Scale Bone Gall
The news of Yue Hua accepting disciples quickly spread throughout Tai'a Divine City.
People all assumed that Yue Hua had taken on Personal Disciple, unaware that Yue Hua had only become Provisional Master. If they knew, their reactions would be quite different.
Yang Yuefeng was dealt another heavy blow after hearing the news that Yue Hua had taken Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er as her disciples!
These past few days, Yang Yuefeng has been in a daze, locking himself in his room during the day and not seeing anyone at all.
At Yang Yuefeng's level, he was a leading figure among the younger generation of the Prince Chu's Estate, second only to the Prince Chu. In his social circle, his reputation was paramount.
But now, he has become the biggest joke in Tai'a Divine City.
When Yue Hua was giving her lecture, Yang Yuefeng mocked Yi Yun, acting superior. But just the next day, Yi Yun's face was slapped!
Seizing this opportunity, some people who were not on good terms with Yang Yuefeng deliberately exaggerated and publicized Yang Yuefeng past performance in public, including his "passionate" words. In no time, Yang Yuefeng became a laughing stock in the circle of aristocratic playboys.
Whenever he thinks about this incident, Yang Yuefeng goes berserk; he smashes almost everything in his room.
"Yi Yun! I'll remember this!"
Yang Yuefeng dared not hate Yue Hua; the only person he could hate was Yi Yun. From the failure to retract the <True Understanding of Laws> to becoming the clown of Tai'a Divine City, it was all thanks to Yi Yun.
He was determined to settle this score someday.
At this moment, the Desolate God Hall—
Yi Yun was in the sixth hall of the Desolate God Hall, where he had been for a full eight hours.
The Ancient Remnant Species sculpture in front of Yi Yun was a huge blood-red firebird.
The firebird spread its wings and soared, its entire body covered in Great Evolution True Gold, like a blazing sun, burning brightly before Yi Yun.
Yi Yun was standing almost right in front of the firebird, less than three feet away. The astonishing heat made Yi Yun feel as if he were being burned by a thousand flames, his whole body burning hot.
Sweat poured out, only to evaporate into water vapor in an instant; that feeling was quite unbearable.
"These Seven-colored Blood Feather are truly terrifying..."
Yi Yun was panting heavily; he had been to the Sixth Desolate God Hall, where the Seven-colored Blood Feather was located, many times already.
The Seven-colored Blood Feather was chosen by the first city lord of Tai'a Divine City. It is an Ancient Remnant Species with a trace of the bloodline of the ancient Three-legged Golden Crow. When Yi Yun was cultivating the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, he chose this Desolate God Hall. Cultivating Pure Yang Energy here made it twice as effective with half the effort.
Before this, Yi Yun would only stay in the Sixth Desolate God Hall for one or two hours each time, never for eight hours like today.
This is truly a major challenge for Yi Yun.
Yi Yun continuously manipulated the Pure Yang Power within the No. 6 Desolate God Hall using the Purple Crystal, and simultaneously used this Pure Yang Power to comprehend the <Myriad Beast Catalog>!
It is extremely difficult to cultivate Dharma Aspect Totem using the <Myriad Beast Catalog>. This is not only a Totem Secret Method prepared for sages, but it is also an incomplete scroll.
Even with the help of the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun still found it extremely difficult to comprehend the <Myriad Beast Catalog>.
"Ancient Remnant Species killed by others, and after millions of years, are indeed unsuitable for condensing Dharma Aspect Totem."
Yi Yun endured the torment of the high temperature, feeling a slight pang of regret.
To cultivate the <Myriad Beast Catalog>, it is best to condense the energy of Ancient Remnant Species.
Martial artists must absorb the energy of the wild beasts they have killed in order to cultivate their Dharma Aspect Totem. The Seven-colored Blood Feather in front of him had been dead for many years, and even with the help of the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun was unable to bind this energy to condense it into his own Dharma Aspect Totem.
"Although Purple Crystal is extraordinary, sometimes it still follows certain unseen rules."
Yi Yun silently thought to himself, "Purple Crystal has absolute control over energy, but it is not omnipotent. For example, Purple Crystal cannot absorb energy controlled by life."
Now, in terms of condensing Dharma Aspect Totem, Purple Crystal also follows the rules of Dharma Aspect Totem.
"It seems I must personally hunt wild beasts to condense my own Dharma Aspect Totem. With my current strength, hunting Ancient Remnant Species is simply unrealistic. I can only use some low-level wild beasts instead. But hunting low-level wild beasts will make it difficult to cultivate the <Myriad Beast Catalog>."
The path Yi Yun chose was much more difficult than others from the very beginning.
Not only the Dharma Aspect Totem, but also the Thirty-two Sword Dao Characters, the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, and the Pure Yang Dao— Yi Yun chose all of these extremely difficult ones.
It's difficult to get started, and even more difficult to master, but once you've mastered it, the benefits to Yi Yun are self-evident.
Others might need to modify their secret methods midway and delve into them again, Yi Yun doesn't need to. These great principles are already enough for Yi Yun to cultivate to an extremely high level.
In the ninth hour, Yi Yun emerged from the No. 6 Desolate God Hall.
His entire body was burning red; these nine hours of cultivation were truly torture for Yi Yun.
Although the energy of the Seven-colored Blood Feather could not be used to condense Dharma Aspect Totem, Yi Yun did not come away empty-handed. With the help of the Pure Yang Power in the Sixth Desolate God Hall, he continuously deduced the <Myriad Beast Catalog>. Now, Yi Yun's understanding of the <Myriad Beast Catalog> has become increasingly profound.
Once Yi Yun actually goes to the Divine Wilderness to hunt wild beasts, it will be much easier to condense the Dharma Aspect Totem of the <Myriad Beast Catalog>.
Yi Yun dragged his tired body back to his residence, took a comfortable shower, and meditated for half an hour before slowly recovering.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yi Yun pushed open the door and saw Luo Huo'er's little maid standing at the door.
She looked at Yi Yun and stammered, "Teacher Yue Hua, the homework I assigned you... you have to finish it and then... give it to Teacher Yue Hua for grading."
The maidservant handed a jade slip to Yi Yun and then ran away.
Yi Yun smiled and scanned the jade slip with his spiritual power. It contained instructions on energy extraction and basic hand seals for the Savage Heaven Master. Once Yi Yun these, he would show them to Yue Hua would then point out any shortcomings in his technique.
"I never expected Master Yuehua to teach me so diligently..."
Such a serious teaching method made Yi Yun feel flattered. He put away the jade slip and walked towards the Savage Heaven Master Association.
The Savage Heaven Technique Association has a dedicated bone-refining room, and Yue Hua has also designated a special area for Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er, where the Savage Heaven Technique facilities are of the highest quality.
Yi Yun pushed open the door to the Bone Refining Chamber, and Luo Huo'er was already inside.
Besides Luo Huo'er, there was also Luo Huo'er's maid Dong'er and six or seven young girls.
These girls had clearly received Luo Huo'er's permission to enter this place; they were also apprentices of the Savage Heaven Master.
"President, what do you think of my technique?"
A girl with a ponytail spoke to Luo Huo'er, while taking out a scroll. On the scroll was a rune formed from condensed energy.
President?
Yi Yun was taken aback. How did Luo Huo'er become the president?
After thinking for a moment, Yi Yun remembered that Luo Huo'er had organized the Luo Huo Association, which was the second largest gang in the entire Tai'a Divine City after the Ling Xiao Alliance.
Luo Huo'er herself is the president.
"This little girl named her gang after herself; she's quite narcissistic," Yi Yun chuckled to himself, recalling what Luo Huo'er said to herself in the mirror when they first met.
"You're here?" Luo Huo'er glanced at Yi Yun, then greeted him with a smile. She casually pointed to a spot and said, "You can stay there. Xiao Ling, make way."
"Yes, Chairman."
The girl named Xiaoling obediently gave her seat to Yi Yun. These girls were clearly members of the Luo Huo Association.
The room was filled with beautiful women, with Yi Yun being the only man. Yi Yun stroked his chin. Why was Luo Huo'er being so kind to him today? And even smiling at him?
Yi Yun walked to his seat, took out the jade slip, and prepared to complete the assignment given by Yue Hua.
"Everything is ready. Master had someone deliver it." Luo Huo'er said, pointing to the stone table in front of Yi Yun, which was piled with materials, all of which were indeed necessary for her studies.
"Okay." Yi Yun nodded. He noticed that Luo Huo'er's eyes were wandering and she wasn't looking at him when she spoke.
Yi Yun glanced at the materials, which were exactly the same as those on Luo Huo'er's desk. In terms of energy extraction, Yi Yun was even better than Luo Huo'er, so the course content was exactly the same.
Yi Yun recalled what Yue Hua had taught in class and reached for the materials, but just as his hand touched one of them, he suddenly sensed something was wrong...
Um?
Yi Yun was slightly taken aback, because with the Purple Crystal inside his body, Yi Yun was extremely sensitive to changes in energy.
This material is strange...
Yi Yun examined the document, which was titled Scale Bone Gall).
This is the gallbladder of the wild beast, the Qilin Scale Snake. The Scale Snake is very peculiar; its gallbladder is not covered by a fleshy sac, but by a half-inch-thick layer of bone.
A layer of bone encasing bile—this type of gallbladder is unique to the Scale Snake.
The Scale Bone Gall is the most valuable material from the entire Scale Snake. Extracting its Scale Bone Gall is not easy, and failure is easily achieved. This is why Master Yuehua used it to assign homework.
Sensing something was wrong, Yi Yun immediately activated his Energy Vision.
Once the Energy Vision is activated, everything around transforms into the most primordial energy form, and all appearances disappear.
Yi Yun finally saw the secret hidden within the Scale Bone Gall!
Inside this desolate bone, there is a strange energy node.
At this juncture, four different Savage Power converge, and these energies are bound by a cursed seal, maintaining a delicate balance.
They cancel each other out, making them extremely well-hidden. If Yi Yun hadn't possessed Energy Vision, it would have been very difficult to detect their existence.
After a brief analysis, Yi Yun understood that as long as he injected his spiritual power into this piece of desolate bone in an attempt to extract energy, he would break the delicate balance between the four Savage Power, after which the Scale Bone Gall would explode!
Because the energy was not strong, the explosion would not harm Yi Yun, but it would splatter bitter bile all over Yi Yun.
