The only Soul Stone Appliance House in Claw Frog City is located next to Claw Frog Square in the center of Claw Frog City. The circular square www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is surrounded by a variety of shops and buildings, and three main roads in the city connect it. In the middle of the square, there is a large pool with a diameter of 10 meters, in which sits a huge stone sculpture of a frog, and its large mouth spews out water as thin as a silver snake.

Kong Ye led the Oriental Pegasus to the shop directly opposite the giant frog stone sculpture. It is a small two-story building, the bricks and stones of the building are covered in red paint, and even if you stand at the end of the square, you can make it a striking presence at a glance. On the open-air platform on the second floor, there are two round tables and a stargazing telescope near the wooden railing. In front of the door on the first floor is a handmade portrait of a middle-aged man with a pipe in his mouth, a mustache, and suspenders. There is a long plaque hanging above the door, engraved with the words "Baoli Soul Stone Appliance Workshop".

Kong Ye pushed the door in first, and a crisp bell immediately sounded above his head. Dongfang Tianma stepped into the house, and before the other foot stepped in, the whole person was already stunned by the scene in front of him. I saw that there were shiny metal tables and chairs in the workshop, strange-shaped soul stone tools hanging on the wall, a furnace in the middle, and a bucket room in the corner. At the counter stood a man, the same height as the handmade statue at the door. It turned out that this was the owner of this soul stone appliance house, named Shen Baoli.

Kong Ye walked up to Shen Baoli and said hello, Shen Baoli raised his head, only to find that Dongfang Tianma was there, so he asked Kong Ye, "Who is this?" ”

Kong Ye explained clearly how he met in the noodle restaurant, how Dongfang Tianma was willing to pay for his education, and then he came here because of the turquoise imprinted soul stone. After listening to this, Shen Baoli showed a hospitable smile and said to Dongfang Tianma: "Since you are Kong Ye's great benefactor, then don't be polite, if there is anything that I can use in my store." ”

Dongfang Tianma nodded in favor, and then followed Kong Ye up the stairs to the second floor. On the second floor, there is a different scene, near the platform is placed a square table, on which two soul stone microlenses are bolted, a beach landscape painting hangs on the wall, and a cabinet next to the wall displays various handicrafts, that is, there are miniature humanoid statues and high-fidelity models such as large sailboats, buoyancy boats, and turning. Near the staircase there was a single bed, the pale yellow sheets stained with black stains and a lot of mechanical oil.

Kong Ye walked to the square table and sat down, and said to Dongfang Tianma: "Brother Tianma, you can sit casually, and the results will be available immediately on my side." ”

Dongfang Tianma answered, put the luggage backpack in his hand on the floor, saw that the bed was too dirty and didn't want to sit, and walked to the platform on the second floor to see the scenery. Looking down from here, you can see the whole of Paw Frog Square. In front of the small cabaret theater, dancing girls in gorgeous dresses are smiling like flowers. In front of the candy store next door, a couple is smiling and accepting the heart-shaped gift box handed by the clerk. A patrol of guards hurried by, two of them pressing the pickpocket who had just been caught.

Just when Dongfang Tianma was fascinated, Kong Ye's voice came from behind him, "Brother Tianma! I've checked, and this is a Gale Soul Stone of the genus Tree Wind. Are you going to use it for yourself, or are you going to sell it? If you want to make a move, I can help you find a way. ”

Dongfang Tianma said: "Kong Ye, you know more about the Printed Soul Stone, can you tell me more about it?" ”

Kong Ye sat down and said, "Brother Tianma, what do you want to know?" ”

Dongfang Tianma said: "I heard those two academy students in the noodle shop say what engraving, what does that mean?" ”

Kong Ye carefully wrapped the turquoise soul stone in a brocade cloth and said, "You're talking about soul pattern engraving!" It is a technique that refines the Soul Stone through a furnace and engraves the hidden soul pattern energy in the Soul Stone into the body and soul of a person. If successful, the person who is engraved into the seal will gain the ability in the soul stone, which is commonly known as the soul tattoo master! ”

Hearing the word Soul Tattoo Scholar, Dongfang Tianma immediately remembered the things about Soul Tattoo Scholar mentioned by Teacher Teng Youwen in his lecture. Isn't it true that accepting the power in the soul stone and possessing a special ability that surpasses ordinary people is what I desire now? Thinking of this, he said to Kong Ye without hesitation: "I want to engrave this soul stone, can I do it with you?" ”

Kong Ye said: "There is no problem with this. But with Uncle Baoli's consent, a small job like mine can't be done. And you have to pay a part of the money to the store, and Uncle Baoli will give you a physical examination first to confirm that your physical condition meets the standards of soul pattern engraving. ”

"That's fine." Dongfang Tianma agreed, and followed Kong Ye back to the first floor.

When Shen Baoli heard that Dongfang Tianma was going to carry out soul pattern engraving, he was overjoyed, and immediately conducted a comprehensive physical examination on him, and received fifty silver soul stones from Dongfang Tianma. It turns out that on the Leyline Kiss Continent, the trading currency is divided into two types: Golden Soul Stone and Silver Soul Stone, and every hundred Silver Soul Stone is equal to the value of one Golden Soul Stone.

Shen Baoli took the turquoise soul stone from Kong Ye's hand, weighed it with his hand, and asked Dongfang Tianma, "Where do you want to engrave it, palm?" Arm? Or the back? ”

Dongfang Tianma hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It's engraved on the palm of your hand," he said, already rolling up his sleeve and stretching out his right hand.

Shen Baoli then instructed Kong Ye to heat up the furnace, put on gloves himself, and took the tools used to seal the soul pattern from the wall. First, put the turquoise soul stone into the furnace to refine, let the surface of the soul stone crack, revealing the soul mark in it, and then put it into a metal tray to cool. First, use a knife to cut the palm of Dongfang Tianma, take a few drops of blood and drop it on the surface of the soul pattern mark, and after it is completely cooled, directly attach the soul pattern mark to the palm of Dongfang Tianma's cut hand. At this time, the soul mark was completely separated from the soul stone, and was deeply imprinted on the skin of Dongfang Tianma, losing the soul mark mark, and the soul stone was only a pile of broken residue, which was completely packed in a metal tray by the hole leaves, and all of them were poured into the furnace and incinerated into ashes.

Besides, Dongfang Tianma, when he was first engraved with the soul pattern, he felt a tingling pain like a pinprick, especially at the moment when the soul pattern was engraved into the body, as if he had forcibly implanted something into the body. Along with the pain is something hidden in the depths of the soul, a strange feeling that cannot be described, like seeing a certain image and having an illusion of déjà vu, or involuntarily evoking memories of something or something. In the depths of the soul, in the brain, it seems that a part of the new thing has been forcibly instilled, hazy, vague, if there is nothing, like a dream.

Shen Baoli took off his gloves, turned his head and said to Kong Ye: "Take him to the test room to test his ability, don't forget to extinguish the furnace." ”

Kong Ye agreed, led Dongfang Tianma to the front of the room in the corner, and said, "Brother Tianma, do you feel any changes in your body now?" ”

Dongfang Tianma moved his limbs briefly, and then looked down at the soul patterns on his palms. It was a swirl-shaped soul pattern, and it was also a symbol of gale. "Nothing special. ”

Kong Ye said: "If this is the case, it is the best, there were often customers who came to the store to engrave the soul pattern, and after receiving the engraving, they lost consciousness in their hands and feet, or suddenly lost control of their spirits. I'm relieved that you're safe and sound like Brother Tianma. ”

Dongfang Tianma asked: "Uncle Baoli said about the detection ability just now, so what's going on?" ”

Kong Ye said: "Oh! In your current state, you are in the adaptation stage that has just obtained the Printed Seed Soul Stone, and you can't perceive your own Soul Pattern energy. That's why we need to conduct a special test in our equipment house to help you understand and master this power. ”

Dongfang Tianma responded: "I also learned about the knowledge of soul stones in the village school before, and I also know the four abilities of the imprinted soul stones, the talent given by God, the armed by the earth, the spirit of heaven rewarded, and the core of the demon. But what kind of test do I have to pass to know which one I get? ”

Kong Ye pushed open the small door of the room and said, "Let's go in first!" ”

There were two silver-gray leather sofas in the room, and in the middle was a round glass table covered with a black tablecloth, and a handmade wooden bowl with a strange soul stone in it. The reason why it is said to be a peculiar soul stone is because there are four colors on this soul stone, which are red, yellow, blue, and green.

Kong Ye and Dongfang Tianma sat down separately and explained, "First of all, let me talk about several situations that may occur during the process of testing ability. The Soul Stone you see in front of you is called 'Test Soul Stone', and it is a special soul stone that will resonate with the owner of the Printed Seed Soul Stone ability. For example, if your soul pattern is engraved with a green soul stone, then when you bring the soul pattern on your palm close to the test soul stone, the green part of the test soul stone will glow strongly. Next, the test Soul Stone will reflect the type of ability you have mastered based on the soul pattern energy received. If it is a God-given gift, the light will flicker constantly; If it is armed, the light will be extinguished immediately; If it is the Heavenly Appreciation Spirit, the light will be even more dazzling; If it's a Demon Restoration Core, the other three colored parts will also light up at the same time. ”

After listening to the introduction, Dongfang Tianma nodded in understanding, stretched out the palm that had just been engraved with the soul pattern, and slowly approached the test soul stone in the wooden bowl. At first, the test soul stone really lit up with a green part, emitting a beautiful glow like a luminous stone. Then, Dongfang Tianma completely pressed his palm against the test soul stone, feeling as if the temperature in his body had been sucked away by the soul stone. Immediately after, I saw that the green part began to flash constantly.

"It's a gift from God! Brother Tianma, your ability is a god-given talent of the Gale Class. Kong Ye said these words excitedly, and Dongfang Tianma reacted as if he didn't understand.

"According to my experience, if the ability of a Gale Printed Soul Stone is a god-given talent, it should most likely be an ability related to agility." Kong Ye thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's go!" Let's go out to the square and try it. ”

Dongfang Tianma didn't know why, so he had to follow Kong Ye to the wide square outside the Soul Stone Appliance House. With the flow of people coming and going, the noisy noise, Kong Ye stood in front of the giant frog statue and shouted to the Eastern Pegasus, "Let's try running and jumping first!" If it's related to haste, the talent you get should all work on both legs. ”

Dongfang Tianma asked, "But what can I do to unleash the power of the soul pattern?" ”

Kong Ye said: "It's not difficult, as long as you see the soul pattern on your palm as a part of your body, only think about the soul pattern in your heart, and then take a step." ”

"Then I'll give it a try." Dongfang Tianma closed his eyes, the noise in his ears gradually disappeared, and he quietly felt the hidden temperature in his heart, and took a step forward.

Although it was only for a short moment, Dongfang Tianma still noticed the changes in his body. At this time, I only heard Kong Ye's voice coming, "I saw Brother Tianma." There was a gust of wind under your feet just now! It seems that it is indeed a talent for agile. You jump up again and try it! And just like that. ”

Dongfang Tianma nodded vigorously, closed his eyes again, looked for the sensation just now, and jumped up forcefully.

When he opened his eyes, Dongfang Tianma couldn't believe his eyes at all. He was in the air more than ten meters above the ground at this moment, and from this angle he could look down on the entire Paw Frog Square. And in the square, almost everyone was looking up at themselves, and everyone had a surprised expression.

In the process of falling, Dongfang Tianma felt as if time had been slowed down, and the air currents around him, the birds in the sky, and even the clouds were frozen in motion. It was as if his feet no longer belonged to him, but two winds that came and went freely, and like a bird that could freely control its wings, he landed lightly on the second-floor platform of the Soul Stone Appliance House.
