Soul Bones

Hearing Gu Yuena's seemingly casual question, Su Yu's heart tightened at first. Then he said, "Senior just mentioned that the Dragon God fell, and the God Kings took power."

"The dragon clan couldn't possibly have had only the Dragon God as its sole deity. In their struggle for authority, the God Kings would naturally have clashed with the other dragons afterward."

"As a member of the dragon clan, Senior would naturally have been injured in that battle."

"What's so hard to guess about that?"

Having covered it up, Su Yu rubbed his hands together like a fly. "Senior, you said just now that you would do everything in your power to help me grow..."

Gu Yuena nodded and asked in return, "Then how do you want me to help you?"

Su Yu asked tentatively, "How about giving me a few Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones first?"

"Heh, you really dare to ask."

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of silvery-white light appeared, and a bracelet-shaped Storage Soul Tool had already appeared before Su Yu.

In less than half a second, Su Yu went from dejected to ecstatic.

He took the bracelet and eagerly began examining the space within it, only to have his eyes nearly blinded.

The bracelet's inner space was packed full of Soul Bones!

Not a single one was below thirty thousand years, and there were even five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!

After his wild excitement faded, Su Yu steadied himself and looked at Gu Yuena. "Senior, if I absorb a large number of Soul Bones within a short period, will it make my foundation unstable?"

"I don't know."

"Huh?"

Su Yu was instantly dumbfounded.

He had never expected Gu Yuena to give such an answer.

Gu Yuena said leisurely, "I was born powerful. Unlike you, I did not need to grow step by step, so naturally I have no experience in this regard."

Hearing that, Su Yu was rendered speechless. He stared resentfully at the flaunting Gu Yuena before him.

"However, I truly do not recommend that you absorb a large number of Soul Bones in a short time."

"Besides possibly affecting your foundation, these Soul Bones may also bring you dangers in other respects..."

Su Yu thought for a moment, then showed a look of understanding. "I understand. A man may be innocent, but he becomes guilty by possessing treasure."

"Senior is worried that someone will chop me into mincemeat."

Gu Yuena nodded. "Precisely. After all, you cannot remain under our protection at all times."

Su Yu asked, "May I ask, Senior, what kinds of soul beasts did these Soul Bones come from?"

"There are too many Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. I can't remember exactly who each one came from..."

Su Yu's mouth fell slightly open, and his gaze toward Gu Yuena was full of accusation.

Damn rich people!

"As for those five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones..."

"The Left Arm Bone and Right Arm Bone came from a hundred-thousand-year Sky-Plundering Beast and a hundred-thousand-year Soul-Sucking Monster, respectively."

"The former will probably grant you two spatial Soul Skills, while the latter may allow you to steal other people's martial souls and Soul Skills..."

Su Yu's eyes lit up. "I know this one!"

"I'm guessing the remaining three Soul Bones... should include one of the two skull bones. One of them can lower a person's intelligence until they can only go 'aba aba'..."

Gu Yuena tilted her head back and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

"That was a guess too, of course!"

Gu Yuena continued, "Of the two skull bones, one came from a Thought Worm. It may truly have the effect you described."

"The other came from an Agate Spider Emperor. Its effect should be to distort light and create illusions..."

"The final torso bone came from a Mirror Image Snake Lady. It can probably grant you a substitute-like ability, allowing you to preserve your life and prevent yourself from being instantly killed."

"Together with the Sky-Plundering Beast's Left Arm Bone, escaping will also be very convenient..."

Su Yu's eyes gleamed brightly as he secretly thought, In the human world, Qian Renxue's position as the richest woman might be disputed, perhaps challenged by Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi.

But in the soul beast world, Gu Yuena is unquestionably the number one patron!

Seeing Su Yu grinning foolishly, Gu Yuena had the thought for the first time that perhaps she had chosen the wrong person.

Su Yu shook his head, then pinched his arm. Only after feeling pain did he confirm that he was not dreaming.

Then, Su Yu examined those Soul Bones once more.

A moment later, joy rose in Su Yu's heart.

Just now, he had only focused on sensing the energy fluctuations of the Soul Bones to judge their age, without carefully distinguishing which body parts they belonged to.

Yet during this detailed inspection, he unexpectedly discovered several External Soul Bones!

With a flip of his hand, a fifty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Right Palm Bone lay in his palm!

At that moment, Su Yu felt that the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.

"Enough, human boy. Wipe that look off your face."

"Ahem, forgive me for embarrassing myself before Senior."

"After you return, cultivate diligently. You must not slack off. Every time you break through a major realm, come see me once..."

"When you break through, you need to obtain Soul Rings. At your current stage, that is unavoidable."

"Once you become a god, you must not only amend the rule that prohibits soul beasts from becoming gods, but also help my people escape this fate."

As Gu Yuena gave her instructions, she handed Su Yu one of her Dragon Scales.

"With it on you, I can lock onto your location at any time."

"If you encounter danger, inject Soul Power into it. I will naturally send someone to save you."

Su Yu took the silvery-white scale and nodded.

He understood that Gu Yuena's injuries had not yet healed and that she needed to conceal herself. Most likely, she could only send Di Tian to act.

However, with Di Tian's cultivation, in this era, who could contend with him as long as no gods appeared?

Holding Gu Yuena's scale, Su Yu could not help thinking of the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Previously, because he lacked sufficient deterrence, he had not dared to make a deal with Dugu Bo.

But now, with the Star Dou Fierce Beasts behind him, he finally had the qualifications to negotiate terms with Dugu Bo.

As for bringing the Beast Kings to seize them outright...

Well, that would somewhat violate Su Yu's bottom line as a person.

Besides, over the past two and a half years, his relationship with Dugu Yan had been quite harmonious.

At the very least, they could be considered friends.

While Su Yu's thoughts ran wild, Gu Yuena began sending him away.

"Alright, Di Tian, escort him out."

Hearing this, Su Yu withdrew his martial soul and bowed. "This junior will take his leave. I wish Senior a speedy recovery."

At the side, Di Tian also bowed and said respectfully, "This subordinate obeys!"

Then, Di Tian directly grabbed Su Yu and vanished from where he stood.

After the two disappeared, eerie Crimson Light once again filled the entire space beneath the lake, making Gu Yuena's figure blurry and hazy.

Su Yu felt dizzy for a moment, and then he had already appeared by the shore of the Lake of Life.

At the lakeside, three pairs of enormous eyes turned toward the suddenly appearing Su Yu.

At this moment, there was no longer any vigilance in their eyes.

In its place was intense curiosity.
