Ye Liangchen was about to obtain his first spirit ring, and that was a major event. The Lan Xiao Die sisters and Shui Lingfeng found the Soul Beast Encyclopedia. Although the little one's miraculous Martial Soul came with its own soul skills, they still did their best to search for soul beasts with similar attributes.
Ye Liangchen, meanwhile, used his mind to check his Game Backpack Space and see if anything had changed.
"Huh! Five Elements Tracing Steps—this is a super movement technique!"
"Pill Compendium records pill-refining methods, as well as the properties and uses of all kinds of rare plants and herbs under heaven. It even has medical knowledge. Not bad. In the future, I can bring over the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Spirit Refining Art cultivates the soul and Spiritual Power. Once cultivated to a certain level, it can see through all illusions, launch Soul Attacks, and even use the soul to perform Humanoid Transformation. This is countless times stronger than little Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes! Not bad at all."
"There are also two Sword Techniques books, Ten Thousand Plums in the Wind and Celestial Flight."
"Holy crap! Isn't this Ten Thousand Plums in the Wind Sword Techniques from the Wan Shi game I played in my past life—the Sword Techniques of Sword God Ximen Chuixue? And there's Ye Gucheng's peerless Celestial Flight Sword Techniques too! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"Huh! There's also a bottle of Body Tempering Pills. Perfect for body refinement. Nice, nice!"
Ye Liangchen cheered inwardly, feeling that the game had given him a bit too much. Once he learned all this, wouldn't he be able to sweep through everything?
Since these Cultivation Techniques and treasures could not be taken out in front of everyone, Ye Liangchen withdrew his mind, then picked up the Jade Pendant Soul Guidance Device his parents had left him and looked to see what was inside.
"Huh! Since this soul guidance device was left behind by my parents, and Lan Xiao Die doesn't seem to have checked it either, I can put the first two sections of the Primordial Chaos Sutra and the Five Elements Divine Fist inside it. Then I can claim they were left behind by my parents, and afterward I can openly pass them on to Lan Xiao Die and the others. As for the other Cultivation Techniques, I'll talk about those later."
"They're so good to me and think of me in everything. As an upstanding young man who once grew up under the red flag, Ye Liangchen understood the principle of repaying kindness. Besides, they were his Dao Protectors. The stronger they became, the safer he would be."
With that thought, Ye Liangchen pretended to walk into the bathroom in his room and shut the door tight. Then he used his mind to take the first two sections of the Primordial Chaos Sutra and the Five Elements Divine Fist out of the Game Backpack Space and placed them into the Jade Pendant Soul Guidance Device.
As for the two peerless Sword Techniques books, he took them out as well. In any case, they would think they were Sword Techniques his father had left behind, and they would not suspect anything. Whoever among them liked them could practice them.
Ye Liangchen only left the first two sections of the Primordial Chaos Sutra, and the first two sections should be enough for them to cultivate to Peerless Douluo. As for what realm they could truly reach, that would only be known after they cultivated. As for the supreme section, they were not cheaters, so they would not be able to cultivate it either.
Ye Liangchen was not sure what realm Lan Xiao Die and the others could cultivate to after practicing the Primordial Chaos Sutra. After all, they were already several decades old now. However, he had previously had them take Foundation Establishment Pills, so reaching Titled Douluo should not be a big problem. Even the Dean grandmother might possibly reach Titled Douluo.
When Ye Liangchen probed into the jade pendant's space with Soul Power, he discovered that the space inside was about fifty cubic meters. There was a pile of Gold Soul Coins—by his visual estimate, probably several million of them—as well as an exquisite and ancient-looking wooden chest, about one meter in length and width.
Holy shit! He never expected his parents to have left him so much money! Several million Gold Soul Coins—on Douluo Continent, that was a huge fortune! Now he had become a rich second generation.
Sigh! I don't like money! I'm not interested in money.
Ye Liangchen thought of Little Ma's pretentious line, shook his head, and took out the wooden chest, wanting to see what was inside.
Once he opened the chest, he found a palm-sized Token inside. In the center of the Token was a golden longsword, and on the left and right sides were six symbols, including a hammer, a dragon, and a sword. It seemed this Token was the Pope Token.
There were two small boxes in the chest. Ye Liangchen opened them both and took a look. One of the boxes contained four soul bones, and among them was one that was different from the others. It seemed to be an External Soul Bone.
The other box contained a Soul Master cultivation experience manual, as well as a Sword Techniques book left behind by his father, Ye Feng. Ye Liangchen flipped through it, and it was decent.
Not bad at all! The things his parents left him were all high-grade goods!
Ye Liangchen quickly placed the two sections of the Primordial Chaos Sutra, the Five Elements Divine Fist, and the three Sword Techniques books into the chest, stored it inside the soul guidance device, then picked up the Pope Token and walked straight out of the room, shouting toward Lan Xiao Die and the others.
"Aunt Lan, Dean Grandma, hurry and look! What is this?"
Lan Xiao Die and the others, who were planning Ye Liangchen's cultivation path, were instantly shocked when they saw the Pope Token in the little one's hand.
"This is a Pope Token! Little Chen, you opened the soul guidance device?" Lan Xiao Die asked in surprise.
"Yes, Aunt Lan! I found a lot of money inside the Jade Pendant Soul Guidance Device, along with this Token and a wooden chest."
Ye Liangchen pretended to be extremely shocked, then placed the Jade Pendant Soul Guidance Device and the Pope Token in Lan Xiao Die's hand.
"It seems Little Chen's parents left the Pope Token inside the soul guidance device. Little Chen! This is the property your parents left you. Spend it slowly in the future."
Lan Xiao Die picked up the Pope Token in her hand and looked it over, then stuffed the Pope Token and the soul guidance device back into Ye Liangchen's hands. As for the property left behind by the Ye Feng Couple, she felt it was not appropriate to inspect it.
"Aunt Lan! I'm only six years old. If I carry so much money with me, what if I lose it? You should help me manage it. That'd be safer."
Ye Liangchen knew what kind of people Lan Xiao Die and the others were. The reason he did this was to make them open the chest, then let them learn the super Cultivation Techniques. Otherwise, wouldn't all his effort have been for nothing?
"Fine! Then Aunt will help you manage this money. When you need money, Aunt will give it to you. When the time comes, you can spend it however you want."
As Ye Liangchen's guardian, Lan Xiao Die also felt that the little one was only six years old. Carrying a huge sum on him was like a child walking down the street holding gold—not safe.
So she used Soul Power to check the situation inside the jade pendant and see exactly how much money the Ye Feng Couple had left behind.
The next moment, Lan Xiao Die was startled by the small mountain of Gold Soul Coins inside the soul guidance device.
"Heavens! So many Gold Soul Coins. There must be at least several million. Ye Feng and Liu Ru Yan really were amazing, leaving behind so much money. It's enough for the little one to spend for a lifetime."
Gold Soul Coins were the common currency of Douluo Continent. One Gold Soul Coin was equivalent to ten Silver Spirit Coins and one hundred Copper Spirit Coins. An ordinary commoner's yearly expenses were only three or four Gold Soul Coins.
"It seems Ye Feng and Liu Ru Yan had already prepared a way out for Little Chen."
Shui Lingfeng and the Lan Xiao Die sisters exchanged a glance, thinking that with this money, it could also guarantee the little one a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.
Lan Xiao Die took out the wooden chest. Looking at the simple chest, which seemed somewhat ancient, she opened it.
"There are actually two more boxes."
"Buzz, buzz..."
After the first box was opened, several rays of light shone out, emitting powerful Soul Power.
"Heavens! They're actually four soul bones!"
"And they're soul bones with no low age, either. They look to be at least tens of thousands of years old."
"Huh! This soul bone is different from the others. Could it be an External Soul Bone?"
"That's right! It's an External Soul Bone, and a ten-thousand-year External Soul Bone at that. This is a super treasure!"
"The treasures Little Chen's parents left him really weren't simple!"
Lan Xiao Die, her sister, and Shui Lingfeng looked at the four spirit bones, extremely excited, but none of them had any designs on them. These all belonged to Ye Liangchen.
"The aura of this External Soul Bone is at least over ten thousand years. Little Chen can absorb it now. This kind of spirit bone can grow along with the little fellow, and the spirit bone's age will also increase. A treasure like this can only be found by chance, not sought, and is second only to a 100,000 Year Spirit Ring."
Shui Lingfeng made the suggestion. Ye Liangchen had Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, so he had to be raised with the best resources.
"Buzz, buzz..."
Lan Xiao Die pinched Ye Liangchen all over with her hands, using soul power to sense the little fellow's physical strength.
"After Little Chen awakened his martial soul, his physical strength became several times stronger than before. His physical power is astonishing now. He should be able to absorb this External Soul Bone."
Ye Liangchen actually felt these spirit bones were nothing much. Ages of a few tens of thousands of years were a bit low; 100,000 years would be more like it. Besides, he had a Cheat System, so spirit bones weren't that important to him.
"Little Chen! Come! Use soul power to absorb and fuse with this External Soul Bone."
Lan Xiao Die handed the External Soul Bone to Ye Liangchen, then taught him how to absorb a spirit bone.
"Aunt Lan! Dean Grandma! What about you? There are so many spirit bones. You can absorb them too!"
"Silly child, these are treasures your parents left for you. How could we use them? Hurry and absorb the External Soul Bone according to the method I taught you!"
Lan Xiao Die, her sister, and Shui Lingfeng refused to absorb the spirit bones. These had been left to Ye Liangchen by his parents. As his guardians, they had no crooked thoughts. But seeing how sensible the little fellow was, they were very moved, so they urged him to hurry and absorb the spirit bone.
"All right, then!"
Ye Liangchen used soul power to attach the External Soul Bone to his back, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and guided it with soul power to make it fuse.
"Buzz, buzz..."
As Ye Liangchen guided it with his soul power, the External Soul Bone turned into a ball of light and merged into his back. It made him feel a little itchy and a little painful, like being bitten by ants.
"Chirp, chirp..."
A scene also appeared in Ye Liangchen's Sea of Soul: a Thunderhawk five meters in size charged toward him.
A mere little bird dares act up?
Break for me...
Ye Liangchen had lived two lives, and his soul was extremely powerful. He wasn't afraid of the remnant soul consciousness within the spirit bone at all. Inside his Sea of Soul, he gave a cold snort, unleashed Dragon Fist, and scattered the Thunderhawk's remnant soul consciousness in just a few blows.
After the Thunderhawk's remnant soul consciousness dissipated, the External Soul Bone successfully fused with Ye Liangchen, and the fusion was extremely perfect.
"Swish, swish..."
"Zzzzt, zzzzt..."
A pair of golden wings wreathed in lightning extended from Ye Liangchen's back. Each wing was 1.5 meters long. The golden wings slowly flapped, lifting Ye Liangchen up from the ground, incomparably dazzling.
The golden feathers on the wings were very hard and could be used as weapons to kill enemies. Not bad at all.
"I can actually fly."
Ye Liangchen felt like he had turned into a birdman. Seeing that he was about to hit the roof, he immediately controlled the speed of his wings' flapping and slowly descended.
"Little Chen! How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort? What is the Spirit Bone Skill?" Lan Xiao Die grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand and asked with a worried expression.
"No discomfort. I feel great. Aunt Lan! This is the External Soul Bone of a 15,000-year Thunderhawk. Its Spirit Bone Skill gives me the ability to fly, and it can also be used as a weapon." Ye Liangchen moved his body a little. He felt extremely comfortable all over, and felt that his physical strength had increased by about half.
Seeing that Ye Liangchen had successfully fused with it, the hearts Lan Xiao Die and the others had been holding up finally settled. They reached out and touched the golden feathers on the wings, feeling that they were like blades.
"Good! This is truly wonderful. When you encounter enemies in the future, you can swing this pair of wings and use them as weapons."
"Little Chen! Now use your will to retract the External Soul Bone." Lan Xiao Die stroked Ye Liangchen's little head, feeling deeply relieved.
"Child! Before you become strong, you must never casually reveal your External Soul Bone outside. Although your External Soul Bone has already fully fused with you, there are too many bad people out there. Once someone with ill intentions discovers it, they'll become jealous."
Shui Lingfeng warned Ye Liangchen about the principle of not flaunting wealth. There were too many bad people in this world, and she wanted him to remember it well.
"Don't worry! Dean Grandma, I'll remember." Ye Liangchen nodded. Before his strength was powerful enough, he had to lay low first.
"What's in this last box?" Lan Xiao Ling opened the remaining box and saw several Cultivation Techniques appear before everyone's eyes.
"Primordial Chaos Sutra, Five Elements Divine Fist, and three Sword Techniques and cultivation insights left behind by Ye Feng."
"Heavens! These aren't Cultivation Techniques from Douluo Continent!"
"They should be something Ye Feng and Liu Ru Yan obtained when they explored some divine relic seven or eight years ago. Could they come from the God Realm?"
"If they had cultivated these Cultivation Techniques back then, I imagine they would have become Titled Douluo long ago."
Lan Xiao Die and the others were extremely shocked. These Cultivation Techniques had already surpassed their understanding.
Ye Liangchen was also very surprised to hear that his parents had once explored a divine relic!
But since Lan Xiao Die and the others thought the Primordial Chaos Sutra and Five Elements Divine Fist came from the God Realm, that worked out perfectly. He didn't need to explain anything himself.
Earlier, when Ye Liangchen had put the Cultivation Techniques into the box, he had been afraid some clue might be exposed. He hadn't expected that his parents had actually explored a divine relic before, and Lan Xiao Die and the others had conveniently filled in the blanks themselves, believing that these Cultivation Techniques had all been brought out from the divine relic by his parents.
Too perfect! Ye Liangchen gave it a mental thumbs-up.
"These three peerless Sword Techniques are just right for Little Chen to cultivate. Now we don't have to worry about Little Chen's Sword Spirit cultivation either."
"These Cultivation Techniques all belong to Little Chen and are incomparably precious. We should help him put them away first."
Although Shui Lingfeng, Lan Xiao Die, and her sister were very excited, when they thought of how these were things Ye Feng and Liu Ru Yan had exchanged their lives for, they had no designs on them either.
"Grandma Dean, Aunt Lan, you should cultivate too!"
Ye Liangchen had taken out these Cultivation Techniques precisely so they could cultivate them. Otherwise, it would all be wasted.
"Child! You really are your aunt's lucky star."
Seeing how sensible Ye Liangchen was, Lan Xiao Die excitedly picked the little fellow up and affectionately kissed his face again and again.
"In that case, let's cultivate! Only by becoming stronger can we protect Little Chen and the two little girls as they grow. Maybe we can even rely on this divine art to become Titled Douluo."
"In this world where the strong were respected, only with enough power could one truly establish a foothold."
Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiao Ling exchanged a glance. With the help of this divine art, they would definitely be able to rebuild their sect in the future.
Lan Xiao Die carefully studied the Primordial Chaos Sutra with them. This kind of Cultivation Technique was thousands upon thousands of times stronger than a soul master's simple meditative cultivation, and it broadened their understanding as well.
After that, Lan Xiao Die took out several million Gold Soul Coins and the remaining Three Spirit Bones and placed them in the academy's Gold Vault, keeping them safe for the little fellow. Then the three women spent almost an entire day copying down the Primordial Chaos Sutra and the Five Elements Divine Fist before putting them away.
Lan Xiao Die also placed one thousand Gold Soul Coins, the Primordial Chaos Sutra, the Five Elements Divine Fist, and several books of Sword Techniques into the jade pendant, then hung it around Ye Liangchen's neck and told him to keep it safe and cultivate diligently. The little fellow was now at the starting stage of soul master cultivation; by cultivating such divine arts, his future achievements would be limitless.
"These divine arts are incomparably precious. It could be said that they have completely shattered the Soul Master World's existing understanding. Once they spread, they will definitely stir up a storm of blood and bloodshed."
"We must keep this secret. Aside from our own people, it cannot be casually passed on to anyone else."
"As for the people in the academy, we'll discuss this at length after we obtain Little Chen's first soul ring."
After dinner, the Lan Xiao Die sisters and their mother discussed their future plans. Toward this kind of divine art, they were especially cautious.
Once this Cultivation Technique was exposed, the entire Douluo Continent would surely go mad. When the time came, every faction would rise up together to attack Skywater Academy.
