Chapter 80 Bone Refining
It was already dark, and the cave was pitch black.
Xiao Yan retrieved his soul bone, pressed his hand to the ground, and instantly a large patch of Blue Silver Grass spread and grew, covering the entire cave wall. The grass leaves emitted a soft blue light, providing ample visibility.
Looking directly ahead, a heavy stone door was tightly closed, its thickness seemingly enough to withstand the full force of an ordinary battle master's attack.
As Xiao Yan looked at the stone gate, a thought struck him, and the surrounding blue silver grass began to creep and climb, reaching out to every inch of the rock wall around the stone gate.
Until the tip of the vine touched a hidden protrusion.
With a soft "click," the mechanism was triggered, and the stone door slowly slid open to one side with a low, grinding sound.
"Mechanical techniques..." Xiao Yan thought for a moment, "These are the techniques that wood-attribute or earth-attribute fighters are good at. It seems that the tomb owner is very likely one of these attributes."
The scene inside the cave was clearly presented to Xiao Yan as the light from the Blue Silver Grass shone through.
A small hill of gold coins shimmered with golden and blue light, while some well-preserved herbs were piled up in a corner flower bed.
The most eye-catching feature is a skeleton sitting in the center, with three simple wooden boxes neatly arranged in front of it.
"The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture!"
"Advanced Profound-Rank Battle Skill, Roar of the Mad Lion!"
"Advanced Profound-Rank Flight Combat Technique, Purple Cloud Wings!"
Xiao Yan glanced over, then waved his hand. Blue Silver Grass rolled up three wooden boxes and placed them in front of him, opening the lids.
All the items were displayed before his eyes.
Although, given his current perspective, only the Roar of the Mad Lion has some effect, it's a different story for others.
For example, a girl who is not yet fourteen years old will go through many hardships and spend more than two years.
Xiao Yan smiled and picked up the Poison Classic for another look.
"Your future is in your hands!"
He quickly stored the items in his storage ring, and the rest of the things—herbs, gold coins…—were also packed away under the ever-extending and retracting blue-silver vines.
Soon, the cave was completely looted, except for the skeleton.
Xiao Yan strode towards the skeleton, reached under its arm bone, and a small scroll fell into his hand.
One of the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
"Seriously, you know it so well, why did I need to look for it?"
The Azure Bull Python watched his smooth and skillful movements, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke softly.
"This is different."
Xiao Yan put away the remaining map. "I only know that the cave is in the Monster Mountain Range, but it's really hard to find out exactly where it's hidden."
"So...you know this person?"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Bull Python turned towards the skeleton.
"I don't know him." Xiao Yan shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the skull's empty eye sockets. "But he's a good person."
Not only did he spread the treasure map, but he also left no harmful traps inside the cave, so openly presenting his final finds to those who came after him...
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was an honest and kind-hearted person, and a mentor who helped younger generations.
"Senior, how much trouble have I caused you?"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly in greeting.
If that "beggar" had such an open and honest mind, perhaps things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
But since it has happened, there's nothing to regret.
People always have to pay the price for their choices.
After saying that, he turned and left.
The blue silver grass behind him emitted a warm blue light, bringing a brief moment of life to the desolate tomb.
As his figure disappeared into the passage, the stone door slowly slid and closed, returning everything to silence.
……
"Does one need to be in human form to cultivate combat techniques?"
The Azure Bull Python withdrew its regretful gaze from the flying combat technique.
He doesn't really care about flying; climbing fast is the same as flying, and he can hit enemies in the air too.
Therefore, he didn't envy Fei at all...
Anyway, neither Erming nor Sister Xiaowu can fly...
This is just me going with the flow...
"Yes, you don't care at all."
Xiao Yan watched this scene silently from the side, finding it somewhat amusing.
Finally, he reached out and took the "Purple Cloud Wings" back from the Azure Bull Python's "indifferent" gaze.
I was excited to hear that it could fly, but I'm quite silent now.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
Who can resist the feeling of soaring through the sky and looking down on all the mountains? But these Purple Cloud Wings are indeed a bit of a waste for me. The rabbit doesn't need them, and at most they can be sold for money.
"What a pity..."
He casually flipped open the scroll, stroked the realistic feather patterns engraved on it, and felt the waves of soul energy within.
Tiny text with fine edges came into view:
"This combat technique, named Eagle's Wings, also known as Purple Cloud Wings, is the result of three years of effort by myself and several friends to successfully capture a Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle. We used a secret method to extract its wings, and finally created this flying combat technique that can be practiced. This technique was drawn with my battle qi before my death, and it can only be practiced by one person at a time. Remember this!"
He even wrote down the precautions; he really is a kind person.
Xiao Yan nodded.
Taking the bodies of beasts and fusing their souls with secret techniques to forge fighting skills—this is how one hunts soul beasts and obtains soul rings in the Douluo Continent!
Essentially, there doesn't seem to be much difference.
Xiao Yan was about to put the scroll away again when he suddenly stopped.
Um? ! !
Wait... no difference?!
Take the body of an animal and practice your fighting skills!
Take the body of a magical beast and hone your fighting skills!
That involves taking the body of a soul beast and refining it...
"Soul skills!"
An idea that seemed almost whimsical, yet contained infinite possibilities, forcefully entered his mind!
Xiao Yan's pupils contracted involuntarily, and his heart began to beat faster.
If it were… a Soul Skill!
That's definitely much simpler and more efficient than hunting for spirit rings one by one and attaching them one by one!
Moreover, the theoretically achievable number will surge from the current 27 to an almost infinite possibility!
"This...this...isn't right, but we can't completely deny it."
Just thinking about this prospect.
Xiao Yan felt a surge of excitement.
He immediately flipped through the rest of the scroll, but apart from the detailed method of cultivating this wing, there was no further description of the cultivation technique.
For a moment, he was somewhat lost in thought.
"Oh right, it seems... Elder Yao mentioned that this ancient secret method for refining flying combat techniques has been lost..."
"No, that's not right! It hasn't been completely lost!"
Xiao Yan frowned, recalling the events from the depths of his memory. At the slightest provocation, the incident slowly surfaced.
In the original novel, after Xiao Yan cultivated the Purple Cloud Wings, he seemed to have come into contact with even more advanced flying combat techniques...
It seems to be called... "Nine Wings of the Sky Goose"?
Yes! It's the Nine-Winged Sky Goose! The training method for that fighting technique requires the use of a similar secret technique!
However, the sect leader of the Heavenly Goose Sect is a Dou Zong!
"A Dou Zong..."
Xiao Yan immediately felt a little embarrassed.
It's not that there's absolutely no chance of obtaining it in the future, but the Dou Zong level is still too far away for him right now.
By then, it will be too late.
But where else can one find clues or the inheritance of this secret technique?
Subconsciously.
Xiao Yan then thought of a certain rich woman.
