Three World Swordsman
113: Diamond Bones and Qi
The cold air at the foot of the Huashan mountains slowly warmed as the fog and dew decomposed in the morning sun.
In a valley in the southern part of the Huashan Mountains, it appeared that Yao Chan along with ZHu Yin and Yu Lian were practicing their respective styles.
Their speed and strength had now increased by twice as much as before. This made Zhu Yin extremely excited.
The quality of his bones that had risen to a new stage, made Zhu Yin plan to increase his amount of profound strength first, considering that between the two of them he was the weakest.
Its deep tenga was less than five thousand knots, making Zhu Yin unable to use the technique of hovering in the air like Yu Lian and Yao Chan had done.
With the Young Golden Bone, Yao Chan said at least ten thousand Inner Knots of power, could be gathered within Zhu Yin's current body.
Hearing that, Zhu Yin immediately took out the God Apples given by Guo Jin which now had only one left. He sat in meditation after devouring the apple for breakfast.
Yao Chan's attention turned to Yu Lian who was training the style of the Fire Disc he made from his whip. The deadly move that some time ago killed thousands of expert warriors, now looked much stronger than the last Yao Chan saw.
Yao Chan let out a long sigh as he thought about the existence of the Flame Soul Pearl so that Yu Lian could use the full power of his Fire Dragon Whip.
It was just that Yao Chan was worried by the full might of that Fire Dragon Whip. Remembering Yu Lian's character was easily emotional.
Yao Chan was worried as his anger got out of hand, Yu Lian used the full power of the Fire Dragon Whip blindly.
Yao Chan shuddered in horror at Zhu Long's words that the Fire Dragon God once destroyed a life in another world with the full power of the whip.
Other than not knowing the existence of the Flame Soul Pearl, Yao Chan's mind was being overwhelmed by Zhu Long's task of finding the two sacred books he had hidden a hundred years ago.
Yao Chan took out the Map that Guo Jin had given him. The map that Guo Jin obtained when he met Zhu Yin's two older brothers in the Ming Empire a few months ago.
Yao Chan's eyes widened when he discovered that the cave where he kept the two of us was not far from the Huashan mountains. Even still in the valley which is part of this mountain, only it is located to the west which is more than five kilometers away.
Yao Chan turned towards the direction where Zhu Yin had just finished absorbing the God Apple efficacy. With ordinary techniques, Zhu Yin took one day to absorb the entire efficacy of the apple.
After learning the Dragon Breath Technique, Zhu Yin only took less than an hour. This remarkable achievement was thanks to the help of a young man who made Zhu Yin even more sympathetic to him.
Zhu Yin smiled happily as she realized the amount of her inner power had now reached over six thousand Knots. While Yao Chan smiled seeing Zhu Yin's strength rise even higher stronger.
"Sister Yin, take a look at this map of Grandpa Zhu Long's legacy."
Zhu Yin received the map sheet from Zhu Long's hand just as Yu Lian arrived at the two of them. Zhu Yin's eyes widened after a moment of looking at the map.
"Chan Gege was like a cave not far from here maybe.."
Zhu Yin's sentence was interrupted when she saw Yu Lian holding back a laugh, Zhu Yin's forehead shriveled trying to figure out the thing that caused Yu Lian to behave so.
"Father and Mother used to call each other brothers but now ..."
"Yin'er, according to the map, the distance of the cave was about five kilometers further to the west. So I don't think we need to rush there, it looks like the cave can only be traveled through the air."
Zhu Yin nodded at Yao Chan's words. Her heart was blossoming hearing Yao Chan call her "Yin'er". While Yu Lian was suddenly struck by a mild cough hearing the words of the Big Brother.
"It seems that your inner strength has increased, you better try to learn to use the hovering technique, while I will meditate to form qi."
Zhu Yin nodded her head, and she decided to ask a question she had been keeping.
"Chan Gege, if I may know at what level your bones are at the moment, and how many thousand deep knots of energy do you have at the moment?"
Yao Chan smiled faintly at Zhu Yin's question, and immediately used his fingertips to scratch his left arm. A deep wide wound left Zhu Yin and Yu Lian stunned. In the flesh, there was a bone that was clear and glowing like a diamond.
"Rinstone Bone"
Zhu Yin's voice rang out trembling, Diamond Bones are the highest level of bones that humans can possess. But since a thousand years ago no human has ever been able to reach that level.
"This bone is called the Diamond Bone. With this level of bone I have fifteen thousand profound strength and can gather qi within it over a thousand Crystals. As for the level of your bones, the maximum is only able to store a hundred qi Crystals. That's why I won't give you more than five cups of this green water, because it'll make your bones explode."
Yao Chan's long explanation left Zhu Yin and Yu Lian dumbfounded with their mouths open. Yao Chan immediately rubbed his wounds by exerting force within the Flame Soul Pearl.Greetings the instant the wound closed and left no marks.
Yao Chan explained further, he said that with the level of the Golden Bone, the two of them could gather inner energy up to ten thousand knots and gather the qi of a hundred Crystals.
"Chan Gege is as great as what is qi, how is it different from Inner Energy?"
Now it was Yu Lian who voiced her curiosity with the so-called qi.
"Qi is another form of inner energy that is much purer and stronger. One crystal of qi was equivalent to a hundred knots of profound energy but its strength was ten times that of inner power."
Yao Chan then pointed his palm towards a small hill a hundred meters away before them. One second later a ball of energy shot out very quickly from his palm.
BLAAAARS
The energy ball hit the hill and flew dust, trees and rocks that were there. When the dust disappeared, the small hill disappeared from view.
Zhu Yin and Yu Lian's eyes glared wide at that. The two did not expect that the one qi crystal that Yao Chan used was capable of leveling a hill.
That afternoon, the two of them finally trained vigorously in order to have the strength that Yao Chan had shown earlier.
Zhu Yin was able to float well while repeatedly trying the technique for two hours.
Yao Chan meditated to form crystal qi as much time as he had. Because the next morning, he planned to visit the cave in the map of Zhu Long's Inheritance.
