Chapter 6: Ten Years of Sword Bamboo

　"Hello, little boy. Aren't your parents here with you?"

　　When Lin Xuan just stepped into the Spirit Communication Tower, a spirit communication master in a long robe came to greet him.

　　This spiritual master was not very old, probably only about 27 or 28 years old. He had a professional smile on his face. He didn't look happy, but he didn't look annoying either.

　　"I'm alone! Where can I buy souls?"

　　Lin Xuan shook his head and asked him.

　　"If you want to buy souls, follow me this way."

　　The young spiritual master's smile brightened a little, and the performance was finally achieved.

　　Every customer he serves can provide him with a commission. Although it is not much, it accumulates into a considerable amount in a month.

　　Lin Xuan followed the young spiritual master to a room in the back hall.

　　"Little friend, we have three ways to buy souls here, namely ten-year white souls, hundred-year yellow souls, and randomly drawn souls. Which one do you want?"

　　"The price of a white soul is 70,000, and a yellow soul is 1 million. However, it only costs 30,000 to randomly draw a soul. There are both white and yellow souls. It all depends on luck. Do you want to try it, kids?"

　　The young spiritual master introduced to Lin Xuan with a smile, and at the same time he emphasized the random extraction of souls.

　　In a small place like Aolai City, there are very few people who can afford to buy Hundred-Year Souls. Instead, souls that are randomly drawn have the best sales.

　　People always have a sense of luck! Every year, there are many people who lose their entire fortunes in the random soul drawing.

　　"No thanks! I choose to buy the white soul."

　　Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. I don't trust you, this old man is very bad.

　　The random extraction of souls is a gamble with no guarantee. Most of them are defective products from failed experiments in the Soul Tower. It would be a blessing to get a normal white soul.

　　"We currently have a total of seventy-three types of white spirits. You can choose any one you like."

　　The young spiritual master continued to introduce to Lin Xuan without blushing or beating his heart, without any embarrassment of failing to fool a child.

　　Taking the electronic screen handed over by the young spiritual master, Lin Xuan carefully read the information of the soul on it.

　　"Qingyun Python, ten years old, white, characteristic speed."

　　"Haiyun clam, ten years old, white, high defense, double water defense."

　　"Purple seaweed, ten years old, white, no special features."

　　"…"

　　There were seventy-three types in total. Lin Xuan patiently turned the pages one by one. After reading them all, he finally fixed his eyes on the forty-third type.

　　"Green Leaf Sword Bamboo, 10 years old, white quality, a hybrid of Green Leaf Grass and Sword Bamboo, with both the vitality of Green Leaf Grass and the hardness of Sword Bamboo."

　　"That's it."

　　Lin Xuan said to the young spiritual master.

　　This Green Leaf Sword Bamboo is of the same origin as his martial soul, has a high adaptability, and has good characteristics.

　　"Well! Come with me to test your mental strength first."

　　The young spiritualist put away the electronic screen and took Lin Xuan to another room. He led the way and explained science to Lin Xuan.

　　"Different spiritual levels determine the upper limit of the age at which a soul master can fuse souls. If one rashly exceeds this limit, the soul will be damaged at best, or even die at worst."

　　"Therefore, a very necessary step for every soul master before fusing souls is to test the level of mental power."

　　The two came to another room. In the middle of the room was a metal chair and next to it were many strange instruments.

　　"Just sit down in the chair."

　　The young psychic master fiddled with the instruments around him, pointed at the metal chair and said to Lin Xuan.

　　"OK!"

　　Lin Xuan nodded and sat on it.

　　"Don't be nervous, relax your body. The first time you test your mental power, you may feel a little dizzy, that's normal, don't worry."

　　The young spiritualist put a metal helmet on Lin Xuan's head, and there was a metal arm on the side that covered his upper body.

　　"Buzz!"

　　As the young psychic pressed the start button, the instrument made a buzzing sound, and Lin Xuan felt as if countless electric currents were crawling into his brain, making him feel numb and tingling.

　　At the same time, the data on the soul guide screen in the young spiritual master's hand began to jump continuously.

　　"Eighty-nine!"

　　The young psychic master looked at the final frozen data and said in disbelief.

　　"Are you ready? Master Spiritual Master."

　　Lin Xuan was a little surprised by the data, but it was still within his expectations.

　　After all, he has lived two lives, so it is not normal for him to have higher mental power.

　　"Little guy, you have an incredible talent."

　　"The spiritual power level is generally divided into five levels from low to high: Lingyuan Realm, Lingtong Realm, Linghai Realm, Lingyuan Realm, and Lingyu Realm. Every one of them is born in the Lingyuan Realm, but it is just a low-level Lingyuan Realm. Most of them are only in the single digits, and you, who are eighty-nine, are already in the high-level Lingyuan Realm."

　　The young spiritual master smacked his lips. He was a great soul master of level 29, but his spiritual power was only 83.

　　Lin Xuan's spiritual power of 89 points is probably more than twice that of a soul master of the same level.

　　"What a shame! The White Soul is not worthy of you."

　　The young spiritualist sighed again with regret.

　　This little guy's mental strength is more than enough to fuse a high-quality yellow soul. It would be a waste of this talent to fuse a white soul now.

　　Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly. It's hard to say about this kind of thing, but it's still possible to upgrade to a hundred-year soul later.

　　In fact, staying at the same level to make money is also an option. Without fusing soul rings, soul power can continue to accumulate, but the effect of cultivation will be much worse. Instead of dawdling for a few years, Lin Xuan would rather seize the present.

　　"Come on! I'll take you to the soul room."

　　The young spiritualist took the instrument off Lin Xuan and did not dwell on the matter.

　　He has been working here for several years and has seen many young geniuses who have been buried.

　　Following the young spiritual master, Lin Xuan came to a new room. The room was empty except for a cushion in the middle.

　　"Wait a mininute."

　　The young spiritualist walked to a wall, stretched out his hand and lightly drew it in the air, and an electronic light screen suddenly appeared in the air.

　　"Pupil recognition in progress, identity confirmed successfully!"

　　A mechanical electronic sound rang out in the room, and then the wall in front of the young spiritualist spread out in all directions, and a stone shelf about five or six meters high appeared.

　　The stone shelf was divided into small cubes, each of which contained a small round ball emitting white light.

　　The young spiritualist fumbled around on it for a while and took out a small white ball.

　　"This is the soul you bought."

　　The young spiritual master handed the white ball to Lin Xuan, then pressed the button in the center of the ball. Suddenly, a white light flew out of the ball and landed in front of Lin Xuan.

　　"Green Leaf Sword Bamboo!"

　　Lin Xuan looked at the green bamboo that appeared in front of him and murmured softly.

　　When the white spiritual light faded away, a green bamboo about three or four meters tall stood in front of him, with the swaying leaves of the green bamboo giving off a hint of sharpness.

　　Please give me some votes, dear readers.

Chapter 7: First Soul Skill

　　"You can choose to merge the soul here and take it home, but it must be completed within 24 hours, otherwise the soul will die."

　　The young spiritual master said to Lin Xuan.

　　"I'll merge here!"

　　Lin Xuan thought about it and decided that it would be safer in the Spirit Tower.

　　Although after so many years, soul-related technologies have long been mature and the possibility of an accident is less than one in a billion, you should not miss the after-sales service of the Soul Transmission Tower.

　　"Can!"

　　The young psychic nodded, then walked to the left wall and knocked gently, and a row of puppets moved out from behind the wall.

　　"This is a test puppet. After you fuse your souls, you can use it to test the power of your soul skills."

　　After the young spiritual master finished speaking, he turned and left. In an instant, Lin Xuan was the only one left in the room.

　　Lin Xuan first sat cross-legged on the cushion, and after adjusting his state, he summoned his martial soul.

　　A little green appeared on the ground, and a green grass leaf rose from the ground. Lin Xuan controlled the Green Leaf Sword Grass and reached towards the somewhat illusory green bamboo in front.

　　As if sensing the presence of Lin Xuan's martial soul, the Green Leaf Sword Bamboo emitted a bluish-white halo that contrasted with the green light of the Green Leaf Sword Grass, like two entangled stars blending together.

　　A faint thought was transmitted into Lin Xuan's mind along the Green Leaf Sword Grass. It was the thought of the Green Leaf Sword Bamboo. However, it was only ten years old, just like a newborn baby, and this thought was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

　　Lin Xuan opened his heart and tried to take it in. Without any resistance, Qingye Jianzhu was like an amorous girl, allowing Lin Xuan's thoughts to play with her at will.

　　However, even if it wanted to resist, with Lin Xuan's mental power reaching the high level of Lingyuan Realm, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

　　At the same time, the shape of the green-leaf sword grass outside began to change. The originally curled leaves became straight, like sharp sword blades emitting cold light.

　　After a long time, Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and a white soul ring rose behind him.

　　Soul fusion completed!

　　Lin Xuan stood up, looked at the puppet in front of him, and pointed his hand forward.

　　"Sword Leaf Stab!"

　　As his voice fell, the white soul ring behind him rippled slightly, and countless green grasses on the ground surged out from the ground like earth dragons.

　　The tips of these green grasses flashed with cold light, which hurt people's eyes, as if the tips of the green grasses were not weak leaves, but sharp swords that could cut through iron like mud.

　　"Swish! Swish!!"

　　It was the dull sound of a blade entering a throat. The sharp green grass penetrated the puppet without any hindrance and cut it off easily. The row of seven or eight puppets was like being thrown into a meat grinder, and the pieces were scattered all over the floor.

　　"If it were a human, I'm afraid he would be dead beyond death."

　　Lin Xuan picked up a piece of puppet debris on the ground. The cut on it was as smooth as jade, and one would never have thought that it was made by a grass leaf.

　　After the fusion of souls, the sharpness of the Green Leaf Sword Grass was beyond his imagination. Not to mention puppets, I'm afraid some weaker metals would not be able to withstand it.

　　The first soul skill granted to him by this soul ring is stabbing.

　　When he activates this soul skill, the front end of the Green Leaf Sword Grass will become extremely hard. Combined with the sharp nature of the Green Leaf Sword Grass itself, the two together greatly increase the power of this soul skill.

　　According to his rough estimate, in terms of damage alone, this soul skill is not even inferior to some weaker hundred-year soul rings.
