Di Tian's gaze subtly swept behind him once, then he spoke:
"Very well. Whatever you want, this seat will fulfill your requests to the best of my ability."
Shen Hanyu chuckled a couple of times lightly before saying:
"Give me one Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear palm bone, two soul bones produced by Emerald Swans, the latter must be no less than one hundred thousand years old, plus three more hundred thousand-year soul bones and five other ten-thousand-year soul bones. How about it?"
"I believe that with the Star Dou Great Forest's accumulation over tens of thousands of years, a mere few soul bones shouldn't be any problem…"
Di Tian's expression remained unchanged as he said in a deep voice:
"Acceptable…"
"But I must remind you that the soul rings and soul bones produced by Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears are almost impossible for human soul masters to absorb. If absorption fails, losing a limb would be minor; in the worst case, your life could be in danger…"
Shen Hanyu smiled indifferently and replied:
"No need to trouble yourself with concern over that, Beast God. I have my own judgment."
Di Tian glanced at Shen Hanyu, then his figure vanished from the spot, leaving behind only one sentence:
"The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear palm bone will take some time…"
Snow Empress tugged at Shen Hanyu's hand and said softly:
"That Co-Lord…"
Shen Hanyu took her slightly cool small hand in return and said gently:
"No need to worry. Before the Silver Dragon King fully recovers, they face too many concerns and threats. They don't dare to truly tear relations with us and gain another opponent with enormous potential to become a god. The current situation has never been favorable for them, and the Silver Dragon King's injuries are extremely severe. Even without knowing what she needs the Fire Dragon King's remains for, she absolutely won't pose a threat to us in the short term…"
Snow Empress nodded slightly and then said no more.
…
It didn't even take Di Tian more than half an hour for the round trip.
When he returned, Bi Ji, in her green long skirt, was by his side.
Di Tian waved his hand lightly, and a palm bone radiating a violent aura slowly floated into the air.
The bone was not large, shaped like a palm, but the front had five elongated, sharp blades, resembling miniaturized terror claws. Dark golden light flowed across the blades like rippling water, giving it the feeling of a divine weapon.
With a surge of soul power, the five elongated blades slowly retracted, replaced by an ordinary palm bone.
Di Tian slowly sent it to Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu unceremoniously accepted it, roughly estimated its age, and placed it into his storage soul guidance device.
Then Di Tian presented three more different soul bones.
Under the control of Di Tian's vast soul power, the three soul bones slowly floated before Shen Hanyu. Di Tian said softly:
"The first is a left leg bone from a hundred thousand-year Purple Lightning Demon Mink."
"The second is a right arm bone from a hundred thousand-year-old Blue-eyed Demon Ape."
"The third is a hundred-thousand-year Dark Spirit Demon Bat skull."
"These three hundred thousand-year soul bones all come from ten-thousand-year soul beasts that fell in the Star Dou Great Forest over the past ten thousand years. Now, they are yours."
Shen Hanyu nodded slightly and stored the three soul bones one by one.
After that, Di Tian handed over five more various soul bones to Shen Hanyu. These soul bones were extremely well preserved, with ages all above forty-five thousand years, each one a top-grade soul bone.
Shen Hanyu couldn't help but sigh at the Star Dou Great Forest's immense wealth. To produce so many top-grade items at once without the slightest hesitation or reluctance was understandable. Soul beasts had no use for soul bones anyway, so offering them now as "repayment" made sense.
Bi Ji sighed softly, then took out two soul bones radiating a rich life aura and slowly handed them to Shen Hanyu.
"This right arm bone is a hundred thousand years old, left behind by one of our clan's ten-thousand-year Emerald Swans shortly after surviving a heavenly tribulation…"
"The Emerald Swan clan is sparse in number, and cultivation is extremely difficult. Producing a soul beast above a hundred thousand years is already incredibly rare. This eighty thousand-year torso bone is already the highest-age soul bone our clan has preserved…"
Shen Hanyu accepted the two soul bones and nodded lightly. He understood the rarity of Emerald Swans, as rare healing-type soul beasts, even producing one ten-thousand-year specimen was extraordinarily difficult.
Bi Ji sighed again, then looked deeply at Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress before slowly turning and disappearing into the forest…
Di Tian closed his eyes for a moment, then said:
"Leave the core area. Unless necessary, we do not wish to provoke an enemy like you…"
Shen Hanyu nodded. Holding Snow Empress's hand, he was about to turn and leave when he suddenly paused, slowly turned back, and said to Di Tian:
"The conflict and hatred between the Divine Realm and soul beasts cannot be reconciled, but that does not mean humans and soul beasts cannot cooperate. For the sake of maximum benefit, hatred can be diluted or even forgotten. I do not yet know what lies ahead, nor do I know the attitudes of the gods in the heavens. On matters where compromise is possible, we can always discuss…"
"Always remember one phrase: All under heaven hustle for profit; all under heaven bustle for profit…"
Di Tian nodded, watching as Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress gradually departed…
Bi Ji returned, slowly appearing beside Di Tian, and said softly:
"I cannot see clearly what attitude he and Snow Empress hold…"
Di Tian chuckled lightly and said:
"His attitude is very clear. To obtain the highest possible benefit for himself, he can choose to cooperate with us, but he can also become our enemy at any moment. He prefers to linger on the edges of all non-essential forces first, then make his own judgment. What allows him to make that judgment depends on the attitudes of our master and us…"
Bi Ji sighed softly again and asked:
"How is our master's condition? Last time I treated her, although her condition was improving, at the current rate it would still take at least twenty thousand years…"
Di Tian's golden eyes gazed toward the sky as he said calmly:
"Now it is no longer necessary…"
Bi Ji was stunned and asked:
"You mean?"
"Although the divine power on Uncle Fire Dragon King's remains has dissipated or transferred to that human youth, the corpse's strength itself still reaches the level of a first-rank god. Our master's wisdom comes from the Dragon God ancestor. Once she uses special methods to refine the divinity within to repair her injuries, the wounds caused by the Asura Demon Sword can recover at least thirty percent…"
Di Tian said softly.
"Once our master's injuries recover more than thirty percent, she will no longer need to fall into prolonged slumber for healing. For us, this is undoubtedly good news…"
Bi Ji nodded gently and said:
"What about the Three-Eyed Golden Lion? Is it still by our master's side?"
Di Tian shook his head and said:
"I have already taken the auspicious beast out. Now Chiwang is arranged to protect the auspicious beast at close range. No need to worry about the auspicious beast's safety…"
Bi Ji gave an "mm" and, together with Di Tian, watched the setting sun slowly descend in the distance until night fully fell…
