8. Soul Contract
"Princess Luo, can you tell me what type of magic weapon that was damaged?"
In the silence, a slightly childish voice came from Room 22.
Luo Youran, who had already despaired, heard the question and hurriedly opened her tightly closed eyes, looked in the direction where the voice came from and answered.
"I have seen it once. It should be a flying magic weapon. It looks like a boat, but it is covered with a layer of unknown spiritual iron. Due to damage, you can directly enter the interior. There are many incomprehensible electric wires inside. There are many mirrors and some buttons on the bow. Father once sent people to press those buttons, and they would make some incomprehensible sounds. There are also some things I can't tell you."
Luo Youran said all these words in one breath and looked at him expectantly.
"Spaceship! Could it be the alien spaceship I was thinking of? But I don't know if the sect will save me from this trouble."
Lin Ji was a little confused. This might be a spaceship that could be used for interstellar travel. After thinking it over, he made up his mind.
"I have to ask my uncle to confirm whether I can help, so can you come with me?"
"This is the only chance I have now, of course."
Luo Youran looked at the other silent rooms around him and agreed.
"Meet me on the first floor of Zuixian Tower. I have a token hanging on my waist."
After leaving this sentence, Lin Ji left the auction venue, leaving only Luo Youran and the old man in the entire venue.
"Princess, do you really want to go? If not, I can fake your own death to get you out."
"Uncle Feng, I can't drag you down anymore. Although you are a servant brought by my sister when she married, my sister died a long time ago. You are a great help to let me see the Emperor of Liang. We may never see each other again after this farewell. Please take care!"
After saying that, Luo Youran also left the venue, leaving the old man alone sighing.
Lin Ji was waiting at the task reception counter on the first floor of Zuixianlou, looking at the tasks on the bulletin board to pass the time.
"Here it comes," Lin Ji sensed the presence of someone behind him.
"Excuse me, are you the guest of No. 22?"
Doubtful words sounded behind Lin Ji, and Luo Youran walked in slowly.
"Yes, my name is Lin Ji, come with me."
Lin Ji had no intention of communicating. After all, he was not sure whether he could save her, so he left Zuixianlou first. Luo Youran thought about it and finally followed him.
……
A dozen people were seated in a luxurious hall.
"Master, are we really going to rob Shuntianhou Mansion?"
A voice asked with a hint of fear, and the boy at the main seat, who was about 17 years old, looked at him and answered.
"What's so scary? That map is very important to our Wang family. We must get it!"
"Yes!" More than a dozen people answered at the same time.
"So, Master, do we have any specific plans?"
"We have received news that the people from Hou Mansion will leave the capital at midnight tonight. We will ambush them 10 miles away. Don't kill anyone if you can avoid it. The second son of Hou Mansion, Fang Shen, must not be killed. I know the conditions are a bit harsh, so we have external aid."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a figure appeared in the hall. He was dressed in black with only his eyes and ears exposed.
"Let me introduce you to the Blood Killing Tower's Silver Medal Assassin, Foundation Establishment Monk Miyan. He is good at illusions and poisons. It's a sure thing if we ask him to help us this time, hahaha!"
After saying this, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
……
They arrived at the front of the palace and entered without any obstruction. On the way, Luo Youran wanted to speak several times but held back. But now that she was in the palace, she couldn't help but ask.
"Lin Ji, who are you?"
"Disciple of Xuantian Sect, don't ask the rest. If my uncle doesn't agree to save you, then I can't do anything about it."
After answering, Lin Ji continued to lead Luo Youran to Qingxinyuan. Looking at the room where Uncle Ye had turned off the lights, he thought about it and went to knock on the door. Just as he was about to knock, the door was opened. Uncle Ye kept the door open and asked.
"It's so late, Lin Ji, do you have anything else to do? And you brought a beautiful girl with you, aren't you afraid that your junior sister will be jealous?"
Listening to Uncle Ye's teasing, Lin Ji smiled awkwardly and told him about Luo Youran.
"This is the princess of Heng Country. She is being hunted down because her country was destroyed. She hopes to exchange her soul contract with the damaged magic weapon for asylum. I value the magic weapon she described very much, so I came to ask Uncle Master if your sect can protect her?"
"Who is hunting her?"
Uncle Ye asked.
"It's the Blood Demon Sect. They destroyed Heng Kingdom because of their territorial expansion, and then they wanted to wipe out the entire Heng Kingdom royal family. Now I am the only one left in the royal family. Please, Immortal..."
Luo Youran's heartbroken voice was heard, coupled with her sweet voice, it was easy to attract other people's favor, but Uncle Ye didn't buy it.
"Shut up! I didn't ask you."
Luo Youran was so frightened by the shout of "shut up" that her face turned pale and she dared not speak anymore. Lin Ji glanced at her, shook his head and said.
"As she said, but I'm interested in that magic weapon. Its description is very similar to the technology described in the book "Travels in Kaiyang Galaxy"."
"I see. You can protect her. The Blood Demon Sect is nothing to the Xuantian Sect. However, the resources the sect provides you will be reduced in the future. You will need to fight for it yourself. Think it over."
Hearing this, Luo Youran's expression improved. She looked at Lin Ji with her big eyes, but did not dare to speak.
"Think it over. Protect her and take a gamble for that magic weapon."
After hearing Lin Ji's words, Uncle Ye said nothing more, but went into the room with a gloomy face and closed the door.
"follow me."
The two came to Lin Ji's room. Lin Ji sat on the chair. Luo Youran looked around and didn't dare to sit down.
"Let's sign the soul contract."
"Yes…"
Luo Youran closed her eyes. After a few minutes, a ray of light flew from her head to Lin Ji's eyes. Lin Ji directly refined it, and then Luo Youran fell to the ground with a pale face.
Lin Ji glanced at it and ignored it, feeling the effect of the contract. It could destroy her soul at any time, control her to do anything, and know whether she was lying.
"Where is that magic weapon?"
Faced with Lin Ji's question, Luo Youran forced himself to answer.
"It is 1000 meters underground in the Hengguo Palace. It is surrounded by spiritual iron that shields spiritual power. At least it was definitely not discovered before I left."
"So you're not sure? What else can you do?"
"Although I didn't work hard in my training and I'm only at the sixth level of Qi training, I have a superior talent and will definitely be able to help you when you reach the foundation building stage. I've also read the books on that magic weapon and I know some of those strange words."
Hearing Lin Ji's unfriendly tone, Luo Youran hurriedly explained his role.
"What have you learned from those books?"
Lin Ji was very interested in the books on magic weapons. Luo Youran felt relieved when he found out that Lin Ji was interested.
"Many of those books are about managing countries and cities, and they contain numbers and data that I can't understand."
"Management books? They are of no use to me right now."
After thinking for a while, Lin Ji spoke.
"There's no room for you here, but you've already reached the sixth level of Qi training, so it doesn't matter if you don't sleep. You'd better practice hard to help me."
After saying that, Lin Ji returned to the bed and started practicing. Although he was only at the third level of Qi training, he could already compress his sleep to 2 hours.
In order to avoid being abandoned, Luo Youran also began to practice.
