Chapter 123: Yue Guan Gains a Soul Bone, and Yu Xiaogang Reaches Level Thirty
"So, that treasure map belongs to me now?"
Yu Xiaogang said with great interest.
He took out the Soul Saint's Diary and, after some searching, finally found the treasure map.
The yellowed paper bore a simple drawing. Though simple, the information on it was quite comprehensive.
"It's quite old. Who knows what kind of treasure is at the location marked on this map?"
Shaking his head, Yu Xiaogang stored the treasure map back into his storage soul tool.
He would check what treasure this map concealed later, when he went to the Sunset Forest.
In the days that followed, Yu Xiaogang once again immersed himself in the daily routine of Cultivating, studying, studying, and Cultivating.
This time, however, he also added a new item to his daily schedule: participating in Spirit Fighting matches together with Bibi Dong.
During this period, Yu Xiaogang encountered two more groups of people who wanted to kidnap him. However, these two groups were far inferior to Blood Hand's gang, basically just some brainless commoner Soul Masters.
Facing these people, Lin Lang didn't even need to show himself; Yu Xiaogang alone was more than enough to resolve the fight.
After the battles ended, Yu Xiaogang followed his usual routine of looting the bodies. Unfortunately, these two groups weren't as wealthy. From them, Yu Xiaogang only found some gold coin.
Bibi Dong was quite disappointed about this for a while.
It's worth mentioning that the Soul Bone Bibi Dong and the others had obtained was originally something Qian Xunji intended to give directly to Bibi Dong.
However, because of Yu Xiaogang's words, Bibi Dong developed a certain aversion to this Soul Bone, the specifics of which were unknown.
She still wanted to catch up to Yu Xiaogang. If he wouldn't accept a Soul Bone that didn't suit him, what if she just absorbed one casually and it only provided a tiny boost?
Thus, Bibi Dong refused the Soul Bone.
Bibi Dong's refusal stunned Qian Xunji. He never expected his Disciple to have such thoughts.
After asking for the specific reason, Qian Xunji found Yu Xiaogang's ideas somewhat laughable.
"Wanting a Soul Bone that perfectly suits you? He truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
In Qian Xunji's view, Yu Xiaogang had simply been spoiled rotten by Yu Yuanzhen. One should be grateful to have a Soul Bone at all, and yet he was being picky?
So, Qian Xunji began trying to persuade Bibi Dong. Unfortunately, Bibi Dong had already made up her mind; she didn't want to fall too far behind Yu Xiaogang.
In the end, a helpless Qian Xunji could only award this ten thousand year spirit bone to Yue Guan, who didn't have a single Soul Bone on his body.
Of course, in terms of closeness, Qian Xunji was undoubtedly more intimate with his direct subordinates, the two Douluo, Dragon Scale and Iron Wall.
But it couldn't be helped; both of them already had Soul Bones in the same corresponding body positions.
So, moving down the order of precedence, it naturally fell to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who possessed the potential to become Titled Douluo.
"Many thanks for Your Holiness the Pope's reward!"
Looking at the Soul Bone now in his possession, Yue Guan's voice trembled with excitement.
Finally, he finally had a Soul Bone of his very own.
While thanking Qian Xunji for the reward, Yue Guan's heart was also filled with gratitude towards Yu Xiaogang.
Because Yu Xiaogang had been attacked, they had the opportunity to obtain this Soul Bone.
And because of Yu Xiaogang's remarks, Bibi Dong had refused to accept this Soul Bone.
In other words, for being able to obtain this Soul Bone, he really owed Yu Xiaogang a great deal of thanks.
"He's interested in the Ancient Texts I have. I'll make a copy and send it to him."
Yue Guan thought to himself.
Thus, not long after, Yu Xiaogang received Yue Guan's gift of thanks, and this gift proved to be of great use in the future.
Of course, that's a story for later.
In the third month after Yu Xiaogang sent the letter to his father, he received a reply regarding the matter.
Upon learning that the Sunset Forest housed a Soul Beast suitable for Yu Xiaogang's third spirit ring, and that it was a powerful Soul Beast like the Radiant Elemental Dragon, Yu Yuanzhen immediately set out personally without another word.
After searching the Sunset Forest, that Radiant Elemental Dragon was found.
What surprised Yu Xiaogang even more was that when it was found, that Radiant Elemental Dragon's age had already reached the ten-thousand-year mark, becoming a genuine Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.
A ten-thousand-year Radiant Elemental Dragon, in terms of pure combat power, was a regional overlord even within the Sunset Forest.
But unfortunately, the Radiant Elemental Dragon, which had no rivals within the Sunset Forest, encountered an opponent from outside it.
After a battle, the Radiant Elemental Dragon was captured alive by Yu Yuanzhen and placed under the care of Sect experts at the edge of the Sunset Forest, waiting only for Yu Xiaogang to Breakthrough to level thirty so he could go and obtain its Soul Ring.
Upon receiving this news, Yu Xiaogang was so happy for several days that he couldn't stop smiling.
And in order to reach level thirty sooner, Yu Xiaogang began to devote himself to Cultivating with all his might, squeezing Little Dragon's time so much that it was filled with resentment.
However, compared to studying, Little Dragon still preferred meditative Cultivation.
Through Yu Xiaogang's diligent and hard work cultivation, finally, not long after Yu Xiaogang celebrated his twelfth birthday, his Soul Power reached level thirty.
Feeling his Soul Power had reached level thirty, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist, feeling power coursing through his entire body.
"Finally reached level thirty."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Little Dragon beside him and patted its head.
Having its head patted, Little Dragon narrowed its eyes and then burrowed into Yu Xiaogang's embrace.
"Judging by the previous two times, if things proceed normally this time, you're going to grow larger again."
"When that happens, you won't be able to curl up in my arms like this anymore."
Yu Xiaogang said with a smile.
He could already imagine Little Dragon becoming large enough to blot out the sky. Although that would indeed look majestic, they wouldn't be able to interact as intimately as they do now.
One could say there were gains and losses.
Unaware of Yu Xiaogang's thoughts, Little Dragon tilted its head, not bothering with unnecessary concerns. Compared to Yu Xiaogang's musings about the future, Little Dragon clearly focused more on the present moment.
With his Soul Power at level thirty, Yu Xiaogang requested leave from the academy and prepared to head to the Sunset Forest with Lin Lang.
Before setting off, Yu Xiaogang first sent a letter to his father, as Yu Yuanzhen had instructed him to do long ago.
Once Yu Xiaogang reached level thirty, he was to write to him immediately so he could also come to the Sunset Forest to ensure Yu Xiaogang's absorption of his third spirit ring went smoothly.
With everything prepared, Yu Xiaogang and Lin Lang had just rented a Carriage and were about to depart when, at that moment, Bibi Dong suddenly appeared before Yu Xiaogang dressed in outdoor attire.
"I'm coming with you. I want to see the process of you absorbing your third spirit ring with my own eyes!"
Looking at Bibi Dong blocking the Carriage's path, Yu Xiaogang felt a headache coming on.
Your Holiness the Pope, where are you?
Do you even know your Disciple is missing?
