The Forest of Death, Skull Hill

As the qi vault disappeared, Jian Chen and Xiao Yu were stunned by what they saw.

“Jian Chen, did my eyes see wrong? Is this possible?” Xiao Yu asked as he stared at something hidden within the qi dome.

“You didn't see wrong. I did not expect that this place Skull Hill would hide something like this. But I still wonder who left this thing here. After all, this is according to the name of this place, the peak also has the same thing even though it may be something very unexpected.” Reply Jian Chen as he stared at the thing before him.

Within a distance of over 10 meters from Jian Chen and Xiao Yu, a golden-colored bone skeleton was seen.

Anyone who stared at the ten meter tall skeleton would definitely instantly guess what the bones were.

“I did not expect that the creatures that are in the legends actually exist. Unmistakably, if this bone had flesh and skin, it was certain that it must be a Dragon spirit beast!” xiao Yu said in a tone of admiration as he gazed towards the golden-coloured bones.

“Ya.” Jian Chen nodded in agreement. But he did not understand how the animal had bones that looked gold or indeed from the beginning the bones had melted with gold so as to maintain the bones so as not to porous.

Moreover, Jian Chen had checked with the Eternal Purple Crystal that the bones contained an unusually large qi. Even for Xiao Yu and Hui-Ying could also sense the qi clearly.

“Jian Chen, can we..” Xiao Yu stopped his words then looked towards Jian Chen with an excited look.

“Yes. It can be used freely. I don't understand why, but this bone produces a very pure qi, purer than the qi that resides in heaven and earth. It can be ascertained, this is the qi stored by the skeletal bones while this creature is still alive.”

“In other words, it's like our own. Our bodies contain very pure qi, even if it is very small. But this bone has a huge amount of pure qi and it is certain that this spirit beast in the past has reached a terrifying level of height on the path of cultivation.” Jian Chen smiled slightly as he said that.

“If so, don't waste any more time. Let's absorb all this qi. Although I suspect that the amount of qi only remains a little after the passage of time, this can still make us break through cultivation.” Jian Chen said and slowly walked towards that skeletal bone which still showed the posture of a standing spirit animal.

Xiao Yu also directly came to that bone skeleton. He wasted no time and started cultivating. Using the manual created by Jian Chen, he was confident in himself, Jian Chen and Hui-Ying, respectively, they would absorb all the qi in the skeletal bones in about a day at most or even just half a day.

Looking at Xiao Yu who was unwilling to waste time, Jian Chen also sat down cross-legged and took Hui-Ying out from inside his clothes.

“Hui-Ying, although you prefer to eat something to increase strength, do not ignore resources like this. Your strength will increase greatly because your cultivation is now a first stage Martial Master.” Jian Chen also taught Hui-Ying not to be picky because he knew clearly the little tiger was very fond of devouring something, this was the instinct of spirit animals.

“Do not like that. When you're stronger, you'll find it easier to hunt.” Jian Chen tried to convince Hui-Ying again. He would of course speak patiently because Hui-Ying was still very young. It's like a child who has to be persuaded to do something.

Hearing what Jian Chen said, Hui-Ying's eyes brightened slightly and he nodded his head. He began to sit on the ground in a sleeping position and at that moment, the qi coming from the bones slowly seeped into his body.

Staring at that, Jian Chen smiled slightly. He knew that Hui-Ying had his own way of absorbing qi just like any other spirit animal or plant unlike humans who had to use a cultivation manual in order for the younger ones to absorb qi in heaven and earth.

Jian Chen's eyes slightly shone at this moment and instantly controlled the Eternal Purple Crystal present within his body. He did not know how much he increased his cultivation although he was sure that it was at least two stages. If only the bone had the original amount of qi in it, then it could certainly take about months of absorbing the qi contained.

Right now the bones had lost most of the qi in them but it was enough to increase cultivation in a large amount although the current Jian Chen shared with Xiao Yu and Hui-Ying.

The Eternal Purple Crystal slowly absorbed the qi and transferred it to Jian Chen's body. At that very instant, he closed his eyes and started cultivating.

Jian Chen who was concentrating on absorbing the qi frowned slightly as he found something else from the qi.

Even Xiao Yu also felt the same way but for Hui-Ying, it was not the same as she was a spirit animal.

What Jian Chen and Xiao Yu discovered made both of them excited. This is because the qi contains special energy or rather special elements used by creatures that are now only skulls. Although it was very vague, Jian Chen and Xiao Yu had thought of something since the two had discussed this matter before.

Cracks! Cracks!

The skeletal bones seemed to crack and gave rise to their true color as the qi within was absorbed at high speed by the three. Not a cracked bone, but the surface, the bone is indeed white but there are other color spots on the surface of the bone.

Jian Chen's Azure Sword slowly shone while to Xiao Yu, his two White Daggers appeared right before him.

The two Birth Weapons greedily absorbed the aura of the other that was a little similar to qi, it was the element used by the creature that had now become the bone.

Jian Chen who was concentrating could not help but smile as he finally obtained the evolution key of the Birth Weapon. This was an advanced evolution for all Birth Weapon owners in order to be able to use external elements to strengthen attacks.
