Putting aside the matters in the spiritual realm for the time being, Chen Lin looked at the last two items.
A roll of bamboo slips and a black object with a strange shape.
These two things are from ancient times. When his Nascent Soul left his body to escape, he carried these strange objects with him, which shows how important they are.
Chen Lin picked it up with a serious expression and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.
He had studied this item before. It was a very rare spiritual treasure of the soul type. It was very powerful, but it was not completed.
He couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, this treasure was not completed, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could defeat the combined forces of the three opponents. Perhaps he would be the one to die, and it would be the opponent's turn to check his storage bag.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin put the object down and picked up the bamboo slips again.
What is recorded here is the method of refining this item, and it is a very special way of inheritance. A special spiritual ban is sealed in the bamboo slip, and when the refining is completed, the spiritual ban needs to be integrated into the treasure using the recorded secret method.
In addition to this special spiritual ban, the jade slip also records seventy-one spiritual bans, all of which are soul-related. Including this one, it is exactly the number of Earthly Fiends.
The more than seventy forbidden spiritual treasures amazed Chen Lin.
His Black Tortoise Shield uses thirty-six spiritual prohibitions, which already makes him feel very complicated, and its upper limit is also extremely high. It has the potential to become a condensed spirit level. This one uses seventy-two, and there is a special one. The power must be stronger, and the upper limit is also higher. It has the potential to become a true spirit level spiritual treasure, and the potential is huge. It can be said that as long as the energy for the spiritual treasure to upgrade is continuously provided, it will inevitably become a true spirit level spiritual treasure!
This was not his guess, but what was described in the bamboo slips.
The reason lies in the special spiritual ban sealed in the bamboo slips. This spiritual ban is condensed from the remnant soul of the true spirit and contains the power of the true spirit's origin.
A true spirit-level spiritual treasure!
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
Even in this upper realm, no one has ever heard of anyone possessing a treasure of this level. The lower realm where he was originally was sealed by a large formation arranged by a true spirit-level magic treasure, and that magic treasure was still in a broken state. This shows how powerful such a treasure is!
Continue to focus on the bamboo slips.
When he was in Xiaoyun City, he had briefly read the contents on the bamboo slips. Now he had to study them carefully and remember all of them.
It took Chen Lin a whole night to comprehend the content and understand it basically.
The treasure has a very strange name, called 'Scholar'.
It was only after seeing the name that he realized that the treasure was actually in the shape of a scholar carrying a box on his back and holding a book in his hand.
I don’t know if it’s because the craftsmanship of Gu Shengjin is not good enough, or if the materials are too high-level to be refined, so it looks very abstract.
Men and women cannot be distinguished.
But since he is called a scholar, he must be a man.
The function of the treasure is very simple. After being activated, the scholar can come to life and help the master fight the enemy.
The reason why it is a soul-type spiritual treasure is that it needs soul power to stimulate, and it also attacks the enemy's soul. Even every time a spiritual ban is engraved, it needs the assistance of a special soul origin, which is very evil.
But this is nothing. Although he is somewhat reluctant to use the souls of cultivators to refine treasures, it is okay to use the souls of evil cultivators and enemies. If it doesn't work, he can go to a special secret place related to the underworld to look for special ghosts.
The Gu family is a bloodline family that focuses on the soul, so it is normal for them to refine soul-type spiritual treasures. And judging from Gu Shengjin's actions, he wants to treat this treasure as his own spiritual treasure.
Now the main body of the treasure has been completed, and more than fifty spiritual bans have been engraved, which is almost done.
However, after Chen Lin comprehended all the contents on the jade slip, he felt embarrassed.
The other party has already completed the spiritual treasure to this extent. If he continues, it will definitely be much easier. However, the spiritual ban is engraved with soul power. Traces of the past and present are left in the treasure. It is difficult for him to control it as he wishes, which will have a huge impact on the future.
What's more, Gu Shengjin treated it as his own spiritual treasure and nurtured it, so the traces were even more serious.
The only way to solve this problem is to remove the engraved spiritual ban, and then use his own soul power to re-engrave it, using the blood refining method to create a living being, so that the traces of the original owner can be washed away.
But this way, it will take a long time.
Clearing the original fifty-plus spiritual bans is a huge project, and the bearing capacity of the treasure body must also be considered. If you are not careful, the body may collapse, and then everything will be lost, and nothing will be gained.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Chen Lin's eyes became firm.
It still needs to be engraved again.
It is better to gain nothing than to keep something with hidden dangers. Anyway, he has no shortage of spiritual treasures now, so he can just take it slow.
After making the decision, he went out to the mission hall of the City Lord's Mansion to see if there were any missions for the Liangyi Plate.
After failing to find it, he found a few cultivators in the late Qi training stage, and in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he asked them to take turns guarding the mission hall. As soon as they found a related mission, they were to contact him immediately using a communication talisman.
After the spiritual contract was signed, he went into seclusion, comprehending the inherited knowledge in the bamboo slips while practicing to improve his cultivation.
A month passed in a flash.
Chen Lin finally understood the contents of the bamboo slips. After making sure that nothing was missing, he began to remove the original spiritual restrictions in the treasure.
This is a slow process. It may take more than a month to clear one, and it is impossible to complete it without several years of hard work. So he is not in a hurry. He spends most of his time practicing and deals with it when he has time.
In a blink of an eye, another year has passed.
Chen Lin finally received the mission information from Liangyi Sect.
"Senior, this is the mission you want. There is only one. And I have inquired. This kind of mission is very rare. If you want to take it, you must do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone else takes it, I don't know how long you will have to wait."
The person in charge of guarding the mission hall at this time was a thin man in his thirties. He was trying his best to please Chen Lin, even to the point of being fawning.
It's not his fault. He practiced for more than 20 years and just reached the eighth level of Qi training. The hardships he went through during that period were beyond description. He thought that this would be his life. He would find a similar low-level female cultivator, start a family, and live the life of an ordinary person.
This was definitely not what he wanted, but he had no choice.
This is fate and cannot be changed by personal will.
But unexpectedly, he was suddenly approached by this senior in front of him and was directly given a Foundation Establishment Pill!
All he needed to do was to stay in this mission hall and keep an eye on a certain mission. If he had not signed a spiritual contract, he would have thought that the other party was a liar.
After confirming that the Foundation Establishment Pill was real, he suddenly felt that his opportunity had come. Not only did he have the chance to become a powerful Foundation Establishment master, but his family would no longer have to live in poverty.
Chen Lin ignored the other party and focused his attention on the content of the task.
"Tianxuanri went to Zhongting Mountain to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Endless Abyss Evil Beast Riot, and killed at least one King-level Evil Beast!"
This task made Chen Lin frown.
The evil beasts in Zhongting Mountain have been rioting for some time, attracting all major forces in the southern part of the continent to participate in the encirclement and suppression. However, it is more than 200,000 miles away from Liangyi City, and it was originally thought that it would not affect here, but unexpectedly such a task would still appear.
Evil beasts are difficult to deal with, let alone when Tianxuanri, the evil beast, is at its most manic and powerful. He does not have the ability to kill a king-level one among countless evil beasts in such a time period.
A king-level evil beast is at least a deity-level existence!
"Okay, I understand. Let's go back."
Chen Lin thought about it for a moment and decided to give up.
No matter how much you want to use the Liang Yi Disk, you can't get it by committing suicide.
"Senior, then..."
The thin man wanted to ask, but didn't dare to, and looked cautious.
Chen Lin smiled calmly and said, "Just keep watching. As long as you guys perform well, you will definitely get some benefits."
The thin man suddenly perked up, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, senior, we will never delay your work. If you need us to do anything else, you can tell us. Although we are weak and can't do anything too advanced, we will definitely do our best!"
He has already decided that he must hold on to this thigh tightly. He is not confident that he can successfully build a foundation with just one foundation-building pill. Whether he can make any achievements on the path of cultivation depends on this time.
"Okay, I will contact you if I need you. Since you are so interested, sign a soul contract with me and become my subordinate. I will provide you with sufficient foundation-building pills to ensure your success in building the foundation, and give you a chance to form a pill.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to be inferior to others. Just follow the previous agreement. As long as you take turns to guard this place for ten years, our contract will end. "
Chen Lin glanced at the thin man, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
He didn't know when he would be qualified to use the Liang Yi Disk, so he needed to find a few subordinates to help him. The other party seemed smart and had a positive and enterprising spirit, so he was a good candidate.
The thin man bowed down without any hesitation and said, "Yang Ziqing greets the master!"
Chen Lin showed a look of satisfaction, took out a soul contract, and formed a contract with the other party.
Although I have been observing him for a year, people's hearts are hidden. To use him as a close friend, a contract must be signed, and it can only be a soul contract and a blood contract. Spiritual contracts are not safe.
"Let's go to where you live and help you build your foundation."
Chen Lin greeted and walked out of the mission hall.
When they got outside, Yang Ziqing led the way carefully, his expression changing constantly.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and took a step back and whispered, "Master, I am only at the eighth level of Qi training now, and my spiritual roots are not very good. I really don't have the confidence to build a foundation now. Should we wait until the ninth level of Qi training?"
Chen Lin was speechless.
Seeing this, Yang Ziqing didn't dare to say anything more.
Although he had gotten to know this senior a little over the past year, and knew that he had a pretty good temper and was definitely not a cruel and brutal demon, otherwise he would not have signed a soul contract. However, as a subordinate he had to have the awareness of a subordinate and could not disobey the orders of his master.
