Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 717 - 497: World Stone, Heart-protecting Mirror

Soul-searching.

A long time ago, when Lu Lin first acquired the Lingtian Secret Skill, he thought about using soul-searching to obtain some hidden intelligence.

But he never had the opportunity.

This time, it was just the right chance to test it on Yan Mei.

Now Yan Mei had lost all her Star Power, and her Life Force was nearly depleted, only hanging on by a strong will to survive.

Lu Lin had already decided to kill her, and at this moment, he wanted to make good use of her.

His Spiritual Strength entered Yan Mei's Consciousness Universe in a strange way, and it was as if he was watching a movie, Lu Lin witnessed Yan Mei's entire life.

Speaking of which, Yan Mei was also a pitiful person... no, a pitiful fox.

Yan Mei, in her childhood, was discovered to have extraordinary Talent, and was captured and raised on Qingqiu Mountain.

There were many like her.

Most of the foxes would die in missions and daily training, and a small portion with enough cultivation Talent could, like Yan Mei, pass through many trials and become the servant of an official Sect disciple.

Of course, nominally, they assumed the identity of the junior brother or Junior Sister of those disciples.

In addition to dying in endless missions or becoming the servant of an official disciple, there was another path for them.

This path led to becoming an official disciple of Qingqiu Mountain through a series of examinations and tests.

However, although some foxes could walk this path, it was extremely difficult.

In a hundred years, only a few dozen foxes could achieve this step.

Returning to the story, Yan Mei stood out from one mission after another, becoming the servant of Yan Zhenzhen, responsible for matters regarding small worlds.

Collecting intelligence, gathering resources, collecting treasures, amassing followers.

Over time, Yan Mei became a person of high status, overseeing dozens of small worlds.

However, due to her limited cultivation aptitude, she was continuously surpassed by newcomers and had now become a marginalized figure under Yan Zhenzhen.

If it weren't for the intelligence Yan Zhenzhen received earlier, which required contact and trade with the Outer Fox Clan, and the chosen location happened to be in Pine Mountain World, Yan Mei might have been forgotten by Yan Zhenzhen long ago.

After becoming a marginalized figure, Yan Mei reflected deeply on her situation.

She analyzed that her downfall was due to a lack of wisdom, or what is commonly known as insufficient Enlightenment.

To supplement and enhance her Enlightenment, Yan Mei let herself go in Pine Mountain World.

Enslaving Humans, claiming to be a God, and harvesting all life.

And indeed, over the years, Yan Mei's cultivation improved several times.

She advanced from the Star Lord Mid-stage to the Star Lord Peak stage.

However, her fate was sealed the moment Lu Lin arrived here.

Now...

Lu Lin looked at Yan Mei, lying on the ground, breathing out far more than in, foaming at the mouth, her body convulsing. He decided to show some humanity and let her ascend to heaven sooner.

From Yan Mei's memory, Lu Lin gained some understanding of Longyuan World, but the biggest gain was two-fold.

The method to traverse small worlds.

This was an issue Lu Lin had previously noticed, but due to identity reasons, he was unable to ask Li Yuan or Ti Hu. Now, from Yan Mei's memory, he learned that the reason these people could travel through various small worlds was entirely due to a World Stone.

World Stones are divided into three grades: Top Grade, Middle Grade, and Lower Grade.

A Lower Grade stone can tread into small worlds, a Middle Grade stone can travel to Great Worlds, and a Top Grade World Stone can traverse to the Main World.

Additionally, World Stones have a range of Support functions like space searching and target positioning.

After Yan Mei's death, Lu Lin discovered a World Stone in her Storage Ring. His Spiritual Strength entered it, and Lu Lin quickly established ownership, obtaining the spatial coordinates of nine small worlds. If Lu Lin desired, he could travel to these small worlds at any time using the World Stone.

Among these nine small worlds, Lu Lin knew from Yan Mei's memory that they were either worlds she had been responsible for or had entered during missions.

In these nine worlds, there were no other forces present.

Lu Lin was secretly delighted; he could explore these worlds thoroughly later on.

In addition to the World Stone, Lu Lin also obtained a peculiar Heart-protecting Mirror from a piece of armor.

Lu Lin didn't recognize the Heart-protecting Mirror at first.

It was housed in a porcelain bottle, and Lu Lin initially thought it was some sort of elixir. But when it poured into his hand, the Heart-protecting Mirror flowed towards Lu Lin's heart, startling him.

In Yan Mei's memory, Lu Lin only knew it was a treasure, but Yan Mei herself didn't understand what it really was.

Lu Lin hastily tried to remove the liquid that kept moving upwards, but the moment he touched it, the liquid moved even more rapidly, as if it had a life of its own.

After trying several methods, Lu Lin finally used his Spiritual Strength to establish ownership and learned the origin of this liquid.

Heart-protecting Mirror.

This liquid was indeed a crucial part of an armor piece, the Heart-protecting Mirror.

Upon discovering this information, Lu Lin found it even more suspicious.

Using this as a Heart-protecting Mirror seemed like inviting an enemy to "stab here."

However, after his Spiritual Strength entered it, Lu Lin completed the ownership of this Heart-protecting Mirror. Though it seemed useless, he couldn't dispose of it either. So Lu Lin simply threw it into his Storage Ring for future study when he had the time.
