Chapter 85

After returning from the Soul Guidance Department, Xue Lingyun entered the Cultivation Room and shut the door.

He took out the leather pouch Zhou Yi had given him from his Storage Soul Tool, untied the cord, and poured the Spirit Bone inside into his palm.

This left arm bone was not large. It was grayish white throughout, its surface covered in fine patterns like a dried-up riverbed.

A faint glow radiated from the bone, and the Soul Power around it seemed to grow thicker.

A Secret Law Soul Bone was a composite product extracted from large numbers of Soul Beasts through special methods, not something dropped by a single Soul Beast.

It did not grant a Soul Skill. It only offered a permanent percentage increase and one trait—Fusion Medium.

He took three more identical Spirit Bones from his Storage Soul Tool.

He had asked Yan Shaozhe for them as part of his championship reward.

He had no interest in ordinary Spirit Bones, nor did ten-thousand-year ones appeal to him. Higher-grade bones that suited him better were not something he could simply find whenever he wanted.

So, he chose to ask for several Secret Law Soul Bones.

These were less valuable than ordinary Spirit Bones, but their Fusion Medium trait made up for it.

They were not meant for direct use. They were meant to serve as "glue"—to stick together two Spirit Bones with similar attributes and fuse them into a new one.

After fusion, there was a fifty percent chance their power would increase, and a fifty percent chance they would be damaged beyond repair.

Spirit Bones were already precious, and top-tier Spirit Bones were rarer still.

A failed fusion meant at least three Spirit Bones would be ruined.

This was not the sort of loss one could shrug off
