207: The real dragon tendon method
Morning:
Chu Qing did not Cultivate the Golden Bone.
Instead, he was in the Library, searching for and reading books.
He looked for all books about Anomalies and Abnormalities.
There weren't many books.
Records about Anomalies and Abnormalities were even scarcer.
He read them over and over, and what he saw between the lines was—inconceivable.
"No matter how inconceivable it is."
"I'll solve it with violence."
As he was reading, a servant came looking for him:
"Sir student, a Constable from the yamen wants to see you."
Chu Qing closed his book and looked at the servant seriously, saying, "Who sent you to find me?"
The servant lowered his head and whispered, "It was Martial Instructor."
"The Constables entered the Martial Academy?"
Chu Qing placed the book on the shelf and looked at the servant intently.
The servant whispered, "No."
Chu Qing smiled.
He gently patted the servant's shoulder and said, "Tell him I'll be there soon."
The servant breathed a sigh of relief.
He bowed gratefully to Chu Qing.
Because:
The Constables were outside, asking Chu Qing, a Martial Academy student, to go see them.
This was unreasonable.
It was against the rules.
Likewise, it was against Chu Qing's true intentions.
Chu Qing didn't want to make things difficult for the servant.
Because the other party was not in control of himself.
He continued reading.
A short while later:
Several more servants came, asking Chu Qing to go out and meet the Constables.
Chu Qing merely nodded, saying he understood, but his feet remained rooted to the spot.
Throughout the entire morning;
He reviewed all records concerning Anomalies.
Among the numerous records, he discovered that many incidents concerning Anomalies were recorded by Anomalies themselves.
Ordinary people, when faced with an Anomaly, seemingly only had a dead end.
Few managed to escape.
Moreover, even if they did escape, they didn't know they had experienced an Anomaly.
Even fewer could record it.
Approaching noon, the last book about Anomalies was finished by him.
In this record, Chu Qing saw an interesting entry:
【Those who consume dragon tendon, do not die!】
"Interesting!"
Chu Qing studied it carefully.
He found that the book recorded; there was a scholar who consumed a dragon tendon, and later, at the Mountain God Temple, encountered some strange people.
These people originally intended to kill the scholar.
However, after cutting off the scholar's head, they discovered he had consumed dragon tendon.
Then, they reattached his head.
"Cut off a head, and it can be reattached?"
"This method is inhuman!"
"Next time I kill someone, I must blow up their head."
"To avoid encountering an Anomaly again who reattaches the head."
Clatter!
He placed the book back on the shelf and left the Library.
Outside the Library, there were many servants.
This group of servants, upon seeing Chu Qing, swarmed him:
"Sir, a Constable wants to see you."
"Sir..."
The group of servants looked anxious.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "Go, tell those Constables that I'll be there very soon."
The servants were happy and joyfully went to inform them.
Chu Qing returned to his dormitory to pack his things.
Nangong, in her strong attire, was also ready.
Chu Qing said, "You don't need to come with me."
"I'll handle it myself."
"If I can't handle it, I can run away."
Nangong shook her head and said, "If I come, I can lend you a hand."
Chu Qing smiled and said, "You are too weak."
Nangong glared and said, "This old lady has already Cultivated a hundred Heavenly Demon Bones."
"I'm not worse than you."
"Not worse than the Prodigies of the State Martial Academy."
Chu Qing coughed and said, "But I have Cultivated over three hundred Golden Bones."
Nangong... said in surprise, "How did you Cultivate so fast?"
Chu Qing said, "I've Cultivated hundreds of low-level martial arts that break limits."
Nangong suddenly understood.
Ultimately:
This girl was convinced by Chu Qing.
She wasn't going.
But, if Chu Qing didn't return tomorrow, she would go look for him.
"Oh, right, here's some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."
"Do you want to write something?"
Chu Qing flicked Nangong's forehead and turned to leave: "I don't need a will."
Nangong... blinked.
Whoosh!
Chu Qing went out.
There were Constables, even Golden-robed Constables, blocking his way.
"Chu Qing, you..."
Whoosh!
Chu Qing ignored these Constables and headed straight for the Slums.
He needed to find the Dean to back him up and had no time to deal with these guys.
The Constables chased after him, constantly yelling at him to stop.
However, Chu Qing didn't stop, and his speed only increased.
Soon:
He arrived at the Slums.
The construction site, which should have been bustling, was completely silent.
Hundreds of servants were nowhere to be seen.
Nor were there any workers from the construction company.
Something had happened.
Chu Qing frowned.
He took a deep breath and went directly to find the Dean.
At that time, he had settled the Dean in a dilapidated room.
Soon, he saw the Dean.
Dean Shi Ji, uncharacteristically, was not studying corpses.
He was writing.
Seeing Chu Qing approach, Dean Shi Ji made a gesture, signaling him to be quiet.
In less than a minute, he finished writing the last line.
He blew on the ink to dry it.
Dean Shi Ji said excitedly, "You've come at just the right time."
"Look, this is the result of my research."
Chu Qing smiled and said, "What result?"
Dean Shi Ji said excitedly, "dragon tendon!"
"I have combined corpses with that Secret Inheritance that isn't really a Secret Inheritance, and I've researched the method for refining dragon tendon."
"If you Cultivate according to what's written, you will definitely be able to Cultivate dragon tendon."
Chu Qing was delighted.
Both Madam Shi and Dean Shi Ji had mentioned how powerful dragon tendon was.
If he could truly Cultivate dragon tendon, his strength would surge again.
It wasn't a very thick booklet, and he quickly finished reading it.
By the time he finished reading the booklet, his profession panel flickered, refreshing the information:
【You studied a Secret Manual.】
【Several Secret Manuals previously mastered are in the same lineage as this Secret Manual, and are related.】
【Do you wish to Fuse?】
"Fuse!"
The next second, the profession panel refreshed again with new information:
【Fusion successful!】
【You have obtained the top-tier Secret Inheritance — Dragon Tendon Technique!】
【Top-tier Secret Inheritance Dragon Tendon Technique — With 365 Golden Tendons as the Foundation, Cultivate one dragon tendon.】
【This top-tier Secret Inheritance requires having observed or touched a dragon tendon as a prerequisite.】
【The refining method is as follows...】
The next second, some methods for Cultivating dragon tendon emerged in his mind.
The next second:
Chu Qing vaguely had an epiphany.
He moved about, beginning to Cultivate.
He was seen moving his limbs, performing various strange postures.
In his mind, the image of the dragon tendon he had seen in the Eight Hundred Li Shui Po emerged.
In the ethereal realm, he had a feeling.
Observing different dragon tendons, the dragon tendons Cultivated would also have their own profound mysteries.
Theoretically, he should find a beast's dragon tendon.
The effect of the dragon tendon Cultivated that way might be even more powerful.
But Chu Qing couldn't wait any longer.
One dragon tendon seemed to have exhausted all his luck.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Moreover:
The dragon tendon from the fish wasn't bad either.
"As the saying goes, a fish transforms into a Dragon."
"The dragon tendon I Cultivate might be a Fish dragon tendon, and paired with the Black Gold Bone from the Black Water Bone Refining Method, perhaps I can transform into a Black Dragon in the future."
Ten minutes... half an hour... Dean Shi Ji went out once.
Not long after, he returned with blood-stained hands.
He observed Chu Qing, muttering, "The Dragon Tendon Technique I deduced doesn't seem to be Cultivated this way."
"Did he modify it himself?"
"This guy is truly a Genius."
"Hehe, the more of a Genius he is, the greater help he will be to me in the future."
Dean Shi Ji was excited.
He rubbed his fists, waiting for the results.
Outside the house:
Dozens of Constables and Golden-robed Constables were vomiting blood and wailing on the ground.
