This "Small Matter" Was Not Worth Mentioning Compared to a Spirit Bone!

Elsewhere.

Yu Tianqing and the others left the Star Dou Forest and set off back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Along the way.

Yu Tianqing looked at Yu Changge and said, "Son, you've already obtained your First Soul Ring. You're far ahead of Yu Xiaogang."

"And Elder Yu's intention is for you not to reveal that you've become a Soul Master after returning."

"Perhaps, being children, you were mocked by others in the clan before. Now that you've become a Soul Master, you might want to regain some face as soon as possible."

"But my advice is that it's best to keep it hidden. After all, your Martial Soul is the same as Yu Xiaogang's. Now that Xiao Huang has successfully evolved, it's like he'll be crossing the river by stepping on you."

Yu Shuyao, beside him, also chimed in, "That's right. And your relationship with Yu Xiaogang can't exactly be called good. Fortunately for him, he has a good father."

"Once he learns that you've become a Soul Master, if he can't get answers from you, might he ask the Clan Head to pressure us? We may belong to the same clan, but that doesn't mean we should tell them everything."

Though they too bore the surname Yu and were part of the clan.

In terms of blood relation, they had long since passed beyond the fifth degree of kinship from Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang.

If not for sharing the same Martial Soul and belonging to the same clan, they could have been described as strangers who merely shared a surname.

Furthermore, the clan had shown kindness to Yu Tianqing and his wife, but not to their son.

The resources their son needed at the beginning after his Martial Soul awakened had all been paid for by the two of them. Even Elder Yu's theoretical lessons had not been the "compulsory education" sent by the clan.

It was only because Elder Yu and Yu Tianqing were fairly close, and later, he and Yu Changge had formed a master-disciple relationship.

The cultivation resources later provided on the same level as Yu Xiaogang's had also been exchanged for Whale Rubber.

And Whale Rubber was of great significance to the clan. It had more than repaid the clan's previous investment in their family.

Thus, after Elder Yu made the suggestion, Yu Tianqing and his wife thought it over for a long time. Neither of them would blindly devote themselves or become slaves to the sect.

After all, though they were direct-line disciples, they were not part of the true inner circle—the Soul Douluos. Neither of them possessed even a single Spirit Bone.

Naturally, their view was that their son came first, and the sect came after.

Yu Changge nodded. "Then I'll listen to you, Dad, Mom. What are you planning to do?"

Yu Tianqing smiled. "Aren't you interested in theory? When the time comes, we'll find a way to send you to Spirit Hall for study."

"Spirit Hall has far more theoretical records than the clan. After all, most Soul Masters in the clan possess the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, so most of its records concern Lightning Attribute soul beasts. There are also records on soul beasts of other attributes, but comparatively speaking, far fewer."

"And Xiao Huang will need to absorb all sorts of Light Attribute Sub-Dragon soul beasts later on. The Qian Clan's Martial Soul in Spirit Hall is the Six-Winged Angel, and they likewise absorb soul beasts with sacred light attributes."

"So they have far more records on them. That place is best suited for you."

"Once you've gone to Spirit Hall, you'll also be able to focus on cultivation. By then, there'll be a delay before the clan learns of your strength."

Yu Shuyao said with some concern, "But there's one thing I'm worried about. Didn't we encounter Qian Xunji today?"

"He and that Bibi Dong have already seen Changge's strength. If Changge is to enter Spirit Hall smoothly later, he'll certainly be investigated in secret."

"What if... Spirit Hall reveals Changge's cultivation to the clan?"

Yu Tianqing shook his head. "I don't think Qian Xunji will tell anyone about this."

"I hear that after Qian Xunji took office, he was determined to manage Spirit Hall properly and bring it to new heights. Even if he knows about matters within the clan, he most likely won't gossip about them."

"He may even take some interest in Changge. That's human nature."

Yu Tianqing paused, then added, "Of course, even if things develop in the worst possible direction, it would only mean Changge's Soul Master cultivation is exposed. That's no big deal."

"We were lucky to encounter such an exceptional Light Attribute Sub-Dragon soul beast today. If it had been Yu Xiaogang, that might not have been the case."

Half a month later, Yu Changge and the others returned to the clan.

On the journey back, the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon's corpse had long since been completely absorbed by Xiao Huang.

And while meditating, he discovered that his cultivation speed was somewhat faster than before he had absorbed the Soul Ring.

If his normal cultivation speed had been Innate Half-Level Soul Power, then after adding the First Soul Ring and Xiao Huang's evolution, it had become Innate Level Two Soul Power.

Though it was still rather slow, it had at least become faster. Moreover, the age limit of Sub-Dragon meat Xiao Huang could consume was now higher, so the feedback would naturally be greater as well.

A few days after returning to the clan.

Yu Tianqing went to find Yu Yuanzhen.

Inside the council hall.

Yu Tianqing respectfully said to Yu Yuanzhen, "Clan Head, I have something I'd like to ask you to help with. It concerns my son."

Yu Yuanzhen was somewhat surprised. "What is it?"

Yu Tianqing said, "I'd like to ask you to obtain a set of records concerning herbal knowledge across Douluo Continent from Spirit Hall, the Breaking Clan, and the Dugu Family."

"You also know that my son has Innate Half-Level Soul Power. If he wants to break through, he'll need a great deal of resources—external aids. That means he needs to understand all kinds of herbs."

"And the clan has far too little knowledge in this area, so..."

Yu Tianqing looked at Yu Yuanzhen with an expression of "difficulty." "Consider it Changge's final request for discovering the effects of Whale Rubber Body Tempering. As for the Spirit Bone we discussed before, I know that would be too difficult for the clan, so let's forget it."

Yu Yuanzhen had originally been somewhat hesitant. With his standing, the Breaking Clan and the Dugu Family would most likely comply.

But Spirit Hall might not.

Unless he used that token.

But using the Honorary Elder Token for a junior of the clan made him feel it was somewhat not worth it.

After all, although the Honorary Elder Token had no limit on the number of times it could be used, once it was used, if Spirit Hall later needed help from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it would be difficult to refuse.

But then again, compared with a Spirit Bone, this "small matter" was not worth mentioning.

He merely needed to ask Spirit Hall for a few records. At worst, he could have Yu Changge study at Spirit Hall for a while.

Yu Changge's talent was right there. After studying at Spirit Hall, he could later become a theoretical scholar in the clan, which would clearly benefit the clan as well.

After considering it inwardly, Yu Yuanzhen replied, "Very well. I'll write letters now and send people to visit each of the three places you mentioned."

P.S.: During this trial period, I'm begging you all not to stockpile the chapters! If there's anything written incorrectly, feel free to point it out. If I can fix it, I will.
