Chapter 22 The Right Leg Bone of the 100,000-Year-Old Blue Silver Emperor
Dugu Lin turned to another page and said, "The second immortal herb I've chosen for my sister is Narcissus of Jade Skin and Bones. Its function is to nourish tendons and bones and to unblock the seven meridians and eight extraordinary vessels, thus providing my sister with the strongest foundation. The plan is to let my sister take it after she reaches level fifty."
"Hmm, this celestial herb is also excellent." Dugu Bo looked at the record in the Immortal Herb Catalogue and was extremely satisfied.
"Grandpa, the second celestial treasure I've prepared for you is from the Agility Clan, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. It can reshape your physical body and rejuvenate you. At that time, your strength will surely advance further, and it may even allow the Jade Phosphor Serpent King to evolve again."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo stroked the small tuft of beard on his chin and murmured, "Hmm~~ After I help you and Yan'er obtain the soul rings, I will arrange a marriage for Yan'er first. After that, I will go to Hanhai City and the nearby coastal cities to purchase a batch of Whale Glue. After that... I can start working on the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the Agility Clan's affairs."
"Ahem~~ Grandpa, let's prioritize peace and get our hands on the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng first. The fate of the Agility Clan is irrelevant; the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is more important. Besides, what if we could trick Yang Wudi into coming here to refine pills for us, grandpa and grandson? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Regardless of how things eventually turned out, Dugu Lin still wanted to lure Yang Wudi over first and have him work for a few years. If Yang Wudi could develop the alchemy technique, he would make a huge profit.
If, in the end, Yang Wudi were to turn against him for the sake of the Strength Clan and the Agility Clan, Dugu Lin wouldn't hesitate to discard him after he had served his purpose. He would ensure the complete annihilation of the Strength Clan.
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "That makes sense. Lin'er, what you said makes sense. We can't let hatred blind us."
"By the way, Grandpa, have you bought enough Whale Glue? My sister's second soul ring needs to be absorbed safely, at least a soul ring over six thousand years old."
Due to the body's resistance to Whale Glue, a large amount of Whale Glue is needed to increase the soul ring's tolerance limit from five thousand years to six thousand years.
Dugu Lin suddenly mentioned Whale Glue, which made Dugu Bo's face turn dark.
"Inhale Exhale"
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and exuded a murderous aura. He said in a sinister tone, "I don't know which bastard spread the word that I bought a large amount of Whale Glue. If I catch him, I will tear him to pieces."
"Cough cough~~"
Dugu Lin coughed twice guiltily and asked, "Grandpa, I'm just asking you, did Prince Xue Xing give you a piece of Whale Glue that's over 70,000 years old? Please let me refine this Whale Glue, because ordinary-quality Whale Glue is no longer useful to me."
In the current Douluo Continent, high-quality Whale Glue is privately hoarded by nobles. When pharmacies manage to acquire a piece of high-quality Whale Glue, it is often given as a gift to the nobles.
"Lin'er, how did you know about 70,000-year-old Whale Glue?!"
Dugu Bo spoke slowly and deliberately, his eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint as he looked at Dugu Lin.
"Ha... hahaha~~~ Eh? Sister, you've come out of seclusion!"
"Yan'er?"
Dugu Bo immediately changed his expression and turned to look at the empty entrance of the cultivation room.
In an instant, Dugu Bo realized that he had been tricked by his grandson. He turned around and saw his grandson running away.
"You little rascal! It really was you, you little rascal!"
Dugu Bo's soul power transformed into a giant hand, grabbing Dugu Lin, who was about to escape, and pulling him back.
"Lin'er, according to what you said, you were a spoiled brat before you were reborn and had no practical combat experience, right?"
"Grandpa... Grandpa, can you not laugh so scary?"
Dugu Bo said with a smile, "Grandpa is doing this for your own good. After you obtain your second Spirit ring, Grandpa will help you improve your combat experience."
Dugu Lin shuddered instantly, as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake.
'My grandfather is indeed a venomous snake, and a highly venomous one at that, the Jade Phosphor Serpent King!' Dugu Lin thought bitterly as he took a beating.
Even after being beaten, Dugu Lin still managed to get his hands on the Whale Glue that was over 70,000 years old. He murmured, "With this Whale Glue and the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, getting a soul ring over 8,000 years old is no problem at all. A soul ring over 9,000 years old should be the limit. 9,500 years old would be a bit risky."
Having consumed countless Whale Glue before, the body's drug tolerance had rapidly increased. Even Whale Glue that was over 70,000 years old could only increase the tolerance limit by about 1,000 years.
Overall, his physical strength had increased to over nine thousand years.
Evening.
Dugu Yan finally refined the right arm bone of the 30,000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider, and her soul power increased from level 16 to level 18.
It turned out that it was a soul bone that had never been absorbed by anyone. Within the soul bone was a huge reserve of soul power, which a Spirit Master could use to improve soul power cultivation after absorbing it.
In a short period of time, Dugu Yan's soul power level broke through several times in succession, making her quite proud.
The three of them then headed directly to the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes without waiting for the next day.
Holding Dugu Bo and flying through the air, Dugu Lin asked in confusion, "Grandpa, can a Spirit Master increase Spirit Power by absorbing Soul Bones?"
Dugu Bo explained, "Under normal circumstances, the inherited soul bones of some major sects cannot increase a Spirit Master's Spirit Power. However, if the soul bone is freshly obtained from a soul beast, it contains immense Spirit Power and can increase a Spirit Master's Spirit Power level. Therefore, soul bones freshly obtained from a soul beast are more than fifty percent more expensive than inherited soul bones of the same quality. This is partly because the probability of a soul beast dropping a soul bone is extremely low. Grandpa was lucky; he only managed to get a precious head soul bone when he hunted Medusa with his eighth soul ring."
"I see."
Dugu Lin nodded, smiled thoughtfully, and said, "I remember that Tang San's mother was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor soul beast in human form. Tang Hao hid a 100,000-year-old right leg bone in a cave behind a waterfall near Holy Soul Village."
"What did you say?!"
"The right leg bone of a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor?!"
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both startled.
Dugu Lin did not answer but instead laughed and said, "Hahaha~~ Grandpa, let's steal the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone in a few years."
"Good!"
Dugu Bo agreed with unusual firmness. He was determined to get this soul bone and was prepared to fight Tang Hao at the last minute.
Dugu Lin was also determined to obtain this soul bone.
This was related to whether he could raise the issue of adding a new soul ring to his second Spirit.
The limitation of having twin Spirits is that a Spirit Master cannot attach soul rings to both Spirits at the same time. Otherwise, the backlash from the soul ring attributes of the two Spirits would be too much for the Spirit Master's body to bear, and he would explode and die.
The best solution was to improve the physical fitness of Spirit Masters, and obtaining high-quality Soul Bones was one way to do this.
Soon, the three arrived at the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes. Dugu Bo said, "Lin'er, find the Earth Dragon Golden Melon first, and then give it to Yan'er to eat."
"Um."
Dugu Lin agreed and walked in one direction, which was where the Earth Dragon Golden Melon was located.
