Harvest Time!

Two years later.

In the Mixed Ring of the Star Dou Great Forest, inside a hidden cave.

Liu Yanyang sat cross-legged in cultivation. The energy of heaven and earth around him began to stir slightly, while the Soul Power within his body started circulating faster.

A few breaths later, Liu Yanyang slowly opened his eyes and carefully sensed every part of his body.

He muttered, "I finally broke through to Level 50!"

He rose and stretched, his bones crackling. This seclusion breakthrough had taken quite a long time!

Then he strode out of the cave and headed deeper into the Mixed Ring.

A quarter of an hour later, he leaped onto a large tree and looked toward a dark cave ahead that reeked of blood and decay.

This was the lair of a fifty-thousand-year Earth Tyrant Dragon. Liu Yanyang had spent a full three months lying in wait, figuring out its daily routine.

Before long, a ten-meter-tall Violent King Dragon emerged from the cave. Its entire body was covered in hard rock armor, and hot air billowed from its gaping maw.

He watched it slowly pass before his eyes and disappear into the depths of the forest.

Liu Yanyang immediately moved, entering the cave and looking at the scattered skeletons, scraps, and fragments strewn across the ground.

The air was filled with a rotten stench. Covering his nose, he stood in the center of the cave and used his Spiritual Power to probe its interior.

At last, he sensed fluctuations from one spot and immediately sprinted toward their source.

There, a yellowish-brown bone radiating Soul Power lay quietly atop a clean stone platform.

Liu Yanyang's body trembled slightly as he carefully picked it up and examined it. This was a thirty-thousand-year Earth Tyrant Dragon Torso Bone!

"Two years. A whole two years!"

"Who knew how he had endured these past two years!"

"Finally, today, he had successfully found a soul bone!"

Liu Yanyang was filled with emotion, his eyes even growing slightly moist.

He placed the soul bone in an Iron Box, stored it in his Storage Soul Tool, and immediately left the Earth Tyrant Dragon's lair.

After returning to his own cave, he took out two Jade Boxes and one Iron Box from his Storage Soul Tool.

The Iron Box contained the Earth Tyrant Dragon Torso Bone he had just acquired, a top-grade thirty-thousand-year soul bone.

The Jade Boxes contained a forty-thousand-year Star Moon Spirit Radiance and a forty-thousand-year Shining Sun Radiance.

After consuming the Star Moon Spirit Radiance, one could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the radiance of the moon.

After consuming the Shining Sun Radiance, one could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the brilliance of the sun.

The two were symbiotic and usually grew together, attracting and promoting each other.

Consuming them together could cause a Light-attributed Soul Beast or treasure-type Martial Soul to undergo a transformation and evolve.

It had been a fortunate accident. He had found them in a strange cave built by a forty-thousand-year Silver Moon Fox.

These three items were his gains from two years in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"It was worth the trip after all!" Liu Yanyang sighed inwardly.

Now it was time for the harvest. He had raised those leeks for so long!

A few days later.

On a deserted path near Nuoding City.

Liu Yanyang, dressed in a black robe, held a detailed map of the area around Nuoding City that he had bought.

His gaze settled on the words "Holy Soul Village" on the map, and he inspected the surrounding area with the village as the center.

Not far above the words "Holy Soul Village" was a long horizontal line intersected by a shorter vertical line.

"Isn't that the symbol for a waterfall?" Liu Yanyang wondered.

So he did not even need to search around Holy Soul Village. It was marked right on the map!

"Of course. The original description said there was a waterfall about twenty meters wide stretching across a two-hundred-meter-high cliff. How could the map possibly not mark it?"

"After all, this was a detailed map bought at great expense from the black market."

Yesterday, he had visited Nuoding City Academy and discovered that Little Bie San and Old Rabbit had already headed to Suotuo City.

"Then Tang Hao will follow them as well, to prevent them from encountering high-level Soul Masters on their way to Shrek Academy. After all, who wouldn't drool at the sight of a Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast?"

"Since that's the case, I'll tearfully accept the grass and soul bone with a smile!"

Hehehe...

After putting away the map and confirming that no one was around, he immediately summoned his Golden Scale Wings and flew into the distance.

An hour later.

Above a range of rolling mountains, Liu Yanyang lightly flapped his wings and hovered in midair.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he immediately shot toward the depths of the mountains.

Before long, a deep-blue pool appeared before his eyes, with a broad waterfall above it.

Without another word, he flew to the middle of the waterfall. Soul Power surged as he slammed his palm against the stone wall behind the cascading water.

He did not know where the mechanism on the stone wall was. The original text described Tang Hao pressing a certain spot on the wall to trigger it.

But brute force worked miracles!

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..." The sound of the mechanism turning rang out, and a stone door appeared.

Liu Yanyang flapped his wings and flew directly into the cave. It was pitch-black inside, so he took out a Lighting Soul Tool from his Storage Soul Tool.

He walked deeper into the cave and soon arrived at an inner chamber.

There was a small mound of earth on the ground, where a slender Golden Patterned Blue Silver Grass swayed in the breeze.

Above it was a hole in the stone ceiling, through which a sliver of sunlight occasionally shone.

Liu Yanyang crouched before the mound and muttered to himself.

"Say, is this little sunlight enough for photosynthesis, Blue Silver Emperor?"

Watching the flickering sunlight, Liu Yanyang's lips curled up slightly.

"Looks like Tang Hao doesn't cherish you, Madam!"

"Then I'll be merciful and find you a good home!"

The Blue Silver Emperor on the ground seemed to sense danger and began wildly twisting its leaves.

Liu Yanyang grabbed the Blue Silver Emperor, yanked it straight out of the soil, and replanted it in a prepared flowerpot.

After tidying it up, he tossed the grass and its pot into the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.

Then he stood up, walked to the stone wall on the other side, and slapped it hard. With a ding, a black lead box fell from above and landed in his hand.

When he opened the lead box, a crystal-clear blue-gold right leg bone came into view.

His lips unconsciously curled upward. "Little Bie San, your mom's soul bone is really beautiful!"

He then stored the lead box in his Storage Soul Tool and headed straight for the cave entrance.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked toward the stone wall, his lips curling up once more.

"It would be rude not to return a gift! I should at least leave something for the owner!"

Picking up a stone, he walked to a dry section of wall and carved several lines into it.

"While idling about, I listened to music at a brothel!"

"I overheard a blond, blue-eyed man named Dai... Si, or Dai Wei... Anyway, I forgot, saying that a treasure had appeared here."

"Overcome with excitement, I traveled thousands of miles to this place and found that there truly was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

"Heaven cherishes all life and has favored me. I also thank the cave's owner for the gift left behind."

"Oh, and while I am not someone who loves grass, I will certainly find it a family that does!"

Signed: Soul Hall Protector—Sun-Heaven Douluo, was here!

"Hehehe." After tossing away the stone, he slowly strolled out of the cave.

Whether Tang Hao would mistake the Soul Hall for Spirit Hall or go looking for trouble with Dai Weisi—no, he had not written Dai Weisi's full name anyway. What did that have to do with Liu Yanyang?

At the cave entrance, he summoned his Golden Scale Wings and flew toward Suotuo City.
