Rise in Douluo Continent with the help of bean buns

Back in the quiet room in the backyard, Lin Chen dismissed his attendants and placed the wooden box on the stone table.

He condensed a wisp of gentle, blue-silver herbal life force at his fingertips and slowly coated the surface of the carving knife. The gray, yin energy that had been lingering around it melted away rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, revealing the carving knife itself.

The dark gold blade was warm and translucent, gleaming with a soft light. When touched by the fingertips, it was not cold at all; instead, a warm life force spread from the fingertips, bringing peace to the mind.

The true nature of the living gold has finally been revealed.

Lin Chen sat down cross-legged, his fingertips gently tracing the blade, his mind quickly reviewing the original plot.

Electrocution, the Necromancer God on the throne of the Divine Seal, the Scourge of the Undead.

He was once one of the strongest beings in that plane, holding life and death in his hands, commanding the undead, and his fame shook the entire plane.

Later, for reasons unknown, he perished. A wisp of his divine consciousness, carrying a portion of his inheritance, traversed the spatial turbulence and fell deep into the Star Dou Great Forest of Douluo Continent.

The remnant soul was extremely weak and in a semi-dormant state, and could dissipate completely at any time.

In the original novel, when Huo Yuhao encountered the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Star Dou Great Forest, he accidentally triggered this remnant soul.

Later, he obtained the Gold of Life. The remnant soul of Electrolux was attracted by the Gold of Life and took the initiative to attach itself to it. With the nourishment of the Gold of Life, it slowly recovered and eventually became Huo Yuhao's third martial soul, helping him overcome countless crises.

It can be said that Electrolux's remnant soul combined with the Gold of Life was one of Huo Yuhao's most crucial opportunities in his early years.

And now, the gold of life is in his hands.

Lin Chen knew very well that remnant souls had a natural affinity for metal, the material of living beings.

This thing is like a beacon in the darkness, possessing a fatal attraction to weak, remnant souls.

As long as he brings the Gold of Life and appears near the area where the remnant soul of Electrox is located, the other party will definitely come looking for him.

The core conditions for intercepting the deal have already been met.

But he was not blinded by the opportunity.

Lin Chen calmly analyzed the risks and needs involved.

Who is Electrolux? He is a Necromancer Saint, and even in his weakened state, his soul fragments are not something a great Soul Master can easily control.

To seize this opportunity, having the gold of life is not enough; one must also have sufficient inner strength.

A complete plan slowly took shape in his mind.

There are four things in total, and they must be carried out steadily; none of them can be omitted.

The first thing is to improve one's own strength, especially mental strength.

To nurture a remnant soul, communicate with it, and even establish future cooperation, one's own mental strength is fundamental. The stronger one's mental strength, the greater one's control over the situation.

In addition, one's soul power level must be steadily increased. The third and fourth soul rings should be acquired according to plan, and the more solid the foundation, the better.

"For the next six months, I will focus on honing my mental and soul power foundation. I will choose a support/control type soul ring that is over a thousand years old to further enhance my mental and control abilities." Lin Chen set his direction in his mind.

[Recorded. The training plan has been adjusted, focusing on tempering mental power and nurturing the origin of martial soul.]

It is estimated that mental strength can be increased by another 40% within six months, meeting the basic threshold for initial contact with remnant souls.

The second thing is to accurately predict the time and place where the remnant soul of Electrox appeared.

According to the original timeline, Huo Yuhao encountered the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and came into contact with the remnant soul of Ilex when he participated in the Shrek Academy entrance exam and entered the Star Dou Great Forest for trials.

All things considered, there's still quite a long time.

There was plenty of time, enough for him to make thorough preparations.

The location is on the edge of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, near the area where the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sleeps.

The exact coordinates still need to be refined. Once the Soul Beast Encyclopedia is completed and a more detailed Star Map is obtained, the approximate range will be more accurately pinpointed.

"Over the next few years, we will gradually improve our intelligence on the core area of ​​the Star Dou region, conduct scouting in advance, and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Five years is enough time for him to arrange everything properly.

Thirdly, expand the high-end security force.

The core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous, with thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts everywhere, and ten ferocious beasts guarding it. Relying on the current four Soul Master guards, going in would be like sending them to their deaths.

To venture deep into the vicinity of the core area, one needs at least a Soul King-level combatant to ensure basic safety.

If there were a Soul Emperor-level retainer, that would be even more secure.

This matter can be addressed immediately. Heaven Dou City is full of hidden talents, including many down-on-their-luck high-level Soul Masters. As long as the price is right, we can always find a suitable candidate.

"We will soon find a suitable Soul King through an intermediary, offering him excellent treatment, and recruit three or four retainers to uphold our reputation and ensure our safety."

Money is no longer a problem for him. With the soul guide materials business taking off, the monthly net profit of tens of thousands of gold coins, plus his existing savings, can fully support the high offering expenses.

Fourth, accelerate business expansion to accumulate more wealth and resources.

Whether it's recruiting worshippers, hunting for spirit rings, cultivating spirit guide materials, or making future plans for Shrek Academy and contacting Electrolux, all of these require money and resources.

Qinghetang aims to further expand its business. Its pharmaceutical business will continue to penetrate deeper into lower-tier markets, while its Soul-Guiding Materials business will accelerate production expansion and product diversification. In the future, it can also enter more market segments.

The greater one's wealth, the stronger one's ability to cope with risks.

"Goal: Within three years, Qinghetang's monthly net profit will exceed 200,000 gold, making it a top material supplier in Tiandou City."

The four things are progressively connected and linked together.

From strength and intelligence to security and financial resources, we are making comprehensive preparations to ensure that we can seize this tremendous opportunity five years from now.

Lin Chen's thinking was very clear.

He is not in a hurry.

Electrolux's remnant soul slumbers deep within the stars; he cannot escape. The Gold of Life is in his hands; the initiative is in his hands.

He can afford to wait five years.

Only by taking steady steps and making thorough preparations can we seize opportunities when they arise, rather than letting them turn into our downfall.

Having figured out the whole plan, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his mind finally at peace.

He picked up the Life-Gold Carving Knife from the table, his fingertips gently tracing the blade. A warm, life-giving energy flowed into his body through his fingertips, nourishing his spiritual sea, soothing and peaceful.

There's no need to rush to refine it, nor to rush to activate it.

Keep it by your side, nurture your mental strength daily, and improve it subtly—that's good enough.

The moonlight outside the window deepened, and all was quiet.

The only sounds in the quiet room were even breathing and a faint, ethereal glow.

The boy sat cross-legged, his eyebrows and eyes gentle, his expression calm.

A long-term plan spanning five years was quietly finalized on this night.

The opportunity presented by the Necromancer Saint, a destiny originally belonging to another person, has already begun to shift silently.

Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

The gold of life rested on his lap, its faint golden light enveloping him.

The road ahead is still long.

He has plenty of patience, and he walks steadily, step by step.

When the time is right, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, he will personally unlock this opportunity that belongs to him.
