Chapter 278: Tempering the Divine Bone Body!

"Sick Tiger! You said this white jade bone is incredibly heavy, even difficult to lift?"

While asking, Old Qi walked around the huge white jade bone on the ground, observing it carefully with his eyes wide open. When he found some holes on the ground caused by heavy objects falling on it, he was suddenly shocked.

Just an ordinary-looking white jade bone?
Although it looks like a piece of white jade and emits a strange glow, it looks light and airy no matter how you look at it.

But it can leave a bunch of heavy holes on the ground?

Even weirder.

Xu Binghu can carry a bone back on one shoulder, but he doesn’t know how to carry one on the other shoulder?
I have never heard of such a thing!
The villagers were filled with disbelief when they heard this bizarre story. Some villagers who were familiar with Xu Binghu even gathered around the white jade bones, spat on their hands, and wanted to try it.

"How about you try it?"

Xu Binghu looked at these people and saw that they didn't believe him, so he smiled and said.

These words were exactly what the guards were thinking, and they stepped forward one by one to try.

"Hey--"

"Hey--"

"let me--"

The guards tried one by one, but no one could move the white jade bones on the ground at all. It was simple, the smooth surface made it impossible for them to even grab them!
"Can you guys try it together?!"

Xu Binghu had foreseen this situation and encouraged them again.

Except for Mr. Qi, the rest of the guards are all young people.

What are the characteristics of young people? They are young and energetic, and have a spirit of not admitting defeat, especially in front of Xu Binghu, a huge mountain that has always been above their heads.

"Then we're going to give it a try."

After saying that, the leading few people called all the remaining guards, nearly twenty people, all surrounded the white jade bone, each grabbing a piece of it, trying to lift it up.

The result is the same as before.

There is no choice but to give up.

"This bone is too strange. We can't even try it. Only a sick tiger can carry it back. It's definitely destined to be with your Xu family!"

The guards shook their heads helplessly, fully realizing the fact.

At this time, Xu Ran passed by Xu Binghu and slowly came to the white jade bones. Then, his eyes emitted a faint golden light. Under the scorching sun, it was difficult for others to see what was wrong.

"This white jade bone is truly magical!!"

Xu Ran's voice was calm, but there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

Under Xu Ran's pale golden light, the white jade bones emitted a faint white glow all over their bodies, like a protective shield, and on that smooth surface, there were mysterious runes engraved on it.

These runes covered the entire bone. If they were not attached to the pupils by the innate energy, they would definitely not be discovered.

It was precisely because of these mysterious runes that Xu Ran felt a little surprised.

The surface of the white jade bone was covered with runes, but it felt incredibly smooth to the touch. Even the guards couldn't even put their hands on it!
"Xiao Ran, we can't even get this bone, and I'm afraid you can't either. If you want to use it as an ingredient for a medicinal bath, you'll probably have to ask your father for help!"

Someone from the escort team spoke up.

Although Xu Ran's performance just now was extremely miraculous, with endless tricks and no bloodshed, but when it comes to strength, a baby under two years old can never compare to the combined strength of all the guards in their team.

What's more, only Xu Binghu can carry this white jade bone, not even Xu Ran can do it.

"snort?!"

However, after hearing the words in the crowd, Xu Ran just sneered faintly, placed one hand on the white jade bone, and did not even make a grasping gesture, but a faint wisp of innate energy in his body appeared in his hand.

The next moment, he easily lifted up a white jade bone that was several times taller and thicker than Xu Ran's body.

Suddenly, everyone present stared at this scene with wide eyes, and a scene that was enough to shatter their eyes appeared before their eyes.

When Xu Ran's thin body held up the white jade bone, it was like a thin needle pushing up a towering tree, which was extremely shocking.

In fact, such a thing is extremely simple for Xu Ran.

Although, when Xu Binghu talked about that strange mountain village, he only spoke in fragments and provided very little information.

But who is Xu Ran? He is a genius who fell from the sky and is very intelligent. If he wants to lift this white jade bone, he needs to use his innate energy. There is only a trace of innate energy in Xu Binghu's body, so he can lift a white jade bone.

Not to mention Xu Binghu, even a newborn baby, with innate energy in its body, can lift it up.

If Xu Ran had been at the scene at that time, I'm afraid all the white jade bones in the village would have been looted.

"Haha." Xu Binghu was so excited when he saw Xu Ran lift the white jade bone easily.

"My son, Xu Binghu, is indeed smart. He immediately understood the key to the matter!"

"Since Xiao Ran has lifted up this white jade bone, let's start preparing the herbs and begin the medicinal bath!!"

At this time, Elder Qi spoke up and said, "Binghu, we've been following you in the mountains hunting snake monsters. We've searched the mountains and found a lot of medicinal herbs. Whatever herbs Xiao Ran needs for herbal bath, just go to the warehouse and get them!"

After thinking for a while, he continued.

"Also, according to the [Body Refining Secret Manual], for the best medicinal bath results, you need to use the dewdrops after the fog has dissipated in the early morning. The villagers will help Xiao Ran collect them!"

Xu Ran once again saved the border village of Dahuang from danger by collecting dewdrops. Although it was very hard work, he had to enter the mountains before dawn.

Moreover, it would take an unknown amount of time and energy to collect enough dew for a medicinal bath. They couldn't do much else, but such a simple thing could be done not only by the guards, but also by some children and old people in the village.

Xu Binghu knew that in order to achieve the best effect of the medicinal bath, dewdrops were indeed the best material. It would be a pity if such a magical white jade bone was not made with the best material.

"Then I'll trouble you all this time." Xu Binghu bowed to everyone.

Elder Qi led everyone in returning the gift and said, "Compared to the contribution your Xu family has made to the Great Wilderness Village, these are all insignificant things!"

He then glanced at the fog that had just cleared and continued, "The heavy rain that had lasted for several days in the mountains has just stopped, and there are still a lot of terrifying dewdrops. Let's go into the mountains!!"

After saying that, Old Qi led a group of people into the mountains, and a few people stayed in the village to pick up the bodies.

Ring noon.

The sun was shining brightly, and the scorching sun shone into the Xu family's yard. The blood from the morning had long dried up, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

At the door of Xu's house, a huge group of people gathered, each holding a small bucket in their hands, and some even just holding a small bottle.

There are more or less some collected dewdrops in these small buckets, but they are very few.

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were standing at the door, with a large vat two meters high next to them. On top of it was a sunshade made of animal skins.

If you don't do this, the dew you just poured in will probably be evaporated by the sun the next second.

"Everyone, just give me the dew you've collected. It'll be enough to fill this big jar." "Thank you everyone!!"

“Thank you everyone!!”

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji greeted them with smiles at the door. After all, they were helping Xu Ran collect dew, so they deserved a proper thank you.

Throughout the whole afternoon, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were pouring dew into the big vat.

After working for the whole afternoon, I looked into the big vat and found only a thin layer of dew. If I didn't know it was dew, I would have thought it was just leftover water stains.

"This dew is too little. How long will it take to collect enough to fill a large vat?"

Xu Binghu murmured.

This speed is really too slow. It may take several months.

"Don't be impatient!" Lian Ji said from the side, "It's only the first day, and it's already past morning. This is more than enough!!"

What Lian Ji said was true. The best time to collect dew was when the sun just appeared and a thin layer of morning sunlight shone through the thick fog on the mountains.

The reason we can have this today is that the fog that has been covering the mountains for several days has just dissipated, otherwise, there would not be a drop of rain today.

Xu Binghu exhaled, withdrew his gaze from the water tank, covered it with the lid, and returned to the yard.

Now, Xu Ran is still here observing the white jade bones.

"Xiao Ran, you've been studying this all morning. Have you found anything?"

After Xu Ran discovered the white jade bones through his innate energy and saw endless mysterious runes on their smooth surface, he observed them carefully, trying to comprehend the mystery behind them.

But the morning passed with nothing to show for it.

"No!!" Xu Ran whispered, "I found that although there are runes on this bone, they don't seem to be engraved on the surface. These runes seem to just flow in one direction?"

Suddenly, Xu Ran's eyes lit up, "That's right, it's the direction!"

"There's something inside this bone!!"

Xu Binghu also looked at the white jade bone in surprise, "Is there something inside the bone?"

He really hadn't thought about this matter.

"Hmm," Xu Ran explained. "Since the bones of domesticated New Year pigs have bone marrow, then this mysterious white jade bone might also have bone marrow inside it!!"

"That makes sense!" Xu Binghu agreed, but soon became confused. "But, is it okay if there's bone marrow inside the bones?"

"Anyway, these bones are going to be used for a medicinal bath. Even if there's bone marrow inside, it will evaporate during the bath, right?"

"No!!" Xu Binghu suddenly reacted.

Immediately, he quickly walked to the corner of the yard, picked up a machete made of snake bones and snake scales, and returned to the white jade bones.

"Xiao Ran, my lady, please retreat."

Xu Ran and Lian Ji nodded and took a few steps back.

"drink!!"

Immediately, veins popped up on Xu Binghu's arms, and two thousand pounds of strength suddenly burst out from his body. The strong air wave raised dust all around, making it impossible to open one's eyes for a while.

"boom--"

There was only a "bang" sound, and a reflective blade was seen rebounding from the white jade bone in the air.

"Cen——"

I saw a blade broken into two pieces stuck on the eaves, shaking constantly.

"This bone is too hard!!"

Xu Binghu threw the half-broken machete aside, shook his hands that were numb from the recoil, and said with gritted teeth.

Through Xu Ran's words, Xu Binghu discovered that the surface of this white jade bone was extremely hard. Even if there was bone marrow inside, it would be impossible to force the bone marrow out by using a medicinal bath.

There is only one way, which is to cut the white jade bone into two halves and take out the bone marrow.

But now, there seems to be no way!!!
"I thought I'd found a magical bone to use as a medicinal bath for Xiao Ran, but unfortunately, I can't cut it open!!!"

Xu Binghu felt extremely regretful. What was the difference between this and having a mountain of gold in front of him but not being able to get it?
"Huh?! All this wasted time! How about getting the villagers to stop collecting?"

Before Xu Binghu could finish his words, a white light suddenly burst out from his body, and a breath of destruction swept through the entire yard. Xu Binghu couldn't stand still for a moment.

Turning to look at Xu Ran, he saw a white pocket-sized flying sword hanging above his head.

Immediately, Xu Ran pinched his fingers together, and the pocket flying sword hovering above his head made a humming sound.

next moment.

A streak of white light shot out from above Xu Ran's head, so fast that it left bursts of sonic booms in the air, which stung the ears of Xu Binghu and Lian Ji.

Even so, his eyes were still fixed on the white jade bone.

"昘——"

I saw a white light passing through the middle of the bone, and along the white light, a stream of white liquid flowed out of the bone.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu suddenly picked up the bucket beside him, carried the bucket to the front of the bones as quickly as possible, and placed the bucket where the pocket flying sword passed over the bones.

At the same time, he turned to look at Lian Ji and yelled, "Quick, bring all the buckets in the house!!"

"it is good!"

Lian Ji took immediate action and took out all the large barrels in the house.

"Xiao Ran, your flying sword is too powerful. It easily cut through the white jade bones that we couldn't do anything to!"

Xu Binghu's tone was full of surprise and shock.

He had just taken the machete and wanted to split the white jade bones, and he had used all his strength. With all his strength now, a full-strength blow would probably have a force of 3000 kilograms.

The force of 3000 kilograms could not cause the slightest ripple in front of this white jade bone.

As a result, Xu Ran just waved his pocket flying sword, lightly swept across the white jade bone, and easily cut it in half.

This level of skill is something they will never be able to surpass!!
"With your skills, you could probably walk sideways in the mountains!"

As Xu Binghu spoke, he took the large bucket that Lian Ji handed over. The bone marrow gurgling out of the white jade bones had already filled up the two large buckets.

Furthermore, it looked like there was a bottomless pit inside this white jade bone, and the bone marrow was inexhaustible!
