Chapter 2: The Hidden Opportunities in the Holy Soul Village
Lin Xiao returned to the simple home. The furnishings in the house were simple, with almost no valuables except for a few shabby furniture.
He simply made some food and barely filled his stomach, then sat on the bed and fell into deep thought.
Although he had the memory of his previous life and knew many places of opportunity on the Douluo Continent, those places were undoubtedly a distant luxury for him in his current situation.
Although he had theoretical knowledge far beyond Yu Xiaogang and had rich combat experience as a soul saint.
But the cruel reality was that he was now just a 6-year-old child who had not yet awakened his martial soul.
Going out alone, he was very likely to be abducted by wolf bandits, or become a meal for wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
Then he thought of the upcoming martial soul awakening ceremony tomorrow, and Lin Xiao's mood became heavier.
According to his experience in his previous life, he would most likely awaken an ordinary wooden spear martial soul, and his innate soul power would only be level 5.
In this Douluo world that places great emphasis on talent, the moment a martial soul awakens almost determines a person's future direction.
The strength of the martial soul determines the height that a soul master can reach in the future; and the amount of innate soul power directly affects the speed of cultivation.
The hierarchy of soul masters in Douluo Continent is strict, from low to high: Soul Master, Soul Master, Great Soul Master, Soul Master, Soul Sect, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, and Titled Douluo.
Each level is divided into ten levels, and each breakthrough in ten levels can lead to the next title.
In Lin Xiao's previous life, relying on his innate soul power of level 5, he cultivated to the Soul Saint, which was the result of his best efforts and some small opportunities. Otherwise, it would be a blessing to be able to cultivate to the Soul King.
Lin Xiao sighed slowly. Although the heart of a strong man in his heart has been awakened, this road to becoming a strong man is destined to be full of thorns and will not be easy.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.
"Chance... Chance... Haha, isn't there a great opportunity in this Holy Soul Village?"
After saying that, he immediately picked up the oil lamp and an iron catalpa beside him. Even though it was already dark outside, Lin Xiao did not hesitate to run to the entrance of the village.
The opportunity that Lin Xiao mentioned was certainly not the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
Although he had read the original text of "Douluo Continent" when he was on Blue Star, and even read Yu Xiaogang's later autobiography "My Student is the God King" in his previous life.
He knew that there was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone hidden under a waterfall outside the Holy Soul Village.
But he knew that it would be tantamount to seeking death to go after it at this moment.
Tang Hao must be watching there all the time, and any disturbance would bring a fatal blow.
The opportunity that Lin Xiao mentioned was actually related to the legend of the Holy Soul Village-the only Soul Saint who walked out of the village.
When Lin Xiao returned to the Holy Soul Village in his previous life, the village chief, Old Jack, was still alive.
Seeing that Lin Xiao had become a powerful soul master, the village chief was overjoyed and often showed off to the villagers. At the same time, he would often pull Lin Xiao to reminisce about the past.
The two had been dealing with each other for several years, and the village chief naturally mentioned the legendary Soul Saint, and even took out a Soul Saint's notebook and gave it to Lin Xiao.
It was said that it recorded the past of the Soul Saint. At first, Lin Xiao didn't care, but just took it as an ordinary gift from the village chief and happily accepted it.
Until a few years later, when the village chief passed away, Lin Xiao occasionally took out the notebook to commemorate. Once accidentally, the pages of the book were torn, revealing the interlayer.
There was a map and a note hidden in the interlayer. Lin Xiao only then knew that the Soul Saint had returned to the Holy Soul Village before his death and left his relics in a cave not far from the village.
Driven by curiosity, Lin Xiao went to explore and indeed found the legacy of the Soul Saint.
At this moment, Lin Xiao recalled and hurried to the destination with the oil lamp.
A dark and deep cave appeared in front of him. The entrance was covered by vines, which seemed particularly secretive.
Lin Xiao immediately showed a look of surprise and murmured, "Getting that thing will definitely help me a lot."
After that, he stepped into the cave without hesitation. When he came to a stone wall, Lin Xiao took out a shovel and knocked it.
After a while, with a loud "bang", a stone was knocked down, revealing a deeper cave.
Lin Xiao didn't care about his panting body and bent forward. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, a long-weathered skeleton appeared in front of him.
Such a horrible scene did not scare the six-year-old child. Lin Xiao's eyes were fixed on a ring on the left hand of the skeleton.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, there was no accident."
Then, he walked to the skeleton, bent down and picked up a letter made of soul beast skin on the ground. It was written on it:
The latest novel is published here!
"Since you can come here, you must be from the Holy Soul Village and know my story from the notes I left behind. There is
no need to mention the previous cause. The ring in my hand is a precious space soul guide. Time in the space is still and living things can be placed.
It contains some things I got when I was traveling on the continent. You can take it yourself. I have no other request, just ask you to place my bones outside the Holy Soul Village and bury them in peace."
With a nervous mood, Lin Xiao carefully took the space soul guide ring from the skeleton. And slowly put it on his left index finger.
Even if he has not awakened his martial soul at this moment, Lin Xiao has studied martial soul theory knowledge for decades in his previous life. He always has some tricks to open this soul guide ring.
After a while of tinkering, the soul guide quickly became smaller and fit Lin Xiao's 6-year-old little finger. It also indicates that the soul guide has recognized its master and can be opened at any time.
Then a trace of mental power surged towards the ring, and the space inside the ring suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiao.
"Dragon Blood Ancient Tree" - I found you, hahaha! Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing wildly.
I saw that the space inside the ring was very large, as large as 100 square meters. But there were not many things inside, hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins were scattered everywhere, and some daily necessities.
However, the most eye-catching thing was a blood-red wood in the middle. In the previous life, Lin Xiao accidentally learned about it from an ancient book.
If an ordinary tree begins to be nourished by the blood of a real dragon for many years when it is a seedling. After it grows up, it is called a dragon blood ancient tree.
The essence of it is its central trunk, called - Dragon Blood Ancient Wood, which has the effect of strengthening the body. Although its effect is not as good as the fairy grass, it is not much different.
"It's a pity that when I found it in my previous life, I was already in my twilight years and my body was severely damaged. After taking it, it only allowed me to live a few more years."
Now that I have found it before my spirit awakens, I am sure there will be a different surprise when my spirit awakens tomorrow. Hahahaha!"
