Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 62 Unexpected Gains

At this point, all three golden-threaded serpents had been killed, and Yang Ping'an could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least for now, he no longer needed to run away alone.

Yang Ping'an quickly took out a lot of healing herbs for everyone to take. Of course, these were just relatively good healing medicines, and could not even be called miraculous medicines.

Since his time in the Yin-Yang Well, Yang Ping'an had categorized his belongings multiple times. All the items that resembled immortal herbs were placed in his personal soul tool, including the three soul bones he had obtained.

Moreover, he also had two other relatively large soul tools, including the large soul tool used to hold soil and the soul tool ring left to him by his parents. However, these contained only ordinary medicinal herbs or gold soul coins, or some emergency items, such as the dragon fungus leaf he had just used. There were no valuable items inside.

This battle was particularly fierce. Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian were the two who were seriously injured. Both of them had broken a lot of ribs and their auras were quite weak. It will probably take them a long time to recover.

As for the others, each of them had more or less wounds. Among them, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, and Xue Wu were relatively seriously injured. Huo Wushuang managed to withstand the Ten Thousand Year Golden Thread Ghost Serpent for a period of time in the early stages. Although Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's martial soul fusion skills were powerful, they were only Soul Masters after all, and their physical strength was still too weak.

As for Yang Ping'an himself, although he suffered many attacks, his strong physique made him much better at recovering than others, and he could recover quickly even from the most serious injuries.

After feeding everyone some medicinal herbs, Yang Ping'an put away the three golden thread ghost snakes and quickly led his men away from there.

The battle just now was too intense, especially with a lot of bloodshed. It could easily attract some large soul beasts, which would cause trouble.

Before long, Yang Ping'an and his group found another relatively safe place, which was also an abandoned soul beast nest. Now everyone needed to rest and there was no way to travel and leave.

It must be said that after the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, the improvement in physical strength has indeed become extremely powerful. In just half a day, Yang Ping'an's injuries have been completely healed.

Even Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian gradually regained consciousness after taking the medicine, but their injuries prevented them from moving.

This time, everyone hid and recuperated for a full five days. Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu had only recovered most of their strength, but they could probably only exert 60-70% of their strength. It wouldn't be long before they fully recovered.

Before everyone was ready to set off, Yang Ping'an organized a short meeting.

On the ground lay the corpses of the three golden thread serpents that had been killed. To prevent them from rotting, Yang Ping'an had specially asked Shui Bing'er to freeze them with ice.

The strength of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is still very valuable. Just this ten-thousand-year-old golden thread ghost snake's corpse, if taken to the auction house, would probably be worth tens of thousands of gold soul coins, especially the snake fangs and snake gall, which would probably be even more valuable.

Although Yang Ping'an didn't care about the small amount of money, he still carefully dissected the Golden Thread Ghost Snake with a dagger in front of everyone. Some things are better communicated face to face, at least to avoid any conflicts later.

After Yang Ping'an completely dissected the corpse of the Golden Thread Ghost Serpent, everyone was stunned. The Golden Thread Ghost Serpent actually had a right arm soul bone, and it was a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but complain in his heart: He had been training in the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time and had killed many thousand-year-old soul beasts, so why hadn't he seen any soul bones? Yet a group of people besieged the ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thread Ghost Serpent and a soul bone appeared. Wasn't it said that soul bones were treasures that were one in ten thousand?

When everyone saw the soul bone, their faces showed longing. Even Shui Bing'er, who was relatively calm, changed her expression.

However, after thinking it over carefully, Yang Ping'an handed the soul bone directly to Feng Xiaotian: "Brother Feng, please find a way to auction off this soul bone. Divide all the money into seven parts, and the seven of you can share it equally. I only want the corpses of these three golden thread ghost snakes."

Feng Xiaotian and the others were somewhat surprised to hear this: "Brother Yang, you made a great contribution to this hunt of soul beasts. We should divide this soul bone equally. Moreover, if it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have been so lucky to defeat these three golden-threaded ghost snakes."

Yang Ping'an simply smiled slightly: "Brother Feng, the corpse of this Golden Thread Ghost Serpent is of some use to me, but I'll leave the soul bone to you."

After saying that, Yang Ping'an collected the corpses retrieved from the three meridians and prepared to leave.

Feng Xiaotian looked at the people around him with some hesitation, and finally had no choice but to put the soul bone away. He also assured everyone that he would dispose of the soul bone as soon as possible and then distribute the funds to everyone.

In fact, Yang Ping'an knew in his heart that he was just one person and could not possibly eat such a large piece of soul bone. Moreover, there were seven people on the other side, and there were even hidden experts among them.

Besides, he already had a right arm spirit bone, and the right arm spirit bone of this Golden Thread Ghost Serpent was estimated to be worth only a million gold spirit coins. It wasn't worth offending the three major spirit master academies for such a small amount of gold spirit coins.

After Feng Xiaotian collected the soul bone, the relationships among the group became more lively and they became more familiar with each other.

Geniuses like Feng Xiaotian can only befriend other geniuses. Yang Ping, for example, is already seventeen years old, but his soul power is only level thirty-two. There are plenty of people like him in advanced soul master academies.

However, after that battle, everyone began to take Yang Ping'an very seriously. Although Yang Ping'an's soul power level is relatively low now, as a powerful offensive soul master, his combat strength is no less than that of Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, and in some aspects, he is even stronger than the two of them.

Even the three girls looked at Yang Ping'an differently. If Yang Ping'an hadn't desperately blocked the final attack of the Golden Thread Ghost Serpent, the three girls would probably have been seriously injured, if not killed. Huo Wu, in particular, would have been instantly killed by the Golden Thread Ghost Serpent if Yang Ping'an hadn't taken the brunt of the attack.

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Ping'an has only ever focused on increasing his strength and seeking revenge. He has never interacted with anyone. Now, however, he has shared hardships with Feng Xiaotian and the other six, and they can chat occasionally and exchange cultivation insights.

In particular, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, despite their young age, displayed a certain demeanor of great people, and were quite good in terms of their interpersonal skills and communication.
