Dongfang Jing was worried that this was something that a powerful person had temporarily stored away.
Perhaps it is waiting for the right time to absorb it, or perhaps it is intended to be left to its descendants?
If that's the case, then why not store it in a soul tool? They're all powerful individuals; wouldn't it be safer to carry it with them?
Dongfang Jing couldn't understand it.
Therefore, he suspected that the soul bone might be bait, a trap to lure people into a trap.
Could it be that the real trap is that Blue Silver Grass?
Once you step into a certain area, the grass will instantly sprout countless vines that will suck the intruder's flesh and blood dry.
Dongfang Jing didn't believe that a soul bone could fall from the sky.
But when I think of Yao'er, if she absorbs this soul bone, her soul power and strength will increase dramatically!
Therefore, even if it really is a trap, Dongfang Jing is determined to walk into it!
Chapter 64 Retrieving bones from a lead box, digging up grass from a mound of earth!
Having made up his mind, Dongfang Jing leaned down and whispered the situation into his sister's ear.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yao's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg.
She was just saying it casually as a joke.
Who would have thought that there really was a cave hidden behind the waterfall, and that there were even soul bones inside!
But she quickly came to her senses, and a lot of concerns welled up in her heart.
To claim the soul bones as one's own is tantamount to theft and is not honorable.
If this happens, I will surely become mortal enemies with that mysterious expert!
But then she thought, if her brother could absorb this soul bone, his strength would surely increase greatly.
Thinking of this, her last bit of hesitation vanished.
The brother and sister exchanged a knowing look and simultaneously opened their arms.
Dongfang Jing picked up his younger sister, and the shattered mirrors in the air formed a staircase.
With a few swift leaps, he reached the middle of the waterfall.
With the help of his soul bone's keen perception, he noticed that a rock on the cliff behind the waterfall was slightly misaligned with its surroundings.
It was difficult to discern with the naked eye, but it couldn't fool him. Simply pressing down on this rock would open the cave entrance.
But he didn't need to force his way in.
He projected his mental energy outward, fixing the mirror image at the end of the cave, and then activated Mirror Travel!
Without a sound or a trace, the two were already inside the cave!
The cave was damp and dark inside.
Dongfang Yao took out a luminous stone from her storage soul guide.
A faint light appeared, illuminating the cave interior and the blue silver grass growing on the mound of earth.
Strangely, even though there was no wind in the cave, the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass were swaying gently.
"Huh? Is that person stupid, planting grass in a place like this?" Dongfang Yao couldn't help but exclaim.
As soon as the words were spoken, the Blue Silver Grass visibly trembled, as if startled by the sudden appearance of the two people.
This subtle movement naturally did not escape the eyes of Dongfang Jing's soul bone.
He went closer to examine it and found that the grass did indeed move on its own, and it rose and fell as if it were breathing.
Dongfang Jing said with some surprise, "This Blue Silver Grass... seems to be a soul beast!"
"Really! It looks quite different from the blue silver grass by the roadside. Look at the golden veins on its leaves, they're pretty!"
Dongfang Jing crouched down and carefully touched the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass.
The blades of grass trembled slightly, seemingly resisting, but not showing any aggression.
Purple light swirled in Dongfang Jing's eyes, and a wisp of spiritual energy probed into them.
“This grass has developed sentience,” he said, releasing his grip with a hint of surprise in his voice, “but its soul is extremely weak. To put it another way, it’s like someone who is critically injured and on the verge of death, slowly recovering through its self-healing abilities.”
Since this peculiar blue silver grass posed no threat, he turned his attention to his real target.
Activating the power of his eye-shaped soul bone, he accurately located the mechanism on the stone wall.
He wrapped his entire palm with the shattered mirror and pressed down, and a heavy black box fell to the ground.
Dongfang Jing reached out to take it, but suddenly pulled his arms away, almost losing his grip on the black box.
It's quite heavy, probably weighing around 200 pounds.
"Is it all made of lead?" Dongfang Jing frowned. Wasn't the cave master afraid of lead poisoning?
However, since the other party dared to hide a soul bone here, he wouldn't be surprised by any other bizarre actions they might take.
The lead box wasn't locked, so he simply opened the lid.
A gentle yet powerful aura instantly spread out!
This is completely different from the violent energy I experienced when absorbing the eye bone before.
Inside the box lay a blue-gold right leg bone, crystal clear, sparkling with starlight, and brimming with an astonishingly rich life force!
"Brother, it's wrapped around my hand," Dongfang Yao suddenly whispered.
The blue silver grass suddenly stretched out a thin branch, gently wrapping around her finger, even with a slight pull.
Dongfang Jing's sharp gaze swept back and forth between the soul bone and the blue silver grass. The two were so similar in color and aura, and this grass possessed consciousness and a soul.
He had a vague guess in his mind.
This soul bone most likely came from this Blue Silver Grass!
And since this soul bone exudes such a rich life force, the cultivation level of this Blue Silver Grass must have been over ten thousand years! Or even a hundred thousand years old Blue Silver Grass!
The right leg bone of a 100,000-year-old soul beast! Hidden in a cave? Has the cave's owner gone mad?
Risk and opportunity were weighed in Dongfang Jing's mind in an instant.
"Yao'er, let's go!" He made a quick decision, putting the soul bone into his soul tool and returning the lead box to its original place.
"The little grass is still holding me."
Dongfang Jing glanced at it, then swiftly took out a jade container specifically for storing herbs, something he used when he was learning about herbs at the pharmacy.
"Take it with you, just in case."
The first soul skill is activated, and the mirror blade makes a precise cut.
Along with the mound of earth and the stones, the entire Blue Silver Grass was transplanted intact into the container and placed in my sister's hand.
He picked up Dongfang Yao, released his spiritual power, and instantly activated the Mirror Shuttle to leave the cave.
As soon as he emerged from the waterfall, he casually packed up his tent and repeatedly used Mirror Travel to retreat far away from the pool area.
Only when he felt safe enough did he gather his soul power to create another vehicle and speed away with his sister.
On the way, Dongfang Jing shared his thoughts.
Dongfang Yao looked down at the Blue Silver Grass in the vessel and asked, "Little Grass, are you really a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
Blue Silver Grass did not respond.
Dongfang Jing stopped the car, turned his head to look at its condition, and said, "Its soul is too weak. Interacting with you just now has probably exhausted all its energy, and it has fallen into a deep sleep."
The little girl nodded knowingly, then asked, "Brother, why did you bring it with you? What if it regains its cultivation? Wouldn't we be in big trouble?"
"It saw what we looked like. If we leave it in the cave, and that mysterious powerful figure returns with a special method to communicate with it, then we will truly be in trouble!"
"We could also just kill it, which would certainly solve everything, but..."
Dongfang Jing paused, a hint of surprise in his voice: "The reason I decided to take it is related to a new ability of my Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors!"
He didn't elaborate further; the most urgent task was to find a completely safe place to settle down.
The mountain bike sped along the rugged road until it was completely dark, and only then did the outline of a village appear faintly in the distance.
At the village entrance, an elderly man, dressed neatly and with his hair combed meticulously, was preparing to return to the village.
Suddenly, when he saw the strange vehicle and the young boy and girl inside, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Especially when the boy waved his hand and the vehicle disappeared, he immediately realized the other party's identity and his attitude became respectful.
"Greetings, esteemed Soul Master." The old man bowed slightly. "I am Jack, the village chief of this village."
"Hello, Village Chief." Dongfang Jing said in a calm tone, taking out a silver soul coin from his soul tool. "My brother and I would like to borrow a clean house to stay temporarily. We may stay for one night or a few more days."
Seeing the other party's humble attitude and willingness to pay, Old Jack immediately smiled warmly: "Of course, please follow me, Soul Master."
Chapter 65 Mirror Spring
Old Jack stepped aside to lead the way.
He then proudly introduced, "A hundred years ago, a Soul Saint emerged from this village, which is why the village's name was changed to Holy Soul Village!"
"Holy Soul Village?"
As Dongfang Jing followed, he subtly surveyed his surroundings and casually asked, "Are there any other Soul Masters in the village now?"
This was his biggest concern, since the place wasn't too far from the cave.
Perhaps that mysterious expert lives in this village.
If that's the case, he must leave immediately with his sister.
Old Jack shook his head, his expression somewhat gloomy: "That's it. The people in our village all have useless martial spirits; they have no soul power."
But he quickly perked up and started talking: "Thank goodness! This year, one of the children in our village who awakened has innate full soul power! I, the old man, personally escorted him to the Soul Master Academy in the city to register!"
Old Jack sighed, his tone filled with pity: "That child has a hard life. He's never seen his mother, and his father is a drunkard who's always wasting his life. He didn't even bother to see his son off when he went to school in the city! I came back to talk to him, but he's vanished without a trace! Sigh, Tang San has been sensible since he was little, it's a pity his spirit is Blue Silver Grass, a useless spirit. But at least he has innate full spirit power, he can become a spirit master, things will get better!"
Old Jack kept talking, and seeing that Dongfang Jing was listening attentively, he asked curiously, "I see that you are a Soul Master at such a young age, and your sister looks about the same age as Xiao San. Why didn't she go to the academy?"
