"Fellow Daoist Chen, where did your maid go? Did she discover something?"
The Blind Girl had made no attempt to hide her actions, and Yang Qianxing immediately stepped forward to ask through a transmission.
With his own fate at stake, he could no longer worry about prying into private matters. Still, he used Soul Transmission rather than speaking aloud.
Chen Lin shook his head without answering.
Then he took out his last Fortune Orb and began drawing on its qi luck force. At the same time, he brought out the Pill Bottles containing his Qi Luck Pills and emptied them into his mouth, bottle after bottle.
The sight made Yang Qianxing grimace. He thought something must have shaken Chen Lin badly.
After exchanging a glance with the Hundred Flowers Fairy, he could not help trying to persuade him. "She was only a maid. If she left, let her go. Why abuse yourself like this?"
Chen Lin glanced at him, ignored him, and continued pouring pills into his mouth, bottle after bottle.
At last, a hazy outline began to emerge along one of the lines in his consciousness sea.
His spirits lifted, and he immediately focused his attention on it.
But his brows furrowed almost at once.
The line was completely severed in the middle, without the slightest continuation beyond it. That meant entering through this orb offered no chance of success whatsoever.
Chen Lin's heart sank, but he did not lose hope. He continued swallowing pills, then imagined entering the second orb.
Another line lit up faintly.
The result was the same: there was no continuation at all.
Next, he tested the third and fourth.
By the time he had imagined entering all nine orbs, the energy in his Qi Luck Pills and Fortune Orb was almost exhausted.
