On the third day after leaving the Nether Wasteland, Huang Yun stopped to rest at a tea stall in a border town. As he drank cold tea, he rummaged through his storage ring and took stock of what he had gained on this trip.

Dragon Crystal, a Tailbone Soul Bone, six Dragon Bones, over three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, several pieces of ore, and a pile of miscellaneous junk.

There was quite a lot, but after examining each item one by one, his gaze suddenly fixed on a corner of the ring that he had long forgotten.

It was completely empty. There was nothing there.

Yet the moment he saw that empty space, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Sacred Soul Village.

The waterfall behind the mountain.

The Blue Silver Emperor Seedling.

The 100,000-year right leg soul bone.

The hand holding his tea bowl paused, and the tea sloshed against its rim.

"How did I forget about this?"

Huang Yun set down the tea bowl, his mind racing.

That 100,000-year right leg soul bone was a relic Tang San's mother, Ah Yin, had left for him.

In the original story, Tang Hao had buried it beneath the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling in a box. Inside was the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which came with the ability of endless vitality, allowing limb regeneration and rapid recovery of life force. As for flight, perhaps it could even enhance his own flying ability when combined with it.

This was one of the easiest top-tier spirit bones for transmigrators to obtain.

The location was clear, there were no guardian Soul Beasts, and as long as one knew the place, they only had to dig it up.

By then, Tang Hao had already left Sacred Soul Village to travel, and the strongest person in the entire village was probably only an ordinary person at old village chief Jack's level.

He had spent the past six years traveling all across the continent, running here and there, and had completely forgotten about it.

Now that he remembered, the timing was perfect.

Tang San had already enrolled at Shrek, and Tang Hao had long since left Sacred Soul Village.

That spirit bone was buried in the dirt beside the waterfall right now. It was ownerless—whoever found it would own it.

Huang Yun left several Copper Soul Coins to pay for the tea, then rose and walked out of town.

"Sacred Soul Village, here I come."

He found an unpopulated place, spread his wings, and flew at top speed toward Sacred Soul Village.

Sacred Soul Village was located on the southern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, within Fasno Province. It was said that the village had earned its name because a Soul Saint had emerged from it a hundred years ago.

The village was small, with only around a hundred households. Its residents lived off the mountain, and the people were simple and honest. On Douluo Continent, it was the most ordinary sort of remote village.

After flying for roughly half a day, Huang Yun reached the airspace near Sacred Soul Village as dusk approached.

He did not land directly inside the village. Instead, he landed far away in a dense forest behind the mountain, concealed his aura, and approached on foot.

The forest behind the mountain was denser than Huang Yun had expected, but the mountain path was not difficult to traverse.

He followed a faintly visible dirt path through the woods. He could hear the sound of running water not far away, growing clearer and clearer.

After passing around a clump of bushes, a waterfall appeared before him.

The waterfall was not large, with a drop of roughly thirty to forty feet. Water crashed noisily into the pool below, spraying white foam into the air.

Moss and ferns grew thickly around the pool. The air was damp and cool, carrying the scent of earth, grass, and trees.

Huang Yun swept his gaze across the area and spread out his Mental Power, covering the entire waterfall and pool.

Then he spotted the cave behind the waterfall and Teleported inside the next instant.

In the dirt beside a large rock on the right, a patch of ground held a cluster of slender, glowing blue grass. Its leaves were long and soft, swaying gently in the breeze, their surfaces covered in a faint blue radiance.

That was the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling.

Unlike the ordinary weeds outside, this plant was clearly extraordinary. Even as a seedling, it exuded a gentle aura of life.

Huang Yun walked over and crouched down, using Raikiri to carefully cut through the soil surrounding the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling.

When his fingers reached about an inch beneath the soil, his fingertips touched something hard.

He cautiously continued digging away the dirt, and soon revealed the corner of a wooden box.

The wooden box was not large, only palm-sized. Its surface had darkened somewhat, clearly having been buried underground for quite some time. Yet the wood remained hard and intact, without any signs of decay.

Huang Yun removed the wooden box from the soil, brushed off the dirt covering its surface, and found it surprisingly heavy in his hand.

He took a deep breath and lifted the lid.

The box was lined with a layer of fine, soft silk, and lying quietly in its center was a pale blue spirit bone.

The spirit bone was crystal-clear, as if carved from pure blue crystal. A gentle glow of life flowed across its surface, while fine golden patterns at its edges pulsed faintly like veins.

The 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

Huang Yun gently touched the surface of the spirit bone. A warm, rich aura of life immediately flowed through his fingertips and into his body, carrying an endlessly renewing warmth that refreshed his very spirit.

This sensation was completely different from the scorching heat he had felt when touching the Dragon Tail Soul Bone before.

The latter held wild, surging battle intent, while the former possessed gentle, enduring vitality.

"Good stuff. Such dense life energy—worthy of a 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor."

"What a pity. Your son was ruined by Yu Xiaogang. His greatest advantage was life, yet he went and played with poison. What a waste."

"Even if he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline later on, he would only become a malnourished, incomparably fragile, lowest-grade Blue Silver Emperor."

"A treasure like this would be wasted on that trash. It would be better off with me. I'll definitely put it to good use."

After speaking, Huang Yun closed the wooden box and placed it into his storage ring. Then he refilled the soil around the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling, erasing every trace of digging.

The Blue Silver Emperor Seedling remained there, still growing quietly.

He stood up and gave the cluster of glowing blue grass one final look.

In the original story, this Blue Silver Emperor Seedling would later be planted in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Now that he had taken the spirit bone, he would leave the seedling alone.

This was the true body of the Blue Silver Emperor. If he touched it, Tang Hao and Tang San might notice.

He was not afraid of them, but there was no need to invite trouble.

No one knew the spirit bone was hidden underground, but if the seedling withered or vanished, it would be far too conspicuous.

"Leave it. It may be useful later."

Huang Yun turned and left the place.

This trip had gone far too smoothly.

When Tang Hao buried this spirit bone twelve years ago, he surely had not imagined that years later, a passing transmigrator would stop by and dig it up.

The sun over Sacred Soul Village gradually sank behind the mountains. The waterfall behind the mountain continued to roar, its rushing waters sounding especially clear in the fading dusk.

Huang Yun's figure had already vanished into the depths of the forest. The Blue Silver Emperor Seedling swayed gently in the evening breeze, the glow on its leaves growing fainter and fainter, as if it had fallen asleep.

Before long, Huang Yun landed atop a cliff several hundred miles away from Sacred Soul Village.

He took out the wooden box once more, opened it, and held the pale blue spirit bone in his palm as he carefully sensed it.

The 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone possessed pure life and natural power. It was not entirely compatible with his lightning-attribute Martial Soul, but the spirit bone's value was undeniable.
