"This is my intention..."
Yu Xiaogang spoke for a long time, but most of what he said was directly ignored by Bibi Dong.
Facing Yu Xiaogang's serious eyes, Bibi Dong tightly gripped the Spirit Bone in her hand.
"Then I'll accept it."
Her voice was very soft, so soft that Yu Xiaogang almost didn't hear it clearly.
Seeing Bibi Dong accept the Spirit Bone, Yu Xiaogang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bibi Dong was a super Genius; her identity was also that of the Pope of the Spirit Hall's Disciple, the future Holy Maiden, and she might even become the future Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Such a person could have conflicts with someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, but she couldn't have a fixed opinion of the entire faction.
Because once such a person of status and position harbored dissatisfaction, it would affect a series of future interactions between the two factions.
To resolve this conflict today, perhaps one Spirit Bone would be enough.
But if he didn't do this, by the time Bibi Dong became the Holy Maiden in the future, trying to use another Spirit Bone would be wishful thinking.
Yu Yuanzhen, who was off to the side, watched his son's actions dumbfounded.
Bibi Dong, who had accepted the Spirit Bone, turned her back to Yu Xiaogang. Although he couldn't see her expression at the moment, her flushed ears were enough to explain everything.
Yu Xiaogang, however, had a calm expression, seemingly not surprised by Bibi Dong's reaction.
In other words, his son probably thought this was a perfectly normal apology, completely devoted to other emotions.
But Bibi Dong on the other side didn't think that way.
"Good heavens, what is this?"
"Does this mean my son is naturally innocent, or that Bibi Dong is too easily moved?"
Honestly, Yu Yuanzhen truly hadn't expected his son's interactions with Bibi Dong to be like this.
Unaware that his father was scrutinizing him with a peculiar gaze, Yu Xiaogang, after settling things with Bibi Dong, turned his attention to the storage soul tool.
Now looking at this unremarkable storage soul tool, Yu Xiaogang felt a complex mix of emotions.
Who could have imagined that this small storage item contained wealth that could shake the entire Douluo Continent?
After taking out the Spirit Bones, some things remained inside, including a few books.
This remembered Yu Xiaogang of the diary he had obtained after killing that Spirit Saint earlier, so Yu Xiaogang took out the books inside.
"This is... an Essay Collection."
Yu Xiaogang quickly flipped through the contents of the Essay Collection and instantly understood that it was a Spirit Master's record of their own Cultivation process.
This was something many Spirit Masters would do during their Cultivation.
A bad memory is worse than a dull pencil; a Spirit Master's Cultivation often takes decades.
Too many things can happen in these decades, so many Spirit Masters will record their experiences during this process.
Whether it's to guide their descendants with their experience after achieving fame and success.
Or to look back at their past Cultivation process to find problems if their Rank gets stuck and stops improving one day in the future.
All of these are worth noting.
Like Yu Xiaogang, although he was currently only a Spirit Elder, he had already recorded several notebooks of his own Cultivation experiences.
In addition to that, there were occasional flashes of inspiration in his mind.
These were even rarer.
Every time a flash of inspiration appeared in Yu Xiaogang's mind, he would temporarily put down everything he was doing, take out his notebook from the storage soul tool, and record this flash of inspiration.
Although some inspirations seemed abstract, no matter the content, it was always right to write them down!
Taking out the Essay Collection, Yu Xiaogang began to browse. After a moment, he understood why there were so many Spirit Bones in this spirit tool.
The owner of this spirit tool was a Spirit Master from a commoner background, and his Spirit was a Ground Mole.
When he came to the Sunset Forest to add a new spirit ring for himself, he encountered an Earth-attribute Spirit Beast that suited him.
However, that Earth-attribute Spirit Beast had relatively strong combat power.
So, the Mole Spirit Master dug a tunnel to find the Spirit Beast's dwelling, preparing to launch a surprise attack there.
However, after arriving at the Spirit Beast's dwelling, the Mole Spirit Master was stunned.
Spirit Bones, all kinds of Spirit Bones, covered the Spirit Beast's nest.
Through careful observation, the Mole Spirit Master understood that this Spirit Beast was extremely skilled at digging tunnels.
And these Spirit Bones were all spoils of war it had acquired from the earth while digging tunnels.
As is well known, in the Spirit Beast Forest, Spirit Beasts are dying every moment.
With such a large accumulation, the Spirit Bones scattered everywhere were by no means few.
That Spirit Beast, relying on its ability to move through the earth, collected the Spirit Bones scattered everywhere, which led to the current scene.
After learning the specific situation, the Mole Spirit Master stole a few Spirit Bones, found a place to refine them, and then returned to the cave to kill that Spirit Beast.
After completing all of this, the Mole Spirit Master did not immediately leave the Sunset Forest.
Because he planned to imitate that Spirit Beast.
It's just digging tunnels; who wouldn't know how to do that?
So later, the Mole Spirit Master sold a few Millennial Spirit Bones, bought a large amount of supplies, and created a simulated Cultivation environment for himself underground.
He would meditate and Cultivate on weekdays, and when he had free time, he would dig tunnels to various parts of the Sunset Forest to search for Spirit Bones buried in the earth.
And surprisingly, he really did dig up a few Spirit Bones.
These successful examples made the Mole Spirit Master even more greedy; he wanted to obtain more Spirit Bones.
Even the Sunset Forest could no longer satisfy him; he planned to dig tunnels in the Star Dou Great Forest to find Spirit Bones when his strength increased further.
However, there were no records about the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Essay Collection even felt like it ended abruptly.
Regarding this abrupt ending, Yu Xiaogang didn't even need to think to guess that the other party certainly wouldn't have a good ending.
Spirit Beast Forests, especially those with numerous ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, are far more dangerous than ordinary people imagine.
Do you think it's safe underground?
Who knows, one day you might dig a tunnel and stumble upon the nest of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast that also lives underground.
And once such a situation is encountered, it is almost certainly fatal.
After reading through the Essay Collection, although Yu Xiaogang didn't know where that Spirit Master's remains were.
In his heart, he still offered his most sincere thanks to that Spirit Master.
Thanking him for everything he contributed to his Sect.
