481: What can a mere dragon bone do to me?
An hour later.
All of Xie Weilou's injuries had vanished, and his severed arm had regrown.
He stretched, a wide smile on his face: "Exciting, truly exciting! What can mere dragon bones do to me?"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched dragon's roar came from outside, making the cave dwelling shake.
"......"
Xie Weilou fell silent.
Is it haunting him?
That female ghost is truly useless; she can't even stop a dragon bone!
Xie Weilou remained motionless. He had set up so many formations and Restriction, and his aura was completely isolated. He didn't believe that the dragon bone could truly detect his location.
After a long while.
The dragon's roar dissipated, and the dragon bone seemed to have left.
Xie Weilou still had no intention of leaving the cave dwelling. He had to wait a bit longer to prevent the dragon bone from detecting his aura.
He waited for half an hour.
Seeing no further movement, Xie Weilou finally disarmed the formations and Restriction and walked out of the cave dwelling.
"Time to retreat!"
Xie Weilou muttered to himself and decisively departed.
This time, he had obtained Dragon Transformation Marrow, which was a bountiful harvest, so it was time to retreat.
This ruin was not a place to stay for long; otherwise, if he was targeted by the dragon bone again, it would be incredibly troublesome. Having suffered a major loss once, he dared not truly underestimate the dragon bone in the slightest.
Northern area of the ruins.
Xie Weilou saw a huge plaza with a teleportation array on it.
"......"
Xie Weilou observed it for a moment. This teleportation array was still functional and should be able to transport him directly out of the ruins. He immediately injected a stream of power into the teleportation array.
Buzz!
The teleportation array emitted a beam of light that enveloped him, and his body instantly vanished from the spot...
East Sea.
On an unknown island, a pillar of power light struck, and Xie Weilou's figure appeared.
"Finally out."
Xie Weilou glanced around, and the stone that had been weighing on his heart finally fell.
The harvest this time was good. After returning to the Sacred Academy, he could directly enter seclusion to break through.
He wondered about the situation of Li Zheng and the others, but the dragon bone hadn't pursued them before. At most, they would have suffered some injuries and should be fine.
Boom!
Just as Xie Weilou was pondering, the seawater vibrated, and a blood-soaked figure flew out of the water.
"Sixth Gentleman!"
Xie Weilou looked over. That figure was indeed Sixth Gentleman Zheng.
At this moment, he had a severed arm, a hideous bloody hole in his chest, his body was covered in blood, his aura was chaotic, and his face was extremely pale.
When Li Zheng saw Xie Weilou, he immediately flew onto the island. He looked at Xie Weilou: "It seems you're alright, kid."
Xie Weilou sighed: "I almost lost my life. That dragon bone kept chasing me, but thankfully I managed to get rid of it. However, Sixth Gentleman's situation seems a bit grim."
Li Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "It's not a big problem. This small injury won't kill me."
As long as his Profound Manifestation and Divine Soul remained intact, such an injury naturally couldn't cause his demise. After a period of secluded healing, he would naturally recover.
Xie Weilou waved his hand, and two bottles of Dragon Transformation Marrow flew towards Li Zheng: "This is the Dragon Transformation Marrow I obtained earlier. It should be enough for you."
Li Zheng's main purpose for using Dragon Transformation Marrow was to eliminate the malevolent energy and thus advance to Divine Court. Two bottles of Dragon Transformation Marrow would certainly be sufficient.
Upon hearing this, Li Zheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly took the bottles: "Then I won't be polite."
Originally, he had given up hope for Dragon Transformation Marrow, but he didn't expect Xie Weilou to have kept some in reserve.
With these two bottles of Dragon Transformation Marrow, his path to Divine Court would certainly be smooth.
Xie Weilou said: "Let's return to Great Xia first! As for the Dragon Soul Grass in this ruin, there's no need to consider it for now. If there's an opportunity in the future, we can try to scheme for it."
People who are too greedy often die faster. Since the harvest was good this time, one naturally shouldn't be too greedy.
"Good!"
Li Zheng nodded with a smile. He quickly took out a few pills and consumed them, recovering some strength.
Then, he conjured a long blade. The long blade expanded, resembling a flying boat.
The two stepped onto the long blade, and the blade transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the horizon...
As for the lives and deaths of Li Guanxuan and the others, they were not within their consideration.
Striving for fortune, each relied on their own abilities. Life and death were fated, and wealth depended on heaven. If they truly perished, it was only because their skills were inferior, and no one else was to blame.

Three days later.
Tianqi City.
Zhenxi Marquis Manor.
In the large courtyard, Lin Qinghuang, in a long green dress, was holding a cup of fragrant tea and sipping it. Her hair fluttered in the wind, carrying wafts of fragrance. Her face was incomparably beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and refreshing to the heart.
Lihua and Peach Blossom were busy nearby, diligently pruning flower branches.
Lin Qinghuang looked up towards the gate and happened to see Xie Weilou walking in.
"Marquis!"
When Lihua saw Xie Weilou, she immediately greeted him joyfully.
"......"
Xie Weilou nodded gently at Lihua, then walked towards Lin Qinghuang.
Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou and said with a faint smile: "Any gains?"
Xie Weilou said with a complex expression: "I almost lost my life."
"Hmm? Tell me what happened."
Lin Qinghuang frowned slightly.
Xie Weilou sat down beside her and sighed: "At Li Guanxuan's invitation, I went to a ruin in the East Sea. It turned out there was a dragon bone inside... and Dragon Soul Grass had grown on it. I was chased all the way."
"Dragon bone? Dragon Soul Grass?"
Lin Qinghuang's gaze sharpened.
She mused: "Even the most ordinary true dragon's strength surpasses the Divine Court Realm, and not by just a little. Facing such an existence, even if I conjure the eastern wasteland tower, it would be of no use whatsoever."
If she used the eastern wasteland tower, even someone half a step beyond Divine Court could be suppressed and killed.
If she encountered an even more terrifying existence, she would be powerless, as her strength was too weak to allow the eastern wasteland tower to unleash its true power.
Xie Weilou surviving the pursuit of a true dragon's corpse was indeed a stroke of luck.
A dormant dragon bone could not truly revive unless Dragon Soul Grass grew on it, carrying the true dragon's memories and partial power, which is why it could control the dragon bone.
As for that kind of Dragon Soul Grass, there was no need to consider it. Unless you were strong enough to completely destroy the dragon bone, you simply couldn't pluck the Dragon Soul Grass.
Xie Weilou said with a smile: "This time, I was lucky..."
His gaze fell on Qinghuang's beautiful legs, and his eyes sparkled: "Lin Qinghuang, how about a leg rub? To comfort me?"
"Hehe!"
Lin Qinghuang glared at Xie Weilou.
How did this guy resemble someone who had almost lost half his life? His condition was simply ridiculously good.
Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and five jade bottles flew in front of Lin Qinghuang; "These are for you."
"These are?"
Lin Qinghuang looked at the jade bottles in front of her with surprise.
Xie Weilou whispered: "Dragon Transformation Marrow!"
"Dragon Transformation Marrow..."
Lin Qinghuang's eyes narrowed. If there was a dragon corpse, there would certainly be Dragon Transformation Marrow.
She naturally understood how precious Dragon Transformation Marrow was.
Now that she was at Profound Phase Realm Peak, with this Dragon Transformation Marrow, she could certainly advance further and enter the Dragon Transformation Realm!
Xie Weilou said: "I'm giving you this Dragon Transformation Marrow. When we return to the Sacred Academy, we'll enter seclusion. I've already glimpsed the threshold of Dragon Transformation; now I'm just one step away."
"Good!"
Lin Qinghuang nodded gently and directly put away the five bottles of Dragon Transformation Marrow.
