Chapter 1195 Soul Contract Talisman
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the three entered a hall.
The entire hall was built with a strange ancient wood, exuding a faint fragrance. This fragrance made people feel relaxed and happy.
In the center of the hall, a circle of counters was built around a huge wooden pillar. Behind the counters stood more than a dozen people from the spirit race.
The people of the spirit race looked not much different from the human race. The only difference was that they were short, only about five or six feet tall, and the other was their skin color.
The spirit race, also known as the Nine Spirits, was because this race was born with a tendency to favor a certain spiritual root attribute. Moreover, unlike the human race, the number of people with spiritual roots in the Nine Spirits was one in a thousand. After the Nine Spirits were born, the number of people with spiritual roots reached an astonishing half.
This also explains why the Nine Spirits could become a large clan on the Holy Moon Continent.
The Nine Spirits, who have spiritual root attributes and are biased towards a certain attribute of spiritual roots, will choose to practice the exercises that match their attributes, thereby achieving twice the result with half the effort.
The Nine Spirits are particularly good at magic, and they will be born with several kinds of magic seals at random after they are born. The types and numbers of magic seals are random. Most of the Nine Spirits have less than three kinds of magic seals. Those with more than three are already geniuses, and those with more than six are already evildoers, and will be specially trained as core members of the tribe.
Xiao Lin and his two companions came to a woman of the Spirit Clan. This woman of the Spirit Clan was in the Nascent Soul stage. She had obvious fluctuations of magic power floating on her body. Her skin was light red, and even her long hair was fiery red.
"Are you three together? But do you want to form a team?" After glancing at Xiao Lin and his two companions, the Spirit Clan woman spoke.
"Yes, the three of us already know each other and want to form a team to complete the task." Gu Yin said first. Xiao Lin heard this and did not answer. Under such circumstances, it is naturally good to have two companions to take care of each other.
The key is that he saw that Gu Yin and Zhu Danyu were not bad-hearted, and in this foreign land, he also invisibly brought the few people closer.
The spirit woman nodded, and then began to talk about the mission of the three people.
It turned out that thousands of miles west of Hongshan City, there was a vast mountain range called Anze. The Anze Mountains were still in an uncivilized wilderness, and there were many wild beasts hidden in it.
Of course, this was not the point. The point was that the spirits controlled a first-level immortal vein in the Anze Mountains, and there were miners collecting spirit stones every day, with rich income. It was a rare rich spirit mine in the area controlled by the spirits.
However, recently, many spies from the bone tribe have begun to infiltrate the Anze Mountains, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble. Not only did they kill many spirit people who built caves in the Anze Mountains to practice, but they also sneaked and plotted against the miners who transported spirit stones, resulting in a large loss of spirit stones.
The mission of Xiao Lin and the other two was to go to the Anze Mountains to help guard the first-level spirit vein and kill the spies lurking around.
Of course, as long as three people can kill five Bone Clan spies of the same level, they can rest for a hundred years. If they can kill a powerful cultivator in the Refining Void Realm, they can rest for three hundred years.
If a person kills five Bone Clan members of the same level and a powerful Bone Clan cultivator in the Refining Void Realm, he can be exempted from the mission and regain his freedom. The Spirit Clan will pass the commendation order back to his clan, so that he can get a generous reward from the clan.
Xiao Lin and the other three had already known the goal of this mission and didn't feel anything. After each of them received the mission, they each received a token.
Xiao Lin reached out to take the token. The moment the token was in his hand, his face suddenly changed. It turned out that the spirit vein had penetrated directly into Xiao Lin's palm, and a flame-shaped mark condensed in his palm.
At this time, Xiao Lin noticed that Gu Yin and Zhu Danyu beside him were the same as himself. They both looked at the Spirit Clan woman with anger on their faces.
Seeing the expressions of the two, the spirit woman smiled and said, "This is a soul contract. Only after killing five cultivators of the same level and one cultivator of the refining realm, their soul power will be absorbed by the soul contract. Then the soul contract marks on the palms of the three will dissipate by themselves, and the three will be free. No matter where they go, no one will interfere."
After a pause, the spirit woman continued, "Before completing the task, you can't get too far away from the Dark Lake Mountains, otherwise it will trigger the soul thunder flash secret thunder technique inside. Under the explosion, even the soul of the cultivator at the peak of the refining realm will not have the slightest chance of survival."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin and the other two couldn't help but look ugly.
This is basically control, but even if the three knew it, it seemed that they had no choice. Xiao Lin couldn't help but glance at a spirit who was sitting cross-legged not far away. The aura of this person was like the abyss of the sea. Just looking at him, Xiao Lin felt a sense of fear.
Xiao Lin knew that if the three of them resisted or disobeyed, they would be killed by this person immediately.
"But you don't need to worry. This soul contract symbol has another function. We, the people of the spirit race, can contact you through the soul contract symbol. When the war is over or the matter in the Dark Lake Mountains is over, we will notify you through the soul contract symbol and return to Hongshan City."
"Thank you." After thanking her, Gu Yinyin left the hall with Xiao Lin and Zhu Danyu.
"Brother Xiao, Gu suggested that before we set off to the Anze Mountains, we should stay in Hongshan City for a few days to familiarize ourselves with the environment here, and at the same time buy some necessary items. The most important thing is to buy some items from the Anze Mountains. Map and learn more.”
"Brother Gu is right, I also think we should stay here for a few days."
Xiao Lin nodded and also expressed his agreement.
"How about this, we act separately, and we meet at the gate of the West City three days later, and then we go to the Anze Mountains together?" Xiao Lin said after thinking for a while.
"That's very good." When Gu Yin and Zhu Danyu heard this, they both nodded in agreement.
The three of them soon separated. Xiao Lin thought for a moment before heading towards the mountain.
This Hongshan City is surprisingly large, and logically, the closer to the top of the mountain, the higher the quality and grade of the items sold.
Sure enough, as Xiao Lin expected, after a long time, Xiao Lin came to a square. It turned out to be an open-air market where people of various races were setting up stalls to sell items.
Among them, the majority are from the Spirit Tribe, followed by the Lingjia Tribe and the Dwarf Earth Tribe. In addition, there are many strange races.
"Monster clan?" Xiao Lin's face suddenly condensed. He saw a stall owner in front of him, who was a graceful woman, but Xiao Lin smelled a strong demonic aura from her body.
This really surprised him. After ascending to the spirit world, Xiao Lin had never seen a demon clan before. He didn't expect to see a real demon clan in Hongshan City.
Xiao Lin took a few hurried steps and came to the woman.
"Fellow Taoist, the map here is all-inclusive. As long as it is in the northwest of the Holy Moon Continent, which is an area of tens of billions of miles and spans several domains, the little girl can find corresponding topographic maps here. Of course, there are geographical maps. , there are also detailed maps of the distribution of monsters, and even the distribution maps of various elixirs and spiritual beasts. The little girl has a collection here, but I don’t know what kind of map you want?”
Before Xiao Lin could speak, the woman smiled and introduced the map she was selling.
When Xiao Lin heard this, he did not answer directly, but answered the question: "Is the fairy a member of the demon tribe?"
Xiao Lin had long seen that this girl's state was the same as his own, at the peak of divine transformation, and looking at her body, she seemed to be of the same fox clan as Bai Jiumei in the mortal world.
The woman frowned slightly when she heard Xiao Lin's question: "As a fellow Taoist from the Holy Moon Continent, and also at the peak of God Transformation, don't you know about our Monster Clan?"
Xiao Lin was stunned, shook his head and said: "I really don't know about the existence of your demon clan. Is this strange?"
When the woman heard this, she suddenly grinned: "No, no, it seems that fellow Taoist must be a native of the human race and has not traveled on the mainland. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible that even our demon race has never heard of it."
"Haha, I guess he came from the countryside. Judging from his appearance, he should be from the human race in the northwest corner. It's normal if he has never seen the world." At this time, there was a short man in his thirties with a blue face in the stall next to the woman. He spoke up and interjected.
"Shut your stinky mouth and don't offend my client." The woman turned her face and looked at the Spirit Tribe beside her. Her face suddenly became gloomy and she said angrily.
"Uh~" The spirit clan member hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.
The woman turned her head and looked at Xiao Lin with a strange look in her eyes. Her face turned into a smile: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be angry. If you have never been to the Beitian Broken Realm, then you have never heard of the Monster Clan. It’s not surprising, I will know about it in the future, but do you need to buy some maps?”
Xiao Lin nodded when he heard this: "I want to buy some maps of the Anze Mountains. The more detailed the better, including the distribution of ferocious beasts, terrain and corresponding distribution of some elixirs. Of course, the most important thing is the Anze Mountains." A detailed map of the first-order immortal spirit vein in the Ze Mountain Range."
When the woman heard this, her eyes wandered, and she said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you have found the right place. During this period, there are more monks buying maps of the Anze Mountains. Many stalls are basically out of stock, and the little woman just came here. I have finished recording a batch of maps, and they happen to be about the Anze Mountains.”
As the woman spoke, she selected four jade slips from a pile and handed them to Xiao Lin.
"These four jade slips record the distribution of spiritual veins, elixirs, ferocious beasts, and detailed landform maps in the Anze Mountains. However, due to the recent demand for maps of the Anze Mountains, the price is also high. Each jade slip is upgraded to 200 middle-grade spiritual stones, for a total of 800 medium-grade spiritual stones."
This price is already very high. You must know that two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Xiao Lin did not counter-offer. With a wave of his sleeve, a small pile of colorful mid-grade spiritual stones was piled at the woman's feet.
After a brief sweep of her spiritual consciousness, and after confirming that the number of spiritual stones was correct, the woman immediately handed the four jade slips to Xiao Lin with a smile on her face.
The woman originally thought that the other party would bargain, but she didn't expect that after the other party heard the price, he paid the spirit stone without even frowning, which really made her feel a little annoyed. If she knew that she had met a big customer, the price It should be higher.
Xiao Lin took the jade slip, put it into the star ring, bowed his hand to the woman, and then left.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait."
When Xiao Lin heard this, he turned around and was about to leave, then turned back again: "What else can you do, Fairy?"
"Do you have time tomorrow?" The woman said, and a flash of light appeared on her hand, revealing a snow-white jade plate.
Xiao Lin saw a figure engraved on the snow-white jade plate at a glance. When he saw the figure, Xiao Lin's face changed, and his eyes flashed with shock.
"If you want to talk in detail, please read the message in the jade plate first." After the woman handed the jade plate to Xiao Lin, she turned around to greet the other guests and ignored Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin took the jade plate, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the depths of the market, and soon disappeared.
At this time, the woman looked at the direction where Xiao Lin disappeared, and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, revealing a hint of smile.
The market in Hongshan City is surprisingly large, and those who set up stalls here are at least above the Jindan stage, which really surprised even Xiao Lin.
You have to know that a Yuanying cultivator is at least an ancestor in the clan, not to mention the Shenhua realm.
In fact, the cultivators who set up stalls in this market are all at a high level. More than 90% are cultivators in the Golden Core Realm, and the rest are basically cultivators in the Nascent Soul and Spiritualization stages. Of course, the items they sell are all treasures.
Most of the cultivators who strolled in this market were cultivators in these three realms.
But after walking around the market, Xiao Lin did not find any items that caught his eye. After a little thought, he roughly understood that after buying items at the [Nine Spirits Immortal Treasure Pavilion], Xiao Lin found that it was basically difficult to arouse his interest in ordinary items outside.
After buying a few more maps about the Dark Ze Mountains, Xiao Lin hurriedly left the market and found an inn nearby to stay.
In the room, Xiao Lin held a crystal jade token in his hand, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
It turned out that when the fox woman took out the jade token, he saw the figure on it at a glance, and the appearance was exactly the same as Bai Jiumei.
No wonder he was very surprised.
If the woman on the jade card is really Bai Jiumei, then it means that the fox woman who set up the stall earlier is also likely to be a member of the Nine-Tailed Clan, and she is also in contact with the Nine-Tailed Clan in the lower world.
In fact, the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong where Xiao Lin is located has ancestors. Among the four regions, Xiao Lin even knows two of them, but he did not go to seek relatives, but chose to practice quietly in a low-key manner.
In his opinion, his current realm is insignificant at all. Without equal strength, others may not treat him sincerely based on a sect relationship.
Of course, after ascending just now, he was seriously injured, the origin of life was opened, the origin was constantly lost, the sea of consciousness was sealed, and the many secrets on him made him not easily trust others.
