A soul bone radiating blue light lay quietly on the frozen beach.
With a sigh of relief, Guangling landed on the ground, bent down to pick up the soul bone, carefully examined it, and her expression changed slightly.
"As expected, it is a skull of wisdom condensed over 6 years. Heh, Star Luo Empire, you'd better not reveal any flaws."
Guangling sneered. This soul bone should have been a treasure in the Star Luo Empire's royal treasury, but it was given to Xiula. No wonder their emperor never wore it.
Chapter 33 The Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Immunity Soul Bone, Qian Xunji's Generosity
After swallowing five millennium whale capsules, Gu Han immediately felt a powerful and pure energy flowing through his body, strengthening his internal organs and meridians.
At the same time, Gu Han used the Nameless Qi Circulation Technique to guide these energies to circulate throughout his body along a predetermined path, eventually entering his lower dantian.
The pure energy transforms into attribute-less soul power, which eventually transitions into extremely cold soul power.
The energy in the lower dantian solidified a bit, and the lower dantian's energy sea expanded as a result.
With such immense energy, Gu Han could no longer suppress his level, and suddenly jumped from level 23 to the critical level 26, about to break through to level 27.
"As expected of whale glue from about five thousand years ago, the energy it contains is incomparable to that of ten or a hundred years."
Gu Han stood up, sensed the soul power within his body, and then checked his physical strength, which was almost twice as strong as before.
"Teacher, junior brother, I've broken through level 30!!"
A surprised voice rang out beside them. Bibi Dong, having also absorbed the whale gel, sprang up from the ground, excitedly sharing her joy.
Unlike Gu Han, Bibi Dong possessed exceptional innate talent. She only absorbed two whale capsules and jumped from the peak of level 28 to level 30 in one go, surpassing level 29.
Of course, if there weren't this rule of having a threshold every ten levels, Bibi Dong might have improved even more.
However, this is not a problem. This excess energy will accumulate and burst forth at the moment of breakthrough.
"Hmm, not bad."
Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and placed his hand on Bibi Dong's wrist, probing her body with his soul power, and smiled.
"Dong'er, your physique is now comparable to that of a Soul Master. Your third Soul Ring may be able to be used to fight Soul Beasts that are 6 to 9 years old."
"However, just to be on the safe side, you should refine the remaining three whale glue capsules first."
"Yes, Senior Sister, refining all this whale glue will greatly increase the success rate and safety of absorbing higher-age soul rings."
Gu Han chimed in, saying that Bibi Dong's talent was exceptional, and she possessed twin martial souls, making her even more demanding in terms of physique than him, since she also needed to add soul rings to her second martial soul.
If one's physical condition is not up to standard, the upper limit of the second martial soul will be much lower.
While whale glue can improve physical fitness, it is still somewhat inferior to spirit rings. If Bibi Dong could absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring with her fourth spirit ring, like Tang San, then the upper limit of Bibi Dong's second spirit ring would be even higher than in the original story.
"Well, I see."
Bibi Dong nodded obediently, suppressing her joy, ate the remaining whale glue, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to refine it.
Looking at Bibi Dong's chubby little face, Gu Han fell into deep thought. Speaking of which, was Bibi Dong's spiritual power enough to absorb for ten thousand years with her fourth soul ring?
After thinking for a moment, Gu Han said, "Teacher, if Senior Sister's third spirit ring absorbs a spirit ring with a lifespan of 9000 years, then her fourth spirit ring might be able to absorb one with a lifespan of 10,000 years."
"However, considering the mental impact of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, I think that perhaps Senior Sister's third soul ring could be used to target the mental soul beast."
"Or rather, find a spirit-type head spirit bone for Senior Sister, so as to make sufficient preparations for Senior Sister to absorb the fourth ten-thousand-year spirit ring."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, Dong'er's talent is exceptional. Now, with the help of whale glue, we do need to make some adjustments to Dong'er's future path."
"As for spirit-type spirit beasts, forget about them. After I've hunted the third spirit ring for Dong'er, I'll go to the treasure vault and get a spirit bone. If I remember correctly, there's a 7-year-old spirit-immune skull in the treasure vault."
"That soul bone is so precious that even I couldn't bear to absorb it and kept it in the treasure vault. It seems that I have to take it out now."
Qian Xunji remembered the soul bone that had been stored in the treasure vault for over ten years. That soul bone was left behind after the death of the previous generation of the Spirit Hall's enshrined elder.
Out of respect for the person who made the offering, no one chose to give it away, and it has been kept there ever since.
Now, for Bibi Dong's future, Qian Xunji feels it's time to make a decision that goes against the ancestors' wishes.
Although he might get beaten up by the elders and his father, Qian Xunji was going all out. He was doing this for the future of the Spirit Hall, and he believed that his father and the elders would understand him.
"The teacher is wise."
Gu Han was shocked when he heard about the 70,000-year-old mentally immune skull, and at the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at how rich the Spirit Hall really was.
Keep in mind that those were 70,000 soul bones, and they were mental type skull bones at that. Even titled Douluo would fight tooth and nail for them, yet Qian Xunji just took them out and gave them to Bibi Dong, a mere level 30 Soul Master.
However, considering the strength of the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong's identity, Gu Han felt that this was quite normal.
After all, Bibi Dong is a saintess, personally taught by the Pope, with innate full soul power and twin martial souls.
With talent and a powerful background, she's definitely a super-rich young woman. What's the big deal about absorbing a mere 7-year-old head bone?
Okay, Gu Han admits he was envious.
"Hehe, you don't need to be in such a hurry. I have some inside information. Guangling Douluo just obtained a 6-year-old spirit bone. Since you are my student, I won't show favoritism to you."
"I'll keep that soul bone for you. I'll give it to you when you break through level 30."
Although Qian Xunji couldn't see the envy in Gu Han's heart, he put himself in Gu Han's shoes. If it were him, he would naturally be envious after the person around him obtained a 70,000-year-old soul bone, let alone a young man like Gu Han.
Gu Han was taken aback. Had he made it that obvious?
But he was certain that he hadn't revealed any emotion at all, so how could Qian Xunji have seen through him?
However, he was still pleasantly surprised. Sure enough, joining the Spirit Hall was the right choice. Women would only affect his speed of drawing his sword, but the little rich woman would not.
Sure enough, after getting on good terms with Bibi Dong, he was also favored by her.
Without hesitation, Gu Han bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.
"Thank you, teacher. I will live up to your expectations, cultivate diligently, and not let you down."
Qian Xunji was always thinking of Bibi Dong's best interests, always giving her the best things. He truly treated her like a daughter.
Moreover, it's also good for him. He was willing to give a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual bone to a student with mediocre talent, which shows that he did indeed keep his word and would not show favoritism.
No matter how badly Qian Xunji was portrayed in the original work, Gu Han would no longer hate Qian Xunji, after all, the other party was genuinely good to him.
This further solidified Gu Han's determination to prevent the subsequent events from happening.
However, I remember that Qian Xunji's talent was not as good as that of the previous Angel Douluo. Perhaps there are immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes that can help him.
As for Qian Renxue, that child is still nowhere to be seen, and even if she is born, her talent is already god-level, so she doesn't need any immortal herbs at all.
Chapter 34: Heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Playful Bibi Dong
The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. It is home to a wide variety of soul beasts, ranging in age from ten to one hundred thousand years.
At this moment, in the small town outside the entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong was walking happily ahead, while Gu Han looked on helplessly as she followed behind.
"Senior sister, why do you insist that I come along too?"
"Besides, didn't the teacher say that they could just catch it for you? You just need to wait. Why did you have to run away?"
Bibi Dong turned around and shook her index finger.
“Junior brother, although we have special identities, we can’t just sit and wait for others to deliver everything to us. Besides, we’ve all grown up, and it’s time for us to go out and see the world.”
Looking at Bibi Dong's serious expression, Gu Han sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to come, but along the way, Bibi Dong kept looking around, saying she'd play here for a few days and there for a few days, completely forgetting about the important matter.
More importantly, this girl always insists on dragging Gu Han along when she goes out to play, and they end up spending the whole day together.
The beginning was fine, but Gu Han became genuinely scared towards the end. He really didn't understand what was so fun about shopping; he'd rather spend that time cultivating.
"Xiao Dongdong is right, you should learn more from him."
Upon hearing that alluring voice, Gu Han's lips twitched. He looked at one of the two people who had come with him. One of them was Yue Guan, and the other was dressed in black robes and hadn't uttered a single word the entire way. If he wasn't mistaken, it was Gui Mei.
With two Contras following along, as long as they don't head towards the core area, there's no need to worry about safety at all.
"Yes, Senior Yueguan is right. I really need to learn from my senior sister."
Gu Han didn't bother to argue and tactfully nodded in agreement.
"Junior brother, don't be upset. Here, this is a candied hawthorn I bought in Wuhun City."
Bibi Dong smiled and took out two candied hawthorns from her soul tool, keeping one for herself and handing the other to Gu Han.
"Thank you."
Gu Han didn't stand on ceremony at all. He thanked her and took the bag. He took a bite and found it to be sweet and sour, and the taste was quite good.
"Junior brother, the Star Dou Great Forest is just ahead. Do you think we might encounter some cute little rabbits there?"
Bibi Dong recalled the Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit she had seen when she was studying with Gu Han in the library. The little rabbit's appearance had softened Bibi Dong's heart, and she had even said that she would definitely catch one as a pet if she had the chance.
"There must be some Soft-Boned Charming Rabbits. After all, it's the Star Dou Great Forest. Let alone those that are hundreds or thousands of years old, there might even be some that are hundreds of thousands of years old."
Gu Han nodded. He had no objection to Bibi Dong raising rabbits or anything like that; as long as she was happy, that was fine. However, compared to raising them, he still preferred eating them.
After all, the flesh of a soul beast contains powerful energy, which can enhance the human body.
"Hahaha, what are you thinking, kid? It's rare enough to encounter a thousand-year-old soul beast like the Soft Bone Rabbit, let alone a hundred thousand years. You wouldn't even dream of doing that."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan couldn't help but laugh. This kid is usually quite smart, how come he's become stupid after just one trip?
A 100,000-year-old soft-boned rabbit? Are you sure you're not just kidding?
"Uh, Senior Yue Guan, I was just saying. Besides, the Star Dou Great Forest has existed for a very long time, so maybe it exists there?"
"Besides, nothing is absolute."
Gu Han chuckled. He would never argue about something so pointless. Even if Yue Guan believed him, so what?
Can we go to the Lake of Life to catch it right now?
Stop joking, isn't that just asking for trouble?
"A rabbit that's a hundred thousand years old..."
Perhaps due to the stereotype that even 100,000-year-old soul beasts are enormous, a super-sized pink rabbit suddenly appeared in Bibi Dong's mind. She then shook her little head and shook the image away.
"I think I'll pass. Pets are cuter when they're small."
"Senior sister, are you hungry?"
Gu Han wasn't hungry at first, but the thought of soul beast meat had just popped into his head. Plus, he had spent half the day with Bibi Dong and had eaten some sour things, so his stomach started to protest.
"I'm not hungry."
