"They're actually so willing to part with it? They just let A Yin re-absorb the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone."
Although Su Ming had his suspicions after seeing the Spirit Metal earlier, he was still surprised to actually see the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone buried underground, serving as nourishment for A Yin.
"What a waste of a heavenly treasure."
He carefully retrieved the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
"Since Tang San doesn't want you, I'll take you."
"Shameless!"
A Yin, held by Su Ming's elemental large hand, trembled, exceptionally agitated.
Hearing Su Ming mention Tang San, she guessed that Su Ming had long had his eyes on her.
He had deliberately lured Xiao San and Hao away...
But knowing this now was useless to her.
Su Ming placed her into the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse and left the cave.
Before leaving, he took a final look at the cave.
"Purely elemental methods, nothing to do with me."
Confirming he hadn't left any traces pointing to him, he felt at ease and left.
At that moment, outside Canghui City, Tang San was very satisfied with his results.
"With an Illusion Master providing cover, even if I intentionally checked using my Purple Demon Eyes, I couldn't tell you've lost an arm, Father. Physical-level disguise combined with illusion disguise, plus reducing your presence... it's finally foolproof."
Tang Hao's expression was complex.
"Xiao San, you've inherited your mother's attentiveness."
Beside them, Shi Nian, the one responsible for casting the illusion on Tang Hao, was sweating profusely.
"Shi Nian, I won't let you help for free this time. I will personally guide the blacksmiths of your Canghui Academy from now on. In this aspect, you can trust me, a former Divine Blacksmith," Tang Hao said.
Shi Nian gave an ingratiating smile but did not refute.
A former Divine Blacksmith, now nothing more than a stray dog on the roadside.
Of course, he only thought this to himself.
The former Blacksmith Association President, Lou Gao, wasn't entirely useless now either. Although he hadn't yet broken through to level 80 and lacked a Spirit Soul, as more blacksmiths learned the Spirit Infusion Technique over time, the Blacksmith Association had also produced quasi-Level Three Blacksmiths who mastered Spirit Infusion but couldn't perform Thousand Refinement on Spirit Metal.
Lou Gao could undoubtedly perform Thousand Refinement on metal that had undergone Spirit Infusion.
To some extent, he could also pass as a Level Three Blacksmith.
Looking at it this way, Tang Hao was the same.
These former Divine Blacksmiths were now just pseudo-Level Three Blacksmiths.
With his guidance, the academy's blacksmiths did have a chance to get a step ahead of others.
Of course, for Shi Nian, the academy's development was secondary.
He valued his own interests more.
"As long as you can acquire the corresponding Spirit Infused metal, I can help you complete the Thousand Refinement," Tang Hao said.
This was Tang Hao's second promise.
It was also precisely why Shi Nian agreed to cooperate with Tang Hao.
"Good. But there are a few points I must remind you of, Clear Sky Douluo. From now on, whenever you go out, I must accompany you. Otherwise, the probability of you being recognized is too high. In the future, I will act as the intermediary for your contact with the outside world. This will maximize the guarantee that your information does not leak."
Tang Hao stared at Shi Nian.
Just as Shi Nian was breaking out in a cold sweat, he averted his gaze.
"Don't try any tricks. Although my father has been expelled from the sect, if our whereabouts are exposed because of you, the Clear Sky Clan will never let you off," Tang San threatened from the side.
Shi Nian gave an embarrassed laugh and hurriedly waved his hands.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
"Where are this father and son right now?"
Su Ming took out a map, checked the direction, and looked surprised.
Why are they in Canghui City?
"What does Canghui City have to do with Tang San and them?"
Canghui Academy?
Shi Nian?
"Are these two really that fated?"
Su Ming didn't know why Tang Hao and Tang San went to Canghui City, but he instinctively felt that the father and son would inevitably run into Shi Nian there.
"Forget it, I'll wait for more information. I have the overall situation in view; their movements are completely within my sight. I'm not afraid of them trying any funny business."
Stopping his train of thought, Su Ming put away the map and continued flying intently.
Propelled by the Spirit Flying Device, his travel speed even surpassed that of a certain Titled Douluo. In just three days, he returned to the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
"Senior, I'm back."
Dugu Bo was cultivating with his eyes closed and didn't pay Su Ming any mind.
However, when Su Ming took out the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse, he still lifted his right eyelid and glanced curiously.
What treasure did this kid borrow the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse to collect?
Blue Silver Grass?
"What kind of garbage are you putting into my Hundred Treasure Purse?!"
Dugu Bo was furious.
Su Ming looked innocent.
"Senior, look carefully. This isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"No matter how extraordinary it is, it's still trashy Blue Silver Grass!"
Dugu Bo directly stood up, ran to Su Ming, and snatched the pouch back.
He opened the pouch and dumped the Blue Silver Grass inside out like trash.
Seeing this, Su Ming hurriedly caught his A Yin.
"Senior, take a closer look, feel it carefully."
When A Yin's main body was dumped out, a fresh life aura emerged.
Dugu Bo also realized that this Blue Silver Grass might not actually be trash.
"What kind of Blue Silver Grass is this?"
"The Blue Silver Emperor, the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass race. It's considered a top-tier bloodline elevated by the collective strength of the race," Su Ming explained. "I found this information from the Spirit Hall records my teacher accessed."
Zhu Jiuyang?
Although Dugu Bo had doubts, he didn't voice them.
If Zhu Jiuyang really went to the Spirit Hall to look for information, they certainly wouldn't stop him.
Moreover, the Zhu Family itself was a major clan, always bound to the Qian Family, intermarrying for generations, providing pure Sacred Flame genes for the Angel Martial Spirit. The information in their family archives was probably no worse than that of the Three Upper Sects.
Wait, if that's the case, why would the Zhu Family need to go to the Spirit Hall to look up information?
Is information on the Blue Silver Emperor that scarce?
Just as Dugu Bo grew suspicious, Su Ming's next words gave him the answer.
"The one in my hand is the Blue Silver Emperor. She was originally a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast who took human form and got together with Tang Hao. The great battle he had with the Spirit Hall back then was because of her."
Dugu Bo suddenly understood.
So it was for a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
No wonder he needed to check the Spirit Hall's records.
"Then how is she still alive now?"
Dugu Bo could tell that the A Yin in Su Ming's hand only had ten-thousand-year cultivation, hardly a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
"The ultimate mystery of Blue Silver Grass – 'No prairie fire can burn it utterly, the spring wind blows it back to life.' Even if killed, it leaves behind a seed. When this seed sprouts again, it becomes her second life."
Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in wonder.
Although Blue Silver Grass is trash, this ultimate mystery is indeed exaggerated.
It actually comes with a built-in resurrection.
Of course, this must be an ability only the Blue Silver Emperor possesses.
But it's still quite exaggerated.
"I'm about to break through to level 50 soon. I plan to use her for my fifth Spirit Ring. But right now, her cultivation is only at the ten-thousand-year level. I need to find a way to replenish her cultivation."
"Don't even think about it!"
A Yin was infuriated.
He was talking right in front of her about absorbing her Spirit Ring, and clearly had the idea of fattening her up before slaughter.
What did he take her, the esteemed emperor of the Blue Silver Grass race, for?
