As they walked, they kept a watchful eye on their surroundings, in case there were any traps or obstacles.
Fortunately, Tang Hao didn't seem to have such a ulterior motive, or perhaps he was confident that no one could find this place, so Lin Chuan easily entered the depths of the cave.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared before my eyes.
Lin Chuan flicked his hand to extinguish the flame in his hand and stepped into the stone chamber.
The stone chamber was not large, estimated to be only about ten square meters at most. The interior was empty and extremely simple, with only the light coming from the stone wall at the top. Directly below, there was a mound of earth planted with blue silver grass.
This blue silver grass was noticeably longer than ordinary grass, and its leaves had fine golden veins.
"Is this the Blue Silver Emperor? It's so beautiful!"
This was the first time Lin Chuan had ever seen such a peculiar blue silver grass.
However, judging from the current situation, Ah Yin does not seem to have regained consciousness. In this dark and sunless place, without much sunlight and sufficient soul power, her growth rate is quite slow.
I have no idea what Tang Hao was thinking, or if people who use hammers are just crazy.
Lin Chuan slowly shook his head, glanced around briefly, then withdrew his gaze from the Blue Silver Emperor and began searching the rock wall above him.
"Um?!"
A long, black box was stuck in the crevice of the rock.
Lin Chuan leaped into the air, his right hand swiftly reaching out. By the time he landed, the long box was already in his hand.
He casually opened a crack, and an exceptionally powerful aura surged out from it, as if the surrounding space had instantly frozen.
In the center of the black box lies a right leg bone.
Its entire body is blue-gold, crystal clear, and seems to have twinkling starlight inside. At the same time, a life aura that Lin Chuan is very familiar with is rushing towards him.
It's as if... this soul bone is alive.
Looking at the perfectly intact right leg bone before him, Lin Chuan's eyes burned with fervor.
"As expected of a soul bone dropped by a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it is indeed more powerful than any soul bone I have ever seen before."
This trip was the right one!
Lin Chuan took a deep breath, slowly closed the box, and stuffed the entire box into the storage soul tool.
Although Tang Hao is dead, no one knows whether he told anyone else about this place, so it's better to take it away to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
And then there's the Blue Silver Emperor right in front of us!
Should we kill them or spare their lives?
If plant-type soul beasts can regrow after death and recover their cultivation without needing soul rings or soul bones, wouldn't that make them perpetual motion machines?
Lin Chuan's eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly shook his head.
Even with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to boost its growth rate, by the time this Blue Silver Emperor becomes a 100,000-year-old soul beast again, he will probably have already become a god.
"Then kill them?"
Lin Chuan murmured softly, then gently shook his head.
It was a Blue Silver Emperor plant after all; pulling it out would be such a waste.
"Wait!" Lin Chuan suddenly thought of something.
Among the weapon-refining techniques he acquired, there was a record of a special type of magical artifact. By integrating a beast's soul into the artifact and then nurturing it through its owner, there was a chance that the artifact could develop consciousness, thus giving birth to a weapon spirit.
Magical artifacts possessing spirits are not only more powerful than ordinary magical artifacts, but also consume less energy.
"Is it possible for me to refine the Blue Silver Emperor in front of me, along with its soul bone, and then create a magical artifact with a spirit?"
The thought popped into Lin Chuan's mind, and he was immediately quite tempted.
It's not impossible.
Animal-type soul beasts might not work, since their souls are contained within their soul rings. However, plant-type soul beasts are different; in the original story, Ah Yin did not need soul rings or soul bones when she was resurrected.
"We can give it a try; we won't lose anything anyway."
Rather than just tearing it off, it's better to make full use of it.
As for whether Ah Yin, who has become a spirit after the successful refining, will regain consciousness, or whether she will rebel after regaining consciousness, there is no need to worry about that.
As long as Lin Chuan's essence blood is incorporated during the refining process, the magical artifact will be under his control, and even if a spirit is born, it will not be able to disobey.
Rather, Lin Chuan hoped that A Yin could regain her memories.
When the time comes to fight Tang San, I will take it out again. I wonder what Tang San will think when he sees his mother being controlled by the enemy and attacking him.
Hiss... What?! A minotaur in front of you?!
Lin Chuan immediately felt something was wrong with him, and quickly shook his head to banish the strange thought from his mind.
"Then give it a try!"
He stepped over to the Blue Silver Emperor, dug it up along with the soil, and planted it in a jade bottle. At least in the short term, there was no need to worry about the Blue Silver Emperor dying.
"It's done!"
After checking the cave again to make sure nothing was missed, Lin Chuan turned and left.
After passing the waterfall, Lin Chuan left Holy Soul Village without stopping.
About a week later, Tianshui City came into view.
"Finally back!"
Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of entering Tianshui City, he returned directly to Tianshui Academy and stood at the academy gate. Nothing around him had changed.
Clearly, neither the Clear Sky Sect nor the Spirit Hall chose to cause trouble.
The former is still under lockdown, so sneaking down the mountain is fine, but if they really make a big show of it and alert the Spirit Hall, that would be terrible.
As for the Spirit Hall, it is still accumulating strength. Even though its ambitions are growing, it will not take action until Bibi Dong's divine trial is over.
Taking action against Tianshui Academy now would only alert them.
Lin Chuan had just approached the forest behind the academy when he was detected by several auras.
Dugu Bo was the first to arrive. Upon seeing that Lin Chuan was unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Lin boy, you're finally back."
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Dugu."
Lin Chuan smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Seemingly sensing something, Dugu Bo spoke softly, "You seem to be in a good mood. Did you accomplish your task?"
Lin Chuan chuckled softly, but did not respond.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo stopped asking questions.
"Xiao Chuan!" Several familiar voices rang out, and Shui Lanxin appeared one after another with a group of girls. Upon seeing Lin Chuan, they all showed bright smiles.
"Long time no see, Dean, and everyone else, I'm sorry to have worried you!"
Shui Lanxin gently shook her head, "It's good that you're back."
"Has anything happened at the academy lately?" After a brief greeting, Lin Chuan asked casually.
Shui Lanxin shook her head again, "No, the Spirit Hall hasn't made any moves. It's just that we don't know if they're secretly plotting something or if they've really given up."
"Giving up is not the case. The Spirit Hall suffered such a huge loss this time, they will definitely get their revenge."
Dugu Bo nodded, "I agree with what young Lin said. Since the Spirit Hall dared to intercept and kill during the competition, and even openly take action after the competition, this is obviously abnormal. They no longer hide their ambition. I'm afraid it won't be long before the whole continent is in chaos."
Upon hearing this, Shui Lanxin immediately looked worried.
Both Tianshui Academy and the Shui family have always been targets of the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire. However, unlike Thunder Academy, Tianshui Academy is backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of the three upper sects and has not yet sided with any side. It can only stick together with Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy for mutual support.
However, this is clearly not a long-term solution. If the Spirit Hall really breaks out into war with the two great empires, the three academies will certainly not be able to remain unaffected.
"Forget it, things will work themselves out. We'll see what happens!"
Shui Lanxin shook her head, no longer wanting to think about these troubling matters.
"By the way, Xiao Chuan, the Heavenly Dou Empire has sent people. It is said that the Crown Prince wants to invite you to Heavenly Dou City, and Emperor Xue Ye wants to see us."
"oh?!"
Lin Chuan immediately raised an eyebrow.
Chapter 136 The Generous Goddess of Life
The Snow Night Emperor wants to see me?
Did they hear about everything that happened in the Elite Tournament and intend to win over Tianshui Academy?
"I understand. Let's set off for Tiandou City in a couple of days!"
Lin Chuan responded softly.
They couldn't very well refuse the personal invitation from the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, especially since they would be staying within the empire's borders for the time being.
Shui Lanxin nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the group of girls, and she smiled sweetly.
