Chen Lin glanced at the ethereal woman and thought to himself what a coincidence. He was just thinking about how to contact her, but he didn't expect that she would find him first.
"I am not from your country, why should I pay tribute to the princess of your country?"
Chen Lin showed a stiff attitude and then looked at the other party's reaction.
This is also a normal reaction of a person with supernatural powers. If he behaves too humbly, it will easily arouse the other party's suspicion.
Sure enough, the princess was not displeased, but waved her hand to stop the guard from scolding her again.
She walked slowly in front of Chen Lin and whispered, "Are you really not from Hun Country? Why do I feel that your aura is very familiar?"
After saying that, he looked him up and down.
Chen Lin's heart trembled, as if the other party had seen something.
"I don't understand what your Highness means."
Even if the other party saw through it, he couldn't admit it. They were just an envoy, not the princess of his own country, and they couldn't do anything to him.
However, the other party did not ask any more questions, but suddenly said: "This county lord is going to perform the soul fusion on the day of welcoming the soul. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"
"Sorry, not interested."
Chen Lin flatly refused.
He has learned something about the soul fusion. It is a special sacrificial ritual that requires the assistance of a large number of people with magical powers. Moreover, these people cannot all be of the same race. It seems that people of every race must be balanced.
And its function is to assist those who have merged their spirits to improve their magical powers.
This is a unique method used by the Soul Nation's royal family, and it is held almost every Soul Welcoming Day. It is naturally beneficial to those who merge with the soul, but the death rate of assistants is said to be extremely high.
The Soul Kingdom is the superpower in this world with the strongest strength. In order to prevent interference caused by the simultaneous fusion of spirits of many royal children, those who are preparing to fuse spirits are sent to various countries in the form of delegations. Not only do the countries dare not complain, but they also work hard to help find auxiliary magical powers.
Chen Lin naturally declined such a dangerous behavior. No matter how high the stakes offered by the other party, he was not interested.
Moreover, once he gets involved, his identity will inevitably be exposed, and he will be looking for trouble.
"Are you really not interested?"
The princess glanced at Chen Lin and said, "If you agree, I can get you a chance to use our country's soul refining pool. Maybe your soul can be advanced because of it!"
The other party's words shocked Chen Lin.
As expected, she is worthy of being the princess of the Soul Kingdom. Her sensitivity to the soul is so strong that she could see the peculiarity of his soul at a glance. It seems that this is why she called him back.
His eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly said, "My name is Lin Feiyu. I wonder if I am qualified to have a private chat with Princess Princess?"
"Bold, who are you..."
Without waiting for the princess to speak, the guard immediately started yelling in anger, and was about to take action, but was stopped by the princess.
"Can."
The princess nodded, then pointed to a luxurious restaurant nearby and said, "This is a good place. We were just about to go here, but we didn't expect to run into Master Lin. By the way, my name is Sima Qing, and my title is Qinghua. You and I are not from the same country, so just call me by my normal name."
Chen Lin took a quick glance and saw that there was indeed a very luxurious restaurant not far away. He made a gesture to invite the guests in and walked in first.
"Princess, this person's origin is unknown. For your safety, why don't you take him back to the inn?"
Seeing the Lord of Qinghua County getting up to catch up, the guard immediately spoke out to persuade him.
Princess Hua of Qinghai waved her hand, indicating that it was okay, and then walked quickly forward.
The followers could only follow behind.
Chen Lin asked for a VIP box, but Princess Qinghua came in and showed a token, then cleared the restaurant.
This made him immediately feel the other party's status and also proved the power of the Soul Kingdom.
No one dared to stop him.
"Mr. Lin, if you have anything to say to me, you can say it now."
The two of them sat down, and the princess spoke generously.
Her entourage was arranged outside the door, and she only brought one personal maid with her.
Chen Lin guessed that this was not an ordinary maid, and she even made him feel dangerous.
He hesitated for a moment, and without hiding anything, he got straight to the point: "I would like to ask how Your Highness the Princess saw that my soul was abnormal, and what is so special about the soul refining pool that Your Highness mentioned?"
Princess Qinghua seemed to have expected this, but she did not give a direct answer. Instead, she asked, "I am very curious about how Master Lin transformed his soul to the current level. As far as I know, apart from the secret method of our Soul Kingdom's royal family, no other country seems to have the ability to transform the soul into silver. Could it be that this is caused by Master Lin's magical power?"
Chen Lin didn't say anything.
He had no idea how to answer this question, so he just remained silent.
Princess Qinghua's eyes lit up when she saw this.
His smile became more friendly, and he took the initiative to say, "I can see that Mr. Lin's soul is special because I have the ability to sense the soul. As for the Soul Refining Pool, it is a natural secret place controlled by the royal family of my Soul Kingdom. It has the effect of tempering the soul and turning the soul into silver. The effect is very good, but one person can only use it once, and the quota is very precious. Even if I want to apply for it, it is not easy."
The other party's words made Chen Lin's heart move.
The effect of this soul refining pool is somewhat similar to that of the soul refining pill, and the names are also similar. I wonder if there is any connection.
But on second thought, it seems unlikely.
His interface is far away from this interface, and even the line of cause and effect has been weakened to the extreme. There must be no connecting space channel.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Excuse me, but may I ask why the Soul Refining Pool has such an effect?"
Princess Qinghua looked at Chen Lin in confusion, shook her head and said, "I don't know either. There are countless strange things between heaven and earth. Not everything needs to be sought after. I just need to know that the liquid in this soul refining pool is good for the soul."
At this point, she persuaded again: "How about it, Master Lin, have you considered it? As long as you are willing to be my soul guide, I will definitely help you get a place to use the soul refining pool, and I can take you back to the Soul Kingdom and promise you wealth and glory!"
Chen Lin refused again.
Tan Ran said, "It is said that being a spirit guide is extremely lethal, and even the magical powers cannot be passed down. Although I am not a royal, I don't want to take my life lightly, so there is no need to talk about the spirit guide, Princess. However, I am very interested in your country's soul refining pool. I wonder if I can trade for the right to use it in other ways?"
Since the other party could casually mention the Soul Refining Pool, it must not be a secret. Its efficacy can be easily discovered by asking around, so the other party should not be lying.
If it can really promote the qualitative change of the soul, it will be very important to him.
He was also very curious about the source of the liquid in the Soul Cleansing Pool. If possible, he wanted to try to see if he could use it to replace the Eight-Armed Circumvention Method to refine the authentic Soul Refining Pill.
"hehe."
Princess Qinghua smiled faintly.
He seemed to find Chen Lin's proposal ridiculous.
But she seemed to really need Chen Lin's spirit guide, so she asked casually, "Do you know how much preparation is needed to use the soul refining pool once? How much manpower and material resources are needed? Even the direct descendants of our royal family cannot guarantee that everyone can use it once. What can you offer in exchange?"
Chen Lin ignored the other party's contempt, but stretched out his hand and took out the magical treasure box.
"How about this?"
After much thought, he decided not to use this thing. Although his magical powers were impressive, he was not born in this world after all, so it was hard to say whether he could obtain them. Moreover, if the gods in this world really existed, using this thing would most likely attract the attention of the other party, and that would be like walking into a trap.
But the value of this item is beyond doubt. It can be said to be the most important treasure in this world, without a doubt. He believes that it is enough to be used as a trading item. If he did not have confidence in Xiaocao's strength, he would not dare to take it out directly like this.
Sure enough, when Princess Qinghua saw the magical treasure box, she was stunned for a moment, and then stood up from her seat with a look of disbelief.
"Magic Treasure Box, you actually have this thing!"
Then she realized that she had lost her composure, so she calmed down and sat down again.
"I am really short-sighted. It seems that you, Master Lin, are not ordinary. But are you sure you are willing to transfer this item? Now the day of welcoming the spirit is not far away?"
In this world, no one can resist the temptation of the magic box. Using the treasure box will definitely give you great magic power, something that can make you reach great heights in one step.
Whoever gets a treasure like this will use it for himself. It is hard to imagine that anyone would trade it.
Chen Lin smiled slightly. Seeing the other party's expression, he knew that the matter was settled.
"Since I have already taken out the things, I am naturally sincere in the transaction. However, if the county lord agrees, a blood contract must be signed. After all, I am alone and have no big background or backing. In order to prevent the county lord from regretting, this is also a helpless move."
Princess Qinghua's expression changed for a while, she took a breath and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I agree. If Mr. Lin is worried, you can stay with me during this period. As for the blood contract, it is not necessary. Our royal blood will not be shed. But I can swear a great oath to the gods!"
"Can."
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and agreed.
The other party had sufficient reasons, and the people here believed in gods, and the binding force of the oaths given by gods was also very strong.
After the other party finished swearing, Chen Lin handed over the magic treasure box.
Princess Qinghua's eyes lit up, and she observed it happily for a long time before carefully putting it away.
Then she looked at Chen Lin with a half-smile and said, "Since such a huge deal has been completed, we should celebrate it properly. This princess would like to offer a toast to Master Lin. I wonder if Master Lin is ready to drink it?"
"Haha, of course it's convenient."
Chen Lin laughed, unbuttoned his robe, and pulled his head out of his neck.
The other party's words clearly implied that he had discovered his situation, and since he would be following the other party to the Soul Kingdom in the future, there was no need to continue hiding it.
The heads of the people of Hun Country are all normal.
Princess Qinghua didn't expect Chen Lin to "reveal his true colors" so easily, and couldn't help but show admiration.
At the same time, he was even more curious about Chen Lin's identity. If he didn't have a certain level of strength, he wouldn't be able to be so free and easy.
"It turns out that Master Lin is not from the Tou Country. I wonder which country he is from. Could he be from our Hun Country?"
"Of course not."
Chen Lin smiled and shook his head, saying: "I am from the Zuo family of Xin Country, but something happened, so I came to Tou Country to hide."
He had already thought of pretending to be a member of the Zuo family of Xinguo. Anyway, with Zuo Bingning as his servant, he could cover up any investigation.
However, he originally planned to use it when he went to Xin Country, but he didn't expect to use it now.
