Gleaming White Divine Bones Reflected the Lake's Light, Cultivation at Its Heart Awaited Rebates

After everyone else had dispersed, only Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu and her mother, Tian Meng, and the Ice Empress remained on Heart Lake Island.

The evening breeze brushed across the lake, carrying the fresh scent of the Tree of Life. Xiao Wu sat on a rock by the water, swishing her fluffy tail as she stared curiously at the sapling in the center of Heart Lake Island, occasionally reaching for the green motes of light drifting toward her.

Xiao Wu's Mother stood nearby, gently watching over her daughter, but her gaze rested on Qian Daoliu, as though waiting for his next arrangements.

Qian Daoliu turned, his gaze settling on Bibi Dong, and asked calmly, "Dong'er, how many soul bones are you still missing?"

Bibi Dong froze for a moment, then bowed and answered:

"Teacher, I currently have four soul bones-the head soul bone I obtained in my early years, a left leg bone gifted by Auntie Xiao Wu, and two arm soul bones, both produced by hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperors. I also have an external soul bone, the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings of a hundred-thousand-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor."

"An external soul bone?"

Tian Meng was the first to speak. His milky-white body spun in the air, his ice-blue eyes filled with shock.

"The chances of an external soul bone appearing are even lower than those of soul bones for other body parts. Miss Bibi Dong actually obtained one? That luck is incredible!"

The Ice Empress nodded as well, a trace of surprise in her emerald eyes.

"External soul bones not only increase your strength, but also evolve as your cultivation improves. They offer far greater support to a soul master than ordinary soul bones. No wonder your Spider Emperor martial soul can unleash such tremendous power."
