Chen Lin helped the royal family refine a batch of low-level soul-refining pills, and in exchange for refining three fourth-level soul-refining pills for the emperor himself, in exchange for a four-armed detour.
He originally wanted to bargain, but Princess Qinghua said that there were only two four-armed beasts left in the treasury, and apart from these two, there were probably no more in the entire Soul Kingdom.
Chen Lin felt pressured when he heard this.
The origin of the circumnavigating beasts is a special area in the northern part of the Soul Country. There are many low-level ones, but very few three-armed and four-armed ones, especially the four-armed ones. It may take several years or even decades for one to appear.
He can't wait.
So after getting the Four-Armed Saber, he began to retreat and concentrate on refining pills.
This time he did not leave the Prince's Mansion. Since he had reached an agreement with the emperor, he did not need to hide anymore. Moreover, with Princess Qinghua to help him protect him, his safety would be much higher.
Of course, to be on the safe side, he still let Xiaocao out.
In the room, Chen Lin processed the four arms around, and this time he did not divide them, but decided to use them as a whole.
In fact, in the original recipe, the Eight-Arm Circumvention Movement needs to be used as a whole, but the recipe of Qiyun Alchemy requires it to be divided.
Since the number of orbiting beasts has increased, the use of time and shadow materials will naturally increase as well. Other auxiliary materials must also be allocated in proportion.
Then Chen Lin discovered something.
According to his calculations, the power of time contained in the number of blood crystals given by Sima Liancheng just matches the demand!
This made him extremely surprised and suspicious.
He absolutely did not believe that this was a coincidence. The other party must have seen something through the magical screen.
And this person should not be just a "material person", perhaps there is some secret.
But he couldn't imagine what kind of help a dead person might need from him in the future.
"Could it be that the other party is not really dead, or is able to maintain his spiritual consciousness and let his soul enter the underworld, so that I can meet him again in the future?"
After thinking for a while without any idea, Chen Lin put away his distracting thoughts and started to make preparations.
There is only enough material for one use, so there can be no room for error.
In order to ensure that the power of luck was sufficient, he took out all the golden crabs and the big lobster, ready to replenish them at any time.
When everything was ready, he manifested the thread of destiny.
This ability has been used countless times and he has become extremely proficient at it. As soon as he thinks about it, a ray of light begins to brighten, but a large section in the middle is broken.
Despite this, Chen Lin showed joy.
It was just broken, not that the second half was missing. This meant that this method was theoretically feasible, but for various reasons, he was unable to successfully refine it.
He picked up a golden crab and swallowed it raw to ensure that the power of luck would not be lost.
While eating, he tried to gather the energy and use his tentacles to move the lines. It took him four golden crabs to achieve the desired result, and he struggled to reconnect the broken lines.
Then, the image faded and disappeared in my mind.
Although he was about to collapse, Chen Lin did not dare to relax. He concentrated on controlling the alchemy furnace and did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.
Even if the destiny line is corrected, you still have to continue refining it according to the expected method. It is impossible to succeed out of thin air.
But now that I have a foundation, I don't feel so tense anymore.
Put the materials in step by step and control the flame. Soon, the furnace trembled slightly, and a round pill condensed into shape!
Chen Lin was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to take the pill.
After observing it carefully, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. It seems that it is the right way to use the complete orbiting beast to refine the pill. In the past, if the orbiting beast was divided, no matter what level it was, the pills refined would be bumpy and look very bad.
Although using one's innate ability to make pills was very reliable, blood crystal was used as the material after all. So Chen Lin still cautiously found a death row prisoner, scraped off some powder and asked the other party to help him test the medicine.
After observing for several days and making sure it was correct, he began to swallow and refine it.
Sure enough, as he had speculated before, the efficacy of the pill became stronger as the amount of materials increased. In other words, this was the normal medicinal power of the fourth-level soul refining pill, and the previous ones were castrated versions.
The medicinal power was introduced into the soul, and the powerful "squeezing force" immediately caused the silver light particles to twist and vibrate. However, because they had already been condensed to the extreme and could not be compressed any further, the light particles began to penetrate each other and merge.
This scene made Chen Lin overjoyed.
Immediately increase the supply of medicinal power to allow the light particles to merge quickly.
Time passes by little by little.
Just when all the medicinal effects were about to run out and Chen Lin's heart was lifted again, he felt his soul 'tremble', and then his whole body 'swelled'!
He suddenly felt that the pond was too small to accommodate a big fish like him.
There is also a feeling that all living beings are ants and I am above it all.
Chen Lin casually pointed at the void, and a beam of pure silver light shot out. Wherever it passed, the void vibrated and distorted.
At the same time, spiritual awareness, mental power, perception and all other abilities related to the soul have been greatly improved.
Although he has not advanced to the God Transformation stage and does not understand the situation of the God Transformation stage, he feels that in terms of soul strength alone, Gintama's level is probably slightly better.
suddenly.
Chen Lin, who was conducting an experiment, had a feeling that someone seemed to be looking towards him!
This suddenly woke him up, and the detached feeling instantly disappeared. He quickly gathered his spirit and carefully "hid" himself.
There are gods in this place. Even if he makes it big, he is still under the control of the other party. It is better to keep a low profile.
After his mind and spirit were calmed, the feeling of being watched disappeared.
Chen Lin's expression changed for a while. He felt that he could not stay here any longer and had to leave as soon as possible.
Although he believed that the remnant of the god's spirit should be subject to some kind of restrictions and could only use its power on the day of welcoming the spirit, he could not guarantee it, and he could not gamble with his own life.
Qingfeng Village.
Since he had made the decision to leave as soon as possible, Chen Lin no longer waited. Moreover, with his strength increasing dramatically, he no longer had to worry about anything else, so he came here directly.
"I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not hosting you well. Please forgive me!"
A man as tall as an iron tower took a look at his subordinates who had been slaughtered all over, and apologized to Chen Lin trembling all over.
Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to kill his people, he knew that he was no match for him. If he wanted to survive, he could only swallow his anger.
Chen Lin was too lazy to argue with the other party. He stretched out his hand and drew a line in the air. The illusion of the Black Tortoise Shield appeared out of thin air.
He looked at the other person and said coldly: "Hand this thing over to me, and I will spare your life!"
Hei Batian was shocked by Chen Lin's magical skills, but when he saw the objects in the illusion clearly, a strange look appeared on his face.
"Why, do you still want to drink a forfeit if you refuse my toast?"
Chen Lin's voice turned cold.
He had already learned the exact information that the Basalt Shield had last appeared in the other party's hands.
He is not interested in the opponent's life, he only wants the Basalt Shield, but if the opponent does not know what's good for him, he can only search his soul.
"Fellow Daoist, don't force him. Your spiritual treasure is in my hands!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded, and then a thin figure flew over from behind.
Chen Lin was stunned, then he flew back and looked at the woman in black in front of him in surprise.
The other party turned out to be a cultivator!
However, after carefully sensing it, he found that the other party's cultivation was the same as his, only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and he felt slightly relieved.
"Who are you?"
Chen Lin did not get close to the other party just because he was a cultivator. Instead, he became more vigilant.
The woman's head was covered with a veil, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly, but her tone was calm.
She said in a hoarse voice, "This is not the place to talk. Can you follow me into the room and have a chat?"
"No!"
Chen Lin flatly refused, and then said: "It doesn't matter to me who you are. As long as you return my spiritual treasure to me, there will be nothing between you and me."
Although he was somewhat curious as to whether the other party was a cultivator and how he got in, he did not want to have any further contact with him.
The feeling of being watched by someone unknown when he advanced to Gintama made him uneasy. He knew that the gods here might have discovered him. The reason why he did not leave directly and came here was that he was worried that he would not be able to resist the invasion of the black fog in the royal secret place. With the Basalt Shield, his defense could be improved.
The black-clothed woman was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Since you are worried that the village is not safe, let's go outside and find a place to talk. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time. After the talk, I will hand over the Lingbao to you."
"Can."
When Chen Lin heard the other party say this, he did not refuse anymore and flew away directly.
The woman in black glanced at Hei Batian and said without any emotion: "Clean up this place, and no one is allowed to leave the village without my order!"
"yes!"
Hei Batian responded respectfully. The woman glanced in Chen Lin's direction and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
"If you have anything you want to talk about, just do it here!"
Chen Lin landed on the top of a mountain covered with lush trees and spoke calmly to the woman who followed him.
"I wonder if you have found a way to leave this place?"
The woman did not hide anything and directly stated her purpose.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the magic treasure first, and I'll tell you!"
The spatial nodes of the royal secret place are not a secret. As long as you can get in touch with the core members of the Soul Kingdom royal family and those big families, you can find out, so there is nothing to hide.
Besides, he won’t be able to come back after he leaves, so there’s no point in keeping this secret for him.
When the woman heard what Chen Lin said, her eyes suddenly lit up. She reached out and took out the basalt shield from the storage bag and threw it in front of Chen Lin.
Chen Lin reached out to take it, and immediately felt the joy of the spirit of the weapon. A feeling of blood connection emerged in his heart.
This is the benefit of blood refining. No matter how long the treasure has been gone, it will remain inseparable as long as you get it.
He checked it again and found that the shield itself was not seriously damaged, so he put it away.
"The Soul Kingdom's royal family has a secret place. According to legend, there is a space node connected to the outside world in the deepest part of the secret place. However, it is always shrouded in an extremely dangerous black fog. It is definitely impossible for a Yuanying cultivator to enter it. Moreover, this news is only seen in the classics, and I have not verified it myself."
Since the other party did not play any tricks, Chen Lin told him the truth about the space node and reminded him.
"Okay, I've answered all your questions. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. I hope we can meet in the outside world one day!"
Since the other party asked such a question, there was naturally no other way to leave this world. Chen Lin no longer had the intention to continue dealing with the other party and flew away directly.
