Chapter 112: Being Followed
Inside the box was a jet-black stone, and the special spatial power emanated from this stone.
At first glance, this stone is unremarkable and has nothing special about it.
However, Shi Lin knew that this stone should be a kind of mineral with spatial properties, and the spatial ability contained within it would be of great help to him in refining Gu worms.
"Grandpa, how much is this ore?" Shi Lin reached out, slowly closed the box, and then asked the old man with a smile.
"Three thousand… no, two thousand five hundred gold soul coins will do." The old man's voice trembled slightly as he spoke to Shi Lin.
"Deal." Shi Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man with a cold smile.
This is really too strange, which means that there is something wrong with this old man, a very big problem.
Next, Shi Lin took out two thousand five hundred gold soul coins from his soul tool and handed them to the old man. After receiving the wooden box, he carefully examined it and then put the box into his soul tool.
This is the safest place on Shi Lin's body.
After carefully storing the ore, Shi Lin led the few children behind him away from the black market.
After all, the black market is a mixed bag, and Shi Lin was worried about the little guys wandering around in the black market. If they really got lost, it would be a real problem.
After watching Shi Lin leave the black market, the old man, whose voice had been hoarse, slowly straightened up and stared intently at the departing figures of Shi Lin and his companions, his eyes filled with longing.
"Greetings, Boss." Two men in black robes approached the old man and bowed respectfully.
"Go and guard the city gate. We'll eat meat when they leave the city," the old man said with a sinister smile as he took off his hat, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
It was obvious that the rock was used as bait for fishing, and Shi Lin and his friends were the big fish.
However, it remains to be seen who is the bait and who is the fish.
...
After leaving the black market, Shi Lin and his companions immediately took off their black robes.
He took out a wooden box from his soul tool and glanced at the ore inside.
Shi Lin hesitated for a moment, then threw the box into the stinking ditch by the street, while the ore was put into a different box before being stored in his soul tool.
Shi Lin knew this thing was abnormal, but he still wanted to buy it. Perhaps the Gu worms refined from this thing could become his second contracted Gu worm.
As for danger, Shi Lin and the others are all Soul Masters. Even if there are Soul Masters among these thieves, Shi Lin is confident that he can escape.
Just as Shi Lin left the black market, he sensed that someone was following him and his companions.
Shi Lin glanced back, then stopped caring.
Shi Lin and his companions were not locals of Heaven Dou City, so if someone really wanted to find out where they were, they could easily locate them.
Shi Lin was certain that these people wouldn't make a move in Heaven Dou City, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
Moreover, Shi Lin also felt that he might have been set up.
However, Shi Lin got what he wanted, so it wasn't a loss.
After leaving the black market, Shi Lin realized it was already noon, and everyone's stomachs were starting to rumble.
"Let's go out for dinner. Let's see what kind of food Heaven Dou City has. It's on me." Shi Lin waved his hand and led the group to dinner.
Shi Lin sensed that the people following him hadn't given up yet.
However, Shi Lin didn't care. If they wanted to follow, so be it. He just needed to be careful and not make a move in Heaven Dou City.
Besides his ability to conceal his presence, Shi Lin has another trump card: any petty thief would die if he used it.
After leaving the black market, the group swaggered off to a restaurant to have a meal.
After dinner, Shi Lin and his friends strolled around Heaven Dou City.
...
As the sun set, Shi Lin and his companions returned laden with their spoils; their soul tools were filled with all sorts of food, drinks, toys, books…
Back at the hotel, the group prepared to have dinner in a private room.
After finishing their meal, Ma Hongjun mysteriously approached Shi Lin.
"Brother Lin, I feel like someone's following us today," Ma Hongjun said to Shi Lin, scratching his head.
Even Ma Hongjun, who had absolutely no experience in the ways of the world, noticed the problem. Of course, Shi Lin and Shi An had already noticed it long ago, but since Shi Lin didn't react, Shi An didn't say anything either.
"I deliberately let them discover us, because I wanted to use their strength to test our true strength. You two haven't had the chance to fight a Soul Master to the death before, have you? This is a good opportunity." Shi Lin smiled and said to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
Originally, Shi Lin did not want to be followed, but it was obvious that the people who were targeting him were repeat offenders, and he could not shake them off in Heaven Dou City.
So since they can't escape it, they should figure out a way to deal with it.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar, instead of panicking, were quite lively, seemingly ready for battle.
After all, if you've already become a Soul Master, why would you be afraid of killing someone?
"Alright, let's stay in Heaven Dou City for another three days, mainly to buy some Soul Master Manuals and some unique supplies of Heaven Dou City. During the next three days, be careful and cautious, and don't act alone, understand?" Shi Lin earnestly instructed the people in front of him.
Shi Lin has already bought everything he wanted, so he no longer needs to stay in Heaven Dou City.
They'll procure some supplies as soon as possible and then leave Heaven Dou City.
After all, they still need to get their father to absorb the spirit ring as soon as possible.
"Understood!" the group replied.
"After you've eaten, go back and rest," Shi Lin said with a wave of his hand and a smile to the people in front of him.
"Okay," the group replied, then turned and left.
After watching the group leave, Shi Lin found the waiter and took out two blueprints he had drawn the night before: blueprints for a simple house and a defensive wagon.
Both of these blueprints were meticulously designed by Shi Lin. They allow for the addition of an outer layer of iron armor to increase defense, as well as the use of various mechanisms and the installation of soul guides.
"Waiter, go to the best carpentry shop in Heaven Dou City, give them these two blueprints, and ask if they can make it within three days. This is the deposit." Shi Lin took out a gold soul coin and handed it to the waiter.
"Yes, young master, I'll get right on it and do it right away." The waiter knew that Shi Lin was generous, so he took the blueprints and left the restaurant.
After watching the waiter leave, Shi Lin stood up and went back to his room.
I'm going to study the special ore I got from the black market.
