Twin Hands Ability, Soul Bone Modification!

Heaven Dou, Prince Xue Xing's Residence

"Xue Beng, Uncle has to go out for a while. Stay home and cultivate properly. Don't go running off to your big brother's place for no reason." Prince Xue Xing gently stroked Xue Beng's little head as he instructed him.

"Mm." Xue Beng nodded repeatedly and obediently said, "Uncle, I'm already level 15! Everyone says my talent is astonishing."

"Uh... alright." For a moment, Prince Xue Xing did not know what to say.

Level 15 at nine years old was actually quite decent talent. It was just that he had spent a little too much time around Lin Ya. A nine-year-old at level 15 simply failed to interest him much.

"Oh, right. This is for you." Prince Xue Xing handed a booklet to Xue Beng. When Xue Beng took it and looked, three large words were written across its cover—Golden Light Mantra.

Xue Beng could not help asking, "Uncle, this is..."

"This is a cultivation method passed down through the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. It is righteous and balanced, strengthens the body, and comes with a soul skill. Remember, burn it after reading it. It must never be passed on!"

The Golden Light Mantra had naturally been given by Lin Ya. Unlike the continent-version ones he had given Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng, this was the genuine Golden Light Mantra.

However, without an Outcast martial soul, one could not comprehend it on one's own. Others could only learn it bit by bit if they wanted to cultivate it.

Lin Ya had never cultivated the Golden Light Mantra, but as his soul power rose, he was now able to release golden light externally or control it into various forms.

If Xue Beng wanted to learn the Golden Light Mantra, though, he could only keep his head down and train hard, progressing slowly.

Even so, with the Golden Light Mantra as a cultivation method, Xue Beng's cultivation speed would certainly improve. At the very least, he would become a little genius qualified to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

"But Uncle, didn't you tell me that I should hide my abilities?"

"That was before!" Xue Xing suddenly became confident. "Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has already decided to take you as his disciple. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protecting you, there's no need for you to hide anymore."

Of course, Xue Xing left half a sentence unsaid: ...there really wasn't much for you to hide anyway.

What little you had was far inferior to your younger brother's.

"Little monster, what are you tinkering with?" Dugu Bo curiously watched Lin Ya, who had been fiddling with a strange furnace with his head lowered the whole time.

Lin Ya wiped the soot from his face, then proudly said, "The Self-Cultivation Furnace. The future of the Douluo Continent depends on it!"

"Hahaha! The future of the Douluo Continent? You really do talk big, kid." Dugu Bo did not take Lin Ya's words seriously at all.

Lin Ya did not argue. Facts spoke louder than words. Once he finished the Self-Cultivation Furnace, this old poisoner would definitely be in for a shock!

Dugu Bo suddenly said, "I'm going back to Heaven Dou to bring my granddaughter here. You should be able to cure the poison in her body too, right?"

"What level is her soul power?"

"Level 18. She just turned eleven this year." Dugu Bo said rather proudly.

Level 18 at eleven years old meant she would be at least level 21 by the time she graduated from a junior academy at twelve. That alone would be enough for her to graduate directly from an intermediate academy. Saying she had the potential to become a Titled Douluo would not be an exaggeration at all.

Then Dugu Bo could no longer feel proud. He remembered the level of the little monster before him.

Over the past few days together, he had also learned Lin Ya's true age.

Nine years old! Level 32! When the hell had the Douluo Continent ever produced such a genius?!

Ignoring Dugu Bo's gaze, Lin Ya nodded and said, "No problem. Her poisoning definitely isn't as severe as yours, and her level is low, so it'll be easier to handle. If you can get her a soul bone, I can settle it in a few days."

"A soul bone? When Xue Xing came to find me, he said Heaven Dou owed me a favor. It wouldn't be too much to exchange that favor for a soul bone, would it?" Dugu Bo thought.

Naturally, it would be impossible to trade for an exceptionally good soul bone, but getting one that was several thousand years old should be quite easy.

"Oh, right." Lin Ya suddenly recalled something important. He pulled a small booklet from his robes and handed it to Dugu Bo. "You promised me three things. For the first one, bring me these herbs according to the methods written in the booklet. That shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Herbs? Do you realize you've wasted one of your wishes?" Dugu Bo disdainfully took the booklet. Lin Ya had drawn it himself, complete with illustrations and descriptions. Even an idiot could understand it.

"Strange Velvet Heaven Chrysanthemum, Yearning Heartbreak Red, Black Jade Divine Bamboo, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Primordial Immortal Herb, Snow-White Swan Kiss... Just these things? My herb garden has all of them! Hahaha, you really did waste a wish."

Mm, Dugu Bo was as incapable of recognizing treasures as ever.

"I suggest you keep the seeds when picking them. That way, they can be cultivated sustainably in the future."

"I know, I know. Do you really need to remind me about something like that?" Dugu Bo said indifferently. Then his figure flashed, and he rushed toward Heaven Dou City.

Only after seeing Dugu Bo leave did Lin Ya continue studying the Self-Cultivation Furnace before him.

"The outer shell is completely finished, but what am I supposed to do about the most important core?"

Besides the outer shell made with Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, the most important part of the Self-Cultivation Furnace was the core created with Twin Hands.

Lin Ya possessed Twin Hands, so making a core was not a problem. But the issue was... Lin Ya was a man!

In Under One Person, Qu Tong's core had grown out little by little. As a man, he did not have that function!

Could it be...

"No, no! Lin Ya, Lin Ya! What are you thinking?!" Lin Ya shook his head, tossing the unspeakable image from his mind.

"Since the core needs a part of my body, can't I just use my flesh directly?"

Cutting through the mess with a quick blade, Lin Ya thought as he immediately transformed golden light into a sharp blade!

Slash!

With a flash of light, Lin Ya directly chopped off one of his own hands!

"Fuck! My right hand—I use it to eat and hold knives!!"

Lin Ya shouted, then hurriedly used Twin Hands to regenerate the severed limb and restore his right hand.

While using Twin Hands to reconstruct his severed old hand, he said in a low voice, "Keep a close eye on this furnace from now on. Don't let anyone smash it. I don't want to do this all over again!"

Having said that, Lin Ya directly tossed the modified core into the Self-Cultivation Furnace.

Buzz!

In an instant, the Self-Cultivation Furnace emanated an ancient, mystical aura. Lin Ya could feel that it had now been fully completed, becoming an artifact capable of defying fate and changing one's destiny!

"It worked!" Lin Ya gazed at the Self-Cultivation Furnace before him in delight. He could hardly wait to see ordinary Soul Masters soar to greatness under its effects!

"Liu Huang, Xiao Shi, Mu Tan, Bai Tang, you..." Lin Ya had just been about to call in his four trusted subordinates when he suddenly remembered something.

"Having real people try it right away would be bad if something went wrong. But if not real people, then what should I use?"

Lin Ya never screwed over his own people, so he considered whether he should catch a few white mice first for testing. But in the next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"What's so great about white mice? I still have this!"

Lin Ya hurriedly took out a spirit bone glowing with a dark golden radiance from his soul tool.

"Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear Right Arm Bone! You're the one!"
