Perhaps because it had not seen so much water in a long time, the Blue Silver Emperor was dazed for a moment. But in the next instant, its leaves began scooping up water even faster.
Seeing that the Blue Silver Emperor could still greedily drink water, Yun Chen left it alone and instead walked over to the cliffside, feeling around bit by bit.
At the same time, he activated his Golden Eyes again, carefully searching for every flaw in the rock wall.
In the original story, Tang Hao placed that Blue Silver Revival Bone inside a box, and the box should be somewhere within this cliff.
Suddenly, Yun Chen's eyes lit up. His gaze locked onto a piece of black rock that looked no different from those around it.
"This is it..."
Yun Chen stepped forward and lightly tapped the black rock. Knock, knock, knock. A hollow sound rang out. That was right—this was indeed the place.
Yun Chen suddenly clenched his right fist, pale golden Soul Power flowing over its surface. In the next instant, he threw a fierce punch. With a bang, the stone before him shattered and exploded apart.
A black hidden compartment was revealed. Yun Chen cautiously swept it once more with his Golden Eyes, and only after confirming there was no danger did he extend his right hand.
The next second, his hand was wrapped by a slender blue-gold vine. Yun Chen froze, then abruptly turned to look behind him. The Blue Silver Emperor swayed in the wind, seemingly pleading with him not to take the Soul Bone.
Yun Chen snorted coldly and forcefully broke free from the Blue Silver Emperor's restraint. His gaze turned icy as he looked at Ah Yin on the ground.
"Hmph! Do you think you're still the Blue Silver Emperor? Still that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Right now, you're no different from weeds by the roadside."
"And you think you can stop me?"
"Tang Hao is already dead. What are you worth?"
As he spoke, he ignored Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor swaying on the ground, and abruptly pulled the wooden box from the hidden compartment. Looking at the box before him, Yun Chen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement.
Before his transmigration, he had always heard people online bragging about how ten-thousand-year Soul Bones were garbage, hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones were only fit to carry their shoes, and two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones were merely average.
But after truly transmigrating here, Yun Chen was practically moved to tears. In the Heaven Dou Treasury, there were only a few ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, and they were all merely ten- or twenty-thousand-year ones, with poor quality to boot.
As for ten-thousand-year Soul Bones on the market, that went without saying. You could not even find one. They had a price but no market. Only then did Yun Chen understand what a true priceless treasure was!
The value of the fact that even Titled Douluo could not fill out a full set of Soul Bones just kept rising.
Yun Chen had simply been lucky. No matter what, he had still obtained an External Soul Bone.
Yun Chen slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box bit by bit. Inside appeared a dazzling blue-gold metal bone, a Soul Bone resembling a miniature leg bone.
Yun Chen took a deep breath and cautiously looked around. After confirming that no one was nearby, he set up a Soul Power barrier around the area.
As for those people who had been monitoring Yun Chen before?
Ahem...
At that moment, in a forest near Notting City, two figures wrapped up like rice dumplings were constantly wriggling about like silkworm cocoons.
These two were both Qian Renxue's guards in name, assigned to monitor Yun Chen—or rather, to pass intelligence to Qian Renxue.
They were both Soul King-level experts, but to Yun Chen, they were hardly worth mentioning.
Normally, it would have been fine to let you keep watch. But now that I have something important to do, there's no way I can let you follow me. So I can only trouble you to suffer a little.
Thus, Yun Chen took the initiative to reveal himself to them, beat them up, wrapped them into rice dumplings, and hung them in this small forest.
Judging by the precariously swaying ropes, the two of them would likely escape soon.
In the stone cave, Ah Yin, who had just been lying on the ground in despair, seemed to regain a sliver of hope as she watched Yun Chen busily at work. Her vines gently swayed again, touching Yun Chen.
Yun Chen frowned as he looked at Ah Yin, not knowing what she wanted.
Seeing that Yun Chen was willing to communicate, Ah Yin shook her leaves even more fiercely. She pointed at the Soul Bone, then at Yun Chen, and made a crossing gesture.
Yun Chen was so angry that he laughed. Looking at Ah Yin's wildly swaying leaves, he suddenly stepped forward, fully revealing the imposing aura of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.
Ah Yin abruptly recoiled in fear, her leaves trembling.
Yun Chen smugly raised his head. Without saying anything, he walked to the side and set up a Soul Power barrier between himself and Ah Yin, preventing her from disturbing him again.
Finally, he slowly placed the Soul Bone before him, took a deep breath, and continuously circulated the Soul Power within his body through his meridians.
He was adjusting his body, preparing to absorb this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in his best possible condition.
Yun Chen guided his Soul Power and slowly brought the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to his chest, closing his eyes.
In the next instant, a terrifying suction force came from his right leg, and the Soul Bone instantly fused with it.
A warm sensation slowly spread across Yun Chen's right leg before sinking deeper, entering his marrow and meridians. That warm current traveled from his right leg throughout his entire body, making Yun Chen feel so good that he nearly cried out.
This was a completely different experience from absorbing the overbearing Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear External Soul Bone.
While Yun Chen was still absorbing the residual energy within the Soul Bone, Ah Yin, who had already become the Blue Silver Emperor, continued to sway her leaves resentfully, like a powerless husband watching his wife...
Ahem, the Soul Bone...
Yun Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes brimming with delight.
"A Soul Bone truly is a priceless treasure, especially a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Tsk, tsk, tsk... it really is wonderful!"
One had to know that Yun Chen had only obtained his third Soul Ring not long ago and had merely just entered the Soul Elder rank. Yet this single Soul Bone—
had directly increased his Soul Power by nearly five levels, bringing him to roughly level 35.
With matters here settled, Yun Chen was in a much better mood. With a wave of his hand, he removed the Soul Power barrier. Looking at Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, who seemed somewhat withdrawn, he beckoned to her.
"Hey? Do you want to come with me and see the outside world?"
"You won't survive much longer here."
The Blue Silver Emperor's leaves stirred, but in the end, they curled into a ball. It had no desire to answer Yun Chen.
A smile tugged at Yun Chen's lips as he spoke casually.
"I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm informing you, alright?"
"Let's go."
As he spoke, Yun Chen pulled out a shovel from his storage Soul Tool and began digging with care.
The Blue Silver Emperor was startled by Yun Chen's actions. Its leaves shook frantically, slapping at him—though it felt more like scratching an itch.
Yun Chen ignored it completely, shovelful by shovelful uncovering the soil around the Blue Silver Emperor. He then pulled it up by the roots and placed it into a flowerpot he had prepared beforehand.
"Alright, stop making a fuss."
"You're only stupid because you actually thought Tang Hao truly loved you. Heh, stop dreaming. He was only after your soul ring and soul bone."
The Blue Silver Emperor, which had been struggling wildly just moments ago, froze upon hearing those words. But it quickly came back to its senses, its leaves slapping Yun Chen even more fiercely.
Clearly, the love parasite had gained the upper hand again.
