Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 279 It’s done!

"what?"

How could such a strange thing happen?

Xu Binghu, who was receiving bone marrow, suddenly noticed something was wrong. He saw that the bone marrow that was constantly flowing out seemed to be stuck, and it was intermittent...

"what happened?"

Xu Ran walked over slowly and saw the scene in front of him.

I saw the bone marrow was broken and looked like it was about to disappear. The bone marrow in this white jade bone was about to disappear! !
"Such a big white jade bone, and the bone marrow inside is going to be gone just like that?" Xu Binghu couldn't believe it.

They have only filled two large buckets now, which is not enough if used for medicinal baths. Even if it is enough, the effect will not be that good.

Everyone in the entire Dahuangbian Village went to collect dewdrops for Xu Ran in order to make the best medicinal bath, but in the end, they gave up because they didn't have enough bone marrow?

Xu Binghu's face was full of disappointment. He didn't expect that the white jade bones he had taken so much effort to carry back would have such an ending.

"wrong!!"

Just when Xu Binghu's face was filled with disappointment, Xu Ran slowly squatted down, and a faint golden light appeared in his eyes again. The golden runes on the white jade giant bone that looked like flowing water reappeared, but they were a little different from the beginning. The color and flow rate were much slower.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "This huge white jade bone also has bone marrow."

Xu Ran's shocking words left Xu Binghu confused.

"This giant white jade bone has been broken into two halves, and now there is no bone marrow flowing out. How could it still be there?" Xu Binghu asked in confusion.

Xu Ran slowly stood up, and the pocket flying sword appeared above his head again.

"Yes, I did cut the bone in half just now, and a lot of bone marrow did flow out. However, the inside of the bone is like bamboo, with sections one by one. I just happened to cut the middle section in half."

"The bone marrow has all flowed out, and the remaining bone marrow is isolated somewhere else, so it naturally won't flow out!!"

At first, Xu Ran also thought that the inside of the giant white jade bone was the same as that of ordinary bones, going all the way to the bottom, so he didn't pay attention when looking at the runes on its surface.

However, only two buckets of bone marrow flowed out of such a huge bone, which was very strange. This made Xu Ran carefully observe the runes floating on the surface.

It was discovered that each section of those seemingly coherent runes was blocked by a mysterious means, like a bamboo, one section at a time, so this conjecture came about.

"This giant white jade bone is so strange. Why does it have such a structure?" Xu Binghu touched his head and asked in confusion.

In everyone's understanding, the inside of a complete bone is straight all the way through. How could it be like a bamboo?

"What kind of creature was this bone in its lifetime?" Xu Binghu murmured doubtfully, then looked at Xu Ran, "Xiao Ran, since the inside of this giant white jade bone is so strange, you still need to use your flying sword to cut it."

Among those present, only Xu Ran has such ability.

"Yeah!" Xu Ran nodded, then changed the subject, "But this time it might take a little time."

"Ok?"

Xu Binghu was just about to ask why when the pocket flying sword floating above Xu Ran's head made a buzzing sound. He then saw Xu Ran pinching his fingers together, and the pocket flying sword above his head turned into a white stream of light and suddenly attacked the giant white jade bone.

"clang--"

A crisp sound rang out in the Xu family courtyard, and a few sparks appeared between the pocket-sized flying sword and the giant white jade bone, just like the sparks produced when two extremely solid objects collide when forging iron.

Now, Xu Binghu finally understood why Xu Ran said that.

"This this."

Xu Binghu looked at the scene in front of him with surprise, his fingers trembling constantly, and he was very confused.

Xu Ran kept making hand gestures, and the innate energy around his body continued to surge. The sparks between the pocket flying sword and the giant white jade bone became less and less.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the last defense mechanism left by the white jade giant bone."

When he had just observed the giant white jade bone with his eyes, in addition to discovering that there were spaces inside the entire bone like bamboo sections, he also discovered that these runes seemed to have become more solid.

That’s right, it’s even stronger!!
This change happened just after Xu Ran cut it in half, so he said this.

After he finished speaking, the pocket-sized flying sword that was originally on the giant white jade bone turned into a white stream of light and returned to Xu Ran's head, and the endless bone marrow flowed out again.

Xu Binghu quickly took out an empty bucket and collected the flowing bone marrow.

"Xiao Ran, how many such spaces are there inside this giant white jade bone?" asked Xu Binghu.

"Ten." Xu Ran replied.

"Ten!" Xu Binghu exclaimed, "Does that mean every time a giant bone is cut, this defense mechanism will be triggered?"

Xu Ran nodded.

Every time the giant bone's defense mechanism is broken, the remaining space defense will be raised to a higher level, and the higher the level, the higher the defense.

The first time, Xu Ran’s pocket flying sword easily cut it in half. The second time, it took some time. What about the third, fourth, and ninth time?
In the end, can Xu Ran's pocket flying sword extract all the bone marrow from the giant bones?

Xu Binghu was worried while using the bucket to collect the bone marrow.

Soon, the two buckets of bone marrow were used up again, and all the bone marrow in the second space was lost.

Seeing this, Xu Ran's pocket flying sword appeared again and attacked the giant white jade bone.

This time, it was not as easy as the first time, nor did it produce sparks like the second time. Instead, it stayed on the surface of the giant bone, and the flying sword kept shaking. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the tip of the flying sword was sinking into the giant bone at an extremely slow speed.

Xu Ran pinched his fingers together, and white air continued to flow out from his fingertips, and the innate energy was continuously injected into the pocket flying sword.

In this way, after a full hour, a trace of bone marrow began to flow out of the extremely hard white jade bone.

“It’s out! It’s out!!”

Xu Binghu, who had been watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise when he saw this scene.

This one hour was extremely torturous for him, mainly because he had nothing to do except using the bucket to collect the bone marrow. He just had to watch from the side, and the more he watched, the more anxious he became.

Turning to look at Xu Ran, I saw that his forehead was sweating profusely, his fingers were shaking constantly, and the innate energy around his body had decreased a lot. It was obvious how much effort it took to cut the giant bone this time.

"Hah!!" Xu Ran suddenly pointed his finger into the air, and strong winds blew up around him. The pocket-sized flying sword that had been embedded in most of the giant bone suddenly broke free and flew towards the sky, then landed back on Xu Ran's head. The surface of the pocket-sized flying sword actually showed a faint golden light.

"Xiao Ran, are you okay?" Lian Ji saw Xu Ran sweating profusely and hurried forward to show concern.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran slowly raised his head, a smile appearing on his face, as if he had received a surprise.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied, "I'm fine. On the contrary, I'm in very good condition now!!"

After saying that, he looked at the giant white jade bone with shining eyes, his face full of anticipation.

It was only because he discovered that using his pocket flying sword to cut the giant bones could actually quickly improve his [Fairy Sword Skills]. This effect was much faster than using his innate energy to nourish the Fairy Sword. The speed was like riding a rocket, which was beyond words.

Although it took an hour to cut the giant bone this time, the improvement in his [Immortal Sword Technique] was greater than the effect of a month of hard training. If he could continue to maintain this, it wouldn't be long before his [Immortal Sword Technique] would be fully mastered!
If [Immortal Sword Technique] is mastered, the mysterious inheritance can be unlocked, and unspeakable benefits can be obtained. This is an extremely important thing for Xu Ran, who is in great need of time.

Xu Ran was extremely excited and quickly meditated to recover his breath and prepare for the next time to cut the giant bone.

In this way, three days passed.

The scorching sun shone through the clouds into the Xu family yard, casting long shadows on the several pieces of white jade bones scattered on the ground, as if they had never been cut.

At this time, Xu Ran was sweating profusely, and white light kept flashing on the tips of his fingers. The pocket flying sword controlled by him kept shaking, and at the same time, the innate energy kept bursting out, trying to push it a little further on the giant white jade bone.

"Om-"

"Om-"

"Om-"

The sound of the pocket flying sword shaking kept echoing in the air, and Xu Ran's hands were also shaking constantly, responding to the pocket flying sword.

at last.

Half a day passed again and night fell.

"boom--"

With a loud bang in the Xu family yard, Xu Ran's pocket flying sword was seen piercing straight into the soil, and the huge white jade bone was broken into two pieces again, and the bone marrow inside kept flowing out.

Xu Binghu, who had been waiting nearby, quickly took the large bucket he had prepared and caught all the bone marrow that flowed out.

Seeing this, Xu Ran slowly exhaled.

"This sixth cut is finally complete!!"

In three days, Xu Ran performed a total of six cuts. The time taken for each cut became longer, and this time, it took him a full day.

It took a whole day of non-stop cutting of the giant bone with the pocket flying sword, and it took a lot of energy to complete it.

Immediately, Xu Ran smiled. "But it's all worth it. My first flying sword training has reached perfection. Its power is nearly ten times stronger than at the beginning, and the amount of innate energy and spiritual energy consumed is also decreasing. All of this was achieved through hard work while cutting bones!"

Although these three days were very hard, it was nothing compared to the gains.

Xu Binghu was receiving the bone marrow while listening to Xu Ran's words. Apart from being stunned for a moment, he had no other reaction.

After all, such surprises are nothing new. During these three days, every time Xu Ran successfully cut a giant bone, the power of his pocket flying sword would be increased to a higher level, without fail.

Seeing how hard Xu Ran worked, Lian Ji tried to persuade him to go back and have a good rest, but it was no use!

However, as a father, he was also very excited that his son had made such an improvement in three days.

But, what exactly is the origin of this giant white jade bone? How could the bones left behind after death actually have such a defense mechanism?
"Xiao Ran, what kind of existence was this giant skeleton in its lifetime? How could it have such a defense mechanism?" Xu Binghu asked in confusion.

In fact, Xu Ran was also very interested in this matter and wanted to know what it was about, but without any information, he could only rely on speculation.

"As the saying goes, those who are destined to succeed will receive the reward. To have all kinds of adventures, you need a certain amount of luck and strength!"

"These bones have this amazing defense mechanism to prevent anyone from absorbing their bone marrow and wasting the medicinal power of their bone marrow!"

"I guessed it!" Xu Ran added.

Xu Binghu also nodded, "That's the only possibility!!"

After saying this, the bone marrow was completely received. He stood up and said, "I'll put the bone marrow away first. Xiao Ran, you take a good rest first!"

Then he left the yard with Gu Mei and Lian Ji.

A month has passed.

day.

Xu Ran was sweating profusely. He sat cross-legged in the yard with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, his fingers trembling as he kept pinching the hand seals. The innate energy in his body kept pouring out as if it was free, and gathered at the pocket flying sword not far away.

Lian Ji sat aside, looking at Xu Ran with a worried look on her face, and asked, "Husband, do you think Xiao Ran can succeed?!"

Xu Binghu said, "Don't worry, Xiao Ran, what can't you do? For the past month, I have been cutting the white jade bone day and night, and my aura has been rising continuously. Although the cutting time is getting longer and longer, this time, the ninth cutting, it has already taken seven days, but every time, Xiao Ran succeeds, so just watch with peace of mind."

Xu Binghu held Lian Ji's hands with both hands and spoke calmly, but his hands were shaking constantly.

Now, a month has passed since Xu Ran cut the giant bone. The originally three-meter-long bone has now become only thirty centimeters long. After a month, Xu Ran finally cut it into the last space.

In the corner of the Xu family's yard, there are eighteen large barrels, each of which contains white bone marrow. If the bone marrow in the last space is added, there are exactly twenty barrels.

Next to these eighteen barrels, there is a two-meter-high vat filled with crystal clear water. Even in the two-meter-deep vat, the bottom can be clearly seen.

What is contained in this vat is the dewdrops collected by the entire Dahuangbian Village for Xu Ran. It took a whole month to build this two-meter-deep vat. Now, everything is ready, and all that is left for Xu Ran is to cut the last giant bone.

"boom--"

As a sound rang out, a white airflow suddenly burst out from Xu Ran's body, sweeping around and raising a cloud of yellow sand. A white light with a hint of gold slowly appeared above Xu Ran's head, and a breath of destruction spread out.

Immediately, Xu Ran's eyes suddenly opened and he spoke.

"It's done!!"
