It's Actually a Soul Bone

Innate Soul Power Level 1—that was truly far too low.

No matter how quickly Gu Ziyi cultivated, such poor aptitude meant that he would basically never become a powerful Soul Master in the future.

Hearing her Elder Brother Tang Xiao's words, Tang Yuehua's expression shifted slightly once more.

Tang Xiao's next words made Tang Yuehua feel even more uneasy. "After saying all that, you still haven't told us what his Martial Soul is, little sister. What is the quality of his Soul Ring?"

"Elder Brother, his Martial Soul is talismans—a mutated Paper Martial Soul, an auxiliary-type Martial Soul!"

"His First Soul Ring is also only a Ten-Year Quality White Soul Ring!"

But when she thought of Gu Ziyi's help, Tang Yuehua steadied herself and quickly answered Tang Xiao's question.

Given how much Gu Ziyi had helped her, she believed that as long as she asked, her elder brother, second brother, and father would not refuse him.

If it was difficult to have the sect accept Gu Ziyi now, then they could wait until later.

She believed Gu Ziyi would definitely succeed.

For now, it was enough to let Gu Ziyi join the Haotian Sect first.

"An auxiliary-type Martial Soul and a white Soul Ring?"

After receiving the answer, Tang Xiao was once again deeply disappointed.

With talent like that, even if he had no objections, their father would absolutely never approve.

"Come on, then. Take us to meet this classmate of yours!"

"He helped you solve your inability to cultivate. That is a major matter for our Haotian Sect. Father sent us to bring you home this time, and he also asked us to thank him on behalf of the entire Haotian Sect!"

Tang Xiao then smiled. He did not directly ask whether his little sister liked the other party; he planned to assess it himself after meeting Gu Ziyi.

"Mm-hm..."

Tang Yuehua immediately nodded at that.

From Tang Xiao's words, she could sense how much importance the sect placed on Gu Ziyi. That made things even more reassuring.

Bai Lu, standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief for Tang Yuehua.

It looked like things were indeed settled.

Though what happened later would be hard to say!

When Gu Ziyi saw Tang Yuehua arrive with Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, he nearly went blank on the spot.

Why had Tang Xiao and Tang Hao come? "Classmate Gu Ziyi!"

"This is my elder brother and my second brother. They came to see me!"

Walking at the front, Tang Yuehua hurriedly introduced her elder and second brothers. At the same time, she secretly gave Gu Ziyi a meaningful look, telling him to be careful.

"So you are Tang Yuehua's elder brother and second brother!"

"Hello, I'm Tang Yuehua's classmate, Gu Ziyi!"

Gu Ziyi first put on a surprised expression, then hurriedly greeted Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

Tang Xiao looked more or less like Gu Ziyi remembered from the animation, only much younger.

Tang Hao was only a few years older than him. He was a sturdy youth, and his appearance still held a certain rustic simplicity, far from the imposing presence he would have in the future.

"Hello, Classmate Gu Ziyi!"

"We have come this time on behalf of the Haotian Sect to thank you for helping our little sister!"

"This is a gift our father—the Haotian Sect Master—asked us to bring. It represents the sincerity of our Haotian Sect!"

Tang Xiao quickly expressed his goodwill and explained their purpose. At some point, a box had appeared in his hand.

For the time being, he did not mention inviting Gu Ziyi to join the sect. He wanted to make sure there was nothing between Tang Yuehua and Gu Ziyi before extending the invitation.

But setting that aside, Gu Ziyi's help to Tang Yuehua alone was enough for him to put aside his status and speak to Gu Ziyi pleasantly.

"Kid, you've struck it rich!"

"Hurry up and open it. I'm sure you'll be shocked!"

Tang Hao stepped forward with a smile and patted Gu Ziyi on the shoulder, acting as though they were already familiar.

When he mentioned the gift their father had sent, there was even a hint of envy in Tang Hao's voice.

"This..."

Gu Ziyi looked at the box in Tang Xiao's hand but did not take it immediately.

"Classmate Gu Ziyi, hurry and accept it. You deserve this!"

Tang Yuehua had not known that her father had even asked her elder brother to bring a gift of thanks. Seeing Gu Ziyi hesitate, she quickly urged him.

No matter what it was, he should accept it first.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Hearing that, Gu Ziyi did not decline any further and accepted the box from Tang Xiao with both hands.

"Kid, hurry up and open it!"

When Tang Hao saw Gu Ziyi take the box, he urged him again.

He could hardly wait to see Gu Ziyi's shocked expression.

Back when he learned what his father had taken out, he had been utterly stunned as well.

"Alright!"

Gu Ziyi was also curious about what the Clear Sky Sect had brought out, so he immediately opened the box.

As the box opened, a glimmer of azure light shot out.

Once the box was open, Gu Ziyi immediately saw what was inside.

"This is..."

After seeing the item inside the box, Gu Ziyi was indeed startled. He stared at it in disbelief.

"A soul bone?"

"It's actually a soul bone? Uncle is being far too generous, isn't he?"

Bai Lu, who had been following behind them without saying a word, finally cried out in shock upon seeing the item in the box in Gu Ziyi's hands.

The box actually contained a soul bone.

"It really is a soul bone!"

Tang Yuehua was also extremely surprised, then overjoyed.

"That's right. This is a two-thousand-year Azure Wind Wolf Right Leg Soul Bone. Only such a precious gift can represent the gratitude of our Clear Sky Sect!"

"Student Gu Ziyi, please accept it without worry!"

Seeing Gu Ziyi's astonished expression, Tang Xiao was very satisfied. He then introduced the soul bone.

Although it was not a soul bone more than ten thousand years old, any soul bone was a treasure of the Soul Master World, an object countless soul masters dreamed of obtaining.

Of course, neither he nor his younger brother Tang Hao would absorb a soul bone of merely thousand-year quality.

They might not be able to gather a full set of soul bones, but they would never absorb one of excessively low quality.

That was also why their father had been willing to take out this soul bone as a gift of gratitude.

Even so, it was enough to leave them shocked by their father's generosity.

Because of this, Tang Xiao also understood how highly his father regarded Gu Ziyi and that he hoped this would win Gu Ziyi over.

However...

Tang Xiao sighed inwardly. If not for his younger sister, then based solely on Gu Ziyi's prior performance, even if Gu Ziyi's aptitude was too low, he would have felt that such talent was worth recruiting.

But after quietly observing the way his younger sister looked at Gu Ziyi just now, Tang Xiao already knew that she truly had feelings for him.

In that case, he could no longer recruit Gu Ziyi.

As for the soul bone, they would simply treat it as thanks to Gu Ziyi! After all, Gu Ziyi truly had done them a favor.

PS: How about changing the synopsis to this? "A Self-Created Soul Ring? You're saying your First Soul Ring was condensed by yourself?"

"That's right!"

"Self-Created Soul Rings are useless. More than a hundred thousand years ago, there were soul masters on Douluo Continent who created their own soul rings, but they were eventually phased out because most self-created soul rings had no soul skills!"

"That was in the past. After so many years of development, most soul masters' martial souls have already evolved to a very mature stage!"

"That still won't work. The quality of self-created soul rings is too low, far inferior to those from soul beasts!"

"That was in the past. There was no Advanced Meditation Technique before. Now, a Self-Created Soul Ring combined with the Advanced Meditation Technique can raise a soul ring's quality!"

"What? You're telling the truth?"

"That's right!"

"Quick, tell me how to create a soul ring!"
