Chapter 153 The Right Leg Bone of the 100,000-Year-Old Blue Silver Emperor

Han Li, who hadn't paid attention to these things or didn't care about them at all, had already returned to the hotel.

"Back so soon? Judging from your expression, you've got something good?"

Dugu Bo looked at him with surprise. Only a little over an hour had passed since Han Li left.

"It's said to be a gift from nature, so of course it won't take long to be used up."

Han Li answered with a smile, then looked at the lone Dugu Bo and asked, "Where are Sister Yan and the others?"

"They're all cultivating in their rooms, and no one's even offered to keep this old man company."

Although Dugu Bo spoke words of reproach, his tone and expression showed considerable satisfaction.

He had naturally seen the changes in his granddaughter over the past few years, as well as Xiuer and Shui Bing'er. Perhaps influenced by Han Li, they were both extremely dedicated to cultivation.

"Sometimes, I feel like there's something chasing after me, making me eager to become stronger, and the same goes for the others."

"If I were as strong as you at your age, I would definitely show off all over the continent."

Dugu Bo said this half-jokingly.

"Perhaps it really is."

Han Li also answered truthfully with a smile.

Dugu Bo smiled when he heard his words, not taking them seriously, and assumed that he was just responding to his joke.

"By the way, nature's bounty... let me guess, you haven't found another place like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, have you?"

Dugu Bo looked at Han Li with some suspicion. Based on his understanding of Han Li, it seemed that it really wasn't impossible.

"No, there are definitely places like that on the mainland, but I wouldn't dare go there for the time being," Han Li replied honestly.

"There really is such a place?"

Dugu Bo was taken aback by his words. It seemed that he knew nothing about the mainland.

"Of course, but let alone you, even the Grand Elder probably won't come back. Do you still want to know?"

Han Li raised an eyebrow at Dugu Bo.

"No, I haven't lived enough yet."

Dugu Bo shook his head decisively. He could live for hundreds of years without any problem and had no intention of seeking death.

"You're quite insightful, I thought you'd be eager to ask more questions."

Han Li said with a smile, "If this were my master, he would have asked the questions with great interest long ago."

"I'm not your master, I'm not that curious. I'm looking forward to holding my grandson. You can't go back on your word. You and Yan Yan must have a child with the surname Dugu. Martial soul doesn't matter."

Dugu Bo winked at Han Li. Even though he was now a handsome middle-aged man, his expression made him look somewhat sleazy.

"You're in too much of a hurry."

Han Li glared at him, feeling both annoyed and helpless.

"No rush, no rush, I was just saying, as long as you don't change your mind."

This wasn't the first time Dugu Bo had brought up this matter. Now that he no longer had to worry about the poison, he was quite bored, so he simply came up with this idea.

"What exactly did you find?"

Dugu Bo then noticed that the topic had gone astray, and looked at Han Li again, too lazy to guess anymore.

"Let's go to their room, so I don't have to tell them a second time."

Han Li walked towards the three women's room. They were staying in a suite, which saved him the time of calling them one by one.

"Too."

Dugu Bo followed behind him and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was opened.

Han Li and Dugu Bo went straight in and then used their soul power to seal off the entire room.

"So mysterious?"

The group of people curiously gathered around him, wanting to see what he had gained.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Han Li flipped his left hand, and a soul bone instantly appeared in his palm.

The moment the soul bone appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to it. The soul bone was a crystal clear blue-gold color, with what seemed like twinkling starlight inside.

The group had seen soul bones before, and in fact, everyone had one. But this one was different. Not only was it extremely complete, but more importantly, in their perception, the soul bone in front of them felt as if this right leg bone actually possessed a life of its own.

"What kind of spirit beast produced this spirit bone? It's so powerful and unique! Ordinary spirit bones aren't worth your attention."

Dugu Bo leaned over and took a few glances before looking up and asking.

"Blue Silver Grass".

Han Li casually tossed the soul bone to the three women, telling them to go and watch it from the side. They had always liked these shiny things.

"Blue Silver Grass? Can Blue Silver Grass grow to this extent? And its life force is so pure."

Dugu Bo said in surprise, he had seen blue silver grass of the thousand-year level before, but he had never paid attention to those of higher age.

"Of course, Blue Silver Herbs are the most abundant plants on the continent. With such a large population, some will inevitably stand out from the crowd."

Han Li smiled and offered an explanation.

"What you said makes sense. A phoenix can mutate from a chicken coop, so it's not impossible for Blue Silver Grass to become a high-level soul beast."

Dugu Bo habitually touched his chin, only to realize that his beard had long been shaved clean.

He lowered his hand with some regret before turning to look at Han Li: "However, it can't be because it's rare that you made a special trip for this, right? I can feel that it contains a lot of energy."

"Of course not."

Han Li glanced at the soul bone that the three of them were playing with, and a smile appeared on his face: "After all, this is a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

"One hundred thousand years?"

Dugu Bo's voice unconsciously rose a lot, and the three women beside him naturally heard it as well, and their movements as they held the soul bone became gentler.

"You're taking too much risks. Why didn't you ask me to come with you? Do you know how dangerous it is? Even Blue Silver Grass, which can cultivate for 100,000 years, is no ordinary plant. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to Yan Yan and your master?"

After his initial surprise, Dugu Bo's expression quickly darkened, and he looked at Han Li with a serious expression.

Han Li was taken aback by his reaction and then smiled, "Grandpa, you've misunderstood. I didn't fight it. Have you forgotten that I said this is a gift from nature?"

"Don't tell me you found this soul bone?"

Dugu Bo looked at him with an expression that said, "You're kidding me."

"Believe it or not, I really found it. I just followed my instincts and flew around in the mountains. When I got tired, I landed to rest, and that's when I found it in a cave."

Han Li made that kind of expression, leaving the others speechless.

"However, I did learn about its origin in the cave."

Han Li took the soul bone and waved it in his hand.

"Do you remember the time more than a decade ago when the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall hunted down Tang Hao? Do you remember the statement issued by the Spirit Hall at that time?"

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "Colluding with soul beasts? If I remember correctly, that was the initial reason. Wasn't that just an excuse Qian Xunji made up?"

"No, to be precise, Chihiro, uh, what the former Pope said is true."

Han Li weighed the soul bone in his hand.

"Soul beast? Soul bone? It can't be what I'm thinking, can it? I thought it was just a legend."

Dugu Bo showed an expression of disbelief, and the three women beside him also slightly opened their mouths.

"Congratulations, you have confirmed another rumor. This soul bone is what Tang Hao's wife left behind after her soul beast took human form and died."

Han Li smiled and looked at the group, confirming their guess.

"It's true, Xiao Li! Do you think there might still be quite a few 100,000-year-old soul beasts hiding in human society? Should I go look for them?"

Dugu Bo said excitedly, and his first reaction left Han Li dumbfounded.

He looked at Dugu Bo with a mix of amusement and exasperation: "Grandpa, where are you going to find so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts?"

Upon hearing his words, Dugu Bo chuckled awkwardly before realizing that he had been too optimistic.

"What do you mean? Tang Hao is here too? No wonder you told me to conceal my aura. If we run into each other, we'll inevitably have to fight."

After the initial excitement subsided, Dugu Bo realized the hidden meaning in Han Li's words, and his expression became uncertain.

After all, Tang Hao's previous battle record was indeed quite impressive. He had only recently reached level 94, and if they were to meet, he wasn't entirely confident that he could fully protect these little guys.

"Yeah, I only realized it later, but he's already disappeared again, so we don't need to worry about him for now."

Han Li did not provide a specific explanation, but his words relieved Dugu Bo.

"Then you should absorb the soul bone quickly, so that nothing unexpected happens. I'll protect you."

Dugu Bo looked at Han Li seriously and urged him on.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Han Li nodded. He did indeed need the soul bone to support the rapid improvement of his physique. His subsequent plans would all depend on the support of the soul bone.

"Alright, you all go and cultivate too. I'll keep an eye on things."

Dugu Bo also looked at the three women beside him.

"Um."

They glanced at Han Li and then walked to the side to begin their cultivation. Han Li was about to advance to the next level, and they had to work hard to catch up.

Han Li didn't hesitate either. He casually chose a place to sit down, then placed the soul bone close to his right leg and mobilized his soul power to make contact with it.

Buzz

Amidst the slight buzzing sound, Han Li felt his right leg tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a cool sensation quietly seeped into his leg from all directions, and the crystal-clear blue soul bone quietly disappeared, transforming into countless streams of blue-gold energy that lingered around his right leg.

Cool and comfortable, unlike Han Li's domineering soul power, the energy released by the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone was subtle and gentle, and full of resilience.

Under Han Li's control, the blue-gold energy rapidly spread throughout his body, nourishing his meridians and body, and even permeating his bones.

She felt no resistance whatsoever. Not only was this a collection of life force, but it was also something Ah Yin had left for her husband and son, so how could it possibly have any intention of harming her?

Feeling his body and soul power rapidly increasing under the influence of the soul bone, Han Li sighed inwardly and proactively accelerated the fusion process.
