Chapter 65: Chapter -65 Discovering the treasure of soul bone.
Chapter -65.
Chen Feng rubbed his chin thoughtfully, a spark of excitement dancing in his eyes.
He already had the trunk bone of a 40,0000-year-old Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, but the 50,000-year-old trunk bone of the Ice Cang Wolf King was just sitting there, not quite fitting into his plans. After giving it some serious thought, he decided to break down the Ice Cang Wolf King's trunk bone using the Yin-Yang Melting Furnace. This way, he could tap into some soul power and physical strength essence, which would really boost his physical abilities.
Right now, Chen Feng's body could handle a 23,000-year soul ring. But after absorbing the essence from the decomposition, he figured he could manage at least a 30,000-year soul ring! Plus, the soul power he'd gain could bump his levels up by one or two.
(Just to give you some context, Huo Yuhao was at a bit of a standstill at level thirty. He kept absorbing the left arm bone of a 70,000-year Ice Blue Scorpion and the right paw bone of a 1,000-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. After all that, he hit the peak of level thirty-two. When he merged with the Ice Emperor's trunk bone from the extreme north, his physical abilities skyrocketed, making him way tougher and able to handle a soul ring from a 3,000-year soul beast. When a soul master hits level thirty, their physical strength naturally gets a boost, roughly equivalent to an extra thousand years of endurance. Huo Yuhao's gains were impressive, but when he absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, he only managed to do so under some tricky conditions. The left arm bone from the Ice Blue Scorpion didn't boost his physical attributes as much as a trunk bone would, but it still added about 50,000 years of endurance capacity.)
With his mind made up, Chen Feng wasted no time. He was also curious to see if breaking down this 50,000-year-old soul bone would yield any surprises beyond just soul power and physical essence.
He glanced over at Ma Xiaotao, who was peacefully sleeping in the bedroom, and then moved to another room to sit down and meditate.
With a focused thought, the figure in the center of his Sea of Consciousness slowly opened its eyes. Chen Feng's soul took a quick look at the Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream, who were both snoozing away, before closing its eyes again.
Deep within his soul, a massive, ancient furnace, adorned with intricate patterns, began to glow softly as Chen Feng urged it on…
Inside the furnace, a piece of ice-blue transparent soul bone was rapidly melting in the intense flames.
These flames were generated by the furnace after Chen Feng infused it with his spiritual power, known as the Yin-Yang Creation Fire, which could refine just about anything.
Even with his spirit power being on par with a Soul Douluo, manipulating this flame was no easy feat.
Chen Feng knew that to fully harness this flame, his spiritual power would need to reach a level comparable to that of a Title Douluo.
After about fifteen minutes, Chen Feng had already used up quite a bit of his spiritual power, and the 50,000-year Ice Cang Wolf King trunk bone was finally refined by the Yin-Yang Melting Furnace.
At that moment, the furnace opened, revealing three small spheres the size of dragon eyes in Chen Feng's hand.
One was a red essence of physical strength, another was a white essence of soul power, and the last one was a blue ball radiating a chilling aura, the nature of which was still a mystery.
Last time, when Chen Feng used the Yin-Yang Melting Furnace to refine a 100-year soul bone, he ended up with two small balls, red and white. Now, he was eager to find out what this blue ball was all about.
Without hesitation, Chen Feng swallowed the white essence of soul power in one go.
As soon as the white ball hit his stomach, it transformed into a surge of rich soul power, flowing through his meridians and settling in his dantian.
An hour later, Chen Feng opened his eyes, feeling a rush of energy as his soul power jumped from thirty-seven to thirty-eight, making him halfway into level thirty-eight. He frowned for a moment but then relaxed, remembering how Huo Yuhao had absorbed two soul bones and a ten-thousand-year soul ring and only reached the peak of thirty-two.
Next, Chen Feng swallowed the red essence of physical strength.
This red essence worked wonders, reinforcing his limbs, bones, meridians, and internal organs…
His muscle and bone density increased, his tendons grew stronger, and his meridians became more flexible, allowing him to handle even more energy.
Since the trunk bone already gave a significant boost to a soul master's physique, Chen Feng estimated that he could now handle a 30,000-year soul ring instead of just 23,000.
Now, he turned his attention to the last small ball in his hand, which was still radiating that chilling aura.
After some careful exploration and testing, Chen Feng discovered that this blue ball contained a rich essence of ice attribute. If an ice attribute soul master absorbed it, their martial soul would get a serious upgrade, and their soul skills would be even colder than before. (In the original story, the 70,000-year-old Ice Blue Scorpion's left arm bone had a similar effect.)
Of course, this ice attribute essence wouldn't enhance Chen Feng's Ultimate Ice. Ordinary ice attributes are quite different from Ultimate Ice. To really boost the ice attribute of his Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion martial soul, he'd need something at the Ultimate Ice level.
As he held the ice attribute essence in his hand, a vision of a cold and elegant woman popped into Chen Feng's mind. While this essence wouldn't do much for him, it would be a treasure for Ling Luocheng. If she absorbed it, her ice elemental martial soul could reach temperatures of at least minus one hundred thirty degrees. (The original work mentions that Ling Luocheng's ice elemental martial soul could only hit around minus eighty degrees, while Huo Yuhao's Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion could easily reach minus two hundred degrees.)
The ice attribute essence from this 50,000-year-old Ice Wolf King's trunk bone was enough to significantly enhance any ordinary ice attribute soul master. Chen Feng decided to swallow the blue ice attribute ball whole, not to refine it, but to seal the essence within his body. This way, it would become even purer under the influence of his Ultimate Ice attribute.
When the time was right, and during their intimate moments, he would subtly transfer this ice attribute essence into Ling Luocheng's body. He planned to do it gradually, so she wouldn't suspect a thing. She would just think her martial soul was getting stronger thanks to Chen Feng's Ultimate Ice.
Having lived two lives, Chen Feng was wise enough not to just hand over this blue ice attribute ball to Ling Luocheng. It would be tough to explain where such pure ice attribute essence came from.
In fact, this would be his approach moving forward. Unless he became invincible one day, he wouldn't reveal anything about his special abilities. It's not that he was being overly cautious; it was just the smart way to keep progressing. A secret known by one person is a secret, but once two people know, it's no longer a secret.
