Supreme Bone? Feed It to the Dogs!

Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the "Supreme Bone"!

The next second, a heavy golden bone appeared in his hand. Looking closely, he could see that its surface was covered in dense runes.

After weighing it in his hand, he found that it weighed a hundred jin.

After examining it carefully, Su Mu's eyes lit up. Though he did not know what kind of bone it was, he could tell that it was a treasure bone! With the experience from last time, he did not bother messing around with bone-type treasures like this anymore. No more boiling giant bones into soup.

He could simply transplant the bone directly into his body.

Su Mu studied the bone, yet could not determine where in the body it came from. An adult male body had 206 bones in total: 29 skull bones, 51 torso bones, and 126 limb bones.

In his previous life, Su Mu had earned full credits in human biology at university, so he knew the composition of the human skeleton like the back of his hand.

After confirming it repeatedly, he discovered that this bone should be a child bone, and one located in the chest.

Only infants had this kind of bone. Children actually had 217 to 218 bones. As the body developed, some bones fused together and became one.

After determining that it was a child bone, Su Mu picked up the Supreme Bone, passed it directly through his chest, and placed it close to his heart.

After transplanting the Supreme Bone,

Su Mu sat down cross-legged and quietly waited for changes.

Yet after waiting several full seconds, nothing happened. Su Mu's brows furrowed tightly.

What Supreme Bone? Take it out and feed it to the dogs! Just as Su Mu was about to pull out the Supreme Bone, it connected to the sternum in his chest.

The next second, two powerful energies collided within his body! It was the Supreme Bone and Su Mu's Golden Bone continuously clashing.

Some time ago, Su Mu had obtained a Golden Skeleton. Through a freak twist of fate, that mysterious Golden Skeleton had fused into his fleshly body. As a result, he had rocketed from the Great Ascension Initial Stage all the way to the Great Ascension Late Stage, and his body had been greatly strengthened as well.

Now that he had transplanted another Supreme Bone, perhaps due to incompatibility, the Supreme Bone and the Golden Bone in his body repelled each other.

The battle between the two bones left Su Mu in extreme discomfort. His face flushed red as he continuously circulated spiritual power, trying to make the Supreme Bone and Golden Bone compatible.

After only a few breaths, the Golden Bone was already showing signs of being suppressed. If this continued, the Golden Bone would surely be devoured by the Supreme Bone. That was not a good thing for Su Mu.

He circulated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, using the Divine Elephant Particles to fuse the two bones and make them compatible.

Although it had some effect, he had only cultivated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength to the third level, so its effects were limited.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Su Mu suddenly roared, "Whoever refuses to behave, I'll take you out and feed you to the dogs!"

The moment those words were spoken, it was as though the Golden Bone and Supreme Bone understood Su Mu. The rejection and collisions between them instantly vanished.

Very quickly, the two bones became perfectly compatible.

True · Era of Deterrence.

Without a threat, they really did not know who was the oldest??

As the two bones fused, Su Mu's aura instantly soared, and his fleshly body underwent another all-around improvement.

And not only that—he could feel that the "Kidney Divine Treasury" among the five viscera had been greatly enhanced.

The kidneys governed the bones, their brilliance manifested in the hair, and they opened into the ears.

Su Mu was quite knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine.

He remembered that the "Plain Questions: Great Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang" stated, "The kidneys generate bone marrow." Marrow was stored within the bone cavities to nourish the skeleton; hence the saying, "When the kidneys are full, the marrow is solid."

When the kidneys were strong, the bone marrow was plentiful, the bones were sturdy, and movement was agile and vigorous.

Their brilliance manifested in the hair: the kidneys stored essence, and essence could transform into blood. When essence blood was abundant, the hair would be thick and lustrous.

They opened into the ears: the kidneys opened into the ears. Nourishing the kidneys meant nourishing the ears. Thick, large ears were a sign of abundant kidney qi; people with thin, small ears generally suffered from deficient kidney qi.

Therefore, once Su Mu's bones improved, the corresponding "Kidney Divine Treasury" would certainly improve as well.

Moreover, Su Mu could feel that with the Supreme Bone and Golden Bone, cultivating the "Kidney Divine Treasury" was merely a matter of time.

After drawing the Supreme Bone, his Favor Points had also been spent completely clean, without a single bit left.

Next, he would have to return to the miserable days of working to earn Favor Points.

"Huh?"

"What's this thing?"

Early that morning, Su Mu went to Silkgrass Shallows to collect his Fish Traps. When he opened the third trap, he discovered an extremely fat crab.

This crab differed from ordinary crabs. First, it was enormous—fully one meter wide, about the size of a king crab. Its shell was cyan gray, somewhat like a mud crab, but it had four pincers. Its eyes were pale blue, and it stared at Su Mu in terror.

Su Mu stepped on the crab with one foot, found a vine nearby, and tied it up tightly like a Chinese Mitten Crab before placing it on the shore.

He continued checking the remaining Fish Traps. Whenever Su Mu had free time these past few days, he had woven several more. He now had ten Fish Traps in the water, casting a wide net.

"Huh?"

"There's another one."

In the last Fish Trap, Su Mu found another similar crab. Its shell was black, and it had two more pincers than the previous crab—a full six pincers.

However, this one was male and somewhat smaller.

Su Mu judged their sex by their abdomens. Anyone who ate crabs often knew that male crabs had triangular abdomens, while female crabs had round or oval abdomens.

After carrying the male crab ashore, he tied it up tightly with vines as well and placed it beside the female crab.

For some reason, the two crabs looked strangely well-matched together. Could they be a pair?

At that moment, Su Mu felt a sting in his leg. Looking down, he found a palm-sized little crab had given his leg a pinch.

Su Mu grabbed the little crab in one hand. He normally did not eat crabs this small, but it had dared to pinch him?

Then he could not let it go.

In no time at all, he tied up the little crab too. One male, one female, and one small crab—they looked just like a family.

Perfect. Now the whole family was together nice and neat.

The other Fish Traps among the ten were filled with a pile of junk. He released all the small fish and shrimp. That was the rule of Fishing Enthusiasts: big catches could be hung from the waist and paraded around to show off, but small catches were generally released.

Of course, that was only generally speaking. Some extreme Fishing Enthusiasts upheld the belief that they would never come back empty-handed. If they could not catch fish, they would pluck the Black Pit Boss's chickens and ducks. Some were even worse—they would carry off cattle and sheep overnight! We Fishing Enthusiasts would never come back empty-handed!

Carrying the family of three crabs, he returned to the front of his wooden hut.

He had been here for so long and had eaten Fish and Shrimp, but he had yet to taste crab.
