Blue Silver Grass Strategy

There was no fighting, no bloody battle, and even the soul power was not consumed much. He died so easily in his own hands. Dugu Bo felt a sense of unreality as if he was in a dream.

"Senior, you don't think it's so easy to resist the two thunderbolts in front of you, right?"

Ling Yi raised his foot to crush a piece of brittle stone beside his feet, feeling the slight numbing sensation between his toes, and asked.

Under such divine power, "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" seemed to have taken it easily, but the consumption in the process was so great that it was definitely beyond the imagination of those who experienced it firsthand.

This was also the reason why Ling Yi looked solemn when he discovered that the "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" was using the power of heavenly thunder to dissipate the sacred sword energy left by Qian Daoliu.

Fortunately, the "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" at that time was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and was caught off guard by the sudden attack of "Medusa". The injuries that were originally expected to recover not only failed to solve the root problem, but also because of being stuck in the battle, unable to mobilize soul power to suppress it, the remaining sacred sword energy went into riot, posing a death threat to it from within.

Dugu Bo was in a trance, but after the death of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi", purple-black soul power began to dissipate from its body.

Gradually, as time passed, a circle of dark halo gathered and took shape above the corpse of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi".

Ling Yi waved at Yang Xueli and Ah Yin, signaling them to pay attention to the mountain and be prepared. At the same time, he said to Dugu Bo:

"Senior, please absorb the spirit ring quickly. We have waited for so long. Xiao Xin and A Yin must be getting impatient in Tian Dou City—"

"Ok!"

Dugu Bo nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, sat cross-legged in front of the corpse of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi", mobilized his soul power, and pulled the dark soul ring.

Seeing Dugu Bo's face solemn and his capillaries showing signs of bursting under the huge amount of soul power entering his body, Ling Yi was not worried. Over the years, Dugu Bo had been practicing the body-building secret methods created by Ling Yi, and in terms of physical fitness, he was also a leader among the beast spirit masters of the same level.

In addition, he didn't fight much from beginning to end. Whether in terms of mental state, soul power or physical strength, Dugu Bo was at his peak. Even so, he couldn't absorb the soul ring of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" smoothly. Then Ling Yi should doubt whether Dugu Bo in the original timeline absorbed the soul ring of this soul beast.

Seeing Dugu Bo immersed in the absorption of the soul ring, Yang Xueli and A Yin also came to the edge near the halfway point of the mountain, paying attention to the movements below the mountain. Ling Yi's eyes turned to the corpse of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" and "Medusa", who was not completely dead yet and had no soul ring condensed.

Similar to the inner elixir in Dragon Ball, and the ten thousand year old head soul bone of Dugu Bo in the original plot.

It must be said that these two are definitely good things, but what Ling Yi is considering at this time is not to take these two good things for himself, but how to use them on Dugu Bo to maximize the other party's strength in order to complete his plan to build a protector.

Compared to Tie Fu Tu who is not good at fighting, although he is now a Soul Douluo, in Ling Yi's opinion, Dugu Bo, who was awarded the title of "Poison Douluo" in the original work, has undoubtedly more powerful potential.

Chapter 279 The Ownership of Soul Bones

When Dugu Bo successfully absorbed the soul ring, the soul power barrier in his body was broken, and he was successfully promoted to level 71. He even took a big step forward and was only one step away from level 72. Nearly an hour had passed.

After opening his eyes, before Dugu Bo could feel the changes in himself, his attention was attracted by two things placed in front of him.

A purple-black round bead the size of an ordinary person's fist, and a green crystal bone that looks similar to a human skull.

These two things were placed on a square stone, only a few meters away from where Dugu Bo was sitting cross-legged. They were within reach if he just leaned forward a little or stretched out his hand.

His gaze first paused on the purple-black round bead, feeling the familiar breath. It should be the inner elixir that the "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" had spewed out before to resist the heavenly thunder.

This is a good thing. It can be said that it is a dragon ball that contains nearly half of the power of the "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" except for the soul ring.

However, this thing is of no use to Dugu Bo, who has already become a Soul Saint. Even if he swallows it and absorbs it, the violent soul power of the soul beasts in it will be refined and consumed, and finally absorbed, which will not save Dugu Bo much time for cultivation.

It has been mentioned before that the soul master training system, after reaching the Soul Saint level, is no longer just a simple accumulation of soul power, but also involves the fusion of mental power and soul power.

The soul masters who are most suitable to absorb this inner elixir are the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels.

Those who are lower than the Soul King level cannot digest the violent energy in the inner elixir, and may even be injured by the violent energy impact. If it is a Soul Saint, it will take great pains to wear away the remaining fierceness of the demon dragon in the inner elixir energy, and then imprint it with one's own mental power. Compared with practicing by oneself and absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world for refining, it is not much faster. Compared with the effort put in, the little increase obtained is obviously not very cost-effective.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this demon dragon inner pill is useless. On the contrary, it is a rare treasure that is hard to find in the entire Douluo Continent!

Especially for soul masters whose martial souls are dragons and snakes!

After absorbing the soul ring of "Demonic Dragon Zi Xi", although he has not summoned his martial soul yet, Dugu Bo felt a subtle touch in his heart. His "Green Phosphorus Snake" martial soul seemed to have gained great benefits, a transformation in its origin!

Therefore, as the source of power of the "Demonic Dragon Zi Xi", if this inner elixir is absorbed by a soul master whose martial soul is a dragon or snake, it is very likely to strengthen the opponent's martial soul's origin, thereby sublimating and evolving the martial soul!

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Dugu Bo had already thought about giving the demon dragon's inner elixir to his son Dugu Xin.

Dugu Bo moved his gaze away from the demon dragon's inner elixir and looked at the green crystal-like skull placed side by side with the inner elixir.

At first glance, Dugu Bo didn't care much, but within a moment, Dugu Bo's gaze suddenly fixed and he became serious.

"Soul bone?!"

Two heavy words came out of Dugu Bo's mouth.

These are words that can attract attention anywhere in the entire Douluo Continent.

In the world of soul masters in Douluo Continent, there is a "Soul Master Dream List" selected spontaneously by soul masters.

No matter how the content and rankings of this list change, or how there are disputes among different soul masters, the top three have remained largely unchanged.

The first one was the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, which was considered a fantasy-level treasure that was almost impossible to exist.

Just like the ranking of military strength in the late Han Dynasty, no matter how the others were ranked, Lu Bu was the first. Guan Yu saw everyone as a traitor, and the only person who could make him bring his third brother, who was "brave as a thousand men", to beat him up was Lu Bu.

Similarly, over the thousands of years of Douluo Continent, many Titled Douluo have emerged, but soul masters who can obtain a hundred thousand year soul ring currently only exist in legends.

The second is the external soul bone. The relevant information has only been circulated among the mouths of some major forces. Ordinary soul masters have only heard of it but do not know its ability. However, it can be recognized by those major forces, so its credibility is naturally very high.

The third one is the soul bone. No matter whether it is a hundred thousand year soul bone, a ten thousand year soul bone, or a thousand year soul bone, they are all rare treasures that ordinary soul masters can only dream of but cannot reach. They are treasures that can make brothers turn against each other and husbands and wives stab each other.

So, why is such a precious soul bone placed so openly in front of him, and within reach?

Dugu Bo was a little confused at this moment.

"Senior, have you successfully absorbed the spirit ring?" Ling Yi's voice sounded in his ear at the right time, waking Dugu Bo up.

Dugu Bo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome young man standing in front of a pale skeleton not far away, holding a knife and smiling at him.

It was Ling Yi. The blade of the butcher knife in his hand was spotless and shiny, and his white teeth seemed to carry a hint of coldness.

Dugu Bo shuddered subconsciously to dispel the strange feeling that had just arisen in his heart.

Before Dugu Bo could say anything, Ling Yi's words came again: "Senior, I won't be polite with you. I will pack up this corpse of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" and take it away--"

As he spoke, Ling Yi held the knife in his right hand, raised his left hand and pointed at the demon dragon's inner elixir and the soul bone in the shape of a green crystal skull on the stone in front of Dugu Bo, and said: "Senior, you will absorb the inner elixir and soul bone--"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo had a dreamy feeling. He stared at Ling Yi blankly, his eyes fixed on the still open mouth, but his ears could no longer hear any sound.

Forget about the demon dragon's inner elixir. Although Dugu Bo did intend to give it to his son Dugu Xin to absorb, this soul bone, if it had not been discovered, it would have been fine. But this...

Dugu Bo asked himself in his heart, if he were in Ling Yiyi's shoes, would he give up this dream treasure of 100,000 soul masters in Douluo Continent after discovering the soul bone?

Dugu Bo couldn't give an answer.

In other words, this is already an answer.

To put it more extremely, if after killing the "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" before, Dugu Bo was not so anxious to absorb the soul ring, but discovered this soul bone with Ling Yi, then... would he, Dugu Bo, choose to strike first?

On the other side, after Ling Yi said a few words to Dugu Bo, he watched the other party's face change from blue to red, his eyes were sometimes confused, sometimes flashing with fierceness, as if he was performing a very exciting drama.

Shaking his head, Ling Yi said nothing more. He turned around and continued to dismember the huge body of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi".

The dragon scales and dragon skin were peeled off and stored away completely. The dragon eyes, dragon teeth, dragon horns, and dragon whips were sorted and placed into special containers. While the corpse was still alive, the dragon blood was drawn out through the arteries, filling up several large vats.

To complete this, all that is required is to separate the pieces of meat and fascia, as well as the bones and internal organs.

Fortunately, when he was in Gengxin City before, Ling Yi had already initially replicated the manufacturing technique of storage soul guides. Although the internal space of the storage soul guides that can guarantee stable use is not very large, only about one to three cubic meters, but quantity can win, so just use more.

As for the body of "Medusa", Ling Yi had already put it into the "Ruyi Treasure Bag".

To be precise, after the head soul bone was dug out, Ling Yi sealed it together with the gathering soul rings into the third "Coffin of Vitality" and then put it into the "Ruyi Treasure Bag".

The first "Life Coffin" contained Ling Yi's spare body, which had now been completely replicated, including the skull, scalp, hair, and even the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue. Except for... the brain.

In the second "coffin of vitality" is the fallen soul king Minghe who has completely turned into a vegetable. The "blood-sucking vine" is still diligently performing its function. Unfortunately, it still cannot break through the barrier and enter the ten thousand year limit.

The last bit of life force in "Medusa" was shattered by Ling Yi. Naturally, the spirit ring condensed on "Medusa" and its energy were also locked on Ling Yi. That is to say, Ling Yi's spirit power did not meet the standard at this time, otherwise he could really absorb it as the fifth spirit ring.

Fortunately, although Ling Yi himself could not absorb this 23,000-year-old soul ring, he could use the Qi to pull "Medusa's" soul ring together with the corpse into the "Coffin of Vitality", and seal it with a soul guide array. With the existence of the other "Coffin of Vitality" containing Ling Yi's spare body, the Qi transfer went relatively smoothly.

For Ling Yi, the technical node of sealing the soul ring has been initially conquered. But Ling Yi wants to go a step further and solve the problem of soul ring qi locking.

If this problem can be solved, it means that the soul ring will become a salable commodity.

In this way, one of his subsequent plans will have a core competitiveness and will become easier to achieve.

There are still too few spirit rings in my hands, and there is no large enough database for comparison. Even for Ling Yi, it is difficult to directly find the medium that the spirit ring of the spirit beast locked and killed his spirit master. Even if I am lucky enough to find it on a spirit ring, how to remove this lock is also a big research topic.

Thinking of this, Ling Yiwei sighed: "I still need some research assistants——"

Although he sighed, Ling Yi's hands did not slow down at all. The body of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi" was quite huge. The widest part of its diameter was nearly three meters, and its length was almost ten feet!

The specially forged butcher knife was in the shape of a narrow triangle, and the tip of the knife was extremely sharp. With the blessing of Ling Yi's soul power, it was like a hot knife cutting butter, moving very smoothly on the body of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi", following the muscle texture, cutting off pieces of meat fat that were either as red as jade or as white as ice. Often Ling Yi would just swing the knife horizontally and vertically a few times, and then activate a storage soul guide to take away the pieces of meat, leaving the bones that were harder than fine iron and as beautiful as jade in place.

It took Dugu Bo nearly an hour to absorb the soul ring, and it took Ling Yi almost an hour and a half to split the body of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi".

During this half hour, Dugu Bo finally couldn't suppress the desire in his heart and absorbed the ten thousand year old "Medusa" skull.

After absorbing it, Dugu Bo, perhaps out of guilt or embarrassment, stood there for a while, then walked forward to help Ling Yi cut off the remaining tail of "Demon Dragon Zi Xi".

But obviously, some things require professional expertise. Compared to Ling Yi's ease, Dugu Bo was a bit of a hindrance.

You know, although Ling Yi is not a professional butcher, he has been playing with scalpels and carving knives for many years. Butchering an ox is just basic skills. He wouldn't dare to carve a painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival on a grain of rice, but it would only take some effort to carve a painting of Tang Bohu's ladies.

So, in the end, under Ling Yi's smiling gaze, Dugu Bo stepped back embarrassedly and watched Ling Yi collect the last piece of dragon meat from the tail in a few moves, leaving behind a complete dragon skeleton as white as jade, as clean as a dinosaur skeleton in a dinosaur museum.

He raised his hand and summoned the "Blue Silver Grass" martial soul. Under the urging of soul power, blue vines climbed like spirit snakes, entangled the joints of the dragon bone. Under Ling Yi's strength, the nearly ten-foot-long dragon bone coiled up and turned into a mosquito coil-like disc. Finally, Ling Yi waved his hand and put it into the largest storage soul guide.

After completing all this, Ling Yi waved to A Yin and Yang Xueli who were waiting in the distance.

When the two women got closer, they looked up at the top of the mountain which was still shrouded in white mist and found that Ling Yi said to Dugu Bo: "Senior, let's go up and take a look. We could smell sulfur at the bottom of the mountain before. I think there is a crater connected to the underground lava."

"If that's the case, then I can use the underground fire here to forge a batch of real magic weapons and armor from the bones and scales of the Demonic Dragon Zi Xi."

"Otherwise, I'd have to go to Gengxin City and use the underground fire there. That would be a bit time-consuming.

But there is no other way. Without a strong enough flame, it is difficult to maintain a high temperature for a long time simply relying on ordinary charcoal and combustion aids..."

"Okay, let's go up and take a look." Dugu Bo nodded without hesitation.

Dugu Bo now has no opinion on Ling Yi's words. You know, with Ling Yi's help, he not only successfully hunted down the "Demon Dragon Zixi" who was more than 48,000 years old, absorbed the soul ring of this overlord-level dragon soul beast and advanced to Soul Sage, but also got a piece of "Medusa" head soul bone that was more than 23,000 years old. It was really a big profit!

Dugu Bo asked himself, this favor is something he will remember for the rest of his life!

It can be said that at this moment, in Dugu Bo’s heart, apart from his son Dugu Xin, Ling Yi is the person he cares most about in this world!

The kind that you can trust with life and death!

Seeing the light in Dugu Bo's eyes that was similar to that in Ah Yin and Yang Xueli beside him, Ling Yi still had a smile on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's go~"

As he said this, he was about to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Dugu Bo quickly leaped over Ling Yi and said, "Ayi, let me go ahead and explore the way..."

After saying that, without waiting for Ling Yi's reply, he quickly crossed dozens of meters and disappeared into the white mist covering the top of the mountain.

It's magical to say, after the heavy rain before and the two thunder strikes afterwards, most of the white fog above the halfway point of the mountain has dissipated, but the white fog on the top of the mountain seems to be stuck, with no signs of dispersing at all.

Seeing Dugu Bo had already rushed into the white fog, Ling Yi could only chase after him and shouted: "Senior! Be careful! We don't know what's going on up there——!"

Continue tomorrow, good night everyone~

Chapter 280: Ice and Fire

After hurrying for a while, when Ling Yi, A Yin and Yang Xueli caught up with Dugu Bo, they had already reached the top of the mountain.

Standing here and looking around, through the fog that has been mostly dispersed, you can see the dense forests all around and other shadowy mountains in the distance.

As for the scenery outside, Ling Yi and the others just casually glanced at it and then focused all their attention on the top of the mountain.

At first glance, except Ling Yi, Dugu Bo and the other two were all stunned by the terrain in front of them.

They saw that there was actually an inverted cone-shaped valley above. The top of the mountain where they were was at the edge of the valley. Thick hot air was rising from the valley. The hot air was very humid, and had a bit of the unique smell of sulfur, which was stronger than what they smelled when they were on the mountainside.

Ling Yi took a few steps forward and stood at the edge of the valley, looking down. His sight was blocked by the hot and humid water vapor after only a few dozen meters. He guessed:

"It seems that the underground fire vein here should be dormant, but there happens to be an underground water vein intersecting with it, forming a hot spring underneath."

"Hot spring?" Yang Xueli raised her eyebrows and showed some interest in her eyes.

Although Ah Yin next to her didn't say anything, her beautiful face showed a bit of eagerness, as if she also wanted to try the feeling of soaking in the hot spring.

Dugu Bo was not interested in taking a hot spring bath. He just looked thoughtfully at the condensed and lingering mist in front of everyone, shook his head and said, "No wonder the fog is so heavy here, it turns out to be the steam from the hot springs—"

"Let's go down and take a look." Ling Yi raised his chin and gestured to the three people around him.

After saying that, he jumped directly down.
