Judging by the condition of the skeleton, this person had been dead for around three months.
The bones were dense and fine-grained, marking someone who had cultivated the Martial Dao.
Wild beasts and birds of prey had eaten all the flesh, leaving only this skeleton.
There were two methods by which he could cultivate.
One was to kill the most vicious and wicked people and absorb their blood baleful qi.
The other was to absorb the bone power within skeletons.
Over the past month and a half, Tang Yan had hardly seen any human skeletons exposed to the elements and had not thought along these lines. He had been improving his cultivation solely by killing evildoers.
Now that he had happened upon one, Tang Yan intended to test the effects of absorbing bone power.
With a thought, Tang Yan placed his skeletal hand on the skeleton, and the power within its bones flowed into his body.
One breath later, Tang Yan withdrew his hand, a hint of amazement in his eyes.
The increase in strength from the bone power he had absorbed was roughly a tenth of what he gained from killing one person.
That might not sound like much, but the graves he had seen along the way far outnumbered the utterly wicked people.
After burying the skeleton before him, Tang Yan turned his pitch-black eye sockets toward a direction in the distance.
There was a burial ground there.
How about... borrowing some bone power?
After hesitating for two whole breaths, Tang Yan finally made up his mind and sped toward the burial ground.
A few miles were only a few steps away.
Arriving at the burial ground, Tang Yan bowed toward the graves and silently recited, "White bones fill this burial ground; spirits above, bear witness.
