Chapter 241 Spirit bone inside?

A few days later, the crowd returned to Skywalker Academy.

After a simple farewell, Lin Manshan brought Dugu Yan back to their residence and accompanied the group for a good reunion that night.

After a night without words, the next day, after a simple greeting, he walked into the inner room.

Sitting on the futon with his knees crossed, he pulled out the bead dropped by the Dark Devilgod Tiger from his spirit tool, urged his soul power, and insecurely flushed it once again, and then his consciousness seeped in, and his heart suddenly shook. What came into his mind was green, white, black, blue, and silver, five clusters of nebulae-like colourful ribbons clearly entangled together, around the core of a small black hole revolving slowly.

'If my expectation is correct, these colourful cloud-like energies should represent the five attributes of Wind, Thunder, Darkness, Time, and Space possessed by the Dark Devilgod Tiger. I didn't expect that after I purified the evil attributes, the rest of the attributes would still be able to maintain the balance on their own, what exactly is this bead?' Lin Manshan could not contain his inner shock while being filled with doubts, 'Even soul core, as far as I know, can only condense one attribute at a time. This bead, on the other hand, can hold multiple attributes at the same time.'

'It wouldn't be too much to call such an existence a divine artefact, wouldn't it? Is it really the crystallization of the Dark Devilgod Tiger's abilities?'

Retracting his consciousness, Lin Manshan fell into deep thought.

In a moment, he pulled out a golden bead from his spirit tool that he had obtained from Bibi Dong back then, condensed from the origin of Qian Xunji's martial soul. Utilizing his soul power, he performed the Dark One Art of Alchemy, wrapping one in one hand and slowly bringing it closer.

Soon, the golden bead came into contact with the black bead.

Visible to the naked eye, the black bead slowly rotated, and a faint suction force then arose.

Subsequently, the gold bead rose slowly towards the black bead like smoke, slowly wrapping around the black bead.

As time passed little by little, a wisp of gold thread could gradually be seen surging inside the black bead. The gold bead beside it, on the other hand, was gradually getting smaller visible to the naked eye.

"To think that it's possible!?" Lin Manshan's eyes showed surprise.

"If that's the case."

A thought could not help but rise in his mind.

Slightly shaking his head, he no longer thought much about it and quietly watched the golden bead become smaller and smaller, eventually fading away.

His consciousness seeped in again, and unsurprisingly, the original five nebulae had turned into six, in which next to the golden one, there was an extremely tiny touch of fiery red.

'Qian Xunji's six-winged angel martial soul, the intensity of the fire attribute attached to it really drags the hip; well, it's fine too.'

Between his thoughts, he looked again, the bead was still as black as ink, only the light emitted by the exterior had a more golden colour.

Without the slightest hesitation, he urged the life energy within the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and surged it down to the bead along his arm. Visible to the naked eye, green silk seeped in, and with the passage of time, a faint green colour haloed on the surface.

'Holy Cow!' Lin Manshan almost blurted these words out.

Interrupting the life energy transmission, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the door, calling Shui Bing'er in.

When Shui Bing'er walked in, he said with a slight sense of urgency, "Bing'er, mobilize the surrounding ice attribute energy towards this bead and try injecting it."

"Alright." Shui Bing'er nudged her head, her hands made a gripping motion close to the bead and began to mobilize the surrounding ice elemental energy. In the next moment, flakes of snowflakes condensed around the bead then fell onto the bead and directly slid away.

The bead was unchanged.

"Could it be saturated?" Lin Manshan was instantly somewhat uncertain, raised his head and continued, "Bing'er, mobilize a trace of Martial Soul Origin to try, a trace will do."

"Hm." Shui Bing'er nodded and separated a trace of her Martial Soul Origin to wrap around the bead, and there was still no change.

'It seems that this bead also has a carrying limit, otherwise, with the types and number of spirit beasts that the Dark Devilgod Tiger has devoured over the years, it would have already contained several attribute origins.' Lin Manshan pondered while signalling Shui Bing'er to stop, then walked her to her room.

Once again, he returned to the futon and sat down.

'But why is life energy acceptable?' The Dark Devilgod Tiger has devoured so many spirit beasts, so it's reasonable to say that it has also absorbed quite a bit of life energy. There's also the Martial Soul Origin of the 'Qian Xunji' why would a human's Martial Soul be able to merge as well? Could it be, because both of them have been flushed by my soul power? Other people refine medicines and craft weapons, but I am damn well refining beads!?' When he thought of this, his countenance was a bit complicated.   

There was also some regret inside.

'Hey, if I had known that I could only refine three more attribute energies into it, I would have chosen well again.'

'The strength of the fire attribute in the 'Qian Xunji' Martial Soul Origin is so weak, what use is there for me to refine it in? Developing it to use as a lighter, snapping my fingers to light cigarettes to pretend to be cool?'

Shaking his head slightly and clearing his emotions, he then took a deep breath and placed the bead close to his lower abdomen. Last time it was the bead that took the initiative to integrate, this time, it was his own choice of location, Lin Manshan did not know how to proceed. Swallowing it directly and sensing it would be dangerous, he could only lightly brush his fingertips and make a wound, smearing the blood on the bead, and then operate the Meridian Skill while mobilizing the soul power in his body.

If all of them don't work, then he really has to think about whether he should eat it directly.

The main reason why he chose to keep it close to his lower abdomen was because this place was the location of the lower dantian. The upper dantian is in the centre of the eyebrow, the middle dantian is close to the heart, if something goes wrong in these two places, he may be able to score a ticket to heaven on the spot.

Only in the lower dantian, if a problem occurs, there is life energy, which should be able to save the situation.

In addition, he preferred to condense a Spiritual Soul Core in the Upper Dantian. The middle dantian is the place where vital energy converges, and it also connects the upper and lower dantians, so he prefers to gather his own spirit energy to form a core there. In this way, the mobilization and circulation of spirit energy to the whole body might be faster and more efficient.

In the middle of his thoughts, he only felt a slight tremor in the bead in his hand, which then detached from his palm and rubbed against his belly. A coolness hit his body, and the bead integrated like water dropping into a clear pool.

'This feeling is really strange as if the bead has no entity.' Lin Manshan was inwardly surprised, and then he felt the bead moving towards his upper body.

He was taken aback and hastily urged his soul power to wrap the bead and move it towards the lower dantian acupoint.

Fortunately, the bead did not struggle.

'Is it really only soul power that can subdue this thing?' Lin Manshan's eyelids twitched as he smoothly accelerated the operation of the Meridian Skill. Slowly, the bead began to rotate.

Under his spiritual perception, Lin Manshan could completely "see" that there were countless different coloured points of light around his body converging towards his lower abdomen. Upon closer inspection, the colours of these points of light were exactly the same as the attribute energies within the bead, except for the green life energy.

After these energies entered the body, all of them surged into the bead, without a single trace flowing elsewhere.

On top of that, a portion of the energy outside the body was converging towards the pocket-sized martial soul placed in his hand. It was transformed by the martial soul into a silk of spirit energy that converged into the body's meridians and travelled throughout the body's meridians as the Meridian Skill operated.

"???" Lin Manshan was stunned, 'So, this bead only absorbs the attribute energy contained within? Life energy doesn't work, and it can't transform spirit energy for cultivation either. Other than that, the speed of pulling in heaven and earth aura is slightly increased.'

At this moment, he suddenly believed what Dugu Bo said, that this bead was similar to an external spirit bone.

No, this is an internal spirit bone!

When placed in the lower dantian, it had basically nothing to do with cultivating and his martial soul refining process he felt, it was purely a one-way operation.

'It's useless to think about it any more after it's been absorbed.' After trying, the bead was already deeply rooted in the lower dantian, and he felt strong rejection when he moved it slightly.

'Let's try injecting all the life energy within the spirit bone into it.' Thinking like this, he controlled the life energy within the right leg bone and moved it towards the lower dantian.

The bead took it in as expected and absorbed it as much as it could.

In that case, this right leg bone of mine..." There was no doubt that he was more suited to absorb a power-type spirit bone, 'I'll replace it when I find a suitable one, and give this spirit bone to Lingling.'

Soon, the life energy transfer was complete, and Lin Manshan slowly opened his eyes. Although he didn't continue to operate the Meridian Skill, he could feel that the bead was still being turned slowly as the spirit energy flowed through the acupuncture points being carried, absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth aura, if not for the fact that his spiritual power was strong enough, and he was sensing within himself, he wouldn't have been able to notice it at all.

Stretching out his hand, his mind moved, a faint tingling sensation immediately surged out from his lower abdomen, and came to his fingertips along his arm. Visible to the naked eye, an arc of electricity flashed.

With another snap of his fingers, a handful of small flames appeared.

"Awesome!"
