Chapter 678: Chapter 698: That’s Not How You’re Supposed to Live Off Others _1

Lin Chen’s screams rang out once again.

Every once in a while, when Lin Chen’s bones could no longer bear it, Qiao Wei would let him rest for a short time, both to recover his energy and heal his injuries.

After a day of repeated torment, the first Sword Bone in Lin Chen’s body was finally refined.

"Alright, refining Sword Bone is just this process. The finger bone is the easiest. You will slowly refine it and gain more insights. In the future, refining will become more and more natural for you. Try it now and see if there’s any difference."

Lin Chen looked at his left index finger with a complicated expression. It looked no different from before on the surface, but he knew that it had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The piece of Black Iron Crow Essence had turned into white powder, losing all its luster, while its essence had been tempered bit by bit into that finger bone.

Sword Bone!

Like a Magical Treasure, the Sword Bone’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but deep down, it had become a sword.

An Indestructible and sharp sword, radiating a chilling sword energy that made one’s heart palpitate. This was also the power Lin Chen had felt before, as if it could pierce through one’s soul.

Lin Chen raised his hand and aimed it at the wooden table next to him.

Spiritual energy surged, and an extremely sharp Sword Qi shot out. The thick wooden tabletop was pierced through instantly. The Sword Qi went through the table and penetrated the wooden floor, disappearing underground.

Although there was no overwhelming momentum, its destructive power was incredibly astonishing, as if all the sharpness had been concentrated on such a tiny strand of Sword Qi.

Lin Chen lifted his hand and looked at his intact fingers, his eyes filled with surprise and delight, "amazing!"

Qiao Wei laughed, "This is just the first piece of Sword Bone. When Sword Bones fill your entire body, with a single thought, Sword Qi arrives, shattering everything within three feet. That’s when you’ll be truly invincible. People outside say that with a sword in my hand, I’m invincible within three feet, but that’s actually just a superficial illusion. The true invincibility lies in the Sword Bones within one’s body."

Lin Chen could feel the smoothness of the strike earlier. Indeed, with just a thought, the Sword Qi emerged, which was much faster than the sword held in his hand.

Comparing this Sword Qi speed, it seemed that while holding a sword for a single strike, countless Sword Qi could be emitted from the Sword Bone.

Lin Chen suddenly had a flash of understanding. That day, when he saw Qiao Wei walking on air and shattering everything around her, her Red Flame Sword wasn’t used at all. In fact, she had probably used her Sword Bone countless times, but it was just a higher level of Sword Intent.

"It’s amazing, Senior Sister. I will work hard in my cultivation and strive to have a complete set of Sword Bones as soon as possible."

Qiao Wei smiled, "After the Sword Bone is completed, it will be of great help in your cultivation. When I first researched this set, I was already at the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Over the years, I have repeatedly tested, modified, and found better Sword Bone refining methods to achieve the best results. The refining method I taught you today is already the twenty-seventh version."

"I could have reached the Transforming God stage long ago, but I have been holding it back, waiting to complete the set of Sword Bones before advancing again. That way, I will gain greater benefits and start from a higher point. If you can complete the set of Sword Bones before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, your achievements will sooner or later surpass mine."

"Of course, it’s not that you must refine a complete set of Sword Bones before you can advance. It doesn’t really affect your choice. No matter how many Sword Bones you refine, the more you refine, the greater the benefits you gain from promotion, and the higher the starting point since there is a big difference between the lower and upper limits of the same realm."

Lin Chen listened quietly, keeping her words in his heart.

Twenty-seven versions!

It was evident how difficult the path of Sword Bone development had been for Qiao Wei. Now, Lin Chen was able to directly enjoy the final and best method of cultivation...

Thinking about it, Lin Chen’s respect for Qiao Wei deepened.

In name, she was his Senior Sister, but in truth, she was his Master.

Lin Chen made up his mind to do his best to repay Qiao Wei and show his gratitude.

After all, he was a man, and it wouldn’t do to just take things without thinking of giving back. How was that proper?

Even those who depend on others aren’t supposed to do it like this!

Go ahead and rest well. Come back after you’re restored, and we’ll continue refining the two remaining finger bones and the palm bone behind the index finger. Only when they form a line can the fragile palm bone support the power from the front finger bones."

"Alright!"

For the next ten days or so, Lin Chen spent his time being tormented and tormenting himself.

It was a mixture of pain and joy.

Finally, the four pieces of Black Iron Crow Essence were used up, and Lin Chen had obtained four Sword Bones. His entire left index finger, along with the palm bone behind it, had become like a sharp sword when connected together.

What could be more flexible than a finger?

As Lin Chen excitedly played with his fingers, Qiao Wei’s Communication Stone lit up. She checked the message, furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and then turned to Lin Chen, "You wanted to see the outside world, right? I have to go out and handle some matters. Why don’t you come along?"
