Chapter 104: Ah Yin
After Qian Renxue agreed to his outdoor training, Pei Qing bid farewell to the women and left the next day.
Ten days passed in a flash...
Holy Soul Village was a small village near the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
There wasn't a single Soul Master in the village; it was a normal Mortal village where the villagers worked diligently from dawn till dusk.
However, a few years ago, a child who brought pride to the village emerged from it.
That child was named Tang San, the son of the blacksmith Tang Hao. He awakened his Martial Soul at the age of six and surprisingly possessed Innate full Soul Power.
Pei Qing walked into Holy Soul Village and nodded as he observed the village's environment.
It was much like any ordinary village, not wealthy, and it was even more impossible for the villagers to eat their fill. Generally, they could be described as sallow and emaciated.
"Outsider, who are you? What are you doing in our Holy Soul Village?"
As Pei Qing walked through Holy Soul Village, he was quickly stopped by a thin, somewhat dark-skinned old man.
The old man, seeing Pei Qing, immediately came before him, leaning on his cane, and asked curiously while sizing him up.
"I am a traveling cultivator. My dream is to explore the entire Douluo Continent, and I happened to pass by today."
Pei Qing smiled and spoke, looking at the thin old man in front of him with a hint of recollection in his eyes.
This should be the legendary Old Jack, the old man who was hailed in his previous life as having nurtured countless God Kings.
"Exploring the Douluo Continent? You must be a Soul Master, young man."
"Only Soul Masters can have such grand dreams. By the way, young man, do you know Xiao San? His name is Tang San, a Genius with Innate full Soul Power."
Old Jack looked at Pei Qing with reverence. In the eyes of ordinary people, Soul Masters were lofty and important figures.
"Tang San? I don't know him..."
"However, those with Innate full Soul Power are top-tier geniuses. In the future, they might even successfully break through to Title Douluo."
Pei Qing smiled slightly and said to Old Jack.
"Title Douluo? Hiss... Is Xiao San's talent actually that good? But his Martial Soul is just Blue Silver Grass. Sir, can Blue Silver Grass also become a Title Douluo?"
Old Jack was just an ordinary person and had no idea about the Blue Silver Emperor. Coupled with the fact that Tang San hadn't returned for nearly six years, he couldn't help but ask Pei Qing in great confusion.
"Breaking through to Title Douluo is both difficult and not difficult. With the talent of Innate full Soul Power, achieving Title Douluo is not a problem."
"As long as he chooses his Soul Rings appropriately, the strength of his Martial Soul will also increase."
Pei Qing chatted with Old Jack for a few more sentences, then inquired about some news regarding the vicinity of Holy Soul Village.
Upon learning that there was a canyon with a very harsh environment a few dozen kilometers from Holy Soul Village, he looked at Old Jack gratefully and casually pulled out a handful of gold Soul coins as a thank-you gift.
Old Jack, an old man, had never seen so many gold Soul coins. When he saw Pei Qing's actions, he was startled and immediately wanted to refuse.
However, Pei Qing never took back what he had given. He simply shoved the coins over and instantly vanished.
Old Jack stared blankly at the gold Soul coins in his hand, momentarily bewildered.
Just a few words and pointing out a path could earn him so many gold Soul coins.
When did money become so easy to earn? Old Jack's heart was completely shocked beyond words.
...
"Tang San, this guy has no feelings for Holy Soul Village at all."
"He hasn't even provided any financial support to Old Jack all these years."
Pei Qing shook his head, slightly disdainful.
He usually preferred not to judge others behind their backs.
However, Tang San did make him a little speechless. Given Tang Hao's state when Tang San was a child, whether Tang San could have survived without Old Jack was probably worth discussing.
Under such a debt of gratitude, Tang San showed no appreciation at all, and even failed to return for many years. He wondered if Old Jack regretted helping him so much when he was young.
What did this have to do with him? Pei Qing shook his head, no longer dwelling on such irrelevant thoughts.
With the full power of his Sun Feathered Wings, Pei Qing transformed into a divine light in the air and quickly arrived at the valley Old Jack had mentioned.
It was indeed rarely visited by people, with rugged cliffs on both sides of the valley, and constantly falling gravel from above. It could be said to be very dangerous, and even Soul Masters would likely not be interested in such a place.
Pei Qing directly spread his mental power completely. It was initially just a test, as he didn't believe Tang Hao would place something here.
In his imagination, the place Tang Hao would find should be more concealed, after all, he was a Title Douluo, and what he was hiding was his hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor wife.
However, the reality greatly surprised him. As his mental power spread, a cave entered his perception range.
Feeling the life energy emanating from within the cave, Pei Qing's expression became awkward...
Was this a case of being blind to what was right under his nose?
Pei Qing walked into the cave with a complex feeling. Soon, his gaze sharpened because he sensed a faint mental power.
And this faint mental power was constantly trying to call for help.
Pei Qing drove deep into the cave, where it was pitch black, and even the water molecules in the air were scarce.
With a lot of dust and dry rock walls, the environment could be described as nothing short of harsh.
And at the very center, a golden-veined Blue Silver Grass was rooted there.
This was the Blue Silver Emperor... Ah Yin, also Tang San's mother.
Pei Qing's gaze was playful. He touched the silver dragon king scale on his chest, and the next moment, Bi Ji's figure appeared before Pei Qing.
She looked at the Blue Silver Emperor on the ground, without any fluctuation in her eyes.
"Qing, is she your objective?"
Bi Ji casually shot out some life energy, which spread throughout the cave.
As soon as the life energy appeared, the Blue Silver Emperor, which had been suffering from a depleted life force, began to absorb it frantically.
Under the large amount of life force, the Blue Silver Emperor's body, which was originally only about three feet tall, grew rapidly. In just a short time, she had grown to half a person's height.
"Thank you..."
The still very weak mental power once again conveyed words to Pei Qing and Bi Ji.
"No need to thank me. After all, I am now going to take your soul bone. The life energy just now can be considered your compensation."
Pei Qing turned to look at the corner, then pointed out a stream of Soul Power. Instantly, the Soul Power struck the wall in the corner.
With a roar, the wall cracked, and a black lead box fell out from inside.
As Pei Qing was about to retrieve it, the Blue Silver Emperor, which had been motionless, suddenly wrapped around Pei Qing's wrist.
The weak mental power surged continuously, slowly converging into a phantom.
Pei Qing was startled, somewhat surprised. Could the current Blue Silver Emperor do this?
Was she forcefully overexerting herself, or had she recovered quite a bit with Bi Ji's help?
