Information on the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone

"I will remember you." Tang San's voice was as hoarse as grinding iron, his gaze as cold as a frozen pool, branding Li Taibai's appearance deep into his mind.

He and Tang Xiao, one on each side, struggled to support Tang Hao, who was in such agony he had nearly fainted, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Li Taibai suddenly called out to them.

The three of them stiffened simultaneously, their backs tensing instantly—could it be that they were going back on their word?

Li Taibai gestured toward the trio and said, "Hand over everything you dug up at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

He had seen long ago that the ground had been turned over into a pitted mess; clearly, they had unearthed quite a few treasures.

Tang Xiao looked at Tang San, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

Tang San remained silent for a moment, then unfastened the Soul Tool from his waist and tossed it back to Li Taibai.

Li Taibai caught the Soul Tool and probed it with his spiritual power, but his brow furrowed: "Only these herbs? Nothing else?"

Li Taibai suspected the other party was holding something back.

Tang San lowered his head, saying nothing, only tightening his grip on Tang Hao.

"We only have this one Soul Tool," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

Li Taibai looked at Qian Daoliu with an inquiring gaze—he wanted to search them, but Tang Xiao was a Title Douluo after all. At such close range, even with his teacher protecting him, he might not be safe.

He still needed to develop cautiously; he could not be impulsive.

Qian Daoliu nodded slowly and said, "They indeed only have one Soul Tool."

"Since that's all there is, get lost. Don't be an eyesore here." Li Taibai waved his hand as if shooing away flies. "From this day forward, this land belongs to the Martial Soul Hall. Get far away!"

He turned and handed the Soul Tool to Qian Renxue: "Young Miss, these are the medicinal herbs they dug up; they are all here."

Qian Renxue took the Soul Tool, turned, and said indifferently, "Grandfather, let us go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"Very well," Qian Daoliu replied. His gaze swept over the disheveled backs of Tang San and the others before finally settling on the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The group returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where, amidst the swirling mist, spiritual herbs covered the ground, emitting a soft, shimmering light.

Qian Renxue stood by the spring and began to form hand seals—her fingertips danced like butterflies, the gestures mysterious and complex. Qian Daoliu, Snake Lance Douluo, and the others felt dizzy just watching, as if countless streams of information were crashing into their Sea of Consciousness, making it impossible to comprehend the underlying principles.

Master, I can't hold on much longer, Qian Renxue whispered in her heart, fine beads of cold sweat already seeping onto her forehead.

Chen Qingxuan's voice resonated within her Sea of Consciousness, and at the same time, a gentle energy was injected into her mind: "Steady your heart and spirit."

As the energy circulated, Qian Renxue felt her mind instantly clear, and the previously stagnant seals suddenly flowed with ease.

As the final seal was cast, a peculiar energy rippled outward, enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Divine Ability, Heavenly Evolution Technique, arise!"

Countless pieces of information regarding the herbs surged into her soul like a tide—the composition, attributes, combination methods, and alchemical uses of every Immortal Herb, even their growth age and potential for future mutation, were all crystal clear.

Chen Qingxuan acted once more, placing a seal over this information so that Qian Renxue would only need to touch it with her intent in the future to retrieve it at will.

This Heavenly Evolution Technique was too heaven-defying; it could deduce the mechanisms of all things, but it also came with an extremely powerful backlash.

Had it not been for Chen Qingxuan providing a safety net, Qian Renxue would have already been torn apart by the backlash.

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Qian Renxue opened her eyes and said to Qian Daoliu, "Grandfather, help me dig up the herbs I need."

"Xiaoxue, how should these herbs be dug up? I have no experience with this," Qian Daoliu said, looking at the various spiritual herbs with a sense of helplessness.

"You only need to use your soul power to lift them from the soil. Remember, the roots must not be damaged in the slightest," Qian Renxue instructed.

"Understood," Qian Daoliu replied. Golden soul power surged around him as he carefully reached toward an Immortal Herb emitting a red glow.

Under Qian Renxue's direction, Qian Daoliu removed the mature Immortal Herbs and spiritual herbs from the soil one by one. Qian Renxue collected all the medicinal materials into her spatial ring.

The immature ones were left in place to continue growing.

Two hours passed. Even with the cultivation of a demigod, the high-intensity release of spiritual power left Qian Daoliu with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, all the medicinal materials Qian Renxue needed had been collected.

Li Taibai looked at the unremarkable ring in Qian Renxue's hand, his heart drumming.

Could this be her golden finger?

Is there an old alchemist or a celestial maiden hiding inside?

Otherwise, how could one explain all these unreasonable events?

"Ahem." Qian Daoliu coughed lightly, breaking the silence. "Xiaoxue, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was found by Taibai. Look..."

Qian Renxue took nine bottles of pills from her spatial ring and flicked her fingers; the pills hovered before Li Taibai. The bottles were labeled with delicate, small characters detailing their effects:

"Great Strength Pill: Each pill increases strength by one hundred jin. The efficacy decreases with each use. Take a maximum of nine pills, once every half month. No restriction on cultivation realm."

"Meridian Expansion Pill: Expands meridians and accelerates cultivation. Usable by Soul Masters and above."

"Body Tempering Pill: The first dose increases strength by five hundred jin, activates blood and qi, and enhances meridian resilience..."

"Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging Pill: Rebirth of the body and bones..."

Li Taibai's eyes went wide—these were all top-tier treasures! Even the lowliest Great Strength Pill cost five hundred points in the system shop, while the superior Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging Pill cost over three hundred thousand.

There was quite a haul in this bottle. He had struck it rich!

"These are all yours," Qian Renxue said, looking at him. "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well belongs to me. Any objections?"

"None at all!" Li Taibai hurriedly stowed the pills into his Soul Tool, grinning from ear to ear.

"Since the young mistress has spoken, how could I possibly have any objections?"

According to the system's calculations, the value of these pills was equivalent to the points earned from exchanging five Immortal Herbs; he had truly made a killing this time.

Li Taibai felt an urge right now—an urge to cling to a wealthy woman's coattails. He really didn't want to work hard anymore.

He suddenly remembered something and leaned in closer. "Young mistress, I read in the records of past Pontiffs that six years ago, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed herself to Tang Hao."

"I've looked into Tang Hao's life, and he had already gathered a full set of Soul Bones long ago."

"However, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone. That means Tang Hao must have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in his possession."

Over the past few years, he had been currying favor with Qian Daoliu and had gained significant clearance. In a sense, his access was comparable to that of a Pontiff; aside from the absolute secrets of the Angel Clan, he could examine almost any document within Martial Soul Hall.

"Grandfather, is this true?" Qian Renxue looked toward Qian Daoliu.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is indeed guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone. Taibai is fond of reading; as long as Martial Soul Hall's records on Tang Hao are correct, then it is true," Qian Daoliu nodded.

A cold glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. "My father did not obtain that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, so I shall be the one to claim this Soul Bone."

She turned to Li Taibai. "You, along with Uncle Snake Lance and Uncle Pufferfish, are to track down the whereabouts of Tang Hao and his companions. Remember, do not expose your tracks."

"Understood!" Li Taibai's spirits soared. Excellent, work has arrived. My precious points, here I come again.

Li Taibai exchanged a glance with Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, then turned and flew out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
