CHAPTER 66: CHAPTER 66: TEN THOUSAND SWORDS RESONATING, IRON BONES PERFECTED

Jiangshan Imperial View, No. 168.

Xu Yunxi and Uncle Yuan stood on the perimeter, while Xu Yuebing was visibly anxious, frequently standing on tiptoe trying to peer inside: "Sis, do you think he can do it?"

"I mentioned finding someone to help him, but Ye Qingzhou refused."

Xu Yunxi shook her head, feeling somewhat helpless inside: "Now we have no choice but to trust him. All we can do is assist him in guarding the area."

"Hmph, that guy, he’s always so self-righteous."

Though Xu Yuebing complained disdainfully, she couldn’t help but worry about Ye Qingzhou’s safety in her heart.

Xu Yunxi observed this, and smiled indifferently: "Geniuses, they inevitably have a bit of pride."

At this moment, inside the villa.

Ye Qingzhou had arranged the Gold Vitality Flower, Jade Bone Flower, Salvia Root, Dragon Beard Grass, and Divine Gold all around himself. Using the techniques he learned in his Medical Skill classes, he began processing these exotic treasures.

Exotic treasures are special items that contain Primordial Qi, including both biological like animals and plants, and inanimate objects like minerals.

When combined with different objects, Primordial Qi manifests different characteristics, an incredible myriad transformation.

Ye Qingzhou first activated Wind’s Inner Breath to perceive the medicinal Qi inside the exotic treasures. With his innovative and subtle abilities and Wind Force Mastery, he quickly locked onto his target.

He then used Fire’s Inner Breath to stimulate the medicinal effects, refining and purifying them, followed by Mountain’s Inner Breath to stabilize the properties, before finally using Forest’s Inner Breath to absorb the medicinal powers, letting it permeate throughout his skeletal structure.

Lastly, using one hard and one soft technique—Yin Skill and Thunderous Technique—as ruler and minister, he balanced the inherent toxicity and the conflict of medicinal properties within the exotic treasures.

Undoubtedly, this was a meticulous task that not only required full concentration but also sophisticated skills and stability.

Previously, Lei Ying took Leon to the Jishi Medical Association branch in Linjiang City for bone forging, inviting five physicians with Professional Level Martial Artist strength to help. The six worked together to finally help Leon forge superior Blazing Heart Thunder Bone.

These five Professional Martial Artists, along with Lei Ying herself, had each mastered a specific one of the six techniques: wind, fire, mountain, forest, yin, and thunder, to the Perfection Realm.

The six of them spent nearly half a month working together to complete the bone forging for Leon, bit by bit.

However, Ye Qingzhou did not need such trouble; his Wind Force had already reached the Mastery level. His nerve reflexes were unbelievably fast, and his perception greatly enhanced—a single person’s strength compared to six.

Moreover, since the other five techniques had also reached the Perfection Realm, his efficiency in bone forging was not only higher, but the effects surpassed that of five people working together.

As Ye Qingzhou finished absorbing the Gold Vitality Flower, Jade Bone Flower, Salvia Root, and Dragon Beard Grass, and prepared to finally refine and absorb the Divine Gold, the Dragon Abyss Sword hanging on the wall suddenly trembled violently.

Buzz~

A majestic and earth-shattering Sword Qi shot straight out, striking the Divine Gold in Ye Qingzhou’s hands.

Clang~

A resonance like the deep ringing of a great bell caused the villa’s windows to rattle loudly.

The commotion was such that even Xu Yuebing and the others outside were startled.

"Did something happen?"

Xu Yuebing was extremely anxious, her palms sweating.

"Don’t act impulsively. I used the Mid-Tier Martial Technique ’With the Wind into the Night’ to sense slightly; Ye Qingzhou is okay."

Although she didn’t know what Ye Qingzhou was up to, Xu Yunxi chose to respect Ye Qingzhou’s privacy. After all, who doesn’t have their own little secrets these days?

She didn’t pry even back when the martial techniques on the Divine Sword Jade Scroll were involved.

In interpersonal relationships, besides goodwill and malice, maintaining boundaries is important, not crossing the line.

Following that, there was a series of eight consecutive resonating rings, totaling nine chimes, before the "bell sound" finally ceased.

Inside the villa, Ye Qingzhou’s mind was entirely immersed in the Divine Gold in his hands. With Dragon Abyss emitting nine consecutive bouts of Sword Qi, the impact seemed to have caused some indescribable, wondrous change within the Divine Gold.

The original Radiant Gold color, after the nine chimes, astonishingly transformed into a brilliant azure gold, as if coming to life—turning from a lifeless ore into a vibrant metal, with a visibly substantial quality improvement!

If Xu Yunxi were to see this, she would certainly exclaim it’s an Earth Treasure Level Exotic Treasure!

According to Dongji Kingdom’s official standards.

Lower Grade Treasures, the price is generally regulated, becoming affordable for cultivation and breeding, such as Iron Feather Chicken or Jade Red Grass, with market prices ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.

Although still expensive, ordinary people could still purchase it with some effort.

Middle Grade Treasures remain very costly, with the cheapest starting from fifty to sixty thousand yuan, with some going for millions.

To most ordinary people, they are almost unattainable luxury items.

As for Upper Grade Treasures, without assets totaling over ten million, it’s best not to ask, and often, such treasures have a price but no market.

Those without connections couldn’t buy them, even with money!

And treasures above Upper Grade Treasures are known as ’Earth Treasures,’ which can’t be measured by money. Even the country’s reserve is limited, making them strategic resources.

Earth Treasure Level exotic treasures cause fierce competition every time they appear.

The Divine Gold in Ye Qingzhou’s hand now was an Earth Treasure Level one—using such material for Tier One Bone Forging wasn’t merely extravagant.

Though Ye Qingzhou didn’t know the rarity and value of Earth Treasure Level Exotic Treasures, he could still sense that the item in front of him was indeed a great treasure.

And great treasures should be fully utilized for oneself!

Fire’s Inner Breath, activate!

The refined Divine Gold quickly transformed into a mass of azure-gold liquid in front of Ye Qingzhou.

Subsequently, it trickled in drop by drop, slowly "flowing" into Ye Qingzhou’s body.

Each drop was cautiously wrapped and suppressed by Mountain’s Inner Breath; otherwise, if it leaked, it could surely turn into a fragrant "acquaintance."

Sizzle~

As the Divine Gold entered his body, it began to infiltrate the bones, and the intense sharp pain caused Ye Qingzhou to sweat all over.

Plating the bones with gold, this sensation might only be understood by the Wolverine from those Western comics.

Fortunately, martial artists have extremely strong regenerative abilities, and Ye Qingzhou had previously absorbed the medicinal power from the Gold Vitality Flower, Jade Bone Flower, Salvia Root, and Dragon Beard Grass, fortifying him with ample vitality to withstand such trials.

The excruciating torment lasted a full seventy hours continuously.

Three days later, Ye Qingzhou appeared visibly thinner, almost skin and bones.

Yet his mental state was unprecedentedly good!

In cultivation, those who attain enlightenment through rigorous practice are often said to undergo a spiritual and physical rebirth.

And now, Ye Qingzhou had truly achieved such a transformation.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze shone like stars, and wherever his divine thought extended, every metal object in the villa began to hum and resonate.

Even outside, the swords worn by Xu Yuebing and Xu Yunxi trembled continuously as if responding to something.

Their eyes brightened, and after exchanging glances, they simultaneously smiled: "Ten Thousand Swords Resonating, Iron Bone Mastery! Who would have thought, Ye Qingzhou’s Martial Bone would be Perfect Level above Upper!"
