In the back garden of Ze Tian Palace, many maids were flying kites.
Qin Yin was dressed in a purple cloak with the golden emblem of the Ziyinhua Empire pinned on her chest. She held a dark green zither in her arms as she looked up at the kite in the sky.
"Your Highness Ying!" A maid greeted her respectfully from the side.
Qin Yin smiled gently. "It's fine now. You may leave!"
"Yes!"
Qin Yin turned around and saw Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes looking at her as if she was looking at an extremely delicious delicacy, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Xiaoxi, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not here to eat."
Tang Xiaoxi rubbed her hands together and smiled shyly. "Xiao Yin, I have a favor to ask of you …"
"Oh …"
Qin Yin couldn't help but smile. "When did our Xiao Xi become so polite? Hmph, where did your courage go when you asked for five pieces of Golden Silk Wood from the palace last time? "
Tang Xiaoxi's face turned red. "I might have gone a little overboard this time …"
"Oh, say it!" Qin Yin put down her harp and generously opened her arms to hug Tang Xiaoxi's shoulders. She smiled. "I don't have anything I want anyway. If you say it, I will naturally do my best to help you."
"Xiao Yin, do you still remember what Her Majesty the Empress gave you when you were seven years old?"
"Ah?" Qin Yin was stunned. "Mother gave me … the last gift …"
"Yes, yes …"
Qin Yin lowered her head and slowly unbuttoned her clothes. The golden thread extended all the way to the two tender pieces of flesh. There was a piece of bone about the size of a thumb hanging at the end. It was a young dragon's metatarsal, but it was a genuine five-clawed dragon. It was passed down from generation to generation in her mother's family.
"This is the last thing my mother left for me …"
Qin Yin's eyes reddened. Her mother had already passed away when she was still young, and there weren't many things left for her.
Seeing Qin Yin's eyes turning red, Tang Xiaoxi panicked. "Xiao Yin, don't cry. I don't want it anymore …"
Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said, "Although this True Dragon Bone is precious, but … but if Xiao Xi really needs it, I'm willing to give it to you. After all, it's just a gift to me."
"Really?"
Tang Xiaoxi blinked her beautiful eyes, but she felt that she was going a little overboard, so she shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don't want it anymore …"
Qin Yin smiled and lifted her long hair. She took the pendant from her neck and said, "Alright, I'll give it to you. You are my best sister, a sister for life. Don't I still have the zither that mother left me? Moreover, as long as Xiao Xi is happy, the spirit of my mother in heaven will also be gratified, right? Hehe … "
Tang Xiaoxi held the dragon bone that was still warm from Qin Yin's body, feeling apologetic and grateful. She pouted and said, "Xiao Yin, I will treat you well for life, and I will never leave you!"
"Yes, me too!"
…
In the afternoon, a white horse stopped in front of the temple. Tang Xiaoxi entered the temple with the True Dragon Bone that Qin Yin had given her. She found Lin Muyu, who was sparring with her. The Silver Star instructor immediately left respectfully. He knew that Tang Xiaoxi had something to discuss with Lin Muyu, so he didn't dare to be a third wheel. Princess Xi was the second most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, and the beloved daughter of Tang Lan of the Seven Seas City. She was temperamental, and he couldn't afford to offend her.
"This … is really the True Dragon Bone?"
Lin Muyu held the pendant in her hands, finding it hard to believe. This metatarsal looked simple and ordinary, and didn't look like a dragon bone.
Tang Xiaoxi's eyes immediately turned red, and she felt extremely wronged. "In order to obtain this True Dragon Bone, I … I'm willing to give up everything. You heartless fellow, you actually doubt that this isn't the True Dragon Bone!"
Lin Muyu hurriedly smiled apologetically. "Ha, thank you, Xiao Xi … Thank you so much. Where did you get this True Dragon Bone? It must be very expensive. I heard from Grandpa Lei Hong of the temple that the True Dragon on the continent has long been extinct, and the True Dragon Bone has also disappeared with the passage of time. It's impossible to find a complete True Dragon Bone. "
"You don't need to ask where I got it." Tang Xiaoxi blinked and said, "Mu, what do you want this True Dragon Bone for? To refine medicine?"
"Heh!" Lin Muyu didn't want the Remnant Scroll of the Forging Dragon Bone to spread, so she smiled and said, "It's a secret, I'll tell you in the future!"
Tang Xiaoxi was instantly unhappy, and she lightly pouted. "So petty. If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I'm going back to cultivate!"
"Mm, when I'm free, I'll visit you at the Duke's Mansion!"
"When?" Tang Xiaoxi was a little excited.
"When I'm free!"
"Bastard …"
…
After sending off Princess Xi, a few sparring partners and instructors nearby all looked at her with ambiguous and jealous gazes. It was no wonder that the naturally beautiful Tang Xiaoxi, a rare peerless beauty, would actually show such favor to a mere Temple employee like Lin Muyu. How could they not be envious and jealous? These instructors and sparring partners felt that the heavens were too unfair, and all the favor had landed on this brat, Lin Zhi.
Holding the dragon bone in his hand, Lin Muyu happily thought about when to refine it.
At this moment, Reihom entered the training hall and went straight to the training room where Lin Muyu was. With a calm expression, he smiled and said, "Lin Zhi, I'm here to see you. How's your cultivation going?"
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Reihom. Everything is normal!" He answered truthfully.
"Oh?"
Reihom lowered his voice and smiled. "Have you comprehended the Remnant Scroll of the Forging Dragon Bone?"
"Uh … I've comprehended less than half …"
"Is that so …" Reihom nodded and muttered to himself. He took out a black key and gave it to him. "Here, this is for you."
"Oh, what's this?"
"A secret room in the backyard. Many Gold Star instructors have their own private secret training rooms where they won't be disturbed. You also need a quiet environment to cultivate the Remnant Scroll of the Forging Dragon Bone, so this secret room is temporarily for you to use. Use it well and don't waste the Temple's resources."
Lin Muyu was extremely grateful. "Thank you, Grandpa Reihom!"
"Ha, you're welcome. If it wasn't for that old fellow Qu Chu's face, I wouldn't have made an exception to let sparring partners have their own private secret rooms!"
… …
The afternoon training session was naturally canceled. When Lin Muyu arrived at the secret room in the backyard, he was shocked. Although it was called a secret room, it was actually a courtyard. It was more luxurious than the three bedrooms and two living rooms. The secret room was fully equipped with daily necessities, and every secret room was equipped with a servant to take care of the practitioner's daily necessities.
After entering the secret room, he immediately locked the stone door.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed. This kind of design was reasonable. Many experts who cultivated in the Law of Fire could not cultivate on a normal bed, or else they would burn the bed. Lin Muyu's cultivation direction was uncertain. The Lightning Strike was based on the Law of Lightning, while the Green Rock Armor was based on the Law of Rock. But if the Qi was strong enough, it could also produce flames, so it was better to sit on the stone bed.
"Hum … …"
With a gentle push, the True Dragon Bone immediately floated in front of his chest. He gently untied the golden thread that was tied to the dragon bone and put it in his arms. He then began to use his Qi to feel the power in the dragon bone.
Just as Lin Muyu was focusing all her attention on the dragon bone, she suddenly felt a splitting pain in her head. Following that, she heard the roar of a divine dragon and a vast dragon aura surrounding her body. She felt as if her entire body was being burned by the dragon's flames, and the heart-wrenching pain was unbearable. Lin Muyu let out a cry of pain, but she forced herself to stay focused and continued to pry into the secrets of the dragon bone.
Although his eyes were closed, his Yi Hai could feel the scene. In the chaos, the flames were burning. He saw a young golden dragon struggling in the endless purgatory magma, letting out roars. This was probably the scene when the young dragon died. The young dragon's roar had already turned into a mournful cry, and then its body slowly turned into a pool of blood in the magma. Only a part of the dragon's claw was left clinging to the rock.
As time passed, the dragon's claw slowly weathered, and finally, only a metatarsal bone was left. It was the metatarsal bone in front of him.
Lin Muyu let out a long sigh. He finally understood the origin of this metatarsal bone, and also understood the memory and power contained in this dragon bone. This young dragon had stored almost all of its Dragon Power in this metatarsal bone.
If he really refined this metatarsal bone, it would be equivalent to refining the power of a young five-clawed dragon!
… …
He took a deep breath and began to use his Qi to peel off the structure of the dragon bone, releasing the Dragon Power within.
However, his Qi was like water in a stream, constantly attacking the rock that was the dragon bone, but he could not break it. After more than an hour, there was still no progress.
Did he really have to use the crafting cauldron?
He slowly shook his head and raised his palm. Flames quickly enveloped his body and the dragon bone. The huge cauldron had already been opened. Something that could not be done with Qi, the crafting cauldron should be able to do.
"Light the fire!"
With his order, the crafting cauldron let out a low whistle, and raging flames lingered around the dragon bone. The extremely penetrating flames only burned for less than ten minutes, and the dragon bone began to peel off. With a dragon's roar, strands of golden Dragon Power slowly lingered around Lin Muyu's body, and then continuously seeped into her body.
"Ah …"
When the Dragon Power entered her skin, flesh, and blood, Lin Muyu felt an extremely intense burning pain, but that was not the main point. When the Dragon Power touched her bones and began to temper and fuse with them, the piercing pain was completely unbearable for Lin Muyu. Her body was instantly covered in sweat, and her clothes and pants were immediately soaked.
However, the pain was far more than that. As the Dragon Power continued to temper and fuse with her bones, the pain became more and more intense. Finally, Lin Muyu's consciousness began to blur, and she fell on her back.
"Big brother, stop!"
A voice came into his ear. It was the elf female official, Lulu. She was flying in the air, shouting at the top of her lungs.
Lin Muyu suddenly woke up, and found that his body was covered in flames.
"Ah?!"
He hurriedly withdrew his Qi and the crafting cauldron, and rolled on the ground a few times to put out the flames on his body. He stood there in a sorry state. If it was not for Lulu waking him up and letting the crafting cauldron continue, he was afraid that his body would have been destroyed!
… …
Pain could be stimulating, but it could also make people faint and fall asleep. This was too dangerous!
