Absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Soul Bone! Star Luo Empire! Divine Smith Lou Gao!

Even without activating its Spirit Bone skill, the basic boost from fusion alone could greatly enhance his body's recovery ability.

More importantly, this Spirit Bone's core abilities were Limb Regeneration and Rapid Self-Healing.

As long as he did not die on the spot, even the most severe injuries could slowly heal through this Spirit Bone, maximizing his ability to stay alive.

He sat cross-legged and pressed the Spirit Bone against the outer side of his right thigh.

The moment the Spirit Bone touched his skin, it slowly merged into him.

A cool yet warm life force spread along his right leg, intertwining with the Soul Power circulation already within his body as it nourished his meridians, flesh, and blood.

The fusion process went extremely smoothly. The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone possessed tremendous spirituality and was exceptionally compatible with its host.

The Blue Silver Emperor was originally a plant-type Soul Beast known for its gentleness and tolerance. Unlike a Dragon Soul Bone, which brimmed with aggression, its Spirit Bone silently permeated his body like a gentle rain.

Huang Yun closed his eyes and felt it for a while. The warmth from his right leg relaxed his entire body considerably.

Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones now.

Dragon Tail leaned toward attack and speed, while the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Soul Bone leaned toward recovery and survival.

One for offense and one for defense—they complemented each other perfectly.

Moreover, his Soul Power had risen to level fifty-five Soul King.

In the original story, absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could not directly cause such a massive increase in Soul Power Level. Even so, after absorbing two in succession, his Soul Power had reached level fifty-five Soul King.

He opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Tang San, Tang San, I'll hold on to that inheritance of yours for you. Besides, in the original story, this Spirit Bone of yours was beneath the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling your mother left behind. Whoever dug it up owned it. By the time you find out... you won't be able to catch me anyway."

He chuckled, casually put away the wooden box, then rose and stretched his legs.

A light, buoyant strength flowed through his right leg, as though every step landed on an invisible cushion. Running would take far less effort now.

Huang Yun looked at the sky. Night had deepened, and countless stars hung overhead.

He found a sheltered rock wall, sat down against a flat stone, and closed his eyes to rest.

Where should he go tomorrow?

A vague plan had already formed in his mind.

That day, Huang Yun appeared outside a major city on the border of the Star Luo Empire.

Gengjin City.

Its city walls towered high, built entirely from dark gray boulders that gleamed with a cold, metallic luster beneath the afternoon sun.

The flow of people entering and leaving the city gates was no less than that of Heaven Dou City. Carriages and horses filled the air with noise, merchants and travelers came in an endless stream, and quite a few Soul Masters carried weapons on their backs.

Gengjin City was famous because it gathered the continent's finest blacksmiths and casting masters.

There were hundreds of blacksmith shops of all sizes throughout the city, offering everything from farming tools to custom Soul Tools. At the very top stood the divine smith, Lou Gao.

Huang Yun put on his mask and blended into the crowd as he entered the city.

Gengjin City was even livelier inside than it appeared from outside. Shops stood shoulder to shoulder along both sides of the streets, the clanging of forging hammers rose and fell without pause, and the air was thick with the smell of iron filings and charcoal fires.

The roadside stalls displayed all kinds of finished weapons and armor, ranging from ordinary steel blades to fine pieces inlaid with low-level Soul Beast materials.

He walked along the main street for nearly half an hour. After turning through two alleys, the view suddenly opened up before him.

A three-story stone building stood at the end of the street. Its storefront was several times larger than the others, and above the entrance hung a black plaque with gold lettering: Lou Gao Forge.

Two heavy iron doors beneath the plaque stood open. Inside the spacious workshop, furnace fires blazed brightly. Several bare-chested apprentices swung hammers at iron blocks, their rhythm brisk as clanging sounds rang out.

When Huang Yun entered, a middle-aged man sorting tools nearby glanced up at him. "Need something made?"

"I'm looking for Master Lou," Huang Yun said bluntly.

The middle-aged man sized him up, his gaze lingering on the mask over Huang Yun's face. Without asking further, he jerked his chin toward the rear of the workshop. "Last room inside. Go on in yourself. Master's in there."

Huang Yun crossed the workshop, passed two steaming furnaces, and arrived at the door of the innermost room.

The door was open. The space inside was far more spacious than it looked from outside, piled high with all kinds of unfinished weapons and armor. The walls were covered with blueprints and molds.

A short, sturdy old man with graying hair was squatting on the floor, polishing a palm-sized piece of metal. His back faced the doorway, his hands moved rapidly, and sparks flew in every direction.

Huang Yun knocked on the doorframe.

The old man did not turn around, nor did he stop working. His voice was booming. "Who is it?"

"A customer."

"Get in line."

"That won't work. Whether you want to take my job or not, you'll have to take it."

Lou Gao's hands stopped moving.

He set down the metal piece, stood up, and turned to look at Huang Yun. His square face was covered in thick flesh, his eyebrows were broad and heavy, and though his eyes were small, his gaze was sharp.

He looked Huang Yun over several times. Seeing that he was a masked youth, he snorted. "Quite the tone. Do you know what happened to the people who said that to me in Gengjin City?"

"I don't." Huang Yun's tone was calm. "But for this job, you're the only one in all of Gengjin City who can do it. And you'll definitely be interested. If you miss this chance, you'll regret it."

Lou Gao raised an eyebrow, somewhat intrigued. He dropped heavily into a chair beside him and crossed one leg over the other. "Let's hear it."

Without wasting words, Huang Yun took one of the six Dragon Bones from his storage ring and laid it horizontally on the workbench before Lou Gao.

At first, Lou Gao did not pay much attention. His gaze casually swept over it, then froze.

He leaned forward and reached out to touch the surface of the bone. His fingers rubbed across its bone patterns, then he leaned closer to inspect its cross-section. His expression gradually changed.

"This is... Dragon Clan bone?"

"Good eye. As expected of a divine smith." Huang Yun nodded.

Lou Gao's breathing grew heavier.

He carefully felt over the Dragon Bone again. After confirming his judgment, he abruptly looked up and stared into Huang Yun's eyes. "What age?"

"One hundred and twenty thousand years."

Lou Gao's hands suddenly froze, and his pupils contracted before quickly returning to normal.

But Huang Yun noticed his fingers tremble faintly against the Dragon Bone's surface.

"Where did you get it?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Huang Yun continued by taking out the Dragon Crystal from his ring and holding it in his palm for Lou Gao to see.

The moment the Dragon Crystal appeared, the air in the entire room seemed to sink.

Its pale golden light was especially conspicuous in the dim room. Liquid radiance slowly swirled within it, and the Dragon Clan's pressure it released caused the unfinished pieces of armor behind Lou Gao to tremble faintly.

Lou Gao's gaze shifted from the Dragon Bone to the Dragon Crystal, then back from the Dragon Crystal to the Dragon Bone. The surprise on his face turned solemn.

He remained silent for more than ten breaths before finally asking, "What do you want made?"

Huang Yun put away the Dragon Crystal and said, "Two things."

Why did he dare take them out so openly? Was he not afraid they would rob him? Not afraid they would report him to the Star Luo Empire and draw its attention?

He had considered that.

But he was not afraid.

If he truly discovered that they intended to rob him, he would keep a close watch on them. At night, when they were at their most relaxed, he would launch a surprise attack and kill them directly.

If you stole my things, then I would take your life.

Even a Titled Douluo would die if extreme speed and kinetic force drove a strike into a vital spot while they were at their most relaxed!!!

As for whether the items could not be made, that could wait until later.
