Peach Blossom Dock:
Chu Qing stared at his fingers.
Ever since he had used that thread of Dragon Power yesterday, a slight problem had appeared in his fingers.
No, it was not just his fingers. The sinews, bones, flesh, and even skin from the first Dragon Tendon to his fingers had all developed problems.

If Dragon Power could cultivate an Outsider Bone, could it
