cautiously flew up from the side of the cliff, and soon reached the top of the mountain, taking in the surrounding situation.

Ascending high and looking into the distance, Lin Chen found that they were now on an island, with a radius of about a hundred miles, and the high mountains below them divided the island into two parts, the south side was lush and green, and it was a lush forest, and in the north, there was a faint human population rising, and there was a town, which did not seem to be an uninhabited place.

At this time, Zhang Hao also flew up, after all, he was still in an unfamiliar environment, and it was not the time to hang out.

Looking at the people in front of him, his eyes moved, and he said, "It seems that there are no monks stationed on this island, only a mortal town, let's go there directly now?" ”

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "There are so many mortals on the island, our rash appearance will inevitably attract attention, let's investigate the situation first." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Hao frowned when he heard this, "Senior brother is probably too careful, it's just some mortals." ”

Zhang Hao felt that Lin Chen's appearance was a little too cautious.

After all, as an immortal cultivator in the Jindan period, he is no different from an immortal in front of mortals, if this is still timid, then what kind of immortal is he cultivating? What do you want to get?

If you don't reach the top for the rest of your life, you have to hide yourself like a mole for the rest of your life?

But in this regard, Lin Chen just glanced at him lightly and said, "Mortals are indeed nothing, but why don't you think about it?" This small island is not that big at all, and there are very few species in the woods on the island, but there are mortals living on it, don't you wonder where these mortals came from? ”

"This ...... What does Senior Brother mean is that these mortals are related to the monks of the East China Sea? Zhang Hao quickly reacted.

"That's right, it's better to be careful." Lin Chen nodded, "After all, the East China Sea is different from Middle-earth, but it is in a wartime state, although it is true that there is a mixture of fish and dragons, but if we make too much noise, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." ”

Zhang Hao thought for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with this statement.

And Lin Chen directly used means to probe the situation in the town with his powerful perception.

With his perception, he quickly gathered the situation in the town.

In general, the language style is consistent with the mainland heritage, with a strong local accent, which is generally intelligible; The clothing and clothing are different from Lingnan, and the material should be made of linen unique to this place.

However, there is one thing that Lin Chen still pays attention to, that is, there is no aura here, and the monks do not, but there are still a lot of traces left over from the formation, Taoist rituals, and monk activities, and according to the situation, it seems that the monks come quite frequently, but they just happened to hit a window period, and no monks came here.

"Strange...... There are obviously no aura resources here, why do you feel that the activities of the monks here seem to be a little frequent? Lin Chen withdrew his divine sense, and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help asking.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and briefly told Zhang Hao about the situation here.

"Isn't there a monster around here? So the monks came here to slay demons? Zhang Hao faced this doubt and put forward his own opinion.

"There is a small sea area and island near here, and there is no aura, where did the demon beast come from?" Lin Chen shook his head, "Besides, I haven't found a lot of traces of battles here. ”

"Why do we want so much? Why don't you just go in and ask. Zhang Hao didn't have so many ideas, and said directly.

“…… Also, use spells to hide your traces and probe for a while. Lin Chen thought about it and agreed with this suggestion.

The two discussed it and soon learned the language style.

Then, after they descended the mountain into the town, they quietly sneaked into the city lord's mansion, ready to learn more about the situation here.

There are no monks in the city, and with the strength of the two of them, they can be called unscrupulous.

However, the two of them didn't mean to hurt these mortals, and one illusion went down, causing the rest of the people to faint, and then directly cast an ecstasy spell on the city lord and began to inquire in detail.

The city lord didn't know too much, but he unexpectedly knew a lot of news about immortal cultivators.

According to him, there is no clear distinction between immortal cultivators and mortals overseas as on the mainland, on the contrary, monks will often come to the mortal world to refine qi according to various needs.

"Gas?" Lin Chen and Zhang Hao glanced at each other, a look of doubt appeared on their faces, and the latter asked aloud, "What does it mean to collect qi?" This place is a soulless land, how to collect gas? Where does the aura come from? ”

"According to the immortal master, qi collection is based on the exercises, adopting a mouthful of heaven and earth aura." The city lord's face was full of confusion, but he subconsciously replied, "And whether it is a mortal or an innate martial artist, it must adopt a wisp of heaven and earth aura into the body, so that it can transform into an immortal." ”

"But the aura of heaven and earth, looking at the attributes, there are only ten kinds of yin and yang five elements, wind, thunder and ice, but there are thousands of types, different kinds of aura have different characteristics, and they show differences in subtleties, so the immortal masters need to take a wisp of heaven and earth aura, according to the needs, constantly differentiate, and then adopt it into the body, before they can step into the practice."

Adopt only one kind of aura, and then turn it into your own life, so as to step into the practice?

Lin Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and continued to ask, "Then what does this have to do with the mortal world?" ”

"I don't know, I only know that there are some specific attributes of heaven and earth aura, which need to be condensed with the help of mortals, and immortal masters will also come here every ten years to accept apprentices." The city lord confided all the news about the monks, "And the immortal masters are all from the east. ”

"It is rumored that there is a large island with a radius of thousands of miles, called Lingyuan Island, which is the center of this sea area, and it is rumored that the immortal master lives on it, and there are many strange islands around it, all of which are immortal residences."

The two of them then asked about some more things, and after finding that this city lord didn't know more things, Lin Chen and Zhang Hao quietly left and returned to the cliff at the beginning.

They consolidated the information they had gathered so far and discussed it.

"It governs 100,000 miles of sea territory and thousands of miles of spiritual vein islands, it seems that the person behind this must be a Yuanying cultivator, and the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm is really as prosperous as expected!"

When Zhang Hao said this, he didn't need to bring a touch of joy on his face, which showed that this place was more suitable for cultivation, and the probability of his cultivation breakthrough was also greater.

But Lin Chen didn't have a look of joy on his face, but lowered his head and pondered for a while before he said slowly: "I'm afraid...... It's not as good as we expected. ”

"Huh? Why did the senior brother say this? Zhang Hao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking.

"Do you remember what you just heard from the city lord about the monk's qi harvesting?" Lin Chen didn't answer his question directly, but said something else.

"Gas extraction? This may be some kind of secret cultivation method. Zhang Hao said disapprovingly.

"If it's a secret method, it's fine." Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something, and sighed lightly, "I'm afraid, this is a convenient method on the path of refining qi and cultivating immortals." ”
