The masked figure did not refuse Chen Lin's demand for an oath. Taking the feather, the figure swore readily.
Chen Lin was surprised.
But he gave it no further thought and followed suit, swearing his oath. Both feathers turned to ash at the same time.
The contract was sealed.
Chen Lin immediately felt a mysterious energy envelop him from beyond his senses. The Oath Feather's effects seemed extraordinary, a level above ordinary contract items. Even he could not break its restrictions.
Not that he had intended to break the agreement.
In his oath just now, he had not promised to include every item Xiaohua had mentioned. He had only said he knew of two items and guaranteed that the information about them was genuine.
"Since we're bound by our oaths, there's no need to waste time."
The masked figure took out another Blue Conch.
After pouring the dharmic formula into it, the figure casually tossed it to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin inspected it.
He also took out an item for recording information, entered the two items he had promised to reveal, then wrapped it in soul power and sent it over to the masked figure.
The masked figure immediately examined it.
Then those eyes lit up.
"Are these the only two you know of, fellow Daoist? Do you know of any others?" the figure asked at once.
Chen Lin shook his head.
"My understanding of the Soul-Unlocking Technique is only superficial. My master left me all this information. I was hoping you could clear up a few things for me!"
"I see."
The masked figure glanced at Chen Lin.
Then gave a dry chuckle.
"The Soul-Unlocking Technique isn't something you can use whenever you please. As the saying goes, nine out of ten who unlock their souls end up dead.
