Chapter 146: Forced Detour
Black World, on the way to the Sunset Forest.
"This is too much, truly too much! So many Soul Bones—even if their age is a bit low, you just give them to him because he asks?"
The Second Elder pointed at the screen in the heavenly curtain, his eyes constantly sweeping over Yu Yuanzhen beside him.
That furious look made it seem as if someone had run off with his own family's money.
"Uh... Second Elder, don't look at me. This isn't something that happened in our World."
Yu Yuanzhen felt somewhat helpless under the Second Elder's gaze.
Using someone else's business to scold me, do you have no shame?
Besides...
Yu Yuanzhen looked up at the Yu Xiaogang in the heavenly curtain.
If my own son were as capable as the one on the other side, never mind some low-value ten-year and Hundred-year Spirit Bones...
He would be willing to let him mess around with even a Millennial Spirit Bone.
He would even try to apply for a ten thousand year spirit bone.
Looking at that version of himself in the heavenly curtain looking all huffy, Yu Yuanzhen just wanted to rush up and give the man a beating.
You have such a good son and yet you don't know how to treasure him; you really should experience my life for a bit.
At the thought of his own experiences over the years, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.
Why? Why do I have to be the one to experience this kind of suffering?
"Alright, the events in the heavenly curtain aren't important right now. What matters most is that for this Soul Bone struggle, we must choose a target in advance."
The Grand Elder said in a deep voice.
His words caused the expressions of Yu Yuanzhen and the Second Elder to turn serious.
"The Sunset Forest is that old snake Dugu Bo's nest, and he was the first to get a Soul Bone."
"So, forget about the torso bone; he will definitely refine it himself."
"If I recall correctly, Dugu Bo seems to already have a Skull Spirit Bone, right?"
The Grand Elder looked toward the Second Elder.
"That should be correct. This information came from the Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo."
The Second Elder responded.
"Good. In that case, no matter what, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect must obtain one of the two ten-thousand-year skull Spirit Bones."
"As for the others, we'll see. If it's not feasible, we'll stop there. Regarding this, Sect Master, does anyone have any differing thoughts?"
The Grand Elder looked at everyone.
"None."
Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. This struggle was bound to be extraordinary, so being too greedy was ill-advised.
However, not being greedy didn't mean setting their sights low. As one of the Upper Three Sects, aiming for just one Soul Bone was already a very low expectation for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
The others had no objections either.
Of course, just because they had no designs on the ten-thousand-year bones didn't mean they weren't interested in the Millennial Spirit Bones.
Few among this group possessed a Soul Bone, so being able to obtain any Millennial Spirit Bone would be good news for them.
[The video continues...]
[After exploring the cavern a bit more and seeing that there was absolutely nothing else left, the trio of Yu Xiaogang finally left the underground, still wanting more.]
[When he saw the sun in the sky again, Yu Xiaogang gave his body a vigorous stretch.]
[Looking back at the cavern with lingering affection, this treasure-hunting activity made Yu Xiaogang fully understand why activities like adventuring and treasure hunting were always so popular.]
[Because it was simply too thrilling.]
[Who could have imagined that within that tiny treasure map, there was actually a Treasure Trove of over a hundred Soul Bones hidden away?]
[It can only be said that the Soul Saint who collected the treasure map had truly terrible luck.]
[If he had just persisted and found an opportunity to enter the cave while the Radiant Elemental Dragon was out hunting, he would have found that pile of Soul Bones.]
[In that case, the Douluo Continent would surely have gained one more powerful Soul Douluo.]
[It might not even have been impossible for there to be one more Titled Douluo.]
[Unfortunately, that fellow was chased and beaten by the Radiant Elemental Dragon until his Dao Heart shattered, and he threw the treasure map into his storage space for good.]
[Leaving the cave, the three prepared to return the way they came and leave the Sunset Forest.]
[Yu Yuanzhen led the way while Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong followed behind.]
["Hey, you should put that Soul Bone away. You've been holding it in your hand this whole time—just how happy are you?"]
[Yu Xiaogang glanced at Bibi Dong beside him. Seeing that she was still clutching the Soul Bone, he couldn't help but speak up to remind her.]
["Ah?"]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, looking at him with a somewhat confused gaze.]
["I said, we're traveling; it's better to put the Soul Bone inside your storage soul tool."]
["Right now, you look like a country auntie who's never seen the World."]
["Finally getting something good and feeling like you have to hold it in your hand to feel at peace."]
[Yu Xiaogang said.]
[Hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang's serious expression, then at the Soul Bone in her hand, and suddenly felt a surge of anger.]
["I want to look at it, what's it to you!"]
[After saying that, Bibi Dong went straight past Yu Xiaogang and rushed ahead of Yu Yuanzhen.]
[Looking at Bibi Dong's angry state and his son's bewildered look, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but roll his eyes.]
[You kid, you're truly dense.]
[Just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to say something, suddenly, Bibi Dong ahead of him stopped in her tracks.]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked over and discovered a Soul Beast crouching on a large rock up ahead, sleeping.]
[With its fiery red fur and its quite massive size, one could tell at a glance that this was a fellow not to be trifled with.]
["Is that... a Crimson Flame Tiger?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen quietly stepped forward and carefully scrutinized the tail of the Crimson Flame Tiger.]
[On the fiery red tail, seven rings formed by whitish fur were arranged in sequence.]
["Seven white rings, it's already seventy thousand years old."]
["Let's take a detour."]
[Having identified the age of the Crimson Flame Tiger, Yu Yuanzhen spoke quietly to Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong.]
[They didn't need to hunt this Crimson Flame Tiger right now, so there was no need to engage it in battle.]
[Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong nodded, and the two also quietly retreated, for fear of startling the resting tiger.]
[However, before leaving, Yu Xiaogang still took out a map and recorded the location where this Crimson Flame Tiger appeared.]
[The Crimson Flame Tiger is a fire-attribute Soul Beast, and the fire attribute is a common attribute among the Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent.]
[With the age of this Crimson Flame Tiger, it could perfectly serve as a Soul Master's eighth or even ninth Soul Ring.]
[Usually, Soul Beasts of this age are more easily encountered by going to the Star Dou Great Forest.]
[To see one in a secondary forest like the Sunset Forest was truly very lucky.]
[In any case, for Soul Masters wanting to obtain a Soul Ring of this age, coming to the Sunset Forest is far safer than the Star Dou Great Forest.]
["Another bit of pocket change recorded!"]
[Closing the map, Yu Xiaogang smiled and put it into his storage soul tool.]
