Even a Good Horse Eats Old Grass

Looking at the unconscious Earth Dragon Bear before him, Yu Luomian asked Xiao Yu with a helpless expression.

The group had searched the central region of Sunset Forest for a long time. Aside from this barely acceptable Earth Dragon Bear, they had not found any other soul beasts containing dragon blood.

If they wanted to keep searching, they would have to venture deeper into Sunset Forest. But if they went any farther in, the soul beasts there would no longer be suitable for Xiao Yu.

Their cultivation levels were simply too high.

Xiao Yu did not think he was capable of absorbing a soul ring over a thousand years old yet. With the system, there was no need for him to take that risk.

"Xiao Yu, although I understand how you feel, sometimes there's nothing we can do if we can't find one. Any farther in, and they'll all be over a thousand years old. I don't think you can absorb a Light Attribute soul beast over a thousand years old, so perhaps we should stop here."

Seeing Xiao Yu remain silent, Yu Luomian spoke helplessly.

It was not that he did not want to keep searching with Xiao Yu. He wanted Xiao Yu to be satisfied too, but the soul beasts farther in were no longer suitable for him.

Over the past two days, they had practically searched through every soul beast in Sunset Forest below a thousand years old.

Naturally, Xiao Yu understood all of this.

Looks like I'll need to look for my next soul ring in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Yu muttered to himself.

Sunset Forest was ultimately not the Star Dou Great Forest. His chances of finding the soul ring he needed would be greater there!

Then Xiao Yu slowly spoke.

"Master's Master, in that case, let's choose that Bright Spirit Butterfly we saw yesterday!"

If he could only choose between bloodline and attributes, Xiao Yu considered it for a moment before deciding that choosing the attribute would be safer. After all, he could purify his bloodline through the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but he had yet to find anything related to the Light Attribute.

While Sleeping Dragon was still in this state, he did not want its strength to be weakened by a reduction in its Light Attribute.

Keeping both in step was the best choice! If one aspect stood out too much, it would be troublesome if he went down the wrong path.

"Fine, I suppose that's our only choice. Let's go, then. Hopefully no one has beaten us to it."

Hearing Xiao Yu's decision, Liu Erlong revealed a trace of helplessness as well.

Last time, she had brought Xiao Yu here alone and had nearly been unable to return.

This time, they had brought their top combatants, only to find no suitable soul beast.

Helpless.

In the end, they returned to the outskirts. After searching nearby for a while, they quickly spotted the Bright Spirit Butterfly peacefully resting on a tree!

Seeing that the Bright Spirit Butterfly was still there, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.

"Looks like we got lucky. Xiao Yu, stay here. I'll be right back!"

With that, Yu Luomian prepared to make his move.

"Yu Luomian, don't compete with me. This one is mine!"

Seeing Yu Luomian about to claim all the credit, Dugu Bo immediately stepped forward and spoke.

"Dugu Bo, piss off! Xiao Yu is a member of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! What are you sticking your nose in for?"

"He's my granddaughter's husband!"

"He's a member of our clan!"

"He's my granddaughter's husband!"

"Damn it, don't you have anything else to say?!"

"He's my son-in-law!"

"..."

For a moment, seeing the two of them still arguing, Liu Erlong and Xiao Yu could only feel helpless.

Then, as their argument grew heated, the two attacked at the same time once more.

They vented all their resentment toward one another on that Bright Spirit Butterfly.

In an instant, two terrifying waves of pressure descended upon the poor Bright Spirit Butterfly, which had been living a leisurely life.

Before the poor Bright Spirit Butterfly could even understand what was happening, it felt as though its deceased parents were waving to it.

Not long after, crushed beneath the two waves of pressure, the Bright Spirit Butterfly's mind went blank and it fainted, completely losing any ability to resist.

Under Dugu Bo and Yu Luomian's Soul Power suppression, it could not even activate its innate soul skill.

After seeing the two of them suppress the Bright Spirit Butterfly until it was half-dead, Xiao Yu summoned Sleeping Dragon.

Before long, a purple thousand-year soul ring appeared beneath Xiao Yu's feet.

Although the three people present had not seen Xiao Yu's first purple soul ring for the first time, they still wore astonished expressions.

No matter how many times they saw something that so thoroughly defied their understanding, they would still be shocked!

"Say, do you think Xiao Yu's soul ring will change again when he absorbs this Bright Spirit Butterfly?"

Recalling what Erlong had told him before, Yu Luomian spoke without thinking.

Last time, Xiao Yu's soul ring had somehow advanced to a thousand-year level after he absorbed a hundred-year soul beast. He wondered whether the same thing would happen this time.

But he quickly came to his senses. The person beside him was not his elder brother, so he could only shut his mouth.

"I don't know. Only his teacher was present when he obtained his last soul ring. I wasn't there!"

Since it concerned Xiao Yu, Dugu Bo replied without thinking as well.

"Uh..."

"Hmph!!"

After Dugu Bo realized that he had replied to Yu Luomian, the two of them snorted coldly at the same time.

Seeing the two of them at odds again, Liu Erlong felt a headache coming on.

"Sleeping Dragon, go. Finish it!"

Sleeping Dragon, which had been rubbing against Xiao Yu's feet like an eager puppy, immediately dashed toward the Bright Spirit Butterfly upon receiving Xiao Yu's order.

Then, under its relieved gaze, Sleeping Dragon—whose teeth had become exceptionally sharp after evolving—bit it to death in a single bite.

Before long, a yellow soul ring streaked with faint purple patterns slowly appeared above the Bright Spirit Butterfly's corpse.

Without hesitating, Xiao Yu immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing it.

With the three big shots around him keeping watch, there was absolutely no problem.

As he absorbed the soul ring, Xiao Yu discovered that the process was incredibly smooth this time.

He barely felt anything unusual.

Everything proceeded as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Thus, an hour later, Xiao Yu finally finished absorbing the soul ring.

The feeling of shackles around his body vanished as well.

However, as he sensed the Soul Power within his body, Xiao Yu frowned slightly.

"Level twenty-one."

Too little.

Absorbing a nine-hundred-year soul beast had not even raised him several levels.

Still, he had yet to open his treasure chest. Once he opened it, perhaps he could strengthen himself once more.

Without delay, Xiao Yu opened the treasure chest right away.
