It has been four days since leaving the mysterious island. Hercules has recovered from the poisoning state. He sorted out the harvest from the Black Coral Pirate Ship, wrote it on a piece of paper and gave it to Saga.
"Your Highness, please take a look."
Saga glanced through it casually and pointed to the five most precious things on it, "Except for these five, you can keep the others."
Among the five items, only one piece of ten thousand year old whale glue is useful to him, and the other four are worth more than 500,000 gold soul coins, but he can't use them.
Ordinary treasures are meaningless to him. Even though the Black Coral Pirates are very famous, they don’t have many good things in their collection.
After all, they were pirates, not aristocrats. If they really had something particularly good, they wouldn't have become pirates.
Hercules' face lit up with joy and he thanked Saga repeatedly.
These things are nothing in Saga's eyes, but they are a great gain for him!
Saga glanced at Hercules and said, "The information you provided is correct. There is a 100,000-year-old soul beast on the island. What does it want?"
He is not a person who does not know how to reward and punish. He will naturally reward his subordinates when they make contributions. Otherwise, his subordinates will not be willing to work for him.
Hercules shook his head hastily, "Your Highness has given me more than enough. If you give me more, I will feel ashamed to accept it."
"Go down." Saga waved his hand. Hercules was a smart man and knew the limits well. There was no need to say any extra polite words.
It took Saga five days to fuse the golden armor. Perhaps because it was an external soul bone, the improvement in soul power was not obvious, and the soul power level remained at level 38.
Yue Ling took a shorter time to absorb the Acacia Heartbreak Red, completing it in four days, and her soul power level increased from level ninety-two to level ninety-three.
It seems that Acacia Heartbreak Red does not bring much improvement to Yue Ling, but in fact, part of the medicinal power of Acacia Heartbreak Red is hidden in the body, which accelerates Yue Ling's cultivation. Within a few years, Yue Ling will be able to reach level 95, and will not encounter a bottleneck until level 98.
In the next few days, Saga conducted many inner elixir experiments and found out that the inner elixir of auspicious beasts can increase the probability of producing soul bones, but it does not guarantee the production of soul bones!
Taking a ten thousand year soul beast as an example, after a ten thousand year soul beast eats the inner elixir of a auspicious beast, the probability of producing soul bones is about 5%, and for a twenty thousand year soul beast it is about 7%!
For every 10,000 years the period increases, the probability of output increases by 2%.
Of course, this is an approximate number inferred by Saga. The probability value will definitely fluctuate, but the difference will not be too big.
After completing the experiment, Saga will no longer feed the auspicious beast's inner elixir to the soul beast easily. Each time it is used, the energy in the auspicious beast's inner elixir will be less. He still has subsequent experiments and plans, and cannot waste all the energy on producing soul bones.
Unless you encounter an exceptionally good soul beast, such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear or the Titan Giant Ape, which have a chance of producing extremely high-quality soul bones, you will use the auspicious beast's inner elixir.
The inner alchemy experiment produced nine soul bones. Two high-quality soul bones were picked up by Golden Crocodile Douluo. Saga gave Yue Ling three soul bones that matched her, and the remaining four soul bones were collected by Saga.
Including the original three soul bones, Saga has a total of seven ownerless soul bones.
Saga turned the inner elixir of the auspicious beast in his hand, "The only one who can absorb this inner elixir without getting hurt is probably a living auspicious beast of the emperor. Unfortunately, there are no auspicious beasts of the emperor in this era."
"I have lived for nearly two hundred years, and I have never seen an imperial auspicious beast. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known about it." Golden Crocodile Douluo sat down on the chair with a bold move, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Yue Ling asked curiously: "Your Highness, you said that the emperor's auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion, is the carrier of fate. No soul beast will harm it. Soul beasts that are regarded as food by the three-eyed golden lion can only flee.
What if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion meets the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? One is the auspicious beast of the emperor, and the other is the incarnation of the evil god. Who will give in? "
"I don't know either. As far as I know, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were never born in the same era, so neither side can touch the other."
The number of Dark Demon Evil God Tigers is no more than that of the Emperor's auspicious beasts. After all, they are the incarnations of the Evil God. If the Evil God does not descend, the Dark Demon Evil God Tigers will not be born.
Suddenly, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed drastically, "I feel a breath that is not weaker than mine nearby, it seems to be a soul beast."
"Old man, don't release your martial spirit yet. Wait until the other party intends to attack. Its target may not be us." Saga said in a deep voice.
There are not many powerful beings on the sea that can make Golden Crocodile Douluo feel a sense of crisis. If it comes to soul beasts, it is almost certainly the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"There are such terrifying soul beasts in the sea!" Yue Ling exclaimed.
She also sensed the overwhelming aura of soul power, as if the other party was the sea itself. The soul power was vast and boundless, enough to make even the Titled Douluo feel terrified!
"Jiaer, do you know this soul beast?" Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Saga.
"Well, the knowledge that the Angel God left me mentioned that there is a million-year-old deep-sea demon whale king in the depths of the sea. Its strength on the sea is even stronger than that of the ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo!" Saga said in a deep voice.
Yue Ling was shocked. "Ah? After 100,000 years, soul beasts can only live for a thousand years at most?"
"Who told you that?"
"That's what the book says."
Snapped!
Saga tapped Yue Ling's head and said, "After you return and are appointed as an elder of the Spirit Hall, go to the Library with me to read more books. Some of the knowledge circulating outside is unverified misinformation. A lot of it is just speculation by scholars and is full of loopholes."
Yue Ling's words reminded him of Tang Hao. After Xiao Wu was discovered to be a hundred thousand year old soul beast, Tang Hao also said the same thing to Tang San.
The lie that a hundred thousand year old soul beast can only live for a thousand years without transforming has deceived many people. Even Tang Hao, one of the twin stars of the Haotian Sect, was deceived. You can imagine how many people believe this lie.
The reason why this lie has not been exposed for many years is very simple. There are too few hundred thousand year soul beasts, and it is difficult for scholars to see a hundred thousand year soul beast, so some theories can only be speculated.
Two hours later, the Hercules safely sailed out of the territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Saga found Hercules and asked him to remember the coordinates and reminded Hercules not to pass by here in the future.
For a moment, he wanted to ask Golden Crocodile Douluo to come forward and take him to see the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King and trick the Demon Whale King, but in the blink of an eye he gave up this idea.
It was too dangerous, and he felt that the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King was not so easy to fool.
Saga stood at the stern, looking at the sea behind him, which seemed calm but actually concealed a huge crisis. "One day, sooner or later, I will come again."
If the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King was as naive as the Snow Queen, he would definitely try to deceive the Demon Whale King!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King accumulated strength by devouring sea soul beasts and quickly reached a million years and survived nine disasters. It was brutal by nature, and I was afraid that the Demon Whale King would not be able to resist taking action before he even opened his mouth to deceive.
Saga touched his chin. Perhaps he should find an opportunity to take the old man to the Far North. Among the hundred thousand year soul beasts, Xiao Wu was probably the only one who was more naive than Xue Di.
It is considered a powerful soul beast with a high success rate of deceiving people.
A month has passed in a flash
Wuhun City
Saga did not take a detour to the Yin-Yang Eyes to pick up Qingxin and the other person, but went straight back to the palace.
As soon as he came back, the captain of the guard found him and said he had something to report.
A few minutes later, after listening to the report from the captain of the guard, Saga's mouth corners slightly raised.
"How many times did you hit Yu Xiaogang with a club?"
"Three times! Every time he had just reconnected his bones, I would bring my brothers to help him break them. He has been limping for almost two months! In recent days, he has not gone to the city to find a healing soul master. It is suspected that he is short of money and has no gold soul coins for treatment." The captain of the guard said truthfully.
"Well done, your salary this month will be doubled." Saga said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The captain of the guard took out the token and presented it with both hands, "Your Highness, this is the elder's token that belonged to Yu Xiaogang. I haven't returned it yet."
Saga glanced at the token but didn't recognize whose elder token it belonged to.
When Bibi Dong gave Yu Xiaogang the token, she was still a saint, not the Pope who was above everyone else, and she had no right to give others the elder token casually.
This token most likely belongs to an elder, and was given by Bibi Dong to Yu Xiaogang.
dong dong~
knock on the door
"Come in." Saga said lightly.
A guard walked five meters away from Saga, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Pope invites you."
Saga laughed, "You really can't wait. Go back and tell the Pope that I need to rest after the long journey. When I have rested enough, I will consider meeting him again."
The guard said yes and left the palace.
The captain of the guard who had previously reported to Saga also tactfully left the palace.
The atmosphere instantly quieted down. In the dim space, Saga leaned on the throne, turning the auspicious beast's inner elixir in his hand, "Let me see how long you can endure."
Chapter 69 Hu Liena's Doubts
Inside the Papal Palace
When Bibi Dong learned that Saga rejected her invitation, her face remained expressionless, with a hint of displeasure flashing across her eyes.
"What were his exact words?"
The knight below repeated Saga's words word for word.
Hu Liena, who was standing on Bibi Dong's left, frowned slightly and put her hands on her waist. "He is too arrogant! He even dared to refuse the teacher's invitation!"
"Nana." Bibi Dong said.
"Teacher, do you want me to invite him?"
"No, go and bring Yu Xiaogang here. He should be in the library."
Hu Liena tilted her head, her mind full of question marks, and she was very confused about Bibi Dong's intention.
In recent days, she also heard that a strange man came to the Spirit Hall headquarters. He walked with a limp and liked to stare blankly in the library, staying there for the whole day.
It is rumored that he has a relationship with the Pope and he still has the elder order given to him by the Pope.
Hu Liena naturally didn't believe the rumors at all. As the teacher's disciple, the teacher sometimes even treated her as his daughter, but she didn't even receive the elder's order from the teacher!
For this reason, she also punished more than a dozen people who spread "rumors"!
Hu Liena opened her mouth and wanted to ask Bibi Dong, but due to Bibi Dong's dignity, she did not ask. She just answered yes and left the Pope's Palace.
On the way, an idea came to Hu Liena's mind.
Are the rumors true?
impossible!
Hu Liena kept shaking her head, as if trying to shake the idea out of her head.
After arriving at the library, she easily found Yu Xiaogang. He was holding a book about the strength of martial spirits. From the outside, it seemed that he was studying, but when she got closer, she realized that he was asleep.
"The Pope has ordered you to go to the Pope's Palace." Hu Liena said in a cold tone.
For some reason, the more she looked at Yu Xiaogang, the more disgusted she felt. After looking at him for a long time, she wanted to punch Yu Xiaogang to death.
Yu Xiaogang woke up with a start and waved his hand, "I know."
snort!
Hu Liena snorted coldly, turned around and left quickly.
Yu Xiaogang noticed Hu Liena's disgusted look and curled his lips, "Saintess? Your apprentice is not as good as mine. Sure enough, the teaching level of the Spirit Hall is as low as I thought. Only if I am the one teaching that genius with a god-level spirit can he maximize his potential."
