"Palace Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Dugu Yan asked expectantly.
She knew that the Palace Master must have some benefit in saying this. A few days ago, Ye Lingling obtained a soul cultivation technique. Although she also obtained it later, she was not the first one after all.
"This soul bone is an external soul bone. I don't know what effect it has. Do you want to try refining it?"
"Soul bone?"
Dugu Yan covered her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect the benefits to be so great.
Soul bones meant nothing to Xiao Mu, but to Dugu Yan, who had never seen a soul bone before, they were extremely precious.
Not to mention that it is an extremely rare external soul bone.
In fact, Xiao Mu wanted to know what effect the external soul bones produced by the King of Earth had. During his trip to the Sunset Forest, he harvested a lot of soul bones produced by the King of Earth, and a small half of them were external soul bones.
As the founding disciple of the Soul Palace, Dugu Yan was lucky enough to be the experimental subject.
"Palace Master, are you really going to give me this soul bone as a reward?"
"If you don't want it, you can give it to Ye Lingling."
"No...no, I want it."
Although Ye Lingling is her good sister, she can just ask her to do the work. It is better for her to try this "dangerous" thing herself first.
"Thank you for the reward, Palace Master."
Dugu Yan excitedly took the soul bone and began to absorb it in front of Xiao Mu.
The soul bone that Xiao Mu gave to Dugu Yan was exactly the ten thousand year old soul bone he obtained from the first King of the Earth. It would take Dugu Yan quite a while to completely absorb it.
Xiao Mu simply set about refining a new type of elixir.
The elixir he wanted to refine this time was not for humans, but for soul beasts. It was called the Limit-Breaking Pill, which could increase the lifespan of soul beasts.
Although there are many soul beasts in the several soul beast forests in Douluo Continent, they are not endless after all, especially those soul beasts that are more than ten thousand years old.
Simply hunting high-level soul beasts is not a long-term solution. Xiao Mu wants to try to cultivate them first, and then obtain soul bones, so as to achieve sustainable development.
Soul beast elixirs are actually easier to refine than those used by humans.
The physical strength of soul beasts far exceeds that of humans, and they can withstand more violent medicinal effects, without the need for such delicate control to slowly release the medicinal effects.
When Dugu Yan successfully absorbed the soul bone, Xiao Mu had already successfully refined four batches of limit-breaking pills.
One furnace each of the first to fourth grade Limit-Breaking Pills.
The effect of the Limit Breaking Pill is very direct. A first-grade Limit Breaking Pill, with one to three patterns, can increase the cultivation level of a soul beast by one hundred to three hundred years respectively.
The second grade is four hundred to six hundred years, and the third grade is seven hundred to nine hundred years.
Every three grades is a big step forward. For example, a fourth-grade limit-breaking pill can increase the cultivation level of a soul beast by one thousand to three thousand years.
The effect is crude and simple, but definitely powerful.
There is a beast garden in the Soul Palace. I will ask them to catch some soul beasts and raise them to test the effect of the Limit-Breaking Pill.
"Have you finished refining the soul bone? Show me the results."
Xiao Mu put away the last furnace of pills and said to Dugu Yan who had already refined the soul bone.
"good."
Dugu Yan didn't know what the effect of the soul bone he possessed was, and was just about to give it a try.
She gathered her soul power and was about to activate this soul bone when her expression suddenly changed.
"The location of this soul bone is not right."
Dugu Yan didn't pay much attention when absorbing it. She just felt that her soul power had increased. However, when she tried to activate this soul bone, she found that the location of this soul bone was a little wrong.
Dugu Yan wanted to stop, but it was too late.
A deep red nine-section scorpion tail grew out from behind her. The tail hook had a hint of cold light, and it was obvious at a glance that it was extremely sharp and had strong attack power.
And this is the skill that Dugu Yan has not used with this soul bone.
Judging from the appearance of the scorpion tail, the accompanying skills should be those of the King of the Earth.
"This external soul bone is quite powerful. You can study it slowly."
Dugu Yan's face flushed and she hurriedly put away her scorpion tail.
She didn't know how powerful it was, and Dugu Yan just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"What's wrong with you? Does this external spirit bone have other effects? Does it have other effects on your body?"
Seeing that Dugu Yan's face looked a little abnormal, Xiao Mu asked.
"No... no, nothing. What I meant is that I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Master."
Dugu Yan was about to cry, but she pretended to be calm.
"Well, you go first." Xiao Mu said.
"Huh? Okay, I'll leave now."
Dugu Yan kept facing Xiao Mu and walked out backwards.
After Dugu Yan left, Xiao Mu shook his head with a strange look on his face.
"For a girl like her, it's a little inconvenient to use this kind of external spirit bone."
Xiao Mu was not a fool, so of course he knew the reason why Dugu Yan was hesitating.
Xiao Mu didn't point it out to save her face.
On the other side, Dugu Yan, who had gone out, breathed a sigh of relief. She and Ye Lingling had to clean the Heavenly Palace at any time and take care of Xiao Mu's food, clothing and daily life, so they also had rooms in the Heavenly Palace and didn't have to worry about being discovered when they went out.
"Yanyan?"
Who knew that just after turning a corner, Dugu Yan heard Ye Lingling's voice.
"Why do you walk so strangely?"
"Your clothes..."
"Were you with the Palace Master just now?"
Ye Lingling looked at the hole in Dugu Yan's clothes, and was so shocked that she felt horrified.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't imagine, it's just an accident."
Dugu Yan quickly covered Ye Lingling's mouth.
After Dugu Yan brought Ye Lingling back to the room, she told her everything.
"Are you saying that the Palace Master rewarded you with an external soul bone?"
After knowing the truth, Ye Lingling said with some envy.
But then she thought again, if she were to encounter such a socially awful situation, she probably wouldn't even have the courage to walk out, and she fainted from embarrassment.
"Yanyan, how will you use this soul bone in the future?"
Dugu Yan was also very worried.
I finally got such a rare external soul bone, but it is not convenient to use in battle. It's a pity.
"I'm not very familiar with the use of this spirit bone. Let me try a few more times to see if I can use the spirit bone skills without releasing the tail, or move the location where the spirit bone appears."
"That's right, there are always more solutions than problems." Ye Lingling comforted.
She suddenly remembered something, rolled her eyes and said:
"Yanyan, do you think the Palace Master has noticed your situation?"
Dugu Yan's face, which had finally calmed down, turned red again.
"No? The Palace Master shouldn't have noticed." She said hesitantly.
"oh."
Ye Lingling uttered an "oh". Just when Dugu Yan thought she would stop asking questions, Ye Lingling said seriously:
"I don't believe it."
"The Palace Master is very observant. What could possibly be hidden from him? I think the Palace Master is trying to take care of your feelings."
"Ye Lingling, I'm going to fight you."
Dugu Yan fought violence with violence and used force to force Ye Lingling to shut up.
…
Tiandou City, Yuexuan.
"Master, you've already said that the Soul Palace Master is just a young boy. Why should our Haotian Sect take the initiative to make friends with him? Can a new force still be a match for our Haotian Sect?"
This time when they came to Tiandou City again, except for one elder who stayed in the sect, Tang Xiao and the other four elders went out together.
Some elders expressed their incomprehension about Tang Xiao's several visits to the Soul Palace.
"In my opinion, buying is worse than stealing, and stealing is worse than robbing. Even if the Soul Palace has two or three Titled Douluo, our Haotian Sect is definitely far more powerful than the Soul Palace."
"Instead of rushing to purchase the Soul-Breaking Pill, it would be better to destroy the Soul Palace all at once, capture the Palace Master and bring him back to the Haotian Sect, and let him concentrate on refining pills for our Haotian Sect."
