[After finishing the notes, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to the pile of Spirit Bones.]
["Father, can I take some of these ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Bones?"]
[Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen.]
["What do you plan to do? Study these Spirit Bones?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen's brows shot up.]
["Yes, I'm a bit curious about these Spirit Bones."]
[Yu Xiaogang nodded.]
[Yu Xiaogang had always felt that Spirit Bones were quite wondrous.]
[A Spirit Beast has so many bones, yet when one drops a Spirit Bone, it only ever drops a single piece.]
[And the probability of it dropping is extremely small.]
[Moreover, except for external Spirit Bones, the dropped Spirit Bones are always for one of six fixed body parts.]
[Setting aside whether certain Spirit Beasts even have those parts.]
[Just the fact that plant-type Spirit Beasts can drop Spirit Bones was already quite abstract in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.]
[Who has ever heard of a flower or a plant growing bones?]
[In any case, Yu Xiaogang had always been very curious about Spirit Bones.]
[Unfortunately, he didn't have any Spirit Bones to study before.]
[Now, he had suddenly obtained such a large pile of Spirit Bones, and most importantly, there was a large amount of ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Bones among them.]
[Spirit Bones are just like spirit rings; once a Spirit Master absorbs one, it can never be changed.]
[Therefore, for Spirit Masters with ambitions, the minimum Spirit Bone they would accept is a Millennial Spirit Bone.]
[Hundred-year Spirit Bones are likely only absorbed by those with average backgrounds or in cases where the Spirit Bone itself has some unique properties.]
[As for the even lower ten-year Spirit Bones, only commoner Spirit Masters would absorb them.]
[Regardless, for their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, there's a high probability that no one among the upper echelons would absorb these hundred-year Spirit Bones, and they wouldn't even spare a glance at the ten-year ones.]
[By not absorbing them, they still have the chance to obtain Millennial or even ten thousand year spirit bones.]
[But once absorbed, they would never have the chance to change it in the future.]
[So, to him, these ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Bones were materials he could get his hands on for research.]
["You can take the ten-year Spirit Bones as you please. For hundred-year Spirit Bones, those with lower years are fine, but anything over five hundred years is off-limits."]
[After a moment of deliberation, Yu Yuanzhen finally nodded.]
[He knew his son was full of curiosity regarding the Spirit system.]
[And over the years, Yu Xiaogang had proven his ability with one fact after another.]
[Like the whale glue from back then; who could have imagined that a medicinal substance used as an aphrodisiac could actually be a divine item that allows Spirit Masters to obtain higher-year spirit rings.]
[So Yu Yuanzhen agreed to Yu Xiaogang's request on the spot. After all, they were just some ten-year Spirit Bones; it wouldn't be too painful even if they were wasted.]
[And if his son really researched something from these Spirit Bones, the one to benefit would be their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Having received Yu Yuanzhen's answer, Yu Xiaogang didn't hesitate and directly put all the ten-year Spirit Bones into his storage soul tool.]
[That bold movement made Yu Yuanzhen's eyelids twitch.]
[Then came the hundred-year Spirit Bones: those under two hundred years, those under three hundred years, four hundred...]
["Stop, stop, I said stop!"]
[Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to pocket all the four-hundred-year Spirit Bones as well, Yu Yuanzhen finally couldn't take it anymore.]
[Good grief, seriously, I said you could take them as you please, and you really took them as you pleased?]
[Taking all the ten-year Spirit Bones wasn't enough; you're even planning to take everything below the minimum standard I set for you?]
["Is this any way to act?"]
["If I hadn't set a condition, wouldn't you have taken every single Spirit Bone below the Millennial level?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen said while staring huffily at Yu Xiaogang.]
["Actually, I was planning to take a few Millennial Spirit Bones too."]
[Yu Xiaogang thought to himself; he didn't dare say this out loud.]
[Unfortunately, no one knows a son better than his father. As soon as Yu Yuanzhen saw Yu Xiaogang's expression and the way he looked at those Millennial Spirit Bones, he understood that if he hadn't spoken up, this rascal would have taken some of the Millennial Spirit Bones too.]
[At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen felt a deep concern for the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[With Yu Xiaogang's spendthrift style, if he were to become the Sect Master, the Sect would probably suffer losses every year.]
[To prevent Yu Xiaogang from eyeing them further, Yu Yuanzhen immediately waved his hand and swept all the remaining Spirit Bones into his own storage soul tool.]
[Looking at the Spirit Bones being taken away, Yu Xiaogang smacked his lips a couple of times.]
[According to his original plan, he intended to have at least one piece from each level: ten-year, hundred-year, Millennial, and ten thousand year.]
[Only through actual comparison could he more clearly understand the specific details of these Spirit Bones.]
[Unfortunately, looking at his father's actions, asking him for Millennial Spirit Bones was a lost cause, let alone ten thousand year spirit bones.]
["Forget it, I'll just make do with those ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Bones for research for now."]
["Wait until I have some research results, then I'll ask Father for higher-level Spirit Bones."]
[Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang looked at the pile of Spirit Bones in his storage soul tool, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.]
[With so many Spirit Bones, he could properly explore what the secret of Spirit Bones was.]
Black World, Shrek Academy.
"Dammit, dammit, dammit! Curse you, curse you!!!"
Yu Xiaogang watched his parallel world self in the heavenly curtain pocketing such a large pile of Spirit Bones and preparing to study them; he was so jealous he was on the verge of throwing a tantrum on the floor.
His defenses were completely breached!
As a researcher, Yu Xiaogang knew all too well what kind of improvement sufficient research materials could bring to a researcher.
Just like when he was studying in Spirit Hall back then; it was precisely because there was enough information that he was able to organize the Theory of the Maximum Spirit Ring Age Limit for Spirit Masters to absorb.
Back then, judging that his Disciple Tang San had twin spirits was also thanks to the numerous examples of Blue Silver Grass Awakening; only then could he be certain Tang San had twin spirits.
Afterward, he used his theories to shock Tang San and successfully took in this Genius Disciple.
Regarding Spirit Bones, Yu Xiaogang had naturally been curious as well.
Curious about how Spirit Bones were produced, curious about the fundamental reason they could bring improvements to Spirit Masters, curious about why Spirit Bones could provide a skill just like spirit rings...
Yu Xiaogang had thought about these questions, but unfortunately, he had never been able to obtain a real Spirit Bone to study.
And he had always felt that as long as he could get a Spirit Bone, he could break through the Rank 30 bottleneck.
Thus, failing to obtain a Spirit Bone had always been Yu Xiaogang's regret.
But what did he see now?
It was one thing for his parallel self and father to get a pile of Spirit Bones.
But the father over there even nodded in agreement to let that self take away dozens of Spirit Bones for research.
One must know that research can lead to depletion and loss!
In other words, the father over there had already presupposed that those Spirit Bones would all be lost.
And yet, he still agreed.
Heavens!!!
Is this something that can be casually agreed upon without a meeting of the Sect's upper echelons?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"
"It must be that the parallel world caused their personalities to be different."
Yu Xiaogang stared at Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen, father and son, in the heavenly curtain with a face full of jealousy, resenting his own father in his heart.
Why is it that when his parallel self wanted to do research, his father supported him so much, even giving away dozens of Spirit Bones with just one sentence?
While when he wanted to do research, his father had that look of disdain.
It must be because of the parallel world, it must be!
