Chapter 88

Saying it and doing it, Gu Xuan directly stored the whole dragon egg and the gorgeous crystal used to incubate the dragon egg into his Cosmic Treasure Pouch.

Du Gu Yan and Dugu Bo also instantly understood Gu Xuan's idea; they also wanted to see whether the Sword Wing Devil Dragon hatched from this dragon egg could be domesticated, and if so, it would not be a bad combat force.

However, becoming a combat force is temporarily impossible, after all the Sword Wing Devil Dragon also needs to grow.

But if it could be raised, it could in the future become the guardian spirit beast of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

Then the three each took out their various storage soul tools, sweeping clean the Sword Wing Magic Dragon's nest, and bringing it back would also be a considerable fortune.

However, Gu Xuan didn't find any other usable treasures; only these gold and silver items, which he regarded as dirt.

Having returned laden with spoils, they left the cave; at this moment Mi He was still absorbing the soul ring, but his aura was rising steadily, and it wouldn't be long before he absorbed this soul ring and became a Titled Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi watched the returning Gu Xuan and Dugu Bo trio, smiled slightly at Xiao Xuan, and said, "Xiao Xuan, how was the harvest?"

Gu Xuan smiled helplessly and replied, "Just some gold and silver valuables, nothing special."

However, Gu Xuan paused, then said, "But I found a Sword Wing Magic Dragon's egg in the cave; it's about to hatch, and I want to see if I can raise it."

Ning Fengzhi heard this, pondered briefly, and said, "Okay, but remember, if this creature cannot be tamed, it's best to return it to the Star Dou Great Forest, lest it stay in the sect and harm people."

"Understood."

Saying this, Gu Xuan looked again at the Sword Wing Magic Dragon's corpse and said, "Uncle, can I have this Sword Wing Magic Dragon's corpse? I want to try using its dragon blood and body to nurture this dragon egg."

This idea occurred to Gu Xuan when he saw the dragon egg, after all many fantasy novels have a step of using strong dragon blood to nurture dragon eggs, so Gu Xuan also wanted to give it a try.

Moreover, the Sword Wing Magic Dragon and this dragon egg share the same origin, so doing this might even produce remarkable results.

As for the little Sword Wing Magic Dragon growing up and going to seek its father's killer, Gu Xuan wasn't worried; first, the dragon knows nothing, and later Gu Xuan certainly wouldn't tell it the truth.

At most, he'd say it was a wild child picked up in the mountains.

Or he could fabricate a lie, claiming its father was killed by another Sword Wing Magic Dragon, and he brought Second Uncle Chenxin, the Heavenly God, down to earth to save it when it was still just an egg.

That way, Mi He's ninth soul ring could also be explained.

Of course, these are matters for later, after all whether this little thing can be hatched is still a question.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Gu Xuan, then at the Sword Wing Magic Dragon's corpse, nodded and said, "Okay, but you must keep things in check; don't let this little thing cause any trouble later, otherwise I'll hold you responsible."

Gu Xuan hehe laughed and replied, "Understood!"

At this moment Chenxin seemed to notice something; it had already been an hour since Mi He began absorbing this soul ring, and he, who had always been exceptionally perceptive of the sword Dao, suddenly felt a faint but not weak sword intent on the Sword Wing Magic Dragon's corpse.

Having sensed this, Chenxin walked toward the Sword Wing Magic Dragon's corpse, his Seven Kill Sword appearing, and he slashed at the location where he sensed the sword intent fluctuation.

Gu Xuan, Ning Fengzhi, and the others also turned their gaze over, only to see Chenxin's Seven Kill Sword flash like lightning, and then a crystal-clear bone silently floated up on the Sword Wing Magic Dragon's corpse.

"Soul bone?!" Others couldn't help but be astonished.

This Sword Wing Magic Dragon is over ninety thousand years old, so this soul bone must be a near-hundred-thousand-year top-tier soul bone.

Moreover, judging from where Chenxin extracted it, this appears to be a torso bone.

A near-hundred-thousand-year torso bone is absolutely top-tier, and coming from such a powerful beast as the Sword Wing Magic Dragon, its value is self-evident.

However, this soul bone is somewhat special, because its shape is not that of a torso bone but rather like a spine, about fifty centimeters long, with four extensions on each side resembling sword hilts, somewhat like a miniature version of the Sword Wing Magic Dragon's eight sword wings.

After seeing this clearly, Gu Xuan's pupils constricted: "Could it be an external soul bone?"

Gu Xuan did not deliberately lower his voice, and everyone else heard him clearly.

Those present were not clueless novices; although they weren't deeply knowledgeable about external soul bones, they knew it was a special soul bone outside the six main soul bones, capable of evolving with a Soul Master's growth, and its value is not inferior to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

Moreover, if it's genuine, then this would be an external soul bone with an age of over ninety thousand years; if it could evolve, wouldn't it quickly grow to a hundred thousand years?

However, at this moment everyone present, aside from feeling excited and envious, showed no sign of greed, because they had all received favors from the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and were absolutely loyal.

Having already broken through to Titled Douluo, which is their greatest opportunity, how could they feel ashamed to covet this soul bone?

Of course, there is one exception; at this moment he stared fixedly at the soul bone that seemed to be an external soul bone, his eyes shining, not exactly greedy, but he certainly wanted to possess this soul bone more than anyone else.

That person was none other than Gu Xuan.

Ning Fengzhi turned his head toward Gu Xuan after hearing his words and asked, "Xiao Xuan, are you sure?"

Gu Xuan didn't rush to answer Ning Fengzhi's question; instead he walked toward the soul bone, couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but the faint sword intent emanating from the soul bone made his hand involuntarily sting.

Left with no choice, Gu Xuan only dared to touch it after manifesting his martial soul on both hands, and even with his martial soul manifested, the stinging sensation still made him frown slightly.

No wonder it's a soul bone over ninety thousand years old; even as an ownerless object it possesses such might.

"I'm certain, this is not a torso bone but an external soul bone." After confirming it was an external soul bone, Gu Xuan said.

Then Gu Xuan directly took out his Cosmos Treasure Bag and stored it inside; under the stunned gazes of Second Uncle Chenxin and Ning Fengzhi, he calmly said, "How could this be left so exposed? I'll keep it for now and discuss it after returning to the sect."

Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin, who understood Gu Xuan, had black lines across their faces; they certainly knew Gu Xuan had taken a liking to this soul bone.

However, it must be said, a soul bone over ninety thousand years old, even if it were the lowest-ranking leg bone among soul bones, would already be top-notch, let alone an external soul bone.

Regarding Gu Xuan's brat-like maneuver, Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin expressed both helplessness and amusement.

Zuoyi, Longwu, and Dugu Bo also smiled helplessly; this kid had taken the initiative, so naturally there was no chance for them.

Leaving aside the many opportunities and benefits Gu Xuan has brought them, his current talent alone is enough for the sect to invest in him.

However, Gu Xuan lacks a sword martial soul; otherwise, that would truly be a perfect match for this soul bone.

But after seeing Gu Xuan proactively take the soul bone, Ning Fengzhi also reconsidered whether to give this soul bone to Gu Xuan.

Of course, said to be considering: but in fact Ning Fengzhi had already made up his mind; Gu Xuan rarely proactively asks for anything, and even when he was initially given that fifty-thousand-year Earth Violent Dragon torso bone, he didn't rush to absorb it.

Now, however, he proactively wants this soul bone; frankly, whether it's Gu Xuan's contributions to the sect or his own talent, Ning Fengzhi finds it hard to refuse Gu Xuan's request.

So, in everyone else's eyes, this matter is basically settled.

But there is also someone who wants this soul bone: Chenxin, who can feel a respectable sword intent from this soul bone; if he himself could absorb it, he might even break through to rank ninety-eight thereby.

However, he hasn't said anything yet, and he also feels embarrassed to compete with Gu Xuan for it.

After all, his current peak of rank ninety-seven is thanks to Gu Xuan; without Gu Xuan, he'd probably still be stuck at rank ninety-six.
