Saint Spirit Village and Dihun Village were only a few miles apart.
Therefore, if Chu Chen wanted to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, it wouldn't be difficult. Moreover, Tang Hao hadn't set up any barriers.
"In any case, it doesn't seem like Tang Hao values that Spirit Bone much, considering he just left it in a cave."
Chu Chen was determined to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone.
As everyone knew, only one Blue Silver Emperor could exist at a time. If he completed the evolution first…
That little brat would probably be out of luck.
"I just hope the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone can also trigger the evolution of my Blue Silver Grass."
He gazed at the patches of Blue Silver Grass growing before him, his eyes deep in thought…
Since awakening his Spirit yesterday, Chu Chen had remained in the nearby forest, conducting experiments on his Blue Silver Grass.
Aside from eating and sleeping, he had almost completely immersed himself in exploring his Spirit.
"As expected, although Blue Silver Grass itself possesses a certain degree of devouring ability, there's more…"
"It's a unique characteristic of my Blue Silver Grass—it's actually tainted with the Will of Destruction!"
Chu Chen spoke excitedly. This meant his Blue Silver Grass was definitely not ordinary.
Even though its full power had yet to be unleashed, he could already use its traits to absorb vitality and continuously strengthen himself.
"Blue Silver Grass governs life, while the Ancient Dragon governs destruction—two extreme attributes layered together."
Chu Chen smiled. He knew this would lead to an entirely new path.
Thus, he began experimenting, using his Blue Silver Grass Spirit to absorb the life force of surrounding plants and convert it into surging power for himself.
"Boom!"
The seemingly fragile Blue Silver Grass suddenly stirred up a fierce gale—an aura attack born from extreme vitality.
"It worked!" Chu Chen exclaimed in delight.
His hypothesis was correct. His Blue Silver Grass could absorb life force for his own use and even enhance his bloodline power.
After unleashing the attack, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass that had been drained of vitality completely withered, like fallen leaves in autumn, ready to fade away.
"If there were a way to replenish the vitality of nearby plants and then absorb it again…"
Chu Chen fell into deep thought.
He was now certain that the path he had chosen was absolutely correct.
By cultivating the life attribute, Blue Silver Grass could still achieve powerful offensive strength, while also gaining greater versatility.
In that case, couldn't it also serve a control function?
"Blue Silver Grass doesn't need deliberate control-type cultivation. That would be putting the cart before the horse—focusing on weaknesses instead of strengths."
"Pushing the extreme life attribute to its limit is the only correct path!"
Chu Chen condensed his spirit power, and a strand of Blue Silver Grass bloomed in his palm.
Upon closer inspection, compared to when it first awakened yesterday, its leaves had become thicker and larger, and its stems far more resilient.
"My theory holds. In that case, for my first spirit ring, I should choose a Spirit Beast with a life attribute…"
At the same time, a new idea formed in his mind.
Since Blue Silver Grass could absorb vitality and convert it into pure power…
Could he create a Spirit Ability that used vitality to buff himself, granting a massive boost?
---
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Chu Chen's Blue Silver Grass Spirit had undergone noticeable changes.
Although he had yet to obtain a spirit ring, its physical transformation was visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, the natural patterns on its leaves had grown increasingly distinct—a clear sign of evolution.
Among all Spirits aligned with the life attribute, none was more suitable than Blue Silver Grass.
Chu Chen continued his daily cultivation, focusing on enhancing its vitality and developing specialized techniques.
"Whew…"
Chu Chen stood up. After awakening his Innate spirit power, his physical constitution had also improved significantly.
But it still wasn't enough.
What he needed was an even stronger body—only then could he absorb spirit rings of higher age.
"Chu Chen! Chu Chen!"
At that moment, he heard Village Chief Tig calling out to him.
Returning to Dihun Village, he saw the chief waving at him.
Several unfamiliar faces stood beside him.
"Chu Chen, these are blacksmiths from neighboring Saint Spirit Village. They've come to forge iron tools for our village."
"This is the best blacksmith in Saint Spirit Village. We spent a lot to invite him here."
Chu Chen looked over and felt the two figures were strangely familiar.
Looking closer—weren't they that little brat and Tang Hao?
"Where's the forge? Take me there," Tang Hao said in a low voice, clearly unwilling to waste words.
"Follow me."
Village Chief Tig led Tang Hao toward the forging area, then turned to Chu Chen.
"Chu Chen, this child came with his father. You're about the same age, so take him out to play."
"Grandpa Chief, the bird trap I set on the back mountain isn't finished yet."
Chu Chen spoke calmly, politely declining.
What bird trap? Of course there wasn't one.
This was the perfect opportunity to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.
"Go ahead then. I'm going to learn blacksmithing with my father," Tang San said.
After speaking, Tang San followed Tang Hao without hesitation.
Seizing the moment, Chu Chen turned and left. Once he was sure he had left Dihun Village, he broke into a full sprint toward Saint Spirit Village.
A wide grin spread across his face.
"Can something this good really happen, brother?"
A few miles meant nothing to Chu Chen, who possessed Innate Full Spirit Power.
Saint Spirit Village had a unique location—with a single waterfall nearby.
"It should be here."
Before long, Chu Chen arrived at the waterfall.
Although the rocks had been smoothed by the rushing water, he used his precise control over Blue Silver Grass to climb swiftly along the protrusions.
Finally, after passing through the waterfall, he discovered a hidden cave.
It was silent and concealed—no one would suspect anything unusual.
No one would imagine that a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone lay within.
Entering the dark, damp cave, Chu Chen paused for a moment before cursing:
"Is this Tang Hao even human? If he is, I'll eat my hat!"
"Even a three-year-old knows plants need sunlight, yet he planted his own wife in a place where no light can reach?"
"Is he even human?!"
Sure enough, when Chu Chen looked over, the Blue Silver Emperor appeared withered and lifeless.
But he paid it no mind. Instead, he immediately began searching the stone walls for the Spirit Bone's location.
