Zhang Chen knows that the Fox Fairy Nannan is his skill, and she might be able to half-conceal and half-deceive him, but she would never lie to him!
Upon hearing the Fox Fairy Nannan’s words, Zhang Chen’s face turned green. So all the tornt I’ve endured in the past five years was because of my own reasons?
Suddenly, he recalled the image of Xianglin’s child being eaten by a wolf: the feeling of "I truly deserve death"!
The Fox Fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen, whose expression at this mont was sowhat subtle. It was completely unexpected that there was such a crucial point.
"Actually, five years ago, you were skin and bones from hunger, your Qi and blood were weak, and your Essence, Qi, and Spirit were extrely weak, at least 50% weaker than that scholar. If I were to rely on you to send dreams, it would be at least twice as easy as relying on the scholar. Moreover, you had a good friendship with Wang Wu at that ti. If you had asked him for the fox, Wang Wu would have had no reason to refuse. Originally, you were my first choice, but who knew you were so obtuse that you didn’t even dream while sleeping."
The Fox Spirit recounted this with gritted teeth, her voice full of fire. Even now, thinking back, she was still filled with ire, as she had almost been skinned alive at that ti.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at the Fox Spirit, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. He said faintly, "Do you think there might be another situation where I might have fainted from hunger then?"
Zhang Chen rembered that five years ago, after leaving his stepmother’s ho, he often had irregular als and sotis even fainted due to excessive hunger.
The Fox Spirit was taken aback by his words, her eyes staring blankly at Zhang Chen. She carefully recalled the scene from that day and imdiately did not dare to continue speaking.
Zhang Chen ignored the Fox Spirit. What’s past is past. Now the Fox Spirit has beco his skill. He can exploit her daily in the future; isn’t that enough to recover the previous debt?
Zhang Chen moved his gaze from the decaying books and looked at the bones in front of him. The bones were as translucent as jade, yet they appeared crystal-clear, possessing a unique aesthetic, akin to an art piece.
"These are the jade bones left by a tenth-tier strongman! Once we cultivate to the tenth tier, the physical body undergoes an extraordinary transformation; even after death, the body won’t decay." The Fox Spirit, seeing Zhang Chen examining the bones, explained from the side.
"If I could move these bones out, they would definitely sell for a good price," Zhang Chen muttered.
"These are the bones of a tenth-tier strongman, a priceless treasure that can’t be asured by money!" The Fox Spirit disputed from the side, and then suddenly her eyes brightened, and she slapped her thigh: "I got it! I have a way to get into that crevice and retrieve the treasure inside."
"You figured it out?" Zhang Chen’s eyes moved from the jade bones as he looked at the Fox Spirit.
The Fox Spirit pointed at the jade bones in front of her and said, "These are the jade bones left by a tenth-tier strongman, possessing incredible, mysterious effects. Even cultivators who have just broken through the Soul Ergence realm can entrust their souls to them, allowing them to walk freely in the daylight without fear of strong winds and scorching sun."
"And then?" Zhang Chen looked at the Fox Spirit. "You don’t think just with a few bones, you can enter and extract the mysterious power of the twelfth tier, do you? If a re skeleton could retrieve the treasure, that tenth-tier strongman wouldn’t have needed to die! And how could such a large skeleton fit into that narrow crevice?"
Zhang Chen felt that the Fox Spirit’s solution wasn’t feasible. He thought it would be better to wait until the full moon night on the fifteenth and transform into a Vampire Bat to fly into the crevice.
Today is only the thirteenth, and there are still two days until the full moon night.
"Of course, a whole skeleton wouldn’t work, but we can disassemble it, can’t we?"
"Moreover, I certainly know that just with a skeleton, it would be impossible to infiltrate. But what if it was imbued with your Golden Light? With your Golden Light, I won’t fear the mist inside and will definitely be able to enter the chamber opposite." The Fox Spirit said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen’s eyes brightened, feeling that what the Fox Spirit said was promising.
But he still felt sothing was off. Why was the Fox Spirit so obsessed with the skeleton? Not ntioning the True Dragon Skeleton before, now she’s eyeing the tenth-tier deity’s bones.
The Fox Spirit seed to see through Zhang Chen’s thoughts, and without hiding it, she explained, "I am currently just in spirit form, with no sense of security at all. Of course, I want to find sothing to house my soul. This tenth-tier deity’s skeleton is perfect for soul attachnt. Maybe in the future, after I completely refine this skeleton, I could one day use its mysterious power to rebuild a flesh body."
Seeing this, Zhang Chen did not stop her. He only wanted to enter the Empress Tomb and gain the mysterious heritage and creation. As for how much the Fox Spirit struggled, could she escape from the palm of his hand?
Seeing that Zhang Chen did not oppose, the Fox Spirit’s eyes lit up: "You agree?"
"Just go ahead and do it," Zhang Chen said slowly.
The Fox Spirit is now under his control, and if she could beco stronger, she would be more helpful in getting things done for him in the future. Why wouldn’t he be happy with that?
As for the value of the tenth-tier deity’s skeleton, truthfully, Zhang Chen didn’t consider it highly, thinking that the secrets within his own body might not be any less than those of the deities.
The Fox Spirit cheered, instantly transforming into a wisp of blue smoke, drilling toward the heart of the radiant skeleton.
The Fox Spirit’s speed in infiltrating the body was swift, and after a short while, the entire white skeleton was tinged with a blue glow, and then Fox Fairy Nannan, with a thought, had the jade bone stand up.
