External Soul Bone, Beast Attracting Grass (Please Follow and Bookmark)

Three hours later, the absorption of the spirit ring was complete.

Ning Tianchen had just risen to his feet when a pair of sword wings inexplicably sprouted from his back, resembling the wings of a Sword Winged Dragon.

"External Soul Bone!" Chen Xin's mouth twitched slightly.

Ning Tianchen's luck was truly exceptional. During his first spirit hunt, his martial soul had evolved. On his third hunt, he had actually obtained something as rare as an External Soul Bone.

One had to know that External Soul Bones could grow and did not occupy any of the soul bone slots on one's body. Their value was only slightly inferior to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Once an External Soul Bone completely fused with a soul master, even if that soul master was killed, no one else could take it away.

"My luck is really this good?" Ning Tianchen could not help but feel dazed.

A moment later, information about the External Soul Bone entered his mind.

This soul bone was called Sword Wings. Once activated, it granted the ability to fly. Moreover, because the edges of the Sword Wings were exceptionally sharp, they could also be used as weapons.

"A fine External Soul Bone."

After a brief pause, Chen Xin reminded him, "Tianchen, before the External Soul Bone completely fuses with you, as much as possible..."

Ning Tianchen scratched his head. "Sword Grandfather, this External Soul Bone has already completely fused with my body."

"What!"

Only after inspecting him did Chen Xin finally believe his words.

External Soul Bones appeared very rarely, and Chen Xin did not know whether this was normal.

"Set the soul bone matter aside for now. How is your Third Spirit Ability?"

Normally, the spirit abilities granted by soul bones needed to be kept secret. But neither Chen Xin nor Ke Jie was an outsider, and both had helped him hunt this spirit ring.

Ning Tianchen answered frankly, "My Third Spirit Ability is called Sword Wings Soaring. It is similar to Sword Offering's Third Spirit Ability. When used together with the External Soul Bone, the feather blades on the sword wings can launch long-range attacks in the form of flying blades."

"That's way too overpowered." Ke Jie looked utterly envious.

If it had been him who received such an opportunity, he probably would have already broken through to Titled Douluo.

"The student surpasses the master. You have done very well." Chen Xin was sincerely happy for him.

Ning Tianchen briefly tested his spirit ability and was about to leave when Chen Xin suddenly stopped him.

"Wait."

"Sword Offering, what happened?" As Ke Jie asked, he and Ning Tianchen both warily scanned their surroundings.

"This old man can sense a special fluctuation of soul power nearby. It does not come from a soul beast. It is more likely a natural treasure," Chen Xin said gravely.

Ning Tianchen suddenly recalled, "Not long ago, I fought a six-hundred-year Earth Dragon."

"A soul beast like an Earth Dragon could never cultivate to six hundred years. The natural treasure sensed by Sword Offering is very likely the key to why that Earth Dragon possessed such cultivation."

A treasure that could increase a soul beast's cultivation had a high chance of increasing a soul master's cultivation as well.

This was no ordinary item. Since they had encountered it, there was no reason to let it slip away.

Following his senses, Chen Xin found the entrance to a cave.

After entering, they discovered that it was an enormous underground cavern.

After searching for a while, Chen Xin led them to a medicinal herb.

Ning Tianchen did not know much about Immortal Herbs, but judging from the soul power fluctuations emitted by this herb, it was undoubtedly an Immortal Herb.

After examining it carefully for a while, Chen Xin said regretfully, "What a pity. This is Beast Attracting Grass. It is only useful to soul beasts. Human soul masters cannot withstand the violent power within it."

"Beast Attracting Grass?" Ning Tianchen was puzzled.

After receiving an explanation, he finally understood its effects.

It was a peculiar Immortal Herb that did not need to be consumed. So long as one cultivated beside it, a soul beast's cultivation would rapidly increase.

The location of this Beast Attracting Grass was unique. Although this underground cavern was vast, its passageways were extremely narrow, making it difficult for larger soul beasts to enter. That was why it had remained preserved.

After searching around, Ke Jie found traces of an Earth Dragon's activity nearby. "These clumps of earth dung were excreted by an Earth Dragon. The creature that originally lived here may have been the one you and the young miss encountered."

Chen Xin formed a Sword Finger with his right hand and gave a gentle sweep. He severed the Beast Attracting Grass along with its roots.

"In the Thunderclap Canyon of the past, there were no soul beasts over ten thousand years old. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has existed for barely a thousand years, yet the number of ten-thousand-year soul beasts here has exploded. I imagine it is inseparably connected to this Beast Attracting Grass."

Soul beasts over fifty thousand years old were nearly impossible for humans to raise in captivity. Once these soul beasts learned they were going to be confined, they would all choose to self-destruct and die.

Therefore, the high-age soul beasts in Thunderclap Canyon could only have broken through after being captured and brought here.

"Sword Offering, do you mean that the Beast Attracting Grass was planted here by someone?" Ke Jie asked.

"Possibly." As he spoke, Chen Xin stored the Beast Attracting Grass in his Soul Tool.

It was a natural treasure, after all. Once brought back to the sect, it could enrich their treasury. In the future, it might even be exchanged for something better.

"There should be more than one such place, but our spirit hunt is already over. If we stay here too long, trouble may arise. Let us go. There is nothing worth lingering over here."

With that, Chen Xin headed toward the cave exit.

"Sword Offering, there may be other natural treasures in this cave. Shouldn't we search a little more?" Ning Tianchen hurriedly said.

Chen Xin shook his head. "This old man has already sensed it. There are no other treasures in the cave."

Ning Tianchen smiled helplessly.

This place was not a treasure trove like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As natural treasures grew, they absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nearby. In a place that was not a treasure trove, no matter how many Immortal Herb seeds were planted, only one Immortal Herb would ultimately be able to grow.

The other Immortal Herbs would sooner or later wither during their growth due to insufficient nourishment.

Inside the Council Hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After hearing Ning Tianchen's report, Ning Fengzhi revealed a faint smile. "Well done. With an External Soul Bone, your future accomplishments will be limitless."

Then, his expression shifted and he could not help frowning. "Sword Uncle, is the information Bone Uncle brought back true?"

Hearing that they were about to discuss serious matters, Ning Tianchen was just about to withdraw when Ning Fengzhi called out to him. "Tianchen, stay and listen as well. This matter is somewhat related to you."

Ning Tianchen was puzzled, but could only stand to the side and listen carefully.

Chen Xin laid out all of his conjectures.

Ning Tianchen was stunned upon hearing them.

In his mind, although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not be considered an upright and honorable sect, they should not stoop to something so despicable. Yu Yuanzhen in particular acted openly and honorably; he did not seem like someone who would make such a decision.

Ning Fengzhi shared his thoughts and had not believed it at first either.

Chen Xin explained, "Tianchen and Rong Rong will undoubtedly be geniuses who lead an era in the future. How can the Blue Lightning Twin Stars, those two crooked melons and cracked dates, compete with their brilliance?"

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin both possessed Innate Soul Power at level eight, and were only three or four years older than Ning Tianchen.

In the early stages of cultivation, their Soul Power Levels might be higher than Ning Tianchen's. But after another twenty years, the advantage of Innate Full Soul Power would become apparent.
