Can Soul Bone Skills Gain Rule Effects Too?

"Mystic Bone Glazed Grass! I never expected to find something this good in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

Luofan marveled inwardly at the Immortal Herb before him.

The herb looked almost translucent. According to the notes, its effect was simple: it could greatly enhance the effects of a Soul Bone!

Apart from External Soul Bones, a Soul Bone from any of the six standard parts was fixed at the age it had when absorbed. Its age could never increase!

Mystic Bone Glazed Grass was different. Eating it would greatly amplify the effects of a Soul Bone.

As for Soul Bones, he currently had only one: a Head Soul Bone.

It was the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, a Soul Bone over sixty thousand years old.

It had transformed his mental power and strengthened it enormously, even speeding up his meditation!

What if he took this Mystic Bone Glazed Grass and enhanced his Head Soul Bone further?

The stronger his mental power, the better his meditation would be. For Luofan, whose top priority was raising his Soul Power Level, this herb could not have come at a better time!

And because he had only one Soul Bone, all of the enhancement would go into it!

Luofan had no intention of pulling the plant up by the roots. Instead, he cut off its upper portion as though harvesting chives, then swallowed it!

He felt the potent medicinal energy burst through his abdomen.

It naturally surged toward the Soul Bone in his head and rapidly merged with it!

Until now, it had only been a Soul Bone over sixty thousand years old.

Under the medicinal energy's influence, its age began climbing!

Seventy thousand years. Seventy-eight thousand. Eighty-six thousand. Ninety-three thousand...

By the time he had absorbed all the medicinal energy, Luofan still had not opened his eyes. Yet he felt his consciousness floating upward.

He looked down. He had no body at all, only a mass of mental consciousness.

His body was still sitting cross-legged below!

What is this? Has my Primordial Spirit left my body? Luofan wondered.

His current state was remarkably similar to the legendary experience!

He also understood what had happened. The Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull had risen from sixty thousand years to 129,600 years old—more than double!

His mental power had soared again, granting him an exclusive Soul Bone Skill: the ability to send his Primordial Spirit out of his body!

More importantly, he could do more than simply send his consciousness outside his body. He could even use it to seize control of someone else's body.

That control lasted thirty seconds, increasing or decreasing by one second for each level of difference in Soul Power Level!

Luofan was currently level thirty-three!

Against another level-thirty-three opponent, he could seize control of their body for thirty seconds!

Against someone at level thirty-two, it would be thirty-one seconds!

And against someone at level thirty-four, it would be twenty-nine!

Luofan knew that simply increasing the Soul Bone's age would not have granted him the ability to seize another person's body!

That ability mainly came from the effect of his rule-granting Golden Entry.

It was an unexpected delight!

What did his rule-granting effect do?

It randomly added a rule-based effect to his Soul Skills.

Luofan had originally thought this Golden Entry applied only to Soul Skills granted by Soul Rings!

He had not expected it to work on Soul Skills granted by Soul Bones too!

That opened up a whole new world of possibilities!

With the six main Soul Bones, he could gain six Soul Bone Skills if he was lucky!

Wouldn't that give him six more rule-based effects?

And what if he obtained several more External Soul Bones?

Could Self-Created Soul Skills benefit from the rule-granting Golden Entry as well?

After all, Self-Created Soul Skills could be learned!

"Thirty seconds... I'm level thirty-three, so I should be able to seize control of any Soul Emperor below level sixty-three for at least one second, right?"

"This rule-based effect came from a Soul Bone nearly 130,000 years old, and it shows! It's practically a divine skill!"

"In a fierce battle, even one second of control could turn the tide, let alone dozens of seconds!"

"With this Soul Bone Skill, I'm practically unbeatable as long as my opponent isn't more than thirty levels above me!"

Luofan took his time feeling out the rule-based effect of his Soul Bone Skill. He was extremely satisfied!

Using it meant sending his Primordial Spirit out to seize control of an opponent's body, leaving his own body defenseless. That was a weakness of the skill!

But he had the Golden Entry that gave him an undying body!

Once he had calmed his excitement, Luofan began eating and gathering the other top-tier spiritual plants and precious Immortal Herbs!

He ate whatever suited him. Anything he could take, he packed into the jade boxes he had prepared and stored in his storage-type Soul Tool!

Though Luofan left the roots of most of the Immortal Herbs he took, allowing them to grow back, the place looked thoroughly harvested by the time he finished!

It was nearly midnight. Prince Xue Xing's birthday banquet should have ended, and Dugu Bo might return at any moment. Holding the Aromatic Silk Beauty and relying on its poison-repelling field, Luofan passed through the poisonous miasma again and returned to the crown prince's residence in Heaven Dou City.

On his way in, he had relied on his undying body to withstand the poison. Now that he could use the herb to get out, he had no desire to put himself through that again!

He was nothing like Deadpool from the Marvel universe, who used his near-immortal healing to throw himself into danger over and over.

He might not die, but he could still feel pain.

"Brother Fan, where did you go so late at night?"

But as soon as Luofan returned to the crown prince's residence, he found Xue Qinghe waiting for him.

"Uh, Brother Xue, you're still awake?" Seeing that Xue Qinghe seemed to have been waiting for him, Luofan gave an awkward smile.

"I showed my face at the banquet and came back, only to find you missing. How was I supposed to sleep?" Xue Qinghe rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Before Luofan could answer, Xue Qinghe asked, "Come on, then. Sneaking off in the middle of the night without a word—what were you up to?"

"Heh, Brother Xue, you already called it something bad. Of course I can't tell you!" Luofan smiled mysteriously.

Then he took a jade box from his storage-type Soul Tool. "Brother Xue, don't say I forgot about you. I brought you something good too!"
