Chapter 569: Treasure Distribution

After listening, Feihuang felt that Xuedi was truly ruthless, having turned this Ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus into something akin to a living dead among humans.

According to the original description, the last of the three great kings of the Extreme North, the Titan Snow Demon, had also had every bone in his body shattered by her, requiring nearly a thousand years of rest to recover.

This fellow's ruthlessness and beauty were perfectly proportional.

One cannot assume she is a so-called kind Spirit Beast just because she is so gentle toward Huo Yuhao; if she were truly only kind and lacked ruthlessness, she could never have steadily cultivated to her current cultivation of nearly seven hundred thousand years, for the world of Spirit Beasts is, after all, one where the weak are prey to the strong.

Fortunately, Feihuang took the initiative to gain the upper hand, displaying overwhelming strength to defeat her and Bingdi; otherwise, she would certainly not have been so easy to talk to.

"What is wrong, Junior Brother?" Seeing Nan Feihuang fall into a daze for a moment, Shui Bing'er asked with concern.

"It is nothing, Senior Sister. This Ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus was actually a gift from Senior Xuedi to you. She originally wanted to use this flower to take human form, but now she has no use for it and did not want to waste it. The soul of this Spirit Beast has already been extinguished by Xuedi, so you need not worry about danger; feel free to absorb it," Feihuang said, touching the ice block with his hand.

His palm shimmered with a red radiance, and the power of Extreme Fire melted the ice, revealing the Ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus inside.

"For me? Many thanks, Senior Xuedi!" Shui Bing'er bowed deeply in the direction of Nan Feihuang; although she could not see Xuedi, she knew Xuedi was right beside Feihuang at this moment.

A Ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus with an extinguished soul but a surviving physical body was practically a free Ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring and soul bone. To obtain such a treasure, which ranked first on the dream list of every Spirit Master, so easily was truly a stroke of heaven-sent luck.

"There are five more soul bones here: two left arm bones, one right leg bone, one left leg bone, and one head bone. Although it is a pity there is no torso bone, which is the rarest, they are still quite good. The age is likely over fifty thousand years. Let's divide them up. Wenruo, Third Sister, and Haote, catch!"

Feihuang flicked his arm, and flames melted the five soul bones. Two of them flew before Xun Yu—the right leg bone and the left arm bone. Two flew before Nan Feiling—the left arm bone and the left leg bone. The final one flew to Haote's side—the head bone.

Xun Yu currently possessed two soul bones: one was a prize from the Academy Tournament, a fifty-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor Torso Bone, and the other was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone that dropped when Feihuang hunted the Spirit of Nature, which was a head bone.

Most people obtain the limb bones first, as the head bone and torso bone are the rarest, yet he had done the opposite, obtaining the head bone and torso bone first.

This was fine, as filling in the limb bones was simpler than filling in those two types.

The simplest thing about finding soul bones for Xun Yu was that one did not need to deliberately consider attribute issues, because he himself was attribute-less; as long as the cultivation was high enough, any soul bone was perfectly suitable for him.

Nan Feiling, however, was a rare all-attribute type, and she could likewise absorb any attribute. If she focused on wind and earth, that would naturally be best, but other attributes did not matter. The strongest effect of the Nine Brilliance Immortal Ginseng she had consumed was its ability to synthesize various different attributes within her body, preventing the kind of rejection phenomenon Lan Xue had experienced back then.

Xun Yu received the soul bones and bowed in thanks, "Many thanks to the Lord for the generous reward!"

"That is wonderful, Brother. With these two soul bones, I will surely be able to break through to Spirit Douluo very soon," Nan Feiling said joyfully.

Feihuang nodded, "Sister, I think you should absorb one first. One is enough for you to break through to the Eightieth Level. Keep the remaining one for now to use when you strike the bottleneck in the future."

"Very well, I will listen to you, Brother." Nan Feiling had always listened to Nan Feihuang; she chose one at random and began to absorb it. Haote, however, stood holding the soul bone in his hands, at a loss, "This... Crown Prince, do I have a share as well?"

Feihuang smiled, "Of course. We are not familiar with this Extreme North, and the entire journey relied on your care. I also promised that I would certainly reward you, so how could I break my word? I am not the type of person who only makes empty promises to employees without ever putting them into practice."

"Haote, although you only received one soul bone, it is the most precious of these five. The part is the rarest head bone, and based on my judgment, its age is around seventy thousand years. It will allow your strength to rise suddenly. Not only that, you may also take some of the Cold Marrow here back with you to assist your cultivation. With this, you will definitely have the hope of becoming a Title Douluo in this lifetime!"

"Many thanks for the Crown Prince's great kindness. This subordinate will surely be loyal and devoted, with no second thoughts!" Haote was deeply moved.

He had only acted as a guide, yet he had received resources sufficient to allow him to achieve the rank of Title Douluo; this reward was truly too heavy.

The three sat cross-legged to absorb the soul bones. Seeing this, Feihuang looked at Bingdi with some expectation and said, "By the way, Bingdi, look at all the good things Senior Xuedi has collected. You are also one of the emperors of the Extreme North; surely you have some savings?"

"Hmph, brat, keep dreaming. I am not like Xuedi, who has the habit of collecting trophies. My opponents are all chewed up by me until not even their bones remain. Even if I had any, I would not leave them for a stinking brat like you who bullies my kin," Bingdi said.

Her true form was the Ice Jade Scorpion, and many Spirit Beasts in this Extreme North were merely her food.

She looked down upon the bones left behind by those ingredients.

"Tch, how stingy. And here I thought I had helped you so much, punishing the wicked and promoting the good for your Ice Jade Scorpion clan!" Feihuang pouted, feeling aggrieved.

"Punishing the wicked and promoting the good?" Bingdi said angrily, "You took your subordinates and bullied my kin until they were crying in despair. You call that punishing the wicked and promoting the good?"

She deeply felt Feihuang's shamelessness; he was really gilding his own lily.

Feihuang asked in confusion, "Is it not? Did I not choose the Ice Jade Scorpions that looked relatively evil?"

Feihuang explained his thoughts in detail, and during the process, he asked Bingdi about news regarding Ice Jade Scorpions that had mastered the Ice Explosion Technique.

After listening, the doubt in Bingdi's heart was finally resolved, "So that is it. I was wondering why you were so bored, always looking for trouble with my kin but never killing a single one. So you were looking for Ice Jade Scorpions that know the Ice Explosion Technique."

Feihuang replied, "Exactly. You see, although my Senior Sister is of the ice attribute and has astonishing control, her attack power is slightly lacking. Thus, I thought that among ice-attribute soul skills, in terms of pure attack power, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's Ice Explosion Technique must be the best, so I brought her along."

"I originally thought that Ice Jade Scorpions with more irritable tempers or more evil personalities would be more likely to master this violent soul skill, but I have beaten several evil Spirit Beasts these past few days and could not find a single one. It seems I estimated incorrectly."
