Chapter Eight Hundred and Sixty Four – Refining the Shen Bone

The storehouse manager stammered out, “This … … this … … can be forged into crystal bone?”

“Yes.” Zuo Mo saw the expressions of the two and knew that they definitely did not know of this. He asked, “What is this called?”

“White bone,” the storehouse manager hurriedly replied. His eyes were locked onto Zuo Mo.

“Alright, white bone,” Zuo Mo responded and then patiently explained, “this white bone is not very different from crystal bone. If one refines it, white bone can be refined into crystal bone.”

“How do you refine it?” When the storehouse manager said this, he recognized it was appropriate. He said uncertainty, “This lowly one had overstepped.”

Zuo Mo did not care. For him, concealing something like this was of no meaning. The Ghost Lord was good to him and Zuo Mo was willing to teach to pay him back.

“First use fire to refine the impurities, and then put it into the death energy pools for about three days, that should do it,” Zuo Mo said.

“So simple?” the storehouse manager unconsciously asked.

The guard’s eyes glared. “You dare to doubt Grandmaster!”

The storehouse manager’s head shrank back in fright.

Zuo Mo smiled, unconcerned. “Simple? Not so simple, just refining away the impurities is not easy. The more the impurities are forged away, the better the quality of the crystal bones.”

Then Zuo Mo said to the storehouse manager, “Alright, I’ve told you how to forge the crystal bone, go prepare these materials.”

“Yes yes yes!” The storehouse manager decided to believe it for now. He decided to immediately get people to test this out.

In the Ten Thousand Tombs of the Underworld, the white bones were one of the most worthless materials as they were everywhere. The great majority of what washed down Billion Bone Peak was white bone. The crystal bones were at least three levels above white bone, and their production was rare.

The difference in value between the two was in the thousands.

If Grandmaster was right, then this definitely was a path to getting rich! If the storehouses were filled with crystal bones, the Ghost Lord Daren would reward him!

The storehouse manager was filled with motivation.

The guard suppressed his shock and asked Zuo Mo respectfully, “Grandmaster, where do we go next? Should we go to the Sea of Ten Thousand Boiling Pools?”

Zuo Mo thought for a moment. “Let’s return first. It is not early and we will find another time to go to the Sea of Ten Thousand Boiling Pools.”

“Yes!” The guard hurriedly said.

All of Zuo Mo’s attention was focused on the bone in his ring.

Having returned to his residence, Zuo Mo caressed the dark gold bone in his hand. This bone was of a fine quality and heavy as though it was made from metal. Patterns were packed onto the surface of the one and it seemed to have some beauty.

If other people touched this bone, they would only feel coldness. Only when Zuo Mo touched it would a feeling of warmth come.

Zuo Mo was sure now that this was a leg bone that a totem warrior of the Sun Tribe had left.

The totem warriors of that era were some of the strongest existences. The bones that they left behind were also one of the top materials. In the time where totem warriors had been strongest, almost every totem warrior had been god-level. Their bodies were at the peak of what could be reached, their blood, bones, and sinew all reaching a shocking level.

Zuo Mo thought of Lan’s black jade bones that were refined to an almost perfect level.

The packed patterns on the bone was the sun shen glyph. It could be seen from how the other had refined the sun shen glyph onto the bone how powerful this Sun Tribe totem warrior had been!

Even if Zuo Mo recovered to his strongest state, he could not reach such a level.

That era was one that people yearned for!

Zuo Mo lamented. After tens of thousands of years, they finally returned to the era of shen power but there was still a great distance between them and the peak of the ancient era.

Shaking his head, Zuo Mo threw his stray thoughts to the back of his mind and put all of his attention on this dark gold bone. For other people, this might just be a top-tier material but him, it wasn’t just that.

A thread of sun shen fire wrapped around the dark gold femur.

Zuo Mo’s expression was serous.

The shen glyph on the surface of the dark gold femur gradually became brighter. The bone was like a heated metal that flashed with a scorching red light. Zuo Mo’s hands moved and the sun shen fire moved as well.

The sun shen glyph on the surface of the bone dimmed, but because the femur was bright, the shen glyph contrasted even more.

Zuo Mo’s right hand rose slightly.

Hiss!

The sun shen glyph that covered the bone was lifted like it was a net that covered the bone.

Zuo Mo’s eyes became bright. His presence became even stronger. The shen glyphs on the ground and walls released gentle light that hid Zuo Mo’s presence and stopped it from spreading outside.

The presence of a god-level would be too astounding. If it leaked, it would attract other people.

The sun shen fire climbed onto the shen glyph on the bone. Under Zuo Mo’s control, the shen glyph slowly was pulled away from the bone.

Soon, Zuo Mo’s forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. The bone covered in the fire trembled as though it was fighting to break free. It had experienced tens of thousands of years, and it had some intelligence. Yet it also had absorbed all kinds of power through these tens of thousands of years. The heterogenous power was not of benefit to Zuo Mo, and was damaging like a toxin.
