Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 188 Forging Thunder Grass

With a loud thud, Shi Nian collapsed to the ground, black blood flowing from his seven orifices until his death. His entire body was rotting and dissolving, and in no time, he completely disappeared into the black blood.

Both Tie Li and Tang San breathed a sigh of relief.

The gap between the two and Shi Nian was too great, and they were both glad that the other party, who was their temporary teammate, had hidden methods.

Tie Li knew that Tang San possessed the Yama's Decree and understood his character; he wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his death, which is why he went all out to attack.

Tang San was astonished by Tie Li's methods. The combat power unleashed by a Soul King was no less than that of a Soul Emperor. The terrifying black lightning exceeded his understanding. He had never seen such terrifying lightning before.

Similarly, he knew that Tie Li would not sit idly by and wait for death. As a disciple of the Fenglei Sect, he was the only spark of hope, and he carried too much on his shoulders.

"Little San, what kind of artifact is this? Its power is so great that it can kill a Soul Saint." Tie Li asked, feigning shock.

How could a Soul Master killing a Soul Saint, a level above his own, not attract attention?
"Never mind, it's your secret, and I shouldn't ask too much, but I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

Tie Li retracted his bone wings in front of him. In order to restrain Shi Nian, he had to use all his strength, which also meant that he exposed his external soul bone.

At least during this period, Tang San's personality was fine.

"Don't worry, Brother Dali." Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that Tie Li would kill him to silence him. He already knew the value of the external soul bone from the master. Tie Li had just exposed the external soul bone to him, which was undoubtedly exposing the secret to him.

Naturally, they would worry that Tie Li might kill them to cover up the secret.

"Huh? It's a soul bone?"

Tie Li arrived at the spot where Shi Nian's body had disappeared and saw a head bone that emitted a colorful light.

Tang San had already noticed, but he pretended not to see it and sat cross-legged on the ground to recover from his injuries.

Seeing Tang San pretending not to see it, Tie Li couldn't help but smile.

I do need a soul bone to enhance my strength, but I am now qualified to choose a high-quality soul bone for myself. This soul bone is certainly good, but it cannot significantly increase my combat power.

Rather than doing that, it's better to use it to do someone a favor.

"Brother Dali, what's wrong with you...?"

Tang San looked at the seven-colored soul bone that had landed in front of him with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Back then at the Heaven Dou Auction House, a ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone fetched an astonishing price.

"Your secret weapon must be extremely valuable, so consider this soul bone as compensation for you."

Tie Li was gambling on Tang San's personality at this stage. He had been to the Water Heart Land before, where there was a special spiritual herb that greatly helped his cultivation.

Given Tang San's knowledge of herbs, he must know the value of spiritual herbs; it's just unclear whether he used them.

"Brother Dali, I alone cannot defeat a Soul Saint like him, and the Soul Bone is extremely valuable. If he only leaves it to me..."

"I need a Thunderforged Grass. You have a good relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so I want you to help me find one." Tie Li didn't intend to beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

The conditions for cultivating Thunderforge Grass are extremely demanding, and most merchants do not possess it. Even the Heavenly Dou Merchant Guild only has one hundred-year-old Thunderforge Grass.

Tang San was slightly taken aback by Tie Li's words, but without hesitation, he took out a small jade box.

This Thunderforged Grass is quite valuable, exceeding ten thousand years in age, but it still pales in comparison to a soul bone. Interests are mutual; if Tie Li were to actually sell the soul bone to Tang San, he might not accept it, and might even worry that Tie Li had ulterior motives.

Tie Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Tang San would use up the Thunder Forging Grass, which would make him give up a soul bone for nothing.

Fortunately, I didn't disappoint myself and took out this ten-thousand-year-old Thunderforged Grass.

It is extremely difficult for someone who already possesses Black Lightning to enhance their lightning attribute, let alone a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

The main purpose of needing Thundergrass is to increase affinity with plant-type soul beasts within the White Land.

Only the Thundergrass can do this.

Deep within the white land, the exploration with spiritual power revealed a huge thunderstone, identical to the thunderstone near the Thunder Pool, both bearing the mark of thunderstones.

Tie Li wants to obtain the Thunder Stone Mark from Bai Di, not only because it can enhance the lightning attribute by 10%, but also because it may involve the true secret of the Wind and Thunder Sect.

In Tieli's conjecture, the complete mark must be inextricably linked to Leichi.

The information that the Thunderforged Grass can increase the affinity of Thunder-attribute plant-type soul beasts was obtained by Tie Li after reading through a large number of books.

Tie Li accepted the jade box from Tang San without hesitation and put it into his storage soul tool, as it was indeed what he needed.

"Let's go back first."

"it is good."

Tang San then put away the soul bone and returned to Heaven Dou City.

The two parted ways at a fork in the road after entering Tiandou City.

Back in his hotel room, Tie Li couldn't wait to take out the Thunderforging Grass and make his soul power restless.

The first evolution of Tie Li's martial soul relied on the primordial essence of a plant-type soul beast, which made Tie Li's martial soul inherently different from that of a normal soul master.

The Thunderforged Grass increases affinity with Thunder-attribute plant-type soul beasts, and Tie Li, who possesses the original aura of plant-type soul beasts, naturally has a strange affinity with the Thunderforged Grass.

Afterwards, he consumed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a celestial herb that was absolutely superior to ordinary herbs. Even a tiny bit of its aura made the aura of the Duanlei Grass different.

For a normal Soul Master to refine Thunderforged Grass is very risky. The lightning attribute contained in Thunderforged Grass is extremely terrifying and full of destructive power. If a Soul Master wants to refine it with their flesh and blood, they must use other spiritual herbs to assist them.

Tie Li swallowed the Thunderforged Grass, which transformed into several warm currents that flowed throughout his body. He felt no discomfort whatsoever, as if everything was happening naturally.

A subtle feeling welled up in his heart. The increased affinity allowed him to sense the plant-type soul beasts in the white land from afar. This special feeling was very short-lived, and the connection between the two quickly disappeared.

My soul power level has increased from level 56 to level 57, bringing me one step closer to level 60.

For ordinary lightning-attribute soul masters, the Thunder-Forging Grass can greatly enhance the lightning attribute of their martial soul, but it has no effect on Tie Li.

The only things that can be improved are the affinity and soul power level of plant-type soul masters, because the lightning attribute that Tie Li controls far exceeds the lightning attribute of the Forging Lightning Grass itself.

Obtaining this Thunderforging Grass from Tang San would bring benefits far exceeding those of the Soul Bone.

The improvement that soul bone had brought to him at that time was too slight.
