Bone Refinement

As Shentu Nantian made this suggestion, everyone in the room turned their attention to Yi Yun.

A significant number of people present were unaware of Shentu Nantian's thoughts, nor did they know that Lin Xin Tong's special affection for Yi Yun had made Shentu Nantian dislike Yi Yun no matter what.

"Yi Yun, don't agree. Shentu Nantian is deliberately trying to embarrass you."

Just then, Lin Xin Tong's spiritual transmission rang in Yi Yun's ear. Lin Xin Tong had already heard from Su Jie that Yi Yun had a great grudge against Shentu Nantian, which was why he had to change his identity.

"Yi Yun, you've never even heard of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect, so you certainly don't understand its Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect Savage Heaven Technique inheritance. You don't know that the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect's inheritance differs from the existing Savage Heaven Technique inheritance in the Tianyuan Realm in many ways. If you agree to this so easily, you'll be playing right into Shentu Nantian's hands!"

"Oh? There's a discrepancy in the inheritance system?" Yi Yun's heart stirred, and he looked at Lin Xin Tong Lin Xin Tong's use of Yuan Qi to transmit her voice at this moment still warmed his heart.

However, Yi Yun didn't really care whether the inheritance system was the same. Not to mention the Savage Heaven Technique inheritance of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect, even the Savage Heaven Technique inheritance that is currently the mainstream in the Tianyuan Realm, Yi Yun didn't know much about it at all. Especially regarding energy seal formation, Yi Yun only knew about the Mysterious Crystal Hand and the Minor Thousand Seal.

With just these two methods, how much could Yi Yun possibly understand about the mainstream Savage Heaven Technique?

Therefore, the existence of any mystery within the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect's inheritance has little impact on Yi Yun.

"Thank you, Miss Lin, but... I still want to give it a try..."

Yi Yun's words made Lin Xin Tong frown slightly. "Yi Yun, I know you have a grudge against Shentu Nantian and want to get revenge, but now is not the time. You are too weak, and acting rashly will only cause you to suffer."

Yi Yun smiled and said, "It's just a competition of the Savage Heaven Technique, not a life-or-death duel. Even if I suffer a loss, it's nothing. It's just a loss of face for me. Anyway, I'm just a newcomer in the Lin family, and I'm not much of a figure to begin with. What does losing face matter?"

"If I'm afraid of losing now and dare not accept Shentu Nantian's challenge, then it's as if I'm cowardly. Today's competition isn't a matter of life and death. If I refuse even this, then in the future, in a real life- Shentu Nantian -death situation, perhaps it will be just the two of us, with no one to protect me. At that time, can I still refuse?"

Yi Yun's question stumped Lin Xin Tong.

Indeed, when someone truly intends to kill you, do they need to ask if you agree?

Compared to the life-or-death battles of that time, the current battles using the Savage Heaven Technique are indeed nothing.

Having figured all this out, Lin Xin Tong gave Yi Yun a deep look. She didn't know what expression was on his face behind his mask. She found it hard to believe that the boy she met in Yunhuang would grow up to where he is today.

Moreover, at only fifteen years old, after incurring a deep hatred with Shentu Nantian, he remained calm and composed, demonstrating such rational analysis and courage.

"Yi Yun ...you're right, I was indeed petty. But I must remind you, Shentu Nantian is ruthless and narrow-minded. Even if he doesn't know your true identity, he might still try to kill you."

"Yes, I understand." Yi Yun nodded. "Don't worry, Miss Lin, I know what I'm doing."

Yi Yun spoke, he turned his gaze to Shentu Nantian.

"Hey kid, do you agree or not?" Shentu Hai asked Yi Yun with a mocking smile.

Yi Yun completely ignored Shentu Hai. He lightly clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "I am honored that Young Master Nantian thinks so highly of me and has given me this opportunity to hone my skills in the Savage Heaven Technique. Naturally, I have no reason to object!"

Yi Yun spoke very "sincerely," and Shentu Hai and Shentu Feng almost burst out laughing when they heard it.

What an idiot! Isn't he the type who gets sold out and then still pays the seller?

"Haha, Junior Brother Yun is so cheerful! Alright! Let's begin then."

Shentu Nantian spoke, he took out an array plate from his Space Ring. This array plate was five feet wide, square, and covered with countless densely packed runes that formed a perfect circle.

A single array plate embodies the Chinese concept of a round heaven and a square earth.

Centered on Shentu Nantian, Yi Yun, Shentu Hai, and Shentu Feng stand in three positions around him in a triangular formation.

The Lin family members around them all stared at the four people in the center of the square.

Although they didn't know Shentu Nantian's feelings for Yi Yun, they were clear that Shentu Nantian's purpose in bringing out the secret formula of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect at this time was to bring honor to the Shentu Family.

Perhaps because Yi Yun had humiliated Song Ziyue so badly, Shentu Nantian had no choice but to step forward and save face for the Shentu Family.

Under these circumstances, how could Shentu Nantian allow Yi Yun to shine during this collaborative bone-refining process?

By having Shentu Feng and Shentu Hai play together, cooperating with Yi Yun, it's likely that they also had the intention of outshining Yi Yun.

"This Junior Brother Yun has some nerve. He's never even heard of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect, yet he's already cooperating with Shentu Nantian. He's going to make a fool of himself in a moment."

On the pavilion in the middle of the lake, some members of the Lin family were worried about Yi Yun.

"Too much boldness can sometimes turn into stubbornness, or even foolishness... If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to this."

People were discussing among themselves when Shentu Nantian took out twelve pieces of desolate bone from his Space Ring. As soon as these twelve pieces of desolate bone appeared, they emitted specks of light in the air.

The twelve bones, some as lustrous as jade, others simple and unadorned, subtly stirred up small vortexes of primordial energy around them.

These bones are clearly not ordinary!

"Hmm? Among these desolate bones, some seem to be the bones of Ancient Remnant Species!"

The Savage Heaven Master present possessed exceptional eyesight. Although they couldn't identify the specific wild beasts from which the bones came, they could determine their grade. Ordinary wild bones could never contain such powerful Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

"Could it be that Shentu Nantian already possesses the ability to refine the bones of Ancient Remnant Species?"

Many people were astonished upon realizing this. Shentu Nantian was only thirty years old; to martial artists with long lifespans, he was still a junior. To be so young and yet able to refine the desolate bones of Ancient Remnant Species —this was simply incredible!

"That's not the case..." At this moment, an old man shook his head in denial, "That's not the desolate bone of Ancient Remnant Species, but rather a desolate bone that has been treated using an ancient secret method, raising its grade by almost one level. This should be a secret technique belonging to the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect!"

In the Lin family, there are elders of the older generation who, although they do not understand the inheritance system of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect, have read books that introduce the secret techniques of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect.

"Upgrade the grade of the Desolate Bone?" People were astonished. Such a method existed?

"Indeed, it does, but its effect is not as great as you think, because you have to pay various prices to upgrade the grade of the Desolate Bone."

"Actually, with the Shentu Family's resources, they wouldn't lack the bones of Ancient Remnant Species at all. However, Shentu Nantian still uses this roundabout method because, with his strength, handling several Ancient Remnant Species bones at the same time would probably be a bit of a stretch."

As the old man was speaking, Shentu Nantian raised his hand, and the twelve pieces of desolate bone split into three groups, shooting towards Shentu Hai, Shentu Feng Yi Yun respectively!

These desolate bones ended up in the hands of the three men, four pieces for each of them.

"This is..." People were shocked. "Could it be that Shentu Nantian wants these teenagers to extract the Savage Power of the wilderness from the bones?"

For Yi Yun and his group, extracting the Savage Power contained within a desolate bone of this level would probably be too much to ask.

At this moment, Shentu Nantian smiled slightly and said, "The three of you will lend me a hand. Don't worry, I will soon set up an array that will amplify your spiritual power, enough to extract the Savage Power from the wasteland bones!"
