On this day.
In the Lian tribal clan's grain-sunning ground, a large cauldron about the height of a person was filled with Li Fire Water.
This Li Fire Water was bought from a large tribe. The Li Fire Water itself contained the power of fire, and its water temperature could reach four to five hundred degrees without boiling. It was specially used to cook desolate bones.
The firewood piled under the cauldron was not ordinary. It was Purple Fire Wood. It looked like a wriggling old snake.
Although it looked inconspicuous, the Purple Fire Wood was very valuable. It contained the power of fire. Lighting a half foot long piece of Purple Fire Wood could last an entire day and boil a few pots of water.
The Lian tribal clan had prepared for this day for a long time. But even so, they could not bear to use too much of the Purple Fire Wood. They could only use one a day.
As such, the fire began to burn.
The Purple Fire Wood spat out a purple flame. It burned quietly, but the temperature of the flame was so high that it could melt rocks!
Under the burning of the Purple Fire, the cauldron of Li Fire Water quickly heated up!
The person in charge of refining the desolate bones was the Patriarch of the Lian tribal clan, who was also Lian Chengyu's grandfather. This matter was of great importance, so the Patriarch decided to personally do it.
"Lower the desolate bones!"
The Patriarch gave the order when he saw the water temperature was about right.
A few strong villagers carried the large wooden box and threw the desolate bones into the cauldron!
The Patriarch looked at the bubbling bubbles in the cauldron with a serious expression.
Normally, refining desolate bones was not something mortals like them could do.
In this world, there were people who specialized in refining desolate bones. They were known as Desolate Heaven Masters!
Desolate Heaven Masters were highly respected!
Their ability was to purify the essence of the desolate bones, and refine it into a crystal that fascinated many warriors, even to the point of going crazy, the desolate bone relic.
A typical desolate beast's skeleton weighed thousands of pounds. Although the desolate bones contained an astounding amount of energy, it was impossible for a human to eat thousands of pounds of bones. Even if they forced themselves to eat it, it would be difficult to digest!
The energy in the desolate bones was not easy to absorb. Eating a piece of desolate bone would not even absorb a tenth of it.
However, the desolate bone relics refined by a Desolate Heaven Master were only the size of a longan, or even the size of a soybean. If one had enough wealth, it would not be a problem to eat seven or eight a day.
Furthermore, after the energy essence was refined by a Desolate Heaven Master, it was very easy to absorb. As long as a warrior's realm was high enough, there would not be a situation where the warrior's body would explode from not being able to withstand the energy. Then, the desolate bone relic would be completely refined sooner or later.
A Desolate Heaven Master who could refine high-ranked desolate beasts was definitely someone that many large factions would fight to rope in!
It was said that the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's Imperial Tutor was a Desolate Heaven Master. The status and glory he had was unimaginable to mortals.
In this world, there were many grades of desolate beasts. Some desolate beasts could overturn rivers and seas, and tear apart mountains and rivers. The desolate bones of these desolate beasts were even more difficult to refine. Most people could forget about it!
It was rumored that a Desolate Heaven Master with an unimaginable cultivation level had once set up a peerless array to refine the skeleton of an ancient desolate beast, the Purple Gold Qilin, for twelve years!
To refine a set of desolate bones in twelve years, and the person who did it had a mysterious identity. Such a legend naturally made people fascinated.
It was said that the refinement had turned the vast desolate plains into a desert. Finally, the Desolate Heaven Master had to pay a certain price to refine the desolate bone relic.
As for what he used the refined Purple Gold Qilin for, it was a matter of opinion. Some people said it was to save someone.
As for who the person was, there were more than a dozen versions of it. Every version was said to be true, such as the Desolate Heaven Master's daughter, the Desolate Heaven Master's lover, the Desolate Heaven Master's beloved disciple, etc.
This legend also proved how respected the Desolate Heaven Master was in the hearts of the people. Hence, they embellished their stories and passed it down by word of mouth.
This was also reasonable. The people living in the Great Desolate lived in extremely difficult conditions. They worshiped the strong and worshiped legendary figures. Even if they knew that it was impossible for them to become such people, listening to their legends was enough to excite them.
As for the Lian tribal clan, they were as small as an ant. Naturally, they could not afford to hire a Desolate Heaven Master. Even the lowest ranked Desolate Heaven Master was an existence they could not look up to.
Hence, they could only use the primitive method to refine the desolate bones.
Thankfully, the desolate bones they refined were of a low grade. Using the primitive method, they could barely refine out fifty to sixty percent of the essence from the desolate bones.
For Lian Chengyu, this was enough.
Be it day or night, the Lian tribal clan never stopped refining the desolate bones.
Especially at night, one could see the glaring purple flames from the burning of the Purple Fire Wood in any unobstructed spot in the village.
…
While the Lian tribal clan was refining the desolate bones day and night, Yi Yun was also cultivating day and night.
The back mountain of the Lian tribal clan was rarely visited by people, so it became the best place for Yi Yun to cultivate.
Yi Yun had been practicing 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist' for five days.
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
Yi Yun threw punch after punch. With every punch, his body would emit the sound of a bowstring. It was like the pulse of life.
Tree after tree was smashed by Yi Yun. Yi Yun's blood circulation sped up as he took in deep breaths. The blood vessels on his arms and fists bulged.
"Ha!"
Yi Yun shouted and punched the rock in front of him.
"Ka-cha!"
The rock shattered. The sound of Yi Yun's tendons cracking reached its peak!
"Rustle!"
In the forest, a flock of birds were startled and flapped their wings into the sky.
As they flew in a hurry, some of the leaves were knocked off by the birds. They scattered down and landed on Yi Yun's face.
At this moment, Yi Yun had a hearty feeling. It was as if all the energy in his body had been integrated in an instant. It was an indescribable feeling of comfort!
Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist's eighteen stances. Although he had not reached the stage of Startling Bow Drops Flock, he could still startle the birds in the forest, making them think that a hunter was hunting. It was already a great improvement.
One had to know that Yi Yun's current strength was still insufficient. He only had about five to six hundred pounds. If Yi Yun could reach several cauldrons of strength, or even ten thousand pounds of strength, then it would not be impossible for him to startle the flock!
Although it was only five to six hundred pounds of strength, if Yi Yun were to use Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain, his strength would be much more than that!
Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain used the tendons as the bowstring. The key was in storing energy. This punch, with the technique used, could produce a force of a few hundred pounds, enough to shatter a tiger's skull.
Yi Yun closed his eyes in satisfaction. He felt the power he had just obtained. The feeling of being integrated with his strength made him feel very comfortable.
Unknowingly, Yi Yun's breathing became long and slow. The blood flow in his body also began to change.
Well, this is …
Yi Yun looked at his hands. He realized that the bulging blood vessels on his arms had disappeared. His breathing became calmer and his heartbeat slowed down.
Yi Yun suddenly realized something. He stepped lightly on the ground, took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Whew!"
A white Qi shot forward like an arrow. It shot five to six meters away. The leaves that had fallen because of the birds were pierced through by the Qi and flew out.
"Vigor realm! I've finally stepped into the second stage of Mortal Blood, the Vigor realm! "
Vigor warriors had long breaths. Their heartbeats were slow and powerful. The biggest difference between them and a normal brave warrior was that Vigor warriors had strong endurance. They could fight for long periods of time and travel long distances.
For example, an army made up of Vigor warriors could travel hundreds of miles in a day on the battlefield, completing a thousand-mile surprise attack.
Yi Yun's breakthrough to the Vigor realm could be said to be a matter of course. When his body was trained to such a level, it was natural for him to break through.
"Since coming to this world, I've only been practicing martial arts for five days. To break through to the second stage of Mortal Blood in five days, and this Mortal Blood realm is just a stage to build a foundation for martial arts. I wonder what the future realms will be like. What level are the experts in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom at?"
Yi Yun had the Purple Card, so the energy he needed for cultivation was not a problem. The problem was the cultivation technique.
Without a cultivation technique to guide his cultivation, he would be like a chef with a pile of good ingredients, but without any cooking techniques, he would not be able to make a table of delicacies.
"Since I've entered the Vigor realm, I can try the third stance of the 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist'."
As Yi Yun muttered to himself, he saw that the eastern sky was beginning to turn bright. He leaped up and down the mountain quickly.
Along the way, Yi Yun slowed down when he passed by the grain-sunning grounds.
Under the thousand pound cauldron, the purple fire was burning fiercely. There were tall wooden fences erected in a twenty meter radius, preventing unrelated people from approaching.
Because of the wooden fences, Yi Yun could not see the situation inside. But he could feel the heat from the cauldron from afar.
However, for some unknown reason, Yi Yun felt a chill in the layers of heat waves.
Although the chill was not obvious, it was bone-chilling …
(In the future, the morning update will be changed to ten. The challenge of updating at eight is great. I won't be able to wake up if I sleep late + _ +)
