Chapter 85: Repairing the Soul Tool
Because there were a relatively large number of people traveling this time, including a behemoth like Zhao Wuji, it was impossible to have everyone sleep in the carriage. The younger, smaller children lived in the carriage, while Zhao Wuji and Flanders set up camp nearby and were responsible for keeping watch at night.
However, no fool would dare to steal a team that has several Soul Saints.
Shi Lin and Shi An shared a carriage, Ma Hongjun and Oscar shared a carriage, and several other teachers, some of whom were smaller or older, also shared carriages.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun shared a carriage. Oscar could take care of Ma Hongjun, since Ma Hongjun was quite weak at the moment.
After Shi Lin got into the carriage, he took out the ring that Flanders had given him.
Shi Lin and Shi An sat facing each other, lit a candle, and carefully admired the soul tool in Shi Lin's hand.
"Young Master, is this a soul tool?" Shi An asked Shi Lin with a curious expression.
The Shi family was poor before, so neither Shi An nor Shi Lin had ever seen what a soul tool looked like, so they were very curious about soul tools.
"That's right, but it looks a bit damaged." Shi Lin looked at the ring in his hand by candlelight and frowned slightly as he spoke.
Shi Lin never expected that Flanders would give him a soul tool for the sake of his personal disciple. This is not something Flanders, the stingy expert Shi Lin remembers, would do.
Shi Lin was not stingy. After looking at it for a while, he handed the ring to Shi An, so that Shi An could broaden his horizons.
Shi An carefully took the soul tool from Shi Lin's hand, and then examined the ring in his hand with great curiosity.
This soul tool is a topaz ring. The ring is made of very good material, like a piece of translucent yellow jelly. Although Shi Lin doesn't understand jade, he can sense that this piece of jade is not cheap.
Shi An looked at it for a while, then solemnly handed the ring to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin nodded, then channeled a stream of soul power into the soul tool.
After consuming about one-third of Shi Lin's soul power, a different dimension, similar to a personal space, appeared in front of Shi Lin.
Shi Lin had just figured out how to use the portable space a few days ago, so he was very familiar with this kind of alternate dimension.
Of course, Shi Lin wasn't in the mood to play with it all night this time.
The space inside this ring is not large, only a dozen cubic meters, and it is completely empty. More importantly, Shi Lin sensed that the space inside the ring might collapse at any moment, and it wouldn't be able to be used much longer.
After all, Shi Lin's contracted natal Gu worm is the Space Path basic Gu worm, the Pocket Gu, so Shi Lin is exceptionally sensitive to spatial power.
"This thing can't be used more than a few times, and there's a chance it'll lose things. It's such a rip-off," Shi Lin said helplessly as he closed the space of the soul tool.
No wonder the stingy Flanders gave him this thing; it was practically unusable.
Just then, Shi Lin suddenly felt the Pocket Gu in his dantian stir and struggle to come out of his dantian.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred with the Pocket Gu.
Although Shi Lin was puzzled, the Pocket Gu was, after all, his natal Gu worm, and he couldn't let it harm him.
So Shi Lin mobilized his soul power and took out the Pocket Gu.
With a flash of silvery-white light, a delicate white toad appeared in Shi Lin's palm.
Before Shi Lin could react, the Pocket Gu opened its mouth, stuck out its tongue, and swallowed the soul tool directly into its stomach.
"I'll knock!?" The Pocket Gu moved swiftly; before Shi Lin could react, the soul tool had already entered the Pocket Gu's mouth.
Shi Lin stared in shock as the white toad-shaped Gu worm, the size of a finger, swallowed a ring larger than himself.
"What's going on?" Shi Lin didn't touch the Pocket Gu, but frowned, watching what the Pocket Gu in front of him was going to do next.
To Shi Lin's disappointment, the Pocket Gu lay dormant in his palm.
Looking at the sleeping Pocket Gu, Shi Lin gave it a disdainful look.
What is this thing? It eats and then sleeps!
However, Shi Lin sighed. After all, this guy was his natal Gu worm.
Shi Lin didn't know why, so instead of putting the Pocket Gu back into his dantian, he put it in his pocket, found a comfortable spot in the carriage, took out his blanket, and went to sleep.
Since this was in the wilderness, Shi Lin did not continue cultivating in the carriage.
After traveling all day, Shi Lin was exhausted.
Shi Lin promised that he would not cultivate next time he was traveling.
Soon, Shi Lin fell asleep.
The next morning, before dawn, Shi Lin felt a tingling sensation in his dantian.
Shi Lin subconsciously rubbed his lower abdomen and actually touched the Pocket Gu.
Only then did Shi Lin reluctantly open his eyes.
"What the hell?" Shi Lin looked sleepily at the Pocket Gu in his palm.
"Croak..."
With a faint croak, the soul tool that Pocket Gu had swallowed the night before was spat out by Pocket Gu.
Seeing the Pocket Gu spit out something, Shi Lin subconsciously reached out and caught it.
In the dim light of dawn, Shi Lin glanced at what was in his hand.
This look is quite significant.
The topaz ring, which was originally full of cracks, now has all the cracks completely disappeared. Moreover, the ring looks very new, as if it just came from the factory.
It seems that Pocket Gu repaired this soul tool last night.
"I never expected the Pocket Gu to have such an ability." Shi Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at the Pocket Gu in his hand with great interest.
Shi Lin played with the yellow jade soul tool in his hand for a moment, and then channeled a stream of soul power into it.
The next second, a huge alternate dimension appeared in front of Shi Lin.
After the soul tool was repaired, it turned out to have several hundred cubic meters of space inside.
"I never expected that the space inside this soul tool would be so big after it was repaired!" Shi Lin was also shocked.
The space inside a soul tool cannot store living beings, but Shi Lin's personal space can.
Therefore, Shi Lin transferred all the items that couldn't be stored in his personal space to his soul tool, leaving only the living creatures, such as Gu worms, horses, and Heavenly Crystal Lotus...
After Shi Lin tidied up, the originally cramped personal space is now much more spacious.
After tidying up his personal space, the sky brightened up.
Shi Lin glanced at the ring in his hand. It was clearly an adult size, so he could only pull a string from his clothes, tie the ring around his neck, and wear it as a necklace.
Just then, Shi An stirred and slowly opened his eyes.
"Young Master! You're up so early." Shi An opened his eyes and found that Shi Lin had already woken up, so he asked Shi Lin in a daze.
"Yeah, I got up early." Shi Lin waved to Shi An and said.
Before long, the others also started to get up.
With Flanders here, breakfast is simply a bowl of porridge with a few pickled vegetables.
After the meal, Shi Lin and Shi An went to the carriage where Ma Hongjun was.
At this moment, there were no traces of evil fire left on Ma Hongjun's body, but his face was pale and he looked somewhat weak.
"Thank you for saving my life." Ma Hongjun tried to stand up with a serious expression, but he was too weak to stand up. He staggered and sat back down next to Oscar.
"I have a huge sausage!" Without any hesitation, Oscar summoned a sausage and handed it to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun didn't mind and picked up the sausage to start eating.
Shi Lin and Shi An exchanged a glance, then sat down opposite Ma Hongjun.
