Chapter 344: Five rounds of bone quenching, thousand *zong* bone burning, Xianyang Realm

Hong Ye and the Zhao clan, they happened to walk to the bottom of the Star-Plucking Hall, and were attracted by the loud noise above their heads. Cheng Fang and the three ladies of the Zhao clan were not far from them, so naturally they all heard it.

And Zhao Long and Hearing Hong Gang, who were walking in front and preparing to drink, were now standing in place, looking at the Star-Plucking Hall, their faces full of shock.

Below the Star-Plucking Hall, there were not only them.

Today is the ancestral sacrifice day. Many people are either like the Zhao Long and Hearing Hong Gang families, just returning from the ancestral temple, or are preparing to go to the ancestral temple for sacrifice, so there are at least thousands of people under the Star-Plucking Tower at this moment.

Such a loud sound, people in the martial arts, weapon refining, and medicine refining pavilions had long been attracted out. Everyone's eyes were focused on the fire ball on the Star-Plucking Terrace above their heads, which was three or four meters in diameter and intense and blazing.

To be precise, it was on Xia Hong, who was sitting cross-legged in the fire ball.

Compared to a group of juniors like Hong Ye, Zhao Yuankong, and Zhao Yuanwu, the eyes of Zhao Long, Hearing Hong Gang, and many Cold-Resisting Realm experts below were clearly much higher.

As they saw Xia Hong's state in the fire ball, their expressions gradually turned from initial shock to thick surprise and anticipation.

"It's the Lord inside!"

"Even the clothes are not damaged, this is not a state of being on fire, right?"

"I seem to see the Lord's bones."

"I saw it too, the Lord's bones, seem to be different from normal people..."

"Different, normal bones are white, the Lord's bones are dark red, and there are many bright golden fluid-like substances in the middle, just like flowing magma!"

"That flame seems to be caused by the bones."

"The Lord is closing his eyes, it seems to be a state of cultivation! Why can he float directly in mid-air?"

"Broken through, definitely broken through."

"It should be broken through. I can feel that the temperature around five hundred meters is significantly increased on the basis of the Holy Tripod furnace fire!"

"Xianyang Realm?"

"Nonsense, the Lord has been in seclusion for a full five years. If he didn't break through to the Xianyang Realm, would he come out of seclusion, and make such a big noise?"

"That's great!"

"The Lord's strength must have been turned upside down!"

………………

Unlike the surprise and anticipation of everyone below, Xia Hong, who was floating in mid-air with his eyes closed, was actually uneasy at this moment, and even a little lingering fear.

He was looking at his dark red bones through internal vision. He didn't know yet what the situation was with these bones that had been quenched five times.

"Sure enough, just like the process of remodeling skin-membrane when breaking through to the Cold-Resisting Realm, bone quenching and marrow production also have high and low differences. Last May, I completely quenched all the bones in my body once. After the first quenching was completed, the bone color was pure black, and the marrow produced in the bones was also black. Now that I think about it, using iron bones to describe it should be correct."

Xia Hong's eyes flashed slightly. He himself was a person who pursued the ultimate. Since he had such talent to support him, plus the blessing of the Enlightenment Lotus Throne, he had no reason not to pursue a perfect breakthrough.

So he didn't rush to break through, but boldly tried the second round of bone quenching.

This attempt really had new discoveries.

Four months later, the black iron bones that completed the second quenching turned into silver, and the marrow newly produced in the bones also turned into silver. What was more amazing was that the strength and self-healing ability of the bones were both increased by about three times.

Since there are silver bones, there must be golden bones!

Normal people would think so, and Xia Hong was no exception. But although the thoughts in his mind were strong, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, not to mention the pain of the bone quenching process, just the terrifying consumption of Yang Origin Pills was enough to make him feel heartache.

Helplessly, he could only find a way from the system buildings.

In the past four years, his silver resources had also become abundant.

He didn't have many choices at the time. The upgrades of the Yang Ruins Tripod and the Enlightenment Lotus Throne both required gold. Although the resources for the three pavilions were sufficient, considering the subsequent consumption, he gave up. Not to mention the Iron Wall and Black Soil, they didn't help him solve the cultivation problem much.

After calculating, only the Spirit God Monument remained!

After consuming 2 million silver, 20 million iron, and 50 million wood resources, he chose the level 4 Spirit God Monument and upgraded it to level 5.

【Ancestral Spirit Monument (Level 5): Mother monument, land-circling and sacrificial building, the farthest radiation distance is one hundred *li*】

【Special Function 1: Can exchange for four sub-monuments. After establishing contact with the mother monument, it forms an outpost area. Sub-monument exchange price: 200,000 silver, 10 million iron】

【Special Function 2: Within the outpost area framed by the sub-monument, the activity trajectory of any foreign life form will be detected and fed back to the mother monument】

【Special Function 3: Can exchange for small ancestral spirit tablets, unlimited quantity. Those who record names on the ancestral spirit tablets can enjoy incense offerings. The living can increase cultivation speed by one fold, and life and death and orientation can be confirmed through the ancestral spirit tablets; after death, incense continues, the heroic spirit lasts forever, and can protect descendants, 1 ancestral spirit tablet/500 silver】

【Special Function 4: Can exchange for yellow candles. After the candle fire is lit, any ghost means within the reflection range will be invalid; yellow candles can be used for sacrifice to enhance the divinity of the spirit tablets】

【Special Function 5: The host is the only Great Ancestor, and can enjoy an incense cultivation boost once a year. The boost effect is related to the number of worshipers and the degree of piety】

The level 5 Ancestral Spirit Monument brought huge surprises.

First of all, Does Does Da Xia's safe zone was directly increased to a range of one hundred *li*, not only covering the entire Xia City, but also extending thirty kilometers outward, wrapping the outer periphery of the east side of Red Wood Ridge and the outer periphery of the south side of the Arrow Bamboo Forest.

Secondly, the small ancestral spirit tablets not only added a means to improve the overall strength of the camp, but also successfully established the regulation of opening the sect and setting up sacrifices in Does Does Da Xia by borrowing the attributes of the ancestral spirit tablets.

Taking the opportunity of adding the regulation of opening the sect and setting up sacrifices to the Xia Ritual, Xia Hong had already established a complete set of patriarchal systems in Does Does Da Xia. Great sect and small sect, main sect and branch sect, from the inheritance of the Lord's throne, to the continuation of the clan, to the inheritance of father and son, seniority, all were clearly stipulated, which was considered to have made a more perfect Long Mountain eldest son inheritance system.

Of course, the most important thing for the level 5 Ancestral Spirit Monument is the last item.

An incense cultivation boost!

Last year, as soon as the Spirit God Monument was upgraded to level 5, Xia Hong immediately announced the regulation of opening the sect and setting up sacrifices, and then summoned everyone in the camp to start the first sacrifice. Taking advantage of the sacrifice, he directly experienced an incense cultivation boost.

That terrifying cultivation boost effect made Xia Hong immediately see the opportunity to continue quenching silver bones.

Lasting three months, in January of this year, he successfully quenched the silver bones to the level of golden bones. This time the strength improvement was even more exaggerated, a full five times.

Is gold bone the limit?

Xia Hong was still not satisfied at this time, and chose to continue seclusion.

It took five months, and in June, Xia Hong completed the fourth round of bone quenching.

At this time, his bones had turned into a transparent cyan jade color, which was 70-80% similar to the bones of high-level cold beasts.

The strength improvement this time was another five times!

"I'm really crazy. After four quenchings, the bone strength has accumulated to thirteen times that of normal iron bones, and I'm still not satisfied, and actually went crazy to carry out the fifth time. What is the situation with my bones now!"

Xia Hong came back to his senses, staring at the dark red bones in his body through internal vision, seeing the bright golden marrow overflowing from the bones, his expression full of shock.

At the end of July, which was the final stage of the fifth bone quenching, he found that the jade bones that were originally indestructible in his body had all cracked.

Seeing this scene at the time, he naturally thought that after the bones turned into cyan jade, the strength had reached the limit and could no longer be quenched, and could not withstand the medicinal power and would crack. ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
