Chapter 149: A Plethora of Spirit Bones

Chapter 149: A Plethora of Spirit Bones

"The dragon soul is not completely depleted, it just needs some time to recover and it will be back to normal."

Returning the two spirit bones to Wang Si, the Silver Dragon King said nonchalantly.

She wouldn't want to exploit these two unlucky fellows who hadn't ventured into the Dragon God's Tomb.

Wang Si put away the two spirit bones and then looked at the Silver Dragon King, awaiting her next words.

"Do you have any other questions? If not, Di Tian will escort you out." The Silver Dragon King said casually. With the help of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, she had eliminated some of the Asura Sword Qi.

It would probably only take a few hundred years to fully recover from the remaining damage.

Of course, if someone were willing to hand over their spirit bones again after the dragon soul recovered, her healing process would be faster.

"I have a rather bold question," Wang Si said, "In your eyes, what is my current state?"

He wanted to confirm if others could tell that he was an "outsider," and he was also curious about how the beings in the Divine Realm viewed him.

Facing Wang Si's doubt, the Silver Dragon's purple vertical pupils held a hint of playfulness.

"What's wrong? Are you questioning your identity? Surely you know your current state?" The Silver Dragon King replied in a mocking tone.

Wang Si felt helpless in the face of the Silver Dragon King's ambiguous attitude. He realized he probably wouldn't get any useful information from her.

However, he still asked a question that had been on his mind.

"I'm not an enemy of the Spirit Beast clan, am I?"

The Silver Dragon King didn't feign profundity. She simply nodded slightly, giving an affirmative answer.

"Based on your situation, you are not an enemy of the Spirit Beasts. But to be considered an ally, you lack the strength and thus, the qualifications."

Hearing this, Wang Si looked deeply into the Silver Dragon King's eyes and then spoke tentatively.

"Since we can be allies, can you invest a little in this ally who hasn't fully developed yet...?"

Wang Si didn't finish his sentence. Asking for spirit bones directly from the Spirit Beast clan might be as impolite as asking for the "ashes" of one of their ancestors.

But Wang Si had already explained that he could control humans through spirit bones, so the Silver Dragon King should understand what he wanted.

"You want spirit bones? Your request is very rude, but it's not impossible.

We have also gathered quite a few spirit bones, and we can give them to you. But what can you offer in return for the Spirit Beast clan?" The Silver Dragon King asked, her tone full of implied meanings.

This was indeed a difficult question to answer, but...

…………

"So many spirit bones?" Wang Si exclaimed, looking at the pile of spirit bones the black-robed middle-aged man had given him.

Di Tian said nothing and left after placing the spirit bones down.

Wang Si collected the numerous spirit bones and made his way to the lakeside.

This was the true core area of the Starry Sky Great Forest, a place akin to a secret realm.

As for the areas where the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python resided, they were merely entrances to this true secret realm.

A Lan and the others were currently sitting by the lake, eagerly absorbing the life force from the water.

The most excited among them was A Lan, who was originally a plant-type spirit beast. Now that she had come into contact with the Lake of Life, it was a heaven-sent opportunity for her.

As for Zhu Ming and A Rou, the life energy also benefited them, and they were absorbing it with all their might.

When Zhu Ming saw Wang Si approaching, she was the first to open her eyes. She glanced at Wang Si, confirming that the negotiation had gone smoothly, and then closed her eyes again.

Next was A Lan. When she saw Wang Si, she was the most excited. She stood up and took small steps towards him, apologizing with a smile.

"Immortality" was the ultimate technique of the Blue Silver Emperor, and Wang Si had a suspicion: Ah Yin might not have intended for him to retain his memories of the events after her sacrifice.

That would explain why A Lan had no recollection of that period, and Ah Yin, not expecting her to reincarnate, would naturally treat the reincarnated A Lan, who possessed those memories, a little differently.

Two Blue Silver Emperors, one retaining her feelings for Tang Hao and the other obsessed with "taking form."

That explanation made sense!

"How long will we stay here? And what about those guys...?" A Lan asked, bringing up an important matter.

She wanted to absorb the life force from this place to achieve a breakthrough, equivalent to advancing from a hundred thousand years to two hundred thousand years.

However, she was unsure if it was appropriate to do so freely. After all, those were infamous fierce beasts, each with cultivation spanning hundreds of thousands of years. A Lan felt uneasy in their presence.

"We can stay here for quite a while, even for the next two or three years if we want." The Silver Dragon King indicated that their "allies" were too weak, so Wang Si didn't bother with formalities. Since she suggested they enhance their strength, Wang Si intended to take full advantage of the opportunity!

Hearing that they would be staying for two or three years, A Rou immediately opened her eyes. But before she could say anything, Wang Si cut her off.

"Don't even think about bringing your true body here. It's enough that you're allowed to cultivate here. If you dare to make any unreasonable demands, I might not be able to protect you." Wang Si said coldly.

In response, A Rou merely huffed and closed her eyes again, choosing to continue her cultivation without another word.

To be honest, she didn't really feel the need to cultivate here, but if her true body could join them...

Forget it, A Rou decided not to dwell on it anymore.

As for the situation here and the deal Wang Si had made with the Silver Dragon King, A Rou didn't bother herself with the details.

Wang Si was an odd one, and A Rou had gotten used to his quirks!

Holding the spirit bones, Wang Si retreated to a secluded corner to begin the absorption process.

The Silver Dragon King and the others were quite generous. After Wang Si expressed his desire for spirit bones, they readily provided him with a substantial number.

There were over ten of them, with the lowest being eight thousand years old and the oldest dating back four hundred thousand years.

Wang Si started absorbing the spirit bones, even though he didn't typically rely on them. The older spirit bones, however, would accelerate his soul power level advancement.

Wang Si was actually quite concerned about his rapid progress, but since someone had complained about his weakness, he decided to embrace this shortcut to power.

…………

Half a year later.

Having reached the sixty-ninth level of soul power, Wang Si contemplated his new "template."

During those six months, he had not only absorbed spirit bones but also solidified his foundation.

With numerous spirit bones providing him with energy, he didn't need to focus excessively on foundation-building.

In the meantime, Di Tian had given him several more spirit bones, including some that were hundreds of thousands of years old, obtained from other fierce beasts.

His strength had reached the sixty-ninth level, and a new template had been unlocked.

However, this template was a bit...
