Millennium One-Horned Azure-Scaled Python Torso Bone!

He sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing and released his martial soul.

He drew in the soul ring and refined its soul power!

Violent soul power surged into his body. Xia Mu circulated his meditation technique and began refining the soul power within him.

"The basic meditation technique is too low-level, but advanced meditation techniques are generally closely guarded secrets of great clans and sects. I'm not some lucky nobody who starts out with the Mysterious Heaven Technique. This is a real weakness for me!"

Xia Mu gritted his teeth and refined the soul ring. After a prolonged struggle, he finally absorbed and refined it, successfully advancing into a low-rank Soul Master.

"Xia Mu!"

"Hurry and test your soul power!"

Liu Yuer took out a soul power testing crystal. A dazzling white light lit up, and all three hurriedly looked over.

"Level thirteen!"

"As expected of a six-hundred-and-fifty-year Golden-Scaled Armored Beast. It actually raised your soul power by three levels!"

Xia Feng sighed in amazement from the side, feeling rather emotional as well.

"My son's first ring is better than most people's second ring. It's perfectly normal for him to have this much soul power!"

"My son earned this with his life!"

Liu Yuer said protectively, her voice full of heartache.

"I checked just now. The Golden-Scaled Armored Beast didn't produce a soul bone, but its claws and scales are both excellent materials. We can't leave them behind. They're worth several hundred gold soul coins."

Only after Xia Feng packed up the spoils did he speak.

"Let's go!"

"First, we'll return to Azurewood Town. Once we've settled our son in, the two of us can come back to hunt soul beasts!"

"Right, good son!"

"How is your first soul skill?"

Liu Yuer looked at Xia Mu and asked.

"First soul skill—Severing Jade!"

Xia Mu gripped the Light-Hiding Sword. The sword light left no shadow as he slashed out, instantly splitting a large boulder in two.

The cut through the stone was smooth as a mirror!

This strike left everyone utterly stunned.

"Where the sword's edge passes, it cleaves gold and severs jade!"

"This soul skill doubles my attack power, defense, and strength at the same time!"

Xia Mu's first soul skill came from the Golden-Scaled Armored Beast. This type of soul beast possessed both offense and defense, along with tremendous strength.

Thus, his first soul skill was exceptionally overpowered!

"A reinforcement-type soul skill?"

The couple could not help exclaiming when they heard this.

"That's right!"

Xia Mu nodded and immediately smiled.

The age limits of a Soul Master's first four soul skills were too low. Generally speaking, they should focus on reinforcement and amplification-type soul skills.

That way, even after a Soul Master cultivated to the rank of Title Douluo, they could still make use of those first four soul skills.

The royal family of the Star Luo Empire, the Dai Family, had fixed soul rings for their first three rings. Two of those three soul skills were amplification-type skills!

"Good, good, good!"

"This soul skill combines offense and defense, with additional amplification as well. This trip was not in vain!"

Xia Feng laughed, his words brimming with delight.

After finishing their soul hunt, the three returned to Azurewood Town. Once Xia Mu was settled in, the couple returned to the Gold-Iron Mountains to hunt soul beasts for themselves.

Time drifted by, and half a month passed!

"Haha~"

"Good son, we're back!"

At the Xia residence in Azurewood Town, Xia Feng's hearty voice rang out, with Liu Yuer following closely behind him.

"Father, Mother!"

"You're finally back!"

"How did it go? Did everything go smoothly?"

Xia Mu looked at his parents and asked.

With the compound bows in hand, as long as they did not venture too deeply into the Gold-Iron Mountains, their strength was enough to keep them safe.

"Smoothly, very smoothly!"

"I hunted an eight-hundred-year Mighty Gorilla, and your mother hunted a two-thousand-year One-Horned Azure-Scaled Python. We both obtained soul rings!"

Xia Feng spoke with undisguised excitement.

"A One-Horned Azure-Scaled Python?"

"Azure-Scaled Pythons have a trace of dragon blood in their bodies. This python has grown a horn on its head—it's about to evolve into a flood dragon!"

"Generally speaking, only a very small number of Azure-Scaled Pythons can evolve into Azure-Scaled Flood Dragons once they reach ten thousand years!"

"We've struck it rich this time."

Xia Mu had not been idle these past few years. He had been a frequent visitor to the library of the Azurewood Town Spirit Hall branch.

"We really did strike it rich this time."

"I found a soul bone inside the One-Horned Azure-Scaled Python, and it was even a rare torso bone!"

Xia Feng lowered his head and told Xia Mu this secret. This was their greatest harvest from the trip.

"Hiss~"

"A two-thousand-year One-Horned Azure-Scaled Python torso bone!"

"This thing would be impossible to buy even with a fortune outside. It would probably cost no less than ten million gold soul coins!"

What was a windfall from heaven?

This was a windfall from heaven!

All sorts of scenarios flashed through Xia Mu's mind. This thing was a hot potato; they had to deal with it quickly.

"Xia Mu, wealth must not be flaunted!"

"Hurry and absorb it!"

Liu Yuer took out a lead box and urged Xia Mu, only to see him shake his head firmly.

"We can't absorb this thing!"

"This soul bone's age is too low. Once soul rings and soul bones are absorbed, they can't be replaced!"

"Besides, this is a torso bone!"

Xia Mu shook his head. To be honest, he was very tempted, but for the sake of the future, he refused.

"Treasure stirs people's hearts!"

"I suggest we move!"

Xia Mu looked at his parents and laid out his plan. They could no longer stay in this place.

"Move? Where to?"

Xia Feng was deeply puzzled and asked.

"Heaven Dou City!"

"In a small place, this soul bone might be extremely rare, but Heaven Dou City is different."

"Soul bones that are ten thousand years old occasionally appear at the Heaven Dou Auction. Though this soul bone is valuable, in Heaven Dou City, it probably wouldn't even catch the eye of important figures!"

"Only by going to Heaven Dou can we turn this soul bone into money. Then we can live stable lives!"

"And don't forget, we need whale gelatin!"

"Ten-thousand-year whale gelatin isn't rare at the Heaven Dou Auction. The Seven Treasures Commerce sells it too!"

Xia Mu looked at his parents and said.

His trip to the royal city of Heaven Dou had two purposes: first, to purchase ten-thousand-year whale gelatin to improve his soul power; second, to seek the peerless immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, how to identify the immortal herbs, and how to pick them all required careful planning.

The key to breaking the impasse lay with the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan and the Break Clan. Yue Guan had not yet become a Title Douluo and was merely a high-rank Soul Sage.

Yue Guan might also know about immortal herbs, but his moods were unpredictable. Xia Mu would rather cooperate with the first two.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, these three were likely the only ones who knew how to identify and harvest immortal herbs.

As for everyone else, they would probably be completely in the dark.

"Heaven Dou City?"

"Fine!"

"Then we'll move to the royal city of Heaven Dou!"

Xia Feng nodded. The couple then went to the Spirit Hall to resign from their public posts, intending to relocate the entire family.

Azurewood Town, Spirit Hall branch!

"What?"

"You two are resigning?"

Bishop Kalman looked at Xia Feng and Liu Yuer in disbelief. The two were pillars of the branch. How could they suddenly decide to quit today?

"That's right, Kalman!"

"I won't hide it from you!"

"Recently, we've both made small breakthroughs. I advanced to level twenty, and Yuer advanced to level thirty. We've both obtained soul rings now and have been able to advance further!"

Xia Feng released his soul rings. Two yellow soul rings rose from beneath his feet, revealing his level twenty-two soul power without doubt. He had truly become a Grand Soul Master.

On the other side, Liu Yuer also released her martial soul.

Two yellow and one purple soul ring rose from beneath her feet, and her level thirty-three soul power spread through the surroundings.

"Good, good!"

"I'm happy for you both for breaking into new realms, but why do you have to leave?"

"How about this!"

"As long as you two stay, I'll appoint Xia Feng as a Yellow-Robed Chief Deacon, taking over your wife's position!"

"As for you, Liu Yuer!"

"I can recommend you to our superiors for the position of deputy branch master of the Azurewood branch. What do you think?"

Kalman truly did not want to give up. He offered his greatest sincerity, hoping to keep the two of them.
