32: Chapter 32 Acquired

"Who?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Shen was startled.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately gave up digging out the Sword Bone and quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, he quickly felt for the Storage Ring at his waist, and those three zhenlei beads had already been quietly tucked into his sleeves.

Once the situation went wrong, these three zhenlei beads would be his trump card for saving his life.

At this moment, Lin Shen felt bitter in his heart.

He never expected that someone was still hiding in the dark lying in ambush.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

As that oriole, Lin Shen originally thought victory was already in his grasp, but he didn't expect that there was still an old hunter crouching in secret.

"There is no need to be nervous! I have no malicious intent."

Just as Lin Shen was pondering how to deal with the enemy, that voice sounded again from high in the air.

Lin Shen looked over, his body tensing up.

He was ready to enter combat mode at any time.

Under his vigilant gaze, two figures rapidly descended from high in the air.

One of them was an old man dressed in brocade robes, while the other was a handsome youth dressed in a purple robe embroidered with a five-clawed python-dragon.

The old man and the youth traveled through the air, their Aura majestic, and their cultivation far surpassing Foundation Establishment.

Feeling this terrifying coercion, Lin Shen only felt his throat dry and bitter, his heart leaping into his throat.

At this moment, he was filled with infinite despair.

Because facing this terrifying coercion, he only felt his own Spiritual Qi stagnate for a moment, and even making normal movements became quite difficult.

Moreover, this terrifying coercion was even more terrifying than Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu of Chiyun Valley whom Lin Shen had encountered when he entered Chiyun Valley earlier.

"What Sword Bone? Senior is joking. That originally belonged to Senior; Junior saw nothing and will not talk nonsense about anything. I will take my leave now!"

Opening his bitter throat, Lin Shen forced a bitter smile on his face, moving his body with difficulty as he wanted to slip away.

As for any Sword Bone, the greed in his heart had long since vanished.

At this moment, he only thought of surviving in his heart.

After all, once dead, everything was gone.

Only by living was there infinite hope.

"You brat really know how to speak nicely, you're quite a clever fellow!"

Hearing Lin Shen's words and seeing Lin Shen trying to sneak away, the youth dressed in the purple python robe smiled and shook his head, "There is no need to be nervous! I am not interested in this item; I was just watching the commotion in the air, and on a whim, I specifically reminded you!"

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Lin Shen's painfully moving footsteps paused.

He swallowed his saliva and looked at the purple python-robed youth with some disbelief, "What does Senior mean by this? Please forgive Junior's ignorance!"

The purple python-robed youth waved his hand dismissively and said, "Stop calling me Senior, Senior. Do I look that old to you? I dislike others calling me Senior the most; just address me as Young Master Li."

"Greetings, Young Master Li!"

Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief, immediately taking advantage of the situation, and cautiously asked the purple python-robed youth, "Forgive this humble one for my ignorance, but Young Master Li just said that this Sword Bone is not extracted this way? Could it be that there is another method?"

At this moment, Lin Shen also reacted.

These two people before him obviously did not have much malicious intent towards him; otherwise, relying solely on their terrifying coercion, if they wanted to kill him, they wouldn't even need to do it themselves, it would just take a single thought.

Facing such experts, Lin Shen's worries were instead reduced by a lot.

If they wanted to make a move, I'm afraid they wouldn't give him a chance to speak at all, and with a casual move, he would directly vanish into ashes.

Of course, Lin Shen still dared not be careless.

He could only follow the purple python-robed youth's words, fearing that if he said the wrong thing, he might really be done for.

Hearing Lin Shen's inquiry, the purple python-robed youth smiled and said, "Watch closely, this is how the Sword Bone is extracted!"

As his voice fell,

a spell incantation was cast in his hand.

In an instant, the terrifying Spiritual Qi emitted around them instantly transformed into fine threads, like countless spider webs, directly wrapping around Wang Zhan's corpse.

Wrapped in these Spiritual Qi threads, Wang Zhan's flesh and blood were peeled off inch by inch, directly turning into nourishment for that section of the Sword Bone.

And along with Wang Zhan's entire body flesh being peeled off by the fine threads and provided to the Sword Bone as nourishment, that section of the Sword Bone could finally be considered completely extracted.

This scene left Lin Shen dumbfounded.

So this was how a Sword Bone was extracted.

"Take it well!"

With a wave of the purple python-robed youth's hand, that section of the Sword Bone floating in the air instantly flew toward Lin Shen.

"Many thanks, Young Master Li!"

Lin Shen hurriedly caught it and thanked the purple python-robed youth.

The purple python-robed youth smiled and said, "Did you see clearly? This is how the Sword Bone is extracted. If you used that forcible extraction method like you did just now, seventy to eighty percent of this Sword Bone's spirituality would be lost. Although it would still be usable, it would be reduced to a rather ordinary treasure."

"I see!"

Lin Shen nodded in sudden realization and gratefully said to the purple python-robed youth, "Young Master Li is truly knowledgeable. Today, I owe it all to Young Master Li, otherwise such a treasure really would have been wasted in my hands!"

His words were not flattery, but heartfelt gratitude.

If it weren't for this purple python-robed youth helping to extract it and giving a reminder, I'm afraid that when he obtained this section of the Sword Bone, it would have only been reduced to a rather ordinary treasure.

Having obtained this section of the Sword Bone that he had been yearning for for over a year, Lin Shen's heart finally completely settled down.

The purple python-robed youth before him, at such a young age, possessed a cultivation above the Golden Core Realm, and his Aura was several times more terrifying than Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu at the Golden Core Peak. At a glance, he was a Prodigy Disciple of some major force.

Such a Prodigy naturally looked down upon a section of Sword Bone from a small place like his.

It was even very likely that the bones used specifically to feed dogs within his Sect or Family were more precious than this section of Sword Bone.

Such a prominent person naturally looked down upon this mere section of Sword Bone.

"It's also your brat's luck to run into me!"

The purple python-robed youth smiled, "You don't need to thank me either. I had a lot of fun watching the commotion today. If it weren't for the wonderful performance of you three fellow apprentices, I wouldn't have specifically spoken up to remind you and extract this section of the Sword Bone for you."

Giving Lin Shen a deep look, thinking of Lin Shen's cautious personality and ruthless methods, the purple python-robed youth's lips curved into an arc, and he smiled faintly, "Your conduct and style are quite good, making you suitable for surviving in this Immortal Realm. If you can make a Breakthrough to a Realm above Golden Core in the future, come to the Great Xuan Imperial Dynasty, and I can give you brat a chance!"

As he spoke, the purple python-robed youth waved his hand slightly, and a token instantly flew out from the Storage Ring in his hand.

The front of this token was engraved with the character "Li", and the back was engraved with nine lifelike, tooth-and-claw golden Dragons.

By the time Lin Shen took the token and wanted to ask something, the purple python-robed youth and the brocade-robed old man had already vanished on the spot.
