"A hundred thousand year soul bone, hehe...what a great hundred thousand year soul bone."
Ye Ling looked at the soul bone in the lead box in his hand, with a playful expression on his face.
"Young Pavilion Master, is there any problem with this soul bone?"
Kong Deming, who was beside Ye Ling, asked with some confusion.
"The soul beast that dropped this soul bone must have died less than 100,000 years cultivation."
Ye Ling handed the lead box to Kong Deming.
"The Holy Spirit Cult must have used some catalytic method to push the age of this soul bone to 100,000 years."
Kong Deming took the soul bone but hadn't looked at it carefully yet. However, his eyes narrowed when he heard the three words "Holy Spirit Church".
"Young Pavilion Master, how did you know that the person who bought the Death Kiss Quasi-Ninth Level Soul Guidance Device was from the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"And this soul bone, how did you tell it was forcibly catalyzed?"
In terms of research on soul bones, especially research on hundred thousand year soul bones, the Sun Moon Empire cannot compare with the original Douluo Continent.
After all, in the entire Sun-Moon Empire, only Kong Deming possesses a hundred thousand year soul bone.
"The 100,000-year-old skull we used as a reward for the individual competition of the Continental High-level Soul Master Competition was dropped by a Blue Silver Emperor that I forcibly catalyzed to 100,000 years old."
Ye Ling pointed to the left arm bone in the lead box and explained.
"Ordinary soul beasts need to go through a heavenly tribulation to break through the hundred thousand year mark. Soul bones like this, which have not gone through a heavenly tribulation but have reached the hundred thousand year mark, still lack some spiritual charm compared to true hundred thousand year soul bones."
"Although the difference is not much, there are still some differences."
Kong Deming carefully looked at the soul bone in his hand and nodded after a moment.
"Yes, the hundred thousand year soul bone is like a living thing, but this soul bone is a dead thing."
After saying this, Kong Deming's eyes suddenly widened.
"Doesn't this mean that they used a fake 100,000-year soul bone to exchange for our quasi-ninth-level soul guide cannonball?"
"So I came to you, Master Kong, to ask if you can still locate and control that quasi-ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball?"
This is the main reason why Ye Ling came to find Kong Deming.
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming took out a palm-sized object shaped like a mirror from his arms. There was a red dot on it that was constantly glowing.
"That quasi-ninth-level soul guide shell is still within our monitoring range."
"We can detonate it at any time, and the detonator and tracking device are connected."
"If they forcibly dismantle it, this quasi-ninth-level soul guide shell will explode immediately."
Kong Deming looked at the tracking device in his hand and said.
"Just monitor it at all times."
Ye Ling sneered.
"The Soul Douluo from the Holy Spirit Church who came this time doesn't have obvious characteristics of a Fallen."
"If it weren't for his powerful yet complex mental strength, I wouldn't be sure."
The Holy Spirit Cult started in Douluo Dalu II and runs through the entire Douluo Continent timeline.
There is no doubt about its strength, but the most fundamental reason is that the Holy Spirit Church is too good at hiding.
"Find out where their lair is, and don't act rashly."
"Yes, Young Master."
Kong Deming nodded slightly, then put down the soul bone in his hand and left to track the whereabouts of the Holy Spirit Church.
"Young Pavilion Master, what do you want to call us for?"
Not long after Kong Deming left, Long Aotian and Vina, dressed in tight clothes, came to the small pavilion again.
"Aotian, you have worked hard to guard Gengjin City over the years."
Ye Ling looked at Long Aotian, whose appearance had not changed much but whose aura was obviously much calmer, and nodded involuntarily.
"Serving the sect is not hard at all."
Long Aotian bowed slightly towards Ye Lingwei, with an attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
Now Ye Ling was even more satisfied.
If there was no Huo Gua in the Peerless Tang Sect, then the title of the continent's number one genius should have belonged to Long Aotian.
"I think your current soul power level should be level 76."
Ye Ling looked up and down at Long Aotian with his dark golden pupils for a moment and then asked.
When Long Aotian was first summoned, his soul power level was seventy-two.
Now, five years have passed and his soul power has risen to level seventy-six.
In the realm of Soul Saint, it can be said to be very fast.
Upon hearing this, Long Aotian nodded without saying anything.
"This soul bone is the left arm bone dropped by a 100,000-year-old three-eyed golden-winged eagle. Take it and absorb it."
Ye Ling pointed at the lead box on the table and pouted at Long Aotian.
For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Long Aotian's face.
"You heard from Master Du that there is a piece of 100,000 soul bones inherited from the Body Sect in your right arm."
"Now I will give you another piece of 100,000-year soul bone for your left arm, which will complement each other perfectly."
Long Aotian was a little confused.
No, he really gave him a hundred thousand year soul bone with just a few words? Is this like giving away cabbage?
"Young Pavilion Master, this is too valuable. I..."
Long Aotian opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish his words, Ye Ling interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"This 100,000-year soul bone is given to you as a reward for your many years of service in defending Gengjin City."
"Secondly, I have a mission for you and Vina."
After hearing this, Long Aotian's expression was slightly relieved.
"Young Pavilion Master, please give your instructions."
"First, to break through to the Soul Douluo realm before the Continental High-level Soul Master Competition, the eighth soul ring must be a hundred thousand year soul ring."
"Of course, I will also give you a Qingshui Xuandan. This pill can increase your innate soul power by one level."
"You could do it?"
"I will follow the orders of the Young Pavilion Master."
Long Aotian bowed.
Absorbing the hundred thousand year soul bone can at least increase his soul power by one or two levels, plus the one level of innate soul power increased by the Qingshui Xuandan.
He has a great chance of breaking through the bottleneck of Contra in the near future.
As for the requirement of 100,000 years for the eighth soul ring, it was the goal he had set for himself.
"There's one more thing for you to be responsible for."
Ye Ling raised his hand and continued.
"But you two need to wait here for a while."
Although the two were a little confused, they chose to wait patiently.
About another cup of tea passed.
The two of them saw from afar Zhang Lexuan and a few people who looked like students coming to the outside of the pavilion.
"Young Master, these are the players I selected for our team this time."
Zhang Lexuan bowed slightly towards Ling and pointed to a group of students behind her and said.
"Please introduce yourself."
Ye Ling waved his hand.
"yes."
Zhang Lexuan nodded.
