Chapter 70 The Ancient Banyan Tree's Desire to Leave
Gu Rong waved his hand and swept all the soul bones into Gu Xuan's arms. Although Gu Xuan wouldn't need that many, he could use them to reward his subordinates in the future.
The soul bone is for showing off to subordinates; only when they see the benefits will they work hard.
Gu Rong's lips curled up, and with another wave of his hand, he flung out another batch of soul bones.
However, the quality of this batch was not that high, and the attributes were also mixed, with all sorts of different types.
He found these in the dragon's lair while hunting dragon-type soul beasts.
Although Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts, don't Soul Beasts also hunt each other?
Especially for soul beasts at the top of the food chain, their daily consumption is also an astonishing figure.
Especially when it's measured in tens of thousands of years, even if the drop rate of soul bones is low, it will accumulate into a considerable number over time.
However, most of the soul bones lost their power and became ordinary bones because they were not nourished by soul power over time; otherwise, he would have had far more to offer.
They killed more than fifty dragon-type soul beasts, but in the end, they only found about twenty pieces in their lairs. The quality of these pieces was not very good. The vast majority of them were thousand years old, and only three were ten thousand years old. Their attributes also happened to be roughly consistent with those of Dugu Bo and his two companions.
Even so, the sheer number of soul bones before them still made Dugu Bo and his group feel an overwhelming sense of suffocation.
That's incredibly extravagant!
They now strongly suspect that Gu Rong went to the Spirit Hall to steal something, otherwise how could he have taken out so many spirit bones all at once?
"Here you go, don't say I didn't take care of you. You can each have one of these three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones."
Gu Rong waved his hand and pushed three pieces of soul bone of ten thousand years quality to Dugu Bo'afu and Ye Xinlan.
Dugu Bo and Afu were rewarded because of their excellent performance these past few days.
Ye Xinlan had promised to give it to him before he came, and he couldn't go back on his word.
"Thank you, Elder Gu."
The three of them were overjoyed and quickly bowed to Gu Rong to express their gratitude.
They absolutely adore bosses who give away soul bones with a wave of their hand.
"As for you."
The ancient banyan tree looked at Dugu Yan and Ye Leng Leng.
"Forget about them, the quality of the thousand-year-old soul bones is too low. We'll find a way to obtain higher-grade soul bones for them later."
Gu Xuan interrupted Gu Rong's attempt to continue dispersing the goods in the market.
If nothing goes wrong, Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng are already bound to him, so the thousand-year-old soul bone is a bit low-level for them.
As long as they are one of our own, they deserve better.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng originally thought that Gu Xuan thought their contributions were not enough to deserve the arrival of the soul bone, but they did not expect that he thought the age limit of the thousand-year soul bone was too low!
Both women looked at Gu Xuan with watery eyes, their eyes filled with emotion.
"Alright, since you've put it that way, let's do it your way."
Gu Rong thought about it and agreed. Soul bones are a soul master's second set of soul rings, so of course, they should be arranged with higher age if possible.
Given the two women's talents, a thousand-year-old soul bone is indeed a bit too low a level.
"Alright, go pack your things and get ready to leave."
Seeing this, Gu Xuan waved his hand and said.
He had said before that he would leave once Gu Rong returned. Now that Gu Rong has returned, although he did not bring back the ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone, he no longer wants to stay.
Besides the dangers encountered during the absorption process, Soul Masters cannot be said to be absolutely safe after absorbing a Soul Ring.
After all, a Soul Master's physique has a limit. If the Soul Ring's age is too high, exceeding the Soul Master's limit, then the Soul Master will explode and die.
Here, we refer to the first owner of twin martial souls. All the soul rings he absorbed were within the absorption range, but in the end, he still died because his body could not withstand it.
Ordinary Soul Masters do not face this danger, since they cannot even pass the first stage of absorption.
But Gu Xuan can smoothly pass through the absorption stage whenever he wants, as long as he is willing.
Although Gu Xuan could forcibly absorb the soul ring using the Dog and Horse Talisman, he would need to constantly activate these two talismans to help resist the pressure of the soul ring.
Now, that's no longer necessary. With these three soul bones, his physique will definitely improve significantly. In that case, even if he forcibly absorbs a ten-thousand-year soul ring using the Dog and Horse Talisman, he won't have to worry about his body being unable to withstand the pressure of the soul ring after successful absorption.
"This is!"
They glanced at Gu Xuan with some hesitation, but seeing that his expression was serious and not feigned, the five of them looked at Gu Rong again. Seeing that although there was sadness in Gu Rong's eyes, he did not say anything to stop them, they quickly nodded and turned to pack their things.
"Oh, right!"
Gu Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and with a wave of his hand, a beam of white light entered Ye Xinlan's body.
He still remembers it; Gu Rong said he'd let him prove it.
Enveloped in white light, Ye Xinlan felt a warm current surge through her body, and then she realized that her energy and spirit seemed to have been restored.
She had actually expended a lot of energy to treat Ning Rongrong, but she recovered in an instant?
Even the slight fatigue from taking care of Gu Xuan's cultivation and training disappeared completely.
How is this possible?
What kind of recovery speed is this?
Ye Xinlan stared at Gu Xuan, wondering if he needed her help to recover his health.
Then, glancing at Gu Rong, she finally understood why they were asking her to repay a favor.
Gu Xuan has such methods that he doesn't need her help to train at all, and the results are even better. Her joining now is like adding icing on the cake, or even less.
Moreover, they were specially invited by Gu Rong to enter.
Without Gu Rong, she wouldn't even have had the chance to join.
"Hmph, now you understand my good intentions, don't you? I told you I wouldn't stoop to tricking a junior like you."
Gu Rong's previously somewhat sad expression vanished instantly, and he raised his head slightly, speaking with great enthusiasm.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Gu."
Ye Xinlan was completely fooled and never considered that Gu Xuan's talisman wasn't on her during those days.
"Okay, go ahead."
Gu Rong nodded in deep agreement and waved for him to leave with satisfaction.
Gu Xuan glanced at Gu Rong sideways. This was also a ruthless person; he could even make black seem white.
Meanwhile, after putting Ning Rongrong back in her room, Chen Xin went straight to Ning Fengzhi's side.
He had examined Ning Rongrong and found that she was fine now, just frightened. At most, her foundation was slightly damaged, which she could recover later. He did not intend to tell Ning Fengzhi about Ning Rongrong's condition.
He knew Ning Fengzhi's personality all too well. If Ning Fengzhi knew that Gu Xuan had also beaten Ning Rongrong half to death, he would very likely use that as an excuse to prevent Gu Xuan from leaving.
But in Chen Xin's view, Gu Xuan's departure was already a foregone conclusion, and the seeds of this had actually been sown when they failed to deal with Ning Rongrong from the beginning.
It's just that it's grown up and borne fruit now.
"Uncle Jian, what exactly is going on?"
Upon seeing Chen Xin return, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly went to greet him.
"It's nothing. It's just that Rongrong suddenly went to Bone Peak to provoke Xiaoxuan for some reason. Xiaoxuan couldn't help but teach Rongrong a lesson, which triggered the alert system I set up on Rongrong."
Chen Xin said calmly.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes also glazed over for a moment.
He repeatedly told Ning Rongrong not to go to Bone Peak, but she didn't listen to a word he said!
"Damn it, where is she? Looks like I've spoiled her too much. Uncle Jian, this time even you can't stop me from teaching her a lesson."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes were bloodshot with anger. Although the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was important, wasn't Gu Rong important too? Ning Rongrong was always courting death and wouldn't be happy until she forced Gu Rong to abandon the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
"Feng Zhi, none of that matters. What's important now is Old Bones' side. Before, Old Bones could stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because of our years of friendship, but this time—"
Chen Xin sighed and lowered his head. He saw the intention to leave in Gu Rong's eyes.
Even after Gu Rong left, he found a temporary worker for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School (Dugu Bo), yet they couldn't even control Ning Rongrong.
What!
"Uncle Jian, hurry! We absolutely cannot let Uncle Gu leave!"
Ning Fengzhi immediately became anxious.
