The speed of the airship was no less than that of a magic weapon, and it soon reached the territory of the Soul Kingdom.
This made Chen Lin feel surprised about Tan Shiyi again. According to his observation, this flying boat did not have any formation engraved on it. All the power came from a "power furnace", and it was the round crystal stone that made the power furnace run.
Being able to refine something of this structure into a magical weapon, this person's attainments in refining equipment are beyond doubt, and he became even more interested in exploring.
The capital of the Soul Kingdom is called Life City.
The name is very strange and the city is very huge, several times larger than the capital of Tou Country.
Princess Qinghua's status was not low, and she even had an independent princess's mansion. The airship landed directly in the courtyard of the princess's mansion.
"I'm going to the palace to report to His Majesty and apply for a place in the Soul Refining Pool for you. You can stay in my mansion. If you go out, remember to take the badge I gave you, so that you won't be arrested as a spy."
After getting off the airship, Princess Qinghua spoke to Chen Lin.
Then she pointed at a maid and said, "Lvliu, you will follow Master Lin for the time being."
This order surprised the guards and maids around, and they looked at Chen Lin with somewhat different eyes.
Chen Lin sensed the changes in the crowd and thought that Princess Qinghua's actions must mean something, but he didn't ask and just looked at the maid who was named.
This maid was not a member of the diplomatic corps, but was just brought out from the palace. Her appearance was only average, with nothing outstanding about her.
But after all, the people here are all healthy, unlike the Chinese who all hold their heads up, which makes them look much more pleasing to the eye.
"Yes, Princess!"
The maid named Lvliu agreed coquettishly, then walked in front of Chen Lin and bowed slightly, "Lvliu greets Master Lin."
Chen Lin also nodded in return and said, "I'm sorry to bother Miss Lvliu during this time."
He didn't refuse.
Even if the other party was sent by Princess Qinghua to monitor him, it didn't matter. He just wanted to use the Soul Refining Pool and then investigate the reasons for its formation to see if he could find materials to replace the Eight-Arm Circumvention. He was not afraid of surveillance.
Besides, I'm unfamiliar with the place, so it would be more convenient to have a maid.
Princess Qinghua went to the palace to report, and Chen Lin was brought by Lvliu to a room in the side courtyard.
"Sir, this is your room. If it is not necessary, please do not go to the main courtyard casually, lest the princess be unhappy. Also, please do not go to the backyard. The backyard is where the old woman practices meditation and does not like to be disturbed. If you need anything, just let Lvliu know."
Lvliu first introduced the rules to Chen Lin, and then began to tidy up the room.
Chen Lin pretended to look around and checked everything around him. After Lvliu had finished cleaning up, he said, "This is my first time here. I want to go outside for a walk. Miss Lvliu, do you want to follow me?"
Lvliu immediately replied, "Of course I have to follow him, otherwise the princess will scold me. I am now the young master's personal maid. Not only do I have to follow him when he goes out, but I also have to eat and sleep with him."
"We have to sleep together?"
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party suspiciously.
This standard of treatment is quite high. Could it be a unique custom in Soul Country
Lvliu's face suddenly turned red, and she said awkwardly, "I was just waiting for you to go to bed, it's not what you think."
Chen Lin nodded, and he said that even if Princess Qinghua thanked him for the magical treasure box, she would not send her personal maid to sleep with her. After all, she was a princess, not an ordinary merchant.
Moreover, even if he really did sleep with her, he wouldn't want her. His life rope was fake, and it was indeed difficult to tell by sensing her breath. But the people here relied on the life rope to pass on their family line, so he would definitely be discovered.
A person without a lifeline might cause great turmoil.
Market town.
The capital city here is more prosperous, and there are also markets for trading items sold by those with supernatural powers, and there are more than one.
Under the guidance of Lvliu, Chen Lin came to the largest market town.
"This is?"
As soon as he entered the market, Chen Lin was shocked by an item on the stall!
The stall owner was a short old man. He looked at Chen Lin in confusion and said, "Could it be that this warrior is not a native of this country? He doesn't even recognize Xiao Raoxing?"
Without waiting for Chen Lin to speak, Lvliu beside him immediately explained: "Sir, this is a low-level monster that is a specialty of our country. Its juice can nourish the soul, but the ones outside are of poor quality. If you want to buy them, you can go to the Wanwu Pavilion."
"A small detour?"
Chen Lin suppressed his excitement and picked it up.
The thing is only the size of a fist, but both its appearance and life fluctuations are the same as those of the One-Armed Spider. Coupled with its name, it can be basically confirmed that this thing is a weakened version of the One-Armed Spider.
"How much does this sell for?"
Chen Lin asked casually.
Although the energy contained in this item is very weak, it may not be impossible to use it to refine a low-end version of the Soul Refining Pill. You can buy it and try it.
"Ten dimes."
Just now, when Lvliu said she wanted to go to Wanwu Pavilion, the stall owner's attitude became less enthusiastic.
Chen Lin didn't care about it. Instead, he was even happier. Ten silver dimes was a cheap enough price.
Dimes are used in all countries because they contain special energy that is very effective in nourishing the life force and are a necessity for everyone.
The lifeline of the head he was pretending to be was the dime that kept him alive.
Since the stall owner was unwilling to pay attention, Chen Lin put down his things, and then went straight to the Wanwu Pavilion that the other party mentioned with great interest with Lvliu.
Since there is a small detour here, there should be a one-arm detour, or even a higher-level two-arm detour, or the eight-arm detour he needs!
And that soul refining pool is probably inextricably linked to the soul refining pill.
Chen Lin had a feeling that his accidental fall into this world might be a great opportunity.
The Pavilion of All Things is extremely magnificent and large beyond imagination.
The treasures inside made Chen Lin dazzled. Perhaps because he was confident enough, many treasures were displayed brightly on the shelves for people to play with and look at at will.
Chen Lin saw the small detour at a glance, which filled up an entire shelf.
He walked over and took a look, and found that there was an information label about the item on each grid, with the origin, function, and price all clearly indicated.
This amazed him.
The fact that cultivators' items could be sold in this way really refreshed his understanding.
You have to know that practitioners have all kinds of strange abilities. Not to mention stealing and robbing, who can discover if they quietly absorb the energy from some treasures
Even if there is a clerk watching over each shelf, how capable can the clerk be? And with so many customers, he may not be able to take care of everything.
But these were not his concern, so he just picked up a small detour and started reading.
Sure enough, the quality here is much better than that of the stalls outside, but the price is also twice as expensive, costing twenty silver dimes, and the better ones cost thirty silver dimes.
"Hello, would you like to buy some small detours? In addition to the ones here, we also have fine products in the counter inside."
A shop assistant came over, she was a pretty girl, dressed very coolly.
Chen Lin took a few more glances. He had been looking at those head-lifting monsters in Tou Country for so long that he couldn't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness anymore. He needed to rest his eyes.
“Is there anything better than fine products?”
Chen Lin retracted his gaze and asked tentatively.
He didn't see the one-armed man walking around on the shelf and thought there was no one there. From what he said, it seemed that the higher-end items were not on display.
"Better?"
The clerk glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Do you want to buy the One-Armed Detour?"
Chen Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Yes, this small detour is still a little weak. The one-arm detour is barely enough. Of course, it would be better if there were a more advanced one."
Chen Lin continued to test.
The clerk shook his head and said, "I don't make the decision. If you want to go around with one arm, you need to go to the second floor. However, the second floor requires identity verification, and only VIPs of our store are eligible to go up."
The other party's words surprised Chen Lin even more. This place has a VIP system. It seems that if you are not a VIP, they will not sell it to you even if you have money.
This business is worthy of being the largest store in the capital.
Chen Lin glanced at Lvliu, who immediately took out a token from the bag around her waist and said, "This Mr. Lin is a friend of Princess Qinghua."
The clerk took a look at the token and was about to speak when he saw a middle-aged man running hurriedly from behind.
With a big smile on his face, he walked up to Chen Lin and the other two and said to Lvliu, "It turns out to be Miss Lvliu. Why didn't you say hello to me when you came? Isn't this a neglect?"
Then he bowed to Chen Lin again and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Lin is the princess' friend, he is our most distinguished guest. Please go upstairs!"
Chen Lin was not surprised by the other party's attitude. After all, Princess Qinghua's status was there. However, he was surprised that the other party could recognize the maid Lvliu at a glance. It seemed that Lvliu was not an ordinary maid, but Princess Qinghua's confidant.
Princess Qinghua placed a confidant by his side, but no one knew what her purpose was.
While thinking, Chen Lin was taken to the second floor by the middle-aged man.
This floor does not have a self-service selection system, and there are not even shelves or counters. There are only small private rooms, and they were taken to one of them.
"This Mr. Lin is a friend of Princess Qinghua, so we must treat him well!"
The middle-aged man gave an order to a dignified woman, then apologized to Chen Lin and the other man and went back downstairs.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. What treasure would you like to buy?"
The woman's voice is soft and gives people a very comfortable feeling.
Chen Lin immediately stated his intention, and then the other party walked out of the box and came back with a box after a while.
Placing the box on the table, the woman said solemnly, "Since Master Lin specifically requested this item, you must be very familiar with its characteristics. But I still need to explain. This item can cause great damage to creatures with one arm or no arms. Even those with supernatural powers will find it difficult to resist. The effective range is three meters, so if you don't have a complete arm, you must not open the box."
