Chapter 416

The very day he finished refining the Bone Connecting Pills, Long Chen had Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, Lu Fang-er, as well as Gu Yang consume them . They would borrow that medicinal energy to establish access to each of their bones through their tendons .

Tendons connected to each bone in the body . However, they only linked to the outside of the bone, while the only things that managed to reach the inner parts of bones, the bone marrow, were blood vessels .

But in order to temper bones, especially complete tempering, just the energy that could flow in through arteries was far from enough . Cultivators had to create a new channel with their tendons that reached the depths of the bone .

This way, medicinal energy could directly pour into the bone marrow through tendons . That was the fastest way to nourish the bones . It was over a hundred times times faster than just what could be provided through blood vessels . So all cultivators had to create new channels with their tendons to temper their bones .

Ordinarily, they would go temper their bones one by one . And so they would only need to form one tendon channel at a time . That was why they could use even the most garbage Bone Connecting Pills and it would still be enough .

However, complete tempering was different . In just one go, you had to create every single tendon channel . That was why Long Chen had gritted his teeth and used a Qilin Fruit as the main ingredient for the Bone Connecting Pills . Otherwise, if there wasn’t enough medicinal energy to connect all the bones in go, it would become troublesome .

However, with the Phoenix Sparrow violet flame as well as the Qilin Fruit, the Bone Connecting Pills Long Chen had refined were all the highest possible quality amongst middle grade fourth tier pills . They were comparable to high grade fourth tier pills, and so it was enough for them to create their tendon channels .

As the five of them went into seclusion, Long Chen also didn’t waste any time and began to cultivate .

Consuming a huge amount of Three Connecting Flower Tendon Pills, he also activated his divine ring to absorb spiritual qi .

Three days later, Meng Qi and the others finished refining the energy within the medicinal pills . His cultivation bases made great advancements, allowing him to realize cultivating while consuming medicinal pills allowed him to advance twice as fast with half the effort . Unfortunately, he didn’t have that much time to focus on cultivating .

As for Meng Qi and the others, nothing unexpected had happened, and they had all perfectly formed their tendon channels . This was all due to the Qilin Fruit’s powerful medicinal energy .

In these past three days, Guo Ran had also broken through to Bone Forging . However, he had only just broken through, and so Long Chen told him to stabilize his foundation first . If he were to consume a Bone Connecting Pill now, it could cause flaws in his foundation .

As for Wilde, Long Chen had stealthily given him the Violet Phoenix Sparrow and Barbaric Wind Beast’s corpses . He told him to hide himself further away and consume them . He absolutely could not allow the little Violet Phoenix Sparrows see him .

Wilde excitedly took those two corpses and ran . Long Chen told him to first consume the Violet Phoenix Sparrow to wipe out that evidence before consuming the Barbaric Wind Beast .

Those two were both powerful fifth rank Magical Beasts, and they both possessed an ancient bloodline . They were much stronger than the outside world’s Magical Beasts . They were precisely what Wilde needed at the moment .

Although time was pressing and Long Chen didn’t have time to closely examine Wilde’s body, he could sense that some kind of energy was gradually awakening within him .

That made Long Chen even more sure that Wilde was a member of the barbarian race . They didn’t need to cultivate; just through constantly eating, they could become the strongest warriors .

Perhaps only the barbarian race would have such a heaven-defying ability . Back then, the reason Long Chen had gone all-out to gain those two huge Magical Beast corpses was also because of Wilde’s need for powerful flesh .

He gave Wilde all the flesh of the two beasts, but he kept all their bones . Their bone marrow was a must-have ingredient to refine Bone Tempering Pills .

The bone marrow of Magical Beasts contained a berserk energy . Long Chen needed to reject that berserk aspect and leave behind the essence energy when he refined Bone Tempering Pills .

The quality of Bone Tempering Pills was something closely related to the quality of the main ingredients used in refining them . Long Chen trusted that the Bone Tempering Pills refined from the essence of two ancient Magical Beasts’ bone marrow would be much stronger than the Bone Tempering Pills that were on the market .

As Long Chen took out that bone marrow and refined out its essence, he also gave the others an important task . He gave the six of them seven medicinal formulas and told them to see which medicinal ingredients they had for each formula .

These seven pill formulas were all for Bone Tempering Pills from his Pill G.o.d memories . If that news spread, it would cause the entire world to go crazy . There was only a single formula for Bone Tempering Pills in the world, which made the medicinal ingredients in it very precious . All the various sects did their utmost to grow them, but it still wasn’t enough . The price of Bone Tempering Pills had remained high from start to end .

This was also why most Bone Forging experts would only temper one or two bones . The price of Bone Tempering Pills was just too high, so high that people couldn’t accept it .

Because there was only a single pill formula, the medicinal ingredients required were used up too quickly, and the supply had never met the demand, despite the world doing their best to grow more .

The medicinal ingredients of the Bone Tempering Pill all required over a hundred years to grow . Otherwise, the medicinal energy within the ingredients would not have reached a sufficiently high level to refine .

So Long Chen’s seven pill formulas would definitely shake the entire alchemy world if news of it spread . But these people were all the people Long Chen trusted the most . He wasn’t afraid of this secret leaking .

“Boss, of the seven formulas, we could only find ingredients for three of them . According to the amounts you need, there probably won’t even be a thousand portions,” reported Guo Ran worriedly .

Although Guo Ran didn’t understand pills arts, he knew the common knowledge . For most alchemists, refining two to three pills from a single portion of medicinal ingredients was already not bad .
