Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 265 — Sorry, she gave way too much!

"Bai Yuan, you seem to be in quite a good mood!" Qian Lingyun stood lazily at the entrance of the courtyard, showing no intention of going in.

The ground was littered with strange internal organs and skeletons, and enthusiastic black "little bees" buzzed around everywhere, making it impossible for Qian Lingyun to find a place to put her feet.

"Oh, it's the Holy Maiden?" Bai Yuan snapped the head off the corpse on the table, analyzing the muscles and meridians as she asked in a deep voice, "Where has the Holy Maiden been these past few days? Why did it take her so long to return?!"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just did some research."

Splat!

Qian Lingyun's high heels stepped on a lump of dark, soft flesh, and the disgusting and repulsive feeling made her body tremble.

She couldn't stand the filth on the ground any longer. Without waiting for Bai Yuan to speak, she directly conjured a ball of black flame with her left hand and casually flicked it to the ground.

After a series of crackling sounds, the black flames burned the pile of stinking, filthy things on the ground into ashes.

After the heatwave subsided, even the lingering stench of blood in the air was swept away.

"Oh dear, Holy Maiden, you really are..." Bai Yuan, the worshipper, looked at the ground swept away by the flames and her lips twitched. She instinctively wanted to complain, but after a moment of silence, she swallowed her words.

"Are you still going to use that pile of stuff?" Qian Lingyun scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and explained, "It's attracted flies... I thought..."

"Forget it, it's already burned, so it doesn't matter anymore," Bai Yuan sighed, casually flipped the corpse on the table to the ground, and set it on fire.

Seeing Bai Yuan's calm demeanor, which was completely out of character for her, Qian Lingyun immediately realized that something was amiss. She pulled up a chair and sat down next to Bai Yuan, tentatively asking, "Judging from your expression, has everything been taken care of?!"

"It's alright! Hu Mei has finally opened up to me and won't avoid me anymore." Bai Yuan pursed her lips, her beautiful mouth slightly curving upwards, and hummed a tune that seemed to have wandered off to who-knows-where.

"How long have you been in level 91?"

Suddenly, Qian Lingyun blurted out this sentence.

"?" Bai Yuan's body trembled, and she subconsciously remained silent for a while before finally squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth: "I can't remember exactly how many years, but it must have been many years!"

"Do you want to further improve your cultivation?" Qian Lingyun asked mysteriously.

"My cultivation has improved? Impossible!" Bai Yuan chuckled and explained, "After condensing my soul core, I fixed my cultivation at level ninety-one. Unless I have some great opportunity, it's impossible for me to break through to level ninety-two in this lifetime. What... what kind of trick are you up to now?"

Bai Yuan trusted Qian Lingyun quite a bit, even though the girl often said a lot of things that were hard to understand, but if you just sorted them out a little…

You'll find that what this eccentric girl says is really mind-bending.

Okay, she admits that it's absurd for a cult member to say that others are talking nonsense, but that's the truth.

After all… if a girl who could demand that the Holy Spirit Cult change its image and whitewash itself at a high-level meeting of the Holy Spirit Cult didn’t have some kind of problem, Bai Yuan would absolutely not believe it.

"Do you have a soul bone?" Qian Lingyun asked coldly, raising an eyebrow.

"Two pieces," Bai Yuan said, pointing to her two long legs. "I broke my legs when I was young. To save my life, I used two soul bones to reattach them. Otherwise, I would be in a wheelchair like that prince of the Sun and Moon Sect now."

Qian Lingyun consciously filtered through these words and simply repeated them:

"If I give you six decent quality matching soul bones, can you break through to level ninety-three?"

"Holy Maiden, you're joking! Six decent-quality matching soul bones, their price even rivals that of the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo you got from Star Luo!" Bai Yuan looked at Qian Lingyun with a mocking expression. Her pair of "airbags" shook violently from laughing so hard. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said sarcastically:

If you can produce it, I, Bai Yuan, will change my name to Bai Bai Bai from today onwards!

Wow, the flag has been raised by itself!

Qian Lingyun looked at Bai Yuan's flustered appearance with a hint of helplessness, took out the six-piece Bone Dragon set, and sighed, "Bai, Bai, Bai, what did you say? I didn't hear you!"

"Holy crap, you really have it?" Bai Yuan's smile vanished instantly, then shifted to Qian Lingyun's face. Qian Lingyun gently tapped the Bone Dragon Soul Bone with her index finger. The Soul Bone emitted a crisp buzzing sound.

"Let me tell you a big secret: this thing can be used as an external soul bone without taking up a spot in the six major soul bones."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan's expression instantly changed. As a Title Douluo, she naturally understood what Qian Lingyun's words meant.

Not occupying any of the six major soul bone positions means that these six soul bones belong to the sequence of external soul bones, which also means that in addition to them, one can absorb soul bones from other positions!

In the hearts of Soul Masters, external Soul Bones are treasures second only to 100,000-year Soul Bones. Even a single one is worth a fortune, let alone a complete set of six Soul Bones.

"I don't know what kind of soul skills these six soul bones will give you. They might only give you one soul skill in total, but they will definitely improve your attributes," Qian Lingyun said, playing with the soul bones as she spoke. In this world, no one, except herself, understands this thing better than her.

"So, what's the price?" Bai Yuan swallowed and asked in a low voice.

"I haven't decided yet, but you can owe me one for now. I'll contact you again when I've figured it out," Qian Lingyun said expressionlessly, as if she didn't care about the soul bone at all.

Actually, she was panicking inside; she had come with the intention of having Bai Yuan test the poison.

She didn't know the specific uses and parameters of the Bone Dragon Soul Bone Set, and she didn't want to just pull some random cat or dog from the mountains to fuse with her masterpiece.

In her eyes, the Bone Dragon Soul Set was her masterpiece, and to obtain it, there were only two options: absolute loyalty or sufficient value to win her over.

Firstly, if Nana and the others work hard, they still have a chance in the future. Secondly, they should basically forget about anything below the Title Douluo level. She can't tolerate the frustration of having her hard work tarnished by weaklings.

"By the way, just so you know, this soul bone was modified by myself, so there's a certain degree of uncertainty involved, but..."

"Is that so?"

Before Qian Lingyun could finish speaking, Bai Yuan's expression changed. She stared at the six soul bones in mid-air, speechless. The sight of the six soul bones reflecting each other was something she had never seen before. She was filled with anticipation for the fusion of this magical set of soul bones.

After accepting the soul bone, Bai Yuan bowed to Qian Lingyun and said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for some unavoidable predicament, who would willingly be stuck at level ninety-one! Even if I die from these soul bones today, I'll accept it!"

After speaking, Bai Yuan walked alone into the inner room.

Oh no, you... why do you make it sound like my soul bone is some kind of poison?

Qian Lingyun looked at Bai Yuan's lonely figure with a complicated expression, but in the end she couldn't help but follow her. She wanted to see if her soul bone set was reliable!
