Chapter 34: An interesting girl

In his world, it is common knowledge of the importance of the spine as the first Spiritual Bone. It even if not directly connected, manages to maintain a connection with all the bones of the body to keep them in place.

In addition, because the spine as a Spiritual Bone is not obtained as a real spine but is created from scratch, it is even more important to obtain it first.

When you perform Spiritual Synthesis (which is the process by which you convert all the Spiritual Energy of the Beast into a Spiritual Bone for yourself) to form the spine, it transforms and will only give you a single Bone in the shape of a spine and the same size as your spine.

This single bone will then have to be completed with the Collection Bones of the Spine, which is a total of 25 Collection Bones. This is the moment when the column will be complete and will show its full potential as the most important Third Bone in a cultivator's body and will give you a good buff on your cultivation and talent.

If you get the column first, the buff it gives you once completed is a reinforcement of all the Bones you got or will get later and one more skill. It also greatly increases the chance of obtaining an External Spirit Bone.

The strengthening of all Bones is reflected in an increase in the aptitude of your Spiritual Bones, which is incredibly important and is one of the ways to reach a higher aptitude state.

But, if you get it from the second, third, or fourth Spiritual Bone, such benefits are greatly reduced and might even be non-existent.

That's why Tang Yin finds it laughable that on this continent they think that way.

'Well, now it makes sense why Miss Xie has such a low aptitude...' Tang Yin thought with a helpless smile as he walked toward the snake.

Huang Feifei had already started synthesizing the Spirit Bone, and the rest were a bit dazed, but just at that moment one of them stepped out of the group and ran after Tang Yin.

--"Young Master..." She said, and Tang Yin looked at her doubtfully.

--"Is something wrong?" he asked, and she immediately bowed gracefully to Tang Yin, causing him to be surprised.

'She has a lot of elegance; her style seems to be royalty...' Tang Yin thought, and she smiled beautifully at him.

Although she was the youngest of the group, she was still very beautiful and appeared to be 16 years old.

--"Young Master, excuse me for doubting you a moment ago and thank you very much for getting me out of doubt, but I wanted to ask you... Can you give me that snake? I need it for my second Spirit Bone... Huh?" She said, and at the end, she was stunned looking at him.

--"Young...Young Master, you, aren't you a cultivator?" She asked in a daze as she realized that Tang Yin had no aura at all.

She had seen him fight against two Spiritual Beasts at once and defeat them both with strange techniques, but they always thought that was Tang Yin's spirit weapon, as his moves were too impressive.

The way he managed to avoid all the damage and only get slightly injured was incredible, worthy of a cultivator with a high level in martial arts, but now that she sees him up close, how could he possibly not have Spiritual Energy?

How is it possible that such a powerful person, capable of killing two Beasts, one 500 years old and the other 1500 years old, is not a cultivator?

That's absurd!

Her voice came out loudly when she said that because of her surprise, so it attracted the attention of the other 4 girls, who were also deeply stunned looking at him.

--"How... How is it possible..." said the young girl who had earlier been the first to stand up to greet them and refute Tang Yin, as she stepped back a little upon seeing this.

In fact, anyone who had seen the previous fight between Tang Yin and those beasts would think that this person was a high-level cultivator.

It could be seen that he used no skills, only his martial arts, and some strange weapons. But, even so, he had incredible agility that they could not help but admire, such a person was an ordinary person?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible! That's basically what they thought.

Tang Yin noticed that they thought that, so he shrugged his shoulders a little.

--"No, I used to be, but now I'm not." Tang Yin said calmly and then stared at the young woman in front of him.

--"Can you tell me what spirit weapon you have?" Tang Yin asked but received no answer.

She was too stunned to answer easily.

Tang Yin, the person who had killed two strong spiritual beasts, was not a cultivator, but a normal human, how was that possible? On top of that, a normal human who was a cultivator before, that means he was crippled, and if he is crippled, it means he is injured…

An injured ordinary person managed to assassinate two strong Spiritual Beasts!

One of which was a Killer Snake, one of the most dangerous snakes in the Spirit Woods!

Anyone who was told that would never believe it.

Because it had never been seen before. No one should have ever done it.

So how was it possible that this person could do it? Was the question going through their heads at that moment.

--"Miss?" Tang Yin asked at that moment to attract the attention of the girl in front of him, she then regained her composure a little.

--"Huh? Ah, yes, my spiritual weapon?" She said some slightly incoherent things but quickly did as Tang Yin had asked and took out her spiritual weapon in its real form.

'Oh, a spear, huh... Fire Dancing Spear, if I'm not mistaken it should be Spirit Rank... Worthy of royalty, huh.' Tang Yin thought with a smile.

--"All right, undoubtedly the Killer Snake is a good beast to add skills to your Fire Dancing Spear, go, it's all yours." Tang Yin said calmly and permitted her to get the Killer Snake.

And she quickly nodded it was good that Tang Yin gave it to her.

All of them had been looking for a Killer Snake for three whole days because, according to the Academy Headmaster, that's the best beast for their Spear right now, but when they got one, it not only belonged to someone else but it was on its last breaths. Either she killed it right now or she would be left without a Killer Snake. Didn't have much time, so she immediately thanked Tang Yin.

--"Thank you very much, Young Master." She said, but then remembered that she hadn't introduced herself and immediately did so.

--"My name is Zu Xiaolin, I am the junior princess of the Blizzard Empire. On behalf of my Zu Family, I will thank you when we arrive in the Empire." She said as she bowed politely to Tang Yin, and the latter nodded.

'That's good. The royal family is something else, they might have a few more Herbs.' Tang Yin thought with a smile.

--"It's okay, don't worry about it. Go synthesize." Tang Yin said and turned around, but just as he was about to start walking again, he heard a question behind him.

--"Young Master... If I synthesize the spine right now, will it still be beneficial to me, even though I already have my First Bone of the Leg, right?" she asked softly.

She had been thinking about that thing Tang Yin had said, and no matter how much more she thought, was finding more and more sense in what he said.

That's why I wanted to give it a try.

Tang Yin then stopped and looked at her.

--"Do you believe me? I could be telling a lie." He spoke, and she nodded.

--"The more I think, the more I realize you could be right. That's why, if you tell me, I'll give it a try and I won't complain later if I end up damaging my future.

Besides, my older sister is a renowned researcher and the last time I saw her, she was telling me a lot of things regarding the spine could be an even more important Spiritual Bone than we thought." She replied firmly, and this surprised Tang Yin visibly.

'I think this big sister might be interesting to meet.' Tang Yin thought with a smile.

But he was more surprised by the worthiness she was showing right now by saying that she wouldn't complain if it ended up damaging her future. So, he nodded with acceptance towards what she had said.

A cultivator not only needs to cultivate but also needs the guts to walk the path of cultivation.

The determination she showed for discovering something she had just been told, which could be a lie or could be the greatest blessing she has ever received, is something Tang Yin himself had at the time, so Tang Yin admiringly accepted that determination of hers.

--"Haha, very good answer, Miss Zu. Don't worry, you won't harm your future. If you synthesize the column right now, I can promise you that you will pass at least to the First Level of the Third Realm directly tonight. I put my name, Tang Yin, on the line when I say this." Tang Yin said firmly, and his answer again surprised each of the 5 girls who heard him. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'To go to the first Level of the Third Realm simply by synthesizing a 1,500-year-old Beast? Impossible!' they thought, though they didn't say so.

But they didn't think that was possible. Even if it was a Killer Snake, it shouldn't be possible to advance to the Third Realm. If it were so easy to enter the Third Realm, why would there be so many cultivators stuck at the Tenth Level of the Spiritual Entry Realm?

Still, they did not say anything.

Zu Xiaolin quickly nodded after hearing this and went to do what she had to do.

Then Tang Yin turned around again and stood close to Huang Feifei, he wanted to see the changes in her to help her if necessary.
