Chapter 80: Left Arm Bone
After a long while, the lengthy sacrificial ceremony finally came to an end.
With the addition of the soul bone, Ning Bei's soul power reached level 86, and he was not far from level 87.
He checked the condition of Heavenly Dream in his consciousness sea and found that it had fallen into sleep. The sacrificial process had likely exhausted its soul considerably, so Ning Bei didn't disturb it and slowly opened his eyes.
As expected, Di Tian's figure appeared in front of him.
However, the authoritative vertical pupils that looked at Ning Bei were filled with complexity.
Ning Bei knew that this was because he had cut in line and taken Heavenly Dream's place. After all, the silkworm was still a source of food for the fierce beasts.
After a long while, Di Tian finally composed himself. Compared to the injury of the Silver Dragon King, this bit of cultivation was nothing.
"Not bad, kid. How did the medicine work?"
Seeing that Di Tian was no longer pursuing the issue of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Ning Bei secretly let out a sigh of relief. Though he didn't think the other would make trouble for him.
"Senior, I was just lucky. One of the pills, the Bone-Integrating Blood-Melting Pill, worked much better for healing the wounds than the previous ones."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian became excited. This was great news, considering that the Resurrection Pill had already shown significant healing effects on the Lord.
This pill's effect would likely be even better.
"Good, come with me."
Ning Bei nodded, recalling all the beasts back into the Dan Tower, and followed Di Tian as they once again entered a spatial rift.
Arriving at the cave at the bottom of the lake, the Silver Dragon King had long been waiting. She had woken up three days ago when Ning Bei began the sacrificial process, and now she was eager to begin.
"Child, you've finally arrived. I have a feeling that this time the medicine will have a significant effect."
Ning Bei nodded, not wasting time with more words. He summoned the Dan Tower, and the red soul ring with four golden lines swirled. A dark red Bone-Integrating Blood-Melting Pill appeared in his hand.
At the same time, thunderclouds began to form above the Star Dou Great Forest, containing terrifying energy fluctuations.
Di Tian frowned slightly. This was far more intense than last time.
A few seconds later, after the clouds had gathered, a multicolored lightning bolt descended from the clouds, striking directly towards the Lake of Life.
Di Tian transformed into his true form and rushed to intercept the lightning. He couldn't let the Silver Dragon King be disturbed.
The lightning struck his dragon body, followed by a loud explosion.
"Ugh!"
A muffled groan came from Di Tian's mouth as he continued to resist the lightning.
After a while, the thunderclouds finally dissipated, and Di Tian reappeared in the lake bottom cave. His vertical pupils were filled with astonishment as he looked at Ning Bei.
"Kid, this lightning now has the full power of a Title Douluo's attack. Truly terrifying. This was only caused by your eighth soul skill's pill. When you reach Title Douluo, I suspect you might be able to destroy the Star Dou Great Forest."
The Silver Dragon King's vertical pupils showed a smile as she looked at Di Tian.
"Di Tian, don't panic. If such a powerful tribulation really happens, it means the medicine's effect will be truly extraordinary. Perhaps I'll fully recover from my injuries."
Di Tian nodded after hearing the Silver Dragon King's words. It made sense. No matter how strong the lightning was, he would have to block it, even at the risk of injury.
Once Di Tian calmed down, the Silver Dragon King turned her attention to the dark red pill in Ning Bei's hand, swallowing it whole.
After a few dozen seconds, a powerful dragon roar erupted from the bottom of the lake, startling the fierce beasts on the surface.
"It's the Lord. Has she fully recovered?"
"Not sure, but at least the injuries have greatly improved, otherwise, the roar wouldn't be so strong."
Di Tian was very happy to see the Silver Dragon King's action.
"Lord, have you fully recovered?"
The Silver Dragon King's eyes were filled with joy, but after hearing Di Tian's words, she shook her head.
"Not fully, but it's almost there. With about ten more of these pills, I should be fully healed."
Ning Bei felt a bit reluctant to dampen the spirits of these master and servant, but the Bone-Integrating Blood-Melting Pill wasn't a medicine that could be used infinitely. The maximum effect was with two pills, and the third would have no effect.
But looking at the intense gaze of Di Tian, Ning Bei felt it necessary to speak up.
He informed them of the limitation, which left Di Tian a bit disappointed. He had thought that the Silver Dragon King would recover to her peak in just a few days.
"Don't be disappointed, Di Tian. As I said, this child is only at the level of a Soul Douluo."
Di Tian listened to the Silver Dragon King's words and quickly composed himself, nodding to her.
"I understand, Lord. It won't be much longer."
"Good! I'm glad you understand. Child, I must thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how long it would take to recover."
Ning Bei waved his hand, thinking of the left arm soul bone belonging to Bibi Dong, which belonged to Xiao Wu's mother, and he began to consider something.
"Silver Dragon King, no need for thanks. I actually have a request."
Before the Silver Dragon King could respond, Di Tian immediately took over.
"You say it. As long as we can do it, we won't hesitate. Even if it's not possible right now, we will find a way."
Ning Bei nodded and began to explain Xiao Wu's situation.
"I have a companion, a ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. Her mother was killed and turned into a soul ring and soul bone. I plan to ask you for a left arm bone from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with poison or insect attributes to trade for that and then try to revive her mother."
The Silver Dragon King, upon hearing Ning Bei's reason, was greatly astonished.
"Child, why would you go to such lengths for a soul beast? You could ask us for a soul bone that suits you instead."
Di Tian was also curious and looked at Ning Bei, wanting to know why.
"I promised that little rabbit I would revive her mother, and she is my sister's best friend. They're very close, and her two brothers are also my companions."
"You're talking about the Sky Blue Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Soft Bone Rabbit from within the Star Dou Great Forest, right?"
Upon hearing Di Tian point out Xiao Wu's identity, Ning Bei nodded. There was no need to hide it.
"Yes, it is her."
Di Tian nodded and then turned to the Silver Dragon King.
"Lord, I'll take him up first."
"Alright, go ahead."
Di Tian took Ning Bei out of the Lake of Life and brought him before the fierce beasts.
"Does anyone have a left arm bone from a poison-type soul beast? This kid needs it."
"From a hundred-thousand-year beast?"
Di Tian rolled his eyes at the Red King's question.
"Of course! If it wasn't from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, would I need to ask you guys? Go kill some poisonous ten-thousand-year bugs if you want!"
While the fierce beasts were thinking about whether they had the corresponding soul bone in their collections, the King of All Monsters disappeared for a moment and reappeared in front of them.
He threw a soul bone towards Ning Bei.
"This is the left arm bone of a Black Pear Bullhead Ant. This soul beast feeds on plant-type soul beasts, and it contains deadly poison. When I first became a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it targeted me. I had to put in quite a bit of effort to take it down. This soul bone became part of my collection. Since you need it, I'll give it to you."
