Chapter 5: Retrieving the Treasure Box
Lin Song and the manservant came to Lina's leather goods workshop, there are dozens of craftsmen working in the workshop, which can supply the leather goods needs of several nearby small towns, which is already a big workshop in this world. However, for Lin Song, who has seen the modern factories on the earth, this place is still too simple.
The next day.
"This ointment may be able to heal your sores!" Miss Lena came to the workshop and handed Lin Song a box of ointment.
"Thank you, Miss Lina, you are so kind!" Lin Song smiled and complimented Lina.
"Well, I don't know what's going on, as soon as I see your smile, I feel sorry for you, and I want to do something for you!" Lena unconsciously told the truth.
Lin Song took the ointment in his hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "Miss Lina, my sore is a stubborn disease, and I have been treated before, but it always recurs, and then a doctor said that it can only be cured unless I can get one of these medicinal materials." ”
As he spoke, he took out a note, and the notes on it were all the materials on the planet that could increase the power of the soul in his memory.
"I've never heard of any of these things. Lena frowned as she looked at the unfamiliar names of the materials.
"Well, I've heard of this flower, it's a spice for the nobility, and it's said to cost about the same as gold. God of Light, do you have to be so valuable for healing?" Lena was amazed and couldn't help but cry out.
"Alas!" Lin Song sighed, "I can't be cured of my illness!" Lin Song's expression was sad, but this expression was also infectious. Enchanting spells can be cast not only with a smile, but also with a disappointed and sad expression.
"I ...... Let's think of a way!" Miss Lena couldn't bear to see Lin Song's expression,
After Miss Lena left, Lin Song applied the ointment all over her body, and the abscesses had been reduced a lot, and they would heal soon, but they would leave some ugly scars. Lin Song applied ointment while looking at himself in the mirror. It felt strange, the image in the mirror was very strange, a thin teenager with curly brown hair and deeply sunken blue eyes. The already ordinary appearance has now added a lot of scars from rotten sores, which should be considered ugly.
For soul cultivators, the appearance is a little better, and the effect of casting the charm technique is also better, but when Lin Song possessed the body, he was already desperate and had no way to choose.
Lin Song finished applying the ointment and returned to the workshop, it was noon, and the craftsmen were resting.
Lin Song picked up a short knife for cutting leather, hung it on his belt, and walked out of the workshop.
This was the first time he had walked in a small city in a big way, and looking at Lin Song, who was newly dressed and had a ruddy face, no one in the town recognized him as the beggar who was covered in mud and sores not long ago.
On the side of the street, Lin Song saw the group of beggar friends living in the cowshed, the red-haired beggar recognized Lin Song, and when he saw Lin Song's current appearance, he showed a look of fear on his face, and the other beggars did not dare to look directly into Lin Song's eyes. They were afraid of Lin Song's retaliation.
Lin Song smiled indifferently, he wanted to go on this cultivation path, there were countless wealth and beauties to conquer, and endless lives to enjoy, how could he deal with a few beggars, they were just unimportant passers-by in his life.
Lin Song kept walking out of the small city, he discerned the direction, he was in a soul state that day, and he didn't care about the path. Now that I have a body, it's natural to find a way up the mountain.
Lin Song followed the direction of his memory, found the small river, and went upriver along the river. Many footprints were found in Lin Song by the river, which must have been left by the soldiers who searched for themselves.
When I arrived at the place where I hid my treasure and threw it into the river, the footprints were particularly complicated. Lin Song was secretly frightened, he only simply hid the jade pendant and the wooden box, if these people searched carefully, they would definitely find it.
Lin Song first observed in the vicinity for a while, the surrounding birds were singing and the mountains were secluded, and after making sure that there was no ambush, Lin Song slowly walked to the tree hole, pretending to be nothing, and reached out to touch it, and his nervous mood relaxed. The wooden box and jade pendant were still placed safely under the dead leaves. The people who wanted to come to the temple saw that they were lowly in their skills, so the people sent to chase him were ordinary soldiers. The soldiers only wanted to catch him, and they didn't even think of searching a small tree hole.
Lin Song hung the jade pendant around his neck, put the wooden box into his backpack, and returned to the leather workshop in the small town. After finishing a day's work, Lin Song returned to his hut and took out the treasure box that he had almost paid for his life to examine it carefully.
Now the wooden box is the only Horcrux he has, and his own Horcruxes have been destroyed by Terry. There's no way to replenish in this strange world. This is not the Soul Star Domain, there are materials and potions used for soul cultivation everywhere, and everything here can only rely on yourself.
Looking closely at this wooden box, I can see that it is dark red, like the color of sandalwood on the earth, and its appearance is very old, without any peculiarities. There are no lids or drawers that can be opened, and the wooden box is actually a whole. Lin Song suddenly remembered that the urn in the crematorium was like this.
"Could it be that this is really someone's ashes?" Lin Song suddenly had such a ridiculous thought in his heart.
Lin Song shook the wooden box, it was very light, and he couldn't feel anything inside. Lin Song remembered the kind of white light that the cardinal had cast that could pierce through the armor and shield, but it was ineffective against the wooden box. Lin Song picked up the short knife and stabbed it hard at the wooden box, it stands to reason that the sharp short knife could easily pierce the thin wooden box. However, the wooden box suddenly flashed slightly, and the surface seemed to have a transparent shield, which flicked Lin Song's short knife away.
Lin Song tried other methods, fire, heavy blows, and concentrated acid erosion were all ineffective against this wooden box. Lin Song was so tired that he was out of breath, and he was very depressed, this wooden box was so weird, even if there were any treasures in it, he couldn't get it.
Lin Song gently stroked the wooden box, and suddenly felt that the surface did not seem to be very smooth, and when he raised it in front of him, it turned out that there were some lines carved on the surface of the wooden box, but it was too fine, and the dark red color on the surface of the wooden box was not clear.
Lin Song thought about it, closed his eyes, and cast a soul scan, using his soul to feel, he could see the most subtle things. However, this requires the consumption of soul power, which is indeed a challenge for Lin Song's current soul state.
Slowly, Lin Song's soul perceived the wooden box, and the strange thing was that the wooden box seen by the soul scan was different from the reality, it was not a whole, but a lid. There were fine lines on the surface of the wooden box that were glowing slightly, and Lin Song was about to use his soul power to scan it carefully, when suddenly there was a tingling in his mind, and he retreated from the state of soul scanning.
Lin Song felt that the soul fire in the Divine Mind Space was extremely weak, and it swayed, like an oil lamp that was about to dry up, and it was about to be extinguished. This is a manifestation of the extreme weakness of the soul, and the soul power must be replenished immediately, otherwise the soul fire will be extinguished, and not only will you be downgraded, but your life will be in danger.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Lin Song put away the wooden box, and saw Miss Lena walk in gently, and couldn't help but be startled when she saw Lin Song's pale appearance.
"What's wrong with you? poor boy. Lena asked worriedly.
Lin Song's heart moved, pretending to be seriously ill, and said weakly: "The sore on my body has flare-up again, and I am about to die!"
"Silly boy, the god of light will bless you, and you won't die. Lena whispered softly.
Lin Song laughed in his heart, how could the God of Light bless him, a heretic?
"Unless you can find one of those herbs I gave you, there's no way. Lin Song sighed as he cast a spell of charm.
Now that his soul power had dried up, every spell he used could cause his soul space to collapse.
"I inquired about those medicinal herbs of yours, and there is only one in the small city, and that is the Fruit of Light. ”
Lin Song nodded, the Fruit of Light is a fruit that grows from the Tree of Light. The Tree of Light grows slowly, often only once in decades, and the fruit is an important medicinal material, some like the ginseng on earth. In Lin Song's list for Tina, the Fruit of Light is at the bottom, but it's good to be found in this small city.
"However, the Fruit of Light costs twenty gold coins to buy one, which is too expensive. ”
In the Bright Continent, currency is still at the level of circulating precious metals, including gold coins, silver coins and copper coins. Gold coins are the most valuable coins, and the purchasing power of twenty gold coins is almost equivalent to 10,000 yuan on the earth, and it is impossible for Tina to have such money.
"Alas, then there is no way! let me quickly return to the embrace of the God of Light!" Lin Song sighed as he cast another spell of charm with all his might. After casting the spell twice in a row, Lin Song only felt that the Venus in front of him was rising, which was risking his life to overdraw his soul power. However, Lin Song knew that this was the last chance, and if he couldn't get Tina's assistance, his cultivation path would be completely cut off.
Lin Song's face turned pale and staggered to the bed. Seeing Lin Song's appearance, Tina burst into tears, wringing the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, now there is only one way, that is, to steal her father-old Andrea's money.
The next morning, Tina's manservant brought Lin Song a wooden box containing three fruits of light.
Lin Song was overjoyed, this was a real send-off, if Tina was unwilling, he wouldn't have the soul power to use the charm technique again.
These three Fruits of Light are all well preserved, and the soul power inside is basically not lost. Lin Song immediately searched for the cultivation method of taking the Fruit of Light in his memory, and then took one.
Soon, many small rays of light appeared in the soul space, and under the control of Lin Song's mind, they were injected into the flames that were about to be extinguished. These tiny rays of light are all soul power absorbed from the Fruit of Light. After a moment, the soul flame seemed to brighten up a little.
Lin Song breathed a sigh of relief, and his status as a junior apprentice was finally retained. Think about Terry and the others are all senior controllers, two big levels and more than a dozen small levels higher than themselves. He is still struggling to keep his identity as a junior apprentice. When will I be able to get revenge on Terry?
It took Lin Song a day and a night to absorb two Fruits of Light in a row. The flames in the soul space finally returned to their previous state, a cluster of small pale red flames. The controlling disciples need to cultivate three clusters of flames, and then merge them into one, so that they can be upgraded.
Lin Song stopped cultivating, took out the magical wooden box again, put it in front of him, and observed it with the spell of soul scanning. This time, he has enough soul power, and he can take a closer look.
Lin Song kept using the power of his soul to enlarge the subtle lines on the wooden box, and gradually saw that these lines were all small words, which were connected to each other to form strange graphics.
Lin Song suddenly felt that the shape of these words was a little familiar, and after looking at it carefully, he suddenly realized that these words were clearly the same as the words engraved on the back of his jade pendant, no wonder he looked so familiar.
