Holy Soul Village happened to be near Nuoding City.
But such a secretive matter would seem too strange if Lin Ye directly took them there. He had to arrive at Holy Soul Village first.
"Let's go."
"Mm."
The two continued on their journey.
Along the way, they passed an inn, and Lin Ye went inside to ask for directions to Holy Soul Village.
As it happened, Holy Soul Village was more or less along their route.
A few hours later, Lin Ye finally arrived near Holy Soul Village.
"Now that we're here, I need to come up with a reason to find the Spirit Bone." Lin Ye pondered.
After thinking it over, it seemed that invoking the Angel God was the most reasonable explanation.
Lin Ye suddenly stopped and called out, "Wait! Teacher, come out for a moment."
Qian Daoliu quickly appeared, asking in confusion, "What is it, disciple?"
"Just now, a voice suddenly seemed to appear in my mind, reminding me that a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone is hidden somewhere nearby!" Lin Ye said.
"What!? A voice? Could it be a message from the Angel God?"
Lin Ye did not deny it.
Qian Daoliu immediately decided, "Go! Let's look for it!"
"Let's check in this direction."
Lin Ye pointed toward the mountain range behind Holy Soul Village.
"Alright!"
The three immediately headed over.
Before long, they entered the uninhabited mountain range and began searching.
Where there was a waterfall, there would be a stream. As long as they found the stream and followed it upstream, they would eventually find the waterfall.
An hour later.
Lin Ye finally spotted a waterfall. His instincts told him this was the place!
Qian Daoliu also released his spiritual senses.
A powerhouse like him could sense the aura of a Spirit Bone. Qian Daoliu soon revealed a delighted expression. "Disciple! We found it! There really is a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone nearby!"
"This is... the aura of that Blue Silver Emperor from back then!"
"So that's how it is." Qian Daoliu seemed to have figured it out. "I was wondering how a place like this could hide a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone. It turns out it belonged to the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor that sacrificed herself to Tang Hao back then. Tang Hao left it here."
"Disciple, there is a cave behind this waterfall. The Spirit Bone is hidden inside it!"
"Go retrieve it yourself."
"Alright!"
Lin Ye swiftly rushed through the waterfall and entered the cave, eventually finding a box.
Without even opening it, he could already feel the powerful life aura of Blue Silver Grass emanating from within.
"It's mine!"
Lin Ye beamed and carried the Spirit Bone out.
"Disciple, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone is absolutely superior to any Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone. Absorb it without hesitation, and it will surely benefit you greatly," Qian Daoliu said with a smile.
"Mm!"
Lin Ye did not hesitate. He immediately sat down beside the waterfall and began absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Over nearly eight months of training, Lin Ye's Soul Power had already risen from level 44 when he set out to level 46. After absorbing this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone, his Soul Power would certainly increase once again.
The Soul Power increase provided by a Spirit Bone was far inferior to that of a Soul Ring, but this was still a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone. After absorbing it, Lin Ye's Soul Power broke through from level 46 to level 47.
It also granted him two Spirit Bone skills.
Spirit Bone Skill One: Flight, granting the ability to fly.
This skill was utterly useless to Lin Ye, who already possessed the External Soul Bone Bright Dragon Wings.
Because he could already fly.
Its only advantage was that flying with this skill consumed less Soul Power than activating his External Soul Bone.
And this Spirit Bone's most crucial skill was this: Wildfires cannot burn it all away; when the spring breeze blows, it grows anew. This skill allowed the body to repair itself. Even severed limbs could regenerate on their own.
If Lin Ye encountered an overwhelmingly powerful opponent in the future and was severely injured after a bitter battle, or even lost a leg or foot, he could activate this skill to instantly restore his body to perfect condition, turning the tables in a desperate situation and killing his formidable foe!
The assistance provided by a Spirit Bone was not limited to skills; it also strengthened the body to a certain extent.
After absorbing this Spirit Bone, Lin Ye's combat strength had undoubtedly increased once more.
"Lin Ye is getting stronger and stronger. No, once this assessment is over and we return, I must fight him and see just how strong he has become." Qian Renxue lightly clenched her fist.
Her desire to battle Lin Ye grew even stronger.
"Not bad." Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and asked, "Where is Teacher?"
Qian Renxue pointed toward the woods beside the waterfall. "Over there."
"Let's go."
The two walked toward Qian Daoliu and saw him quietly standing before a stalk of Blue Silver Grass.
Lin Ye walked over and asked, "Teacher, is this Blue Silver Grass Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor from back then?"
"Correct." Qian Daoliu nodded. "The Blue Silver Emperor's growth rate truly is remarkable. The seed left behind after her sacrifice was replanted, yet it reached a hundred years of cultivation in only six short years."
"At this rate, it only needs a few thousand years to return to a hundred thousand years of cultivation."
"Unfortunately, no matter how quickly she grows, she cannot catch up with humanity's short lifespan. Let's go. This Blue Silver Emperor no longer has any value to us."
"Teacher, wait!" Lin Ye had no intention of letting the Blue Silver Emperor remain here. He said, "When Brother Ling and I went to the core of Sunset Forest, there was a place where any plant could grow ten times faster."
Qian Daoliu's expression changed upon hearing this. "You mean transplant this Blue Silver Emperor into Sunset Forest?"
"That's right. If the Blue Silver Emperor can reach a hundred years of cultivation in six years, then with the tenfold growth rate in Sunset Forest, it can reach ten thousand years of cultivation in six years!"
"In sixty years, it can become a Hundred Thousand Year plant-type Soul Beast!"
"We may not be able to use her, but we can leave her for the next generation."
Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up. "Good, good, good! Bring her back. Once Spirit Hall unifies the continent in the future, we will transplant her into Sunset Forest."
Qian Daoliu decisively pulled Ah Yin from the soil and took her away.
"Tang Hao, Tang Hao... when you return and find that both your Spirit Bone and your wife are gone, I wonder how you'll feel."
Just like that, the three took away Tang Hao's wife and Tang San's mother.
Lin Ye and Qian Renxue continued onward.
Their next stop was Suotuo City.
Suotuo City was one of Douluo Continent's largest cities, second only to Heaven Dou City, Star Luo City, and Spirit City.
The city's Soul Fighting Arena was extremely famous and also the most prestigious.
Soul Masters from all over the continent came here to compete in Soul Fighting matches.
To improve his own practical combat experience against other Soul Masters, Lin Ye had actually fought in several Soul Fighting Arenas throughout this journey.
Since he was going to Suotuo City, he naturally had to fight one or two matches at a Great Soul Arena like this.
A few days later, the two arrived in Suotuo City.
It was now six in the evening. If they ate first and then headed to the Soul Fighting Arena, they would arrive during its busiest hours.
At seven thirty, Lin Ye and Qian Renxue entered Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena.
At the same time.
Zhao Wuji led Shrek's only student who had not yet graduated, Qin Ming, into the Great Soul Arena as well.
