After successfully obtaining the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Gui Yuan did not linger and immediately left the area.
Although Tang Hao had not returned to this place for a long time according to the original novel, Gui Yuan knew the saying "better safe than sorry".
This Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is priceless, and no one can guarantee that no unexpected changes will occur. Therefore, he decisively withdrew the moment he got his hands on it.
His next destination was very clear: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well deep within the Sunset Forest.
The primary task of this trip is to properly implant Ah Yin's original body there.
Before this, he and his two uncles had already dug out the spiritual herbs Immortal Herb that could be directly dug up, leaving their roots intact, and sealed them properly using special methods.
Therefore, even if Ah Yin were planted next to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, at most she could only accelerate the recovery of her cultivation by taking advantage of the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Moreover, even if Ah Yin were to actually consume the remaining herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to aid her cultivation, it wouldn't be a loss for Gui Yuan.
As for turning Ah Yin to his side and making her completely submit to him, Gui Yuan has no such plans for the time being.
First of all, he is a core member of the Spirit Hall, while Ah Yin is Soul Beast, and a top-level Soul Beast that can grow to the level of 100,000 years.
In the eyes of the Spirit Hall, such a place is undoubtedly a "blood river treasure" that can be sustainably mined.
There is a natural antagonistic relationship between Soul Master and Soul Beast. This is an unchanging rule on the Douluo Continent, and he has no need to break this balance.
Secondly, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the original work and create those messy, melodramatic plot twists.
If he really fell in love with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like Tang San did, he would probably face a "joint interrogation" from his teacher, his two uncles who treated him like their own son, and the grandfathers in the Worship Hall.
Of course, using the word "interrogation" might be a bit too strong. More accurately, it should be described as a "heart-to-heart talk" full of concern and dissuasion, but in any case, it was not the situation he wanted to face.
Most importantly, what benefit would he gain from turning Ah Yin to the enemy?
Thinking about it carefully, besides being able to annoy Tang Hao and Tang San, it seems like that's all. Or rather, getting a Soul Beast companion?
That would be completely unnecessary.
However, on the other hand, if a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were to develop feelings for him, Gui Yuan wouldn't mind accepting those feelings.
After all, he believed he was good-looking, had considerable ability, and even possessed the qualities to Divine Trial; from any perspective, he was attractive enough.
But he also knew that the chances were incredibly slim.
In the Douluo series, most 100,000-year-old female Soul Beast possess the trait of being "love-struck," but there is an indispensable premise behind this.
It is only when male Soul Master take the initiative to show them their true feelings and provide them with enough care and protection that they may open their hearts and develop feelings.
Moreover, this is only a "possibility," not an absolute certainty.
Unlike Tang San and Huo Yuhao, Gui Yuan has no need to waste time and energy gambling on such low-probability events.
His thoughts on Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are simple: when he breaks through his bottleneck and needs Soul Ring in the future, if the beast is willing to sacrifice itself, he will give it a dignified home.
Even after he becomes a god, he will still remember this kindness and grant them eternal life in the Divine Realm, which is something that the vast majority of Soul Beast desire and cannot refuse.
But if the other party is unwilling to cooperate, then he will have no choice but to resort to violence.
Having made up his mind, Gui Yuan first found a secluded and safe corner, took out his disguise tools, and reapplied a completely different look from before.
After doing all this, he continued towards Sunset Forest.
At this moment, sealed within the Soul Tool that Gui Yuan always carried, Ah Yin's true form was trembling, her heart filled with endless fear and unease.
She had no idea what fate awaited her, nor what terrible things the Soul Master who had abducted her would do to her.
On the other side.
Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong's departure was something none of them could understand.
After leaving Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong rested for one night at a hotel in Suotuo City, and then left early the next morning, heading towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong did this because her Grandpa Sword, had sent her a telepathic message saying that Flender was secretly watching her.
I think she's just being stubborn and will definitely go back later.
After confirming that Flender had indeed left, in the town closest to Suotuo City.
Inside the hotel.
Ning Rongrong looked at Chen Xin, somewhat puzzled. " Grandpa Sword, can you tell me now what this important matter is?"
Without hesitation, Chen Xin said directly, "That day, I discovered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast among that group of people."
"What!" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. " Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? How is that possible!"
"To be precise, it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form," Chen Xin said. "I never expected that secretly escorting you out this time would yield such a reward."
"But..." Chen Xin looked at Ning Rongrong, his expression complicated, "With your cultivation level, you are not capable of absorbing the Soul Ring of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and within the sect, no one's cultivation level can reach Level 90 in a short period of time."
"Therefore, that Soul Beast's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring will ultimately be wasted."
As for that piece of Soul Bone...
Chen Xin knew that the Soul Bone would be most effective if he were to absorb it, because he had the highest cultivation level within the sect.
It's not impossible to let that old guy Gu Rong absorb it, but after absorbing it, he can only break through to Level 96 at most. The chance of breaking through to Level 97 is extremely low.
The reason is simple: Gu Rong has been stuck at level Level 95 for almost ten years.
He had accumulated enough Soul Power long ago, but he lacked understanding of Martial Soul, meaning his comprehension was lacking.
Even if one forcibly breaks through the bottleneck using Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, reaching Level 97 is hopeless.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong said, " Grandpa Sword, you should absorb that Soul Bone. I believe Dad and Grandpa Bone will understand."
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Moreover, Grandpa Sword, you are the strongest sword of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Only if you break through can my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect survive on this Douluo Continent."
Although Ning Rongrong is only twelve years old, she has been exposed to the world since childhood and naturally knows from Ning Fengzhi how to maximize benefits.
Although she also longed for that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, she knew that it would be a waste for Soul Master like her with a flawed Martial Soul to absorb Soul Bone of that level.
