Chapter 22: The Right Leg Bone of the One-Horned Fire Tyrannosaurus
"Uncle Sword, do you think what Uncle Bone said is true?"
On the way from Bone Peak to the sect hall, Ning Fengzhi asked Chen Xin.
"Do you think it's impossible?"
Chen Xin's eyes flickered slightly as he fell into his memories. Gu Xuan was definitely the most talented one in his memory.
"Upon awakening their martial soul, they can deal damage comparable to a Soul Master based on the quality of their martial soul. After obtaining their first soul ring, they can master their own flames to an unparalleled degree."
Although it is a talent, that talent is precisely what separates geniuses from ordinary people.
With the old bones personally guiding him, what level do you think he can reach in the future?
Chen Xin compared his own talent with that of Gu Xuan.
Compared to this, his once-proud talent seems like a joke.
Even so, his father once said that his talent was greater than his own.
His father ultimately achieved the rank of 98.
He believed that if he could reach this level before his demise, and Gu Xuan was stronger than him, then becoming a Limit Douluo in the future might not be so difficult.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on Rongrong from now on."
Ning Fengzhi has made up his mind that he will no longer try to scheme against Gu Xuan.
He believed that as long as he gave his heart to people, everything would fall into place naturally. He was confident that even if Gu Xuan did not stand firmly with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, he would still take care of him.
"Good that you understand. Xuan'er is a grateful child. I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing how far he can go in the future."
The two returned to the Seven Treasures Hall after talking. As the head of a sect, Ning Fengzhi usually had a lot of things to deal with.
The next morning, Gu Xuan opened his eyes from meditation. The slow recovery of his mental energy after overdrawing it had indeed greatly improved his mental strength.
A dragon talisman shone brightly in Gu Xuan's newly opened eyes, but it quickly faded away.
"Grandpa, you really don't need to do this."
Gu Xuan pushed open the door and saw that Gu Rong had prepared all sorts of medicinal dishes.
Most of them are foods that nourish the body and strengthen bones and muscles, such as foods made by powerful soul beasts like dragon tendons.
During the first stage of the Warring States period, most sects with established traditions possessed auxiliary cultivation methods similar to pharmacology.
Gu Xuan's favorite among these is dietary supplements.
As Gu Rong's grandson, his treatment was exceptionally high, especially after he awakened his soul power.
Almost everything they eat and use is made from thousand-year-old soul beasts.
However, Gu Xuan felt it was rather undignified for a titled Douluo to be preparing meals for him like a mother hen.
Doesn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have any suitable servants or stewards?
"It's alright, it'll only be a few days. I can rest easy once Lao Fu comes back."
Gu Rong didn't refute it. It was true that it was normal for him to serve his grandson as a grandfather, but he was also a titled Douluo enshrined by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It wouldn't be right for him to just stay by Gu Xuan's side all the time.
However, he was not at ease entrusting Gu Xuan's safety to others, so he could only wait for his personally trained confidants to return.
"Old Fu?"
Gu Xuan's memories surged rapidly, and he found records about Lao Fu.
Lao Fu was a trusted subordinate of Gu Rong, but his talent was limited, and even with the great efforts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he could only barely reach the level of a Soul Douluo.
They were among the most elite men under Gu Rong's command.
Judging from Gu Rong's words, this old Fu will probably be his protector from now on.
"Yes, he took an escort mission to Xingluo, and it's been more than half a year. He should be back soon. I'm at ease leaving your food, clothing, and lodging to him from now on."
Although Gu Rong wanted to stay with Gu Xuan forever, the arrival of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin brought him back to his senses.
He's not alone after all; it's not right for someone from such a large and powerful family to keep taking advantage of others.
At the very least, they still need to rely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to collect enough soul bones for his grandson.
"oh!"
Gu Xuan nodded to indicate that he understood. After all, it was already good that Gu Rong had spent several months with him. In the past, seeing each other a few times a month would have been considered diligent.
"By the way, this is what your Uncle Ning promised to give you."
After finishing their meal, Gu Rong took a box from his soul tool and handed it to Gu Xuan.
Before Gu Xuan could even squint his eyes to feel the warmth of his body, a beautiful box appeared before him.
Putting everything else aside, the material and craftsmanship of this box alone would easily fetch several thousand gold soul coins elsewhere.
Every time Gu Xuan ate a large amount of food, he would marvel at the benefits of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School's vast wealth and power.
This is why, despite disliking Ning Rongrong, he still chose not to leave.
His growth rate will decrease by at least one-third if he leaves this place.
Although it may not seem like much, it will become a huge loss over time.
Gu Xuan took the box brought by Gu Rong and opened it himself. Instantly, a scorching aura rushed out, causing Gu Xuan to squint his eyes.
Dragon Soul Bone!
It has to be said that Ning Fengzhi knows how to win people's hearts. Ning Rongrong had just displeased him, and Ning Fengzhi immediately tried to mend the rift.
Furthermore, the originally promised 50,000-year soul bone lifespan has been increased to 60,000 years.
No wonder he was able to control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"This is a right leg bone from a unicorn tyrannosaurus, and it's 60,000 years old. If its attributes didn't match mine, it wouldn't be yours."
Gu Rong smacked his lips and said.
He only has three soul bones to date, all of which were found by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Their attributes, quality, and age are all excellent.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't find him a powerful soul bone that was a perfect match.
Otherwise, if he had all his soul bones, his strength would have increased by at least one level.
"One-horned fire tyrannosaurus".
Gu Xuan looked at the soul bone and honestly didn't think much of it.
From the perspective of a time traveler, if one's soul bones don't reach the full 100,000-year level, wouldn't it be a waste to time travel and awaken twin martial souls?
But if it were him, whether his soul bone reached 100,000 years or not wouldn't be that important.
It mainly depends on compatibility.
The soul bone in front of us is of perfect quality, and its soul power aura is extremely rich, so it is probably a new bone.
"This soul bone has not been absorbed yet, and its soul power is at its most abundant. If you absorb it, you might be able to directly raise your soul power to level 20, and even greatly improve your physique."
Of course, it's okay if you don't like this soul bone. Grandpa will find a way to help you get other better soul bones in the future.
Even a 100,000-year-old soul bone, Grandpa will find a way to get it for you.
It's clear that Gu Rong is extremely satisfied with this soul bone.
However, if Gu Xuan doesn't like it, Gu Rong won't force him to absorb it. Instead, she will try to provide him with a better soul bone.
"No need, this is good enough. Grandpa, please keep an eye on it for me, I'll absorb it now."
After some thought, Gu Xuan decided to absorb it.
There aren't many fire-attribute 100,000-year-old soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, and he's not so fussy about not absorbing anything other than a 100,000-year-old soul bone; he's not that obsessed.
Moreover, there are ways to increase the age of the soul bone in the future. Absorbing the soul bone now will only allow him to go further and faster on the path of a soul master.
After making up his mind, Gu Xuan took out the soul bone right in front of Gu Rong, placed it on his right leg, and began to absorb it by circulating his soul power.
