The Lord of Qinghua County was going to risk everything, and Chen Lin couldn't say anything. However, if the other party sold all his property, he would have no place to live, and he would have to rent or buy a house.
Having reached cooperation terms with the Pavilion of All Things and without any unlawful acts, he planned to live here permanently, trying to use his arms to move around to refine soul-refining pills, and then continue to look for more advanced moving beasts.
At this point, he no longer had any hope of getting the quota to use the Soul Refining Pool that Princess Qinghua had promised him, and wanted to see if he could get it through other means.
Just when Chen Lin found a place to live, Princess Qinghua also sold the entire princess mansion and bought a small courtyard for temporary residence.
The household slaves and servants were also dismissed, causing a great sensation in the city.
This is a case of failure or death.
If the advancement is successful, he will transform into a dragon and become a powerful Gintama who even the emperor has to treat politely. If he fails, he will disappear from the public eye and be lost in the world.
Chen Lin admired the other party's courage, but he didn't think he could succeed.
After such a long time, he has a thorough understanding of the matter of soul fusion. This ceremony is similar to a cultivator's breakthrough to a great realm. In terms of level, it is roughly equivalent to the advancement of Nascent Soul to Divine Transformation, which is an improvement in the level of life.
If you fail the first time, you basically lose hope.
Moreover, even if the other party sold their property, they could only gather the resources needed for the ceremony. Without the support of the country, I don't know how they would gather so many "spiritual guides". It would probably be difficult to rely solely on a large reward.
But these are not what he needs to worry about. It is good enough that he did not ask the other party for the reward of the magical treasure box.
"Sir, do you think His Highness will succeed this time?"
In the small courtyard purchased by Chen Lin, Lvliu looked worried.
To Chen Lin's surprise, Princess Qinghua gave him Green Willow. He didn't want it at first, but when he thought that he had to rely on Princess Qinghua's name for the time being, and having Green Willow with him would be a proof, he agreed.
"I don't know about this either. I don't understand the method of soul fusion, so I can't judge. But since the princess did this, she must have some confidence!"
Chen Lin did not attack the other party, but comforted him.
Lvliu still had a worried look on her face. She knew a lot about Rong Ling's affairs and knew that there was little hope for her master.
If you fail, you will never be able to go back.
Chen Lin was in no mood to bother with the other party, so he asked him to tidy up the house. After telling him not to disturb him, he went back into the house and started to decorate it.
It was not too complicated. He simply set up an isolation formation to prevent anyone from spying on his practice and alchemy. He also set up an early warning formation and a defensive formation. Both were set up with formation symbols and only served as a warning.
Then he began to prepare to make the elixir.
He had previously given the Wanwu Pavilion five soul-refining pills, as well as the reward for cooperating with it. The Wanwu Pavilion directly gave him a one-armed detour and a two-armed detour.
This is already full of sincerity.
After all, the value of the Double Arms Circling was extremely exaggerated, and it was for this thing that he took the risk of taking out the Soul Refining Pill and cooperating with the other party.
Chen Lin took out the box containing the arms circling around him, but did not dare to open it.
According to the owner of the Wanwu Pavilion, this item is fatal to creatures with arms or lower. No matter how strong the soul is, as long as it does not reach the Gintama level, there is no immunity.
And if the four arms were to go around, even the strong ones of Gintama would not be able to touch them.
It is said that a long time ago, a powerful Gintama warrior died after coming into contact with the Four-Arms Orbit. It was precisely because of this that the Sima family was able to dominate the Soul Kingdom.
Chen Lin believed this statement.
This item releases rule-based abilities, and it is estimated that those below the level of Immortal will find it difficult to be fully immune to them.
However, all things in the world are interdependent and mutually restrained. Often, where a certain thing is born, something that restrains it will also be born.
The Soul Country is rich in a peculiar ore that has neither energy fluctuations nor can be used to refine treasures, but it has a shielding effect on the breath of orbiting beasts. After it was discovered, it became the material for making containers to hold orbiting beasts.
It is precisely because of this kind of container that items such as the circumnavigator can circulate on the market.
However, the more advanced the orbiting beast, the stronger the aura it releases, and the higher the purity requirements of the material of the container.
In addition, although the range and intensity of the effect increase several times or even dozens of times with each level up of the circumnavigation beast, it also has a flaw, which is that its movement speed is slow, comparable to a snail, and its breath can be sensed in advance, so as long as you don't do anything stupid, the danger is not high, just go around it.
That's why it's called a circumambulator.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin put the box away.
If you want to use this thing, you have to prepare it. You need to find a safe place to kill it. And because this thing has to be used immediately after it dies, you have to study the recipe first.
Naturally, one still has to rely on luck and alchemy.
His idea was that since the main material had been upgraded from one-arm circumvention to two-arm circumvention, all auxiliary materials had to be upgraded accordingly.
It was according to this concept that he had completed the incomplete recipe for the Fortune Pill. He believed that it should be successful this time, but how much the level of the auxiliary materials needed to be improved would require testing bit by bit.
But this is easy to deal with. It can be judged based on the degree to which the thread of destiny is cut off. Anyway, as long as we can finally correct the thread of destiny from failure to success, that will be enough.
But there is a difficulty.
He has no shortage of other auxiliary materials, and his reserves can be said to be abundant, but he does not have many time-related materials.
The Time Sand in my hand now is reserved for refining the authentic pill recipe. Not only is it a waste to use it in this kind of experiment, but the energy intensity is too high and it is impossible to achieve a balance between the materials, so it is bound to fail.
There are some ordinary Time Snails as well. Although they are all dead, they have not rotted when placed in the storage bag. I just don't know if they can meet the requirements for refining.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin put away his distracting thoughts, put away the box, and began to deal with the one-armed detour, refining a weakened version of the Soul Refining Pill.
Since I have agreed to cooperate with the Pavilion of All Things and have used their arms to travel around, I must first refine a batch of pills, and then ask the other party to help find if there are any time-related items.
He was familiar with the route, and by dusk, he had used up all his strength to circle around with one arm, and obtained several bottles of elixir.
He left out one bottle and put the rest into the space bag, then put away the formation and walked out of the yard.
"Young Master!"
Lvliu was daydreaming in the yard. When she saw Chen Lin coming out, she stood up immediately, pouting her lips and looking pitiful.
This kind of acting was so exaggerated that Chen Lin couldn't help but smile.
Then he handed the pill bottle to the other party and said, "You want the Soul Refining Pill, right? I'll give you this one. It's a good opportunity to see how it works."
There are ten pills in a bottle. According to his experience, using all of them should bring about some changes in the soul. However, the people here have different body structures from him after all, so it is hard to say whether the expected effect can be achieved.
However, the shopkeeper of Wanwu Pavilion has already appraised it. With his experience, it is impossible for him to be wrong. There is definitely an effect, it is just a matter of how much.
Lvliu immediately showed a look of joy, took the bottle of pills in her hand excitedly, and couldn't wait to open it and check.
Then he poured out a pill and put it directly into his mouth.
Seeing the other party's actions, Chen Lin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, aren't you afraid that I will tamper with the elixir?"
Green Willow's snow-white throat surged, and she swallowed the pill, saying generously: "I now belong to the young master, and you can do whatever the young master wants. What else do you have to worry about?"
After saying that, he closed his eyes, as if feeling the effect of the elixir.
After a while, he opened his eyes again, looked at Chen Lin in shock and said, "Sir, this pill doesn't seem to have any effect."
Chen Lin nodded, walked to the other person, put his hand on his back, and input a magical power.
The other party is just a little maid, not even a master of supernatural powers. It is impossible for her to tell the difference between magic power and supernatural power. There is no need to worry about her noticing anything unusual.
He helped the other party to refine the elixir, and at the same time he could sense the trajectory of the energy generated by the elixir in the other party's body.
Otherwise, if the pill is consumed naturally, not only will most of the medicinal power be wasted, but the time required will also be very long, and it may even be excreted directly from the stool and still be intact.
Even with his help, it still took half an hour.
After all, the other party is just an ordinary person, and we have to consider the endurance of his body and soul.
After the elixir was completely refined, Chen Lin withdrew his hand and said, "Can you sense the traces of the medicinal power running in your body just now?"
Luliu shook her head, looking confused.
"I just felt a cool sensation inside my body, and then my life rope also felt cool, as if something had flowed into my soul bag along the life rope."
Chen Lin nodded and asked, "Do you feel any changes in the soul in the soul capsule now?"
Lvliu obediently closed her eyes, opened them after a while, and then shook her head.
"Sir, is this elixir useless to ordinary people like us?"
Her face was full of disappointment.
The shopkeeper of Wanwu Pavilion valued this elixir so much, thinking that after taking it, one would have the same powers as a supernatural being. Unexpectedly, it only gave a cooling effect.
"ah!"
Just as she said this, Lvliu fell to the ground with a scream, holding her chest and twitching.
Chen Lin was shocked when he saw this.
At this time, he didn't care about the difference between men and women and directly opened the other person's clothes to check.
Then he found a spherical object the size of an egg hanging on the other person's chest. At this moment, some tiny cracks had appeared on the skin, and the object was connected to the body by a life rope.
Needless to say, this is the opponent's soul capsule.
A damaged soul capsule is a fatal thing for the Soul Countrymen. It is probably because he just refined the elixir too quickly and the energy was too intense.
Chen Lin did not dare to delay and immediately took out a small snake. After crushing it to death, he took out the juice and smeared it on the soul bag.
It took three small detours before the other party felt better and stopped wailing in pain.
Then he fainted.
