Han Li, who hadn't been paying attention to or simply didn't care about those things, had already returned to the hotel.
"You're back so soon? Judging by your expression, you obtained something good?"
Dugu Bo looked at him with a surprised expression. It had only been a little over an hour since Han Li had left.
"Since it's said to be a gift from nature, of course it wouldn't take too long."
Han Li replied with a smile, then looked at the solitary Dugu Bo, "Where are Sister Yan and the others?"
"They're all cultivating in their rooms. No one even offered to keep this old man company."
Although Dugu Bo's words sounded like a complaint, his tone and expression were quite satisfied.
He had naturally seen the changes in his Granddaughter over the past few years, as well as Xiu'er and Shui Bing'er. Perhaps influenced by Han Li, they were all extremely attentive to cultivation.
"Sometimes, I feel like there's something chasing you from behind, making you eager to become stronger, and it's affecting them as well."
"If I had your strength at your age, I would definitely show off all over the continent."
Dugu Bo said half-jokingly.
"Perhaps there really is."
Han Li also replied with a smile, speaking the truth.
Dugu Bo smiled when he heard his words, not taking it seriously, assuming he was just responding to his joke.
"By the way, about this gift from nature, let me guess. You didn't happen to find another place like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, did you?"
Dugu Bo looked at Han Li with some suspicion. Based on his understanding of Han Li, it didn't seem impossible.
"Not this time. There must be other places like that on the continent, but I don't dare to go there for now," Han Li answered honestly.
"There really is such a place?"
Dugu Bo was directly shocked by his words, feeling like he knew nothing about the continent.
"Of course, but don't even mention you, I estimate even the Grand Elder wouldn't be able to return if they went. Do you still want to know?"
Han Li raised his eyebrows at Dugu Bo.
"No, I haven't lived enough yet."
Dugu Bo shook his head decisively. Living for a few hundred years wasn't a problem for him, and he had no intention of seeking death.
"You're quite perceptive, old man. I thought you would eagerly ask for more details."
Han Li said with a smile. If it were Master, he would have already asked with great interest.
"I'm not your Master, I'm not that curious. I'm still waiting to hold my grandson. You can't go back on our previous agreement. You and Yan Yan must have a child with the Du Gu surname, the Martial Soul doesn't matter."
Dugu Bo winked at Han Li. Even though he was now a handsome middle-aged man, his expression made him look somewhat lecherous.
"You're a bit too anxious."
Han Li looked at him unhappily, feeling quite helpless in his heart.
"No rush, no rush, I'm just saying. It's good that you don't have any intention of changing your mind."
This wasn't the first time Dugu Bo had brought up this matter. Now that he didn't have to worry about the poison, he was quite bored, so he came up with this idea.
"What exactly did you find?"
Dugu Bo finally noticed that the topic had strayed, and looked at Han Li again, too lazy to guess.
"Let's go to their room, so I don't have to say it a second time."
Han Li walked towards the three women's room. The three of them were staying in a suite, which saved him the time of calling them one by one.
"That's true."
Dugu Bo followed behind him and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while, the door was opened.
Han Li and Dugu Bo walked straight in, and then used Soul Power to seal off the entire room.
"So mysterious?"
The others curiously gathered around him, wanting to see what he had obtained.
Under their gazes, Han Li flipped his left hand, and a Soul Bone instantly appeared in his palm.
The moment the Soul Bone appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to it. The entire Soul Bone was crystal clear blue-gold, with what seemed like starlight twinkling inside.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen Soul Bones before; in fact, everyone had one. But this one was different. Not only was it extremely complete, but most importantly, they felt as if this right leg bone possessed life.
"What kind of Soul Beast produced this Soul Bone? It's so powerful and unique? An ordinary Soul Bone wouldn't warrant such attention from you, kid."
Dugu Bo peered at it for a long time before looking up to ask.
"Blue Silver Grass."
Han Li casually tossed the Soul Bone to the three women, letting them look at it. They always liked shiny things.
"Blue Silver Grass? Can Blue Silver Grass grow to this extent? And the life aura is so pure."
Dugu Bo said in surprise. He had seen Blue Silver Grass of the thousand-year level, but he hadn't paid attention to those with higher cultivation.
"Of course, after all, Blue Silver Grass is the most abundant plant on the continent. With such a large base, some will always stand out."
Han Li explained with a smile.
"What you said makes sense. Even a chicken coop can produce a phoenix. It's not impossible for Blue Silver Grass to become a high-level Soul Beast."
Dugu Bo habitually stroked his chin, only to realize that his beard had long been shaved clean.
He regretfully lowered his hand and turned to look at Han Li, "However, you wouldn't have made a special trip just because it's rare, right? I can feel the strong energy contained within it."
"Of course not."
Han Li glanced at the Soul Bone being played with by the three women, a smile appearing on his face, "After all, this is a 100,000 Year Soul Bone."
"100,000 years?"
Dugu Bo's voice involuntarily rose a lot. The three women naturally heard it, and their movements with the Soul Bone became gentler.
"You're too reckless. Why didn't you ask me to go with you? Do you know how dangerous it is? Even if it's Blue Silver Grass, it's no ordinary thing to cultivate to 100,000 years. If something happened to you, how would I explain it to Yan Yan and your Master?"
After the surprise, Dugu Bo's face quickly darkened, and he looked at Han Li seriously.
Han Li didn't expect him to react this way. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Grandfather, you misunderstood. I didn't fight it. Have you forgotten? I said this was a gift from nature."
"Don't tell me you picked up this Soul Bone?"
Dugu Bo looked at him with an expression that said, Are you trying to fool me?
"Believe it or not, I really picked it up. I just flew randomly into the mountains following my intuition. When I got tired, I landed to rest, and I found it in a cave."
Han Li made an expression that said, That's exactly what happened, leaving the others speechless.
"But, I did learn about its origin in the cave."
Han Li took the Soul Bone and shook it in his hand.
"Do you remember the Spirit Hall's previous Pope chasing Tang Hao more than a decade ago? Do you remember the statement issued by the Spirit Hall at the time?"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Colluding with Soul Beasts? If I remember correctly, that seemed to be the initial reason. Wasn't that just an excuse Qian Xunji made up?"
"No, Qian Xunji, uh, the previous Pope was telling the truth."
Han Li weighed the Soul Bone in his hand.
"Soul Beast? Soul Bone? Could it be what I think it is? I thought that was just a legend."
Dugu Bo revealed an incredulous look. The three women also opened their mouths slightly.
"Congratulations, you've confirmed another rumor to be true. This Soul Bone is what Tang Hao's wife, that Soul Beast who transformed into a human, left behind after her death."
Han Li smiled at the others, confirming their guesses.
"It's actually true. Xiao Li, do you think there might be many 100,000 Year Soul Beasts hidden in human society? Should I go look for them?"
Dugu Bo said excitedly. His first reaction left Han Li dumbfounded.
He looked at Dugu Bo with a wry smile, "Grandfather, there aren't that many 100,000 Year Soul Beasts for you to find."
Hearing his words, Dugu Bo chuckled awkwardly, only then realizing that his thoughts had been a bit too optimistic.
"So, what do you mean? Tang Hao is here too? No wonder you told me to restrain my aura. If we ran into each other, we'd inevitably have to fight."
After his excitement, Dugu Bo noticed the information in Han Li's words, his expression shifting uncertainly.
After all, Tang Hao's rumored battle record was truly impressive. He had only recently reached level 94, and if they encountered each other, he wasn't entirely confident he could fully protect these little ones.
"Yes, I only noticed it later, but he's disappeared again, so we don't have to worry about him for now."
Han Li didn't explain in detail, and his words relieved Dugu Bo.
"Then hurry up and absorb the Soul Bone, lest something unexpected happen. I'll protect you."
Dugu Bo looked at Han Li seriously, urging him.
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking too."
Han Li nodded. He really needed the Soul Bone now to support the rapid improvement of his physique. His subsequent series of plans couldn't be carried out without the support of the Soul Bone.
"Alright, you guys go cultivate too. I'll watch over things."
Dugu Bo also looked at the three girls beside him.
"Okay."
They glanced at Han Li and went to the side to start cultivating. Han Li was about to advance again, and they had to work hard to catch up.
Here, Han Li didn't hesitate. He randomly chose a place to sit down and placed the Soul Bone close to his right leg, mobilizing his Soul Power to make contact with it.
Buzz
In a slight buzzing sound, Han Li felt his right leg tremble slightly.
Immediately afterward, a cool aura quietly seeped into his leg from all directions. The crystal-clear blue Soul Bone quietly disappeared, turning into countless strands of blue-golden energy that permeated around his right leg.
Cool, comfortable, unlike the domineering nature of Han Li's own Soul Power, the energy released by the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone was the kind that moisturized things silently, and it was full of toughness.
Under Han Li's control, the blue-golden energy quickly spread throughout his body, nourishing his meridians and body, and even his bones were immersed in it.
He didn't feel any resistance. Not to mention that this was originally a collection of vitality, and it was originally left by A Yin for her husband and son, so how could there be any intention to harm?
Feeling that his body and Soul Power were rapidly improving under the effect of the Soul Bone, Han Li sighed softly in his heart and took the initiative to speed up the process of fusion.
