Chapter 44: Chapter 44 The Book of Bones

Night had passed, and dawn had broken.

The Black Mountain Small Meeting concluded smoothly, with no occurrences of magical duels or murders.

Two streaks of light flew above Black Wind Ridge. Fei Luan, looking in the direction Zhong Shenxiu had departed, asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

"This person is no ordinary individual."

White Bone Scholar toyed with a jade vial in his hand, "According to previous reports, Young Master Shen Xiu had cultivated at least two Divine Skills, one to control spirits and another to teleport through voids. The latter involves the void, so it must be a superior Divine Skill!"

"It seems his combat power is extraordinary, and our step here was not mistaken," Fei Luan muttered to himself.

"This person’s background is mysterious, and not just that."

White Bone Scholar opened the jade vial and took a light sniff, his face showing intoxication: "This Xuanyin Sha Qi is indeed pure and even carries a hint of the aura of Nine Netherworld. It’s definitely not condensed from ordinary leyline evil caves but comes from the Nine Netherworld!"

"This person has even explored the Netherworld?" Fei Luan was incredibly surprised.

Even many Superpower Experts were unable to accomplish this.

"He probably cultivated some special Cultivation Technique or Divine Skill... Hehe, I heard Central Earth has also been unsettled recently, with the Yellow Spring Demon Sect emerging. This Young Master Shen Xiu was previously unknown, and the two cases might not be unrelated."

White Bone Scholar said with a smiling tone, which instead caused Fei Luan’s face to show much worry.

...

Sweet Water Alley Mansion.

Zhong Shenxiu reverted to Su Daoshi’s appearance, toying with a White Bone Dao Book in his hand.

"An aura of Xuanyin Sha in exchange for half of the ’White Bone Book’, it seems I still came out ahead."

The White Bone Book, which was the heritage of White Bone Scholar, was truly valuable as it encompassed everything, despite being only half-complete—it was half sold, half given.

Zhong Shenxiu had racked his brain for many days, and finally saw a bit of what a complete heritage should look like.

This half of the Dao Book started from cultivating the Innate and began with a set of White Bone Grappling Hand for body forging and killing foes, and the White Bone Yin Demon Skill for cultivating White Bone True Qi.

When the White Bone True Qi was fully cultivated and the cultivator reached the limit of the Innate, one would then cultivate the ’White Bone Visualization Method’, visualizing a White Bone Demon God to infuse their own body, purify the Qi of heaven and earth, merge it with their True Qi, and cultivate White Bone Mana.

In terms of purity, this White Bone Mana naturally far outstripped that of the Yellow Sand Saint and paired perfectly with several White Bone Magic described in the Dao Book.

Such as Three Yin Bone Searching Claw, White Bone Armor, Innate White Bone Great Capture, Hundred Bone War Chariot, Thousand Bone Hundred Demon Hammer, and so on...

Apart from these, there were also two magic artifacts, the White Bone Banner and the ritual method for refining the Hundred Bone Demon.

For an ordinary martial artist, obtaining this would be like finding a shortcut to heaven.

As for how to combine several White Bone Magic into a Great Divine Power, breaking through to the Divine Power Realm, and what to cultivate after reaching the Divine Power Realm, how to condense a Primordial Pill, the content continued in the latter half of the book.

"So this was their way of making sure I took the bait."

Zhong Shenxiu murmured, "We are all in the Divine Power Realm; he isn’t afraid that I’ll cunningly steal the complete set, as long as he still wants to train that descendant, in the end, he’ll have to come to me, right?"

The other party had given him a way to contact, clearly planning to strengthen ties in the future.

This White Bone Book could be considered merely a gift.

What they truly cared about was the condensation of the Primordial Pill!

After all, ordinary Gang Sha Realm cultivators lived only a little over a hundred years, reaching one hundred fifty was considered a long life. Meanwhile, the lifespan of Divine Power Realm Cultivators almost doubled.

If one could become a Primordial Pill Ancestor, that would comfortably grant them over five hundred years of life.

With supreme mana and Divine Skills, it was truly enticing.

"The Daoist Skill of the White Bone Scholar could only be cultivated up to the Primordial Pill stage, but that’s not too bad. It barely meets my requirements,"

Zhong Shenxiu sought that supreme True Inheritance which leads directly to becoming an Immortal.

"Unfortunately, it’s just a dream. Moreover, I only have half of the White Bone Dao Book. The remaining half will likely require me to collaborate with them on certain matters before they give it to me."

Zhong Shenxiu frowned, plotting against a peak Divine Power Expert was no trivial matter.

Moreover, those two had only mentioned the name of Dragon and Tiger True Man, without discussing anything else.

But Zhong Shenxiu really dared not get involved in such matters.

He even hesitated to engage with a Divine Power Practitioner.

Once a confrontation started, his fake identity would probably be exposed...

Gang Sha Cultivators might not notice that he’s not using Divine Skills, but Superpower Experts certainly would.

Being discovered as a western professional in a country full of eastern Cultivators could lead to unpredictable consequences.

In fact, if it weren’t for the Black Fog blockade, Zhong Shenxiu would have done better by directly moving to the west.

Unfortunately, in this eastern world, the Pastor’s potential had diminished, and he still needed to focus on Daoist Skills.

"I finally have a method to enter the Dao, but it’s a pity I can’t cultivate the White Bone Visualization Method, or I would have really sealed the deal."

Zhong Shenxiu sighed, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

His identity must not be discovered; silencing anyone who finds out would suffice.

After all, based on the spell itself, the White Bone Scholar hadn’t refrained from slaughtering living beings to cultivate; they weren’t innocent.

Once he assimilated their soul, he could interrogate them for more information!

"I still need to fool them a bit first, and incidentally fish for some intelligence..."

Zhong Shenxiu thought to himself, "Maybe... when the time is right, I could reveal this big event? Report it to Feng Xixi... Although I’m not clear of scrutiny myself, if I can claim this big achievement, perhaps my prospects will improve?"

He felt that the Fufeng Protectorate had begun to surge with undercurrents again.

After all, it’s a world where great power is vested in individuals.

Once certain people make major breakthroughs in their cultivation, it can cause drastic changes to the situation.

...

The next day, Zhong Shenxiu went directly to seek an audience with Feng Xixi.

Though Young Master Shen Xiu was a Loose Cultivator, Su Daoshi was a formally appointed official with backing from above.

"What? You want to access the records of all the Loose Cultivators of the Fufeng Protectorate?"

Feng Xixi frowned upon hearing the request, "What’s happened?"

"According to my investigation, at yesterday’s Black Mountain Small Meeting, Young Master Shen Xiu appeared again and had a secret discussion with two Divine Power Practitioners, the White Bone Scholar and Fei Luan. I believe that anything that brings together three Divine Power Practitioners is no ordinary matter and could easily lead to disaster. It must be thoroughly investigated,"

Zhong Shenxiu stated seriously.

Feng Xixi’s eyes sparkled, "It seems you ventured alone into danger last night by entering the Black Mountain Small Meeting to gather intelligence... Hehe... much better than those who only know how to send people to their deaths. You’re right... I’ll write you an order. With it, you can access all Loose Cultivator records. Go carefully investigate and report immediately if you discover anything."

"As you command!"

Zhong Shenxiu bowed again, took the order, and left the tent.

The official intelligence would certainly be very detailed.

With this and some inadvertently revealed information from the White Bone Scholar and others, he might find some leads.
