After actively guiding her soul power, the spider legs, which stretched over three meters behind Meng Yiran, began to slowly fold, gradually merging into her back.
This process seemed incredibly difficult compared to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan carefully observed the changes in Meng Yiran's body, analyzing why she was having such a hard time controlling it.
External Soul Bones were rare, but once fused, they should become like a part of the body, easy to control.
After some thought, Xiao Yan understood the reason.
Meng Yiran's physical condition was still somewhat lacking compared to him and Zhu Zhuqing.
She hadn't undergone the meridian-nourishing step, and her improvement after only one medicinal bath was far less significant than Zhu Zhuqing's.
She was already at her limit after fusing with a two-thousand-year Soul Ring. Controlling this External Soul Bone was clearly a challenge.
Controlling the spider legs behind her, Meng Yiran felt her soul power being heavily consumed.
When her body's soul power had been depleted by about a third, Meng Yiran finally retracted all the spider legs behind her.
"Hah... huff..." Meng Yiran gasped heavily for a moment, raising her hand to wipe the fragrant sweat from her forehead. "It's so exhausting to retract these spider legs."
"Eat a Blue Silver Recovery Pill to restore your soul power," Xiao Yan said, opening his palm and quickly condensing a delicate blue-gold pill, which he handed to Meng Yiran.
After swallowing the pill, Meng Yiran immediately felt a gentle energy released from the small pill.
Then, following the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it entered her meridians. The internal energy she had consumed was restored at a terrifying speed.
"Something is strange after you absorbed your External Soul Bone. Sit down first, let me examine your physical condition," Xiao Yan said, raising his hand to grab Meng Yiran's wrist.
He didn't know much about this Soul Bone. If it caused any damage to Meng Yiran's body, it wouldn't be good.
Meng Yiran bent her slender legs and sat on the grass, extending her fair, white wrist.
Xiao Yan channeled a wisp of pure inner energy, placing his fingers on Meng Yiran's wrist.
"After merging with the Soul Ring, Meng Yiran's physical attributes have improved significantly compared to after the medicinal bath. Furthermore, with the help of the Soul Ring's energy, the big girl naturally broke through her third meridian, reaching the third level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
In addition..."
Controlling his inner energy, Xiao Yan followed the Mysterious Heaven Skill's circulation for three cycles on Meng Yiran, but he didn't find any damage.
Moreover, based on Meng Yiran's current pulse, her body was very healthy, even healthier than the average person.
Seeing Xiao Yan remain silent for a while, Meng Yiran asked proactively, "How is it?"
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, retracting his hand and said, "There's no problem. It's probably because you've just merged with the External Soul Bone and haven't adjusted yet. You'll need to practice more in the future."
He'd probably figured it out.
The reason Meng Yiran was having such a hard time controlling the External Soul Bone was because her physical condition wasn't up to par.
In other words, Meng Yiran's body and the Soul Bone weren't a match, for now.
In the future, if he trained Meng Yiran's body, improving her physical condition, this problem could be solved.
After solving the problem, Xiao Yan also noticed Meng Yiran's current state.
Her beautiful back was completely exposed, and her upper body was like she was wearing a minimalist sports bra, revealing a flat stomach without a trace of fat, like a beautiful snake's waist, which was slightly twisting.
Her slender legs were clad in a pair of torn stockings, contrasting sharply with the Blue Silver Grass on the ground.
"I'll go out first. You should change your clothes. The night wind is strong, don't catch a cold." Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his nose, then got up and walked out of the vine house.
His eyesight had always been good. Although he didn't intend to stare, he briefly glanced and roughly judged that Meng Yiran's figure was even better.
"How's it going, Alliance Master?" Dragon Duke hurried forward and asked as he saw Xiao Yan walk out.
Xiao Yan said calmly, "No big deal. I gave Snake Granny the antidote for her poison, she just needs some time to neutralize it. As for your granddaughter, she not only successfully absorbed her third Soul Ring, but she also obtained an External Soul Bone."
"External Soul Bone?" Dragon Duke exclaimed, losing some of his composure.
He had only heard of such a thing.
External Soul Bones were a special case among Soul Bones.
They were even rarer than ordinary Soul Bones, and they could grow along with their owner. The earlier one obtained an External Soul Bone, the greater their potential for growth.
Could torturing Soul Beasts really increase the chance of a Soul Bone drop?
Dragon Duke couldn't help but think about catching some Soul Beasts later to torture them.
Although it wasn't quite as brutal as Xiao Yan's methods, which were almost too gruesome to watch, he could always drag it out a bit.
"Another External Soul Bone!" Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, was also stunned, staring at Xiao Yan.
Was it that his theory had succeeded, or was he just incredibly lucky?
Two Soul Beasts in a row had dropped Soul Bones, and what's more, they were External Soul Bones, far rarer than regular ones.
Someday, she thought, after Xiao Yan helps me nurture my meridians, I'll break through several levels like Zhu Zhuqing, and then he can take me to hunt Soul Beasts and get an External Soul Bone...
After a while, Snake Granny and Meng Yiran emerged from the vine house.
Meng Yiran had changed into a light blue dress.
Having integrated her third Soul Ring, Xiao Yan, with his sharp eyes, could immediately see that she had clearly grown up quite a bit.
Meng Yiran's facial features were exquisitely beautiful, sharply defined as if carved. Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her skin was crystal clear, and she wore delicate diamond earrings. Her deep, alluring almond-shaped eyes were captivating, with a hint of seduction in her gaze.
Her waist and upper body were straight, displaying stunning lines, and she wore a well-cut, luxurious, pale blue silk dress embroidered with exquisite clouds, which further accentuated her perfect figure.
Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, although detoxified, was still somewhat weak.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: It seems that after people get old, even a Soul Emperor's body is far inferior to that of the young.
"Old woman, how do you feel?" Dragon Duke supported Snake Granny, concerned.
"Thanks to the alliance leader's antidote, the poison from the Soul Bone that Yiran obtained was really too strong."
Seeing that Snake Granny was only physically weak and not seriously injured, Dragon Duke smiled, "External Soul Bones are extremely rare, so naturally, they possess some terrifying power."
Xiao Yan had originally wanted to continue discussing some matters of the sect, but suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura rapidly approaching.
Moreover, this person's aura was extremely sharp, clearly a strong-attack type Soul Master.
"Rongrong, you've made Sword Grandpa search for you."
