"Grandpa, did you miss Yan Yan?"
Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo with red eyes.
Dugu Bo quickly said, "Of course, Grandpa thinks about our Yan Yan every day these past two years."
"That's more like it!" Dugu Yan pouted.
"Alright, Shi Quan and the others are still watching!" Dugu Bo gently wiped away Dugu Yan's tears.
Shi Quan said with a smile, "Grandpa Dugu, it's been two years, and your body seems to be getting stronger."
Dugu Bo coughed, "If I wasn't a bit stronger, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand the torment of you little rascals."
"But what exactly did you encounter in Dragon Valley that caused such a big change in these three girls' bodies?" Dugu Bo squeezed Dugu Yan's muscles, his eyes filled with shock.
"This is all thanks to the power of the Dragon Soul."
"Dragon Soul?"
"Grandpa Dugu, let's talk as we walk…"
The five continued forward, heading towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Along the way, Shi Quan and the others, one after another, told Dugu Bo everything they had seen and heard in Dragon Valley. Listening to their descriptions, even though Dugu Bo hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he still felt incredibly shocked.
At the same time, they also understood why Dugu Bo was there. Because with Shi Quan's return, the Blue Silver King in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well immediately sensed the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor Tree on Shi Quan's body. Dugu Bo had also received the news from the Blue Silver King, which was why he had rushed over from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without stopping to meet them.
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Dugu, we also brought you a gift." Shi Quan smiled mysteriously, "Grandpa Dugu, guess what it is?"
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, "Could it be that you, little brat, brought me a Dragon Soul?"
"This thing is even more precious than a Dragon Soul." Shi Quan said with a smile as he reached into his hundred treasure pouch. The next second, an incomparable surge of powerful aura burst forth from Shi Quan's chest, and the cold aura seemed to freeze the surrounding space.
"This is!?" Dugu Bo stood frozen in place, his eyes burning as he looked at the bone in Shi Quan's hand.
The bone was purple all over, as crystal clear as glass, with tiny specks of starlight flickering within, giving off a chilling and sinister feeling. The bone was a complete right arm, and with just one glance, one could clearly feel the explosive energy contained within.
Despite the chilling aura, Dugu Bo's entire body's blood was boiling.
"Shi Quan, you said this Spirit Bone is for me?" Dugu Bo asked, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"That's right, this Cold Violet Ice Dragon Right Arm Bone is a true dragon soul bone, much stronger than a 100,000-year Spirit Bone. It contains both ice and poison attributes, perfectly suited for you."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes couldn't help but redden slightly. A true dragon soul bone, a treasure of this level, countless people would fight over it. Shi Quan hadn't absorbed it himself, but had specifically saved one for him. How could he not be moved?
Dugu Bo raised his hand to take it, looking at the Spirit Bone in his hand with fascination and intoxication, but he quickly sobered up. Without much hesitation, he handed the Spirit Bone in his hand to Dugu Yan, "Forget it, this true dragon soul bone should be given to Yan Yan. I'm an old man, even if I take this Spirit Bone, the improvement will be limited. It's better to give it to Yan Yan so she can go further than me, an old man, in the future."
"Grandpa." Dugu Yan's eyes reddened again upon hearing this.
Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing also looked at this scene with envy, their expressions a little downcast.
In their past lives, they had never experienced what family affection was, and now they saw it in Dugu Bo.
Shi Quan gently took Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing's hands and said to Dugu Bo, "Grandpa Dugu, this true dragon soul bone was specially prepared for you, so there's no need to decline."
Dugu Yan also noticed the emotional changes in Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing and immediately said, "Alright, Grandpa, I can't absorb this Spirit Bone. This is specifically saved for you by Shi Quan, so don't be polite with him."
"You're thoughtful." Seeing this, Dugu Bo stepped forward and patted Shi Quan's shoulder before putting the Spirit Bone into his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
There was still some distance to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so he would have to wait until they reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb it.
However, they were not far from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. In less than fifteen minutes, the group of five had already arrived outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo had set up new poison formations around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but they were more concealed than before, blending in with the surrounding environment. Not only were the poison formations stronger, but the overall effect was natural and seamless.
"Emperor, you've finally returned!" As soon as they arrived at the peak of the mountain near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the human face of the Blue Silver King appeared.
"Yin Lao, I may need your power now." Shi Quan looked up at the Blue Silver King.
Upon hearing this, there was no melancholy on the Blue Silver King's human face; instead, there was more excitement and exhilaration. "Emperor, are you finally going to accept my power? I can feel that your Bloodline seems to have been promoted again. It is my honor to become your power!"
A tremor came from the mountain peak. The next second, the Blue Silver King's intertwined roots were pulled out from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The vines gently patted the mountain peak, flying up and almost instantly landing in front of Shi Quan.
The thick vines gently landed on Shi Quan's body, and an invisible fluctuation suddenly bloomed from the Blue Silver King's body. The next second, a dazzling red light suddenly spread from the center of the vines, turning into a circle of red halo that instantly expanded. Wherever the red light passed, everything was dyed blood-red. Everything, at this moment, also came to a standstill.
"What is this?" The three girls stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
Dugu Bo also stood frozen in place. Perhaps the three girls hadn't reacted, but how could he not have seen it? The Blue Silver King was actually sacrificing itself!
In that red light, everything became absolutely still. Even Dugu Bo, as a Titled Douluo, could not move.
Shi Quan also hadn't expected Yin Lao to be so proactive. He hadn't even reacted yet when Yin Lao had already begun the sacrifice directly, with a speed that exceeded imagination.
At this moment, the Blue Silver King had completely turned red, a crystal clear dark red.
Red flames began to rise, emerging from every vine.
That was not fire, but a very special blood flame. And what was burning within it was the Blue Silver King's Life and its 100,000 years of Cultivation.
Looking at the magnificent and shocking scene before them, Dugu Bo and the three girls' eyes were somewhat dazed.
The blood flames burned brighter and brighter, gradually turning from red to dark red, and the Blue Silver King also gradually began to fade.
All the red expanded into a huge circle and then slowly contracted.
Shi Quan's right hand also uncontrollably and autonomously appeared. The Blue Silver Emperor Tree appeared in his hand, and four spirit rings flickered beneath him.
"Emperor, your power has indeed ascended again. It is my honor that you chose me to be one of your powers!" The Blue Silver King's voice still held an irrepressible excitement, as if it was worried Shi Quan would regret it, wishing to become Shi Quan's spirit ring as soon as possible.
On Shi Quan's body surface, blue, gold, and red lights constantly alternated and flashed.
However, the next second, a black and white light burst from Shi Quan's body, covering these three lights. Then, a black light, like a chain, flew out from Shi Quan's glabella, binding the Blue Silver King's dark red vines. As the black light contracted, a miniature version of the Blue Silver King appeared, and then the black light merged into Shi Quan's glabella.
At the same time, the surging blood flame ring suddenly retracted, in an instant.
Shi Quan's body emitted a series of explosive sounds. Just as the Blue Silver King gradually disappeared, his original four spirit rings appeared one by one. And that blood-red fifth ring condensed around his body.
A 100,000-year Fifth spirit ring!
At the same time, a sky-blue light fell into Shi Quan's hand; it was the leg bone that remained after the Blue Silver King's sacrifice.
Shi Quan held the leg bone in his hand without any hesitation, directly throwing this Blue Silver King Spirit Bone and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone together into the Spirit Bone Modifier in the hundred treasure pouch. A 100,000-year Blue Silver King Spirit Bone plus a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, these two Spirit Bones combined would definitely be the most suitable Spirit Bone for the Blue Silver Emperor Tree!
According to Shi Quan's understanding of the Spirit Bone Modifier, it would take roughly a week for two 100,000-year Spirit Bones to fuse.
The speed of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast's sacrifice is very fast. The immense power will quickly transform into the most suitable energy for the sacrificial target in a short period of time.
"Shi Quan, what is your spirit power Rank now?" Dugu Bo was the first to recover from the scene of the sacrifice and asked curiously.
"I'm already Rank 60," Shi Quan said with a smile.
His Rank 60 was his Rank before the sacrifice. Now that he had accepted the power of the Blue Silver King's 100,000-year sacrifice, his Rank would only be higher.
Shi Quan also had some expectations, wondering how many Ranks his strength would Breakthrough to after absorbing the Sixth spirit ring.
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, "Is the power of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast sacrifice so strong? You just broke through to Rank 50 and immediately reached Rank 60?"
"No, Grandpa Dugu, actually my strength had already broken through Rank 50. Although the power of the 100,000-year sacrifice also provided a boost, it wasn't that exaggerated. At the Rank 50 stage, it would at most increase by seven or eight Ranks, that's about it."
"Seven or eight Ranks is still very exaggerated, alright," Dugu Bo clicked his tongue and said, "When I was Cultivating, it took me almost five years to Breakthrough from Rank 51 to Rank 60. When you were this age, I was still just a Spirit Elder, quite a distance from Spirit Ancestor. You, little brat, are almost a Spirit Emperor now. Can't compare, can't compare."
"Of course, and look who Shi Quan is." Dugu Yan excitedly stepped forward.
Dugu Bo couldn't help but shake his head upon hearing this. His own granddaughter was clearly showing favoritism.
Dugu Yan looked at the 100,000-year spirit ring floating beneath Shi Quan with burning eyes, "But Shi Quan, why did Yin Lao suddenly sacrifice himself to you?"
