Chapter 58: Tang Hao: Is It Just My Imagination? Chatting with "A Yin"

[Ding! Would you like to open it now?]

A Yin: "Yes!"

[Ding! Congratulations to Blue Silver Emperor A Yin for gaining an additional 20,000 years of cultivation! The Blue Silver Emperor's life attributes have been enhanced!]

Immediately, A Yin could feel a comprehensive improvement in herself. Now, her cultivation had reached 40,000 years. However, it was still sealed, and she had no idea when it would be fully unsealed.

Having successfully contracted A Yin as his soul spirit, Su Ming was very satisfied. He decided to explore the soul spirit's other functions later, as time was pressing now.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Su Ming's mind. He glanced at one of the Blue Silver Grass plants in the cave, his eyes twinkling mischievously. Xiao Wu noticed his expression and instantly knew Su Ming was planning something sneaky.

"Xiao Wu, give me one of the disguise talismans I gave you earlier. I don't have any on me right now," Su Ming said.

Curious about what Su Ming was up to, Xiao Wu handed him a talisman.

Su Ming used the talisman on the Blue Silver Grass plant. Immediately, the plant's leaves were adorned with blue-gold stripes, and it even carried A Yin's unique aura!

The talisman's effects would last for a full year. Su Ming grinned to himself, thinking of how Tang Hao would react when he returned in a year, only to find that his precious A Yin had seemingly turned into an ordinary Blue Silver Grass. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Just to be safe, we have to set up some disguises. If Tang Hao suddenly notices that A Yin is missing, it'll be a disaster," Su Ming said.

A Yin: ...

Xiao Wu also marveled at how careful Su Ming was.

Thanks to Su Ming's disguise ability, he could alter the aura of his fourth soul ring, ensuring that Tang Hao wouldn't suspect anything.

With that done, Su Ming and Xiao Wu headed to the spot where Tang Hao had hidden the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

A Yin instantly guessed what Su Ming was about to do and felt uneasy.

Su Ming, turning serious, instructed Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, keep this teleportation talisman ready. The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, left behind after A Yin's sacrifice, has Tang Hao's spiritual imprint on it. We can't hide it once we touch it, so we need to move quickly! When I say so, use the talisman immediately."

This teleportation talisman was of a higher level than an ordinary space talisman. While a space talisman could teleport within a limited range in a chosen direction, a teleportation talisman worked more like a return spell, instantly transporting the user to a predetermined location. It could even take others along.

Over the years, Su Ming had only obtained this one teleportation talisman, but he didn't feel the slightest regret using it here. Trading one talisman for a 100,000-year soul bone and making A Yin his soul spirit? Definitely worth it!

Xiao Wu nodded seriously, acknowledging the importance of the situation.

Over the years, Su Ming's diary-writing had earned him many strange and useful rewards, including a variety of functional talismans. Unfortunately, he hadn't yet unlocked the method to create talismans himself, or he would surely dominate the market!

Su Ming then took out two concealment talismans, one for himself and one for Xiao Wu. These talismans would erase their presence from the area for five minutes, a relatively low-level but effective tool.

They soon found the box containing the soul bone. Su Ming opened it and confirmed that it was indeed a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone!

He then took out an identical soul bone—exact in both appearance and aura!

Both Xiao Wu and A Yin were shocked. Where had Su Ming gotten an identical soul bone?

If he already had one, why bother taking this one?

Now wasn't the time for questions, though!

After swapping the bones, placing the box back in its original position, Su Ming quickly said, "Now, Xiao Wu! Use the teleportation talisman!"

"Got it!" Xiao Wu activated the talisman by injecting her soul power into it, targeting a secluded spot at Notting Academy.

The moment Su Ming touched the box containing A Yin's soul bone, Tang Hao's spiritual imprint was triggered. Far away in Nuoding City, Tang Hao furrowed his brow. The spiritual imprint he'd left on the soul bone at the Holy Soul Village's mountain had disappeared—someone had tampered with it!

Alarmed, Tang Hao summoned all his power and sped toward the Holy Soul Village, determined to protect what was left of A Yin.

In no time, Tang Hao arrived at the hidden cave in the back mountain.

He opened the box and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the 100,000-year soul bone was still there. This soul bone was reserved for Tang San, for when his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline awakened. Losing it was not an option!

With the soul bone intact, Tang Hao extended his spiritual power, covering the entire mountain. He wanted to understand how his imprint had disappeared. Someone must have been here—there was no way the imprint could have vanished on its own!

After searching for a long time, Tang Hao found no suspicious traces in the area. Could it have been his imagination? Had the imprint merely expired at that moment by coincidence?

At least the soul bone was still there, so he stopped worrying.

But had the soul bone been stolen, he would have made the entire Holy Soul Village pay, searching every inch until he found the thief!

Meanwhile, back at Notting Academy, Su Ming would have been relieved if he knew Tang Hao's thoughts. His precautions had paid off.

Since Tang Hao was already back, he decided to visit A Yin and chat with her for a bit. With Tang San about to graduate and head to Shrek Academy, Tang Hao wouldn't have many chances to return to the Holy Soul Village in the near future.

He approached the Blue Silver Grass plant with the blue-gold stripes.

Sitting beside "A Yin," he started talking to her, saying his goodbyes and sharing many thoughts.

After a while, Tang Hao felt something was off. Today, "A Yin" hadn't responded to him as much as usual. In the past, she would always wrap her leaves around his little finger, but now she didn't.

And... her aura felt weaker than before. Her cultivation seemed to have regressed, almost down to the hundred-year level. What was going on?

Tang Hao carefully examined her and confirmed that it was indeed A Yin's aura. The blue-gold stripes on the leaves were unmistakable—they were the unique mark of the Blue Silver Emperor!

Shaking his head, Tang Hao decided not to think too much about it. Maybe her weakened state was due to environmental factors. Later, he'd have the Grandmaster study her and figure out what was wrong.

Little did Tang Hao know, the "Blue Silver Emperor" in front of him was nothing more than an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, cleverly disguised by Su Ming!
