Capítulo 1668: Chapter 1668: Tempering Bone and Transforming Blood
That’s all there is!
Long Fei drank a bowl with the Fourth Prince, not pondering further on the prince’s intentions.
A true gentleman’s friendship doesn’t involve such trivial concerns.
After three bowls of liquor, the Fourth Prince took his leave.
Long Fei, however, obtained a treasure, piecing together the turtle shell fragnts he brought.
Back then, the Mystic Turtle’s shell shattered and scattered across the spiritual ore mine.
By various strokes of luck, it was reassembled.
Long Fei glanced at it after piecing it together, noticing a small part still missing.
The mystic patterns on it were unique, seemingly layered over ti, not ford in a day.
Long Fei raised an eyebrow, inwardly noting that during the evolution of the Black Tortoise Clan, the bone patterns also undergo changes.
From simple to complex, from small to large.
Finally forming into a sudden mosaic of 13 squares, five in the middle, flanked by four on each side.
Even an ordinary turtle is born with such a patterned shell.
Long Fei combined the ordinary turtle shells on the ground and compared them to the shell of the black Mystic Turtle.
Bai Qianqian stared blankly from the side, puzzled, “Brother Long, why are you staring at that turtle shell?”
Long Fei asked, “Can you see any difference between these two turtle shells?”
Bai Qianqian, eyes wide open, scrutinized them closely and said, “This black shell should be from a big turtle, it’s like two ters in size. The one beside it must be a hatchling, only the size of a palm.”
“You really observed it ticulously.”
Long Fei covered his face, even a blind man could see that difference.
Bai Qianqian exclaid proudly, “Of course, the Fiery Golden Eyes of our Silver Fox Clan aren’t just for show.”
Long Fei chuckled and asked her, “When your Silver Fox Clan cultivates the physical body, do you focus on bones as well?”
Bai Qianqian raised an eyebrow, “What about bones? Cultivating the bloodline naturally nourishes the bones, right?”
Long Fei shook his head, “Blood is born from bone marrow. While it nourishes bones, it doesn’t create them. To cultivate the body, one must cultivate the bloodline and, more importantly, the bones and bone marrow, for the techniques therein are boundless. It seems your Fox Clan hasn’t mastered this.”
Bai Qianqian nodded repeatedly and said, “So, do you want to find so turtle shell for soup, and then supplent your bones?”
She made it sound so reasonable that Long Fei was speechless, staring at her.
This fox’s head, truly a waste.
He compared the turtle shells, beginning to comprehend the mystic patterns on them.
These thirteen turtle shells were missing two in the middle and one on each side, four in total hadn’t been recovered.
Long Fei wasn’t in a rush. He would comprehend what he had, leaving everything to chance and fate.
If worst cos to worst, there’s always the little Xuan Turtle inside the turtle egg.
When it hatches, it could be studied as well.
As the night passed, more cultivators gathered from all four directions, numbering not less than a hundred thousand, including those from the Demon Clan.
A group of cultivators, who had originally hid in the back, revealed themselves to take advantage after hearing the Crown Prince had brought the Snow Country Scepter.
After all, with soone leading the charge, it was good for them to pick off the small fry from behind.
The Crown Prince seed very pleased with this revered status, despite saying they would descend into the crevice today.
But he remained inactive, staying in the camp and socializing.
Here, Long Fei’s side was bustling; early in the morning, soone carried a sack of turtle shells over.
His na as Wang Seven had spread far and wide.
Long Fei initially intended to accept everything, but Bai Qianqian couldn’t stand it and scolded the visitors angrily, “Do you really think my brother is an idiot? You say these shells are fresh, even with at still attached, at least clean off the at strands! And we asked for turtles, the kind with patterns on the shells, not your barren old tortoise shells!”
The visitor, blushing, muttered, “You, how can you go back on your word? Who was it yesterday that wanted to buy these? It’s freezing cold, and was it easy for to fish out these old tortoises? I hamred all night on the icy river and nearly froze to death just to get these few.”
Even this burly man started crying.
Long Fei couldn’t bear it, so he let Bai Qianqian give him a hundred spirit stones to send him away.
The man delightedly called out loudly, bowing continuously to Long Fei.
For an old tortoise shell, selling it for a hundred spirit stones was quite enough.
A group of cultivators, keen on gaining advantages, each carried a sack over.
Long Fei simply glanced at them and let Bai Qianqian hand out a hundred spirit stones to send them off.
No matter what, they had spent a night helping to find them, couldn’t let them work in vain.
The na Wang Seven spread further and wider, even attracting Ninth Princess Ji Bingji to see the commotion. She held her mouth, laughing, “Oh my, you two fools will kill soone with laughter! I heard others ntion it and thought it impossible, but it turns out to be true!”
Bai Qianqian rolled her eyes at her and cheekily said, “You, a dignified princess, ca over just to watch others’ jokes. Who’s the real fool here? Is this all the royal etiquette you learned?”
Ji Bingji’s face turned red as she shouted, “You filthy brat, Demon second-generation, dare speak to this princess like that?”
Bai Qianqian stood up and called to the loose cultivators beside her, “Let’s have everyone judge, who here is the real fool?”
The group of loose cultivators, each keen on taking advantage of Long Fei, where would they dare slander Long Fei?
They eyed Ji Bingji and blurted out, “How can Master Wang Seven be a fool? The person who said that is the fool.”
“Right, he’s our poor man’s God of Wealth, who dares speak of him, I’ll fight with them!”
“Your Royal Highness The Princess, don’t hold up our business with Master Wang Seven, okay?”
“…”
The crowd reprimanded Ji Bingji, making her so angry her lips pouted.
She pointed at the crowd and left, as the scene turned lively again, forming a queue to hand in the turtle shells.
Long Fei looked through bag after bag, disappointed that he couldn’t find a useful shell.
Until yesterday’s peddler returned, drenched in sweat, bringing a batch of turtle shell fragnts to Long Fei.
This batch of fragnts were precisely the missing pieces of the Black Tortoise shell.
These things couldn’t be smashed, perfectly matching together, without a piece wrong.
Long Fei was surprised and frowned, wondering how such a hard Black Tortoise bloodline could be broken into pieces—it was incredulous.
The peddler exclaid excitedly, “We brothers directly helped you purchase them back, totaling eighty-nine shell pieces, altogether eighty-nine thousand spirit stones, you mustn’t go back on your word.”
Long Fei chuckled, stored away the shells, and led them away from the scene.
They appeared outside, miles away.
The peddlers, frightened by the surroundings, thought Long Fei intended not to pay and was about to do them harm.
This one move took them to a deserted area; his mana far surpassed their expectations.
Who would’ve known, Long Fei took out a hundred thousand spirit stones for them, advised them, “A common man with a treasure invites trouble. You two have shallow cultivation levels; holding onto such a sum could make you a target of envy. Leave imdiately, find a place to stay hidden for so ti before reerging, to ensure your survival.”
The peddlers, overwheld, knelt down before Long Fei, thinking he was a fool. Who knew he was so thorough in his actions?
Not only did he pay them but also offered them a way to live.
Upon Long Fei’s advice, they left imdiately. Once they were gone, Long Fei returned to the tent at the marketplace to comnce his secluded cultivation.
Outside, people were disgruntled that this charitable fool no longer dished out money, grumbling for a bit, and only dispersed under Bai Qianqian’s intimidating gaze.
