"It's been around for a while? Brother-in-law, are you saying that someone has already managed to increase the age of a spirit ring?"
Shui Yue'er stared at Mu Ci with her large, beautiful, light blue eyes in surprise.
"Of course, this is nothing to be surprised about."
"Do you remember the gods I told you about?"
The events of several years ago are still vivid in our minds; no one will forget them.
Everyone nodded silently, eager to hear Mu Ci continue.
"The Angel God worshipped by the Spirit Hall and the Sea God worshipped on the Sea God Island overseas can actually increase the age of a Soul Master's Soul Rings."
"Due to the special nature of its inheritance, the Angel God only accepts Soul Masters with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul to begin the assessment, so let's leave that aside for now."
"However, the requirements for examinees on Poseidon Island are very low; anyone who meets the requirements can take the exam."
"The examination for the Divine Examiners has six levels: white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold!"
"The assessment level is determined by the Soul Master's talent. Among them, the eighth level of the red level is called the High Priest Assessment, while the gold level is the ninth level of the God Assessment."
"Each time you pass the divine test, your soul power level and soul ring age will increase."
"As far as I know, the high priests of the Angel God and the Sea God have terrifying soul ring configurations of eight black and one red."
After Mu Ci finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and looked at the expressions of the others.
After hearing the whole story, Dugu Bo's eyes showed both longing and desolation.
"Eight black and one red, what a terrifying age limit! Even the first spirit ring is a terrifying ten-thousand-year spirit ring. What kind of advantage would this give in a battle?"
Suddenly, Dugu Bo became puzzled again and expressed his question to Mu Ci.
"But Xiao Ci, why haven't these things spread throughout the Soul Master world? Putting aside Seagod Island, the Spirit Hall is right on the mainland."
Mu Ci thought for a moment and replied.
"It's mainly because the Angel God's inheritance is very demanding. It can only be passed down within the Qian family, so it doesn't need to be widely known to the public."
"Moreover, the era of the Angel God is too ancient. Apart from the titled Douluo elders in the hall and a few close relatives, most people probably just regard these secrets as a fictional legend."
Thinking of this, Mu Ci smiled.
"Moreover, neither of the two great empires would want to see this kind of thing spread."
Once the Angel God is confirmed, the Spirit Hall's influence will likely reach a terrifying level.
Mu Ci suddenly didn't want to talk about this anymore, and smiled at the three women.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, you'll find out eventually anyway."
"I didn't just get something from this trip; I also brought you gifts!"
Mu Ci's words made the eyes of the three of them light up.
"Aci, what is the gift you mentioned? Let me see it quickly."
This time, Huo Wu was even faster than Shui Yue'er, and said to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci smiled at the group and waved his hand to take out three radiant soul bones from his storage soul tool and place them on the table.
On the way here, Mu Ci had already examined the attributes of several soul bones and found that they were all suitable for the three of them.
These are the left arm bone with air burst, the right arm bone with power amplification, and the left leg bone with passive amplification of all attributes.
"Soul bones! And they're all of extremely high quality! Brother Mu Ci, how did you obtain these?"
"How could I have these soul bones from just the sacrifice of a soul beast?"
Shui Bing'er's somewhat inquisitive tone gave Mu Ci a headache.
He didn't tell the others about Tang Hao because he didn't want them to worry.
After all, Tang Hao is already dead, so there's no point in saying it. But it seems that he still can't escape the sharp-witted Shui Bing'er.
After being reminded by Shui Bing'er's words, Huo Wu and Shui Yue'er realized what was going on and looked at Mu Ci with their beautiful eyes, wanting an explanation.
Mu Ci had lived with them for so long, and she knew everything about what was inside the soul tools, even if she didn't say it was all there. She knew that there were no soul bones or anything like that.
If it were true, Mu Ci would have given it to them long ago; how could she have waited until now?
"Bing'er, would you believe me if I said a kind person sent these to us?"
Mu Ci's somewhat ingratiating words earned her a roll of her eyes from Shui Bing'er, who replied irritably.
"Do you think I'd believe that? If you don't explain yourself clearly, we won't accept these soul bones."
Seeing that there was really no other way, Mu Ci could only briefly recount how Tang Hao had ambushed her after she had absorbed the spirit ring.
After hearing Mu Ci finish speaking, the three women's eyes all turned a little red.
Although the account was brief, everyone knew how dangerous it was.
If Mu Ci's strength hadn't exceeded Tang Hao's expectations, he wouldn't have been able to turn the tables and kill Mu Ci.
So they might not see their men at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well today.
Chapter 100 Distributing Soul Bones
Huo Wu's heart clenched at the thought of the consequences of Tang Hao's successful sneak attack on Mu Ci, and a nameless fear welled up inside her.
After the fear came boundless rage. Her golden-red eyes seemed to be burning, and her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
He said in a harsh tone, "Damn Tang Hao, what kind of Haotian Douluo is he, that he would actually do such a despicable thing."
At this moment, Huo Wu was furious. If she hadn't been mindful of her image in front of her elders and Mu Ci, she would have said even more hurtful things.
Although Shui Bing'er, who was being held by Mu Ci's hand, did not speak, her icy blue eyes revealed a chilling intent that would make anyone tremble at a glance.
As for Shuiyue'er, her eyes were red, and if Muci didn't comfort her, she would probably burst into tears at any moment.
After all, it's only a hair's breadth away from being separated from your loved one by death, so it's normal to feel some lingering fear.
While feeling a warmth in her heart, Mu Ci held Shui Bing'er's hand with one hand and gently patted Huo Wu's back with the other, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Alright, stop being angry. Tang Hao is already dead, why are you getting angry at a dead man? Besides, he gave us such a great gift."
"This is the inherited soul bone of the Clear Sky Sect. Even the Spirit Hall doesn't have many of this quality."
Huo Wu was gently comforted by Mu Ci, and her anger subsided slightly, but she was still somewhat frightened.
"That's true, but can you really calculate it that way when it comes to feelings?"
"You're my man. If something happens to you, what will my sisters and I do?"
"Although Tang Hao is dead, the Haotian Sect is still alive and well."
"I'm not going to let this go so easily."
Mu Ci looked at Huo Wu and spoke as if coaxing a child.
"Alright, alright, it certainly won't end so easily."
"They won't let this go, and I won't let it go so easily. The matter between the two families will only be over when one side fully understands it."
"But that's a matter for later, so let's not talk about it now."
"Can we see your gifts now?"
Afterwards, Mu Ci comforted Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, helping them to get over their emotions about the incident.
"These three soul bones are all of extremely good quality; they should all be inherited soul bones of the Haotian Sect."
“Huo Wu cultivates her physical martial soul, which places the highest demands on her body. So this piece of the Strength Amplification Right Arm Bone is yours. It can greatly enhance your physical strength.”
Upon hearing Mu Ci's words, Huo Wu happily took the right arm bone.
"If it's Bing'er, then choose this right leg bone. It can passively amplify all attributes, and the effect is extremely good."
"And after you absorb the soul bone, you'll be even closer to level 50. At that time, I'll choose the best soul skill for Ultimate Ice for you."
"Moon, you..."
But before Mu Ci could finish speaking, Shui Yue'er hurriedly interrupted.
"Brother-in-law, I don't want it. You can give mine to Bing'er. She's only level 46 because of the Extreme Ice. I've been stuck at level 48 for a long time and I'll be breaking through to level 49 soon."
“We were originally on equal footing, but now I’ve already overtaken her. You should give it to her so Bing’er can reach level 50 faster.”
After she finished speaking, Shuiyue'er blushed slightly and smiled shyly.
"And I believe my future brother-in-law will definitely give me something better, hehe."
After Shuiyue finished speaking, she flattered the two of them.
When Mu Ci heard Shui Yue'er say that, he didn't insist.
To put it bluntly, Mu Ci looked down on these soul bones. Soul bones that were fifty or sixty thousand years old would be considered top-grade by ordinary people, but to him they were just so-so.
Even if Shui Bing'er absorbs it now, he may replace it with something better in the future.
The bone transformation seems unbelievable to others.
But for him, it was no different from changing clothes or equipment.
However, Tang Hao's six soul bones were indeed too few; even those around him couldn't have one each.
It seems I should make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, a gathering place for soul beasts. There, you can find a ton of soul bones, not just 50,000-year-old ones, but even 100,000-year-old ones.
Over the years, countless soul beasts have failed to survive the heavenly tribulation. We can just take a batch of them as trade goods, since they won't need them anyway.
Compared to the Silver Dragon King's injuries, this little bit of stuff is just a bonus.
By then, it won't be a problem to provide each of my loved ones with a full set of soul bones.
Hearing Shui Yue'er say that, Shui Bing'er smiled at her.
However, looking at the two soul bones in front of her, and then at Dugu Bo who was leisurely drinking tea by the stone table, Shui Bing'er said somewhat cautiously.
"Brother Mu Ci, did you leave any for Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling?"
Mu Ci smiled and pinched Shui Bing'er's smooth, pretty face, and said.
"Of course, you should just focus on absorbing your soul bone. I have made preparations for both of them."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo finished his tea and smiled at the others.
