Chapter 3

Compared to the hostile world he had just been transported to, where he was severely injured and faced malice everywhere, the Hall of Reincarnation, on the contrary, had come to his aid from the start. Not only did it heal his injuries, but it even repaired his leather armor, truly showing warmth and kindness.

"Reincarnated artifacts can be converted into points to exchange for items." The Hall of Reincarnation's response was as concise as ever.

"If I don't exchange it, can I use it?"

Although he didn't know the value of this artifact, he was certain that converting it into points would result in a loss. Using points to exchange for needed items would further reduce its value. This principle held true in any universe.

"Analysis complete. The artifact is a spatial item, and the reincarnated can use it."

Li Mo was taken aback upon hearing this. A spatial item? This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

He then unwrapped the package and found a palm-sized, book-shaped metal object. A chain was attached to the spine, making it look more like a piece of jewelry. He tried to open the metal book, but there were no individual pages, and no text. The 'metal book' was just a shape.

"Hey! Hall of Reincarnation, are you there? How do I use this thing? I can't open it!" His mood quickly soured after a brief moment of excitement.

As a soul from Earth, how could he possibly understand such a high-tech magical artifact? And the original owner, Victor, was just a low-level thug. Combined, their ages were almost forty, but their knowledge was less than that of a potion apprentice at a pharmacy.

"Medium spatial equipment. It can be bound for 500 points, or the seal can be broken manually."

"Alright, I don't have anything valuable. Can you bind the equipment for me first, and then I'll use the items inside to pay off the debt? If it's not enough, I'll owe you and pay it back later?"

After several attempts, Li Mo's boldness grew, and he began to show his cunning side. He felt influenced by 'Victor,' as he used to be a good person, while Victor was a skilled con artist.

Faced with this question, the Hall of Reincarnation fell into an eerie silence. After a few minutes, just as Li Mo was hesitating and preparing to convert the 'metal book' into points, the strange voice sounded in his mind again.

"The reincarnated's request is accepted. Points can be borrowed. The list of items in the spatial equipment is as follows: …"

In the next moment, a series of information flowed into Li Mo's mind, which he could understand without reading. The items inside the small thing were: …

As Li Mo focused on checking his gains, the Hall of Reincarnation's voice suddenly became urgent: "Warning! Unknown soul residue detected, level dangerous. Special soul artifact detected, 'Soul Flask - Possession Technique (Revised).'"

Li Mo, still immersed in browsing the item list, was startled by the warning. After carefully reading the description of the 'Soul Flask,' he broke out in a cold sweat.

Was it really a stroke of genius to call himself 'weak'? The previous owner of this artifact was truly ruthless. If a native who hadn't entered the Hall of Reincarnation broke the seal of the equipment and obtained the artifact inside, they would be unknowingly parasitized and possessed by the 'residual soul.'

Such a fate would be just like... just like his own. A residual soul possessed and reborn, the young man named 'Victor' died in despair, which was rather awkward.

However, after soul-traveling, immediately facing a possession plot, Victor, you really have bad luck. Without me, you might have already died, or avoided one disaster only to be possessed later. Either way, you couldn't escape death.

Li Mo sighed and chose the points loan option in his mind, bringing up the detailed record of the 'Soul Flask.' It was a jade pupil, emerald green and dripping with a charm that captivated the heart, making one want to play with it. But if anyone really touched it, they would only regret it.

Soul Flask: Necromancy spell, ...

After reading the detailed description, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh. Anyone who saw this priceless treasure would surely want to keep it for themselves. If it contained a residual soul, nine out of ten people would fall for it without any defense. Indeed, it was a cunning and brilliant move!

"Is there any way to handle it?" Li Mo asked.

"Sell it for points, or destroy it. The reincarnated's level is too low; it is not recommended to continue holding it."

"Uh..."

Li Mo was embarrassed. Why did he ask such a stupid question?

He then put aside the dangerous item and browsed the detailed list of items in the spatial equipment, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

The items in the spatial equipment, ranked from highest to lowest value:

Jade Pupil (Soul Flask - Possession), Abyssal Flame Demon's Skull (Cauldron), Hell Ice Demon's Heart, Flame Demon's Blood, Sixth Layer of Hell's Cold Ice Crystal, "Three Essentials of External Alchemy" (fragment), "Three Tribulations Sutra," "Baleflame Demon Bone Refinement Technique," Advanced Staff, Magic Crystals (several), Grenades (four), Spell Materials (several), Daily Items (several)...

Although he only saw the names, encountering familiar 'immortal cultivation' techniques in this 'fantasy' world was a bit hard for Li Mo to accept. And the "Baleflame Demon Bone Refinement Technique," a fusion of Eastern and Western elements, was even more perplexing. The secrets hidden behind it were truly intriguing.

And those four grenades, they really ruined the atmosphere. Was this really a world of swords and magic? Li Mo couldn't imagine a desperate mage, cornered by a group of goblins with clubs, suddenly shouting and throwing grenades to counter-kill them.

After reading the long list, Li Mo became even more convinced of the Hall of Reincarnation's true identity: a 'main god space' in a magical plane! Otherwise, how could so many items from different worlds appear in a single 'spatial equipment'?

Originally, Li Mo planned to exchange the 'Soul Flask' used to harm others. However, after seeing these strange and twisted techniques, his thoughts changed, and his imagination ran wild.

"Hall of Reincarnation! If I pay points, can you help me eliminate the residual soul consciousness in this 'jade pupil' and preserve only the purest knowledge and experience, then apply the 'Soul Flask' to me?!"

Li Mo, who had already soul-traveled once, suddenly became resolute. As long as it was absolutely safe, he didn't mind being possessed again.

The items in the 'metal book,' when added together, were worth a total of 18,000 points, even after a discount. If he wanted to exchange them from the Hall of Reincarnation, the price would be even higher.

After tallying the inheritance of the previous reincarnated, Li Mo marveled at his good fortune. The items and techniques inside complemented each other, and their value far exceeded the points they could be exchanged for.

Although Li Mo didn't know how to evaluate the quality of the items, the original owner must have been very powerful. Using a flame demon's skull as a cauldron and creating a 'jade pupil - Soul Flask' for rebirth, even with Victor's limited knowledge, he knew this was something only a saint-level or higher could achieve. After all, the initial level of a Baleflame Demon was already legendary, a mythical monster.

However, simply leaving a complete set of techniques was like a book of advanced knowledge to him. Without the necessary knowledge, he couldn't understand the profound meanings.

It was like an ordinary person getting a secret manual of a divine technique and only being able to stare at the professional terms. Without a teacher's guidance, trying to master a divine technique from a book was as ridiculous as trying to build a missile from a physics textbook, like Mei Chao Feng, who practiced the "Nine Yin Manual" and ended up crippled.
