Chapter 856: Refining Bone Marrow
A person capable of cultivating to the Dou Saint Realm and becoming a Nine-grade Treasure Pill Master is certainly not that simple.
If his Battle Qi strength could reach the level of a Creation Saint, he wouldn't dare to pat his chest and say he could create a Heaven-rank Battle Skill.
Especially this Great Heaven Creation Palm, among the low Heaven-rank techniques, should be an extremely strong one.
After all, the Power of Creation, such an illusory and elusive thing, is indeed difficult for ordinary people to block.
Immediately afterward, he slightly lowered his head and gazed at his right palm, where the golden light was receding.
Thinking back to the Creation Saint earlier, when he unleashed the Great Heaven Creation Palm, that scene of heaven-shattering, earth-destroying devastation.
Lin Feng immediately suppressed his curiosity and gave up the idea of trying to use it now.
After all, if he were to act recklessly here, a single mistake could cause the entire Ye Academy to vanish from Saint Pill City.
By then, Feng'er and Xin Lan nearby would likely suffer as well.
However, he thought that inside the Creation Saint's remaining skeleton, there was still some bone marrow that he had not yet extracted.
Thus, he lightly rubbed his Space Ring and took out once more that warm, white-jade-like skeleton.
Then Lin Feng curled his other hand slightly, summoned Strange Fire, and placed it beside the skeleton as a light.
He merely smiled faintly, then closed his eyes to wait for the moment the skeleton's defense would shatter.
As for the one who closed his eyes to control the Strange Fire, he also seemed to sense this situation.
Immediately afterward, he flicked his finger, sending the Strange Fire on his fingertip toward the skeleton.
Of course, the skeleton of this Dou Saint expert would not be so simple either.
Afterward, he carefully controlled a flame, which with a soft 'whoosh' pierced into the skeleton.
When the Strange Fire released by Lin Feng enveloped it, it instantly emitted a faint glow, resisting the high temperature of the Strange Fire.
He enclosed the Creation Saint's skeleton within it, continuously releasing scorching heat to bake it.
He then immediately increased the flame's temperature, wildly lunging at the white bones.
"Pop~"
During this time, the white jade skeleton inside the black fireball before Lin Feng saw its faint glow become extremely thin, on the verge of collapse.
With the aid of the firelight, Lin Feng gained a sense of how much bone marrow remained inside the Creation Saint's skeleton.
After a moment, accompanied by a slight sound like water breaking, the outer defense of the white jade skeleton shattered completely.
When it fell onto that white jade skeleton, it had already grown from the earlier small spark into a fireball several meters wide.
"Boom!"
And that Strange Fire, the moment it left Lin Feng's finger, also swelled up against the wind.
However, since this Dou Saint expert's skeleton is not an ordinary object,
At this moment, Lin Feng, who had kept his eyes closed for days, finally opened them.
Then he drove the bone marrow within, continuously gathering it toward one of the Creation Saint's finger bones.
Gazing at the white bone in the flame, the former's expression tightened.
As for Lin Feng seeing this scene, he also had no emotional fluctuation.
And in this roasting, several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, as Lin Feng pushed the bone marrow scattered throughout the skeleton, it was also quite arduous.
After all, he now needed to extract as much of the Dou Saint's bone marrow from this skeleton as possible.
He also had to maintain the flame's temperature, lest the Creation Saint's corpse suffer further damage, making it impossible to use this corpse for the resurrection secret technique.
This undoubtedly placed considerable demands on Lin Feng's control of Strange Fire.
Therefore, he also dared not act rashly, lest he cause irreversible loss.
"Drip-drop!"
Meanwhile, during this careful refinement, after more than an hour, the white jade skeleton baked inside and out by the flames finally dropped a thumb-sized gray gelatinous particle from one of its finger bones.
Seeing this, Lin Feng, who had long been eagerly waiting nearby, would naturally not let this Dou Saint bone marrow particle simply fall to the ground.
Thus, at the instant it fell, he hastily took out a jade bottle and placed it beneath that finger bone.
As for the bone marrow gathered there, it happened to fall into the jade bottle.
After the first particle fell, over the following several hours, thumb-sized gray gelatinous particles continued to drip from the Creation Saint's finger bones.
Naturally, the quick-eyed and quick-handed Lin Feng nearby did not allow a single drop of bone marrow to fall to the ground.
Whenever it fell, his jade bottle was always able to appear promptly beneath that gray gelatinous particle.
And this pleasant task only ceased after Lin Feng had collected the twelfth Dou Saint bone marrow particle from the skeleton.
Because at this moment, the bone marrow content within the Creation Saint's skeleton had become extremely scarce.
If he continued to refine it, he might end up damaging the skeleton itself.
In that case, the risk of the bone marrow being burned would increase somewhat.
"Hehe, twelve Dou Saint bone marrow particles—what a great harvest this time!"
Gazing at the gray gelatinous particle suspended in the twelfth jade bottle in his hand, Lin Feng cracked a smile and exclaimed excitedly.
Although the remaining bone marrow inside the skeleton had become very difficult to extract,
Lin Feng, having gained such a great harvest, was already quite satisfied.
"These Dou Saint bone marrow particles, I'll eat them after a while. For now, I need to deal with the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's corpse, lest my wife Feng'er get anxious."
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a stopper, sealed the mouth of the jade bottle in his hand, then placed a seal on it and stored it in his Space Ring.
As for the Dou Saint skeleton wrapped in Strange Fire not far before him, he likewise reached out and took it.
Looking at the much dimmer white bone in his hand, Lin Feng then reached out and touched it.
After confirming there was no damage, he then stored it in his Space Ring.
Having done these, he then promptly took out from his Space Ring chunk after chunk of extremely large bones.
Then he threw it into the not‑far‑away black alien fire that had not been extinguished.
And these bones were precisely the Heavenly Phoenix corpse bones he had taken out from the remains of the Creation Saint that day.
However, this ancient Heavenly Phoenix, because most of its energy was taken to nourish the Dragon‑Phoenix Origin Fruit.
Compared to the earlier Creation Saint, the latter's corpse bones are undoubtedly much duller in color.
It did not have that warm, jade‑like appearance; instead, it showed a gray‑white color that had endured many vicissitudes.
However, as Lin Feng dumped all of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix's corpse bones into the sea of fire before him, he faintly sensed that something was off.
In this room, at some unknown time, there seemed to be repeated extremely faint phoenix cries echoing.
Although this phoenix cry was faint, when it fell into Lin Feng's ears, for some reason it made his very soul tremble violently.
"This situation, could it not be that inside these bones there is still... this ancient Heavenly Phoenix's."
Lin Feng forcibly suppressed the tremor in his heart, speaking with a tone that carried a hint of certainty.
