Yuwen Tuo considered for a moment. Among the people he knew, the soul master most suitable for this soul bone was, of course, Vina, who also possessed the Snow Lotus martial soul. Next were Ling Luochen, who was also ice-attributed, and Xiao Xiao, who had extremely strong control and support abilities.
In terms of compatibility, Vina was the most suitable, but emotionally, Yuwen Tuo still leaned more towards Ling Luochen and Xiao Xiao. They could be considered the closest people to Yuwen Tuo in this world, aside from his deceased grandparents.
"Ice Empress is right. There will be plenty of opportunities to obtain 100,000-year soul bones in the future. There's no need to rush to absorb this one, which isn't compatible with me," Yuwen Tuo said, putting the soul bone into his soul tool.
At this moment, he was in a good mood. Since his luck began to awaken, everything around him had changed. He was no longer unlucky, everything went smoothly, and due to more than ten years of accumulated strength, his outburst was extremely powerful.
If it were before, he would never have obtained something as good as a 700,000-year external soul bone, or even a 100,000-year torso bone, which he could pick up so casually. Even Huo Yuhao, after Heavenly Dream Iceworm and Electrolux, might not have such luck.
He did not return to Gengxin City but directly rushed to the Star Dou Great Forest. Poison Douluo would need at least a few more months to emerge from his seclusion, and Iron Palm Douluo would definitely need to protect him. Yuwen Tuo couldn't wait that long.
He believed that when he reached a bottleneck, he should break through as soon as possible. This was a simple and unadorned world. Soul rings and soul bones were important, but soul power was the foundation of everything; strong soul power was paramount.
Just like when Wang Xian'er suppressed Ma Xiaotao, in terms of attack power, the support-type Wang Xian'er could never compare to Ma Xiaotao's Ultimate Fire. But she was able to temporarily suppress Ma Xiaotao's soul power with the vast soul power of a Titled Douluo, preventing Ma Xiaotao from even unleashing her Ultimate Fire.
Therefore, Yuwen Tuo needed to immediately obtain his fourth ring. As for the Third Elder, he would simply confess his sins to him later. Besides, he didn't lie; he didn't go as far as the Sun and Moon Empire. The Star Dou Great Forest was still much closer than the Sun and Moon Empire, right?
It wouldn't take long to travel from Gengxin City to the Star Dou Great Forest, as this was originally a border city. Within two days, Yuwen Tuo had already ventured deep into the forest. He could be considered bold due to his high skill.
Although he was only at level 40, he was actually a six-ring soul master, with two fierce beast soul rings among them. An ordinary Soul Emperor would simply not be his match.
And the fourth ring he needed, of the fire attribute, would need to be at least 30,000 to 40,000 years old. Soul beasts of this level rarely appeared in the outer regions anymore, so he had to go deeper.
Yuwen Tuo walked straight towards the south. The south was associated with fire, and searching for fire-attributed soul beasts there would be much more effective.
"Little Tuo, we sisters aren't too familiar with fire-type soul beasts. Have you decided what kind you want?" Snow Empress asked.
Yuwen Tuo replied, "I've decided. My first three soul skills respectively enhanced my attack power, speed, and defense. So for my fourth soul skill, I hope it can enhance my strength, soul power, or attribute power."
"Little Tuo, this type of soul beast isn't hard to find. I have a method. Your pure fire is inherently something many fire-attributed soul beasts love the most.
Why not try luring soul beasts with the scent of pure fire? But there's a very dangerous aspect to this: it might attract a large number of powerful soul beasts. If you choose to do this, you must be fully prepared," Ice Empress reminded him.
"I understand, Ice Empress. I also thought of a method to lure soul beasts, but not with pure fire. As you said, that would attract a large group. If I could lure them in a targeted way, it would be much more convenient and safer," Yuwen Tuo said with a smile.
He was a genius when it came to soul beast knowledge. For the past six years, bored, he had read all the books Ling Luochen had found for him to pass the time. This included a soul beast atlas. There was a type of soul beast that was quite suitable for him now: the Blood Demon Mad Bear,
also known as the Bloodthirsty Flame Demon Bear. The Bloodthirsty Flame Demonic Claw Bear soul bone that Ma Xiaotao had originally intended to give Yuwen Tuo possessed the Blood Demon Mad Bear's bloodline.
Yuwen Tuo knew exactly what kind of living environment the Blood Demon Mad Bear preferred, which areas they generally frequented, and how to lure them.
He journeyed until he reached a dense forest with a large waterfall nearby. Yuwen Tuo knew this was the place. Opening his soul tool, he actually took out a large pile of ingredients: eels, honey, duck blood, and more.
He had prepared these long ago. That's right, what he was going to do today was the same method Tang San used to lure soul beasts with a fragrant scent, except instead of immortal herb fragrance, he would use the aroma of food.
The Blood Demon Mad Bear had peculiar tastes. They liked both sweet and spicy, and their most enticing foods were fish, honey, and blood.
Therefore, Yuwen Tuo was going to prepare two dishes today: one was roasted eel with honey sauce, and the other was spicy Mao Xuewang. He guaranteed that these would make the Blood Demon Mad Bears drool.
Bears were solitary animals. Except during mating season and when raising cubs, adult bears spent most of their time alone. The Blood Demon Mad Bear was no exception, so the number lured would not be too large, significantly increasing safety.
Thinking it, he did it. Yuwen Tuo immediately began operating by the lake. His cooking skills were a hundred times stronger than his soul master abilities. If chefs also had a grading system like soul masters, he would certainly have reached the "Titled Chef" level by now.
After cleaning and slicing the eel into thick pieces, he evenly coated them with honey and added other seasonings before grilling, all in one smooth motion. He also perfectly controlled the stir-frying and ingredients for the Mao Xuewang.
"Gulp!" In Yuwen Tuo's spiritual sea, the Snow Empress unconsciously swallowed. Although she was currently a soul body and strictly speaking had no saliva, she was simply craving.
"Bing'er, tell me, if I were to act now and contend with that little loli named Xiao Xiao for little Tuo, do I have a chance?"
"Yes, but not a big one." Ice Empress could not deny Snow Empress's charm, but she clearly felt that Yuwen Tuo had truly fallen for Xiao Xiao.
Even for Snow Empress, it would probably be very difficult to steal his affection. She knew that Snow Empress's race leaned towards humans, not just in aesthetics, but also in their views on love, choosing a mate, and even taste.
Snow Empress didn't like spicy food, so the Mao Xuewang dish wasn't very tempting to her. But she absolutely loved sweets, and this honey-glazed eel probably hit her sweet spot,
especially the chilled fish jelly after a night, which was always her favorite. Her son, Little Bai, often caught fish for her, so she truly had a bear that could catch fish, thus having the best of both worlds (fish and bear's paw).
Soon, two supremely delicious dishes were ready. Yuwen Tuo waved his palm, conjuring a strong gust of wind with his soul power, blowing the aroma of the dishes in all directions. Soon, he felt the ground shake.
A series of massive footsteps approached. Yuwen Tuo knew that something big was coming. He leaped into the lake behind him, his body sinking into the water. After all, he didn't know what was coming, so concealing his body and scent in the lake water would be much safer.
