"Of course it's true, but I need a few days," the old man said confidently.
"What, it will take several days," Lin San frowned.
"What's wrong? You can't wait any longer," the old man glanced at Lin San.
"No...I just..." Lin San said hesitantly.
The old man smiled: "Don't worry about leaving the box here with me,"
Lin San twitched the corner of his mouth and acquiesced.
"Let's do this. You can stay here for a few days and just watch me open the box." The old man was quite thoughtful.
Lin San thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The old man put the box gently on the table: "There is something I want to tell you clearly in advance,"
"Say," Lin San looked at the old man doubtfully, not understanding what the old man wanted to say.
"I pay a price for unlocking..." the old man said slowly.
Lin San waved his right hand lightly, and a pile of spiritual stones appeared on the table: "Are these enough?"
The old man's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency is really generous. Don't worry, I will definitely open the lock within three days." After saying that, the old man put away the spirit stone, then took out a set of worn-out tools and started trying to open the lock. Open the long lock on the wooden box.
Lin San sat quietly and watched.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
In the past three days, Lin San didn't go anywhere. He just stayed at the Shensuo Shop to "monitor" the old man's unlocking.
The old man was indeed an expert. After three days of unremitting efforts, he finally got a key.
"Can this key really open the long lock on the box?" Lin San looked at a bronze key on the table in surprise.
The old man smiled and said, "Whether it works or not, you will know after you try it." As he spoke, the old man picked up the bronze key and inserted it into the long lock on the wooden box.
"Click," the bronze key actually inserted into the long lock.
"We're in," Lin San said with a happy face.
The old man picked up the bronze key and turned it three times to the left and three times to the right, and then gently picked it up. "Click," the long lock opened.
"It's open," Lin San stood up from his chair excitedly.
The old man exhaled softly and raised his hand to open the lid of the box.
"Bang," Lin San suddenly reached out and snatched the wooden box over.
The old man was stunned and looked at Lin San blankly: "What are you..."
Lin San smiled: "The contents of the box are very important, I don't want others to see them,"
"Oh, haha... I just lost my composure, fellow Taoist, don't take it off," the old man felt a little unhappy, but it didn't show on his face.
"I have disturbed fellow Taoists these past three days, I will repay you someday," Lin San said hello, took the wooden box and left the shop.
By the time the old man came to his senses and chased him out of the room, Lin San had long disappeared.
…
After leaving Shensuo Shop, Lin San returned to the inn as quickly as possible.
"Hey, Junior Brother Lin, you're back. Where have you been these past few days? Everyone is worried that something will happen to you." Li Tao was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. When he saw Lin San suddenly barging in from the courtyard door, he was stunned. Lived.
"Oh, I went to do some personal things these days," Lin San said perfunctorily, and walked directly into his room.
After closing the door, Lin San walked to the chair and sat down, picked up the teapot and drank a few sips.
After his mood calmed down, Lin San took out the wooden box, took off the long lock, and then slowly opened the lid of the box.
Lin San looked inside the box and was stunned.
There was actually a small pot placed in the box. The small pot was green in color and had a square shape. It looked very old and simple.
"What is this?" Lin San was surprised and took out the small pot. The small pot was so light that he could hardly feel its weight in his hand. After shaking it gently for a few times, he could vaguely hear water flowing in the pot. sound.
Lin San pondered for a moment, then reached out and took off the lid of the pot.
A burst of fragrance suddenly floated out from the pot.
"It smells so good," Lin San praised, lowered his head and looked into the pot: "Hey, it's empty. I heard the sound of running water just now." As he spoke, Lin San picked up the small pot and shook it a few more times. Next, this time there was no movement from the pot.
Lin San frowned, put the lid back on the pot, and then shook it a few times. This time, the sound of running water could be heard clearly from the pot. When he took the lid off again, the sound of running water was heard. It disappeared immediately. After several experiments, Lin San finally figured out that as long as he closed the lid and shook the small pot gently, a slight sound of running water would come from the pot. Once the lid was removed, the sound of running water would stop. Disappeared immediately.
"What a strange little pot," Lin San held the little pot with both hands and kept looking through it: "What on earth is this little pot?" Lin San looked through it for a long time, but couldn't find out what the little pot was. In the end, Lin San had no choice but to check inside the wooden box, hoping to find something introducing the origin of the small pot.
There was a piece of yellowing fur covered in the wooden box. Lin San reached out to take the fur away and found that there was a small hole at the bottom of the box, with a piece of white jade placed in the hole.
This piece of jade is so crystal clear that it looks like something extraordinary at first glance.
Lin San put down the fur, reached out and took out the jade piece from the box. A cool feeling came from the jade piece, and there was also a faint fragrance. Lin San looked at the jade piece and murmured to himself: " What is this jade piece, how could it be... uh," Lin San suddenly thought of something and directly put the jade piece on his forehead, and a stream of words suddenly flashed in Lin San's mind.
a long time……
Lin Sancai slowly took the jade piece away from his forehead, and the expression on his face became a little excited.
The jade piece is actually a kind of letter paper, which records the origin and use of the small pot. According to the record in the jade piece: the name of the small pot is "demon refining pot", which is one of the ten ancient artifacts. As the name suggests, the demon refining pot is used to It is a divine treasure that suppresses and subdues demons. According to rumors, the demon refining pot can create all things and has amazing destructive power. There is a strange space inside. The space is so big that it seems that the world can be contained in the pot. Of course, this is just a rumor. No one has ever tried to use a demon refining pot to contain heaven and earth.
The jade piece also said that the demon refining pot has a special skill, which is that it can refine demon elixirs into elixirs that increase mana. The higher the level of the demon elixirs, the better the appearance of the elixirs will be. .
Lin San let out a long breath. He never expected that the box contained the Demon Refining Pot, one of the ten ancient artifacts.
"You can refine demon pills into elixirs that increase your magic power," Lin San seemed a little unconvinced. He flipped his wrist and two demon pills appeared in his palm, one big, one small, and the other big. It was given as a gift by the woodcutter two days ago. The small one was obtained by Lin San who had just arrived in the spirit world and killed a monster on the mountain.
Lin San licked his dry lips, shook his hand, threw two demon pills into the demon refining pot, and then closed the lid tightly.
According to the record on the jade tablet, it takes twelve hours before the demon refining pot can refine the demon pill into a pill that enhances mana.
Lin San put away the demon refining pot, then sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.
