Dugu Yan placed her hands on the table, her clear, bright eyes fixed on Lin Mo, her gaze filled with curiosity.
She simply couldn't understand how Lin Mo could have obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone during the half-month he was out wandering around.
Could it be that he killed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
" A-Mo," Dugu Yan spoke, her voice filled with obvious confusion, "Where did you get this Soul Bone? You didn't kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the past two weeks, did you?"
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, the others also turned their attention to Lin Mo, awaiting his reply.
Lin Mo shook his head slightly upon hearing this, a helpless smile appearing on his face.
" Sister Yanyan, you're giving me way too much credit," he said. " Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast isn't so easy to kill."
Even the weaker ones among them would require Titled Douluo of Level 95 or higher to have any chance of killing them.
"I'm just a minor Soul Emperor right now, how could I possibly have such great abilities?"
He spoke frankly, without any attempt to conceal anything.
And that is indeed the case.
The strength of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast far surpasses that of an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even the weakest Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be a nightmare for a typical Titled Douluo to encounter.
Only with Titled Douluo of Level 95 or above present can there be a chance to kill him.
With his current strength, he's confident he can escape from a typical Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but killing it is out of the question.
Unless it's type-countered by him and Charizard, this situation is worth trying.
Ye Lingling stood to the side, her tone hesitant, "Then where did you get this Soul Bone?"
"It couldn't have been found, could it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded.
" Sister Lingling is right, I really did find this Soul Bone."
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
Dugu Yan's eyes widened. Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
Found it?
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone —is that something you can get your hands on?
Seeing the "you're not kidding, are you?" expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile. "I was just going out for a walk to clear my head. I passed by a beautiful waterfall and Shi Xing to go in and take a look on a whim."
"As a result, we found this lead box in a cave behind the waterfall." He pointed to the lead box on the table. "When we opened it, we found this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone inside."
"It seems someone hid the Soul Bone there a long time ago, but for some reason, no one has come to retrieve it."
Lin Mo spoke these words calmly, with a frank look in his eyes, showing no sign of lying.
He was not lying.
The Soul Bone was found in a cave behind the waterfall, and it was indeed sealed in a lead box.
He simply omitted some unimportant details.
For example, he already knew there was Soul Bone there, and his purpose in going there was to go directly for that Soul Bone.
Dugu Yan was stunned after hearing Lin Mo's explanation.
She turned to look at her grandfather, her beautiful eyes blinking as if they could speak.
Aren't stories about falling into a cave or behind a waterfall and suddenly finding a priceless treasure or a secret manual just for kids?
What?! There really is one?
Dugu Bo understood what his granddaughter meant and was immediately at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
He had lived most of his life and seen many strange and wonderful things, but he had never heard of anyone like Lin Mo who could find Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone just by going out for a walk.
This luck—it's just too incredible.
For a moment, the backyard fell into a brief silence.
After a long silence, Dugu Bo coughed lightly, breaking the stillness.
He looked at Lin Mo, his expression becoming more serious. "Since you're so lucky, then this is your good fortune."
Soul Bone are already incredibly rare, let alone Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone that ranks first on the Soul Master's Dream Ranking!
" Lin Mo, you'd better absorb it as soon as possible, lest things get complicated."
The value of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is immeasurable. If the news were to leak out, it would likely attract countless covetous eyes.
Even with him in charge, he won't be able to stop those prying eyes.
The best solution now is to let Lin Mo absorb the Soul Bone directly. After all, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.
However, upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Lin Mo shook his head slightly.
"Senior, this Soul Bone is not suitable for me," he said calmly. "I have no intention of absorbing it."
"Otherwise, I would have absorbed this Soul Bone when I first discovered it; why would I have brought it back?"
These words stunned everyone once again.
Unsuitable?
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone —is there still a claim that it's unsuitable?
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo reached into the lead box and pulled out the blue-gold right leg Soul Bone.
Lin Mo turned around and handed the Soul Bone to Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side.
" Sister Lengling," he looked at Ye Lingling, his eyes gentle yet earnest, "I also sensed this Soul Bone for a period of time after obtaining it."
Although it's unclear what specific type of Soul Beast produced it, it can be roughly determined that the Soul Beast that produced this Soul Bone should be Plant-type Soul Beast.
"Judging from the rich Life force emanating from the Soul Bone, it is highly likely that it will grant the absorber a healing-type Soul Skill."
"Judging from their attributes, Sister Lingling and the teacher are the most suitable. However—"
He looked at Ye Linyuan, a hint of apology in his voice, "Out of personal consideration, I still want to give this Soul Bone to Sister Lengleng."
Q
Ye Lingling was stunned.
As she looked at the Soul Bone Lin Mo handed her, a noticeable fluctuation appeared in her usually calm eyes for the first time.
The blue-gold light shone on her face, making her skin appear even whiter.
"I—" Ye Lingling opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She instinctively wanted to refuse.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is incredibly precious.
Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone are hailed as Blood River Treasure, and are the most coveted treasures for countless Soul Master.
The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, which is even more precious than the 10,000-year Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, is a legendary existence.
Since Lin Mo Lin Mo this, he should be the one to absorb it.
Ye Linyuan also spoke, his voice carrying the same tone of refusal. " Lin Mo, you discovered this Soul Bone; it's your turn to absorb it. Lingling— "
He was interrupted by Lin Mo before he could finish speaking.
Lin Mo shook his head, his expression resolute.
"Teacher, Soul Bone is valuable, but it should be used by the right person," he said. "My Scarlet Phoenix Wings have already granted me the ability to Nirvana, which is far more useful to me than ordinary healing Soul Skill."
"My absorption of this Soul Bone would only be a waste of its effects. Moreover, it would take up one of my Soul Bone slots."
The Nirvana Soul Skill granted by the Scarlet Phoenix Wings is far more effective than ordinary healing Soul Skill.
It can not only heal injuries, but also reset status and even temporarily boost strength.
In comparison, the healing Soul Skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone seemed somewhat useless to Lin Mo.
Moreover, the number of slots for Soul Bone is limited.
Lin Mo looked at Ye Lingling, his voice softening slightly. " Sister Lengling, you and the teacher have helped me a lot along the way."
Consider this piece of Soul Bone my small token of gratitude.
He paused, his tone more serious than ever before. "Don't refuse anymore."
Ye Lingleng stared at Lin Mo, a complex expression flashing in her usually calm eyes.
Ye Linyuan, who was standing to the side, watched this scene in silence for a long time.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
"Fine, since Lin Mo has said so, then I—I'll shamelessly agree on Lingling's behalf."
He looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression. " Lin Mo, Lingling and I will remember this kindness."
Lin Mo smiled and placed the Soul Bone in Ye Lingling's hand.
"Teacher, you're exaggerating," he said. "It's just making the best use of what we have."
Ye Lingling held the Soul Bone in his hand, feeling its warm touch and rich Life force, and for a moment he was in a daze.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone ----
And just like that—it ended up in my hands?
Dugu Bo, watching this scene from the side, was also filled with mixed emotions.
He looked at Lin Mo and nodded to himself.
I knew I hadn't misjudged this kid!
He was willing to give away Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone he had ever obtained.
Even though there are some wastes due to the repetition of effects in the Soul Skill, this is, after all, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
Even though he could absorb it himself, he was willing to give it up to others.
This made Dugu Bo's evaluation of Lin Mo rise even higher.
Dugu Bo sighed inwardly, thinking how lucky Yanyan was to have met this young man.
But when he turned to look at his granddaughter, he realized that Dugu Yan was staring at Lin Mo with eyes full of joy.
Well, this girl is already completely in love.
Dugu Bo shook his head, but a smile appeared on his face.
Well then, let the young people handle their own affairs.
