Yan Xiaobao opened his eyes, took out a storage stone from another storage stone, and poured its contents on the floor in front of him. A large pile of magical beast bones appeared in front of him, and the now empty storage stone was once again deposited back into the stone embedded in his belt. Yan Xiaobao pulled out another stone and took out a jade bottle and Parchnt from it.
Yan Xiaobao sat with his legs crossed, took a deep breath, and then picked up a bone from a magical beast, carefully observing it.
It was the hind leg of a wolf they had killed earlier when they first entered the tunnel. Though it was not one of the strongest wolves, it was still a very large bone.
Yan Xiaobao closed his eyes and traveled to the spiritual energy sea, where he summoned the silver fla before allowing it to fill his entire body. Its energy flowed through his ridians and into his veins.
Gold was an elent Yan Xiaobao had not spent much ti truly understanding or increasing his affinity with. However, now that they were stuck in the boring tunnel, he thought it was the best ti to try it. As he sat with the wolf’s hind leg bone, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
Initially, he removed all the bone marrow from the bone and placed it in a bowl before he generated the silver fla. The silver fla hovered between his two palms, but unlike the flas he usually created, this fla emitted no heat; instead, it seed as if a cold air radiated outward from Yan Xiaobao.
This fla produced so silver tendrils, which dug into the bowl on his knees, engulfed the marrow, and brought it to the center of the fla.
At first, Yan Xiaobao expected the fla to accomplish all the work on its own, but he quickly noticed that the fla was instead starting to drain energy from the marrow. It provided energy from within itself rather than wrapping around, preventing Yan Xiaobao from refining it for later use.
Sending his will into the fla, Yan Xiaobao noticed that although the fla was under his control, it was still battling against his will, as if the fla craved the energy hidden in the marrow.
Yan Xiaobao gritted his teeth, refusing to yield. Instead, he concentrated his intent, throwing another portion of his will into the fla, demanding more than before. By constantly focusing on the fla, Yan Xiaobao eventually subdued it, yet he knew he couldn’t relax his control over the fla, or it would ultimately consu the energy he aid to refine.
The marrow no longer retained the sa structure it had before; instead, it was now a red, viscous liquid, continuously shrinking in size but deepening in color.
Its forr fleshy appearance had now beco a shimring red energy, and after ensuring it could be refined no further, Yan Xiaobao placed his first refined energy into the jade bottle.
Before Yueyue sighed with relief, the jade bottle quickly closed. Observing the small drop of energy he had refined, Yan Xiaobao quickly realized that over half of the marrow’s energy had been consud. This happened before he managed to control the fla, by feeding it the tal fla.
Energy is like fuel to the fla; it provides enhanced strength and toughness to the elental fla. However, it has no lasting impact on the fla, resulting in wasted energy.
Even though Yan Xiaobao wasted so energy, given this was his first attempt, he was very satisfied with the final outco. In fact, managing to refine even a drop of energy excited him greatly.
Looking at the bones in front of him, Yan Xiaobao considered whether to begin refining bones or finish all the bone marrow first. After a period of thought, Yan Xiaobao picked up another bone, scraped out the marrow, and prepared to refine it once more. His hope was to at least obtain double the energy he had acquired during his last attempt.
Yan Xiaobao decided not to start refining the bones until all the marrow was finished, knowing the bones were more difficult to refine because they contained more energy. He continually refined bone marrow because the bones didn’t refine in the sa way, preferring to repeat the sa motion rather than switching between two different refining thods.
Hour after hour passed, and by the end of the day, Yan Xiaobao had worked through half of the bone marrow he had stored after the battle ended.
As evening turned into night, Yan Xiaobao was still refining marrow, showing no intention of stopping anyti soon. As usual, once he focused on a task, the young man found it impossible to stop until he accomplished his goal.
Yan Xiaobao had long since perfected the thod used for refining bone marrow. His mind now recited spells to control the tal fla reflexively, yet he still showed no sign of giving up.

The world inside the tunnel was a long night. Without the sun shining, nor any other light sources, only the light stones brought by Yan Xiaobao and Wang Julong provided illumination. Though the darkness was constant, it made no difference to anyone as they focused solely on Hui Yue and his obsession with refining.
Initially, he filled one jade bottle with pure bone marrow energy, but soon after, one bottle beca five. Then five bottles beca ten, and now twenty-three bottles sat beside him.
The energy from the marrow was perfectly suitable for inscribing practice, and there was certainly enough of it to allow for inscription practice over a long period.
After several hours spent refining, it should have been morning, but as usual in the Underworld, there was no other feeling besides excitent as he gazed at the twenty-seven jade bottles filled to the brim with bone marrow energy sitting beside him.
