**

In Wei Yang palm, the five milky-white gelatinous substances were about the size of pigeon eggs.

On their surface was a thin, jelly-like layer. Through that translucent layer, one could vaguely see a mysterious liquid slowly flowing inside. A strange and astonishing energy quietly seeped out, causing a faint smile to appear on Wei Yang’s face.

”What pure energy!” he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

The foundation of those ancient clans, whether it was the Eight Ancient Clans or the Three Supreme Beast Clans of the magical beast world, was something ordinary people could never comprehend.

Just the fact that a half-ruined Dou Sheng-level skeleton still contained such a miraculous treasure spoke volumes. Of course, those clans would never do as Wei Yang did — refining their ancestor’s remains for bone marrow.

However, if their clan ever fell into decline or faced a great crisis, it wasn’t impossible that they might unearth a few from their ancestral tombs for use.

Ahem, in short, this only further proved how terrifying the heritage of those ancient clans truly was — what he saw was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Wei Yang retrieved a jade bottle from his storage ring and placed the five pieces of Dou Sheng Bone Marrow inside. After a moment’s thought, he took one back out, pinched it between his fingers for a second, then popped it into his mouth.

The moment the jelly-like sphere entered, it melted almost instantly. Before Wei Yang could even react, a torrent of boundless, ocean-like energy poured down his throat like a raging flood. In the next instant, it roared through his meridians, surging through every corner of his body.

”Hiss~”

The sudden influx of such terrifying energy made Wei Yang gasp lightly.

As the energy rampaged, his body temperature soared rapidly, and his blood felt as if it had been ignited. From all over his body, faint wisps of white steam slowly rose from his ten thousand pores.

Sensing the changes within, Wei Yang hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique, swiftly entering a state of cultivation to refine the immense power flooding his body. This refinement continued for four full days before Wei Yang’s tightly shut eyes finally opened.

Even with the help of a Heaven Grade cultivation technique and the assistance of a Heavenly Flame, it had taken him four days to completely refine the energy — that alone spoke of its terrifying potency.

Feeling the unprecedented fullness of his Dou Qi, Wei Yang couldn’t help but be astonished.

”This Dou Sheng Bone Marrow really is something else!”

The Dou Qi within his body had reached a critical point, right on the verge of transformation.

It was a sign that he was about to step into the One-Change Dou Zun. Just one pigeon-egg-sized piece of bone marrow had such divine effectiveness that even an ordinary eighth-grade pill couldn’t compare.

After all, pills capable of helping a peak Nine-Star Dou Zun advance into the Nine Changes stage were exceedingly rare.

”Hu~”

Exhaling a long breath, Wei Yang raised his gaze toward the opposite side, where Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, eyes closed, deeply immersed in cultivation. Clearly, upon seeing the bone marrow, he too couldn’t resist and had tried one himself.

Wei Yang withdrew his gaze and looked toward the black sea of flames before him. Many of the bones within had already turned gray, clearly refined enough. Some, however, those larger or tougher pieces, still required more heat.

Looking at the remaining bones, Wei Yang’s eyes couldn’t help but shine with a burning excitement. The value of this skeleton was far greater than he had imagined. With a wave of his hand, he drew another grayish bone from the sea of flames and gently crushed it in his palm.

Bang!

As the bone powder scattered, seven milky-white gelatinous bone marrows were revealed inside, each roughly the same size as before — about that of a pigeon egg.

”A bountiful harvest!”

Wei Yang licked his lips in excitement and placed the seven jelly-like marrows into the jade bottle. Then, he raised his hand again and crushed another fully refined gray bone.

Ten pieces!

Continue.

Nine pieces!

Eight pieces!

Eleven pieces!

Ten pieces!

Half a day later.

By the time Wei Yang had finished refining all the bones on his side, he had gathered a total of two hundred and eighty pigeon-egg-sized bone marrow spheres!

Two hundred and eighty pieces!

Wei Yang held several jade bottles in his hand, unable to help but click his tongue in amazement. That amount alone would be more than enough for him to break through to the peak of the Nine-Changes!

That is, if he didn’t have to provide energy for Yao Lao.

Moments later—

Boom!

From Xiao Yan’s direction, an explosive surge of aura erupted. His strength had risen by an entire star. A while later—

”Five-Star Dou Zun.” Xiao Yan restrained his aura, slowly opened his eyes, and murmured softly.

Sweeping his gaze around, he saw Wei Yang had already retracted the black sea of flames. Clearly, the portion of the skeleton Wei Yang was responsible for had also been completely refined.

”Brother Wei, this Dou Sheng Bone Marrow is really a treasure. How much did you get on your side?” Xiao Yan stood up, stretched his body a little, and asked with a smile.

”Two hundred and eighty-one pieces. I ate one, so there are two hundred and eighty left.” Wei Yang said.

”Two hundred and eighty pieces!”

Even though Xiao Yan had mentally prepared himself, hearing that terrifying number still left him utterly shocked. Then, surprise quickly replaced it.

Two hundred and eighty pieces — the sheer amount was simply unbelievable.

However, Xiao Yan didn’t dwell on it further, because he knew that all of this bone marrow was meant for Yao Lao. After calming his mind, he too began collecting the bones he had refined.

As the continuous bang, bang, bang sounds echoed out, the bones he had roasted had all reached the proper level of refinement.

An hour later, Xiao Yan finally finished his harvest.

His total was slightly less — two hundred and forty-eight pieces. Including the one he had eaten earlier, that meant the half of the skeleton he handled had produced a total of two hundred and forty-nine bone marrow spheres.

Putting away his flames, Xiao Yan’s figure flickered and appeared beside Wei Yang.

The two combined their portions, yielding a grand total of five hundred and thirty bone marrow spheres. Since both Wei Yang and Xiao Yan had each consumed one that left five hundred and twenty-eight remaining.

The main reason for such a massive yield was, of course, the sheer size of the skeleton itself.

They placed five hundred of the bone marrow spheres into a large jade jar for safekeeping, sealed it with an energy imprint, and stored it away. The remaining twenty-eight pieces were divided evenly — fourteen for each of them.

”With these fourteen pieces of bone marrow, I should be able to reach the peak of Nine-Star Dou Zun soon.” Xiao Yan said with delight.

”Not planning to save one for your daughter?” Wei Yang asked with a teasing smile.

”Mm, I should. This bone marrow has a miraculous effect for children — it can cleanse their marrow and refine their bones.” Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.

”I’ll save two for Ye’er and Shuo’er as well. As for the rest, let’s keep them for now. We’ll decide what to do after we see how Yao Lao’s situation goes.” Wei Yang said.

”Yeah.” Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

He understood the priorities well.

The difference between Dou Zun star levels was a small matter, nothing to worry about certainly not as important as Yao Lao’s revival. After all, dozens of Dou Zun could never compare to a single Dou Sheng.

Of course, all this was still just their plan for now. Whether Yao Lao could truly take that crucial step forward remained uncertain. Still, everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared, and everything that could be done had been done.

Whether it would succeed or not, now depended entirely on Yao Lao himself. Collecting their thoughts, the two gazed at the misty, empty space around them. Below, a thick layer of gray bone ash had piled up.

Wei Yang reached out and grabbed a handful of it, studying it closely before smiling, ”This bone ash might still be useful. If we set aside a section of land and bury it there, it might just become the best medicinal field possible.”

”Indeed.” Xiao Yan also grabbed a handful of gray ash and examined it, nodding, ”Using the ashes of a Dou Sheng as fertilizer — that’s about as extravagant as it gets.”

”When the time comes, don’t waste it on random herbs. We should carefully choose only the high-grade, rare ones.” Wei Yang mused. ”Didn’t we collect a bunch of rare herbs in the Ancient Forest? We can transplant some of those.”

”That little sapling that bore the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit — we can plant that too.” Xiao Yan added.

”Good idea.”

As the two spoke, their discussion gradually drifted into the topic of cultivating medicinal herbs.
