Ling Luochen picked up the emerald-green Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone, sat cross-legged on the ground, and channeled the Soul Power within her body to guide the soul bone into merging with herself.
Under the influence of her Soul Power, the Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone melted into a pool of emerald-green liquid and slowly seeped into her left arm.
Everyone quietly waited for Ling Luochen's fusion. Ma Xiaotao tucked a lock of crimson hair behind her ear, her gaze toward Ling Luochen carrying a trace of unreadable emotion as she asked Ling Bai in a low voice:
