Hunting Tang San's Mother

Following this, Ning Rongrong felt a massive surge of medicinal power dissolving within her body. A sensation of profound comfort swept through her, and she was suddenly struck by an unprecedented feeling of ease.

Before long, Ning Rongrong finished absorbing the energy and opened her eyes.

"How do you feel?"

Ning Rongrong sensed the changes throughout her body and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Qing! My martial soul has actually risen to level 18!"

One must know that she had only just obtained her first soul ring a short while ago. This rocket-like speed of cultivation left her utterly shocked.

Chu Qing smiled. "That's not all, Ning Rongrong. Take another look at your martial soul."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong was stunned. She immediately released her martial soul, and a small, colorful pagoda appeared in her palm. She focused her gaze for a moment, then cried out in delight, "My Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda has evolved! It's become the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

Watching the cheering girl before him, Chu Qing couldn't help but smile. He couldn't resist reaching out to pat Ning Rongrong's hair. "As long as you're happy."

Facing Chu Qing's intimate gesture, Ning Rongrong's face turned beet red, and her dimples became even more adorable as her complexion shifted.

"Brother Qing, how should I ever thank you?" Ning Rongrong asked, nervously smoothing the corner of her dress.

Since entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Chu Qing had not only saved her life but had repeatedly helped her with her cultivation. Moreover, his manners were impeccable; for some reason, she truly wanted to stay by his side at all times.

Chu Qing did not realize this, instead saying foolishly, "Isn't this what a brother should do? It's nothing."

He truly felt that the young girl before him was quite cute.

Afterward, Chu Qing left Ning Rongrong's room, temporarily departing from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to begin his journey home, arriving at Holy Soul Village a few days later.

Looking at the ordinary village before him, Chu Qing took a deep breath, unable to hide his excitement!

Calculating the time, Tang San should be about ready to leave Nuoding Academy.

And Tang Hao must have certainly left to protect Tang San from the shadows, leaving the Blue Silver Emperor located behind the mountain in a state where no one would care for her!

This was the day Chu Qing had been waiting for!

Passing through the layers of wheat fields, Chu Qing silently stepped into the back of the village.

Before long, he reached the foot of the mountain. Chu Qing stopped and listened carefully, hearing the sound of a waterfall.

"This must be it, right here." Chu Qing followed the sound and soon saw a waterfall with a drop of about ten meters.

And the thing he wanted should be inside that waterfall!

This time, Chu Qing did not climb up. Instead, he tested a new feature of the Nihility Devouring Flame: spatial devouring.

He channeled his soul power, and black flames appeared, instantly tearing a hole in front of him large enough for a person to pass through. Chu Qing stepped through it.

It seems the limit for this spatial leap is thirty meters, Chu Qing mused to himself.

The distance from his previous spot to the inside of this Water Curtain Cave was exactly thirty meters; he couldn't manage even an inch more. Even so, Chu Qing felt quite exhausted.

It seems that for my third soul ring, I need to find a space-type soul beast.

Afterward, Chu Qing stepped into the cave. Due to the obstruction of the waterfall, the interior was dark and damp, with only a small sliver of sunlight filtering through the gaps.

Thanks to the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Chu Qing's eyesight was far better than an ordinary person's, and even with this faint light, it was enough to see the path ahead.

As he ventured deeper, the cave became increasingly rugged and difficult to traverse, but that rich aura of life grew heavier and heavier!

After walking for a while, Chu Qing pushed aside the vines in front of him, and a stone chamber immediately came into view.

Yes, this was it.

Chu Qing looked up and saw a gap in the upper part of the stone chamber, through which a single beam of sunlight shone. In the center of the sunlight was a patch of soil, and growing upon it was a stalk of Blue Silver Grass. However, it was different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass; it was covered in a layer of golden patterns that shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight, looking quite extraordinary.

Looking at the grass before him, Chu Qing couldn't help but think of Ah Yin's fate in the original story and sighed. "Heh, is he worth it? You sacrificed yourself, yet you were left neglected in this dark, damp cave. He claims to love you, yet he didn't think of any way to save you. You were nothing more than a tool he left for his son."

Upon hearing Chu Qing's words, the grass began to sway violently, as if it could understand him.

"Oh? You have consciousness?" Chu Qing was startled. The vitality of a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor was truly tenacious!

Thinking of this, Chu Qing continued, "Do you know what your son is like now? Under Tang Hao's upbringing, just because he discovered Tang San's secret, Tang San developed murderous intent toward his own father."

"And toward the Grandmaster who taught him, he also nearly killed him directly with hidden weapons."

"This is your son. This is the son raised by the lover you waited so bitterly for."

"Is it really worth it?"

The Blue Silver Grass swayed even more forcefully, its golden patterns flickering in and out of existence, as if it could not accept the words it was hearing.

Chu Qing smiled calmly, walked forward, and carefully took the Blue Silver Grass along with the mound of soil, placing it into his Storage Ring.

Through his experiments, he had discovered that this ring could hold living things without them dying, and it also possessed the ability to shield them from external perception. Perhaps it was an ancient artifact; it bore some complex inscriptions and did not seem to be a simple Soul Tool.

Chu Qing lowered his head and said, "Let's go, Ah Yin. I will take you away from this dark place where the sun never shines, to see the current Douluo Continent, the sunlight outside, and the life of the world."

After properly settling the Blue Silver Emperor, Chu Qing scanned the stone chamber. Before long, a protrusion on the right side of the stone wall caught his attention.

Chu Qing walked over, channeled his soul power, and pushed hard.

The sound of gears turning and mechanisms clicking echoed from within. Shortly after, a black-gold wooden box emerged.

Unable to hide his excitement, Chu Qing slowly opened the box.

Instantly, a rich aura of life enveloped the entire stone chamber! The withered ground was instantly covered in a layer of emerald green! A golden light flashed, so intense it forced Chu Qing to close his eyes.

When the light faded, he saw a blue soul bone lying inside the wooden box.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone from the Blue Silver Emperor!!!"

Chu Qing's face lit up with joy; it was finally in his hands.

"Tang San! Your mother belongs to me now!"

With that, Chu Qing placed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone into his Storage Ring. This was not the best time for refinement, so he would set it aside for now.

Following this, Chu Qing unleashed the Nihility Devouring Flame, wiping away every trace and scent of his presence in the hills behind the village until nothing remained.

Chu Qing was naturally cautious; he believed in doing things flawlessly. Besides, Tang Hao was a Title Douluo. If he were careless in concealing his aura and Tang Hao discovered him, he would surely die without a burial place.

He was no ostentatious fool!

After carefully scanning the area one last time, Chu Qing nodded in satisfaction and departed, heading toward Spirit Soul Village.
