Chapter 144: Ground Mole Falls, Blue Lightning Eats Its Fill
"It is my intention..."
Yu Xiaogang had been talking for a long time, but most of it fell on deaf ears as far as Bibi Dong was concerned.
Meeting Yu Xiaogang's earnest gaze, Bibi Dong gripped the Spirit Bone in her hand tightly.
"Then I will accept it."
Her voice was very soft, so soft that Yu Xiaogang almost didn't hear it.
Seeing that Bibi Dong had accepted the Spirit Bone, Yu Xiaogang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bibi Dong was a super Genius, and she was also a Disciple of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, a future Holy Maiden, and possibly even a future Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Such a person could have a conflict with someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, but she could not have a fixed negative view of the Sect itself.
Because once a person of such status and position harbored resentment, it would affect a series of future matters between the two factions.
Today, perhaps a single Spirit Bone was enough to resolve this conflict.
But if he didn't do this, by the time Bibi Dong became the Holy Maiden in the future, it would be wishful thinking to try and use a Spirit Bone to resolve it.
Yu Yuanzhen, standing to the side, watched his son's actions with his mouth agape.
After taking the Spirit Bone, Bibi Dong turned around, her back to Yu Xiaogang; although he couldn't see her expression, her flushed ears said it all.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang looked calm, seemingly unsurprised by Bibi Dong's reaction.
In other words, his son likely thought this was just a normal apology, completely devoid of any other emotions.
Yet, Bibi Dong did not think so.
"Good grief, what is this?"
"Should I say my son is naturally dense, or that Bibi Dong is too easily moved?"
Honestly, Yu Yuanzhen really hadn't expected his son and Bibi Dong's interactions to be like this.
Unaware that his father was looking at him with a strange gaze, Yu Xiaogang, having resolved the matter with Bibi Dong, turned his attention to the storage soul tool.
Looking at the unremarkable storage soul tool now, Yu Xiaogang felt quite conflicted.
Who could have imagined that this small storage item contained wealth that could shock the entire Douluo Continent?
After taking out the Spirit Bone, there were still some things left inside, including some books and the like.
This reminded Yu Xiaogang of the diary he had obtained after killing the Spirit Saint, so he took the books out.
"This is... a journal."
Yu Xiaogang flipped through the contents of the journal and immediately understood that it was a record of a Spirit Master's own Cultivate process.
This was something many Spirit Masters did while they Cultivate.
A good memory is not as reliable as a bad pen; a Spirit Master's Cultivate journey often spans decades.
Too many things can happen in those decades, so many Spirit Masters record their experiences during this process.
Whether it is to use their experience to teach their descendants after achieving success.
Or in the future, when their Rank gets stuck and they can no longer improve, they can look back at their past Cultivate process to find the problem.
These are all worth recording.
Like Yu Xiaogang, although he was currently only a Spirit Elder, he had already recorded several notebooks of his own Cultivate experience.
Besides that, there was the occasional flash of inspiration in his mind.
This was even more precious.
Every time a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, Yu Xiaogang would temporarily put down everything he was doing, take out a notebook from his storage soul tool, and record that flash of inspiration.
Although some inspirations seemed abstract, regardless of the content, it was always right to write them down!
Taking out the journal, Yu Xiaogang began to browse through it, and a moment later, he understood why there were so many Spirit Bones in this spirit tool.
The owner of this spirit tool was a Spirit Master of commoner origin, and their Spirit was a Ground Mole.
When they came to the Sunset Forest to add a new spirit ring, they encountered an Earth Attribute Spirit Beast that was suitable for them.
However, that Earth Attribute Spirit Beast had a relatively formidable combat power.
So, the Ground Mole Spirit Master dug a tunnel, found the Spirit Beast's lair, and prepared to launch a sneak attack.
However, after arriving at the Spirit Beast's lair, the Ground Mole Spirit Master was stunned.
Spirit Bones, all kinds of Spirit Bones, covered the Spirit Beast's nest.
Through careful observation, the Ground Mole Spirit Master understood that this Spirit Beast was extremely adept at digging tunnels.
And these Spirit Bones were all spoils of war that it had harvested from the soil while digging tunnels.
It is well known that in the Soul Beast Forest, Spirit Beasts are dying every single moment.
With such a large number accumulating, the Spirit Bones scattered everywhere were not few at all.
Relying on its ability to travel through the earth, that Spirit Beast collected the Spirit Bones scattered in various places, which created the current scene.
After learning the specific situation, the Ground Mole Spirit Master stole a few Spirit Bones, found a place to refine them, and then returned to the cave to kill the Spirit Beast.
After completing all this, the Ground Mole Spirit Master did not immediately leave the Sunset Forest.
Because he prepared to imitate that Spirit Beast.
"It's just digging tunnels, who wouldn't know how to do that?"
So later, the Ground Mole Spirit Master sold a few Millennial Spirit Bones, bought a pile of supplies, and built a mimetic Cultivate environment for himself underground.
He would meditate and Cultivate on normal days, and when he had free time, he would dig tunnels to search for Spirit Bones buried in the soil throughout the Sunset Forest.
And believe it or not, he actually managed to dig up a few Spirit Bones.
And these successful examples made the Ground Mole Spirit Master even greedier; he wanted to get more Spirit Bones.
Even the Sunset Forest could no longer satisfy him; he planned to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to dig tunnels and find Spirit Bones when his strength grew stronger.
It's just that there were no records about the Star Dou Great Forest, and the journal even felt like it had come to an abrupt end.
Regarding this abrupt end, Yu Xiaogang didn't even need to think to guess that the other party definitely wouldn't have had a good ending.
A Soul Beast Forest, especially one like this with many Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, is far more dangerous than ordinary people imagine.
"Do you think it's safe underground?"
"You never know when you might dig into the lair of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast that also lives underground."
"And once you encounter such a situation, it's almost certain death."
After finishing the journal, although Yu Xiaogang didn't know where the Spirit Master's remains were.
In his heart, he still offered his most sincere gratitude to that Spirit Master.
Thanking him for everything he had contributed to his Sect.
