Chapter 15: External Spirit Bone: Golden Twin Swords

Lingxu, my son, absorbing the Spirit Ring of a Golden Saber-Toothed Tiger, who would have thought a soul bone would also appear.

An External Spirit Bone; Luo Xingyue had read about them in books regarding soul bones.

So she could tell at a glance, but for a moment, she dared not believe her own eyes.

The probability of a soul bone appearing on a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast is one in a thousand, or even less than one in a thousand, and this External Spirit Bone is even more precious; one could say the probability is not even one in ten thousand.

Therefore, the rarity of this External Spirit Bone is second only to a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

Carlos and Cheng Mo, who were guarding the perimeter, both swallowed their saliva in unison.

Who doesn't love a soul bone? Perhaps the two of them were unaware of the existence of External Spirit Bones, so they looked at this soul bone with some confusion, thinking to themselves, wasn't it said that soul bones only drop from ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts?

After a long while, Luo Xingyue finally suppressed her excitement; Lingxu obtaining an External Spirit Bone seemed to make her even happier than if she had obtained a soul bone herself.

However, Luo Xingyue still understood the principle that "possessing a treasure is a crime"; in this world of Spirit Masters, the weak are unable to protect their own External Spirit Bones.

Lingxu has not yet grown up, so the task of protecting Lingxu rests on her and her husband, Ling Bufan.

Luo Xingyue cast a cold glance at Carlos and Cheng Mo nearby.

How could the two of them not understand what Luo Xingyue meant? They nodded one after another to indicate their stance.

In the world of Spirit Masters, there is no shortage of examples where a team begins a massacre and kills each other over a single soul bone; Luo Xingyue was also warning the two of them.

Fortunately, Lingxu was brought here by his mother, Luo Xingyue, to absorb the Spirit Ring; if someone else had come, they might have spared no cost to seize the soul bone.

At this moment, Lingxu does not need to worry about his own safety and can devote himself entirely to absorbing this soul bone.

The moment he obtained the soul bone, Lingxu also understood that what the Golden Saber-Toothed Tiger had left behind was an External Spirit Bone.

At first, he was a little worried, because the most formidable part of a Golden Saber-Toothed Tiger is that pair of saber teeth.

If he were to get an External Spirit Bone like that, what would happen?

Would he have to sprout saber teeth like the Golden Saber-Toothed Tiger from his mouth when using it?

But how could one refuse a rare External Spirit Bone?

Fortunately, shortly after he began absorbing the soul bone, Lingxu felt relieved; this External Spirit Bone was not a saber tooth growing on his teeth. If it really were that, it would truly live up to the four-character idiom: "hard to speak of"!

Time passed slowly; from the afternoon until the next morning, Lingxu finally finished absorbing this soul bone completely.

One Spirit Ring and one External Spirit Bone had actually taken a full day and night.

After successfully absorbing them, Lingxu's soul power had unexpectedly risen to level thirty-two this time.

Ten years old, level thirty-two soul power.

If not for the existence of Qian Renxue, who was a heaven-defying innate level twenty, he would be the best on the continent.

Moreover, when she goes to Disguise as Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue will also fuse with a ninety-nine-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine-year soul bone. In short, he still has a long way to go if he wants to surpass Qian Renxue in the future.

Because of the Disguise and handling the state affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire, her cultivation progress was delayed. Lingxu also secretly decided in his heart that if Qian Renxue really went to Heaven Dou City, then he would go there too.

As for Tang San being able to surpass Qian Renxue, that was entirely due to Qian Renxue herself, which gave him the opportunity. If Qian Renxue cultivated properly, Tang San wouldn't even be fit to carry her shoes.

Although he might not be able to help Qian Renxue much by going there, at least he could bring some happiness to Qian Renxue, who was in a foreign land.

Of course, he had his own reasons for wanting to go to Heaven Dou City.

His system only issued tasks related to Qian Renxue; only by getting closer could he have the opportunity to obtain and complete tasks.

Only by completing tasks could he get system rewards, and with the rewards, Lingxu could quickly make himself strong.

"Mother, I have finished absorbing it."

Lingxu stood up and looked at Luo Xingyue, who had barely closed her eyes all night; he felt a bit moved in his heart, vowing to protect his home well in the future.

Today you protect me, in the future I will protect you with all my might.

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Luo Xingyue's face.

"Good, we will head back immediately," Luo Xingyue said.

If it were before, she would have definitely asked about her son's Spirit Ring skill and Spirit Bone Skill the very first thing.

But since there were two other people here, she didn't mention a word.

However, Luo Xingyue still walked up to Carlos and Cheng Mo.

"You should know what to do about today's events, right?"

"We know, we know, Bishop, we will absolutely let what we saw today rot in our stomachs and will never spread it," Carlos and Cheng Mo said.

Could they say otherwise? Luo Xingyue would surely kill them both immediately.

Originally, Luo Xingyue had the intention to kill them, but these two had not done anything out of line and were, at the same time, loyal to her husband, Ling Bufan.

Otherwise, Ling Bufan would not have sent the two of them to assist Lingxu in searching for a Spirit Ring.

"Good, I hope so."

"Otherwise..."

Luo Xingyue's killing intent was fully revealed, enveloping the two of them. The two immediately said, "Please rest assured, Bishop!"

After the effect was achieved, Luo Xingyue withdrew her killing intent and then took out a Gold Soul Coin Card from her Soul Guidance Device.

"There are twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins here; consider it your reward for coming this time."

Carlos said, "Bishop, this is too much. We are subordinates of Lord Bufan, and coming here is part of our duty."

"Yes, Bishop!" Cheng Mo also chimed in.

In reality, they were still tempted by the twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins, ten thousand for each.

Their usual work was not particularly dangerous, so the two of them did not have a high salary at the Spirit Hall; as Soul Kings, they only made about one thousand Gold Soul Coins a month.

Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins was already ten months' income; it was definitely a huge sum of money.

Luo Xingyue said, "If I tell you to take it, then take it; don't have so much nonsense."

"Good, good! Thank you, Bishop," Carlos and Cheng Mo said. The two of them also understood in their hearts that this money could also be considered hush money; since they had accepted it, they had to keep the secret absolutely.

Next, the four of them began to walk toward the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Six days later, in Wuhun City, inside the secret cultivation room of Lingxu's home.

Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue stood before Lingxu, but Ling Bufan kept nagging, saying that Luo Xingyue shouldn't have let their son take such risks.

Luo Xingyue listened for quite a while before responding, "Alright, alright, I know, didn't our son succeed?"

"Son, you can display that External Spirit Bone of yours here."

For these six days, Luo Xingyue had been dying of impatience, having long wanted to see exactly what kind of External Spirit Bone her son had obtained.

"What! An External Spirit Bone?" Ling Bufan looked at the two of them in confusion.

The next instant, Lingxu extended his right arm, and a golden bone sword grew out from the back of his hand, resembling the saber-teeth of a Golden Saber-Toothed Tiger.

The bone sword was not particularly long, about thirty-five centimeters, with the sharp edges on both sides glinting with a cold light.

"It really is an External Spirit Bone!" Ling Bufan said in surprise.

Lingxu said, "For now, let's just call this External Spirit Bone the Golden Sword! Though, it should really be the Golden Twin Swords!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another golden bone sword, identical to the one on his right hand, was released from Lingxu's left hand.
