Chapter 22 Aoba Mark
In mid-air, star beams continued to fall.
The old butler used all his strength to display his first soul skill: Falling Star.
After a few minutes.
Lin Rong was bathed in the star beam, and his rosy complexion had returned. At least on the surface, there was no serious problem.
Next.
He only needs to practice the Marrow Cleansing Sutra for ten and a half days to get through the period of weakness caused by the forced use of the dragon soul power.
Then, Lin Rong seemed to remember something again, and raised his right hand to look at the string of jade beads on his wrist.
The string of jade beads on his wrist is a storage soul guidance device.
There are a total of twelve jade beads in this object, which is called Qingbi Dragon Vine. It is a thing passed down from generation to generation by the Lin family.
These twelve jade beads are overall a warm jade white color. If you look carefully under the sun, you can still see the faint azure lines on the jade beads.
Among them, the first and last two jade beads, as well as the seventh jade bead, have azure lines on them like dragon patterns; the remaining nine jade beads have azure lines on them like vine leaves.
Twelve jade beads, each jade bead can store items, and the storage space is divided into two levels.
Three dragon-patterned jade beads, each with thirty-six cubic meters of storage space, totaling one hundred and eight cubic meters.
Each of the nine vine leaf jade beads has a storage space of 12 cubic meters, totaling 108 cubic meters.
The total storage space for twelve jade beads is 216 cubic meters.
Now, the head soul bone that Kong Qingzhu dropped is stored in the seventh jade bead.
The fingers of Lin Rong's left hand touched the dragon-patterned jade bead, as if touching the soul bone stored inside through the jade bead.
After what happened just now, Lin Rong no longer dared to easily take out the soul bone from Kong Qingzhu's head.
Who knows if that soul bone has the remaining soul power of Kong Qingzhu.
Lin Rong is still in a weak stage. During this period, he cannot forcefully use the dragon soul power, but he cannot withstand another soul attack from Kong Qingzhu.
Only after this period of weakness has passed and the dragon soul has the confidence to protect himself, Lin Rong will take out the soul bones stored in the dragon-patterned jade beads.
And before he absorbs this soul bone, he needs to let the old housekeeper use the power of the stars to purify every trace of the remaining soul power on this soul bone.
Finally, let Jiuqu Tenglong use the pure power of life to thoroughly refine it.
Only after ensuring that nothing goes wrong can Lin Rong absorb this soul bone with confidence.
The only loss in doing this is that the remaining soul power of the soul bone is purified, and absorbing the soul bone cannot increase the soul power level.
But Lin Rong didn't care either.
The remaining soul power on the soul bone comes from Kong Qingzhu, and Kong Qingzhu's cultivation is less than a thousand years old.
Therefore, the remaining soul power on the soul bone only increases Lin Rong's current soul power level by one or two levels, which is harmless.
It is nothing compared to my own life.
"Young Master, the last time you absorbed the soul ring, you encountered the attached soul bone. This time you absorbed the soul ring, you encountered the same thing again."
After sighing, the old housekeeper said seriously:
"For your safety, next time you absorb soul rings, don't absorb those mutated soul beasts that have never appeared before, so as to avoid this situation happening again."
After hearing this, Lin Rong looked away from the jade beads and replied in a weak tone:
"Don't worry! Grandpa Yu."
"I cherish my life more than you think."
"The soul rings in the future are not the types of soul beasts I already know, and I will not absorb them anymore." "Besides, although this time is dangerous, fortunately, there is no failure."
"Kong Qingzhu has extraordinary roots and feet, and the second soul skill he obtained exceeded my expectations."
With that said, Lin Rong shared with the old housekeeper the second soul skill he had obtained from Kong Qingzhu.
"My second soul skill is called Qingye Mark, and it is a top-notch space soul skill."
"Any creature or thing that comes into contact with me or Jiuqu Tenglong can be regarded as a target by me and attached with the Aoba mark."
With that said, Lin Rong attached a green leaf mark to the old housekeeper without releasing his martial spirit.
"While the mark exists, I can sense the location of the marked target in real time."
"In addition, without releasing my martial spirit, I can actively trigger the mark on the target and teleport myself to the target's location."
After the words fell, Lin Rong triggered the green leaf mark on the old butler's body, teleported behind the old butler, lay on the old butler's back and preached:
"The Green Leaf Mark can be attached to up to three targets at the same time, and one additional target can be attached to each additional soul ring."
"At the same time, the maximum teleportation distance is one kilometer. For each additional soul ring, the maximum teleportation distance increases by one kilometer."
"And the Green Leaf Mark has no time limit. As long as it is not actively triggered, it will not dissipate over time."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
During Lin Rong's narration, he triggered the green leaf mark that had been left in place before and returned there. Feeling the situation inside his body, he continued:
"Well, the soul power is consumed. Every time you teleport, no matter the distance, one-tenth of the soul power will be consumed."
"I now have two soul rings. I can attach up to five green leaf marks at the same time. The maximum distance of a single teleport is three kilometers."
"Under the best circumstances, I can now teleport five times in a row, each time teleporting three kilometers. Five times is fifteen kilometers."
"But this soul skill has a shortcoming. People whose soul power level is ten levels or more higher than mine can discover and use soul power to dissolve the marks on their bodies."
"But it's only limited to myself. I can't find the Aoba mark other than myself."
After Lin Rong said this, he found that the old housekeeper's expression was very calm, and he couldn't help but asked unexpectedly:
"Grandpa Yu, why are you not surprised at all by such an excellent soul skill?"
After hearing this, the old housekeeper was silent for a few seconds. The evening wind in the forest blew his gray hair at the temples, and the old voice accompanied by the wind reached Lin Rong's ears:
"Because this old slave feels that it is not surprising that the soul skills that the young master acquired with his life are powerful, no matter how powerful they are."
The deep and genuine concern in his tone brought Lin Rong's memory back to the past.
Since time traveling, except for the days when I was in my mother’s womb.
At all other times, the old housekeeper would almost always be by Lin Rong's side and take care of him.
People's hearts are not made of iron, and the care they took over the years made Lin Rong sincerely accept this loyal old housekeeper.
His childlike appearance was just a pretense so that no one would discover his identity as a time traveler.
But the old housekeeper's meticulous care allowed Lin Rong to have a regret-free childhood, making up for the regrets of his previous life.
Therefore, Lin Rong showed the innocent side of his character in front of the old housekeeper without any reservation.
The old housekeeper is also the only person in this other world that he can truly trust.
Except for the matter of time travel that cannot be told to the old butler, Lin Rong will not hide any other things that the old butler wants to ask.
Lin Rong recalled what had happened before, and tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes.
With his vision blurred by tears, the old housekeeper stretched out his fingers to wipe away his tears.
It’s nice to have an elder by your side who really cares about you, really!
