Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 312: Chapter 177: Iron Bone King Snake

The Bone Cleansing Flower is the main ingredient for refining the Bone Cleansing Pill.

The Bone Cleansing Pill is a mid-grade Yellow Level pill with the ability to cleanse the bones, significantly enhancing their strength. Furthermore, for those in the Copper Bone Realm, after fully refining its effects, they can directly advance to the Silver Bone Realm without encountering any bottlenecks!

More importantly, the Bone Cleansing Pill is different from those pills that forcibly boost cultivation; it has no side effects and does not deplete future potential!

Dyson and Huang Miaoling have been stuck at the Copper Bone Realm for several years. Although they are only a step away from the Silver Bone Realm, they have been unable to break through all this time, causing them some anxiety. Upon hearing news of the Bone Cleansing Flower, they naturally became excited.

Dyson and Huang Miaoling are different from Lin Miaomiao. Both of them have distant relatives in the Inner Sect, and although the relationships aren’t particularly close, as long as they can advance to the Silver Bone Realm and offer some modest gifts, they would certainly qualify as Inner Sect Disciples this year!

While the difference between Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples may seem to be just one word, the disparity in treatment is worlds apart. Doubling the cultivation resources is just one part of it—most importantly, Inner Sect Disciples receive periodic guidance from the elders, can study higher-tier Martial Arts in the Scripture Pavilion, and even have a chance to enter the Crimson Cloud Secret Realm!

Although Lin Miaomiao has already reached the Silver Bone Realm, if the Bone Cleansing Flower is refined into Bone Cleansing Pills, their value would be extraordinary. She had been fretting over not having anything valuable to exchange with the management of the Inner Sect for a spot to advance to Inner Sect Disciple. Obtaining the Bone Cleansing Flower would solve her problem perfectly, so she had no objections.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng and asked, ”Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?”

After all, they were a team, and making decisions without collective input could cause rifts among team members.

Dyson and Huang Miaoyin, fearing that Gu Sheng might refuse due to the risks involved, hurriedly explained the benefits of the Bone Cleansing Flower: ”Junior Brother Gu, this Bone Cleansing Flower is the primary ingredient for refining the Bone Cleansing Pill! Elder Wang from Spirit Pill Peak is highly skilled in refining Bone Cleansing Pills. Based on his track record, if we can obtain at least one Bone Cleansing Flower and ask for his help, we should be able to get six Bone Cleansing Pills! Upon consuming the pill, it not only greatly strengthens the bones but also directly advances those in the Copper Bone Realm to the Silver Bone Realm, with no side effects! The Bone Cleansing Pill is not only highly valuable in the outside world but also extremely rare. Whenever it appears, there’s a mad scramble to acquire it! Now that we’ve come across this opportunity, it’s worth taking on a little risk.”

After hearing them out, Gu Sheng understood their intent. Indeed, the Bone Cleansing Pill would be highly beneficial to him as well. Considering their team’s composition, as long as they weren’t extremely unlucky and ran into a full squad from the Thousand Poison Sect, ensuring their safety shouldn’t be an issue.

”As the saying goes, ’Fortune favors the bold.’ Since the Bone Cleansing Flower is so precious, we should definitely give it a try.”

Hearing Gu Sheng’s agreement, Lin Miaomiao’s face lit up with a smile. ”Then let’s set off!”

Under Mo Buwen’s lead, the group quickly arrived at the location he had described.

”Senior Sister Lin, the Bone Cleansing Flower is inside that cave! Last time, I got lucky; the Iron Bone King Snake had gone out hunting, allowing me to stumble upon the Bone Cleansing Flower by chance. Unfortunately, just as I was about to act, the Iron Bone King Snake returned and caught me off guard.”

The five of them hid behind a cluster of shrubs, gazing at the dark cave in the distant rock face.

The cave entrance was decently sized, vaguely circular and irregular in shape, capable of allowing four to five people to pass through side by side. The edges of the entrance were marked by dried bloodstains.

”Senior Sister Lin, I looked up the Iron Bone King Snake in the Scripture Pavilion and found some records about it. Its hide is hard as steel, its fangs are venomous, and it has tremendous strength, surpassing even the Silver Bone Realm!” Mo Buwen carefully relayed all the information he had discovered.

Lin Miaomiao, who enjoyed reading ”miscellaneous books” in the Scripture Pavilion during her free time, was somewhat knowledgeable about various wild beasts. She had seen the Iron Bone King Snake in the illustrated manuals before.

”The fangs of the Iron Bone King Snake are highly venomous. Even a cultivator in the Silver Bone Realm wouldn’t last more than fifteen minutes if poisoned. Additionally, snake-type beasts are adept at constriction techniques. Once entangled, death is almost certain. When the battle begins, be extremely careful!”

After sharing the detailed information she had learned from the books, Lin Miaomiao immediately began outlining a combat strategy.

”Xiao Mo, you’ll lure the Iron Bone King Snake out with some wild beasts. Dyson, Miaoyin, and I will act as the main attackers in the front; Junior Brother Gu will handle ranged attacks from the rear. Xiao Mo, as your injuries have recently healed, your responsibility will be to sneak into the cave while the Iron Bone King Snake is distracted and retrieve the Bone Cleansing Flower! This location is too close to the Thousand Poison Sect’s territory; we can’t afford to create too much commotion. Once we secure the Bone Cleansing Flower, if we haven’t managed to kill the Iron Bone King Snake, we’ll retreat immediately!”

Dyson and Huang Miaoyin drew the longswords sheathed at their waists, their faces brimming with eagerness. ”Understood!”

Lin Miaomiao had teamed up with Dyson and Huang Miaoyin several times before; she was familiar with their abilities and they had some level of mutual understanding. She wasn’t worried about them. Her eyes fell on Gu Sheng. ”Junior Brother Gu, do you have any concerns?”

Gu Sheng had already begun loading arrows into his Shattering Star Crossbow. He looked up with a grin and said, ”I’m not the one who has to fight on the frontlines—why would I have any issues?”

Lin Miaomiao nodded and patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder. ”The priority is to ensure everyone’s safety! Remember, our goal isn’t to slay the Iron Bone King Snake.”
