Treasure Comes Knocking
After his vision warped, Su Tianyu's spirit returned to the outside world. Wang Shan, who had just been sprawled helplessly in the mire of the illusion, fell forward, his face slamming heavily into the mud.
Seeing that Wang Shan was dead, he stepped forward and flipped the corpse over, laying him flat on his back. Then he carefully searched the things on his body.
When he saw a circular bracelet around Wang Shan's left wrist, Su Tianyu's eyes lit up. He didn't have a Storage Soul Tool of his own. Could the bracelet Wang Shan wore be a Soul Tool with a storage function?
He stepped forward, removed it, and put it on his own wrist. Su Tianyu infused the bracelet with Soul Power, and to his surprise, the Soul Power was drawn inside as soon as it touched the bracelet. He couldn't help bursting into delighted laughter.
"Wang Shan, oh, Wang Shan, thank you for the Storage Soul Tool. How did you know I was still short a Soul Tool?"
He probed the space inside the bracelet with his mind and found that it was a full cubic meter in size. The discovery delighted him even more.
In the Douluo I era, Soul Tools were exceptionally precious and scarce. An ordinary one-cubic-meter Storage Soul Tool could be priced at around ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, and the final sale price was often considerably higher. Su Tianyu was immensely grateful for the gift Wang Shan had sent him.
He took out the personal belongings Wang Shan had kept inside the bracelet, leaving only three thousand Gold Soul Coins in the storage space. Light flashed across the bracelet's surface, and Wang Shan's belongings appeared outside one by one.
He wrapped the things he had brought with him in Soul Power. A glimmer of light emerged from the bracelet, and the objects of varying sizes before him slowly shrank, turning into specks of light that entered the bracelet.
"Haha, what a convenient and simple Storage Soul Tool. It's an essential item for going out to hunt Soul Beasts."
Su Tianyu looked at his personal belongings that had vanished before his eyes and sent his mind into the space inside the bracelet. He found his belongings arranged in one corner of the space.
Looking at the corpse not far away, he gathered Wang Shan's clothes and personal belongings he had just taken out of the Soul Tool, quickly tied them into a bundle, and carried it in his hand. Then he strode over to the corpse, reached out with his right hand, and hoisted it onto his shoulder before heading for the outskirts of Heavenly Eye Forest again.
Half an hour later...
Su Tianyu arrived at a den where Wind Demon Wolves gathered. Looking at the dozens of green eyes that opened inside, he casually gave Wang Shan's corpse and belongings a forceful toss into the cave.
Bang!
The corpse slammed heavily into the Wind Demon Wolves' den. Looking at his handiwork, he nodded in satisfaction. Heavenly Eye Forest was the best cleaning tool, and he believed the Wind Demon Wolves would help him clean up the traces of the corpse he had just thrown in.
Inside the cave, the Wind Demon Wolves watched the figure above walk away, their green eyes fixed on the meat that had just fallen. Their open jaws were full of fangs, and drool dripped constantly from their mouths. After a low wolf howl, dozens of Wind Demon Wolves rushed to the corpse and fought over the meat.
Su Tianyu had not gone far when he heard the sounds of tearing and the crunch of bones being gnawed inside the den. A knowing smile appeared on his face. He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and moved like a ghost, heading out of Heavenly Eye Forest without looking back.
In the outskirts of Heavenly Eye Forest, a figure flashed swiftly through the dense woods from time to time, gradually approaching the forest entrance.
As Su Tianyu ran, he considered his next goal. He would soon graduate from Heaven Lake Intermediate Academy, and his next goal was to head to Sunset Forest and obtain Immortal Herbs.
The first method is to approach Dugu Bo directly. With the complete text of Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, I can treat Dugu Bo's poison according to the Tang Sect Poison Scripture. Unfortunately, the risk is simply too great. Dugu Bo is neither wholly righteous nor wholly evil. He might have become Tang San's friend despite their difference in age in the original story, but Tang San had Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect backing him. What does a commoner like me have? I'm afraid that after I finish treating Dugu Bo's poison, that old poison master will use Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison to make me disappear from the face of the earth.
The second method is to enroll in Heaven Dou Royal Academy and approach Dugu Yan. Once I've gained her favor, I can treat her poison, then approach Dugu Bo through her. The risk will be much smaller, though there's no guarantee it will be completely risk-free. Compared with the first method, the risk is within a controllable range. I just don't know whether Yu Tianheng has won Dugu Yan over yet.
The third method is to steal them. My Martial Soul has spatial abilities. When I obtain my third Soul Ring, I can obtain one from a spatial-type Soul Beast and gain a Soul Skill that lets me move or travel through space. That way, not only can I ensure my own safety, I can also steal the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It's one of the perfect, best methods.
After running through the forest for half an hour, Su Tianyu reached the side of the main road. Seeing a carriage speeding slowly toward him from not far away, he immediately raised his simulated Soul Rings from beneath his feet. Two yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings circled around him.
"A Lord Soul Master!"
The coachman driving the carriage saw the figure who had appeared a short distance ahead and cried out in surprise. He involuntarily pulled on the reins, bringing the carriage slowly to a stop.
"Coachman, what's going on? Why have you stopped the carriage? I'm in a hurry to get to Suotuo City on business. If you waste my time, you won't be able to compensate me for my losses."
The low voice of a middle-aged man came from inside the carriage as he berated the coachman outside.
"Sir, I'm sorry. A Lord Soul Master has appeared on the road ahead. I wouldn't dare offend a Soul Master, so I took it upon myself to stop the carriage. I hope you can understand the difficult position I'm in."
His face full of apology, the coachman hurriedly explained himself to the passenger inside the carriage.
"A Soul Master?" After uttering those two words, the voice inside the carriage fell silent.
Before long, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a fleshy middle-aged man poked his head out. His eyes were full of wariness as he stared fixedly at the figure on the road ahead.
Seeing that the coachman had sensibly stopped the carriage not far away, Su Tianyu was very pleased with his conduct. Listening to the two men's conversation and the respect in the coachman's words about Soul Masters, he couldn't help nodding.
But the middle-aged man merely lifted the curtain and did nothing else. He didn't even get out of the carriage and greet him with a fawning smile, which left Su Tianyu feeling a measure of admiration.
When he had checked just now, he had detected no fluctuations of Soul Power inside the carriage, indicating that this middle-aged man was only an ordinary commoner. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
After pondering for a moment, Su Tianyu's eyes involuntarily grew greedy. How could a commoner dare show such great disrespect to a Soul Master? He must have some treasure unknown to others to rely on.
I didn't expect this trip to Heavenly Eye Forest to be so extraordinarily fruitful. I only stopped a carriage at random, and a treasure came knocking on my door!
