Chapter 635: Chapter 630: Lingering Four

"Let’s see how the luck turns out." Lin Xin was in need of a Taoist Soldier, and Feng Huai delivered two Taoist Seeds. Regardless, it was considered showing the other party favor.

He smashed the Taoist Seed onto the ground.

As the black ball hit the ground, it immediately exploded into a white fog.

Lin Xin waved away the white fog, revealing a delicate miniature garden model.

The model was only palm-sized and silvery-white throughout, surrounded by a wall, inside of which were a multitude of colorful little flowers.

"This is..." Lin Xin reached out and captured the Taoist Seed, and instantly streaks of information flowed from it, which he perceived.

’Miniature Garden: produces one Flower Demon daily, capable of caring for plants.’ The pure mental message quickly let Lin Xin understand what this thing was.

"Useless Taoist Soldier. This luck..."

Although he knew that the chance of acquiring a good Taoist Soldier from the black market seeds was small, did it have to be this useless? These kinds of seeds, which don’t even have a rank position marked, typically produce Taoist Soldiers that are utterly lacking in combat ability, which even mortals could capture with ease.

Resigned, he put the item aside and picked up the other one.

Once a Taoist Soldier is cultivated and released, it can affect the direction of one’s own cultivation.

If the Burning Furnace can’t hold up, then the Green Yuan Decision can continuously provide energy for the Taoist Soldier’s structure, and after the Taoist Soldier’s structure evolves, it can in turn nourish the cultivator.

According to the information mentioned by Feng Huai, this Taoist Soldier Battle City seems to be related to becoming an Earth Immortal. It lays the foundation for ascending to Earth Immortality.

Lin Xin wasn’t clear about other cultivation techniques, but the Green Yuan Decision indeed requires the use of Taoist Soldiers later on. He had just entered the Third Level Space, and to think about advancing to the Fourth Level anytime soon was out of the question. It was the perfect time to study Taoist Soldiers.

Five hundred Contribution Points went down the drain, and Lin Xin picked up the second black market Taoist Seed and smashed it onto the ground.

Pfft!

Another puff of white fog.

When the fog dispersed, it revealed a miniature silver door.

Lin Xin hurriedly picked it up, and as soon as he touched it, he couldn’t help but let out a light "huh."

’Door of Bewilderment: A door full of risks and opportunities.

Opens once every ten days, a total of three times.

It might connect to countless dimensions, the Void, different entities within the universe. One can pay a certain price to communicate and negotiate with these entities, or even establish a pathway for travel. It is also possible to be harmed or even destroyed by an enraged entity due to being disturbed.

This is a magnificent invention; it took me a thousand years to complete the structure of this door. Be wary, the Door of Bewilderment can be opened many times, but once a pathway is fixed, it can only connect to one line.’

"Door of Bewilderment?"

Lin Xin had seen an introduction to this thing when perusing through records of Taoist Soldiers.

It seems to be a product of the Primordial Ancient Times, possibly even earlier, with many in existence. But just like the information above said.

If one communicates with a savage and merciless individual, particularly one with an unstable temperament, the number of cultivators killed directly is not insignificant.

However, there are also those who successfully communicate with some decent entities, thereby exchanging resources for a significant amount of wealth and benefits.

Of course, there are also those who accidentally communicate with worlds that are inherently terrifying.

The entities originally had no ill intentions, but the moment the channel was established, the atmosphere from the other side flowed through, leading to colossal explosions, creating zones of deadly poison and wastelands for thousands of miles. Such terrifying scenes are not uncommon.

The cultivators who died as a result are even more numerous.

It’s rare for anyone to fully open it three times. Often, it’s opened twice, or just once.

Opening it three times is based on the premise that one can withstand any terrifying scenes that may occur.

Despite such defects, it’s said that this Taoist Soldier Seed is still very expensive, for as they are used up, their price keeps rising.

Lin Xin didn’t know how much exactly, but he knew that this thing was very, very valuable. Even to him, a Fifth Rank Human Immortal, it could be considered a significant fortune.

"Not bad luck this time."

He put away the two Taoist Soldier seeds, went out, and found an open space in the snow.

Several rune dwarves rushed over and quickly built a barrier wall under his direction, then inscribed it with reinforcing runes, with Lin Xin tossing out Spirit Jade as the rune energy core. Then he spread out the Purification Light, gently enveloping the surroundings in a huge white light sphere cabin.

After that, he sat down cross-legged, then tossed the Door of Bewilderment forward.

The small door immediately hovered in front of him, enveloped by the green Innate pure energy he exhaled from his mouth and nose, beginning the cultivation.

An hour and more passed, and Lin Xin extended his index finger, forced out a drop of Essential Blood, and let it fly onto the Door of Bewilderment, merging into it.

Hum!

The Door of Bewilderment immediately rolled out and fell into the snow.

The ground around it instantly sank. As if unable to bear the weight, the ground also began to tremble slightly.

In a flash of silver light, Lin Xin couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

When he came back to his senses, the palm-sized Door of Bewilderment had already transformed into a silver door over one person tall.

The door frame was silver-gray, as if metal bars twisted about to break. At the top of the door frame was carved a massive golden eye.

Now enlarged, the door body was gone; the entire Door of Bewilderment was just the frame and base.

Through it, one could see the white snow wall hastily erected behind.

Lin Xin narrowed his eyes, feeling the connection with his own flesh and blood above, indicating the cultivation was a success.

He stepped closer.

Click, click...

Suddenly, the golden eye jerked, the golden eyeball moving like that of a dragon’s, with a pitch-black vertical line in the center, deep and bottomless.

The eye shifted a few times, glanced at Lin Xin, then restlessly started to spin around, looking in other directions.

Lin Xin saw a line of small characters under the cyclops, characters unlike any he recognized.

He stretched out his hand, pressing it closely against the doorframe. He reached out with his senses.

Whoosh!

A mass of black and purple vortex appeared in the center of the doorframe. The vortex slowly rotated, gradually growing larger and larger.

A large amount of Innate pure energy was being drained from Lin Xin’s body, crazily pouring into the doorframe.

A Third Level Human Immortal of the Fifth Rank, the Polar Region of the extreme, such cultivation, if placed in the outside human world, disregarding Green Lake Mountain, would also be equivalent to a top-tier small Sect Master, capable of founding a sect, and establishing a Mountain Gate.

Furthermore, with Lin Xin practicing the Green Yuan Decision, the Runes engraved on his Green Yuan cauldron were all imprinted with the script specific to the cauldron itself, with their sole purpose being to accelerate the speed of gathering Innate pure energy.

As a result, his own recovery rate of True Yuan was extremely fast.

Despite this, Lin Xin still clearly felt that the Innate pure energy inside his body was surging out wildly like a fountain.

In less than ten breaths’ time, most of his True Yuan was drained.

"Ah~~~~!" A sigh, ancient and tired, suddenly emanated from within the doorframe.

The black and purple vortex had now completely filled the entire doorframe. Within it, countless purple forces were slowly, deeply churning.

Sss...

Suddenly, the vortex stopped spinning.

The doorframe’s absorption rate of True Yuan also slowed down, barely enough to match Lin Xin’s pace of energy gathering.

A beam of light, the color of which was indistinct, shone out from the vortex, falling upon Lin Xin.

"Strange communicator, I am pleased to meet you," a calm, elderly voice came from within the vortex.

It wasn’t any particular language but seemed more like a special message directly converted by the doorframe, which allowed for easy comprehension.

Lin Xin organized his words, realizing that saying hello might not be understood, given how customs might differ completely.

Other forms of greeting also might not communicate smoothly.

On the contrary, this manner of speaking by the other party was easier to be direct and clear.

"I am also pleased to meet you, strange communicator."

After some thought, he decided to respond in the same manner as the other party.

"According to the recorded rules of communication, we can engage in trade exchanges. Of course, this is provided that we can stabilize the channel. Do you need something? And what can you offer?"

The other party proposed directly.

"I need..." Lin Xin organized his thoughts, "a large amount of pure Soul Power. Can you provide that?" The Attributes Points he absorbed were, in fact, essentially derived from the essence of the Soul, with a greater proportion being the Soul itself.

So Soul Power represented Attribute Points.

And pure souls wouldn’t burden him with more memory Fragments.

"Soul Power?" The other side fell silent. "Do you mean the tiny residual product after the death of life?"

It seemed the other party didn’t understand what Soul Power was. This implied that the level of the other side was not high. Lin Xin was somewhat disappointed.

But on second thought, it made sense; even as a Fifth Rank Third Level in the entire Mortal Realm, he was considered a strong figure, not to mention in other worlds. Only in a terrifying sect like Green Lake Mountain would he be a minor character.

Elsewhere, any place could make him a regional overlord.

"This connection can last for ten days. Do you have anything you wish to trade?" Lin Xin asked again. Even though the other party’s level was not high, there might still be expensive and rare items that were in demand here.

"Gold, silver, gemstones, and crystals? Do they count?" The message from the other side left him somewhat speechless.

"Forget it, let’s leave it at this for now." Not wanting to waste more words, Lin Xin bid farewell and turned to leave. He had the rune dwarves build a high wall surrounding the Bewildering Door, completely enclosing it.

Leaving the Bewildering Door, Lin Xin moved to an empty space and threw out his small garden.

The Taoist Seed, once it touched the ground, flashed with silver light, instantly expanding countless times to form a medium-sized garden with a diameter of over one hundred meters.

Inside the silver walls, a riot of colorful flowers bloomed vigorously.

Faintly, one could hear the laughter of girls emanating from within.

"This is not bad, ancient Taoist Seeds really are different from the modern ones, even a discarded Taoist building still has such grandeur.

This garden can be used as a botanical garden on regular days."

Lin Xin walked through the main gate of the garden, where clusters of flowers in myriad hues radiated intense Spiritual Energy.

A few palm-sized girls with transparent cicada wings shyly hid among the flowers, peeking at him through the gaps.

"Can you understand what I’m saying?"

Lin Xin asked aloud.

No one answered.

The little girls scattered in a fluster, like startled sparrows, quickly burrowing into the ground with their bottoms poked up.

These little girls were all naked, their bodies bare, each one possessing a sweet and innocent appearance with a body that was extremely arousing, and there was a latent, powerful charm about them.

Even Lin Xin’s willpower struggled against lingering, so he left upon receiving no response.

What he initially thought was a discarded Taoist construction seemed to have some interesting points.

Not to mention anything else, just the appearance and figures of those little Flower Demons, and their power of seduction could fetch a high value once produced.

Such naturally pure beauty, unlike that improved by Postnatal cultivation, was very much in demand in the current cultivator market.

Moreover, these little Flower Demons seemed quite intelligent, and if they could be trained as Maids or subordinates, it would be even better.
