Chapter 36: Soul Bones Distribution
"There's a Silver Dragon King in the core area of the Star Dou Forest. It's the common ruler of all the soul beasts on the continent. It seems that, for some reason, it's severely injured. After sensing the aura of my Dan Tower, it sent the Black Dragon King, Di Tian, to bring me there."
Ning Bei briefly explained the situation, causing the others to shudder. They had truly entered the soul beasts' lair.
Ning Fengzhi, feeling uneasy, asked Ning Bei, "Did the Dan medicine have any effect on the Silver Dragon King?"
Ning Bei nodded.
"There is some effect, but it's very weak. To fully heal its wounds, with my current cultivation and the Dan medicine, it might take millions of years."
"???"
"Millions of years? We'd all be a pile of bones by then."
Even Di Tian, who found the years quite absurd, could only make the family even more shocked.
Chen Xin, however, looked at Ning Bei with unease.
"Since your Dan medicine works on it, how could those soul beasts let you go so easily?"
Everyone looked at Ning Bei with confusion.
"I've made an agreement with the Silver Dragon King. Once my strength improves and I have access to higher-level Dan medicines, I'll go back to the Star Dou Forest and see if there are better healing effects."
"What? You still plan to go back?"
"Bei'er, don't be reckless."
"What's the difference between this and courting death?"
"You mustn't take risks, remember the saying, a wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall."
The reactions were exactly what Ning Bei had expected, and with a rebellious grin, he shrugged.
"Anyway, I've already received the benefits. Whether to go or not is up to you. My rough estimate is that there are about ten soul beasts with over 100,000 years of cultivation in the core area."
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, who had just been protesting, stiffened immediately.
After all, a 100,000-year soul beast's strength was equivalent to a Title Douluo's, and those with strong bloodlines would be even more terrifying. They would be comparable to dozens of Super Douluos.
Dealing with such beings, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't handle the consequences.
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi recalled the first half of Ning Bei's sentence, his eyes lighting up. He knew his son wasn't someone who would suffer losses.
"Bei'er, what benefits are you talking about?"
Seeing that he could finally show off, Ning Bei smugly took out the bracelet given by the Silver Dragon King and tossed it to Ning Fengzhi.
"It's nothing special, just a few dozen soul bones."
"???"
"What?"
"Bei'er, you're being mischievous again."
After hearing Ning Bei's words, Ning Fengzhi quickly used his spiritual sense to scan the storage bracelet. The four dazzling 100,000-year soul bones made his eyes go wide in surprise.
"Good! With these soul bones, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will rise to new heights!"
"Ahem, well, Bei'er, it looks like you'll have to make a few more trips to the Star Dou Forest in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ning Bei rolled his eyes. "You really are a loving father."
Chen Xin, Gu Yong, and Ning's mother looked at Ning Fengzhi with strange expressions. Was he really selling his son?
They quickly became curious about the soul bones that had excited Ning Fengzhi so much.
"Fengzhi, let me take a look!"
"Me too."
"Same here."
One by one, they took turns scanning the bracelet, their faces displaying the same stunned expression as Ning Fengzhi.
Gu Rong directly turned to Ning Bei and asked, "So, Bei'er, is the Silver Dragon King female?"
Wow, really? He couldn't believe the way his thoughts were flying so freely. While everyone else was considering how to distribute and use the 100,000-year soul bones, Gu Rong was already thinking about the Silver Dragon King's dowry?
Ning Bei almost spat blood on the spot.
"From the sound of it, the Silver Dragon King is indeed a female dragon, but if you don't want me as your grandson, just say so."
Upon hearing Ning Bei's sarcasm, Gu Rong awkwardly smiled and said nothing further.
Chen Xin didn't have time to deal with Gu Yong's nonsense. His eyes were glued to the four soul bones.
"This is the left leg bone of the 100,000-year Silverwing Falcon."
"This one is the torso bone of the 100,000-year Fire Dragon."
"Here's the left arm bone of the 100,000-year Holy Light Xuan Turtle."
"And lastly, this is the left arm bone of the Sacred Unicorn."
Among the four 100,000-year soul bones, two were left arm bones, one was a torso bone, and one was a left leg bone.
It must be said that Title Douluos' experience was impressive. Ning Bei couldn't identify all of these soul bones.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Bei.
"Bei'er, these soul bones were brought back by you, so you should decide how to distribute them."
Ning Bei nodded upon hearing this and thought about everyone's martial souls.
"The Silverwing Falcon has a particularly strong attack, and Grandpa Sword is missing a left leg bone, so I'll give this one to Grandpa Sword."
Chen Xin was touched by Ning Bei's consideration. These 100,000-year soul bones were things that anyone would drool over.
"The torso bone comes from the Fire Dragon. Although the attributes don't match Grandpa Bone's, since it's also a dragon-type soul beast, it should be suitable for Grandpa Bone's Bone Dragon martial soul. I'll give this one to Grandpa Bone."
Gu Yong, who had been eagerly watching Ning Bei, nodded with satisfaction after hearing Ning Bei's words, smiling at him as though saying that all these years of spoiling him were worth it.
Ning Bei then continued distributing the remaining soul bones.
"I have soul beast battle pets helping me in combat, so I don't lack attack power. But as a support-type soul master, my defense is a bit lacking. The left arm bone of the Holy Light Xuan Turtle should give me a very strong defensive soul skill, so I'll use this one. Is that okay?"
Seeing everyone nodding without objection, Ning Bei smiled.
"The last one, I'll leave it to Father. You can either absorb it yourself or keep it in the sect to cultivate other powers. It's up to you."
After hearing Ning Bei's distribution plan, Ning Fengzhi found it very reasonable and nodded with a smile.
"Alright, this works. As sect master, I don't often get into battles, so I'll keep this soul bone for now, in case it's useful later."
"Bei'er, are you sure those soul beasts won't do anything to you? It's still a bit too dangerous."
Though they had joked about selling Ning Bei earlier, now that they thought about their precious son going to the soul beasts' lair, they couldn't help but feel concerned.
Ning Bei smiled and waved his hand, then summoned the Dan Tower and called out Yao Yao and Chang´e.
"Emerald Swan?"
"And the Demon Eye Magic Tree."
"Bei'er, where did these powerful soul beasts come from?"
Seeing their surprised expressions, Ning Bei introduced the two beasts.
"The Emerald Swan and the Demon Eye Magic Tree are both from the two beast kings in the Star Dou Forest, and these two little beasts are their kin. After learning about the miraculous uses of the Dan Tower, they asked me to help raise these two young beasts."
After hearing Ning Bei's explanation, Gu Rong couldn't help but smile broadly.
"Oh! Is that so?"
Ning Fengzhi, after hearing the explanation, clearly relaxed.
"If that's the case, it seems the beast kings won't harm Bei'er. So, Bei'er going to the core area of the Star Dou Forest will only bring benefits. But don't let your guard down; if you anger those kings, it won't be good for you."
"Understood, Father. I'll be careful."
