After leaving the waterfall, Lin Feng found a quiet spot and circulated his Soul Power again.
Robust power flowed through his meridians, finally stopping at a new threshold.
Level forty!
After absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, his Soul Power had actually leaped from level thirty-five to level forty in one go.
But without his fourth Soul Ring, he could not break through any further yet.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone really is beyond comparison with ordinary Soul Bones."
Lin Feng opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
However, he was in no hurry to hunt for his fourth Soul Ring.
Before leaving this place, he still had one more thing to do.
The Blue Silver King!
In the original story, it was precisely with his help that Tang San had awakened his Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor.
Now, Lin Feng had already taken Ah Yin away and absorbed that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone himself.
Naturally, he would not leave behind the Blue Silver King who could awaken Tang San's bloodline, either.
But he was a plant Soul Beast with a full eighty-five thousand years of cultivation.
With Lin Feng's current strength, going to fight him would be no different from throwing his life away.
At that thought, Lin Feng glanced at the woods behind him.
Just because he could not beat him did not mean others could not.
Over the next few days, Lin Feng did not rush to leave the area.
He first left Ah Yin and the wooden box temporarily at a nearby Spirit Hall Branch, instructing someone to look after her, then bought a map and asked the local hunters about ancient forests.
Remembering the plot did not mean remembering the exact route.
He only knew that the forest where the Blue Silver King lived was not particularly large, with lush ancient trees and exceptionally vigorous Blue Silver Grass growing all around.
Following those characteristics, Lin Feng searched several places in succession, but found nothing.
Only on the fifth day did he get a new lead from an old hunter.
"You mean that blue grass? There's a whole patch of it in the mountains to the west."
"The trees there are old, and the grass grows strangely too. Some of it nearly reaches your waist. I went in when I was young, but rarely went back afterward."
Lin Feng immediately noted the direction.
Early the next morning, he followed the mountain path into the forest.
The deeper he went, the thicker the surrounding trees became. Blue Silver Grass grew everywhere on the ground, its leaves broader and thicker than those outside.
"This should be the place."
Lin Feng crouched down and parted the blades of grass by his feet.
Just then, Bibi Dong's voice sounded in his heart.
"What exactly are you looking for?"
"A Blue Silver King."
"A Blue Silver King?"
Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.
Lin Feng stood and continued forward, replying inwardly, "Eighty-five thousand years of cultivation. He should be deep in this forest."
"You want to use him as your fourth Soul Ring?"
"No."
Lin Feng answered without the slightest hesitation.
Even with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone strengthening his body, he was not foolish enough to think he could directly absorb an eighty-five-thousand-year Soul Ring.
"I just want him dead."
Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Does this have something to do with Tang San?"
Lin Feng smiled.
"He can help Tang San awaken his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately understood and asked no further questions.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, was somewhat astonished.
First the immortal herbs, then that Soul Bone, and now he even knew how Tang San would awaken his Martial Soul in the future.
Just how many secrets did this child still have hidden within him?
Lin Feng paid no attention to their thoughts. Instead, he raised his head toward the trees and called out:
"Elder Ju, could you help this junior check whether there are any powerful plant Soul Beasts nearby?"
A moment later, a figure landed beside him.
Yue Guan glanced at him.
"Little fellow, you want this old man to do even your Soul Beast searching for you?"
"You're an expert on plants, so naturally, this junior has to seek your advice."
Smiling, Lin Feng pointed around them.
"These Blue Silver Grasses couldn't have grown like this for no reason, could they?"
Yue Guan bent down and inspected them for a moment, the casual look on his face gradually disappearing.
"There is indeed something strange about them."
His spiritual power spread into the forest.
A moment later, Yue Guan abruptly turned toward the depths of the forest.
"Found him."
Passing through a stand of ancient trees, Lin Feng finally saw the plant.
Thick blue vines grew intertwined, their tips reaching high above, their crystalline surfaces gleaming.
At the center of the vines, an aged human face was faintly visible.
The Blue Silver King!
Yue Guan stopped in front of Lin Feng, a little more surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Blue Silver Grass can actually cultivate to this extent?"
A deep voice came from the vines.
"Humans, you are not welcome here."
Lin Feng did not answer, instead looking at Yue Guan.
"Elder Ju, this junior would like his root core to study its medicinal properties and help condition my body."
Hearing this, Yue Guan immediately turned his head.
"Do you know how much cultivation he has?"
"I do."
"And you still dare set your sights on him?"
Lin Feng glanced at the aged face and said slowly, "That is why this junior would like to ask for your help."
Yue Guan frowned.
"Her Holiness instructed that you must rely on yourself during your own training."
Before he had finished speaking, an emerald-green light shone from Lin Feng's body.
Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, possess!
Yellow, purple, purple-three Soul Rings rose.
The next moment, a spiderweb shot out, wrapping around a section of the Blue Silver King's exposed roots!
The instant the silk touched him, its devouring power activated.
"How dare you!"
The Blue Silver King's voice abruptly rose.
The ground shook violently, and several thick vines burst from the earth, lashing savagely toward Lin Feng.
Already prepared, Lin Feng lit up his right leg with blue light and rapidly flew backward.
But the vines were faster than he was!
Just as the blue streaks caught up to him, a golden chrysanthemum suddenly bloomed.
Boom!
The vines were blasted away. Yue Guan stood in front of Lin Feng, his face already dark.
"Brat, you did that on purpose?"
Lin Feng retreated to a safe distance and gave a dry chuckle.
"Please save me, Elder."
At the same time, a black shadow darted out from the side, intercepting several other vines attempting to circle behind them.
Gui Mei had appeared as well.
"We'll deal with him when we get back."
As his words fell, nine Soul Rings appeared one after another beneath each of their feet.
The anger on the Blue Silver King's face finally turned to terror.
Two Titled Douluos!
He immediately mobilized the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. Vast swathes of blue light rose from the ground, and vines wove together in layer upon layer, trying to stop the two men.
However, spinning golden petals had already sliced into them.
Thick vines snapped one after another, blue sap spraying in all directions.
Meanwhile, Gui Mei skimmed swiftly along the ground. His black shadow slipped between the roots and violently tore the main root hidden in the soil out into the open.
Yue Guan did not let the opportunity pass.
Dazzling golden light abruptly descended, piercing straight through the Blue Silver King's central trunk!
A scream rang through the forest.
Standing in the distance, Lin Feng watched the human face gradually contort, finally collapsing along with the severed vines.
Before long, a pitch-black Soul Ring slowly condensed.
The eighty-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King was dead.
Yue Guan withdrew his Martial Soul and turned toward Lin Feng.
"Satisfied now?"
Lin Feng hurried forward.
"Thank you, Elders. Once we return, this junior will certainly ask Teacher to reward you both for your contributions."
"None of that!"
Yue Guan snorted coldly.
Lin Feng, however, had already turned toward the Blue Silver King's remains, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
Ah Yin was in his hands, and the Blue Silver King was dead.
Even if Tang Hao brought Tang San here in the future, all they would find was a patch of broken roots.
When that time came, who else could they count on to awaken Tang San's bloodline?
Tang San.
Your Blue Silver Grass can just keep being Blue Silver Grass!
