Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 32 Laughter Brings Good Fortune

I don't know if it's because of Tang San's Tang-style betting method, but people in Douluo Continent always seem to have an irresistible feeling towards the word "betting".

Lin Nuo was fine until he asked Jing Hongchen about his chances of getting a legendary external soul bone, using the analogy of a lottery. Jing Hongchen became restless.

"You little rascal..." Jing Hongchen was both amused and exasperated.

“Give it a try. I know that people in our empire have a unique bias towards soul beasts like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but that’s precisely why we should pursue their power, right?” Lin Nuo said with a wink.

"Grandpa Mirror, think about it. It's true that he didn't get the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's spirit ring, but what if he had gotten a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external spirit bone..."

Jing Hongchen's breathing became slightly labored.

"Alright, let's bet."

In the end, Jing Hongchen couldn't resist the temptation. Lin Nuo's words were indeed too alluring. After all, Xiao Hongchen was his grandson. Even if he was not as talented as Lin Nuo in terms of martial soul, Jing Hongchen would not refuse if it could help his grandson achieve greater success.

Compared to Xiao Hongchen's future prospects, his idealized image of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was no longer so important.

“A two-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is no longer something you can handle. I’ll do it myself.” Jing Hongchen said, then flashed behind the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and slapped it on the back of the head.

The once imposing Xiong Da suddenly fell asleep, and a bright purple soul ring slowly appeared on its body.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Hongchen started gambling.

He touched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body inch by inch, searching for parts that emitted soul power fluctuations.

Lin Nuo watched Jing Hongchen's actions with a smile but remained silent, though he was confident in his own mind.

This confidence stems from the original storyline.

The outer area, with a lifespan of 2,200 years, how many coincidences are there in the world? Although his encounter with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was indeed too coincidental, he could basically confirm that this was the third soul ring that Xiao Xiao had absorbed in the original story.

With Lin Nuo's intervention, it might drop other parts of the soul bone if it is killed prematurely, but it is unlikely that other parts of the soul bone will drop.

Sure enough, when Jing Hongchen touched the right paw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, his expression lit up with joy. He quickly peeled open the bear's paw and took out a small piece of dark gold human palm bone.

It is very clear that the five metacarpal bones are all sharp and razor-sharp.

Absorbing this right claw external soul bone will definitely grant you the Dark Gold Terror Claw soul skill.

“I never thought it would actually exist…” Jing Hongchen stared blankly at the soul bone in his hand.

But... how did Lin Nuo know that?
Pure guess?

The worldview that Lao Jing had spent over a hundred years building seemed to suddenly face a huge challenge. He felt that he was bearing an impact that he should not have had at his age.

Holding the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's external soul bone, Jing Hongchen's thoughts began to race. His original intention to give it to Xiao Hongchen to absorb also faded considerably.

"You can absorb this soul bone."

Jing Hongchen handed the soul bone to Lin Nuo and said in a somewhat complicated tone.

Sometimes you really have to admit that Arno has a bit of mystical power about him. Just based on this ability that can be described as having words that can become law, it would be a waste not to let him absorb this soul bone.

"Let's give it to Lao Xiao. Compared to this soul bone, I'm more interested in the delicious ingredients from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!" Lin Nuo raised an eyebrow, pushed Jing Hongchen's hand back, hummed a song as he walked towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's corpse, and then began to process the ingredients with shining eyes.

Bear paws, bear legs, bear tenderloin, bear ribs, bear bile, bear head...

Lin Nuo was so busy that he didn't even glance at the dark gold dinosaur claw bear soul bone. He genuinely didn't care.

It's not that he looks down on it; the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul bone is undoubtedly extremely powerful, especially since it's an external soul bone. It can grow as long as a soul master can live, with virtually no limit.

In particular, its accompanying Dark Gold Terror Claw Soul Skill is very suitable for Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters like Lin Nuo who lack offensive capabilities.

But... one shouldn't be too selfish...

He has taken too much from the Hongchen family, but has given them almost nothing in return. Even the sniper rifle he gave to Jing Hongchen was just to empty his wallet so he could have the funds to buy the Snow Emperor's embryo.

It would have been better if he hadn't encountered it. But now that he has met such a suitable soul bone for Xiao Hongchen, Lin Nuo is unwilling from the bottom of his heart to compete with Xiao Hongchen.

Moreover, his lack of offensive capabilities is only temporary. Once he obtains the Snow Empress embryo, how could he possibly lack offensive capabilities again?

The focus of all their skills will shift from the Blue Silver Grass of Life to the ultimate ice.

For Linno at that time, having an extra Dark Gold Terrorclaw was like having nothing to do with something but not something to throw away. With it, Linno was strong; without it, Linno was still strong.

However, it is highly likely that it will greatly enhance Xiao Hongchen's abilities.

Or is it that after Xiao Hongchen obtained this soul bone, Lin Nuo would no longer receive support and help from his brother-in-law?
Obviously impossible.

Even after learning from Jing Hongchen that he had given the soul bone to him, he felt even closer to Lin Nuo.

Of course, the sharp-minded Lin Nuo couldn't think that far ahead for the time being. He only felt that this soul bone was more suitable for Xiao Hongchen. In addition, he didn't need it much and really wanted to strengthen Lao Xiao, so he acted so calmly.

My buddy really doesn't care.

The allure of the soul bone is far less than that of the bear itself.

"I want to see just how delicious the meat of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was touted as a god by Huo Gua in the original novel, really is!"

Let's get this done, brothers, straight to sashimi!

While preparing the ingredients, Lin Nuo casually sliced ​​off a piece of meat as thin as a cicada's wing, dipped it in some chili sauce and salt, and put it directly into his mouth.

"Mmm!!" Lin Nuo's eyes lit up, and he quickly cut off another slice, one after another, wolfing it down.

While Jing Hongchen was still sighing, Lin Nuo had already eaten about 30% of her fill.

The medicine rapidly digested the nutrients, transforming the rich protein and blood from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat into nutrients that were then transported throughout Lin Nuo's body, making him feel warm all over.

To be honest, Lin Nuo wasn't used to eating sashimi. He was taught from a young age that food should be cooked thoroughly. But during his time living in the Jingyang Mountains, he had endured all kinds of hardships and lived a life of raw meat and blood just to survive.

By tasting the meat of the Dark Gold Devil Claw Bear as sashimi, it's not so difficult to appreciate its texture.

Once you start eating, you can't stop.

"Hey, hey kid, leave some for me!"

Seeing Lin Nuo eating with increasing gusto, Jing Hongchen, who was deep in thought, finally snapped out of her daze and immediately became anxious.

"What's the rush? It tastes better when it's fully cooked..."

A whole dark gold Devilclaw Bear just went into the stomachs of the two of them...
