[Root Bone: Lower Grade Dao Bone (Flame Point 4679/200000)]

Each advancement of root bone brings about a kind of transformation.

Mortal Bone is the improvement of soil, Spirit Bone is the growth of saplings, but at this moment, though it seems nothing has changed, there was a faint... movement of wind.

There is wind now.

Though very weak, it makes this vibrant world feel even more vivid.

Qin Yu immersed himself in that realization as if he had understood something...

The wind swept by.

He reached out, but caught nothing.

Coming out of his epiphany, Qin Yu began to try cultivating.

As expected, the speed of absorbing and refining Spiritual Qi increased tremendously!

But, that was all there was to it.

Perhaps, there’s the so-called chance to achieve enlightenment upon reaching the Lotus Platform Realm.

But for Qin Yu’s current rate of cultivation improvement, it’s there, but not much—even calling it barely noticeable wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

”Even the Dao Bone isn’t enough.”

Qin Yu’s brows furrowed slightly.

It looked like the most urgent thing right now was to first create his own cultivation technique.

Next, he glanced at the flame seedling.

The next attempt to upgrade root bone will need two hundred thousand Flame Points.

Seems like a lot, but as long as he returns to the Cyan Mountain Sect, with the help of his many beautiful wives, it’ll only take about two years.

Two years.

For a Golden Core cultivator with a five-hundred-year lifespan, that’s nothing.

He didn’t dwell on it too much, slipped under the covers, hugged his mature lady Master, and closed his eyes.

...

Next door.

After Qin Yu went to rest, Yan Yu casually set up a shield array and then took out her Flame Guard Token.

This was an identity token that allowed her to communicate directly with that supreme Empress of the Immortal Country.

”Your Majesty!”

Yan Yu started from the moment she met Qin Yu—first about his bone age and temperament, then about the ancient array he condensed.

He truly comprehended the Star Prison Array!

This is definitely great news for the Great Yan Immortal Country. At the very least, many critical hidden dangers can now be somewhat alleviated.

But, such a place clearly isn’t somewhere a mere Golden Core cultivator could endure.

Even with the protection of a Bright Moon Pearl, it wouldn’t do!

They can’t possibly send the Empress Dowager herself to protect him, could they?!

That’s absolutely impossible.

”Your Majesty, in the process of him forming the array, Yan Yu observed that his spiritual power is somewhat unique.”

Yan Yu recounted all these details in full.

On the other end, the Empress didn’t make a sound, just listened to her description of that spiritual power.

Perhaps it really is a bit odd.

But combining spiritual power with spiritual qi isn’t unusual; many Array Masters can do it.

It looks like this little cultivator called Qin Yu really does have the potential to become an Array Master!

”How is his root bone?”

The Empress opened her mouth for the first time, which showed what she cared about the most was still Qin Yu’s root bone.

That was the most important thing.

If it was only Spirit Bone, Qin Yu’s potential would be limited.

”He should have Dao Bone.”

Yan Yu answered for the first time with uncertain wording.

”Hmm?”

So Yan Yu described each detail she had observed.

She began with the moment she sensed the fluctuations around Qin Yu, all the way to the transformations that took place on Qin Yu that night.

The Empress certainly didn’t think her Close Guard’s senses were mistaken.

The Empress knew Yan Yu’s ability—after all, Qin Yu was just an early-stage Golden Core junior cultivator, no way he could mislead an elite Flame Guard she had trained herself.

Then how did such a transformation occur on Qin Yu?

Could there be some sort of special cultivation technique that masks the Dao Bone?

Is it possible that a place like Cyan Mist Hall would have such a technique, or could it be that cultivator Qin Yu had some slight fortuitous encounter?

All those things are possible.

Except, upgrading root bone... is highly unlikely.

”Lower Grade Dao Bone...”

Yan Yu couldn’t tell whether that Empress was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Even a Lower Grade Dao Bone is vastly superior to mere Spirit Bone.

If Qin Yu were only Spirit Bone, she wouldn’t even need to be his Guardian Flame Guard.

However.

With a Lower Grade Dao Bone, his ultimate achievements would still be quite limited.

If he wants to achieve much, it will take a vast quantity of rare resources.

So, Qin Yu’s comprehension and potential still need to be observed.

Meanwhile, there’s another important matter... the Celestial Tribulation.

That will need investigation too.

The Empress gave her instructions and then hung up the call.

Yan Yu had originally wanted to mention that Qin Yu was doing Body Refinement, but the Empress directly asked about the root bone, so she never got the chance.

Just as well, she could ask Guard Captain big sis about it.

So she took out another Sound Transmission Stone.

”Yan Yu, did you finish what Her Majesty assigned you?”

A familiar voice came from the other end.

It was the Flame Guard chief... Yan Zhi’s voice.

”The place of tribulation hasn’t been found yet; Her Majesty ordered me to be a Guardian for a year...”

Yan Yu reported honestly.

But Yan Zhi was a bit stunned at that.

The standards for picking Flame Guards are extremely harsh—at a minimum, you must have Top Grade Dao Bone. There are only five in total, after all.

Her Majesty is actually willing to send a Flame Guard to serve as a Guardian for someone else?!

That must be a person of incredible importance.

But didn’t Yan Yu go to Cyan Mist Hall territory? What kind of important person could be in a place like that?

But Yan Zhi didn’t ask much.

”Yan Zhi sis, do you know of a very... peculiar body refinement method?”

Next, Yan Yu described in detail what she had witnessed.

She made it so vivid Yan Zhi could picture it herself.

In the Imperial Palace, Yan Zhi looked at the Sound Transmission Stone in her hand, brows lightly furrowed.

Her Majesty actually sent Yan Yu to serve as a Guardian for a man?!

Yan Yu is the youngest among the Flame Guards; this was her first time carrying out a decree from the Empress.

It was supposed to be a training opportunity.

Who could have guessed that something like this would come up.

”Yan Yu, that’s not body refinement.”

Yan Zhi was pondering how to explain this tactfully, when she heard Yan Yu’s confused voice, ”But Yan Zhi sis, they’re Master and disciple. If it’s not body refinement, then what are they doing?”

Good lord!

They’re even Master and disciple?!

Yan Zhi was growing even more puzzled about what was going on at Cyan Mist Hall, and why Her Majesty would make such a decision.

Of course, as a Flame Guard, she wouldn’t question it.

Still, she had to remind this youngest sister, ”Yan Yu, what they’re doing is... reproduction.”

”Master and disciple can reproduce descendants?”

”...”

Yan Zhi was at a loss for words for a moment. ”Theoretically, as long as it’s a man and a woman, they can.”

”You’re still too young, don’t think about matters of reproduction!”

”Okay.”

Yan Yu, of course, took her words as law.

But Yan Zhi, still troubled, reminded her again, ”Just think of it as fish in the water, deer on the land, birds in the sky...”

”It’s one of the world’s most boring things—just something beings do to reproduce descendants, that’s all.”

But Yan Yu felt that Guard Captain sis seemed a little bit mistaken.

It didn’t look... all that boring, actually.
