The Soul Bone Secured, Packing Up and Taking Ah Yin Away

At Dugu Bo's words, the Blue Silver Emperor trembled wildly for a moment before wilting completely, her leaves drooping limply as though she were dejected.

Lin Chen, meanwhile, paid no attention to what Dugu Bo was saying.

Ah Yin was indeed pitiful, but until she decided to draw a line between herself and Tang Hao and Tang San, she was still Lin Chen's enemy.

Lin Chen had no intention of killing a Blue Silver Emperor seedling, but he would not do much to help her either. If Ah Yin ultimately chose Tang Hao, things would be much simpler: he could just kill her and take her ring.

"Where on earth is that Soul Bone hidden? I've searched all around and still haven't found it." Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. As he brushed his fingers over a rock face above his head, he suddenly felt that something was off.

He pressed his fingers against the stone again and found that it gave slightly, a clear sign that it was loose.

"Found it?"

Surprised and uncertain, Lin Chen put a little force into his fist and smashed the stone above his head, then dug deeper into the rock face.

Soon, Lin Chen felt his fingers catch on something. He pulled a rectangular black lead box from the gap in the rocks.

Seeing that Lin Chen had found the Soul Bone, Dugu Bo walked over with a smile and said curiously, "Hurry up and open it. Let's see which body part the Soul Bone is from."

Lin Chen pulled off the lid and saw a blue-gold right leg bone lying inside.

"As expected of the Soul Bone of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor. Even from here, I can feel the immense vitality it contains."

Dugu Bo stared at the Soul Bone before him, his face full of amazement.

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, though he wasn't particularly surprised.

The Blue Silver Emperor was, after all, the king among Blue Silver Grass and possessed exceptionally tenacious vitality. One of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul's attributes was life, and it contained surging life factors.

This Soul Bone could also turn decay into wonder, possessing the ability Spring Comes to the Withered Tree.

Lin Chen knew full well how powerful the Blue Silver Emperor was, which was why he wasn't killing her now. Instead, he planned to wait until he had fattened her up before deciding what to do.

Killing her now would be too much of a waste.

"Little fellow, what are you going to do with this Blue Silver Emperor right leg Soul Bone? Are you going to absorb it, or what?" Dugu Bo closed the lid and asked curiously.

"Ah... I could absorb it, but I don't really want to." Lin Chen hesitated for a moment. In truth, he was a little disdainful of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

After all, a Soul Bone's quality wasn't judged solely by its age. The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone did possess powerful vitality, but what did a Power Attack System Soul Master like Lin Chen need such powerful vitality for?

The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's two additional Soul Skills were Wildfire Cannot Burn It Away, the Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life, and Flight.

The first Soul Skill granted its user an extraordinary ability to heal, even allowing severed limbs to regrow.

The second Soul Skill, Flight, allowed a Soul Master to fly straight into the sky, granting them great mobility.

To ordinary Soul Masters, those two Soul Skills were indeed extremely tempting, but to Lin Chen, they were somewhat like chicken ribs.

Leaving the first Soul Skill aside, the passive Soul Skill called Flight was completely useless to Lin Chen.

After all, Lin Chen had the Ultimate Armor. Although Zero didn't actually rely on it to fly, that didn't mean it couldn't fly.

According to the design specs, after Zero equipped the Ultimate Armor, his flight speed could soar from Mach seven to Mach thirty-five. There was no way it couldn't fly.

Moreover, despite being a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's effects were to purify Soul Power, flush the Seven Meridians and Eight Channels, and expand the meridians' capacity.

In other words, the Soul Bone itself had no ability to increase Soul Power. After Lin Chen absorbed it, his Soul Power Level might rise somewhat, but definitely by no more than two levels.

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the bigger his headache grew. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it, tossed the lead box into his storage ring, and said to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, let's take the Soul Bone and the Blue Silver Emperor and leave first. Even if I do absorb the Soul Bone, I can't do it here."

With that, Lin Chen crouched beside Ah Yin and said calmly, "Go into the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch for now. The soil and environment in there are much better than this shabby cave."

Lin Chen looked at the Blue Silver Emperor seedling and, without caring whether she was willing or not, reached out and pulled her up.

The roots, streaked with gold, were very long and thick, looking much like tree roots.

Lin Chen gave the Blue Silver Emperor a quick once-over, then placed her inside the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.

Seeing that they had everything, Lin Chen called to Dugu Bo behind him, "We've got everything. Let's get out of here."

"Mm." Dugu Bo nodded, then led Lin Chen out of the cave, quickly leaving the mountain behind Holy Soul Village.

As they sped along, Dugu Bo hurriedly asked, "Little fellow, what do you think Tang Hao will do if he finds out we robbed his home?"

Lin Chen shook his head, looking unconcerned. "If he finds out, all we can do is wait to die. But Tang Hao has no way to sense the Blue Silver Emperor, so there's little chance he'll find out."

Dugu Bo's expression stiffened a little at that, but the things were already in their hands, and there was no point worrying about it now. All he could do was hope Tang Hao didn't find out.

Nuoding City, Lin Family residence

Racing all the way, Lin Chen and Dugu Bo took only two hours to get back to Nuoding City from Holy Soul Village.

"Lin Chen, where did you run off to today? I looked all over for you but couldn't find you." As soon as he got home, Xiao Wu stopped him at the door, concerned.

"I went to cultivate today. The place was pretty boring, so I didn't bring you along." Lin Chen opened his mouth and began spouting nonsense.

"Oh..." Xiao Wu nodded without suspecting anything, then complained with a smile, "Remember to take me along next time. Even if you don't, you could at least tell me, so I don't spend ages looking for you."

"I'll definitely take you next time." Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, then casually asked, "Xiao Chenyu isn't making you do anything anymore, is he?"

"No." Xiao Wu shook her head, though she looked a little puzzled. "If anything, he's been a lot more respectful to me. The last time I ran into him, he actually took the initiative to call me Sister Xiao Wu. I really don't know what he's thinking."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes, inwardly remarking that Xiao Chenyu changed his attitude faster than flipping a page, then asked Xiao Wu, "What about Tang San? What's he doing now?"

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and scratched her cheek. "Dunno. I don't think I've seen much of him since he was knocked out last time. Why do you ask?"

"No reason, just curious." Lin Chen smiled gently and changed the subject. "Let's not talk about that. I'm in a good mood today, so let's go have a feast."

"Yay!" Xiao Wu jumped up without a care and immediately forgot what they had just been talking about. As for Tang San? He was none of her concern, and she didn't want to bother with him.
