Copying Xiao Wu, Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone!

Xia Yuan wanted to follow the clues and search for the Blue Silver Emperor, so he had to seize this opening.

A year later, in the back mountains of Notting Academy.

Xia Yuan finished absorbing the Purple Qi from the East and slowly exhaled.

Over the past year, he cultivated the Purple Demon Eye at dawn, studied Martial Soul knowledge in the morning, and meditated in the afternoon and at night. He had now reached level twenty Soul Power.

As for Empty Handed, he used it on Xiao Wu or Tang San every day, occasionally trying it on Grandmaster as well to see whether he could still get any Gold Soul Coins out of him.

Yet throughout the entire year, Lucky Critical Hit had only triggered a handful of times.

The first Lucky Critical Hit stole one level of Soul Power from Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu also directly lost one level of Soul Power, and Tang San spent the entire day being used as Xiao Wu's punching bag.

The second Lucky Critical Hit stole one level of Soul Power from Yu Xiaogang. At first, Yu Xiaogang had been overjoyed, believing a turning point had finally come for him.

But once he confirmed that he had simply lost one level of Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang immediately went mad.

Because those two Lucky Critical Hits had given him two additional levels of Soul Power, Xia Yuan had actually reached level twenty Soul Power long ago.

However, since he had yet to obtain his second Soul Ring, the two levels of Soul Power gained from his subsequent cultivation had accumulated and would only show their effects after he obtained the second Soul Ring.

Later Lucky Critical Hits gave Xia Yuan the secret Spirit Hall texts that Bibi Dong had once shown Yu Xiaogang while he was at Spirit Hall, including cultivation methods for advanced meditation techniques.

Soul Masters cultivated through meditation. The higher one's Innate Soul Power, the faster one cultivated through meditation.

Ordinary meditation techniques only allowed Soul Masters to circulate their Soul Power in a simple manner.

But the advanced meditation techniques possessed by Spirit Hall could, like Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, increase cultivation speed by planning circulation routes.

"Today is the last day before I leave. If I still don't get it this time, I can only give up for now."

Xia Yuan let out a faint sigh.

Perhaps he would only be able to steal the Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone from Tang San after Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to him.

When he returned to the dormitory, Tang San and Xiao Wu seemed to be discussing something.

The moment they saw Xia Yuan enter, both of them fell silent.

Other than cultivating, eating, and sleeping, Xia Yuan had done nothing else over the past six months, nor did he interact much with the other students.

Sometimes, even Tang San wondered whether he himself was not working hard enough.

Xia Yuan sat on his bed and began packing his things.

He had already applied to Dean of Notting to graduate. Once he left this time, he would not return.

At the same time, he secretly began using Empty Handed on Xiao Wu.

[Using Empty Handed on target Xiao Wu...]

[Empty Handed judgment in progress... Judgment successful!]

[Congratulations! Lucky Critical Hit triggered!]

Xia Yuan's hands paused.

[Copying Xiao Wu this time obtained: Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone (choice of body part)!]

It could really yield a Soul Bone?

Xia Yuan secretly glanced at Xiao Wu. She showed no abnormalities whatsoever.

After returning this time, Xia Yuan would take advantage of Tang Hao's absence to search for the hidden Blue Silver Emperor and the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

Before that, however, he still needed to visit Old Jack.

After all, following the deaths of his parents, Old Jack had helped him greatly.

Moreover, he needed to leave traces of his whereabouts with Old Jack.

Once he had packed his bundle, Xia Yuan did not linger in the slightest and immediately left Notting City.

Holy Soul Village.

"Grandpa Jack."

Hearing the voice from outside, Old Jack's eyes lit up.

"Is Xia Yuan back?"

He walked outside and immediately saw Xia Yuan, who had grown a little taller.

"Grandpa Jack, I've already graduated from Notting Academy," Xia Yuan said first.

"I came back this time to tell you that I'll be enrolling in an intermediate academy in a major city. I might not return often in the future."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan pulled out the things he had brought for Old Jack from his bundle.

"Good, good." Old Jack's eyes reddened. "Good child."

"By the way, where's Xiao San? Didn't he come back with you?"

"No. I applied for graduation early and came back first." Xia Yuan shook his head.

After chatting with Old Jack for a while, Xia Yuan left Holy Soul Village.

There was nothing in his home in Holy Soul Village that he needed to take. Instead, he left his bedding and other belongings there.

After all, he would need to travel light afterward. If he lacked anything, he could simply buy it.

Over the past year, aside from receiving Spirit Hall's subsidy, he had obtained many Gold Soul Coins from Tang San and Xiao Wu using Empty Handed, as well as the hidden weapons forged by Tang San.

According to the map's guidance, the place where Tang Hao had hidden the Blue Silver Emperor and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was in a mountain range within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Holy Soul Village had only a small hill, which Tang San climbed every day to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye.

Xia Yuan had thought that although Tang Hao would not hide the Blue Silver Emperor and Soul Bone there, he should have hidden them somewhere closer to Holy Soul Village.

Yet in truth, while that mountain range was not extremely far from Holy Soul Village, it could by no means be called very close.

While Tang Hao's attention was still wholly fixed on Tang San, now was the best time to retrieve the Blue Silver Emperor and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

More than ten days later, Xia Yuan looked at the rolling mountain range before him.

This mountain range was far beyond the back mountains of Holy Soul Village and Notting Academy that Xia Yuan had seen before. Its towering peaks even pierced the clouds, impossible to see through.

Xia Yuan took a deep breath.

The waterfall and pool concealing the Blue Silver Emperor lay within these mountains. He had to cross several peaks before he could find it.

Fortunately, Xia Yuan's physique was now powerful, and he possessed one percent of Tang Hao's strength. Crossing a few mountains was not much of a challenge.

After spending two days reaching the heart of the mountain range, Xia Yuan heard the roaring sound of water.

His spirits rose. "I finally found it!"

It was a valley, with a massive pool at its bottom and a waterfall plunging down from above, sending sprays of water flying.

Xia Yuan did not approach immediately. Instead, he first activated his Purple Demon Eye and looked as far as he could.

The pool was empty. Other than the thunderous roar of the falling waterfall, everything was peaceful.

Xia Yuan took out the Flying God Claw he had gotten from Tang San using Empty Handed and arrived beneath the waterfall.

The Flying God Claw shot out fiercely, hooking onto a rock behind the waterfall and pulling Xia Yuan's body into its depths.

Tang Hao had not only hidden the Blue Silver Emperor within this mountain range; he had even set up a mechanism.

If one did not know about this mechanism, then even if someone came here, they would not be able to find the Blue Silver Emperor.

His schemes were truly deep.

But for Xia Yuan, who now possessed the Purple Demon Eye, finding the mechanism was not particularly difficult.

After feeling around for only a short while, he found a rock that appeared perfectly seamless. With a light press, a doorway directly appeared.
