Soul Star, a summer day.

The scorching sun spread fiery light on the earth, and on a tall mine, some people were toiling at work.

The bare rocks were so hot that the soles of your shoes seemed to melt when you stepped on them, making it difficult to walk on them.

"When!when!" a teenager pounded on a boulder.

The young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, his face was very delicate, his upper body was undressed, revealing his tanned skin, and drops of sweat slipped down his face, dripping onto the hot rocks, and disappeared in an instant.

The work of mining soul stones is very hard, and large iron tools cannot be used, because the strong knocking will shatter the soul crystals in the soul stones. So you can only use a small chisel and a small hammer, little by little.

Such heavy physical labor under the scorching sun is not even possible for adults to persist all day long. But this teenager has stiffened up, from morning to night, he has persevered for two years, which makes many adults also admire the boy's perseverance very much, and they also know his name - Lin Song.

At this moment, Lin Song was carefully beating on a large stone, and a soul stone showed a little black corner. At this time, it is necessary to control the power, if you accidentally hit the soul stone and shatter the fragile soul crystal inside, this soul stone will be useless.

After some hard work, Lin Song completely removed this soul stone from the stone. At this time, Lin Song was already sweating, but there was a happy smile on his face. This soul stone was the size of an egg, jet-black in color, slightly lighter than ordinary stones, and at this time, Lin Song already had dozens of such stones in his bamboo basket.

The sun was slowly sinking in the west, the sky was getting late, and there were fewer and fewer miners on the mountain, but Lin Song persevered. This scene was already very familiar to everyone, and Lin Song was always the last to leave the mine.

In the evening, Lin Song finally went down the mountain, and after filling it with soul stones, the heavy bamboo basket bent Lin Song's waist deeply, and in the sunset, the young man's thin figure staggered.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a row of stone houses, which is where the soul stones are purchased. An accountant sat in the middle of the room, surrounded by many soldiers. This is the soldier of the City Lord's Mansion, this soul stone mine belongs to the city lord Terry, and the miners are not allowed to swallow the soul stone casually.

Lin Song placed the bamboo basket on the table in front of Mr. Bookkeeper and asked him to count.

"One, two...... One hundred and twenty-six. The bookkeeper nodded and wrote down in his notebook, "Yes, plus the balance from the last time, it is a total of one hundred and fifty dollars." This gives you the option to take three soul stones!"

This was a rule set by the lord of the city, and for every fifty pieces of ore mined, the miners could take one of them with them as wages. This is because in the Soul Star, the soul crystals in the ore are the currency. As for choosing the size of the soul crystals in the soul stone, it all depends on luck.

Lin Song walked into the stone house behind Mr. Bookkeeper, and there were tens of thousands of large and small soul stones in the stone house, which had just been mined by the miners.

"Amitabha, Buddha bless!" Lin Song prayed in his heart.

Next, start choosing a soul stone. Lin Song had been cultivating his soul for several years, and he had a certain sense of the soul power in the soul stone. The soul power emitted by these soul stones is large and small, and the strength is different. However, the soul stone with strong soul power does not necessarily have a large soul crystal. Therefore, even if the cultivation power is great, it is impossible to accurately judge the size of the soul crystal in the soul stone, which is a major problem for the soul star, and no one can solve it. Now Lin Song's choice is basically a matter of luck.

The three soul stones that Lin Song chose went down the mountain to go home.

Lin Song's home was a dilapidated house in Xibe City, and as soon as Lin Song entered the house, he immediately heard a violent coughing sound, and an old man with pale hair was lying on the bed, wheezing hard. This is Lin Song's grandfather, Lin Bo.

Lin Bo is the honorific name of Lin Song's grandfather by the people nearby, and everyone doesn't remember Lin Bo's real name. I just know that Lin Song lived here with Lin Bo when he was a child. Lin Song had no parents and grew up with his grandfather. Limber used to work in the mines, but now he is old and in poor health, like a burnt candle that can be extinguished at any time.

Lin Song walked quickly to his grandfather's bed, helped his grandfather up, brought him a bowl of water, and fed him to drink.

After Lin Bo drank the water, he couldn't help but feel heartache and discomfort when he saw the deep blood marks on Lin Song's shoulder that was strangled by the bamboo basket, and said with tears in his eyes: "Song'er, it's grandpa who has affected you!"

"How could it be! In the past, it was grandpa who took care of Song'er, but now that Song'er has grown up, it is natural for Song'er to work to earn money to take care of grandpa. ”

Lin Song comforted his grandfather while sighing in his heart, "It would be good if I had money, I could change my grandfather's young and healthy body." ”

In the Soul Star, there is the sale of strong slaves captured from alien planets, who can change their bodies. However, the price was simply astronomical, and a poor family like Lin Song couldn't do it.

Lin Song settled his grandfather, returned to his room, took out the soul stone he had just gotten, and began to solve the stone.

Calving stone is a delicate work, and the fragile soul crystal, the slightest collision, will shatter. Once the soul power inside is lost, the soul crystal will be completely scrapped.

Lin Song used a thin blade to peel off the soul stone layer by layer. Since you can't determine the location of the soul crystal, you should always be careful. Layers of stone skins are peeled away. Lin Song became more and more disappointed, and in the end, the soul stone was completely unraveled, there was nothing, there was no soul crystal, and Lin Song's hard work for almost half a day was equal to working in vain.

Lin Song picked up the second soul stone and began to solve the stone, if this soul stone also found nothing, it would be too depressing.

Fortunately, Lin Song only peeled off a layer of stone skin and found a soul crystal the size of a grain of rice. The soul crystal is a transparent hollow crystal with a gray mist floating inside, and the soul power is contained in it.

In the end, the soul stone was solved, and three more soul crystals were found, the largest of which was the size of a small fingernail. This made Lin Song extremely happy, the average soul stone only had one or two soul crystals the size of a grain of rice, which was normal. The discovery in this soul stone was clearly earned by him.

Lin Song didn't bother to untie the third soul stone, and pulled out an iron box from under the small bed. There were more than a dozen such soul crystals in the iron box, which Lin Song had usually accumulated. Because I usually eat and live, and I have to see my grandfather, I have to spend soul crystals, so it is extremely difficult to accumulate soul crystals. It took Lin Song two months to accumulate these soul crystals, which was a little bit of savings obtained by relying on more sweat and effort than others.

Lin Song immediately ran towards a pharmacy shop in the city with the iron box in his hand.

"Uncle Heng, I'm going to buy a soul-boosting potion, do you think these soul crystals are enough?"

A middle-aged man picked up a small scale and put the soul crystal in Lin Song's box inside.

"There are twelve ounces in total, and you can buy a soul-enhancing potion!"

Ang is the unit of weight on the soul star, and a soul-boosting potion requires ten ounces of soul crystals.

Lin Song took the two soul crystals that he had recovered, as well as a slender glass bottle, which contained a soul-enhancing potion.

Lin Song returned home and drank the bottle of soul-enhancing potion. I immediately felt a chill in my chest and abdomen. This cold sensation slowly expanded in the body, as if a block of ice was melting. This is the medicinal properties in the medicine that are being emanated.

Lin Song immediately began to cultivate according to the exercises he had learned, using his mind to guide this cold qi into the meridians, and then from the meridians into his mind.

After a moment, there was also a cold feeling in my mind. Lin Song could feel that in his mind, there was a gray space, which was his soul space. In the center of the space, there was a ball of light shining slightly, which was Lin Song's soul.

The soul power in the potion he absorbed turned into white light in the soul space and fell into this light cluster.

I don't know how long I have been cultivating, Lin Song opened his eyes, and the soul light cluster in the soul space was slightly brighter than before, but it was not obvious.

"Alas!" Lin Song sighed, "Two months of hard work can only be exchanged for a bottle of potion, such a cultivation speed is too slow, how many young people can become the lowest level of the control apprentice!"

"If you give up cultivation and become an ordinary person, you don't have to work so hard!" This thought flashed in Lin Song's mind, but he was immediately vetoed by Lin Song, no matter how difficult it was, Lin Song must continue to cultivate. You must no longer be as idle as in your previous life, you must get ahead and make a career!

No one knows that Lin Song has a previous life, he is a time-traveler, who traveled from the earth to this soul star.

In his previous life, Lin Song was also unsuccessful. After graduating from college, Lin Song, who came from a poor family, was a real ** silk, with no money, no car or house, and his girlfriend broke up with him because he was poor. Lin Song worked hard to change his fate. In the end, he died suddenly due to overwork. After death, the soul traveled to a child in this world, which is now Lin Song.

"You have to try to stick to it and never give up. Lin Song secretly made up his mind.

The only way to get ahead on the Soul Star is to cultivate, just like everyone on the earth yearns for promotion and wealth, the status of cultivators on the Soul Star is the highest.

The cultivation on the soul star seems to be a little different from the cultivation in Lin Song's previous life when he read the fantasy fairy tales. The monks on the soul star pay attention to the cultivation of the soul, they despise the body, and believe that the cultivation of the soul is the foundation. And developed a variety of spells and horcruxes based on soul power.

Lin Song picked up a piece of jade pendant hanging from his neck, and secretly prayed to his mother's spirit in heaven to bless him. This jade pendant is a family heirloom of Lin Song when he was on earth to ward off evil spirits. Before her mother died, she hung her hands around his neck, and moreover, Lin Song's soul crossed to the Soul Star, and this jade pendant also crossed with him, which made Lin Song even more convinced of the miracle of this jade pendant.

Looking at the hourglass on the table, Lin Song knew that it was almost time for class. There is a class for learning spells in the city, which was founded by the lord of the city, and there is no tuition fee, as long as it is a teenager of the right age, it can go to the lecture, and the lecture is given by several old disciples.
