Bone Setting [Thank you to Hall Master White Bear for working hard to eat!]

As Xiao Ran and his companion passed the second trial and plundered all the wild resources on the mountain, the inner disciples, instructors, Subsidiary Sect leaders, elders, and National Teacher from various countries who were suspended in mid-air at the foot of the mountain also moved to the mountainside and hovered below the elders' seats.

Everyone wanted to get closer to observe and make sure the two of them weren't cheating or doing anything underhanded.

As it turned out, Xiao Ran and his companion came openly, actually running into the Magma Cave Abode to hunt the Magma Swallowing Beast! Everyone was astonished.

"Elder, isn't this against the rules?"

"This..."

"It's not against the rules!"

"Even if it doesn't break the rules, it should still be dangerous. The cave is full of secret passages and is covered with seals, making it easy to get lost. There's also a Golden Core level giant Magma Swallowing Beast and hundreds of smaller Magma Swallowing Beast..."

Huangfu Qun remained silent throughout.

Seeing that he was losing face, True Person Moxia had no choice but to say, "They brought the danger upon themselves."

Lingzhou Yue and True Person Yinyue didn't seem to care much.

True Person Yinyue gave him the Blood Burst Pill, Lingzhou Yue fused the Bone of the Blood Moon into Xiao Ran's body. With Xiao Ran Chuyan going down into the cave together, they could look after each other and wouldn't be in any real danger.

No one knew of Little Mist's existence.

Magma Cave Abode.

The scalding lava had completely submerged the cave space.

Xiao Ran was still bubbling and enduring the burning sensation.

He no longer needed to be upside down; the magma was so dense that it directly pressed him against the ceiling, and the surging magma bubbles constantly squeezed his thin, close-fitting Spiritual Energy shield.

Chuyan, who was inside a pale green spherical Spiritual Energy shield, suddenly couldn't hear Xiao Ran's whispers and felt somewhat anxious.

However, through Xiao Ran's continuous positioning of the Magma Swallowing Beast's vital points, she has already grasped the logic of the vital point's movement.

Only then did she realize that this Magma Swallowing Beast had obtained its enormous lava throughput through this underhanded trick, making it much stronger than her, who was also at the Golden Core Realm.

Cheating will ultimately leave a fatal flaw; this is an unchanging truth in the Cultivation World.

Now.

The Magma Swallowing Beast's tactic is simple: remain motionless in the magma and slowly wear you down.

Chuyan's eyes darted around, deliberately revealing her anxious feelings about Xiao Ran's life or death.

He transformed his Spiritual Energy shield into a shuttle shape amidst the turbid magma, and with a swift movement, charged towards the Magma Swallowing Beast.

Her Sewing Needle Sword Art, though meticulous in its moves, inadvertently became chaotic due to her impatience.

One sword thrust, each strike a devastating blow!

The Magma Swallowing Beast remained unmoved, easily withstanding Chuyan's attacks thanks to its thick hide.

Until Xiao Ran became increasingly anxious...

Sudden!

The Magma Swallowing Beast moved.

It seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful punch, sending Chuyan's petite body flying backward.

He was slammed against the corner of the wall and passed out. His internal organs were ruptured by the force of the punch, and his hip bone cracked after hitting a protruding stone on the wall.

Crimson blood sprayed into the green Spiritual Energy shield, gradually dimming and threatening to dissipate.

The slender silver sword fell into the lava...

Although she seemed to be faking her death, the Magma Swallowing Beast didn't have time to care. It raised its giant leg and strode towards Xiao Ran.

It seems that, just as Xiao Ran expected, Little Mist didn't really want to kill him directly... Wouldn't it be better to capture him and dissect him? The Magma Swallowing Beast opened its mouth wide, stretched out its giant hand, grabbed Xiao Ran from a distance, and put him into its mouth.

Just then, Chuyan, who was seriously injured behind him, moved her palm slightly and remotely controlled her silver sword, thrusting it towards the back of its head.

The rapier pierced through the gap in the back of the Magma Swallowing Beast's head, circled its brain, and then emerged from its right eye—

Whoosh! The Magma Swallowing Beast's vital point was now its right eye.

The giant hand gripping Xiao Ran was suspended halfway up his mouth.

The Eye of Gray Mist suddenly paused.

With my eyes in front of me and my back to Chuyan, I thought it would be fine.

Unexpectedly, the sword was too thin and too precise. It seemed to have circled in the mind, looking at the gap between the rock crevice and the Spiritual Meridian, before finally piercing out from the right eye!

The Gray Mist solidified instantly, dimmed, and then dissipated, transforming into gushing lava in the blink of an eye.

The massive lava body then shattered! Xiao Ran was once again shoved onto the ceiling by the rolling lava, his Spiritual Energy shield dimmed to the extreme, and his entire body was charred.

Chuyan, dragging her injured little body, used her sword to pluck out a beast core the size of a human head, grabbed Xiao Ran, and flew off the surface of the paddle.

We arrived at the rocky path.

As the Gray Mist dissipated, the Magma Swallowing Beast died, and the more than one hundred smaller Magma Swallowing Beast outside the boulder dispersed on their own.

Chuyan swung her sword and split the boulder, carrying Xiao Ran out of the cave and into the thorny forest, where they found a secluded spot to rest.

She casually left Xiao Ran under the tree.

Xiao Ran was already burnt.

She could smell the fragrance too.

But it wasn't the smell of meat; it was more like the smell of oil...

She then stomped on Xiao Ran's stomach.

"Stop playing dead."

Xiao Ran, blackened and charred, leaped up.

His body jolted, and he shook off a thick layer of charred crust from his clothes.

Upon closer inspection, Chuyan realized it was a mixture of some kind of oil stains and the black charred layer from the burnt clothes.

While she looked down at the burning object, Xiao Ran changed his clothes again.

This was not the robe of Direct Disciple, but one of several sets of lay brocade robes given by Lin Yunzi. Wearing it on Xiao Ran's slender body, he had the elegance of a young master from a noble family.

Xiao Ran took a moment to glance at the Black Ring Group.

As expected... Little Mist remained silent.

With no new intelligence, what else is there to say?

Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and patted off the remaining black oil stains on his body.

"I never imagined that the oil extracted from the Black Rapeseed I grow could have the effect of sunscreen."

Chuyan looked up and happened to see Xiao Ran dressed in brocade robes. She suddenly remembered her handsome Imperial Brother.

But Xiao Ran was not only taller and more well-proportioned than Imperial Brother, but also much more handsome, making it hard to look away.

After a moment of stunned silence, he explained, "It's a moisturizing oil, it's cooling... It's used in the palace specifically for sun protection and moisturizing, I've seen many Imperial Concubine using it."

Is this moisturizer even real? Xiao Ran pondered for a long time before finally complaining.

"Slow down, or I'll burn it."

Chuyan pouted.

"Why do I have a feeling you won't die so easily?"

Xiao Ran looked at her carefully.

After discovering that she had been feigning nervousness and indiscriminately killing, and that she had pretended to be knocked unconscious, she was able to find the logic behind moving her vital points in such a short time and kill her with a single sword strike—

Don't underestimate this little girl! She didn't cultivate immortality for a hundred years, but still managed to reach the Golden Core Realm by indulging in lewd fantasies every day.

We shouldn't underestimate her just because she's small! If it weren't for her, I would have really revealed my true strength this time.

This was a rare moment of brilliance for her!

It seems I can no longer treat her as a tool.

Xiao Ran did not praise her, but simply nodded slowly.

"You're injured."

Chuyan's face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her body went limp and she fainted, only to be Xiao Ran's arms with a simple maneuver.

Xiao Ran glanced at her body briefly...

His internal organs were shattered by the force of the punch, and his hip bone at the base of his thigh was also fractured from hitting a protruding rock on the wall. He has only managed to hold on until now thanks to his Spiritual Power.

Xiao Ran waved his sword from a distance, cut some soft, tender grass cores, spread them on the ground to make a bed, and placed Chuyan on the grass.

He then fed her some warm wine and healing pills.

Warm wine can replenish blood, and medicinal pills can nourish internal organs.

Cultivators possess strong vitality and Spiritual Power, enabling them to quickly recover from any external injuries.

After being given warm wine and medicine, the shattered internal organs will heal after a while.

The internal organs are not a major problem, but the bone issues need to be taken seriously.

Cultivators have abundant Spiritual Power, so broken bones must be properly set, otherwise they will grow back erratically.

There was once a cultivator whose bone fracture was not set. In the end, the bone grew erratically, and two ribs grew out of his mouth along his spine.

As the old saying goes: a dog's mouth finally spewed out ivory.

Bone setting must be done immediately, without any delay.

Xiao Ran took out a Sword Bamboo from the System Space, cut it vertically, removed the inner membrane, and made a special bamboo membrane glove for easy bone setting.

"The Sword Inheritance Assembly will continue. I'll set your bones now, so please bear with it."

Chuyan woke up groggily, her face pale.

"I'll answer it myself."

Xiao Ran calmly said, "I'm wearing bamboo membrane gloves on both hands, so I won't touch your buttocks or thighs."

Chuyan's voice was already soft and hoarse, and with her weakness, it came out as delicate as a mosquito's buzz.

"That's not the reason... I'm afraid you don't know how to set bones properly, and if you do it wrong, my good figure will be ruined."

Great figure...

Okay, although she's short, she has good proportions and curves, so in some ways she can be considered to have a good figure!

Xiao Ran nodded and casually took off his bamboo membrane gloves.

"Since that's not the reason, I won't wear bamboo membrane gloves. It'll be more stable to do it barehanded."

"You..."

Xiao Ran first turned Chuyan's small body over.

The fracture and dislocation occurred slightly above the hamstring.

The location is alright. If the fracture were at the base of the foreleg, Xiao Ran wouldn't care, lest some divine beast from another dimension invade.

Chuyan's bamboo membrane stockings are pantyhose, so she has to take them off.

Xiao Ran gently pulled it off, her movements extremely professional, revealing only a small section of her inner thigh.

Chuyan is quite small and cute, without much of a lewd vibe, but her curves are much more graceful than a child's, showing that she is indeed an adult.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye—

Another highlight moment for the young girl! Fortunately, Xiao Ran could still bear this level of pain. If he were to have his Master's bones set in the same position, he would vomit blood on the spot.

Bone setting is a highly difficult technique; it takes time and requires gentle movements, precise positioning, and the right amount of force.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

The girl whispered.

Xiao Ran only said:

"You just set my bones too... Is there any bone setting that doesn't hurt? I can only find the perfect position and force by observing your pain response; if you're afraid of pain, you can use Anesthetic, but then I can only set the correct position at most, but I can't achieve perfect bone fusion, and your leg bone will not be as unobstructed as the original bone in the future."

Chuyan stuck out her butt and chuckled.

"You don't need to spout so many theories to cover up your lustful eyes, I know it all."

"You know nothing!" Xiao Ran suddenly increased his strength and instantly set the bone.

"Ouch—it hurts!"
