The Uses of Bones

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: I believe that if this were a Hundred Thousand Year soul bone, its power would definitely be far greater than that Survival Skull from the Maze Tree.

Chen Huang opened the Chat Group and accepted the reward it had just issued. He obtained his First Soul Ring, and since it was a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, the Chat Group had awarded two batches of Points. However, each batch only had 500. Still, it was much better than last time.

Loli Connoisseur: Is that so? It is a soul bone from a Dragon Type Soul Beast, after all. Its power really is different. But a lower age is better. I can't use one with an age that's too high.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: A dragon soul bone? But aren't salamanders those things that look like Giant Salamanders, about the same size? If I remember correctly, mortals even use them as medicine. They don't have any dragon bloodline at all.

Yang Jian had once suffered through an unhappy marriage. In this group, no one understood dragons better than he did.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: But Giant Salamanders look a lot like dragons too. They're just smaller and thicker, and they don't have such majestic heads, whiskers, manes, dorsal fins, or tails.

Zhang Sanfeng was already one hundred and four years old, but wasn't one hundred and something still one hundred and something? That was why the Chat Group had never changed his nickname. Perhaps it simply found the matter uninteresting.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: If the Dragon Clan heard someone say Giant Salamanders looked like them, the Giant Salamanders would definitely meet a miserable end.

The Dragon Clan had no brains, loved meddling in other people's affairs, and had terrible tempers. Nothing they did would be surprising, Yang Jian thought.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Ah, salamanders. Aren't those medicinal ingredients?

Loli Connoisseur: The salamanders I mean are usually enormous and have Western Dragon bloodlines. They are a type of Dragon Type Soul Beast. The difference between them and Western Dragons lies in their heads and the wings on their backs. Sigh, I'll draw them for you.

The Chat Group's functions were constantly being updated. For example, it had now added a Demonstration Function. He opened it and drew a Western Dragon and a salamander on the Demonstration Board.

His Mental Power was powerful, so he quickly picked up things like drawing. He could even draw all the Soul Beasts he had seen in the school library.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: They vaguely look a little alike.

Loli Connoisseur: Eh, if you look at them long enough, they start to seem alike. Whatever. Whether they're Eastern Dragons or Western Dragons, they aren't all that strong.

At least, that was how it was in every book Chen Huang had read that featured dragons. In Journey to the West, White Dragon was cuckolded, then made to serve as Tang Sanzang's mount. In the end, he was allowed to coil around a Spirit Mountain Pillar.

In Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child, dragons were also at the bottom of society. Only in stories where certain protagonists possessed Dragon Clan bloodlines were dragons absurdly powerful.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: I wonder who gave you that confidence. The Dragon Clan is not weak. At the very least, beating you would be easy.

Loli Connoisseur: There are plenty of Dragon Type Soul Beasts in my world that I can't defeat either, but that doesn't stop me from looking down on them.

He felt that the Dragon Clan were losers, while the God Realm Gods were somewhat hypocritical. He didn't think much of either.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: How can you say that so righteously?

Black Arm Zephyr: Oh, are you talking about dragons? That sort of thing seems to have gone extinct in my world long ago. If possible, I'd really like to see one.

Fat Otaku Hammer God: Dragons? That really brings back memories. I defeated quite a few of those things back in the day.

Thor ranked second in age among all the group members, seemingly a little younger than Yang Jian. He was apparently already over Fifteen Hundred Years old, about the same age as the First Soul Ring Chen Huang had just obtained.

Loli Connoisseur: Brothers, I've already obtained my First Soul Ring! A Fifteen Hundred Year Purple Spirit Ring. I think that's worth mentioning.

Fat Otaku Hammer God: No, no, there's nothing worth mentioning. Even those older than me can't beat me. And I'm Thor. Your world has gods too, so you should know how impressive I am, right?

Only then did everyone remember that Thor had said he was Fifteen Hundred Years old.

Loli Connoisseur: Aren't you the Hammer God? Also, it seems Thor in our world is already dead.

Fat Otaku Hammer God: . I am Thor. My hammer was crushed by my sister, and my weapon now is Stormbreaker, okay? Thor in your world must have been inferior to others. If it were me, that would never have happened.

Though Thor said that, he felt some sympathy for the deceased Thor in that world. We're the same. Although I'm still alive, there's not much difference between me and the dead.

Loli Connoisseur: Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. If we keep going, we'll get off topic. I'm happy today, so I'm sending everyone red packets.

Chen Huang picked out several skeletons, put them into red packets, and sent them out.

Fat Otaku Hammer God claimed your red packet.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms claimed your red packet.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: A Bear Skeleton?

Fat Otaku Hammer God: I got a Deer Skeleton. It reminds me of my brother.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Mine is Ox Bone.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: This old Daoist got Tiger Bone.

Black Arm Zephyr: I have plenty of bones bigger than these here.

Divine Chef Little Fu Gui: Mine is Ox Bone too. Xiao Huang, can this be used to make soup?

Loli Connoisseur: This is my little test for you all. The clever ones have already discovered its use.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: Oh, soup. This old Daoist understands now. It seems I can brew some tiger bone wine.

Divine Chef Little Fu Gui: Xiao Huang, can it really be used to make soup?

Loli Connoisseur: Xiao Fugui, as long as you don't mind that I picked it up, it's fine. One bone is enough for you to simmer a pot of the best broth in the world. Haven't you practiced Internal Energy and National Martial Arts? I guarantee this broth will be tremendously nourishing. It would also be excellent for medicinal use. Ordinary tiger bones are only a little over ten years old at most, while mine are several hundred years old. Just think about it.

In Chen Huang's previous life, tiger bones had been excellent ingredients for certain powerful medicines. They could strengthen the kidneys and replenish essence, fortify tendons and bones, improve intelligence and prolong life, relax the sinews and invigorate the blood, clear the blood vessels, and strengthen tendons and bones. However, they had been listed as protected items in 1980, and trade and use had been prohibited. He knew an old traditional Chinese doctor from a family with a long medical heritage, whose family possessed a piece of tiger bone that was occasionally used to save people. They used it sparingly, scraping off only a tiny bit each time.

Loli Connoisseur: Think it over. Does anyone else need some? If you do, I can sell some, or trade them for something. Otherwise, I'll sell them all in the Mall.

Divine Chef Little Fu Gui: Xiao Huang, give me another portion. I'll trade you the Hong Family Recipe Book and the Manchu Han Imperial Feast for it.

Loli Connoisseur: Sure, but you might as well compile the Eight Great Cuisines for me too.

Divine Chef Little Fu Gui: Hehe, no problem. I never expected Xiao Fugui to become a martial arts master too.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: Give this old Daoist some as well. I have so many disciples now, so it's always useful to keep some in reserve. This old Daoist will trade you some Martial Arts Manuals I've collected.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Then give me some too. I just bought the Traditional Chinese Medicine Books from the old man in the Mall, so I can study them. Haven't you always wanted the Kumogakure Lightning Release Nintaijutsu series of ninjutsu? I'll help you get them next time. How about it?

Loli Connoisseur: The Lightning Release Nintaijutsu series? That won't be easy to get, will it? The Raikage isn't weak. I'm afraid you'll go and never come back.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Thanks to you, you mentioned Sengoku before, saying it had been caused by the ancestors of the Senju and Uchiha. I secretly returned to Konoha and looked through many clan records and archives. I discovered many incredible things. Several Kumogakure clans had also been vassal clans of the Senju long ago. With that connection, it should be much easier. As for strength, do you think I've done nothing all these years?
