I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 268 Soul Bone
This time, Xiao Wuji was unable to easily defeat the plant-type soul beast with his first soul skill, because even the lightning power gathered on its remains was enough to shatter Xiao Wuji's martial soul.

Fortunately, the soul beast was young enough that he could absorb it even without any life force.

The spear pierced through the sword mark left by Sword Douluo. To deal with something with the power of thunder, an insulated bamboo spear was more suitable.

Soon, the spirit ring appeared, and Xiao Wuji quickly sat cross-legged and guided the spirit ring onto his martial soul.

Not far away, Sword Douluo was deeply disturbed by the scene before him. He touched a few strands of charred hair on his forehead and looked at his tattered sleeves. He had to admit that he had been too hasty in choosing his spirit rings!

Although this soul beast only had a cultivation of a little over ten thousand years, its strength almost injured him, a titled Douluo. Although it was not as powerful as a titled Douluo, it was definitely stronger than the vast majority of Soul Douluos! If it were allowed to grow for tens of thousands more years, even he would probably not be its match.

Looking at the scene before him, Ning Fengzhi said with deep emotion, "Uncle Jian, it seems that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really needs to study the theory of Soul Masters in depth!"

After learning about Xiao Wuji's theories, he suddenly realized that these theories weren't particularly groundbreaking, and even had some merit, which they had simply overlooked before. If his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had mastered these things earlier, the throne of the number one sect in the world would probably have been his for the fore long ago!
As he looked around, Ning Fengzhi suddenly turned his gaze to the main trunk of the Thunderous Hell Vine not far from Xiao Wuji, and his martial soul gave him some special feedback.

"It looks like we might have some special gains to make!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has a natural affinity for certain treasures, which is one of the main reasons why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the richest in the world. And the treasure that was born from the soul beast's body is naturally self-evident!
Half a day later, Xiao Wuji looked at the purple soul bone in front of him and was so shocked that he was speechless.

This is a right arm bone, as dazzling as a purple gem. Most importantly, its completeness is comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul bone, containing not only the ulna and radius but also complete metacarpal bones without a single missing piece. Judging by appearance alone, it's hard to imagine that this is a soul bone produced by a 10,000-year-old soul beast. It's almost as impressive as his right leg bone!

"This is truly unbelievable!"

Xiao Wuji pondered for a moment, then took out two scrolls from his storage belt, which contained the cultivation methods of "Purple Demon Eye" and "Ghost Shadow Mystery".

This was the reward he had prepared long ago; he even had backups of "Mysterious Jade Hand" and "Controlling Cranes and Capturing Dragons."

He was determined to spread the Tang Clan's martial arts throughout the world. Just thinking about Tang San's incredulous look in the future made him quite excited!

However, "The Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons" is a bit too much for the Douluo Continent, so he doesn't plan to pass it on. Besides, Tang San also needs to forget about it.

"This is a lightness skill, consider it payment for this soul bone!"

With the deal concluded, both Xiao Wuji and Ning Fengzhi were completely satisfied.

Xiao Wuji's satisfaction lies in the fact that he can now grow another arm for himself.

Ning Fengzhi's satisfaction lies in the fact that his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples have gained another life-saving martial art.

Xiao Wuji made no attempt to hide it from others and proceeded to reattach his severed arm right there in the forest. With Sword Douluo present, his safety was assured.

He tore open the flesh of his severed arm with a dagger, revealing the stark white bone beneath. He then pieced the soul bone onto his own bones and summoned his martial spirit, which then coiled around him in all directions.

Once a dodder vine has absorbed enough life force, it will sprout new branches to explore further afield and then continue to devour the life force of the next plant. In this process, Xiao Wuji only needs to consume a very small amount of his soul power.

Therefore, when Ning Fengzhi and the others saw the Thunderstorm Forest, which covered almost half of the area, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

This kind of soul skill doesn't have a great effect at first, but given enough time to develop, it can evolve into a terrifying domain!

The moment he retracted his martial soul, a terrifying life force erupted within his body, and the flesh he had cut open with his own hands began to heal again. However, due to the obstruction of the soul bone, the newly grown flesh could only attach itself to the soul bone.

However, what Xiao Wuji wanted was not the irregularly growing flesh attached to the soul bone, so he could only tear his own flesh open again and again, and then use his soul power to guide the flow of life force, so that his flesh would grow into the shape he wanted!
A whole night had passed, and most of the trees in the Thunderstorm Forest had withered and turned yellow. Xiao Wuji's arm had finally recovered. "That's great! Even my fingernails have grown back. Although the color is a bit strange, it's better than nothing!"

It's strange how this soul bone was originally smaller than his arm. But after his flesh and blood had grown to the size of his left arm, it tore his newly grown flesh and blood apart again, forcing him to wreak havoc on the forest once more.

Ning Rongrong followed the others out of the Soul Beast Forest, and then parted ways with Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo halfway through. Ning Rongrong stayed behind, after all, he still needed to stay by her side to receive "special training".

After returning to Tiandou City, Xue Qinghe took over the job of pushing Dugu Yan's wheelchair and invited him to his residence without giving him a chance to refuse.

boom!
Upon entering the study, Xue Qinghe closed the door behind her, then turned her wheelchair around to face Xiao Wuji. She placed her hands on the armrests and looked down at Xiao Wuji, but remained silent throughout.

Although Xiao Wuji knew she was a woman, he still felt uneasy looking at her masculine face. So, after a moment, he quickly placed his hands on Xue Qinghe's chest and pushed her away.

"He touched me? He touched me again?"

Xue Qinghe had lost count of how many times this had happened, but it seemed that ever since he had endured it the first time, it hadn't been so difficult for him to endure it again!
"He was unaware of it, forgive him!"

Using the same excuse, he endured it once again, then leaned against the door with his arms crossed, continuing to stare at Xiao Wuji without saying a word.

Xiao Wuji felt a chill run down his spine. In the end, he raised his hands in surrender and said, "I surrender. Just say what's wrong, don't look at me like that!"

"I really don't like men!"

Xue Qinghe looked away somewhat guiltily, and said righteously, "You make it sound like I like men!"

"That's good!" Xiao Wuji lowered his hands with a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Brother Xue, do you want to ask about those two martial arts techniques?"

"Hmph! You actually know that?"

Xue Qinghe said with a hint of jealousy, "Am I still your good older brother? You actually kept such a good thing from me? What, are you afraid I can't afford the price?"

"How can this be!"

Xiao Wuji explained, "The so-called martial arts are actually what you call self-created soul skills. However, martial arts do not rely on martial souls, but on the physical body and soul power!"

"Those two martial arts techniques are only the initial versions I learned, and they can't be considered sophisticated. I originally planned to refine them before teaching them to Brother Xue!"

"However, since Brother Xue is in such a hurry, I'll give it to you now!"

Having said that, Xiao Wuji gave Xue Qinghe a copy of everything in the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" except for the hidden weapons and the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and advised him:
"I suggest you focus on your soul power and physical body, since these are the foundation of a soul master!"

"As for martial arts skills, they mainly depend on talent. If you don't have the talent, you'll need to spend a lot of time studying and practicing diligently!"

"Okay, I got it. Take care, and don't bother seeing me out!"

boom!
After being cruelly pushed out the door, Xiao Wuji was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head with a wry smile. It seemed that this thing was quite attractive to Xue Qinghe!
