Chapter 64: Soul Bone Distribution, Complete Return to the Heart
"Perhaps there's something even more gratifying for you, senior. Haven't you noticed that the backlash from the toxins in your body has lessened considerably?"
Su Lin didn't speak again until Dugu Bo had finished laughing.
For Dugu Bo, although he had a brush with death this time, he also gained a lot.
"Um?"
Upon hearing the reminder, Dugu Bo carefully considered his surroundings and immediately widened his eyes.
"What's going on? Some of the toxins in my body have transferred to the soul bone!"
Over the years, he has tried countless methods to improve his health, but each attempt only caused him more pain. Only by using this precious place to forcefully suppress the pain has he been able to persevere.
This time, the long-suppressed toxins from his injury erupted, and he thought he would surely lose his life. But not only was he unharmed, the backlash from the toxins in his body was even reduced.
Su Lin chuckled softly, "This is all thanks to the generous gift of this medicinal garden from the senior and Senior Blue Silver King. Of course, it also owes much to Yan Yan's hard work..."
After much persuasion, Su Lin finally managed to explain the situation clearly.
Dugu Bo glanced thoughtfully at the dozen or so unusually large Blue Silver Grass plants around him, but ultimately didn't ask any more questions.
While taking down that old dragon was certainly glorious, it also brought a lot of trouble. Now he was practically in Su Lin's shoes, and the more secrets he had, the better!
Looking at the medicinal garden he had guarded for decades, a pang of heartache still flashed in Dugu Bo's emerald-like eyes.
It's incredibly frustrating to be surrounded by a treasure trove of riches without realizing it, only to have all the benefits snatched up by others!
"Fortunately, Yan Yan will no longer have to suffer from this toxin..."
While he wouldn't call himself magnanimous, Dugu Bo certainly didn't dwell too much on the matter of the herb garden.
He knew very well that if it weren't for Su Lin, he would still be guarding this precious land in vain.
At least my granddaughter benefited from it, so it wasn't a complete waste.
"Grandpa, that's not all! Now even my spirit attribute has become ice and fire, completely losing its poison attribute!"
As Dugu Yan spoke, she gave a soft shout, and a phantom image of a two-headed snake with red and blue colors appeared behind her, with a small fleshy crown on each of the snake's heads.
"This is..."
Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed: "Spirit Evolution!"
His original spirit was just an ordinary Jade Phosphor Serpent, but it later evolved into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, and the fleshy crest on his head is the most obvious sign of this.
"I feel like it's just a mutation..."
Dugu Yan shook her head and then softly shouted, "Spirit Possession!"
Instantly, a blue and a red halo rose from beneath her feet, and soon her two long, beautiful legs transformed into a thick snake tail. The red and blue scales were exquisite, exuding an exceptionally alluring charm.
Compared to the previous Jade Phosphor Serpent, she is now far more powerful in terms of aura alone.
A hint of joy appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes: "I was worried that this would worsen the toxins in your body, so I chose a non-venomous snake as your first spirit ring, one that also contained some dragon blood. That was the right choice!"
After this change in her spirit, Dugu Yan is clearly no longer suited to the poison attribute.
"I can feel that my current spirit is much stronger than the Jade Phosphor Serpent's, and my cultivation speed has also increased significantly. I should be able to reach level 20 soon!"
"Perhaps I can now call it the Ice and Fire Serpent King Spirit!"
Dugu Yan looked at Su Lin with joy and eagerness. Her spirit possession was released, and she squeezed into his arms again, hugging his waist tightly.
It's all because of her master... that she was able to receive such great benefits!
Moreover, this change in her spirit has made her stronger, allowing her to better assist her master in the future.
"The medicinal effects in Yan Yan's body are still present. Senior, you only need to use some medicine and Yan Yan's blood to force the toxins into your soul bone every now and then, and your problem can be solved."
Dugu Yan would do this every now and then, and Su Lin gradually got used to it. He didn't push her away, but instead looked at Yu Yuanzhen's corpse while speaking.
"A ten-thousand-year-old head bone may not be able to withstand the toxins that have accumulated in your body for decades, but with Yu Yuanzhen's gift, it should be enough."
As the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, Yu Yuanzhen's soul bone was naturally no ordinary item!
Of the three soul bones he left behind, one head soul bone was over 80,000 years old, while the other two were a 50,000-year-old left arm bone and a 60,000-year-old left leg bone.
"What's the meaning?"
Dugu Bo wanted to say something when he saw Dugu Yan's actions, but after hearing Su Lin's next words, he lost interest in arguing about it.
His voice deepened slightly: "You probably don't even have a single soul bone left, right? Don't you want to give it to me?"
Su Lin's gaze fell on the Blue Silver King, his eyes somewhat unfocused: "I don't even want these soul bones."
At his current level, he's already pursuing 100,000-year soul rings; he wouldn't even consider soul bones that are less than 100,000 years old.
Su Lin missed the old aunt a little. She absorbed three immortal herbs with him. Even though most of the medicinal power was absorbed by Su Lin, Ah Yin should have received considerable benefits as well.
Perhaps it has fully recovered to the state it was 100,000 years ago.
Even the Blue Silver King before us, if it weren't for some kind of restriction in the dark, would have already exceeded 100,000 years of age by now.
"These are all soul bones over 50,000 years old, and you don't want them?"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but glare and puff out his beard. Even as a titled Douluo, he only possessed a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
Even his old nemesis, Yue Guan, doesn't have a single soul bone!
"Yu Yuanzhen is dead, and the situation outside is still unclear. If you don't have enough strength, senior, you won't be able to control the situation. We can't just keep hiding in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, can we?"
Su Lin said calmly, "I'll keep this head bone for now and give it to Yan Yan when she needs it. As for the left arm bone and left leg bone, you can absorb them, senior."
Dugu Bo's expression shifted, and after staring at Su Lin for a long while, he finally spoke in a deep voice: "You don't even want the head soul bone? Are you serious?"
"Don't worry about me. I, Dugu Bo, am clear about my debts and always keep my promises."
"I have already made a promise, and you have done me and Yanyan such a great favor. Even if there were a huge benefit, I would never be greedy, let alone just a few soul bones."
Dugu Bo has a bad reputation, but he is indeed trustworthy when it comes to repaying kindness and making promises.
Su Lin smiled gently. The Blue Silver King stretched out its thick vines, and a grass seed hidden in Medusa's soul bone slowly dispersed.
"Your word is your bond, so how could I possibly go back on my word?"
