Lin Rong was also quite troubled about how to handle the three Spirit Bones passed down in his family.
The three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones passed down in the family were only a little over ten thousand years old.
The highest-aged Torso Bone was only around fifteen thousand years old, still nearly five thousand years short of twenty thousand years.
As a transmigator, not only should all six of his Spirit Bones be Hundred Thousand Year, but they shouldn't be lower than fifty thousand years!
Just look at the three great divine inheritors in the original work.
Tang San, that cheater, even his weakest Spirit Bone, the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Head Bone, was at least fifty thousand years old. Furthermore, it had fused with the Heart of the Sea God, making it even stronger than a typical Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Qian Renxue had six sets of Angel God equipment, each nine hundred ninety-nine hundred ninety-nine years old. They were all obtained from the same Spirit Beast, and absorbing the entire set was no weaker than a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Bibi Dong's Spirit Bone information was unknown.
However, Bibi Dong possessed three Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings. Among them, the ninth Spirit Ring for her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul was taken from a Hundred Thousand Year Death Spider Emperor, which also dropped two Hundred Thousand Year Arm Bones.
This meant Bibi Dong had at least four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
That left two Spirit Bones with unknown age.
Furthermore, Bibi Dong always believed in having more rather than less, and she had been delaying filling the Spirit Ring slots for her second Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, in pursuit of better options.
Therefore, the remaining two Spirit Bones of unknown age could not possibly be less than fifty thousand years old.
Compared to them, and then looking at the three Spirit Bones inherited by his own family.
With a mere little over ten thousand years of age and mediocre quality, he really had no desire to absorb them.
Moreover, these three Spirit Bones had been passed down in the Lin family for so long. Even if Lin Rong didn't like them, it wouldn't be appropriate to let outsiders absorb them.
Although the old butler wasn't considered an outsider in Lin Rong's heart, he wouldn't choose to have the old butler absorb these three Spirit Bones.
This was because Lin Rong wanted the old butler to absorb something better.
The six Spirit Bones in different positions, in order of preciousness, were:
Torso Bone, Head Bone, Right Arm Bone, Left Arm Bone, Left Leg Bone, Right Leg Bone.
As for the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King, which would become the old butler's ninth Spirit Ring in the near future, the Spirit Bone it dropped naturally had to be fixed on the most precious Torso Bone.
As for the Head Bone Spirit Bone, the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Head Bone, one of the championship prizes at the next Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament six years later, was a very good choice.
This way, among the three Spirit Bones inherited by the family, only the Right Arm Bone, which was in the third most precious position, had no clear target for the old butler.
The three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones inherited by the family could neither be given to outsiders nor were they presentable enough for his confidantes.
They were truly useless, wasting the top three most precious positions corresponding to their Spirit Bones. They could only be stored in Spirit Tools and gather dust.
...
In the manor's dining room.
Lin Rong smiled as he looked at the old butler, who was busy immediately after coming out of seclusion.
Having the old butler by his side made him feel so secure!
After the old butler finished his work, he looked at Lin Rong and said, "This old servant congratulates Young Master. In half a year, you've advanced from level twenty-seven Great Soul Master to level thirty-five Soul Elder."
"Young Master is truly the greatest genius this old servant has ever seen!"
"It's nothing, I just took three of these."
Lin Rong took out the jade bottle containing the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill and showed it to the old butler. He said, "This pill was refined from the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma and medicinal herbs personally collected by Yang Wudi. The medicinal effects are good. Although for me, it only has the effect of increasing Soul Power without side effects."
Saying that, Lin Rong explained the specific medicinal effects of the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill to the old butler.
The old butler had previously glimpsed the prowess of the Breaking Clan in alchemy from their treasured medicinal herb illustrated book.
Therefore, the old butler did not show surprise when he heard the effects of the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill. He only felt that the Breaking Clan was even more worthy of Young Master's recruitment.
This way, the precious medicinal herbs they obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye could exert their intended effects to the greatest extent.
However, the old butler did not ask Lin Rong how he planned to treat the Breaking Clan.
Because some matters were decided by the master and did not require the servant to ask, while matters the master had not decided, the servant should not speak unnecessarily.
"Grandpa Yu, you've just come out of seclusion. Rest for a few days first, and then we'll set off for the extreme north to obtain your ninth Spirit Ring."
Lin Rong walked to the old butler's side, leaned on his shoulder, and showed a rare childish innocence befitting an eight-year-old. He said, "During the half year you were in seclusion, there was no one in this vast manor to talk to me."
"Every day, besides eating and sleeping, the only thing to pass the time was cultivation."
"I was so bored I was almost going moldy!"
"So, for these few days, I won't concern myself with cultivation, and you, Grandpa Yu, don't need to concern yourself with the miscellaneous affairs of the manor."
"You've already let go for half a year anyway, so letting go for a few more days won't hurt."
The old butler looked at Lin Rong's demeanor, smiled helplessly, and replied, "Young Master, since you've said it like this, how can this old servant refuse?"
During these few days of rest and relaxation.
The old butler also began preparing the necessary items for the journey to the extreme north.
Items such as maps, rations, and warm clothing all needed to be meticulously checked by the old butler.
Meanwhile, Lin Rong sat to the side, observing the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng planted in the flowerpot before him.
As the key item for this plan.
Over the past six months, after absorbing the soil brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng's age had grown from just over five thousand years to just over seven thousand years.
And the soil that had absorbed the energy from the dual springs of extreme cold and scorching sun had only been used up by less than thirty percent. The remaining seventy percent of the soil would have no problem supporting the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng's growth for the remaining three thousand years.
The Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, one was the king of ginseng, and the other was the queen of ginseng.
When one appeared near the other, they would naturally attract each other.
Therefore, as long as Lin Rong had the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, he could lure out the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King in the extreme north where it resided.
As an immortal grade medicinal herb with spiritual sentience, the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King possessed immense cultivation but lacked corresponding power.
As such, the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King did not possess the formidable strength to rival Titled Douluo like a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
The only thing to guard against was the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King's exceptionally skilled Earth Escape technique.
However, Lin Rong was not overly concerned about this.
Because the old butler's Martial Soul, the Star Disc, possessed extremely strong control effects, with several Spirit Skills that were highly effective against the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King's Earth Escape technique.
Furthermore, to be absolutely safe.
Lin Rong had also specifically used over forty thousand Dragon Whisker Needles to create a golden spherical cage within the range of his Mind Mirror, using the power of mental force to interfere with reality.
And the Earth Escape technique was ineffective against pure gold.
Therefore, as long as the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King appeared within the coverage of his Mind Mirror, it would be trapped with no escape.
Regarding Bibi Dong's Spirit Rings.
Bibi Dong's first Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, had the following Spirit Rings:
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red.
One yellow, three purples, four blacks, and one red, this was undisputed.
Her second Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, when Tang San first encountered Bibi Dong, her Spirit Rings were:
Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red.
Five blacks and two reds, one of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings belonged to Xiao Wu's mother, and the other Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was unknown.
However, by the time Tang San encountered Bibi Dong for the second time, her Spirit Rings had changed to:
Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Black, Black.
Six blacks, one red, and two blacks.
This situation could either be a typo by the original author or due to the Rakshasa God's divine trial. Since Bibi Dong did not successfully hunt Da Ming and Er Ming, her trial did not meet the standard, and the year limit of her sixth Spirit Ring was reduced by fifty thousand years.
