Chapter 256 – Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, Beast Plague!

Chapter 256 – Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, Beast Plague!

“Boom boom boom!”

Inside the closed cave, Lu Changsheng’s sternum was constantly glowing, as tadpole-like symbols of bone text intertwined, interpreted, and blossomed.

As the Essence Treasure Bone took shape, Lu Changsheng’s blood qi rolled and his mana boiled and surged.

Every inch of skin, every inch of flesh and blood, bones, sinews, dantian, and even the dao foundation, all seemed to be being baptized.

His figure was seated, his eyes closed tightly, the nine-colored precious light of his muscles flowed, blazing incomparably, and the whole person was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring, quietly experiencing this subtle baptism.

“Buzz–“

There was no telling how long it had been, but Lu Changsheng’s barrier at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment appeared to loosen.

The Seven Observations Great Selfless Sword Scripture began to operate, and the Seven Observations Sword Qi came out through his body, lingering around his body, lingering and overbearing, with a sharp and ethereal edge.

“Hoo hoo hoo–“

Under the strong spiritual pressure from the outside world, a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi converged on the dantian and was continuously refined into liquid mana.

“Boom!”

When the liquid mana reached four hundred drops, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level broke through from the fourth level of Foundation Establishment to the fifth level.

“I didn’t expect that melting and refining the Essence Treasure Bone would lead to a breakthrough in the realm.”

“No, it’s the melting and refining of the Tong Tian Spiritual Treasure into an Intrinsic Treasure Bone, so that my fleshly body, mana, and divine sense will all be baptized and upgraded.”

“If it wasn’t for the fact that it wasn’t long before my Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Technique broke through the sixth layer, I might have been able to break through as well.”

Lu Changsheng’s face was smiling, his eyes blazing and deep as he muttered under his breath.

He could clearly realize that not only did his cultivation realm break through, but his physical body and divine sense were all enhanced.

The progress of the Hundred Refined Treasure Body Technique was directly increased by half.

And the divine sense, from the original two hundred and thirty zhang almost raised to two hundred and eighty zhang.

This divine sense was almost at the limit of peak Foundation Establishment.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much about it and closed his eyes again, quietly experiencing the changes in the Essence Treasure Bone in his chest.

A little bit of time passed.

Three days later, the divine light on Lu Changsheng’s chest gradually turned inward, and the precious light flowing from his muscles gradually dimmed.

“Nine Treasures of Jade Ruyi, since this is the case, this Born Treasure Bone will be the Nine Treasures of Ruyi Bone!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, his eyes were like stars, very brilliant, his palms gently caressed the treasure bone in his chest, only to feel that it was filled with surging power.

Even he, himself, had some heart palpitations in the face of this horrendous power.

“Nine Treasures Ruyi – Essence, Qi, and Spirit!”

Lu Changsheng attempted to activate the three great divine abilities in the Essence Treasure Bone.

In an instant, the chest bone runes intertwined and burst into radiant light, and Lu Changsheng’s body’s qi, blood, mana, and divine sense roared like a tsunami.

Double the increase!

Twice the increase!

Triple increase!

Endless blazing qi erupted within Lu Changsheng’s body, causing his muscles to bulge, almost growing a circle, his bones ‘clicking’, and his entire body was like a volcano erupting, his breath climbing up.

The seven obsidian mana within the dantian was like a river breaking its banks, rushing and surging, filling the meridians and dantian, exuding a terrifying spiritual pressure that almost surpassed the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The Xuan Yuan Bead in his body was also trembling crazily at this moment, bringing about an increase effect that began to weaken continuously.

Quadruple increase!

Five-fold increase!

Along with the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone being continuously urged, the precious light of Lu Changsheng’s muscle body flowed like a round of radiant blazing sun, and there were densely-packed runic symbols emerging.

“Is this the power of the Avatar!?”

Lu Changsheng marveled, feeling that he was simply filled with power and invincible at this moment.

Not only flesh, mana.

Divine Sense was also like an ocean at this moment, as if it had an overview of the entire Biyun Peak situation.

However, he could clearly feel that his physical body, meridians, dantian, and divine soul were in a state of load.

He immediately stopped the divine power of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, and the spiritual pressure in his body receded like a tidal wave, causing Lu Changsheng’s body to be weak and empty.

“With my current physical body, meridians to withstand, under normal circumstances, a two or three times increase would be about right.”

“If you raise it too much, it will cause a load on yourself, and if you push it to the extreme, after a long time, I’m afraid that there will be a shattering of the flesh, the meridians and the dantian.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath before letting it out in a long exhale.

Knowing that the use of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone was related to one’s own physical body, the realm of the Hundred Refined Treasure Body Technique.

“But two or three times is enough, in this state, with the Xuan Yuan Bead’s increase effect still in place, facing the False Dan shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Moreover, as long as the mana, divine sense is increased, the power of my rune array aspect will also be raised by a level!”

The corners of Lu Changsheng’s mouth rose into a smile.

With the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, he was confident that killing a Foundation Establishment was like killing a chicken.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to talk about if you kill a False Dan Realist.

As for the JieDan real person, if one’s own means were exhausted, not to mention decapitation, how could one also have the power to fight!

Looking at the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone in front of his chest, Lu Changsheng’s mind moved again.

“Nine Treasures Ruyi – Sealed!”

Lu Changsheng operated the seventh divine ability of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, the Sealing Divine Light, to partially seal his physical body, his mana.

In an instant, there was a dark golden light flowing from his sternum, causing his entire qi and blood to dull, and his bones to become sparse and his muscles to become limp.

The mana of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment also continued to regress, falling to the state of Foundation Establishment Instability.

“Hiss, this feeling, it’s pretty hard.”

“Even the nightly defense of the ten women didn’t feel this weak.”

After Lu Changsheng used the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to seal his flesh, qi and blood, and part of his cultivation mana, he felt uncomfortable.

It was as if he had consumed his lifespan, and after the Origin Essence finished healing for Ling Zixiao, his mental state was atrophied.

However, when viewed through Divine Sense Detection, he really couldn’t tell that he had a Body Refining, mid Foundation Establishment cultivation.

It meant that this Benthic Avatar was still something.

“Although this sealed state can be unlocked at any time, it will still be dangerous if it encounters an unsuspected, sudden killing opportunity.”

Lu Changsheng was the first to realize where the shortcomings of the Light of Sealing lay.

If he sealed all the power of his physical body, he would easily be broken through the defense if he encountered some danger.

Or perhaps the mana shield was inspired in haste and could not push the shield’s power to the extreme in an instant.

“Normally, there’s no need for a ban.”

“Also, the Light of Sealing consumes mana.”

Lu Changsheng’s mind moved and unlocked his state.

It felt better to seal the status down again when needed, otherwise it was a bit suffocating to keep it that way.

After roughly experiencing the effects of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, Lu Changsheng resumed his seated position, closing his eyes and regulating his breath to consolidate his state.

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng got up and walked out of the cave.

“Lang!”

“Nagisa!”

Outside the cave, Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xi Yue immediately looked concerned when they saw Lu Changsheng come out.

“Uh, Zixiao, Xiyue, is something wrong?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised to see the two women waiting outside and said.

“Lang Jun made quite a commotion earlier, so Fellow Daoist Xiao and I were worried that there might be some unforeseen circumstances, so we waited here.”

Ling Zixiao’s face was pale and elegant as she said with a light smile.

The words sized up Lu Changsheng in front of him.

Although there was no obvious change in Lu Changsheng’s appearance and breath.

However, she was able to tell that Lu Changsheng was full of vigor, his eyes were glowing, and he was obviously in excellent condition.

“Making a lot of noise?”

Lu Changsheng was shocked at his words and guessed that it was caused by his own melting and refining of the Essence Treasure Bone.

“That’s right.”

Xiao Xi Yue’s voice was clear and moving as she spoke out to tell the situation that day.

“I’ve made you all worry, I’m cultivating a divine ability.”

“I finally practiced a few days ago, that’s why I made a little noise.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light smile.

He didn’t expect that his melting and refining of the Essence Treasure Bone would actually cause such a big commotion effect.

At the time, he was so engrossed in his whole being that he didn’t realize as much.

It also made him secretly realize that being in his own home was convenient.

If he was outside, or on Green Bamboo Mountain, it would not be easy to explain this kind of commotion, and he would easily get into trouble.

“Avatar!?”

When Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xi Yue heard these words, both of their eyes showed surprise, a look of astonishment.

Spells are categorized as beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Above the advanced spells are the divine powers!

Divine power, only a JieDan real person at this level could cultivate and master it!

Like a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was simply impossible to cultivate divine abilities.

Unless one is gifted and born with natural aptitude!

But natural aptitudes were very rare, countless times rarer than spirit bodies.

And this mostly appears in demonic beasts.

Like some demonic beasts with a noble bloodline, they might awaken some kind of natural aptitude after they have achieved cultivation.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng actually said that he had cultivated a divine ability, causing the two women to be astonished beyond measure.

“That’s right, Zixiao, this divine ability has healing effects, let’s go, let me see if it has any help for your meridians and dantians.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t explain too much and spoke out towards Ling Zixiao.

He wanted to try to use the fifth divine ability of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to heal Ling Zixiao.

“The healing effect?”

Ling Zixiao’s heart trembled at the words.

I didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to cultivate into a divine ability, and the first thing he thought about was healing his meridians and dantians.

This made her ponder, Lu Changsheng’s divine ability, could it be that he was cultivating it just for himself.

Not that she was self-absorbed.

Totally Lu Changsheng’s character, it really seemed to her that he could do such a thing.

Also too, as far as she knew, most cultivators practiced art and magic aptitudes, and all of them practiced killing and protecting aptitudes.

Unless the feats are incidental or a healer, a pharmacist, one rarely cultivates healing aspects of the arts and aptitudes.

After all, every Artistic Avatar consumed time and energy.

And for Lu Changsheng, as a sword cultivator, to cultivate a healing aptitude for no reason really made her unable to think of any other reason other than this possibility.

“Here, Heiyue, you take a look too.”

Lu Changsheng pulled the two women to the cave and had Ling Zixiao lie on the soft white jade bed.

“Zixiao, relax.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Ling Zixiao on the bed and couch, her face elegant, her curves plump and wonderful, and said in a warm voice.

He then took a deep breath and operated the Intrinsic Treasure Bone, and his chest erupted with brilliant life holy light, enveloping Ling Zixiao.

“Well~”

Ling Zixiao seemed to be immersed in the fountain of life, his body was tingling, his withered and damaged meridians, and his dantian was nourished as if it was nourished by a mother’s fetus under this life essence.

“Shout!”

Seeing that the situation was effective, Lu Changsheng operated the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to the extreme.

The chest erupted with endless radiant light, as one after another mysterious and subtle runes emerged, intertwined and bloomed, containing secret powers that made it difficult to describe, and entered Ling Zixiao’s body.

“This.”

When Xiao Xiyue, who was next to her, saw this scene, her cool and absolutely beautiful face revealed a look of surprise.

She hadn’t observed the Avatar up close though.

However, through this radiant spiritual light, a mysterious and arcane rune that seemed to contain the Great Dao, it was also known that this divine ability of Lu Changsheng was quite extraordinary.

Lu Changsheng urged the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone with all his might, and the mana in his body was like flowing water, pouring out and consuming madly.

After a few moments, most of the mana was consumed, and even a few feelings of exhaustion arose in himself.

The fifth divine ability of this Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone was to refine itself into a divine medicine, consuming not only mana but also essence essence.

Under the healing divine light, Ling Zixiao was surrounded by auspicious light, and a few more shades of blood were visible to the naked eye on her pale face.

It was because this treatment, was not treating her meridians and dantians alone.

The process would also nourish her flesh, her qi, her blood, her dark wounds, every aspect.

“Whew!”

After lasting for half a quarter of an hour, Lu Changsheng’s mana was almost exhausted and stopped the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, and the whole person exhaled with some fatigue.

He looked toward Ling Zixiao and inquired with concern, “Zixiao, how are you feeling?”

“There is a noticeable reduction in the meridian dantian, and the whole person is much more relaxed and comfortable.”

“At this rate, I estimate that it will only take three to five years for my meridian dantian situation to be resolved.”

Ling Zixiao pursed her lips lightly and smiled sweetly.

She had been heavily injured before and relied on Lu Miaogao’s Taiyi True Water to renew her life before stabilizing her situation.

Even with Lu Miaogue and Lu Changsheng’s help, it would still take more than ten years before they could hopefully recover.

But under Lu Changsheng’s treatment just now, she felt a few immediate effects.

It was estimated that in just three to five years, the withered meridians and dantians would be restored and cultivation would begin again.

She sat up and embraced Lu Changsheng with tenderness in her eyes, her voice twanging softly as she said, “It’s been hard on Lu Lang.”

“Oh, it’s good that it’s working.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face as well.

This Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone treats the physical body and Yuan Shen, and he was really afraid that he wouldn’t be able to solve the problem of Ling Zixiao’s meridians and dantian.

After all, in the Immortal Cultivation World, meridians and dantians had always been a big problem.

Immediately, the three of them chatted about family matters, and Lu Changsheng inquired about the recent situation at Ling Zixiao’s home.

Although he wasn’t in seclusion for half a year, these latter months were spent in seclusion.

Ling Zixiao told Lu Changsheng that there was nothing going on in the family, just a short while ago the Zheng family and the Xu family tied the knot, and his own family had a gift sent to them.

Instead, there was a major event in the Realm of the Royal Spirit Sect.

“What’s the big deal?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit curious when he heard this.

“There was a once-in-a-century beast disaster in the Royal Spirit Sect, and rumor has it that a JieDan Elder Ancestor died in this beast disaster.”

Ling Zixiao spoke out and said so.

“The Jiedan Ancestor is dead?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised when he heard this.

The Basic Plate of the Royal Spirit Sect was close to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and bordered the Green Luan Immortal City, so it could be said that it was a stronghold to stop the beast tide.

These beastly waves occur every few years, or decades.

Despite the danger, there would still be many cultivators who would specialize in going there.

After all, the emergence of the beast tide was also a combination of risk and opportunity, being able to hunt down many demonic beasts that were rare to see on a normal day, and even obtaining second-order special demonic cores to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, this beast tide had actually caused the death of a JieDan Elder of the Royal Spirit Sect, which was horrifying.

One must know that the Royal Spirit Sect was famous for its beasts and dared to establish workshop strongholds in many passes of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, so it naturally had a way of dealing with demonic beasts.

“That’s right, but the specifics are not too clear to my concubine.”

Ling Zixiao shook her head and said softly.

“At this time, I heard that there was collusion between the Devil Dao and the Demon King to lay an ambush, which is why it led to the death of the Imperial Spirit Sect’s JieDan Ancestor.”

Xiao Xi Yue spoke out.

Although she was sitting at Mount Bihu, she still had the Qing Yun Sect’s news channels.

“Will this beast tide affect Qingluan Immortal City?”

Lu Changsheng inquired.

The border of the Royal Spirit Sect’s territory and the Green Luan Immortal City were bordering each other, and this beast tide was so horrible that it would probably spread to the Green Luan Immortal City, making him think of his best friend, Li Feiyu.

Two years ago, he had written to Knight Fei Yu, but had yet to receive a reply, so he was a bit worried about the situation.

“It’s hard to say, this beast tide should be referred to as a beast disaster, and there’s a high probability that Qingluan Immortal City will be affected by the ripple effect.”

Xiao Xi Yue said softly.

“What’s wrong, Lang?”

Ling Zixiao inquired when she saw that Lu Changsheng had a few different colors.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that I have a close friend who lives in Qingluan Immortal City.”

“He is the one who hunts and kills demonic beasts for a living, so hearing about this matter, I’m a bit worried about his situation.”

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.

“Fellow Daoist Knight has been walking the rivers and lakes since he was young and is not the type of person who would risk his life, so I don’t think there will be any danger.”

Xiao Xi Yue knew that Lu Chang Sheng was talking about Li Fei Yu and spoke out to comfort him.

“I hope so.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

Only a few letters have been written over the years as letters are very inconvenient.

Li Feiyu didn’t say anything about sorrow though, indicating that he was doing well.

Even the last time he wrote, he indicated that he had already broken through the late stage of Qi Refining.

But Lu Changsheng knew through this content that Li Feiyu was definitely fighting for his life, pinning his head on the waistband of his pants.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to break through to the late Qi Refining stage so quickly.

Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to chat much on this topic, chatting about other topics, inquiring about the spiritual body aspect, and then asking the two girls if they had ever heard of the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body.

“Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body?”

The two women shook their heads, both stating that they had never heard of this spirit body.

In response, Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to ask more questions.

After chatting for a while, he walked out of the Hall of Eternal Life and went to the Lu family mansion to accompany his other concubines and children.

During the process, he was concerned about the progress of Lu Miaoyun’s Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.

Currently, Lu Miaoyun had already comprehended the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.

The next thing to do is to wash the spirit plant daily through spiritual energy, essence and blood to establish a connection.

Once the connection was established, one could refine the Spiritual Plants of Heaven and Earth into a ‘Native Spiritual Root’ and begin cultivation.

This process, somewhat similar to Lu Changsheng melting and refining the Essence Treasure Bone, was very time-consuming.

According to Lu Miaoyun’s own feeling, if she wanted to establish a connection, she would need a year or two.

As for refining it into an Essence Spiritual Root, she wasn’t too sure.

In response, Lu Changsheng also comforted her that there was no need to rush and to take her time.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng also cared to find out about Bai Ling’s situation.

White Spirit stated that he estimated that in another month, he would be able to transform all of his mana into the Black Dragon Codex.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng complimented the little girl and rewarded her as well as Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen and the others properly that night.
