Chapter 69 Ancient Rong, the Great Investor of Soul Bones
Gu Rong watched as Gu Xuan's eyes twitched violently. He truly was his grandson; his ruthlessness was exactly the same as his own.
"That's good. It must have been unpleasant to keep this anger inside. Now that you've personally taught Ning Rongrong a lesson, you should feel a bit better."
Gu Rong patted Gu Xuan on the shoulder and said.
He knew that Gu Xuan had been holding a grudge all along.
He was furious that Ning Fengzhi didn't punish Ning Rongrong, and that he and Chen Xin did nothing, letting someone who almost killed him go unpunished without even a proper punishment.
Now that's settled, Gu Xuan took direct action to vent his anger.
You'll feel better once you've vented your anger, right?
"No, the harm she caused me won't disappear just because I retaliated. The only reason I didn't kill her this time was because I was in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
A murderous intent surged in Gu Xuan's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"By the way, Grandpa, did you gain anything from your trip?"
Gu Xuan looked at Gu Rong and asked curiously.
You should know that Gu Rong has been away for almost half a month this time.
Under the influence of the talisman's power, he's almost as energetic as a husky. In just a few days, he should be able to search through the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
Looking at Gu Xuan's curious eyes and the gazes cast by Dugu Bo and the others, Gu Rong's lips curled up slightly, and his body straightened up a bit.
"Haha, none of that matters."
Gu Rong stood ramrod straight, his beard trembling slightly, and instead of directly answering Gu Xuan's question, he made a point of arguing.
He then looked at Ye Xinlan and Ye Lengleng.
"Young lady, I wasn't lying to you, was I? You did that favor without any regrets."
Gu Rong had just witnessed that Ye Xinlan now needed his Xuan'er's approval before doing anything, which clearly showed that she had completely trusted Gu Xuan.
"Young Master's talent is exceptional. It is truly an honor for our Ye family to have him join our tutelage at this time."
Ye Xinlan solemnly bowed to the ancient banyan tree and gave a dignified reply.
In the past, they would have complained about Gu Rong, after all, who would thank someone who forcibly found them an ancestor?
But it is different now.
She was now absolutely certain that Gu Xuan possessed the potential to become the strongest person on the Douluo Continent.
Joining Gu Xuan's team when he needed it most was indeed the best time.
Gu Rong essentially led her to buy a stock that was bound to skyrocket.
However, she still felt a little resentful. After all, she hadn't gotten this for nothing; she had contributed her skills as equity. How could it be considered a favor being repaid?
In her view, since she helped Gu Xuan cultivate, she also contributed to Gu Xuan's growth. The two of them were completely complementing each other.
But after thinking about it, she decided to let it go. After all, he was Gu Xuan's grandfather, her current emperor emeritus. If he wanted to settle the debt of gratitude, then so be it.
Ye Xinlan sighed inwardly and thought to herself.
After all, it's a favor from a Title Douluo, which is still very valuable at this stage.
"Don't say I cheated you out of a favor, Xuan'er, show her."
Gu Rong, of course, noticed the hint of disappointment in Ye Xinlan's eyes.
He was so proud of himself that he wouldn't stoop to taking advantage of Ye Xinlan for such a small favor.
Gu Xuan didn't speak, but stared blankly at Gu Rong, his eyes filled with resentment.
I asked you a question and you didn't answer. Now you want me to prove it to you?
What sweet dreams are you having?
"Hey, hey, I was just kidding. Why are you so easily teased now?"
Gu Rong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly started reaching into his pocket.
With each movement of Gu Rong, he took out one soul bone after another.
"Come on, help me hold these."
Gu Rong's lips curled up slightly as he took the bag and had several people help him carry it, giving off a rather ostentatious vibe.
Dugu Bo and the others were also shocked by Gu Rong's actions.
Isn't it said that the drop rate of soul bones is very low? Why is he able to produce so many soul bones?
Thinking back on the days since Gu Rong left, everyone subconsciously swallowed.
Could it be that he went to the Star Dou Great Forest to slaughter soul beasts?
Looking at the soul bones in his hand, he realized that they were all of excellent quality.
Judging from the aura emanating from it, it was definitely produced by a top-tier soul beast.
Won't his actions cause a riot among the soul beasts?
Ye Xinlan stared blankly at Gu Rong.
Although Gu Rong is a Super Douluo, if a Soul Beast rampage occurs in the Star Dou Great Forest, even a Super Douluo would have difficulty escaping, right?
What a madman!
"Sigh, fire-attribute dragon-type soul beasts are really too few and too hard to find. In the past half month, I've only found fifty soul beasts that meet the age requirement, and the soul bones that dropped are not many either. Only ten soul bones dropped from fifty beasts, and some of the soul bones even overlapped in position."
Gu Rong said, quite like Versailles.
In order to find a soul bone for Gu Xuan, he searched through almost half of the Star Dou Great Forest.
There's no way around it; dragon-type soul beasts are rare, and they're fire-attribute, usually found either in volcanoes or underground lava caves.
This greatly impacted his search.
If these soul beasts weren't so cunning, half a month would have been enough for him to explore the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
He primarily hunted dragon-type soul beasts that were over 50,000 years old, whose combat power was comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Even the seemingly endless power of the ancient banyan tree could only lead to its demise in the Northwest.
Furthermore, in order to extract soul bones from soul beasts, he subjected them to inhumane torture.
This is why it took up some of his time.
However, the advantage is that the drop rate of Soul Bones has increased significantly, from one in ten thousand to one in five.
Of course, this is also one of the reasons why higher-age soul beasts are more likely to drop soul bones.
During this time, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest did riot, but Gu Rong was cunning and never stayed in one area for too long. He killed one here and one there, so the rioting soul beasts couldn't find him at all.
The nearby gathering place of spirit beasts is in trouble, but do these ancient banyan trees care?
They don't even consider it a threat!
Among the eleven fire-attribute dragon soul bones, there are three right arm bones, one left arm bone, three left leg bones, and four right leg bones.
It was a torso bone and a skull that hadn't burst out.
The oldest soul bone among them is the left arm bone, which is a full 90,000 years old.
Even the worst ones have reached the point of 60,000 years.
Just by holding it in their hands, everyone could sense the strong fluctuations of soul power.
Looking at so many soul bones, even though their attributes didn't match, Dugu Bo couldn't help but swallow hard.
That's incredibly extravagant.
Ye Lengleng and Dugu Yan were completely dumbfounded. When had they ever seen such a shocking scene?
He was even holding one in each hand, completely dumbfounded.
Everyone except Gu Xuan held their breath and subconsciously stopped circulating their soul power, fearing that they might accidentally trigger the soul bone absorption ritual.
"It's a pity that the head and torso bones are really hard to obtain, otherwise you could absorb the whole set of soul bones right now."
"It's ancient banyan trees," Gu Rong said with a sigh.
But in Dugu Bo's eyes, this was nothing short of Versailles, a blatant display of power.
Actually, the torso bones are okay, but the Rathalos skull is too hard to get, since Rathalos are generally not very smart.
"good."
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes. Gu Rong was quite efficient; he had almost collected all of Gu Xuan's soul bones in half a month, and even had some left over.
"Of course!"
Gu Rong said smugly, after all, who else but him could freely kill soul beasts and extract soul bones in the Star Dou Great Forest full of soul beasts?
And his gains didn't stop there.
