Chapter 3456: Profits in the Bag

Ye Liuyun was also skeptical, but after scanning with his Golden Pupil he indeed found no other way out, so he simply followed the Book Demon's suggestion and first refined the jade divine bone.

Anyway, with stone Kuailei guarding outside, he should be absolutely safe inside this stone chamber.

So he immediately took out the jade divine bone, preparing to refine it.

"A jade divine bone of this size certainly isn't enough to reinforce all your bones; it can only strengthen a part. You should decide where to refine it before you start!" the Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thanked him, feeling that the Book Demon's reminder was very timely.

After thinking, he decided to refine the jade divine bone into his left arm, so that later he could use his left arm to block attacks and it would be less likely to fracture when striking others.

Then he began the actual refinement. What he didn't expect was that refining the jade divine bone was even more painful than his previous body cultivation, as if his marrow were being completely replaced, starting from the tip of his left finger, cutting his bone bit by bit.

"Ah!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't help shouting at the start. Then the inhuman pain became unbearable. Ten Thousand Gods Command began to emit its radiance, keeping him conscious so he wouldn't faint. He had to grit his teeth and endure, his whole body quickly drenched in sweat.

He didn't know how much time had passed, only that the pain kept traveling up his arm bone until it reached his left shoulder, where the jade divine bone, exhausted of energy, turned into a pile of powder, marking the end of the refinement.

And Ye Liuyun, after the Ten Thousand Gods Command's light dimmed in his Sea of Consciousness, immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Until half a day later, he woke up again. After waking, he immediately returned to his Space World and went to the Life Spring Water to restore the depletion of his body.

He felt the pain was too intense, draining his life force greatly, and needed to replenish it before he could be at ease.

He also recruited some captives to practice, using his freshly refined left hand, and with just Physical Body strength he hard‑struck a Taixu Fourth Layer Martial Cultivator with a punch. The result was that his arm was completely unharmed!

"Alright, at least the effect is decent, not a wasted effort! If there's a chance, I'll try it on a Taixu Liu Chong Martial Cultivator next!" Ye Liuyun was satisfied with the result, though he still didn't know how much damage his left arm could now endure.

He returned to the stone chamber again. This time he didn't exert force; he simply tapped the stone door with his freshly refined left hand, and the stone door opened immediately.

"You really guessed it right!" Ye Liuyun immediately praised the Book Demon again.

The moment Ye Liuyun emerged, everyone's gaze turned toward him.

"What's inside the stone chamber?"

"Did you find a way out?"

The Martial Cultivators outside all asked in turn. They speculated that the stone chamber might contain opportunities, not just a simple way out.

Some people's eyes on Ye Liuyun immediately turned strange, flashing with greed.

"There's nothing inside, yet you trapped me for half a day!" Ye Liuyun naturally wouldn't tell them the truth, lest they swarm to rob him.

"Do you think we're fools? You were in there so long, then say there's nothing, and you expect us to believe that?" the elder who had been misled by Ye Liuyun jumped out to throw stones at him.

"Fine! I've already said that if you can get us out, we'll give you a reward. My word is my bond! If you don't believe it, we can sign a Divine Soul Contract."

"But you can't keep the benefit to yourself and tell us nothing!" the strongest Martial Cultivator began to pressure Ye Liuyun, a smug look in his eyes.

He had originally planned the same: later force Ye Liuyun to hand over whatever he obtained and the way out, without giving him any reward. After all, Ye Liuyun's realm is low; he's certainly no match for their many.

Ye Liuyun saw

As these people gradually revealed their true colors, he just smiled. He had long anticipated this outcome, so he simply smiled and headed toward another stone chamber.

But as soon as he walked away, he found the stone Kuailei behind him also following him.

"Huh? This stone Kuailei might be a reward for me defeating it, right? If so, then I really don't have to fear these people!"

Ye Liuyun was also quite surprised, and immediately used his Divine Sense to communicate with the stone Kuailei.

Upon communicating, he discovered that the stone Kuailei's intellect was low, yet it truly recognized him as its master.

"It really is a reward for beating it! It even gave itself to me as a reward!" Ye Liuyun was also a bit surprised.

The other Martial Cultivators were stunned by the scene. A Great Void Ninth Level Kuailei could almost instantly kill them.

Even if they outnumbered and could wound Ye Liuyun, they would probably be completely slain by that Kuailei in the end.

The few Martial Cultivators who had originally intended to strike Ye Liuyun were approaching him, but then suddenly all halted, unwilling to get any closer.

Ye Liuyun's mouth corner lifted, yet he didn't stop; instead he went to the stone chamber on the right, ready to continue challenging that stone man.

At this point, even if he didn't admit he had obtained a treasure, the others wouldn't believe him. No one would do something without benefit. If he hadn't gotten a benefit, he certainly wouldn't fight a stone Kuailei again.

Everyone stared, watching whether the stone Kuailei he had just defeated would aid Ye Liuyun in battle. But the stone Kuailei had already stopped in advance, showing no intention to strike.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind having an extra stone Kuailei as a helper; after all, he could defeat the Kuailei before him on his own.

However, to everyone's surprise, this stone Kuailei's realm had become Taixu Fourth Layer, not Taixu Third Layer. It's likely the original owner of this place set the puppets so that after defeating one stone man, the next one's level rises by one layer.

"Crossing two layers for a challenge?"

The onlooking Martial Cultivators behind thought Ye Liuyun definitely wouldn't make it this time.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun threw a punch straight at the stone Kuailei. The stone Kuailei reacted quickly, meeting his punch with one of its own.

"Even if this kid doesn't die, his arm bone will break!" a Martial Cultivator immediately guessed.

The highest‑realm Martial Cultivator even shifted his position, assuming Ye Liuyun would be blasted away by the stone Kuailei, and waited at the spot where Ye Liuyun would be thrown.

At the same time, the Ten Thousand Gods Command in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness flashed, and the illusion technique intensified again. Those Martial Cultivators resumed fighting the illusion.

Though the strong one's position was accurate, Ye Liuyun didn't get thrown out, and he was immediately entangled by the illusion again, leaving him no energy to keep watching Ye Liuyun; otherwise protecting himself would be difficult.
