Shen Xuan did not comment. He did not know what use this skeleton had. He had only listened to Elder Shi's words and bought it. As for the rest, he would have to listen to the latter's instructions.
"Haha, this old man won't force you. Since you've bought this skeleton, I naturally have no reason to snatch it.”Old Su smiled and then looked at the mercenary team not far away." Other than the bones, the bone wings are also good stuff. This trip was not in vain."”
When the mercenary team was fighting with Shen Xuan, they had retreated a little. However, when they saw Old Su looking at the bone wings on their backs, they couldn't help but reveal a look of joy. It seemed that the bone wings that had not been sold for a long time showed signs of making a move…
"Since Old Su is interested in the bone wings, then Shen Xuan will not disturb you and will leave first.”Shen Xuan smiled slightly when he heard this. After which, he cupped his hands together towards Old Su. He then dragged the skeleton and wrapped the medicinal ingredients that he could not sell before slowly walking back home.
……
After leaving the market, Shen Xuan grabbed the skeleton with his large hand and carried it on his shoulder before flying back home.
"Teacher, what is so strange about this skeleton? In order to buy this skeleton, I even sold the spirit condensing branch. Don't bluff me.”When he returned home, he put down the skeleton and asked impatiently.
The bones had long since scattered after the bumpy journey. They scattered randomly on the ground, appearing particularly messy. On the surface, there was nothing strange about these bones. They looked like ordinary white bones.
"Tch, isn't it just a spirit condensing branch? Looking at your distressed look, if that old man had any eyesight, he probably wouldn't have let you go so easily. He might have racked his brains to get your skeleton from you, or even snatch it from you.”Elder Shi appeared. His eyes randomly glanced at the pile of bones as he spoke in disdain.
Hearing Elder Shi's words, Shen Xuan rolled his eyes. He did not believe that Elder Su would dare to snatch his things in public. However, on the Dou Qi continent, this was considered a rather common thing. It was possible that a teammate who was fighting with you earlier would stab a knife into your chest in the next moment.
In front of a treasure, even if they were as close as brothers, it was possible for them to turn against each other. Therefore, it was not a good thing to casually hand over their backs to others when they were training outside.
"Could it be that this skeleton is really a treasure?”Shen Xuan rolled his eyes. His gaze carried a trace of urgency as he licked his lips excitedly and said. He naturally did not doubt Elder Shi's judgment. After all, Elder Shi had lived for so many years, and he was far from being comparable to a fledgling.
The skeleton in front of him was something that even Elder Shi paid great attention to. Clearly, it was not some trash.
"Hehe, you should be glad that you bought this skeleton. Otherwise, you would have nowhere to regret it.”Elder Shi chuckled. He immediately extended his hand and flipped over the bones on the ground. He mused for a moment before saying,"This bone is a rare mutated bone. It is likely that the Winged Bone Wolf possessed a mutated physique when it was alive. Tsk tsk!"”
"Mutated physique?" Shen Xuan was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this term. He looked at Elder Shi with a face full of doubt.
Elder Shi smiled when he saw Shen Xuan's puzzled gaze. He explained," The so-called mutated physique is an extremely special physique among Magical Beasts. Magical Beasts with these physiques are slightly different from ordinary Magical Beasts. They will have some special things compared to ordinary Magical Beasts. For example, some unicorns among pig Magical Beasts and twin-tailed cats among cat Magical Beasts are considered mutated physiques.”
"Oh? "Then this Winged Bone Wolf…" Shen Xuan rubbed his nose. He had heard of this before. Some of the Magical Beasts that looked extremely strange had areas that were more prominent than ordinary Magical Beasts.
"The Winged Bone Wolf is not considered a mutated magical beast. After all, they have already formed a group. However, this Winged Bone Wolf can be considered to have an extremely special mutated physique.”"Do you know why this Winged Bone Wolf doesn't have a monster core in its body?" Elder Shi smiled faintly and said softly.”
"I don't know." Shen Xuan shook his head honestly. He did not know much about Magical Beasts, and he had only seen the Monster Cores in Magical Beasts a few times, so how would he know about them?
Elder Shi was speechless when he heard this. However, he patiently explained," It's not that there are no monster cores in the Winged Bone Wolf's body. It's just that the bones of this Winged Bone Wolf are quite special. The monster cores condensed from them have fused with the bones of its entire body over time. Therefore, it's impossible to find any monster cores in its body.”
"The energy gathered in the bone marrow is extremely pure. When used for cultivation, it is definitely comparable to some medicinal pills!”
"Oh? There was such a good thing hidden in the bones of the winged bone wolf?”The corner of Shen Xuan's mouth curled. He randomly grabbed a bone and poured Dou Qi into it. Immediately, wild joy surged onto his face. The interior of this bone actually contained such pure energy!
"Teacher, are we just going to absorb the energy inside like this?”Rubbing his hands excitedly, he put down the bone in his hand and looked at Elder Shi with a fiery gaze.
"Heh, if you want to die, you can directly break it and absorb it. In less than two days, you will become a cripple!”Elder Shi glanced at Shen Xuan in a somewhat teasing manner and said,"Although the energy within is quite pure, it also contains quite a number of wild and violent Magical Beast elements. Even an elite Dou Shi would not dare to forcefully absorb it. It is likely that a puny little four star Dou Zhe like you will be instantly destroyed by that wild and violent energy until you are a mess!"”
"Then what should we do?" Shen Xuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He did not believe that Elder Shi would let him buy this skeleton without absorbing the energy inside. If that was the case, he might as well buy a few spiritual herbs to boost his cultivation with those few hundred gold coins.
"This is naturally something that can be extracted. However, it will be somewhat time-consuming. It is likely that I will not be able to completely extract the energy within a few hours.”Elder Shi said.
"I see…Then we'll deal with this thing tomorrow.”Shen Xuan mused for a moment before grabbing those bones. He pushed open the door and walked out. Elder Shi also turned into a black glow that rushed into his mind.
On the back mountain, in front of a steep cliff that was several zhang high, Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment before hugging a pile of bones. He pushed aside the thicket in front of him and entered a cave.
This cave was a little narrow and could only accommodate a few people. This cave was not hidden, but no one usually came here. Only when he was cultivating or breaking through would he come here to prevent others from disturbing him.
"Teacher, leave this skeleton here for now. We'll deal with it tomorrow. If father finds out about this at home, he might expose you.”Shen Xuan placed the skeleton on the ground and pulled a few tree branches at the entrance of the cave to cover it up. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and said.
"Yes, this matter is not urgent. It's fine to take a break.”Elder Shi appeared and glanced at Shen Xuan. He said,"You, a four star Dou Zhe, have broken through in a hurry. Hence, you are somewhat unfamiliar with the use of this level of strength. You should have sensed it when you exchanged blows with that brat, right?"”
Shen Xuan nodded slightly when he heard this. Elder Shi was right. When he fought with the Imperial Court, he also faintly showed signs of weakness. Clearly, he had yet to stabilize his strength.
"There is still some time. You should first stabilize the Dou Qi within your body and familiarize yourself with the use of the Devouring Power. If you are able to skillfully use the Devouring Power, you will not be at a disadvantage when you clash with that brat.”Elder Shi smiled faintly and immediately took the lead to leave the cave. He stopped in front of a large tree outside the cave. Shen Xuan did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed him out.
"The previous clash was quite beneficial to you. However, it is still not enough to familiarize yourself with the new strength in your body as soon as possible!”A cunning smile suddenly appeared on Elder Shi's face.
Shen Xuan immediately felt that something was amiss when he saw the smile on Elder Shi's face. He was just about to say something when the former's gloating voice was slowly transmitted over.
"From now on, use all your strength to attack this tree. Remember, don't hold back. Use as much strength as you can. Remember not to devour earth and heaven energy to recover in the middle of the attack.”
Shen Xuan's expression stiffened slightly when he heard Elder Shi's words. He immediately nodded. He was also aware that there was no such thing as an opportunistic method on the path of training. If one wanted to surpass others, the effort one had to put in would definitely not be less than others.
Although there were quite a number of people in this world who relied on their luck to obtain the things left behind by their predecessors and even accept the inheritance of their predecessors to become experts in a single leap, they were destined to be unable to step into the top level if they relied too much on these things. They were destined to walk the path of cultivation with their feet firmly planted on the ground.
"Ha!"
Shen Xuan shouted in a low voice. Dou Qi swiftly gathered on his arm and his fist that was suffused with a milky white light suddenly smashed towards the big tree.
Bang!
A slightly dull sound was emitted from the point where the fist tree met. He could clearly feel a sharp pain travel along his arm and into his mind. This kind of barbaric collision was completely testing the hardness of his physical body.
As for the huge tree, under this punch, it only left a shallow fist mark. Shen Xuan was not surprised by this. After all, this tree was not an ordinary tree. Otherwise, with his strength, he could completely pierce through a huge tree with a punch.
The tree in front of him was known as Black Wood. It was a tree species known for its hardness. It was as hard as black iron. Moreover, as it grew older, the hardness of the trunk would become stronger.
It was precisely because of the special properties of this Mysterious Wood that the people of the Dou Qi continent would widely use this Mysterious Wood to make some tables and chairs or use it in some buildings.
The Profound Wood in front of him, which was enough for a person to wrap his arms around, was probably dozens or even hundreds of years old. It was so hard that even an axe would find it difficult to split it. Naturally, it was not something that could be destroyed with such a little strength.
