"Who... who... who are you..."
At this mont, Wu Bing had not yet recovered from his fear, assuming that Qinchuan was also there to press him about the whereabouts of the stone coffin.
"What's important is not who I am, but that I saved your life."
Qinchuan stated indifferently.
"I truly have no knowledge of the stone coffin's whereabouts, I beg you, young master, to spare !" At this ti, Wu Bing, still fixated on the millions of Mysterious Crystals and the Supre Dao Artifact, lied.
"Truly bewitched, even now you seek to deceive ."
Qinchuan glanced at him sidelong and said impassively, "But it doesn't matter if you don't tell , as I already know.
Head eastward to the sea into the Endless Sea Domain, amidst the vast expanse lies an island called Divine Demon Island, and on the island, there's a mountain range known as Crystal Mountain – that's where you're from."
Qinchuan paused and gave him a glance, "What I didn't expect was that the Bronze Stone Coffin had already flown out of the Dongju Continent and arrived at Crystal Mountain on Divine Demon Island."
After Qinchuan finished, Wu Bing suddenly felt as if he had seen a ghost.
"How... how... how do you know?"
At the very mont Wu Bing was surrounded by the four individuals, during his fear and panic, Qinchuan had already spotted the waist token at his side.
The Li Gui Sect is far from Dongju Continent, with few cultivators setting foot on the continent, the sect, despite its million-year lineage, is little known on Dongju Continent. Partly because the Endless Sea Domain is excessively dangerous, and the Black Crystal solely produced in Crystal Mountain has no cultivation use.
On the other hand, the Li Gui Sect has been weak for generations; it's a heaven-sent occasion if a saint erges. Often, the candidates for sect leader are only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, or even just the Immortal Platform Realm.
Not being a major family or sect, there are even fewer who know of it.
But Qinchuan was aware of the existence of the Li Gui Sect.
"Do you truly believe that reporting the stone coffin's ssage will allow you to safely collect the reward?"
Qinchuan spoke again, his tone cold.
"The ssage of the Bronze Stone Coffin is so critical that it has driven several imperial families mad enough to offer a Supre Dao Artifact as a reward; do you think that after they learn the whereabouts of the Bronze Stone Coffin, they will let you go and allow the news to leak out?"
After speaking, Qinchuan waved his hand and said to Ji Huo'er and the others, "Huo'er, let's go!"
After he left straight away, Qinchuan's ethereal voice ca from a distance, "My words end here! The choice is entirely up to you!"
"Young master, are we just letting him go?"
Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er, who were following close behind Qinchuan, Ling Xian'er graceful and radiant, her expression filled with confusion.
"Otherwise? Kill him to silence him? Prevent the news of the Bronze Stone Coffin from leaking?"
Qinchuan retorted.
"I believe that the Bronze Stone Coffin must hold an incredible secret. If the news reaches the ears of the four great imperial families, it will surely lead to a struggle among the powerful. There might even be Great Emperors involved!"
Ling Xian'er expressed her foresight and concern.
Qinchuan smiled faintly, not saying a word, but inwardly he mused, "I want all these people to co; I'm afraid they won't!"
Wu Bing was greedy and fearful of death, and it was exactly this kind of person who lusted after riches and treasures; naturally, Qinchuan did not believe that a few simple words could make Wu Bing give up the reward.
Although he had a myriad of ways to stop Wu Bing from daring to leak the news, he did not employ them. Qinchuan's actions were exactly to have Wu Bing leak the information.
Because.
After he learned that the Bronze Stone Coffin had landed on Crystal Mountain, he had a wild plan in mind.
...
After acquiring the news of the Bronze Stone Coffin, Qinchuan didn't imdiately set out to sea but chose first to visit Exquisite Pavilion.
Qinchuan returned and took out his token, heading straight for the top floor.
"Prepare a secret room for !" Qinchuan demanded directly.
"Yes!"
Yu Hudie saw Qinchuan hurry over, seemingly eager, and led the way imdiately, "Young Master, please follow ."
In the secret room, Qinchuan sat cross-legged, readying himself.
In his hand appeared an elixir the size of a fist, its surface swirling with intertwining black and white.
This was none other than the Innate Awakening Pill • Bone.
Back on Thousand Fox Mountain, after Qinchuan had refined the Awakening Pill • Bone, he didn't awaken his Innate Bone imdiately because he had to enter the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
Qinchuan swallowed the black and white Awakening Pill.
Instantly, a dense and terrifying Yin-Yang Qi burst from his mouth into his abdon and spread out violently from there.
"Boom!"
The intertwining black and white Qi gave life to each other while clashing in hostility; upon entering Qinchuan's body, they began a relentless chase.
The black Qi was vast and powerful, hamring against Qinchuan's ribs.
With just one strike, more than a dozen ribs in Qinchuan's chest shattered to pieces.
It wasn't just a fracture; they were broken into fragnts.
"Hmm..." Intense pain struck in an instant, and even though Qinchuan had endured the agonies of nine lifetis, he couldn't help but grunt.
Awakening the Innate Marrow was painful enough, but he had not expected awakening the Innate Bone to be even more excruciating.
The terrible black Qi continued to crush and collide, as if intending to completely grind Qinchuan to dust.
At the sa ti, the white Qi also began to move.
The white Qi brushed past gently, like a spring breeze, like a babbling stream.
The ribs shattered inside his body were constantly regenerating and reassembling.
As one, the black and white Qi destroyed and rebirthed.
"Boom!"
The black Qi then spread to all of Qinchuan's limbs.
The next mont, Qinchuan felt as if all the bones in his body, over three hundred of them, had turned into thumb-sized fragnts in an instant.
As the black Dao Qi continued to surge, the bones throughout his body beca more and more fragnted.
The white Qi, on the other hand, flowed into these fragnts, akin to a quenching fire, repeatedly smashing and then rging them.
All over his body, only the spine, which had previously awakened the Innate Marrow, remained intact.
Despite the extre pain, his soul remained incredibly lucid.
He focused on maintaining his inner primordial energy, and the Emperor Soul in his sea of consciousness also opened its eyes at this mont, emitting bursts of blood-colored Qi to protect Qinchuan's body.
"No destruction, no creation!"
Qinchuan was delighted. In that life, he had not perfected his Innate Bones, which had left him with so regrets.
This ti, under the effect of the Awakening Pill, not only had it awakened his previously cultivated Innate Body, but his Innate Bones were nearing Perfection.
Right then, Qinchuan poured into his mouth a bottle of Spiritual Liquid of vitality he had collected at the entrance of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
Although this Spiritual Liquid was not as potent as the water from the fountain of life that flowed from the springs of the ancient demon gods, it was still filled with an enormous amount of vitality.
"Bone Regeneration!"
Qinchuan tried to control the two strands of Yin-Yang Qi with his soul.
The black and white Qi didn't need to flow through the ridians; under the guidance of the soul, they traveled through every part of the body.
Over three hundred bones, each and every one were undergoing the processes of shattering and rebirth, a long and ticulous process. The longer his Innate Bones were tempered, the stronger his foundation beca; impatience was not an option.
Qinchuan's closed-door cultivation lasted an entire month.
