Chapter 613: Possession

Looking at the completely destroyed alchemy furnace, Lin Zhen sat down helplessly.

He had somewhat misjudged the strength of his own firepower. The power of the deep green flame was so great that even the simple homemade furnace, let alone the ones sold online, would probably not be able to withstand the calcination.

And those good alchemy furnaces cost millions or even tens of millions, and Lin Zhen couldn't afford them even if he spent all his money.

"Is my alchemy career going to fail?"

Lin Zhen put away the abandoned alchemy furnace, decided to pick the herbs, and then go out to buy herbs to earn some living expenses.

Lin Zhen didn't want to do this either, as it would delay his herbal planting plan. The price of herbs was incomparable to that of pills, but having no money was not an option.

At this time in the dimensional universe, Ge Yunjie called Lin Zhen again.

"Brother Lin, let me tell you a good news that is not really good news. Do you want to hear it?"

"Oh! What do you mean?"

"Huang Yong from our hometown association is missing. Do you think this is good news?"

"Missing? Will he come back in two days?"

"That's definitely not the case. This kind of thing has happened to fellow townspeople before. They disappeared and never came back."

Ge Yunjie seemed very happy: "Brother, Huang Yong used to suppress me. He was the best player in the club. Now that he is missing, the position of the best player in the club is mine. From now on, no one will suppress you in the club anymore."

Being able to say such words to Lin Zhen proved that Ge Yunjie really treated him as his own, and Lin Zhen was very happy for him.

"Congratulations, Brother Ge! The clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared."

"Hahaha, I want to congratulate you as well. Get ready. The president said he wants to take you to the Temple of Eternal Life to pay homage."

"The Temple of Eternal Life?"

"Brother, you must be familiar with the Temple of Immortality. There are many of them in the Metaverse. The owner of each temple is a warrior in the Immortality Realm. These warriors often explain cultivation knowledge, but not everyone is qualified to listen. The president can take you there, but it is a great opportunity, you must seize it."

"When are you going?"

"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, when the red planet is west of the horizon, you can come over."

After explaining some precautions, Ge Yunjie hung up the dimensional universe communication.

Lin Zhen even heard a hint of jealousy in Ge Yunjie's words. It can be seen that the opportunity to go to the Temple of Eternal Life is very rare.

But Lin Zhen did not show any joy. He stood up and paced silently around the room.

After a long while, he seemed to have figured something out.

******** Using the little remaining money, Lin Zhen stayed in the hotel for another night. The next morning, he checked out and went straight to the hometown association.

After arriving at the hometown association, the carriage was already ready for Lin Zhen. He was told that the president was waiting for him at the Temple of Eternal Life, so he could just take the carriage over.

Two dragon horses pulled the carriage. These horses had scales on their bodies, dragon whiskers around their mouths, and some dragon blood. The price of one horse in the dimensional universe was 300,000. It could be seen that President Xu Xingyao was quite wealthy.

Alchemists are basically wealthy people, because this profession is extremely expensive, but also extremely profitable, and you can't do it without money.

After getting on the carriage, the dragon horse began to accelerate, speeding at a speed sub-light, which made Lin Zhen think for a moment that he was about to enter a parallel universe.

In less than half an hour, the carriage arrived at the Temple of Eternal Life outside the city.

The Temple of Eternal Life is actually the home of warriors who have reached the realm of immortality. After every warrior reaches the realm of immortality, he will choose a place to build his home.

The stronger the warrior, the taller and more exquisite the temple will be, because this will attract more low-level warriors to come and worship.

It costs money to worship, just like the incense in the temple. The more people worship, the more money he makes.

Above the earth, a huge palace hundreds of meters high rose from the ground!

Ahead was a solid lapis lazuli road, lined with flowers and green trees, leading directly to the temple gate.

There is no need for anyone to maintain order. Everyone who arrives here will automatically get off the car and walk along the road without making loud noises, to show respect for the Great God of the Realm of Immortality.

Lin Zhen followed the crowd to the door of the temple. Two human-shaped sculptures of unknown style served as doorposts, supporting the roof.

The hundred-meter-high gate is majestic and magnificent, and people here are like ants.

The owner of the Temple of Longevity here is called Shui Jing, the strongest man ever to come out of the Wood King's Palace. After he entered the realm of longevity, he settled down in his hometown. Not only ordinary warriors would come to worship, but even the Wood King would often come to worship.

In front of the God of Immortality, he, the King of Wood, is nothing at all.

After arriving here, Lin Zhen received a message from the Dimension Universe that he had added a friend, and the person was Xu Xingyao.

"President, I'm here."

"Well, the worship will not begin for a while. Please go to the seventeenth room on the left side of the main hall. I will wait for you there and explain the details to you."

Lin Zhen agreed and walked along the wall of the hall.

There was a row of guest rooms in the distance. Lin Zhen walked to the door of the seventeenth room and knocked gently.

"Come in."

Xu Xingyao's voice sounded a little hoarse, and he sounded like a dying man.

Lin Zhen pushed the door open, and the door closed automatically after he entered. This was a large suite.

The first thing that caught Lin Zhen's eyes was a huge alchemy furnace. The furnace had eight legs, and each leg was a golden dragon, extending all the way to the top, giving it an ancient and majestic look.

The entire body is made of purple gold essence, and there is still residual temperature inside, as if the furnace was used to make elixirs not long ago.

If this alchemy furnace was purchased in the dimensional universe, it would be worth at least tens of millions!

Ordinary alchemists really can't afford such high-end goods.

There are rows of red gourds on the wall, probably used to store elixirs.

Lin Zhen walked through the alchemy room and came inside.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xu Xingyao was lying on the bed, his body motionless, only his chest was slightly rising and falling. If Lin Zhen hadn't seen this, he would have thought he was dead.

"President, what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhen came to the bed.

Xu Xingyao slowly opened his eyes and gave Lin Zhen an ugly smile. After not seeing him for a few days, he seemed to have aged a lot, and the flesh on his face had become sunken.

"Help me up."

Lin Zhen helped Xu Xingyao sit up. He leaned against the head of the bed, took out a pill from a gourd, swallowed it, and after a while, he looked better.

"Oh, no, I'm old, and I don't have many days left to live."

Lin Zhen did not continue this topic. When a warrior's life span comes to an end and he is about to die, no one can do anything unless he can break through himself.

Xu Xingyao looked at Lin Zhen and suddenly said, "Lin Zhen, as someone who came from the New Territories, what is your attitude towards us New Territories warriors?"

Lin Zhen pondered for a moment: "I must gain a foothold in the Metaverse and not be bullied."

"Okay! I like to hear that!"

Xu Xingyao clapped his hands fiercely, his face flushed: "Lin Zhen, if I hand over the New Territories Association to you, can you guarantee that our New Territories warriors will eat well and sleep well in the Yuanjie, and that everyone will be safe?"

"Leave the hometown association to me? But I just got here!"

Xu Xingyao shook his head: "It doesn't matter if there is one day more or one day less. The key is in the other people. I don't see a man's responsibility. Besides, when it comes to talent and qualifications, you have the highest talent. The fact that you were recognized as the number one in the Black Hole Period is enough to prove everything."

Lin Zhen didn't say anything for a long time. He didn't want to take over any hometown association. It was undoubtedly a mess, and managing it would definitely delay his cultivation.

He also felt that Ge Yunjie seemed to want to take over the hometown association, and Lin Zhen didn't want to compete with him.

But Xu Xingyao obviously didn't have many days left to live, and it was difficult for Lin Zhen to refuse this method of entrusting his son to others.

Xu Xingyao tremblingly took out a token from his space ring and handed it over personally: "Lin Zhen, I'll leave the hometown association to you. This way, even if I die, I can close my eyes in peace."

"President, I think Ge Yunjie seems more suitable for this position."

"Him? He's still a little off. He's too utilitarian. He's not suitable."

Seeing that Lin Zhen had no intention of accepting the offer, Xu Xingyao became anxious: "Lin Zhen, this is the only wish I have before I die. Can't you agree to it? Even if you don't want to do it, can't you find another suitable person to pass it on?"

"Okay then. I'll take it."

Lin Zhen stretched out his hand to take the token.

At the moment when the two people came into contact, something strange happened! The token was not a token at all, but something like liquid metal. It instantly became a lock and locked Lin Zhen's hands!

Lin Zhen retreated like lightning, but he couldn't take off the handcuffs anymore! "Hahaha! Don't waste your time. This is made of soft gold from the metaverse. Without more than one million star powers, it's impossible to force it out. Lin Zhen, surrender!"

Xu Xingyao, who seemed like he was about to die just now, became full of energy, with a red glow of excitement on his face.

Wearing the metal handcuffs, Lin Zhen stared at Xu Xingyao and asked, "Why?"

Xu Xingyao sat up from the bed and looked Lin Zhen up and down: "Wow! What a young body! He is a galaxy beast from the Qilin clan. He has the best talent in the New World Black Hole Stage. He is really a rare treasure that is hard to find in billions of miles!"

"Why? I don't seem to have offended you."

"Yes, you didn't offend me, but you should know a saying, a man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Lin Zhen, you have such a good talent, and this is your fault. I don't have much time left, and there is no hope for you to be promoted to the realm king. If it were someone else, they would just have to wait for death."

As he spoke, Xu Xingyao raised his hand, his hair and beard all stood up, and he said madly: "Thanks to the great alchemy method I learned, I know a way to seize the body. Lin Zhen, from today on, my soul will occupy your body, and I will live well in your place."
