Chapter 1330 Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron
After seeing Fa Yan's qualifications, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a desire to love talents.
He understood that if Fa Yan stayed in Xinghai Xiancheng, although Xinghai Xiancheng had abundant cultivation resources, unless he encountered a great opportunity, Fa Yan's qualifications would probably be buried. In this case, it would be a loss for the human race.
But Xiao Lin did not intend to accept him as a disciple directly. The qualifications of a cultivator are important, but the character is more important.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin said, "Do you really want to become my disciple?"
"Yes, please help me, Master."
"I can temporarily accept you as a registered disciple. One day, when you can condense your Nascent Soul, you can officially become my disciple." Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said.
"Thank you, Master." Fa Yan was overjoyed when he heard this and was about to kneel down again.
But he was stopped by Xiao Lin with a wave of his sleeves.
"No need to be polite. Since I accept you as my registered disciple, it means that you are qualified to join my sect. However, if you have a bad character in the future and do something against the immortal way, I will still expel you from my sect."
"I will follow the master's teachings."
Fayan's face was solemn, and he bowed to Xiao Lin. This time Xiao Lin did not stop him, but accepted his greeting calmly.
"Okay, now you follow me to the ancient cave you mentioned." Xiao Lin took Fayan and left Xinghai Immortal City. Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and a large piece of dark green spiritual light wrapped Fayan. Then the light flashed, and it turned into a long rainbow and shot towards Xingfu Mountain, and soon disappeared.
A few days later, Xiao Lin and Fayan appeared above a strange mountain range.
"Is it here?" Xiao Lin looked down and frowned slightly. In his spiritual sense exploration, he did not see any cave.
According to Fayan's description, the location is indeed nearby.
"Master, the location of the ancient cave is right under the ancient pine tree." Fa Yan looked at it for a moment, and suddenly showed a happy expression on his face, pointing to an ancient pine tree standing on the side of the mountainside of a mountain below.
This ancient pine tree is unusually thick and grows diagonally on the hillside. It is dozens of feet high and almost covers an area of several acres.
Xiao Lin immediately activated the escape light and shot towards the ancient pine tree. The two came to the back of the ancient pine tree. At this time, Xiao Lin saw a piece of bark as tall as a person behind the ancient pine tree. It was a little strange. He felt something in his heart, stretched out his hand, and gently pressed it on the bark.
The bark immediately glowed with green light, and then a series of light patterns emerged from the bark, and then the bark suddenly flashed with green light and disappeared.
Instead, there was a portal as tall as a person.
"The wood grain hiding method?" Xiao Lin said in surprise. Xiao Lin had heard of this wood grain hiding method before. It is a wood-related magical power, which is several times more advanced than the wood escape technique. It can hide in the body of plants at any time, without a shadow or form, and will not emit any breath. Even the spiritual consciousness of the immortal cultivator cannot detect it.
However, this magical power also has a disadvantage, that is, once it is touched or moved by itself, it will lose its effectiveness and be detected by the spiritual consciousness of the immortal cultivator.
This is also the reason why Xiao Lin's powerful spiritual power could not find this door after repeated searches.
"Let's go in." Xiao Lin said, and then walked into the door first. Fa Yan followed Xiao Lin and stepped into the door.
There was a downward staircase in the door. As the two walked, green lights were lit up around them.
After walking down for a hundred feet, the passage became straight, and above this passage, green lights flashed, illuminating the entire corridor.
"Master, the furnace tripod is just ahead." Fa Yan seemed to have figured out the direction and pointed to the front.
Xiao Lin continued to walk forward. After walking for a cup of tea, his eyes suddenly lit up. The two of them appeared in the belly of a mountain. In the center of the mountain stood a emerald green tripod several feet high, and on the body of the tripod, there was a blazing green spiritual light.
"It is indeed a tripod for refining soul tools." Xiao Lin's face was delighted. This furnace tripod exuded powerful soul power. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. Although Xiao Lin did not buy the furnace tripod he liked during this period, he had seen many of them. In comparison, the furnace tripods he saw for refining soul tools were nothing at all. The soul power emitted from those furnace tripods was less than one tenth of this treasure tripod.
However, Xiao Lin soon discovered that in the belly of the mountain, there was a green light curtain that divided the mountain into two, just separating them from the furnace tripod.
Obviously, the restriction Fa Yan mentioned was this light curtain.
"Master, this green light curtain is very powerful. I used all my means back then, but I couldn't shake it at all. I was also seriously injured by its recoil force. It took me half a day to recover." Fa Yan explained beside him, with fear in his eyes. It was obvious that the situation back then was still vivid in his mind, which made him shocked.
Xiao Lin nodded, came to the green light curtain, and looked at it carefully.
After watching for a while, Xiao Lin suddenly slapped the beast ring on his waist. With a black light, Xiao Hei, who looked like a big dog, appeared in front of the light curtain.
The sudden scene scared Fa Yan, but he reacted quickly. After seeing Xiao Hei's appearance, he immediately realized that the big dog-like guy in front of him should be the spiritual pet trained by his master.
Xiao Hei glanced at Fa Yan, showing a bit of pride, and then turned to look at the light curtain.
He raised his head and came to the light curtain. In Fa Yan's surprised eyes, he bit the light curtain directly. A strange scene appeared. The green light curtain was bitten off by Xiao Hei, and the missing light curtain did not close by itself. Instead, Xiao Hei bit it again and again, and soon a gap as high as a person appeared.
This scene made Fa Yan stunned. Although his cultivation was not high, he still knew basic common sense. This kind of immortal law restriction was not only powerful, but usually repaired itself or attacked the enemy after being attacked. But what happened in front of him overturned his cognition.
Xiao Lin did not explain anything, but went straight through the gap and walked to the furnace.
"Ong~"
A circle of green light suddenly came out from the furnace, and Xiao Lin's face changed. He stepped back several steps in succession. He felt that his soul was trembling after being swept by the green light.
This not only did not make him frightened, but also showed a surprised expression.
The furnace spontaneously emitted soul-breaking divine light, which showed that its grade was not low, at least it was a high-level furnace.
"Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron?"
Xiao Lin saw several ancient seals standing on the side of the furnace. The reason why he was so surprised was not the rows of small characters next to the name of the furnace. These small characters explained the origin and function of the Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron.
Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron, an eighth-level treasure, can not only refine soul weapons below the eighth level, but also has the ability to refine souls. Below it are hundreds of small words explaining the ability to drive law enforcement and refine souls, but it is a bit obscure and difficult to understand. Xiao Lin took a quick look and didn't understand it, but there is one thing he can be sure of, that is, this Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron is fully capable of meeting his requirements for refining a third-level defensive soul weapon.
The eighth-level treasure cauldron made Xiao Lin gasp in his heart. This eighth-level treasure cauldron can refine any soul weapon except that it can't refine a ninth-level soul weapon.
Not to mention its soul refining ability, just being able to refine soul weapons below the ninth level is enough to make it extremely precious.
Xiao Lin looked at the treasure cauldron, and his heart suddenly moved. He saw him point out, and a pure magic power hit the Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron. At the same time, Xiao Lin's divine consciousness also swept towards the treasure cauldron. When Xiao Lin's divine consciousness swept into the treasure cauldron, it actually penetrated into it without any hindrance.
Xiao Lin suddenly had a strange feeling.
"Small~~" Xiao Lin silently chanted in his heart, and then the Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron actually shrank a circle by itself.
"Small, small, small~" Xiao Lin continued to chant in his heart, and the Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron continued to shrink under his silent chanting, and in the blink of an eye it became a palm-sized green crystal small cauldron.
Xiao Lin waved slightly, and the small cauldron immediately shot down into Xiao Lin's palm, emitting a glittering green light.
"Congratulations, Master, for getting this Soul Refining Cauldron." Fa Yan came over at some point, with a surprised expression on his face. It was obvious that the size of the Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron surprised him greatly.
Although he didn't know what the grade of this treasure cauldron was, he was also very happy when he saw the joyful expression on his master's face. This meant that this cauldron must have made the master very satisfied. In this way, it was also a meaningful thing for the master.
"This precious tripod is indeed a superior furnace for refining soul tools. You did a great job. This ancient cave was originally discovered by you. I shouldn't compete with you for the opportunity..."
"Master, this is what I am willing to pay tribute to you. Besides, even if I were to give it to you, I wouldn't be able to use it."
Xiao Lin nodded and said, "It's rare that you are so kind. I accept it. This precious tripod is indeed very useful to me, but I am not a person who only takes and does not give. When you advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I will give you a finished soul tool as compensation for today."
"Thank you, Master." Fa Yan hurriedly saluted, and he was overjoyed. Not to mention that he knew the value of a soul tool, Xiao Lin's words were also a recognition of himself, which also meant that from now on, he was no longer a humble cultivator wandering in the alien area, but had a master, and at the same time, he could go further on the immortal path.
"Will you come with me?" Xiao Lin did not stop. After collecting the Ruyi Soul Refining Cauldron, he continued to walk inside. Because there were several stone chambers on the inner side of the mountain, Xiao Lin wanted to know who the owner of this cave was.
Soon Xiao Lin came to a stone chamber. The stone door was flashing with five-colored spiritual light. Xiao Lin knew immediately that this was the Five Elements Forbidden Technique, which was also a common forbidden technique in the world of immortal cultivation. This forbidden technique had no ability to defend against enemies, but was more for guarding against insects, mosquitoes, snakes, ants, etc.
Xiao Lin pinched the spiritual formula and cast a series of seals. The five-colored spiritual light on the stone chamber quickly dissipated. As Xiao Lin pushed out one hand into the air, the stone door opened.
As the stone door opened, a strong musty smell rushed out. A dark green spiritual light appeared in front of Xiao Lin, blocking the musty smell. Then Xiao Lin saw the scene in the stone chamber.
A huge skeleton sitting cross-legged, and next to it, there was a strange corpse. The strange corpse had a pair of half-foot-long hands inserted into the ribs of the skeleton, and the skeleton did not seem to move or struggle.
Xiao Lin immediately understood.
"A member of the Shenlian tribe?" Looking at the skeleton sitting cross-legged, Xiao Lin immediately recognized that only the huge body of the Shenlian tribe could have such a skeleton.
The corpse next to it looked strange, and it seemed to be a demon cultivator who revealed his true form after his death.
It was obvious that this demon attacked from behind and killed this Shenlian tribe member, but it seemed that this Shenlian tribe member did not resist. Why did this demon die?
Xiao Lin walked in curiously, came to the two skeletons, and observed them carefully.
"Soul explosion?" After observing for a moment, Xiao Lin's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed.
It turned out that everything around him was intact, but Xiao Lin noticed that there were dense pinholes on the skull of the Shenlian clan, which reminded Xiao Lin of the legendary soul explosion.
The so-called soul explosion is that the cultivator pours all his own soul power into the soul weapon at the moment of life and death, and then detonates the soul weapon. Under the soul explosion, a soul-destroying space will be formed within a certain range. If you fail to leave this range in time, you will be penetrated by the soul explosion.
This soul explosion power does not cause any harm to the cultivator's body, but it is fatal to his soul. You must know that the soul explosion is several times more terrifying than the self-destruction of the soul. The power of the soul will be multiplied by the blessing of the soul weapon.
Anyone who is within the range of the soul-destroying space will have no way to survive unless the realm gap is huge.
Obviously, after the demon cultivator succeeded in the sneak attack, he did not expect that the Shenlian tribe member would directly explode. Caught off guard, his soul was immediately annihilated, and he ended up dying together.
But Xiao Lin soon had another question. If this cave was owned by this Shenlian tribe member, then the demon cultivator would not have been unprepared to enter this place. If he had been prepared, how could he have been attacked?
Xiao Lin was puzzled.
After exploring the surroundings, he did not find anything useful. Even the star rings of the owners of the two skeletons were not seen by Xiao Lin.
After confirming that there were no other clues, Xiao Lin turned and left the stone chamber, and came to a stone chamber next to it. After breaking the five elements of spiritual light, Xiao Lin opened the stone door.
As the stone door opened, various spiritual lights immediately appeared and shot out. It was seen that the stone chamber was full of spiritual stones, but Xiao Lin only glanced at it and turned to the third stone chamber.
It turned out that the spirit stones in the stone chamber were all low-grade spirit stones, and there was not even a single medium-grade spirit stone. With Xiao Lin's current vision, he naturally looked down on these low-grade spirit stones. Moreover, these low-grade spirit stones seemed to be numerous, but in reality, they were only a few hundred thousand at most.
Xiao Lin came to the third stone chamber, but saw a strange pattern on the stone door.
