Blue Silver Emperor

Jiang Lin realized this and immediately felt it was a bit troublesome.

Forget it, he would keep her for now and kill her when he needed to.

Thinking this way, Jiang Lin stopped focusing his attention on Xiao Wu.

"Keep her for now, deal with her when needed."

Jiang Lin took a bottle of pills out of his storage Soul Tool; it was naturally the Soul Refining Pill he had just purchased.

He opened the stopper, poured one out, and handed it to Elder Chen.

"Elder Chen, try this."

"This is?"

As the refreshing fragrance of the pill wafted out, Elder Chen's originally listless eyes snapped open.

"A pill that can increase cultivation speed. Try it and see how long the medicinal effect lasts for you."

Elder Chen took the pill, swallowed it directly, and began to meditate.

About a quarter of an hour later, Elder Chen stopped and spoke with a hint of regret:

"The effect is quite good; the soul power gained from meditation increased twofold, but a quarter of an hour is a bit short."

Jiang Lin nodded. It seemed this item was exactly as the system described; regardless of one's cultivation level, the boost was fixed.

Since it could last a quarter of an hour for a Title Douluo, it would definitely be enough for Jiang Lin, a level 33 Soul Elder.

Just then, the bound Xiao Wu woke up in a daze.

The two men in the courtyard turned their gazes toward her simultaneously.

Xiao Wu's groggy brain had just started working again, but as her vision swept across the surrounding environment, her head went boom, and it nearly shut down again.

When Elder Chen had grabbed her, his movements were clean and efficient.

Before Xiao Wu even knew what had happened, he had knocked her out and brought her back.

Now awake and realizing she had been kidnapped, Xiao Wu had only one thought in her mind.

It's over!

After transforming into a human and coming to the human world, the thing Xiao Wu feared most was encountering powerful humans and having them discover her identity as a soul beast.

In this situation, the only explanation her not-so-bright brain could come up with was that she had been discovered.

"Who... who are you people? Why did you kidnap me!"

Xiao Wu's tone trembled, but she still tried to put on a brave front.

What if? What if she had guessed wrong?

"This isn't a kidnapping."

Jiang Lin's calm voice reached Xiao Wu's ears, making her tense up, her heart instantly leaping into her throat.

"This is a capture."

Xiao Wu's heart, which had just leaped, instantly died.

Beyond fear, feelings of regret and hatred surged within her.

Jiang Lin ignored Xiao Wu's hostile glare, instead pondering another question.

Would this creature starve herself to death just to prevent me from obtaining her soul ring?

But thinking back on Xiao Wu's behavior in the original story, he felt she probably didn't have the guts.

Still, Jiang Lin remained cautious.

"Elder Chen, please keep an eye on her."

"Rest assured, with me watching, this rabbit can't do anything."

Listening to their conversation, the light in Xiao Wu's lively eyes completely vanished.

"Why? I never offended you! Is it just because I'm a soul beast? Do soul beasts deserve to die?"

Xiao Wu shouted at Jiang Lin with resentment.

Hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but sneer. Being able to ask such a question truly showed how ridiculous her intelligence was.

Jiang Lin felt not a shred of pity for her. After consuming a pill, he returned to his room to cultivate, leaving behind a single sentence:

"Heh, if soul beasts don't die, should I die instead? I can't be bothered to reason with you; you aren't worthy of listening!"

"Damn you, you will face retribution! My soul ring isn't something so easily absorbed!"

Seeing Jiang Lin treat her this way, Xiao Wu's face flushed red.

"You evil humans, you all..."

Before Xiao Wu could finish her sentence, Elder Chen casually knocked her unconscious, picked her up, and headed toward a secret chamber.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Two days, half the effective duration of the Soul Refining Pill for Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin felt the remaining half of the medicinal power within his body, yet he stopped his meditation.

Tang San should have already gone to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first soul ring.

Although the original work did not explicitly state that Tang Hao followed him, given the importance Tang Hao placed on Tang San, there was a high probability he would have gone along.

Grandmaster, after all, was only a level 29 Soul Grand Master.

Nuoding City was not far from Holy Soul Village.

Under the guidance of Elder Chen, the two soon arrived in the vicinity of Holy Soul Village.

The plaque at the village entrance bore the three characters "Holy Soul Village," and the iconic "handprint" remained on a stone tablet not far away.

The two first entered the village, and after confirming once more that Tang Hao had already left, they headed straight toward the surrounding area to search.

The two quickly found a place that met their requirements.

Appearing before them was a range of rolling mountains.

From their current position, it was impossible to see the entirety of the mountain range, but even the outermost peaks pierced into the clouds at their summits.

The two exchanged a glance, and Elder Chen carried Jiang Lin as they flew into the mountains.

After flying for another half an hour, Jiang Lin suddenly heard a series of rumbling sounds in his ears.

The air also became humid.

Almost there!

As they continued forward, the roaring grew louder, the air became increasingly moist, and even the temperature dropped a few degrees compared to the outside.

This was a valley, or more accurately, a pool of water.

The pool water was crystal clear, tranquil and deep, resembling a massive sapphire.

A waterfall about twenty meters wide hung like a jade belt across a cliff nearly two hundred meters high; the thunderous sound was precisely what it produced as it crashed into the pool.

The waterfall cascaded down, striking the pool and splashing countless droplets; under the sunlight, a seven-colored rainbow spanned the pool, indescribably magnificent.

As soon as Jiang Lin arrived, a cool, refreshing mist hit his face.

The humid air was invigorating and exceptionally comfortable.

Surrounded by mountains and lush greenery, with the rippling sapphire pool before him and the magnificent waterfall connecting heaven and earth, the beauty of it all left Jiang Lin momentarily dazed.

No wonder that guy Tang Hao would place Ah Yin here.

It looked full of vibrant life force.

But there was one thing: while the life force here was rich, it was inside a cave, devoid of sunlight. Even with such abundant life force, Ah Yin couldn't have been very comfortable, right?

Shaking his head, Jiang Lin stopped dwelling on such irrelevant thoughts.

"It's that waterfall, Elder Chen, let's go in."

Elder Chen nodded, and clutching Jiang Lin, he flew toward the waterfall.

After searching for a while, they indeed found a cave hidden behind the waterfall.

Although it was concealed by a mechanism, under the deliberate search of a Title Douluo, it was found quite easily.

Tsk, it's a good thing I brought Elder Chen along. Otherwise, if it were just me, let alone getting inside, just enduring that massive waterfall to find the mechanism would have been enough to give me a hard time.

This left Jiang Lin in deep thought: how did some of his transmigrator predecessors manage to cross the mountains, withstand the waterfall, find the mechanism, and enter when they were only six or seven years old?

The cave was very damp, about three meters high and two meters wide, extending inward.

After putting Jiang Lin down, Elder Chen made a casual grasping motion, and a cluster of flames appeared in his hand, illuminating the path ahead.

Walking to the very end, the surroundings suddenly brightened. Looking up, a stone aperture appeared at the top of the cave wall, and here was a stone chamber of only about ten square meters.

The stone chamber had no furnishings and was empty, but directly beneath the stone aperture above, there was a small mound of earth, and upon that mound, a slender Blue Silver Grass swayed in the breeze.

The Blue Silver Grass looked longer than ordinary blades of grass, and most uniquely, it bore golden veins on its leaves.

Blue Silver Emperor!
