Chapter 68: Is it possible to replicate a 100,000-year-old soul bone?
"Dad, think about it!"
"Food is the most important thing for the people."
"Whether you're a Spirit Master or an ordinary person, you can't live without eating every day."
Tang Chuan leaned forward, rested his elbow on the stone table, and laid out his ideas for the food delivery industry: "I'm opening a food delivery shop not just to make money."
"More importantly, I want to use this to build up faith in the God of Food."
"My iced tea costs only one copper soul coin a cup, and my barbecue costs five copper soul coins. It's cheaper than the cafeteria. The iced tea cools you down and refreshes you, while the barbecue fills your stomach. Ordinary people can afford it, and even Spirit Masters think it's a good deal."
"Currently, the delivery service only covers the academy and a few nearby taverns, so the amount of faith that can be accumulated each day is limited."
"Once the Blue Silver Network is established, it will be able to deliver food to every corner of mainland China."
"At that time, whether it's Heaven Dou City, Martial Soul City, or Star Luo City, everyone will be able to enjoy my cooking."
"When everyone benefits from the food I create, the faith in the God of Food will naturally rise, my position as the God of Food will become more secure, and the Nine Trials of the God of Food should be easier..."
"Good!"
"Well said!"
"What a powerful saying, 'Food is the first necessity of the people!'"
Tang Hao's cloudy eyes grew brighter and brighter. He slapped his thigh so hard the stone table shook, his excitement overflowing: "What a wonderful gathering of the God of Food's faith!"
"How could I not have thought of that?!"
"It seems the God of Food truly had excellent judgment in choosing you to inherit his divine position!"
Tang Hao looked at Tang Chuan with admiration and pride in his eyes: "Chuan'er, you are not only exceptionally talented, but also have such a clear and meticulous mind."
"Ten times better than I was back then!"
"Such vision, such strategy—this is exactly what my son, Tang Hao, should be like!"
"Hahahaha!"
He laughed heartily, growing more and more fond of Tang Chuan the more he looked at him, feeling that the child had inherited his mother's intelligence and possessed foresight that even he could not match.
In comparison, Tang San, who was silent and taciturn, seemed even less presentable in his eyes.
Tang San lowered his head, his fingers clenching the hem of his clothes, not daring to refute.
He was already used to his father's preferential treatment and only hoped that he could become stronger quickly so that he could help his brother and make his father look at him with new respect.
"Dad, you flatter me."
Tang Chuan smiled and tugged at Tang Hao's arm: "I have a surprise for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned the Blue Silver Bind. The pale golden grass strands intertwined in the air, and as he poured in his soul power, a deep black ten-thousand-year soul ring slowly rose up.
"A thousand threads reappear, a hundred flavors emerge!"
As the soul incantation resounded, the Blue Silver Bind threads danced once more.
In a few breaths, the light subsided, and a piece of left leg bone, entirely emerald green and radiating a gentle life force, hung in mid-air, engraved with patterns of lotus buds about to bloom.
It was the [Water Lily Demon Lotus's Left Leg Bone of Withered and Flourishing Regeneration]!
"This is... a soul bone?!"
Tang Hao stood up abruptly, sobering up considerably. His smile froze, and he strode over to Tang Chuan, his eyes fixed on the soul bone in Tang Chuan's hand.
"Xiao Chuan, you... you can copy soul bones using soul skills?"
"Yes, Dad!"
Tang Chuan nodded, manipulating the Blue Silver Bind to hand over the soul bone, his face displaying just the right amount of shyness and pride: "I obtained this soul bone some time ago when I hunted a Water Fly Demon Lotus in the Soul Hunter Forest."
"At the time, I was thinking..."
"Since my first soul skill, Blue Silver Weaving of a Hundred Flavors, can replicate all food, including ironware, why can't it replicate soul bones?"
"To put it bluntly, a soul bone is actually just a bone, isn't it?"
Under Tang Hao's shocked and incredulous gaze, Tang Chuan explained little by little: "So I tried to let the Blue Silver Bind devour the soul bone as an experiment."
"Anyway, the worst-case scenario is that it's as if we never obtained this soul bone at all."
"If it really succeeds, we'll make a fortune!"
"The result did not disappoint me."
"I really copied it successfully!"
"The soul bone skill contained within this piece is Rebirth and Regeneration, which can quickly heal injuries. Its effect is doubled on plant-type martial souls. Xiao San absorbed one..."
"So I named it 'The Water Fly Demon Lotus: The Rebirth and Regeneration of the Left Leg Bone'."
Tang Hao stared blankly as he reached out and caught the soul bone. He could clearly feel the soul power flowing inside the soul bone in his palm, and it was no different from a real soul bone!
He looked at it over and over again several times.
He looked up at Tang Chuan, then at the soul bone in his hand that was enough to cause a bloodbath in the world of Spirit Masters, and his chest heaved violently.
Ecstasy, shock, disbelief... a mix of emotions welled up inside him.
He sat heavily back on the stone bench, looking at Tang Chuan with a complicated expression, his voice hoarse: "Good boy... good boy!"
"You really... have given Dad so many surprises!"
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked excitedly, "Xiao Chuan, what is the limit of your ability to replicate soul bones?"
"Is it possible to replicate a 100,000-year-old soul bone?"
"One hundred thousand years?"
Tang Chuan could guess why Tang Hao asked that question. The right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor left by his mother, Ah Yin, was still buried behind the waterfall. However, Tang Chuan had to pretend to be unaware of it.
"No!"
"When my soul power was low, I could only copy one soul bone at a time, which would consume all my soul power."
"But things should be a little better now."
"Hmm... With my current level seventeen soul power, I can probably replicate three of these thousand-year soul bones at the same time if I consume all my soul power."
"I haven't tried a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, so I doubt it would work; my soul power wouldn't be enough."
"Once I break through to the Great Soul Master level at level twenty, I might be able to try copying a ten-thousand-year soul bone, but copying a one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone might have to wait until I become a Soul Emperor..."
Tang Chuan wore a perfectly timed wry smile and a look of utter helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's fervor cooled slightly, but his excitement and surprise remained undiminished, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Dad was too impatient!"
"You're still young, you have a long road ahead of you!"
He handed the soul bone back to Tang Chuan, then patted him heavily on the shoulder, his voice filled with affirmation and expectation: "With your talent and ability, Dad believes it won't be long before you become a Soul Emperor!"
"In a couple of days, I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest again and find you a few more 50,000-year-old soul beasts to bring back, so you can break through to level twenty sooner!"
"Your first soul skill is truly powerful!"
Tang Hao grew increasingly satisfied with Tang Chuan, and couldn't help but mutter, "Much better than your brother!"
"If my brother were even half as good as you, I'd be perfectly content!"
Tang Chuan took the soul bone, smiled, and handed it to Tang San. He then poured Tang Hao a refill of iced tea, saying, "Dad, please don't say that."
"Even my brother is helping me!"
"He helped me with the takeout delivery, and he's also working hard to cultivate, striving to acquire a second soul skill that can transmit information..."
Tang Hao didn't reply, but took a big gulp of his iced tea and looked out into the courtyard, lost in thought.
Tang San stood aside, watching his brother's back, and secretly vowed in his heart: he must cultivate quickly and acquire the Blue Silver Network Soul Skill as soon as possible to help his brother realize his plan.
