"Good!"
This time, Yue Guan did not refuse, choosing instead to follow Bibi Dong's arrangements directly.
Absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone is not like absorbing a thousand-year soul bone; it does not require much time, but it still demands a certain duration.
Even though Yue Guan was a Title Douluo, it still took him two days.
He had actually succeeded in absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone in just one day, but the reason he only stopped his cultivation and stood up after two days was because his soul power, pushed by the Hundred-Thousand-Year Torso Bone, had surged directly to the level of a 93rd-rank Title Douluo.
And it was not merely a simple entry into the 93rd rank.
According to Yue Guan's estimation, once he stabilized the power within his body, he would be able to take another step forward in five or six months, raising his strength to the 94th rank.
It had to be said that this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone were an incredibly perfect match for Yue Guan.
"This Hundred-Thousand-Year Torso Bone has provided me with two soul skills: Endless Life and Life Devour."
"Endless Life is a healing-type soul bone skill. It can not only recover my own injuries but also use this power to help others recover theirs. Most importantly, thanks to this soul bone, the secret techniques I developed myself will no longer have any side effects."
"As for Life Devour, it is a defensive soul skill. It can block seventy percent of a power-based attack and also devour ten percent of that power to restore my own soul power..."
The more Yue Guan spoke, the more excited he became.
Although he was currently only a 93rd-rank Title Douluo, he now had the confidence to battle any Title Douluo below the 95th rank.
If he went all out, he could even contend with a 95th-rank Title Douluo, and if he were willing to pay any price, he was even confident in slaying one.
Of course, he had no idea what state he would be in afterward.
After all, the Title Douluo of this era were no simple characters.
"Uncle Yue Guan, for the next phase, stay here at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to stabilize your cultivation. It would be best to push your strength even further."
"Beyond improving your own cultivation, I also want you to deconstruct the Indestructible Diamond Body and create a cultivation method that other soul masters can practice as well."
"Once Uncle Gui Mei and I find a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, we will contact you immediately."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment before assigning Yue Guan his next tasks.
Bibi Dong was very much looking forward to the Indestructible Diamond Body.
However, since Yue Guan had achieved it through the use of immortal herbs, he still needed to conduct further research into the key steps.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, who also had some research in this area, had yet to complete a true Indestructible Diamond Body.
He intended to let Yue Guan research it first, then go to Golden Crocodile Douluo to request his cultivation insights.
It would be best if he could summarize and realize a set of techniques that would allow other soul masters to cultivate the Indestructible Diamond Body.
This concerned the issue of obtaining his first martial soul's soul rings.
Since he had the conditions, he naturally wanted to be more selective with his soul bones.
Therefore, he would not easily fuse with soul bones in the early stages.
However, this made it very difficult for him to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for his seventh or even eighth soul ring.
Even after undergoing the Ice and Fire Gold Body Refining, he was still far from reaching that goal.
The Indestructible Diamond Body was one such direction.
"Xiao Dong, rest assured, I will definitely research the Indestructible Diamond Body."
Yue Guan knew that this was one of the few ways he could truly help Bibi Dong.
Naturally, he would give it his all.
"Uncle Gui Mei, for this period, what you need to do is collect information regarding the soul beasts of the Far North."
"If we cannot find a soul beast suitable for you in the Far North, we will set our sights on the great ocean."
Bibi Dong then turned her gaze toward Gui Mei.
Although Gui Mei did not say it, seeing Yue Guan obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring made him feel quite envious.
At this moment, Bibi Dong hesitated; if she wanted to help Gui Mei find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it would not be a difficult task given the foundation of the Martial Soul Hall.
In the original story, Bibi Dong had fallen out with the elders of the Worship Hall.
If only she could have had the full support of those elders, hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring would not have been so difficult.
Although those elders of the Martial Soul Hall did not possess Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings themselves, that did not mean they were ignorant of the whereabouts of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
After all, as a Title Douluo, who wouldn't want a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?
It was just that their strength at the time made it difficult to find and hunt them; even if they discovered one, killing it was a monumental task.
Some even returned to check the places where they had previously searched for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts after breaking through to the Title Douluo realm, just to be certain they hadn't missed anything on their previous paths.
In fact, Mighty Lion Douluo was a classic example.
When he was searching for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he identified several potential locations, but after checking two or three, he never found one.
He did not give up and intended to continue searching in areas where a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast might exist. On the way, he encountered a Flame Lion King over ninety thousand years old. After slaying it, he suffered significant injuries himself. Considering how well the soul ring matched his own attributes and the situation he was in, he did not hesitate to absorb that ring and became a Title Douluo.
He remained unreconciled even after the fact.
Once his own strength had advanced further, he traveled to the target's location to inspect it, simply wanting to confirm whether a better outcome might have been possible had he persisted a little longer back then.
He actually managed to find that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
The opponent was incredibly powerful, and only after a bout of combat did Mighty Lion Douluo depart.
Yet, this matter remained something of a knot in his heart.
If he had only persisted a little longer back then, perhaps he would have possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
However, as his strength increased and he grew older, he gradually let it go.
Had he insisted on pushing forward back then, he might well have ended up buried in the maw of a soul beast.
After all, among those at level 90 soul power, there was only one ruthless individual in Martial Soul Hall capable of hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast alone, and that was Golden Crocodile Douluo.
For the sake of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Golden Crocodile Douluo had spent two full years.
Only then did he manage to hunt it down alone and successfully obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Bibi Dong often chatted with them and tried to get close to them precisely to pry into such information.
Besides Mighty Lion Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo also knew the whereabouts of other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, one of which was the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor within Death Canyon.
There were also tidbits of information regarding other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in various locations.
Although decades had passed, those Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts might no longer be in their original spots.
But who could say for sure?
Relying on Martial Soul Hall, he was able to collect a great deal of information.
Finding a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Gui Mei was not difficult.
The reason he had not acted immediately was that he was contemplating another matter.
It was something that could make Gui Mei even more powerful.
