Chapter 121: A New External Soul Bone Life Attribute Emerald Eight Spider Lances
The piece of metal quickly began to change. Ripples spread across its surface as it actually started to melt.
From solid to liquid.
A blue-silver fluid flowed out from the Life Gold, radiating life energy ten times richer than before.
"This is…"
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up as she watched from the side.
She had not expected Life Gold to be used in such a way.
After melting, the blue-silver liquid gathered in midair, condensing into a fist-sized sphere of light.
Within the sphere, emerald and silver are intertwined, beautiful like a masterpiece of art.
"Go."
Lin Qingmo tapped forward with a finger. The sphere slowly drifted toward the Eight Spider Lances.
This time, the resistance of the Eight Spider Lances seemed weaker, perhaps because its strength had been depleted by the previous life energy.
Or perhaps it was drawn to the purer life origin within the Life Gold liquid.
After all, the Eight Spider Lances also possessed the ability to absorb life force.
Soon, the liquefied Life Gold seeped into the Eight Spider Lances like water into a sponge.
"It's working!"
Lin Qingmo felt a surge of joy but did not dare relax. He continued guiding the process carefully.
The metallic liquid gradually enveloped every inch of the Eight Spider Lances.
From the sharp tips of the spider legs to the joints to the central spine—all of it was thoroughly infused.
A miraculous transformation began.
The original dark black coloration slowly faded away, replaced by a translucent emerald hue.
The twisted, sinister purple-black poison veins on its surface were smoothed out by the silver metal and reorganized into elegant silver lines.
They flowed naturally like divine runes, radiating a sacred and pure aura.
"It really worked?"
Bibi Dong could not help but whisper in admiration.
She had seen countless soul bones, but never anything like this; it no longer resembled a soul bone at all. It looked more like a priceless work of art.
Sunlight filtered through the forest canopy, falling upon the emerald Eight Spider Lances and refracting into dreamlike halos.
…
Time passed bit by bit.
Lin Qingmo's soul power was draining rapidly. Sweat rolled down his temples, soaking the back of his clothes.
Yet his eyes remained fixed on the Eight Spider Lances without the slightest distraction.
Finally—
When the last drop of liquid Life Gold completely fused into the Eight Spider Lances—
Buzz!
A crisp ringing sound echoed like jade striking jade.
The emerald Eight Spider Lances erupted with dazzling green light.
The light shot into the sky, illuminating an area dozens of meters around them.
An overwhelming tide of life energy swept outward like a storm.
The surrounding trees began to grow visibly before their eyes.
Withered branches sprouted buds. Fallen leaves regained their green color.
It was nothing short of a miracle.
"What an immense life force!"
Even Bibi Dong, standing within the radiance, felt her body and mind soothed.
The green light lasted more than ten seconds before gradually fading.
When the glow fully dissipated, a brand-new Eight Spider Lances hovered before them.
Its entire body was emerald, so translucent that the flowing energy within could be seen.
The eight spider legs were long and elegant, their surfaces covered in fine golden patterns.
Those patterns seemed alive, slowly circulating, emitting a vast, pure, sacred life aura.
There was no trace left of venom or coldness.
Instead, it felt like the very embodiment of forest vitality and nature itself.
"This… succeeded?"
A flash of astonishment crossed Bibi Dong's eyes.
She could clearly sense that the quality of this external soul bone had risen by more than one tier.
If the previous Eight Spider Lances had been rare-grade equipment, this was now legendary-grade.
Lin Qingmo slowly opened his eyes.
His face was pale from exhaustion of soul power, but his eyes shone brightly.
He instinctively reached out and gently touched the emerald Eight Spider Lances.
Warm, gentle energy flowed instantly from his fingertips into his body.
It felt like parched earth receiving rainfall. He shuddered in comfort.
The energy resonated perfectly with his martial soul and his body.
Even his soul seemed to respond.
It worked. It truly worked.
Lin Qingmo was overjoyed.
The result was even better than he had imagined.
"Master, I think I have created something extraordinary."
He turned to Bibi Dong, unable to hide his excitement.
Bibi Dong walked over and carefully examined the emerald Eight Spider Lances.
She reached out to sense it, and her eyes flashed with surprise.
"The quality is extremely high. The life aura is abundant. It matches your martial soul perfectly. Qingmo, are you planning to fuse with it now?"
"Yes."
Lin Qingmo nodded without hesitation, his gaze filled with anticipation.
An external soul bone tailored specifically for him.
Why would he wait?
"Master, I will have to trouble you again to guard me."
He said this somewhat embarrassed. It seemed every time, she was the one protecting him.
"Do not say that."
Bibi Dong gently shook her head and tenderly brushed his hair.
"As long as it concerns you, Ah Qing, it is never trouble."
Her voice was so gentle.
So gentle that Lin Qingmo's heart trembled.
He looked up at her and noticed that beyond the warmth in her eyes, there was something deeper.
Her gaze…
For a moment, he did not feel surprised.
He quickly looked away, daring not to meet her gaze any longer.
Inwardly, he complained wildly:
'Hey, hey, hey, this look is just too much of a foul!'
'Master, do you know that looking at your disciple like that puts enormous pressure on him?'
'Also, what's with this "you are mine" sense of deja vu!'
His heartbeat quickened.
Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the strange emotions rising within him.
Now was not the time for such thoughts. Fusing the soul bone was the priority.
"I am starting."
Bibi Dong nodded.
Lin Qingmo sat cross-legged.
The emerald Eight Spider Lances floated before him, slowly rising under the pull of his soul power, drifting toward his back.
That was the position where external soul bones fuse.
The moment the emerald Eight Spider Lances touched his back—
A miracle occurred.
There was no rejection. No discomfort.
It was as if the Eight Spider Lances had returned home, naturally merging into his body.
The sensation was warm and soothing, like being immersed in a hot spring.
Vast life energy burst forth, nourishing every meridian and every cell within him.
At the same time, the emerald Eight Spider Lances established a deeper connection with his body and martial soul.
This was not a simple attachment.
It was a true fusion. Flesh intertwined. Soul resonating. Even his spiritual power is expanding.
Lin Qingmo could feel each spider leg as if it were an extension of his own body.
He could even see the golden patterns spreading within him, forming a network of life like blood vessels.
They intertwined perfectly with his soul power circuits.
Immersed in the ocean of warmth, he carefully sensed every transformation within himself.
His soul power was rising.
His physique was strengthening.
His spiritual power was growing.
Everything was advancing toward something greater.
