"How am I supposed to know that?" Viktoria said to Lothur as she sat down on the outside area of her residence. "How many people with complete Soul Bone set and cultivation of at least 4th stage do you think there are out there?"
"And even if there are such people on the continent, do you think I would have access to them to ask questions?"
"Tsk!"
"As I said before, this is a legend, and the fact of quasi-immortality may very well be the fantasy part of the story to make it more attractive. However, it is a fact that the spirit body arises with the Soul Bones and that it has its special peculiarities."
"A single Soul Bone can already increase the vitality of a 1st stage cultivator by a few hundred years. But what about the complete set?"
"So, even if that is an ancient legend, there are indications enough for us to believe that something special happens when we gather 10 Soul Bones."
