Chapter 37 Meeting Lin Dong for the first time
After Lin Dong saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes.

She was a beautiful girl who was extremely delicate. She was wearing a white dress, with long hair like a waterfall, skin as white as cream, a small nose, willow eyebrows and white teeth.

The most attractive thing is undoubtedly the pair of bright and clear eyes. The girl's fair and delicate face is like a beautiful painting, and the eyes are the finishing touch of the painting.

For the first time, Lin Dong truly experienced the meaning of the four words "bright eyes and kind gaze".

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He had never seen such a beautiful girl.

Although Qingtan was also a rare beauty, she spent every day with Lin Dong and could not amaze him.

Besides, that’s Lin Dong’s sister!

Seeing that the other party was in a daze, Mu Zi pulled hard on the ancient wood in his hand, but it didn't move.

"Why are you stealing my things?"

The girl's gentle scolding brought Lin Dong back to his senses, and his gaze fell on the ancient tree in his hand again.

“You haven’t paid for it yet, how can it be yours?” Lin Dong was unwilling to give in.

He observed the surface of the ancient wood, feeling the vicissitudes and mystery it exuded, and felt more and more that this object was destined to be with him.

"Haha, this ancient wood is priced at fifty Yang Yuan stones."

The stall owner was delighted when he saw the two people fighting over the ancient wood. It was a good thing that they were fighting over it. If they didn't fight over it, how could he raise the price?
"I'll give you sixty!"

Mu Zi decisively raised the price, hoping that the other party would give up.

"seventy."

Lin Dong narrowed his eyes. Who can bid the highest? As the owner of the Yang Yuan Stone mine, he is not afraid of anyone in Qingyang Town.

"eighty!"

"ninety!"

Lin Dong refused to give in. He was determined to get this ancient tree today!
At this moment, the stall owner could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

Mu Zi looked at the other person's face, frowned, and was very unhappy.

After thinking for a moment, she winked at Lin Dong.

"Take a step to speak."

Lin Dong didn't want to continue to make fun of the stall owner, so the two of them put down the ancient wood and walked to an empty corner.

Mu Zi was the first to break the silence: "Looking at your determined look just now, you should know what that thing is, right?"

Lin Dong spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I don't really know. I just think it looks good. Do you know something? I'd like to hear more details."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to tell the truth, Mu Zi lost his patience and decided to just come clean.

"You have cultivated your spiritual power, right?"

In Qingyang Town, a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old cultivated his spiritual power. Mu Zi had already recognized the person in front of him, it was Lin Dong.

"It seems that the thing in this ancient tree is the ancient vortex seal in the original book." Mu Zi said secretly.

The Ancient Vortex Talisman is a method of condensing the natal talisman. More importantly, this talisman has some relationship with the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

In the original novel, Lin Dong relied on this kind of relationship to finally succeed in obtaining the real Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

Hearing the girl reveal his true identity, Lin Dong was somewhat suspicious. How did she know? Could it be that...
With a thought, a strand of mental power quickly surged out and probed towards Mu Zi's body.

However, before Lin Dong’s mental power could reach the other party, he encountered an invisible force that blocked his attempt.

Mental strength!
Lin Dong was startled, but before he could react, he saw the girl opposite him glaring at him.

"You bastard! How dare you use your mental power to spy on a girl without permission!"

Lin Dong reacted immediately, feeling embarrassed. He had not considered so much in a hurry just now, which was a bit inappropriate.

Suddenly, Lin Dong felt a wave of mental power coming towards him, but fortunately he felt that the fluctuation was not too strong and posed no threat.

So, he quickly mobilized his own mental power and condensed it into a mental barrier in front of him.

Feeling that the other party's mental power was blocked outside, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of apology: "Miss, I didn't mean it."

However, before he finished speaking, Lin Dong's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He felt that the blocked mental power suddenly vibrated in a strange way, and then incredibly broke through his mental barrier, and finally reached his body in an unstoppable manner.

"Tsk, tsk."

Mu Zi felt a little emotional.

Taking advantage of the opportunity just now, she took a careful look at Lin Dong's arm, but found nothing unusual.

It seems that the ancestral stone is not something she can spy on with her strength.

Lin Dong suffered a loss, and his face looked a little unhappy. He was not sure whether the other party had noticed anything. However, after all, he was rude first, so he could only swallow this loss.

Lin Dong clasped his fist towards Mu Zi and said, "Miss, I did offend you just now, but I think we are even this time."

Mu Zi raised her eyebrows and said, "I wanted to share the cost of buying the ancient tree's Yang Yuan Stone with you, but now you have paid for it all!"

Lin Dong thought thoughtfully: "What do you mean? Sharing the secret of the ancient tree?"

Mu Zi nodded: "You have also cultivated your spiritual power, so you should know that the thing on the ancient wood is related to the Talisman Master."

Seeing Lin Dong nodded, she continued: "In that case, there is absolutely no need for us to fight for it."

"Normally, it's not a consumable item like a spiritual medicine. We can buy the ancient tree and see its secrets together."

Lin Dong thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Although he would rather keep the secrets of the ancient tree to himself, the girl in front of him was too mysterious. The other party's mental strength was obviously not as strong as his, but she was able to break through his defense, which made Lin Dong a little afraid.

His cultivation level had probably been seen through by the other party, but he had no idea of ​​her strength.

The fact that the girl was willing to share secrets with him was already a very good result.

The two returned to the stall, and the stall owner looked at them and smiled, "Have you discussed it?"

Lin Dong nodded and handed him a jade bottle.

The stall owner opened it and sneered.

"Five Yang Yuan Pills? Not enough!"

Lin Dong frowned and said, “Didn’t you just say that the price was fifty Yang Yuan Stones?”

The stall owner said slowly, "Didn't you raise the price later? Even if you two have agreed, you can't lower the price."

Lin Dong suddenly had a bad feeling: "How much do you want?"

The stall owner held up a finger and said, "Ten Yang Yuan Pills."

Looking at the cunning smile on the other person's face, Lin Dong's eyelids twitched, but when he noticed that Mu Zi beside him was a little impatient, he still paid the money.

"Come again next time!" The stall owner smiled and waved his hand.

Mu Zi and Lin Dong walked out of the underground fair, came to an empty corner, and took out the ancient wood.

"How do we do it?" Lin Dong asked curiously.

Mu Zi watched him fiddle with it for a long time but nothing happened, and was speechless: "Use your mental power!"

Lin Dong suddenly realized it. He pondered for a moment, his mind moved slightly, and then he slowly closed his eyes. A trace of mental power emerged from the Niwan Palace and finally came into contact with the ancient tree.

At the moment of contact, the ancient tree, which had been motionless, began to tremble slightly, but there was still no major change.

"The things in this ancient tree are blocked by a barrier formed by spiritual power."

Upon this contact, Lin Dong clearly felt that the surface of the ancient tree was actually covered with a layer of extremely faint spiritual power. This spiritual power was already quite faint, and it seemed that it must have existed for quite some time.

After realizing the strength of the mental barrier, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief. With a thought, the mental power in the Niwan Palace suddenly roared out. With his utmost concentration, he forcefully drilled into the ancient tree.

However, just as he was about to break through the barrier in one fell swoop, the ancient wood in his hand was snatched away by Mu Zi.

Seeing Lin Dong looking at her with confusion, Mu Zi's mouth twitched.

"You are such a reckless person, you only know how to use brute force!"

"This rough method will most likely destroy the ancient wood. Then it will become disposable and I won't be able to look at it."

Lin Dong frowned. He didn't expect there were so many explanations. He always used great strength to make miracles happen.

Mu Zi stared at the ancient wood in his hand, and strands of mental power stretched out and attached to its surface.

After feeling it carefully for a while, she finally found the weak point of the barrier. She condensed her mental power into a thin needle and gently poked it through.

In an instant, rays of light burst out from the surface of the ancient tree, and the moss on it fell off, revealing the runes on the surface. As the runes glowed slightly, a mysterious wave instantly spread out.

"Learn more!"

Mu Zi looked at Lin Dong with pride. However, the next moment, something unexpected happened.

A beam of light suddenly shot out from the ancient tree and projected onto Mu Zi's forehead. As the beam of light disappeared, the ancient tree seemed to lose its power and turned into powder in the girl's hands.

After closing her eyes to digest the information in the beam, Mu Zi opened her eyes and met Lin Dong's gaze.

Seeing him looking at her eagerly, Mu Zi suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Uh, this was actually an accident."
