True Dragon Soul Core, Ancient Dragon Pill!

"Fifth Soul Skill—Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect!"

Countless Dragon-Pattern Swords materialized in the sky, carrying terrifying sword qi as they slashed down at a Mighty Vajra Bear.

Where the sword light passed, all life was extinguished!

Below, a Mighty Vajra Bear of around twenty thousand years was resisting with all its might. It was the hunting target Liu Yuer and Xia Feng had chosen!

"Roar—"

This strike heavily injured the Mighty Vajra Bear. The soul skill produced by the twenty-thousand-year Ironfeather Sword Eagle was outrageously powerful; even a Mighty Vajra Bear could not withstand it!

"Yuer, careful!"

"That thing is making one last desperate counterattack!"

Below, Xia Feng was fighting the Mighty Vajra Bear with bloodshot eyes. Earlier, this Mighty Vajra Bear had already taken a hit from Liu Yuer's Sword-Qi River!

After absorbing the soul ring of the twenty-thousand-year Ironfeather Sword Eagle, Liu Yuer's soul power had directly reached level fifty-three.

Two levels of soul power came from the Ironfeather Sword Eagle's soul ring, while one level came from her external soul bone.

A Soul King could already contend with a ten-thousand-year soul beast!

Not to mention that Liu Yuer possessed a twenty-thousand-year external soul bone and a thirty-thousand-year left arm bone. Her actual combat strength was nearly comparable to that of a low-level Soul Emperor.

"Roar—"

A beam of golden light flew from the Mighty Vajra Bear's mouth. This was its only long-range attack method.

Liu Yuer's appearance had directly pronounced the Mighty Vajra Bear's death sentence. Relying on their high mobility, the husband and wife worked together and slowly ground this soul beast to death!

"Sword Wings—Protect!"

The sword wings closed together, blocking the attack.

"Damn it!"

"Bloodthirsty Berserk Hurricane Right Leg Bone, activate!"

Seeing his wife attacked, Xia Feng fell into a frenzy and directly activated the soul bone skill in his right leg!

The effect of a forty-thousand-year soul bone skill was exceptionally powerful!

In an instant, Xia Feng's strength surged, and his overall combat power nearly doubled.

"First Soul Skill—Thousand-Jin Force!"

"Second Soul Skill—Force Amplification!"

"Third Soul Skill—Unyielding Iron Bones!"

"Fourth Soul Skill—Bull Demon Power Fist!"

Four soul rings rose beneath Xia Feng's feet and lit up almost simultaneously. His body shot forward as he launched an assault on the Mighty Vajra Bear.

The Mighty Vajra Bear was affected by the stiffening effect of the soul skill, caught at the moment when its old strength had been spent but new strength had yet to arise!

A terrifying Earth Demon Bull appeared behind Xia Feng. His fist wind was like steel, carrying berserk battle intent.

"Boom—"

With one strike, the Mighty Vajra Bear's enormous body crashed to the ground. Before dying, it looked unwillingly toward the sky.

The Mighty Vajra Bear's strength was enough to rival an ordinary Soul Emperor, yet it had died at the hands of a Soul King and a quasi-Soul King. What irony!

A pitch-black soul ring slowly condensed above the Mighty Vajra Bear's body, and terrifying soul power fluctuations spread in all directions.

"We did it!"

Liu Yuer descended. Xia Mu, standing nearby, also deactivated his second soul skill, and the two said in tacit unison,

"Old Xia!"

"This time, it all depends on you!"

"Remember to guard your mind and refine the soul power!"

Liu Yuer was somewhat worried that the spiritual shock from a ten-thousand-year soul ring would affect Xia Feng.

"Don't worry!"

"As long as I guard my mind while refining the soul ring, a mere spiritual shock won't be able to do anything to me!"

Xia Feng patted his chest and said cheerfully.

The spiritual shock of a soul ring seemed impossible to deal with, but in truth, it was merely rootless water.

As long as a soul master guarded their mind and refined the soul power within the soul ring, they could endure that period through sheer persistence.

As one side waned and the other grew, the scales of victory would gradually tip toward the human soul master. That was their innate advantage!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

Xia Feng released his martial soul and began absorbing the soul ring.

Terrifying soul power rippled outward. Liu Yuer stood guard beside him, her face filled with worry.

Boom—

Xia Feng's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp. After a fierce struggle, he finally emerged victorious.

"Fifth Soul Skill—Indestructible Vajra Body!"

A glazed golden light shot into the sky, dyeing Xia Feng's entire body amber. He turned into a little golden man, utterly indestructible.

"What an absurdly powerful soul skill!"

"As long as the protective golden light remains, it grants the effect of an Indestructible Vajra Body. Blades and swords cannot harm me, water and fire cannot affect me, and it can also greatly increase my own strength."

Having transformed into a little golden man, Xia Feng said this to the two of them.

"Indestructible Vajra Body!"

"A low-grade version of an Immortal Golden Body?"

Seeing this, Xia Feng could not help muttering.

"Good, good, good!"

"As long as you're safe, that's all that matters!"

The two collected the Mighty Vajra Bear's corpse before leaving Sunset Forest together with Xia Mu.

Heaven Dou City, Xia Family.

"The paws of a Mighty Vajra Bear are a rare delicacy. A single bear paw can sell for thousands of gold soul coins, and its gallbladder is also a precious medicinal ingredient!"

"Mighty Vajra Bear fur is also quite popular on the market. It'll be perfect for making your mother a few fur coats!"

"Fur coats made from this stuff are not only very warm, but also beautiful—very elegant and high-class!"

Xia Feng and Xia Mu were sorting through the spoils from this soul beast hunt: the remains of two ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Unfortunately, no ten-thousand-year soul bones had been produced!

Still, that was understandable. After all, the Ironfeather Sword Eagle and Mighty Vajra Bear were only high-level soul beasts.

Under normal circumstances, mutated soul beasts and top-tier soul beasts had a higher chance of producing soul bones than ordinary soul beasts.

Soul bones were rare. That was an ironclad rule!

According to legend, soul bones were formed from the soul cores within soul beasts. Ordinary soul beasts found it difficult to possess such qualifications.

"Dad!"

"Heaven Dou City's winters aren't that cold!"

"And Mom probably won't like a golden fur coat. It doesn't suit her temperament either!"

Xia Mu said faintly from the side.

"You brat!"

"It's the thought that counts!"

"Come with me to the Heaven Dou Auction later. We can sell everything we have on hand!"

"The gallbladder of a twenty-thousand-year Mighty Vajra Bear is a fifth-grade spiritual medicine. This thing can fetch quite a bit of money!"

"Add in the Ironfeather Sword Eagle's feathers and the Mighty Vajra Bear's claws, and we can make another small profit."

"All together, this haul should be worth around three hundred thousand gold soul coins. If we come across suitable Whale Glue, we can buy a few more pieces!"

Xia Feng carefully calculated their gains. They had been living off their savings these past few years, and it had not been easy to get such an income.

Three hundred thousand gold soul coins was not much, but even a mosquito leg was still meat. This money could buy quite a lot of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue!

"All right!"

Xia Mu nodded and agreed.

The two kept the bear paws and bear fur, then set off for the Heaven Dou Auction to sell the rest of their spoils.

Heaven Dou Auction.

"The gallbladder of a twenty-thousand-year Mighty Vajra Bear?"

"Not bad, not bad. This is a fifth-grade spiritual medicine, with a starting price of around one hundred thousand gold soul coins."

"As for these items!"

"Their bundled price is around ten thousand gold soul coins!"

The price was about the same as Xia Feng had estimated. Among these items, only the bear gallbladder was worth much.

As for the other spoils, they were merely extras!

"Distinguished guests!"

"Welcome to the Heaven Dou Auction!"

"Allow me to introduce today's first finale item: a Dragon Pill from an ancient ruin. Distinguished guests, do not miss it!"

"Starting price: one million gold soul coins!"

The auctioneer's voice rang out, and everyone below the stage was astonished. It was their first time seeing a Dragon Pill.

"A Dragon Pill!"

"What is that?"

No one knew what a Dragon Pill was. It was the soul core of a true dragon, somewhat similar to the core bead of an exotic beast!

"Dad, get it!"

"That's a good item!"

Xia Mu quickly spoke up, signaling Xia Feng to bid.
