Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 228: Faston Town

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is currently settled in Tiandou City, and Lin Chen is going to Tiandou City again. If he can go with them, it will save a lot of trouble.

One of Lin Chen’s plans was to go to the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect to obtain Sword Douluo’s inheritance and further enhance his own strength.

Sword Douluo was a legendary figure ten thousand years ago, and even now, no one knows how many people covet his inheritance.

He himself might really have no inheritance, but it is absolutely impossible that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect at that time had no records at all.

Anyway, Lin Chen didn't believe it.

However, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect doesn't seem to be in any trouble right now, so there's no need to put any extra effort into it. Just be careful.

Moreover, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect seemed to be heading towards Shrek City, which was the opposite of Lin Chen's route.

Lin Chen remembered that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect seemed to have disappeared during the Dragon King Legend era. Even if it did, its appearance in the soul master world was not as many times as in the first and second eras, so the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect should have encountered major changes during these ten thousand years.

After standing in front of the window for a while, Lin Chen got up and returned to the dining table to eat dinner.

After reaching a bottleneck in his cultivation, Lin Chen no longer deliberately got up early every day to practice, but let nature take its course.

At this stage, cultivation is not the first necessity. The key to breakthrough in cultivation is to comprehend the mind and understand the true self, and to follow the trend and practice the great way. What's more, Lin Chen is a sword cultivator.

So the next day Lin Chen slept until he woke up naturally, and then set out for Tiandou City.

He didn't call a carriage or anything, he just walked alone. If he met some beggars along the way, he would throw a few copper soul coins to them.

This also made Lin Chen sigh that his experience seemed to be somewhat similar to that of a certain immortal cultivator!

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Chen stretched, washed up, checked out of the guest room, packed his things and rushed to Tiandou City.

Except for some valuable items, Lin Chen carried all his things in his hands and did not put them in storage bags or storage rings.

Lin Chen kept on traveling like this, and when he was tired he would stop to rest, drink some water, etc., just like an ordinary person.

As the sun set, Lin Chen found a relatively flat place, set up his tent, made a fire, ate, and then went to rest.

After walking for several days, Lin Chen arrived at a town called Faston.

Most of the people in the town are ordinary people, and some are delivering goods from nearby villages. Soul masters account for a very small number, no more than 10%. There is also a place for soul awakening set up by the Tianhun Empire, but it seems that two gold soul coins are required.

It was early morning, and the morning market was bustling with shouts.

"Boss, give me a bowl of porridge and a basket of meat buns!" Lin Chen walked to a breakfast shop on the street and shouted to the boss.

"Okay, please wait a moment!" He said and hurried to the kitchen.

Lin Chen was not in a hurry either, and listened leisurely to the chirping of birds.

In less than ten minutes, a large bowl of porridge and a basket of meat buns were served on the table.

"Sir, here are your porridge and buns. Enjoy them."

"Thank you very much. How much are these?" The boss held up four fingers and said, "Four bronze soul coins will do."

Lin Chen nodded, took out four bronze soul coins from the bag on his back and handed them over.

"Okay, thank you, sir." The boss put the four copper soul coins into his pocket and ran back to the kitchen with a smile.

Lin Chen smiled and ignored him, continuing to eat his breakfast. They were just doing business, and each had their own needs.

After a hearty meal, Lin Chen headed towards the town, but as he approached a small path, he saw many people gathered on a bulletin board.

Lin Chen's curiosity was also aroused, so he squeezed into the crowd.

"Give me, please give me."

"Give me a moment, thank you."

"Please give way..."

It took some effort for Lin Chen to squeeze to the front of the crowd and see the clearly visible notice.

"Due to the tense border war, the constant harassment from the Sun-Moon Empire, and the insufficient national strength of the Sky Soul Empire, the price of martial soul awakening is now adjusted to three gold soul coins. This is hereby announced, please be informed." Lin Chen read the contents of the announcement in a low voice.

"Huh? Why do they raise the cost of Soul Awakening when the border war is tense? Shouldn't they focus more on training more Soul Master talents?" Lin Chen said with some confusion.

"Yes, the king of the Tianhun Empire is probably really senile. Look how right this young man is." An old man echoed.

"That's right! Only with more soul masters can we better fight those bastards of the Sun-Moon Empire. What's the big deal about raising the cost of awakening martial souls?" another old man also said angrily.

Most of these old people have younger generations in their families, and they naturally hope that their younger generations can become soul masters. The status of soul masters in this society is not comparable to that of ordinary people like them. Now that the Heavenly Soul Empire has increased the cost of martial soul awakening, it has undoubtedly increased the burden on their families. Many people may even miss the opportunity and find it difficult to become soul masters in their lifetime. How can they not be angry?
"Hey, please don't say that. If those officials hear it, you will be beheaded!" An old woman hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her husband, and whispered.

The old man also remained silent.

"Is this the method used by the Tianhun Empire? Using suppression to prevent the common people from raising any objections?" Lin Chen sneered in his heart.

It’s no wonder that the Tianhun Empire was destroyed. The royal family was rotten to the core, how could it not be destroyed?
Now that the war is tense and there are external and internal troubles, the Tianhun Empire is still thinking about plundering the people. It would be strange if the country is not destroyed.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. When these civilians are suppressed to a certain extent, they will completely explode. At that time, coupled with the fierce attack of the Sun and Moon Empire, the Tianhun Empire will never be able to escape the fate of national destruction.

"Young man, you should talk less. I know you young people are hot-blooded and like to stand up for the weak, but no matter what, your head is the most important!" At this time, the old lady behind Lin Chen also pulled Lin Chen's arm and whispered to him.

Lin Chen sneered in his heart again. There was no one in the Tianhun Empire who could take his life. It could even be said that he could destroy the country as long as he wanted.

But he still said on the surface: "Thank you, Auntie, I will remember what you said."

After all, people are trying to dissuade you with good intentions, you can't just ignore it, right? Nine years of compulsory education doesn't allow Lin Chen to do this.

The old lady smiled when she saw this and said nothing more.

After reading the notice and ignoring the chattering uncles and aunts here, Lin Chen walked straight towards the street ahead.
