Night fell, and the lights of Spirit City gradually flickered to life one by one.
Huang Yun arrived at Dugu Yan's room as promised.
The door was ajar. He pushed it open and walked inside. Dugu Yan was sitting on a chair by the window, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands. Her dark green hair cascaded loose behind her shoulders. Moonlight poured in from outside the window, casting a silver halo over her body.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her head and glanced at him. Her complexion was slightly flushed, but her gaze was calm.
"You're here."
Huang Yun walked over to her side and sat down. He retrieved a bone fragment, completely crystalline throughout, from his storage ring and handed it to her.
The bone fragment was about the size of a palm, entirely pale silver in color. Fine, intricate patterns flowed across its surface, radiating a warm, gentle fluctuation of mental power.
This was the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull from the championship rewards, a mental-attribute spirit bone of over fifty thousand years.
"This spirit bone is a mental-attribute skull of over fifty thousand years." Huang Yun placed the bone fragment in her palm. "It will have a supplementary effect on your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. Find an opportunity to absorb it after you go back, and it will be able to elevate your mental power. Coupled with the resources of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, your cultivation speed will be even faster."
Dugu Yan looked down at the spirit bone in her palm, feeling the fluctuation of mental power contained within it, and fell silent for a few breaths.
"Thank you." Her voice was very soft.
Huang Yun waved a hand. "You don't need to be so polite with me."
