Unlike Huo Yuhao, Wang Lin was born into a small noble family, and his family life was relatively happy and fulfilling.
However, whether it was because he was a transmigrator or not, when he was nine years old, his parents encountered an attack by Evil Soul Masters and both died.
Leaving behind a Viscount title of the Star Luo Empire that wasn't of much use, some inheritance, and Wang Lin, an orphan.
Therefore, Wang Lin's purchase of the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife was actually a matter of necessity.
As an orphan, it was inevitable that inexplicable relatives would covet his inheritance. Although not a huge amount, assets close to three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins were still a significant sum.
Half of it was used by Wang Lin to buy the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, and most of the rest was used to send away his "relatives".
Thanks to the illustrious reputation of this carving knife, the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife had been preserved by Wang Lin until now.
Originally, Wang Lin thought that if he could snatch the Skydream Ice Silkworm and bring Electrolux along, this Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife could be purified by Electrolux's power and be useful.
But plans couldn't keep up with changes. The Skydream Ice Silkworm simply didn't take a liking to him.
And Electrolux's soul fragment was attracted from the void during Skydream's fusion.
Without the Skydream Ice Silkworm's possession, Wang Lin naturally couldn't get Electrolux either.
So the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife he spent one hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins to buy had largely become a piece of trash, and this trash might even have negative effects on him.
Pondering, Wang Lin still picked up the carving knife from the jade box.
Buzz!
As the ancient carving knife, thin as a cicada's wing, came into his hand, the blade released a slight humming sound.
Wang Lin held the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife and suddenly aimed it at the center of his own brows, making a gesture to stab down.
But the tip of the knife stopped hovering one centimeter away from his brow.
"Heh..."
Wang Lin wore a self-deprecating smile on his face.
He wasn't Huo Yuhao; there was no Electrolux in his spiritual sea to help purify the ferocious aura in the knife.
Huo Yuhao stabbing his own brow could open the Eye of Life.
But if Wang Lin stabbed himself like that, with good luck, he might transmigrate again; with bad luck, the only result would be dropping dead.
Thinking this, Wang Lin put the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife back into the jade box.
He reached out and touched his brow, a trace of desolation in his eyes.
For the past three days, Wang Lin had been thinking about why the Skydream Ice Silkworm didn't choose him.
If not counting the predetermined "destiny," then the biggest reason should be because his spiritual sea was in a sealed state.
If the materialized mental power was a benign mutation of his martial soul, then the sealed spiritual sea was a malignant mutation of his martial soul.
Of course, the conclusion of a malignant mutation wasn't drawn by him, but was the conclusion reached after his parents hired someone to check his condition when he was young.
The impact wasn't huge, it just meant the difficulty of cultivation after level seventy would increase significantly.
Wang Lin wanting the Skydream Ice Silkworm was partly due to this reason.
A million-year mental attribute soul beast.
Even if this soul beast's racial stats were low, its level was high, and it was of the same attribute.
Breaking open Wang Lin's sealed spiritual sea would definitely not be a difficult task for the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
Not to mention this "sugar daddy" could also attach a second martial soul.
Really want the Skydream Ice Silkworm.jpg
Casually placing the jade box by the bed, Wang Lin lay back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, thinking about how to walk the path ahead.
Huo Yuhao had many opportunities, but the ones he knew of and "possibly" had a chance to get his hands on...
Besides the failed Skydream Ice Silkworm and this useless Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife on the bed, the only thing left was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
For the hope of becoming a god and eternal life in the future, Wang Lin inevitably couldn't give up on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He had to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before Huo Yuhao ruined the immortal herbs inside.
He remembered his handsome friend complaining that this idiot Huo Yuhao turned the immortal herbs that allowed the Shrek Seven Devils of the first series to become gods into the Universe Creation Pill, which looked impressive but was actually not very useful.
Immortal herbs that originally had various magical effects and could improve aptitude were turned into a pill that could only be used for leveling up.
Of course, saying it wasn't very useful wasn't entirely true either; after all, Huo Yuhao and the others gained quite a few levels relying on the Universe Creation Pill, and Xuan Zi even relied on this pill to break through to level ninety-nine.
But thinking of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Wang Lin inevitably got a headache.
Entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had restrictions.
Moreover, unlike in the first Douluo series, the immortal herbs inside were soul beasts, and most of them had self-awareness.
According to the description in the original text, he might not even be able to withstand the layer of poison mist outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well alone.
Even if he got in, he still didn't know how to deal with those immortal herb soul beasts; he had no confidence in dealing with a group of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
If he had the Skydream Ice Silkworm, this problem would no longer be a problem.
Skydream meant the Ice Empress, as well as transcendent talent.
Leaving aside other things, the Ultimate Ice brought by the Ice Empress could ensure he had the ability to pass through that layer of mist.
Damn it, really want the Skydream Ice Silkworm again.jpg
But to be honest, in this current situation, Wang Lin was even more reluctant to part with the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife that was already in his hands but unusable.
If there was a way to resolve the curse on it and turn it into the state of Life Gold, that would be a truly good thing.
According to the explanation in the original work, Life Gold is the solid purified form of life force.
Simply put, it is metal formed by an incredibly immense amount of life force condensed together.
This shows the preciousness of Life Gold.
But the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife was pure garbage, and damn harmful garbage at that.
He couldn't even sell this broken thing easily now.
After all, the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife had been stuck in the hands of the Starlight Auction House for a long time, and they had finally encountered a "fool" like him.
The look the auctioneer gave him when he bought the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife back then, looking at a "sucker," was still vivid in Wang Lin's mind.
While feeling regret in his heart and calling himself an idiot at the same time, Wang Lin's mind also recalled the content regarding the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
It is said that the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife has a history of over three thousand years.
Its original owner was a level 9 Soul Engineer and also an Evil Soul Master.
The curse remaining in the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife was said to be left by that Evil Soul Master.
Moreover, according to the booklet recording the past owners of the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife given to him by the Starlight Auction House, the curse initially attacked the owner's spiritual sea.
A Titled Douluo level Evil Soul Master...
Wait, attacks the spiritual sea!?
Thinking this, Wang Lin sat up abruptly and hurriedly picked up the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
He remembered that in the original work, when Huo Yuhao unsealed the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife immediately attacked Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea as well.
Others were afraid of their spiritual sea being attacked, but Wang Lin wasn't!
Previously, his family had found someone to check his condition.
A Soul Saint was completely helpless against his sealed spiritual sea.
That Soul Saint had stated very clearly that Wang Lin's sealed spiritual sea could not be shaken by anyone other than a Titled Douluo.
This showed how tough his spiritual sea was.
To solve the problem of Wang Lin's spiritual sea, they could only seek a Titled Douluo to slowly wear down the outer wall of his spiritual sea, and the process would also cause some loss to the Titled Douluo's mental power.
With family assets of no more than three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins and a title of merely Viscount, Wang Lin's family naturally couldn't afford the price to have a Titled Douluo take action.
But if he let the curse in the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife attack his spiritual sea...
Breaking open the sealed spiritual sea while using the spiritual sea to wear down the curse of the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife...
Thereby killing two birds with one stone.
While breaking open the spiritual sea, he could also get his hands on the Life Gold.
Once the bold idea appeared, it could no longer be contained.
