Xiao Wu, seeing the satisfaction in Ye Qiu's eyes regarding the soul bone, had some guesses in her mind.
"Xiao Qiu, are you planning to let Jiang Zhu absorb this soul bone?"
"But isn't the age a bit too low?"
Ning Rongrong frowned.
Having spent so much time with Ye Qiu, their requirements for soul bones had become much higher.
Jiang Zhu, however, stared intently at the soul bone.
She didn't think the age of the soul bone was low.
On the contrary, she felt that having a thousand-year-old soul bone was a very fortunate thing.
Let alone this precious 35,000-year-old extremity bone.
That was something that even a commoner soul master like her, and even most titled Douluo, could only dream of!
She
was incredibly lucky to be able to integrate into Ye Qiu's small circle
and witness the extraordinary, unbelievable miracles of this existence in the soul master world.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at Ning Rongrong, annoyed.
Holding the soul bone in his hand, Ye Qiu explained,
"A soul bone isn't necessarily better the older it is. The best one is the one that suits you, just like Zhu Qing's soul bone. It can bring her a great boost."
Saying this, Ye Qiu looked at Dugu Yan.
"Of course... Yan Yan's might be a bit low-grade. If you need it in the future, Yan Yan, I can get you a different one."
Liu Erlong looked at Ye Qiu in astonishment.
"Ah? Husband, changing soul bones means we have to cut off Yan Yan's hand."
"What? Cut off my hand? Then... then I'd better not!"
Dugu Yan, who had been somewhat tempted, immediately waved her hands repeatedly, her face turning pale with fright.
"Haha... Sister Yan Yan, don't be afraid, brother will definitely make your hand grow back."
Xiao Lan grabbed Dugu Yan's hand, her bright blue eyes looking at her with schadenfreude.
Ye Qiu nodded solemnly, "Yes, Xiao Lan is right, you won't feel any pain."
"Right, right, knock her unconscious before you chop!"
Ning Rongrong was already holding out her hands like a knife, eager to try.
Ye Lingling smiled as she looked at Dugu Yan's frightened face, kindly trying to help her out.
"Ye Qiu, let's talk about this soul bone first."
"Alright, but if Yan Yan has any needs, remember to tell me."
After reminding Dugu Yan, Ye Qiu ended the topic.
He turned his attention back to the torso bone in his hand.
"I just mentioned that the age of a soul bone isn't necessarily better the higher it is, which is naturally because this soul bone's abilities are quite outstanding."
"According to my estimation, the life force contained within this soul bone could probably regenerate limbs in a short time!"
"Such a powerful soul bone is extremely rare, and for a soul master, it can be considered a second life, which is also very suitable for Jiang Zhu."
"Really?"
Jiang Zhu looked at Ye Qiu with surprise.
Her eyes reflected that emerald green, with a hint of longing.
"Of course it's true, Jiangzhu, hurry up and absorb it. Maybe your cultivation can break through again."
Ye Qiu handed over the soul bone.
Jiangzhu carefully put it away, nodding slightly at Ye Qiu.
"Okay, I'll absorb it now."
After Jiangzhu went to the side,
Ye Qiu took out the soul bone produced by the Green Wood Spirit Ape.
It was a right arm bone.
It looked like rotten wood, but after sensing it, Ye Qiu felt it was defensive.
"Lingling, do you want to absorb this soul bone?"
After briefly explaining the effects of the soul bone to Ye Lingling, Ye Qiu left the decision to her.
After all, for a support-type soul master
, having a defensive skill is very good, but considering the characteristics of the Green Wood Spirit Ape, its defensive power isn't very outstanding.
Ye Lingling looked at Ye Qiu and gently tugged at his clothes.
Her voice was soft.
"I'll listen to you."
"Alright then, I'll keep it for you for later use."
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment,
then decided to put the soul bone away first.
An hour passed, and
Jiang Zhu had also finished absorbing the soul bone.
Her soul power cultivation had unsurprisingly reached level forty-five.
The soul bone was indeed as Ye Qiu had predicted,
but the cooldown period was rather long.
At Jiang Zhu's current cultivation level, it would take two years to fully replenish it.
According to Jiang Zhu, the torso bone could autonomously convert soul power into life force during idle time.
When needed, it could be used on herself and others.
When fully replenished, it could even allow a person to regrow their lower body.
With this torso bone,
Jiang Zhu would have a hard time dying unless she suffered a fatal injury.
"Great! In just two days, Lingling and Jiang Zhu have both completed their fourth soul rings!"
Liu Erlong looked at Jiang Zhu, genuinely happy for her.
Then, thinking of the Soul Master Competition less than a month away, her joy deepened.
"Now our Blue Tyrant team is all Soul Masters."
"By the time we head to the Spirit City finals, Yan Yan might even break through to Soul King!"
Dugu Yan patted her ample bosom and assured, "Don't worry, Sister Erlong, I'll definitely be a Soul King by then."
"Hmph! I'll be one sooner or later,"
Ning Rongrong pouted.
"Brother, let's go to the Lake of Life to see Brother Daming and the others."
Xiao Lan clung to Ye Qiu's arm.
She missed the days when Erming took her to the Star Dou Great Forest to cause a ruckus.
"Okay, let's go then." As soon as
Ye Qiu finished speaking,
the girls swarmed over, various fragrant, soft, and different-sized cats snuggling up to him, making Ye Qiu a little distracted.
With a swirling of divine power, Ye Qiu and the others disappeared into the divine power space.
...
More than half a month passed.
Ye Qiu's cultivation had broken through again during this time, and he was now a level 47 Soul Master.
There were only five days left until the Soul Master Competition.
As the grandest Soul Master Tournament in the Soul Master world, it attracts attention not only from Soul Masters themselves.
From royalty and nobility to commoners, every resident of Heaven Dou City treats this tournament as their most important festival.
At this time, Heaven Dou City is gradually becoming more crowded, with a constant stream of tourists.
Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of the young Soul Masters' brilliance at the tournament.
Among the crowd,
a handsome couple stands out. With their
striking blue hair and eyes, the man is exceptionally handsome, and the woman is charming and lovely.
Their aura is remarkably noble.
Ye Qiu is strolling along the street with Xiao Lan.
"Brother, why are there so many people today? They're almost knocking over the old man selling candied hawthorns! Xiao Lan doesn't feel like eating anymore,"
Xiao Lan says, clinging to Ye Qiu's hand, holding a candied hawthorn, unable to bring herself to eat it.
"Why don't you just pick the hawthorn balls off?"
Ye Qiu rolls his eyes.
He takes the candied hawthorn from the candied hawthorn, picks it off for her, and feeds it to her.
"I'll take you to the Crown Prince's residence later. Don't talk nonsense, and don't eat too messily, okay?"
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Lan squinted her eyes, putting the glistening hawthorn Ye Qiu handed her into her mouth.
She even teasingly bit Ye Qiu's fingertip, playfully sticking out her tongue.
