Chen Lin picked up another box.
When he opened it, he found a document inside.
A quick look revealed that it was the permanent residence the True Immortal had promised him. She had indeed kept her word.
What was more, the place she had designated was actually the mountain peak he had first rented!
Chen Lin's expression shifted uncertainly.
As expected of the city's ruler, nothing about him could escape her scrutiny. She had probably already investigated his entire past down to the last detail.
Everyone left traces wherever they went. No matter how often he changed his identity, there were still tracks to follow. A True Immortal's methods were unfathomable; perhaps she could even see into the past and future.
Putting the document away, Chen Lin shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.
Since his identity had been exposed, he might as well accept it.
Permanent permission to use such a vast cave residence was worth a considerable sum. He could leave it to Leng Yue and the others and let them develop here, establishing a foothold of his own that might prove useful someday.
He could not keep drifting forever without a fixed home. He still needed to cultivate forces of his own. If nothing else, it would make gathering resources easier.
Having made his decision, Chen Lin continued checking the boxes.
The next few held no surprises. They contained assorted talismans and healing pills, all general-purpose cultivator supplies. They were nothing exceptional, but their grades were not low either.
Finally, three boxes made from unusual materials remained. At a glance, they clearly stood apart from the rest.
Chen Lin opened them all.
Inside were a bamboo scroll, a fragment of bone from some unknown creature, and a token.
He picked up the token first.
