Lin Xiao sat in the guest room, his eyes slightly closed, feeling the changes in the soul power within his body and the energy of the surrounding world.
Being on Sea God Island was indeed different from being on the Douluo Continent; even the surrounding energy of heaven and earth seemed a bit more active.
While meditating, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped his actions and opened his eyes to look toward the door. Chen Haisheng was walking in from outside.
"Lin brother, sorry to keep you waiting. I encountered people from the merfolk clan and brought the two of you back to the island, so I had to inform the others in the clan, which caused some delay just now."
"Brother Chen, there's no need for that." Lin Xiao stood up. "I originally came out to sea with Liya to find her mother. Now that the purpose has been achieved, I don't plan to stay here for long."
"Lin brother, what are you saying?" Chen Haisheng's face showed some displeasure. "Before, it was me who didn't appear and caused Lin brother to misunderstand. I should be the one to entertain Lin brother properly."
As he spoke, Chen Haisheng stepped forward and pulled Lin Xiao to sit down, then sat down on the side himself. "Lin brother may not know, but I have been cultivating since childhood and later took on this guardian position. I really haven't had the chance to go to other places."
"I have heard that there are many interesting things on land. Lin brother comes from the land; I wonder if you could tell me some interesting things about the land?"
Lin Xiao looked at Chen Haisheng, who had a serious expression on his face. For a moment, he really couldn't tell whether Chen Haisheng had other intentions or if he was truly such a simple person full of curiosity about the land.
"Then, I'll start with soul tools. Speaking of which, the appearance of soul tools has caused quite a stir..."
Lin Xiao sighed inwardly and ultimately did not refuse Chen Haisheng.
It was not until the sun was setting in the west and the sky outside had darkened that the voices of the two people talking in the room gradually slowed down.
"Is this the soul tool for lighting that Lin brother mentioned?"
Chen Haisheng looked at the glowing object that Lin Xiao had taken out and placed on the table, examining it with considerable curiosity.
"This thing looks somewhat like some soul beasts in the sea. Those soul beasts in the deep sea can also emit some light, and it's not glaring."
"If Brother Chen likes it, you can keep this soul tool here. You just need to inject soul power into it at regular intervals and press the switch to use it for lighting at night."
The Sun Moon Empire's soul tool development was rapid, and some small portable rechargeable soul tools had already become widespread. Even among these simple soul tools, they were commonly seen.
However, Chen Haisheng had rarely come into contact with soul tools before, so he naturally didn't know the value of rechargeable soul tools.
"This..."
"Please don't be polite, Brother Chen. These little gadgets, I can make them casually."
"Then I won't refuse." After Chen Haisheng accepted, he seemed to suddenly realize something. "Oh, it's getting late. I'll arrange a meal for Lin's brother right away."
"Sea God Island has abundant seafood. Lin's brother should try our food here and see how it differs from that on land."
Chen Haisheng seemed unwilling to let too many people on the island see Lin Xiao, who had come from outside. During their conversation, there was no one else outside. Lin Xiao agreed and then saw Chen Haisheng personally go out to make the arrangements.
When Chen Haisheng returned, his expression was slightly awkward. Although it wasn't obvious and seemed well hidden in the night, Lin Xiao still noticed it clearly.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao took the initiative to speak. "I see Brother Chen's complexion doesn't look good. Is there something on your mind?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Haisheng finally let out a long sigh. "Earlier, when listening to Lin brother, it seems that soul masters like Lin brother, who use soul tools to fight... soul mentors, can exert power beyond that of ordinary soul masters?"
"This also varies from person to person." Lin Xiao shook his head. "But the current consensus on the land is that the combination of soul masters and soul mentors is the final form of soul tool development."
"Then what kind of soul tool does Lin brother think would suit me?"
Hearing Chen Haisheng ask this, Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. "Why is Brother Chen suddenly bringing this up?"
"To be honest, with Brother Chen's strength, there are probably very few places where soul tools would be useful. Moreover, Brother Chen has never come into contact with soul tools before. Suddenly using soul tools in combat might even restrict your own power."
"Sigh, how could I not know..." Chen Haisheng's voice lowered. He looked up at Lin Xiao, his eyes moving slightly as if pondering something.
Suddenly, he stood up and glanced outside. Seeing no one else around, he sat back down in his chair.
"When I first met Lin brother, I saw that Lin brother went into the deep sea for the sake of the merfolk clan. Now that we've talked so pleasantly, although we hadn't met before, I know that Lin brother must be a renowned person on the continent who has a heart full of righteousness."
To be honest, Chen Haisheng's words rarely made Lin Xiao feel a strange sensation in his heart.
After all, on the Douluo Continent, those who knew his background had never said such things about him. In this world, this was the first time he had heard such an evaluation.
"Brother Chen overpraises me. How could I deserve such a title?" Lin Xiao looked at Chen Haisheng. "It's just that I saw Brother Chen's complexion didn't look good earlier, so I thought there must be some unspeakable difficulty."
"Sigh, since Lin brother is asking, I won't hide it anymore." At this point, Chen Haisheng sat up straighter. "To be honest, when I invited Lin brother to the island, I indeed had one more reluctant request."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao felt much more at ease in his heart.
A stranger he had just met not long ago not only invited him to Sea God Island, which didn't receive outsiders much, but was also very polite in his words. If there was no other purpose, that would have made Lin Xiao suspicious.
Now that he heard Chen Haisheng had another request, he instead felt it was only natural.
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Xiao himself also had other plans. After pondering for a few breaths, he quickly broke the silence in the room. "I wonder what difficulty Brother Chen has. If there's any place I can help, I will naturally do my best without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Haisheng's expression became somewhat excited. "Not hiding it from Lin brother, this matter actually started a few years ago."
"Although I have taken on the guardian position and received the cultivation from my grandfather... that is, the previous guardian, I have never used this power skillfully."
"Before, the sea was calm, and I could handle some small matters. But a few years ago, a soul beast with extremely high cultivation suddenly appeared in the sea."
"What kind of soul beast was it?" Lin Xiao immediately became interested upon hearing this.
"I don't know the details. That soul beast not only has astonishing cultivation but also extremely keen perception. It would detect my presence before I even got close."
"I haven't fully mastered my power yet, and I felt I was no match for it, so I always hurried back each time."
"However, after these few contacts, I discovered that the soul beast carried a kind of strange aura, similar to the one we saw earlier in the merfolk clan's territory..."
