Chapter 56: “A Yin

To a certain extent, A Yin's this "Wildfire Unending, Spring Breeze Revives" healing skill can be called a divine technique! It can quickly recover one's own injuries, and if pushed to the extreme it can even achieve the miraculous effect of limb regeneration. As a power-attack system battle soul master, Yu Tianyun will inevitably suffer injuries in the future; possessing this soul bone's skill will greatly enhance his survivability.

This hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone was hidden by Tang Hao in a waterfall valley near Fasinuo Province, Nuoding City, and Holy Soul Village; normally Tang Hao stations himself in this valley.

But this time, Shilake Xueyuan is opening enrollment, Tang San and Xiao Wu will go to Shilake Xueyuan to register, and Tang Hao will follow secretly; this is a rare opportunity for him to be away from this place.

If not taken now, perhaps there will be no chance later. This hundred-thousand-year soul bone with terrifying healing ability is something Yu Tianyun is determined to obtain; even if there may be some risks in the process, the benefits are enough for him to take this risk.

Once a soul bone is absorbed, as long as one does not actively use its skill, no one can know that you possess a soul bone. Moreover, in a few years, even if Tang Hao finds out, what can he do? Right now Yu Tianyun can rival a Title Douluo, and in a few years Tang Hao will surely be surpassed by him! Yu Tianyun bought a local map in Nuoding City; although it cost a lot, he obtained a very detailed map, with rivers, terrain, village distribution, all recorded in detail.

Holy Soul Village, waterfall, valley.

Since Tang Hao used it to conceal the seeds and soul bone left by the Blue Silver Emperor, this shows it is an extremely hidden place.

But on the map, Yu Tianyun did not find a place meeting the conditions. However, Tang Hao lives in seclusion in Holy Soul Village, so the location of the waterfall and valley must not be too far.

After such consideration, Yu Tianyun observed the direction of mountains and rivers near Holy Soul Village according to the map, and eventually noticed some clues—a continuous range of high mountains; what exactly lies within the mountains is not marked on the map, likely a place rarely visited by people.

After Yu Tianyun had a target, he prepared to set out. However, before departure, Yu Tianyun again disguised himself. He took off his previous clothes, put on an extremely ordinary and coarse hemp garment, darkened his face, and attached a beard, looking exactly like a middle-aged farmer.

This disguise is completely different from his usual appearance; even Yu Yuanzhen, who knows Yu Tianyun best, would absolutely not recognize him without using mental power, just by sight.

After Yu Tianyun left the city, this disguise attracted no attention on the road, and he smoothly reached the forests near Holy Soul Village.

When night fell, Yu Tianyun grew a pair of Dragon Wings on his back, lightly flapped and shot up into the sky. After confirming the location via the map, Yu Tianyun flew toward the rear mountain of Holy Soul Village and entered that continuous, undulating mountain range.

Yu Tianyun is extremely patient; under the cover of night he flies quite high, so few people can spot him, and flying high gives a wide view, allowing faster search for the target.

When he flew over several peaks that ordinary people cannot climb, he noticed a forest area with extremely dense water vapor, which refreshed his spirit, indicating there must be a water source nearby.

His flight speed slowed a little, his eyes emitted a faint red-blue light, and he began to search more meticulously. When the sound of water reached his ears, Yu Tianyun became even more certain he had found the right place. Following the water sound, a rushing waterfall, illuminated by the moonlight, came into Yu Tianyun's view; the water surged tumultuously, mist rose and spread, glittering with moonlight.

Yu Tianyun took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions, for this might be the most dangerous moment; he retracted his Double Wings and quietly landed nearby, not rashly advancing to scout, but instead restrained his mental power and observed the surroundings of the waterfall with the naked eye.

He feared that if Tang Hao had not secretly followed Tang San away at this moment, his mental fluctuations might very well alert Tang Hao; he had come into contact with many Title Douluo, and he knew well that a Title Douluo's perception is extremely keen!

This valley is quite broad; due to rarely being visited by people, it retains a relatively primitive appearance, though not completely devoid of traces of human activity. Beside the riverbank below the waterfall there is an open space that seems to have been specially cleared, with traces of a campfire having burned.

Yu Tianyun guessed this might have been left by Tang Hao; he still did not act rashly, waited two hours with no one returning or leaving, then deliberately made some movement, and waited another two hours, still no one returned or left.

There should be no one; we've waited four hours, let's go all out! Yu Tianyun thought silently, then he used his mental power to activate the Ice Fire Dual Pupils, simultaneously flapped his wings and flew out, instantly reaching the side of the waterfall, scanning from top to bottom, and he knew that a cave was hidden behind the waterfall.

Afterward, Yu Tianyun did not immediately enter the cave, but flew up to high altitude and cautiously scanned the surroundings; although he had judged Tang Hao was not present, he still wanted to confirm with his eyes. After the scan, indeed no one was seen, Yu Tianyun then relaxed somewhat, retracted his Double Wings, quickly rushed in, and landed with his feet on the ground.

After entering the cave, Yu Tianyun proceeded without hesitation, walking quickly. Under his Ice Fire Dual Pupils, all details of this dark, damp cave were clearly presented in his field of view; he could determine that no mechanisms had been installed in the cave.

This cave lies behind the waterfall, inevitably somewhat cold and damp, yet Yu Tianyun's heart is filled with extreme excitement and fervor.

He immediately saw a small mound of earth in the center of the cave, on which a small plant was grown; looking at its appearance, it is clearly a stalk of Blue Silver Grass, but its leaves bear golden veins, emitting a faint glow, making it appear extremely noble.

Yu Tianyun knew this was the true Blue Silver Emperor, indeed the main body of A Yin! Beside A Yin lay a pile of dried Blue Silver Grass stacked into a heap; on the heap there is a depression. Observing that trace, Yu Tianyun guessed that someone had once lain on their side here, with their gaze exactly toward where A Yin was.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianyun couldn't help but feel speechless: "In such a dark, damp environment, for A Yin's seed to germinate is truly not easy! Is Tang Hao brainless? Or is his head just filled with muscles? The Blue Silver Emperor is not planted in a sunny place, but in this sunless, dark, cold, damp cave—do you wish for A Yin to die early? And lying there like a fool, one person and one grass gazing deeply at each other."

Yu Tianyun stopped thinking about Tang Hao's speechless maneuver, examined all around, and quickly discovered a hidden compartment containing the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, located behind the heap where Tang Hao lay.
