Intercepting the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone

Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, another ten days went by, and the major Soul Master academies across the continent began their enrollment season.

During those ten days, apart from eating and sleeping, Ye Liangchen spent every day observing the pedestrians on the streets. Sometimes, he took Little Cat to the woods outside the city and guided her in practicing Fist Techniques. His days were exceptionally carefree.

One morning, Ye Liangchen stood by the hotel window, watching the bustling crowds on the street, when a blue figure and a pink figure suddenly emerged from the road leading to Holy Soul Village.

Both were young. The one dressed in blue was a boy who looked about 1.7 meters tall. He appeared very mature, with a belt around his waist studded with pieces of jade that made it especially eye-catching. The one dressed in pink was a girl with two rabbit ears atop her head. She was adorable, hopping and skipping beside the blue-clothed boy like a Little Rabbit.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had finally set off. Tang Hao should be leaving as well.

Ye Liangchen quietly watched everything unfold, thinking that after nearly twelve years in this world, he had finally seen the San Wu Duo.

Tang San and Xiao Wu chatted and laughed as they headed down the official road toward the Balak Kingdom. Before long, an elderly man in a black robe whose face could not be seen also appeared on the street, following far behind Tang San and Xiao Wu from several hundred meters away.

Seeing this, Ye Liangchen curled his lips. Tang Hao had finally left Holy Soul Village. He had been planning for this day for a long time.

"Little Cat! It's time for us to leave. We need to find your third spirit ring."

Ye Liangchen entered the sitting room and woke Zhu Zhu Qing, who had been cultivating. Whenever this girl had free time, all she did was cultivate.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

The moment Zhu Zhu Qing heard that they were going to obtain her third spirit ring, she became extremely excited. She immediately rose and packed some of her clothes.

"Dear guests, thank you for your patronage. I wish you a pleasant journey."

When he saw the two checking out, the hotel's Lobby Manager wore a knowing smile, thinking that he had successfully brought another couple together.

Ye Liangchen shook his head and paid no attention to the Lobby Manager's words. He led the faintly blushing Little Cat out of the hotel.

"Zhu Qing, have you decided what Soul Beast you want for your third spirit ring?"

"Brother Chen, I want a Lightning Shadow Leopard."

"I feel that the first three skills of your Netherworld Family and the White Tiger Family were all chosen by your ancestors long ago."

"Yes, you could say that."

The two discussed the Martial Soul inheritances of the Star Luo Royal Family, but in Ye Liangchen's view, they were far too conservative.

"Before obtaining your third spirit ring, let's first visit the mountain behind Holy Soul Village. The scenery there is beautiful, and we might come across some good medicinal herbs."

"Brother Chen, just arrange it as you see fit. I'll listen to you."

Little Cat now centered everything around Ye Liangchen. Whatever he said, she would do.

At a shop, Ye Liangchen bought a small flowerpot and a bag of mortar used for building walls, something similar to cement.

"Brother Chen, why did you buy a small flowerpot? Are you going to grow flowers?" Zhu Zhu Qing asked curiously.

"Zhu Qing, you know that I've been studying medicine. Naturally, I have to deal with all sorts of medicinal herbs. If I find some top-quality medicinal ingredients, I'll need to bring them back and plant them at my manor."

"Brother Chen, you're amazing. You know everything."

"Of course. As a genius, I have to be proficient in everything."

The two chatted and laughed as they headed toward Holy Soul Village. The morning sunlight spilled over them, casting two beautiful shadows behind them.

Holy Soul Village was the newbie village of Douluo Continent. Countless transmigrators had emerged from here. As a transmigrator himself, Ye Liangchen naturally had to come and see it.

When Ye Liangchen brought Little Cat to a hillside outside Holy Soul Village, what came into view was a lovely little mountain village. Because it was close to Nuoding City, the villagers grew large amounts of grain and vegetables to sell there. Their lives were fairly comfortable, and nearly every household had built a beautiful house.

At the eastern end of the village stood a dilapidated thatched hut. It was particularly conspicuous amid the beautiful little mountain village. A wooden hammer hung from its roof, telling others that this was a blacksmith's shop.

"Brother Chen, how could such a beautiful little mountain village have such a run-down thatched hut? That family looks so poor!" Zhu Zhu Qing asked curiously as she looked at the village.

"That's just a blacksmith's shop. Look, there's a hammer on the roof. That means the owner of the house swings a big hammer for a living."

Ye Liangchen brushed Zhu Zhu Qing off with a vague answer. If he told her that this was the home of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, it would surely make her jaw drop.

"Zhu Qing, let's head into the mountains. I'll take you flying directly." Ye Liangchen took Little Cat's hand and ran toward the Mountain Forest.

"Brother Chen, you can fly too?"

"There are plenty of things I can do. Today, I'll let you experience what it feels like to fly."

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

After arriving at a high spot, Ye Liangchen directly activated his External Soul Bone. A pair of golden wings nearly two meters long appeared behind him, crackling with lightning and dazzling beyond measure.

The age of his External Soul Bone had increased considerably again, and it had also grown much larger. It was probably already around twenty thousand years old. Ye Liangchen had even given it a cool name: Wind Thunder Wings.

"Brother Chen, is that a spirit bone? It's so amazing!"

Although Zhu Zhu Qing had been born into the Hell Spirit Cat Clan and knew about treasures like spirit bones, she had never seen one before.

"This is my External Soul Bone, the Wind Thunder Wings. It gives me the ability to fly."

"Hold on to me. Get ready to take off."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen possessed such an incredible spirit bone, Zhu Zhu Qing felt a trace of envy, but she was also happy for him.

"Oh! Okay, Brother Chen."

Zhu Zhu Qing stretched out her arms and tightly wrapped them around Ye Liangchen's waist, eagerly anticipating this flight.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Under Ye Liangchen's mental control, the Wind Thunder Wings began to flap, slowly lifting the two of them into the air.

"Brother Chen, it's so high!"

At an altitude of a hundred meters, Zhu Zhu Qing looked down and felt a chill run down her back.

"Don't worry. The lift generated by the Wind Thunder Wings Flight Skill can carry up to five hundred jin."

"I'll let you experience an even greater height."

Ye Liangchen flapped his wings and shot straight up to an altitude of five hundred meters, scaring Little Cat half to death. She clung tightly to him like an octopus.

"Brother Chen, it's too high."

It was Zhu Zhu Qing's first time experiencing flight like this, and she felt both nervous and thrilled.

"Little Cat! This is what true free flight feels like. Once, when I went to the Star Dou Forest with Aunt Lan and the others, I flew straight up to a thousand meters. Now that was exciting."

As Ye Liangchen flew, he scanned the depths of the mountain range for places with water.

Half a day later, the two arrived deep within the mountains. Suddenly, Zhu Zhu Qing cried out, "Brother Chen, look! There's a valley over there, and a waterfall too. It's so beautiful!"

"Let's go down and take a look."

Ye Liangchen saw it as well. It was a scenic valley, with a broad waterfall twenty meters high cascading down from the cliff ahead, carrying the feeling of a river plunging three thousand feet, as though the Milky Way had fallen from the heavens.

The waterfall flowed into the valley and formed a huge pool. Under the sunlight, rings of rainbows shimmered across its surface, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Ye Liangchen felt that this should be the place, so he slowly descended into the valley.

"Brother Chen, it's so beautiful here!"

Looking at the waterfall several hundred meters away, as well as the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees, Zhu Zhu Qing could not help but marvel.

"It is beautiful. There are plenty of medicinal herbs in this valley, so we need to gather more. Later, I'll refine more Spirit Power Pills."

Looking at the beautiful valley, which was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and rare herbs, Ye Liangchen thought to himself that Tang Hao really knew how to pick a place.

"Brother Chen, there are lots of medicinal herbs over there. I'll go gather them first. I've studied with you for so many days, so I recognize quite a few herbs now."

"Go ahead! Be careful. I'll go take a look near the waterfall."

Watching Little Cat excitedly run into the woods and happily gather all kinds of medicinal herbs, Ye Liangchen flew directly to a large rock beside the waterfall. He spread out his Spiritual Sense and examined the cave entrance behind the waterfall.

According to Ye Liangchen's memories, Tang Hao had carved the entrance into the stone wall. There was also a Secret Door, and now that it was hidden behind the waterfall, it was extremely difficult to spot.

Ye Liangchen dug up an ordinary Blue Silver Grass from the nearby ground, preparing to pull off a substitution.

Closing his eyes, Ye Liangchen unleashed his Spiritual Sense. Nothing within the entire valley could escape his perception. He saw several grooves on the cliff wall behind the waterfall, along with a protruding stone above them that looked like a trigger mechanism.

Ye Liangchen took out the King of Chicken Dinner and fired several shots at the upper cliff wall through the waterfall.

"Click... click... click..."

After three shots, a faint rumbling sound seemed to come from above the cliff wall. He must have hit it.

He spread out his Spiritual Sense again and, sure enough, discovered a cave entrance in the stone wall behind the center of the waterfall.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen activated the External Spirit Bone Flight Skill and charged straight toward the cave entrance.

"Splash..."

His powerful momentum carried him straight through the waterfall and into the cave. Looking back at the waterfall behind him, Ye Liangchen felt that it was quite similar to the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Without a flight skill, it would have been difficult to reach this place, but for a cheater like Ye Liangchen, it was no trouble at all.

The cave was roughly three meters tall, and there was a soul power Protective Barrier at its entrance, set up by Tang Hao.

Ye Liangchen actually felt that Tang Hao had completely overdone it. No one would be able to discover such a hidden place in the first place, and with the waterfall blocking it outside, even ordinary small animals could not enter.

Bang...

Crack...

Ye Liangchen swung his fist and punched the soul power Protective Barrier, shattering it directly.

A cave several meters deep appeared ahead. In its center was a pile of soil, upon which grew a Blue Silver Grass about twenty centimeters tall. Its blue leaves were covered with Golden Veins.

There was also a ventilation opening the size of a bowl near the top of the stone wall, through which a faint trace of light and moisture flowed inside.

At that moment, the Blue Silver Grass sensed the fresh air. Its tiny branches swayed gently in the wind, as though it were desperately trying to absorb the fresh air.

Tang Hao was truly ruthless, planting the Blue Silver Emperor inside this cave. Once the entrance was sealed, this place became dark day and night. It was practically a prison.

The ventilation opening above probably only received sunlight for a few hours each day. The Blue Silver Emperor had relied on the moisture and light flowing in through it to stubbornly survive.

Ye Liangchen took out a flowerpot, collected some water from the waterfall outside the cave entrance, and poured it over the Blue Silver Emperor's roots.

"Buzz, buzz..."

Like rain after a long drought, the Blue Silver Emperor was nourished. Its tiny vines trembled slightly, and one vine even stretched out to wrap around Ye Liangchen's finger, as though thanking him. The current Blue Silver Emperor only possessed instinctive reactions.

"Interesting."

"Since you're so pitiful, I'll take you away from this dark place!"

Ye Liangchen took out a shovel and dug up the Blue Silver Emperor. He placed it, together with the soil, into the flowerpot and stored it in the Pet Space of the Game Backpack.

He then took out the ordinary Blue Silver Grass he had pulled up earlier and planted it on the original pile of soil.

He fetched several buckets of water from the waterfall outside and poured them over it, letting this ordinary Blue Silver Grass live a little longer.

"Huh! I was so focused on transplanting the Blue Silver Emperor that I nearly forgot about the spirit bone too."

Ye Liangchen spread out his Spiritual Sense and quickly noticed something unusual in the stone wall. The spirit bone was presumably hidden inside.

"Click..."

Ye Liangchen directly took out the King of Chicken Dinner and fired a shot at the stone wall.

"Bang..."

The stone wall shattered, and a Lead Box weighing over a hundred jin fell out.

"Tang Hao, your wife is gone, and now your spirit bone is gone too."

With a crooked grin, Ye Liangchen opened the Lead Box. What met his eyes was a Right Leg Spirit Bone radiating a blue glow.

Ye Liangchen did not stand on ceremony. He directly stored the spirit bone in his Soul Tool, then placed the Lead Box back into the recess in the stone wall. Using the stones on the ground, he sealed up the hollow, fetched some water, and plastered the stones over with mortar.
