With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1244 1244: Refining the artifact
Once he obtained what he was looking for, Lin Fan didn’t waste any time heading back to the magic continent.
This time, it was easy for him to enter the Forest of Death since the Blood Restraining Stone had made sure that Lin Fan would be able to return to where the Blood Restraining Stone was at any time.
With this mark that the Blood Restraining Stone had given him, none of the animals or plants of the Forest of Death dared to approach him. It was as if they were all terrified of him with the way that they evaded him.
As such, Lin Fan quickly made his way through the Forest of Death until he reached the clearing at the center.
The Blood Restraining Stone naturally sensed Lin Fan since he had the mark that the Blood Restraining Stone gave him.
When the Blood Restraining Stone came over, it asked in a surprised voice, “You’re already back?”
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod before saying, “I’ve reported back and have learned a few things about the Blood Sect.”
“Is that so?” The Blood Restraining Stone asked in an unconcerned voice.
But even if it acted like it wasn’t bothered by what Lin Fan said, it was clear by the slight tremor in its voice that it was worried. It seemed that intelligence wasn’t the only thing that this Blood Restraining Stone gained, it even seemed to have gained emotions.
If that was the case, was there a difference between this Blood Restraining Stone and a normal person?
When it came to these high grade artifacts that had developed their own spirit, this was just how it was sometimes.
Though there was a part of Lin Fan that suspected something else.
The Blood Restraining Stone clearly was sent here by accident and it was clear that there was something else that was sent here with it. This was related to the final legacy of the Blood Sect that it had mentioned before.
As such, Lin Fan could already make some guesses as to how the Blood Restraining Stone even gained this spirituality that it had.
“I’ll be honest with you.” Lin Fan said in a deep voice all of a sudden.
The Blood Restraining Stone didn’t respond, but Lin Fan could see that there was something strange about the way that it acted. The way that it floated there just showed him how nervous it was.
When he saw this, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling a bit strange.
After all, this Blood Restraining Stone almost seemed like a child with the way that it acted.
Another one of the things that Lin Fan had learned from Yan Tian Ta and Hong Xi was that the Blood Sect had only been destroyed less than two centuries ago.
Combining this with what he had learned from the Laver Empire about this Forest of Death, he knew that this place had only been around for around a little over a hundred years.
That meant that it most likely took close to a hundred years for the Blood Restraining Stone to gain intelligence.
If it took a hundred years, it showed how fast the Blood Restraining Stone developed.
So it could even be said that this Blood Restraining Stone was still a child when it came to the artifacts.
That was why it felt like he was dealing with a child sometimes with how honest it was…
“I’m sure that you already know that this isn’t the world that you know, but it’s not a different world either. This isn’t a hidden space or anything, this is a different continent from the one that you were on before.”
“Different continent?” The Blood Restraining Stone said in a confused voice as if it just couldn’t follow what Lin Fan was saying.
Lin Fan just simply explained, “In our world, there are different continents that are separated from each other that have their own method of gaining power. On our continent, it’s cultivation. On this continent, it’s magic.”
“Magic?” The Blood Restraining Stone repeated in the same confused voice.
Lin Fan didn’t bother explaining since there was time for this afterwards.
Instead, he said, “I arrived on this magic continent because of a special encounter, but it’s not something that I can share with others. As such, I can’t really bring you back since that will expose that I have this special encounter and it will put me in danger. I hope that you will understand.”
This time, the Blood Restraining Stone didn’t repeat what Lin Fan said as it just floated there. It was clear by the way that it was floating that it didn’t seem happy with this, but it also seemed like it understood.
“Then what are you planning to do? If you’ve come back, it must mean that you must have some kind of plan.” The Blood Restraining Stone said after a long silence.
Lin Fan didn’t beat around the bush as he gave a simple nod before moving towards the Blood Restraining Stone.
The Blood Restraining Stone didn’t move, but Lin Fan could tell that it had become more guarded because of what he had said. He didn’t mind this as he walked right up in front of the Blood Restraining Stone and raised his hand.
As he did, he started using his spiritual energy.
It wasn’t enough spiritual energy to actually do anything, but he used it with a special method that would give the Blood Restraining Stone an idea of what he was planning to do.
The Blood Restraining Stone immediately understood when it sensed the sensation that came from Lin Fan’s hand.
“You want to refine me?”
Lin Fan gave a simple nod before saying, “It’s the only way to make sure that you won’t say anything that I don’t want you to say.”
This time, the Blood Restraining Stone moved away from Lin Fan’s hand as if it had become wary of him.
Lin Fan didn’t do anything to stop the Blood Restraining Stone.
Instead, he just simply said, “I know that this is a big decision for you and I don’t want to force anything on you. The only thing that I can say is that if you decide to come with me, I’ll treat you as family instead of an item.”
The Blood Restraining Stone stopped moving when it heard this, but it didn’t seem like it was convinced either with the way that it just floated there. It really seemed like it was considering what Lin Fan had said.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything as he waited for the Blood Restraining Stone to come to a decision.
This was the decision that Lin Fan had come to.
He believed that it would be best to face the Blood Restraining Stone with sincerity, even more so when he could tell that this Blood Restraining Stone was like a child.
After a while, the Blood Restraining Stone asked, “What about the legacy of the Blood Sect?”
“I am the disciple of the Fire Fist King and the Poison King, so there’s no problem with me bringing it back to the Heavenly Demon Sect. It’s just that I have to ensure that my secret is kept as well before bringing it back to the Heavenly Demon Sect.” Lin Fan said without any hesitation.
Since he had already chosen to use sincerity to win over the Blood Restraining Stone, there was no reason for him to lie about this.
“Fire Fist King and Poison King, those are two of the Eight Kings of the Heavenly Demon Sect, aren’t they?” The Blood Restraining Stone said in a shocked voice.
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod.
It wasn’t strange that the Blood Restraining Stone would know about these two since they had been a part of the Heavenly Demon Sect for a long time. Even before the Blood Sect had been destroyed, the two of them had been famous.
But this did make him a bit more certain of his guess from earlier.
It really seemed like this Blood Restraining Stone’s spirituality was the result of…
After another long moment of silence, the Blood Restraining Stone finally said, “Alright, I will allow you to refine me. I hope that you will keep your promise.”
Though it seemed like the Blood Restraining Stone was agreeing to his request, Lin Fan could tell that a part of this was because it really didn’t have a choice in this matter. It really seemed like the Blood Restraining Stone was giving up since it had no idea when another opportunity like this would come again.
Lin Fan didn’t mind this since he knew that the Blood Restraining Stone’s mind would change once he refined it. It wasn’t that he would forcefully change it, it was that he would show it the things that would change its mind.
So Lin Fan reached out once more and gathered his spiritual energy again.
This time, the Blood Restraining Stone didn’t move away from him as it allowed him to use this technique on it.
The two of them just remained in this same position for a bit before Lin Fan suddenly brought his hand down.
“I’m looking forward to working with you.” Lin Fan said to the Blood Restraining Stone.
“You too.” The Blood Restraining Stone replied back.
With this refinement finished, Lin Fan looked around and asked, “Is there anything that you want to take?”
The Blood Restraining Stone didn’t waste any time floating around and saying, “There are plenty of artifacts from the past Blood Sect, so I’m sure that it’ll be useful to you.”
Lin Fan gave a nod before heading over to see what the Blood Restraining Stone wanted to take.
