#34 - Chapter 34: Exploring the Secrets of White Bone Mountain

"Wake up, little scorpion, wake up."

A series of calls echoed softly in his mind. Bone Piercing Scorpion groggily raised its head, its vision blurred, only able to see hazy light and shadows flickering around it.

It blinked hard, trying to clear its vision. After a long while, it slowly made out what was in front of it.

Oneheart and River Swallowing Toad were sitting around a campfire. In the warm and bright firelight, a large pig leg was being roasted by the Explosive Flame Gu, sizzling with oil. A rich aroma constantly rose from the golden crispy skin, turning into wisps of white smoke.

The white smoke covered Bone Piercing Scorpion's head. A fluttering butterfly, glowing with jade-colored fluorescence, circled beside it. After Bone Piercing Scorpion woke up, it seemed to be summoned again, gliding back into Oneheart's palm with streams of light.

"Little scorpion, are you hungry? Come and eat."

Oneheart put away Riverside Immortal, calling out to the Bone Piercing Scorpion, which had just woken up and was already curled up in a ball under River Swallowing Toad's huge shadow, trembling and looking pitiful and helpless.

Hearing Oneheart's words, Bone Piercing Scorpion didn't go over. Instead, it nervously retracted its two pincers, which had been rampaging earlier, hugged its head, and emitted a trembling, low-pitched "woo woo nong nong" sound.

The firelight in its eyes was no longer as intense as before, but dimmed and flickered, swaying with the wind. Even its always high-spirited and unrestrained tail was now obediently lying on the ground.

Oneheart shook his head helplessly, "Qingzhan, the little scorpion seems to be scared by you."

"Jiang Ang." (Humph! Weakling =_=)

River Swallowing Toad, however, looked at the Bone Piercing Scorpion, prostrating itself in front of it, with disdain, indifferently replying to Oneheart.

There was no way around it, this was the cruelty of nature, the law of the jungle. The Rank 5 River Swallowing Toad completely suppressed the Rank 4 Bone Piercing Scorpion ecologically. In River Swallowing Toad's eyes, it was just a dinner, and not much meat at that.

Oneheart naturally couldn't do anything about this natural phenomenon. He could only directly summon the Iron Sword Gu, turning it into a sharp blade in his hand, cutting off a large piece of the roasted pig leg, and taking it over.

Seeing Oneheart coming over, Bone Piercing Scorpion curled up even tighter, looking like a vibrating electric ball, its function being vibration.

Seeing Bone Piercing Scorpion in this state, Oneheart also complained: "Weren't you quite majestic during the day? You're too much of a bully."

But Oneheart had deliberately spared its life because it was useful, so he could only patiently bend down and activate Riverside Immortal to comfort it.

The "Gu worm true essence" within Riverside Immortal slowly transmitted from Oneheart's palm into Bone Piercing Scorpion's body. Bone Piercing Scorpion's body stiffened, immediately feeling a wonderful heat flowing through its entire body. A blissful comfort rose from its soul. It couldn't help but wriggle its body, raise its tail, and emit an excited "ga ga ga" sound.

Watching the Bone Piercing Scorpion, which was about to jump up with joy, Oneheart also timely retracted his outstretched hand, causing Bone Piercing Scorpion to look reluctant, the azure firelight in its eyes becoming crystal clear.

Oneheart chuckled, patted the bone armor on its head, placed the roasted meat in front of it, and turned back.

Watching Oneheart leave, Bone Piercing Scorpion whimpered, picked up the roasted meat on the ground, at a loss.

"Eat it, come over again if it's not enough," Oneheart's voice came.

Only then did Bone Piercing Scorpion slowly lift the roasted meat on its pincers to its face. The freshly roasted pig leg was glistening with oil, exuding a fragrance mixed with grass, wood, flowers, and fruits. With a gentle pinch, crystal clear and thick juice dripped from the tender meat, rising in wisps of light smoke.

Oneheart had experienced two lifetimes, both relying on little. He became independent early on, naturally developing superb cooking skills. Moreover, Oneheart acted always prepared, he prepared a lot of food for escaping Qingmao Mountain, this roasted leg, he marinated in Qingmao Mountain in advance and stored in the Bag Gu.

Delicious food was right in front of it. Bone Piercing Scorpion had been fighting fiercely, and was already dizzy with hunger. Since that "Toad King" was no longer bothering it, it couldn't wait to gnaw on the roasted meat in front of it.

Watching the Bone Piercing Scorpion devour the food, Oneheart handed the roasted fish in his hand to the eagerly waiting River Swallowing Toad. In the midst of the two Gu worms' excited eating sounds, Oneheart slowly closed his eyes and began his cultivation by the campfire.

No matter when or where, he would never give up the opportunity to increase his strength.

Gradually, a rustling sound came from his ears, as if the Bone Piercing Scorpion was not full, and was whimpering softly to him.

Oneheart chuckled, waved his hand, signaling it to enjoy it to the fullest, without fear.

The night was long, a campfire like a tiny star in the vast forest of White Bone Mountain, flickering brightly, a rising and falling "small mountain", and a rugged "boulder", surrounded it.

The firelight reflected his handsome and beautiful face under the wisps of smoke, like a dream.

"Chirp, chirp"

"Goo, goo"

The sound of birds chirping rang out, Oneheart slowly opened his eyes, strands of sunlight peeked through the gaps in the White Bone Forest, hitting his slender eyelashes.

The campfire had burned almost completely, only a few scattered sparks "breathed" and flickered in the smoke and dust.

"Huh? Where did Qingzhan and Scorpion go, where did they run off to?"

Oneheart got up in confusion. Last night, they were guarding him, otherwise, in this White Bone Mountain full of wild beasts, how could he be so leisurely, roasting meat and cultivating. However, after this night, he didn't know where these two had gone to play.

"Well, let them relax, I'll take a look at yesterday's gains first."

Then Oneheart took out several storage Gu worms. These storage Gu worms were all Oneheart had scavenged from the dead Gu Masters of Bai Family Village.

There were a total of ten, basically all Rank 1 storage Gu, only one was Rank 2, which was scavenged from that family elder, there was nothing valuable inside, mainly primeval stones.

Adding up, there were about one or two thousand. If it were the Oneheart of the past, he would definitely be amazed by so many primeval stones, but now that Oneheart had Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus and Gu Yue's inheritance, this number was not much.

Before the destruction of Qingmao Mountain, Oneheart had already obtained a large amount of wealth through his strength and status. In addition, the news that he planned to break through to Rank 4 spread to the clan, and he obtained a large amount of primeval stone funding, as well as the right to read all Gu recipes.

It can be said that the improvement of his strength had long made him no longer the weak child who worked everywhere to earn primeval stones. He had truly experienced the reality of the Gu world where the strong are respected.

In addition to these primeval stones, there were also some Gu worms that had not yet died.

They were basically Rank 1 to Rank 2 Gu worms, neither rare nor powerful. After all, how could a Bai Family Village have so many powerful Gu worms, it was difficult to even deal with a Bone Piercing Scorpion.

But there was one Gu worm inside that was still acceptable. It seemed to be the family elder's movement Gu worm: Rank 3 Leaping Step Gu, which could make people light as a swallow, taking a hundred steps in one step.

"This may be the reason why that family elder ran so fast, but unfortunately, he still didn't escape the Bone Piercing Scorpion's tail needle."

Oneheart picked up this unowned Gu worm, refined it in an instant, and no longer paid attention to these low-value spoils. The biggest gain this time should be the Rank 4 Bone Piercing Scorpion, and...

The Bag Gu opened, and a gilt incense burner slowly floated out, "Able to attract wild Gu worms, ha, good thing."

Although Oneheart didn't know the information about this incense burner, he had personally seen the effect of this incense burner. He decided to take it for his own use, and find capable people to identify it in the future if he had the opportunity.

With a wave of his hand, the various spoils and the incense burner on the ground were all taken back into the Bag Gu. Oneheart didn't take it for nothing, he cremated the dead Gu Masters of Bai Family Village on the spot, so as not to be found by Bai Family Village in the future. He didn't want the other party to know that he had been here, after all, Fang Yuan's goal was also here.

After he took care of the traces, two anxious figures surged in front of him.

"What, you found a secret cave?"

Hearing Oneheart's question, River Swallowing Toad and Bone Piercing Scorpion both nodded vigorously, with anxious and joyful expressions on their faces.

Looking at these two suddenly extremely close living treasures, Oneheart couldn't help but smile, "Did you become friends so quickly?"

River Swallowing Toad raised its neck proudly: "Jiang Ang ~ (I took it as a little brother (๑`・ᴗ・`๑))"

"Ga Ga Ga (Big Sister is the best ✧(◍˃̶ᗜ˂̶◍)✩)" Bone Piercing Scorpion also waved its big pincers, cheering in response.

Oneheart didn't understand the thoughts of the Gu worms, so he let them do what they wanted, "Okay, take me to see where the secret cave is?"

White Bone Mountain, the mountain is as its name suggests, not only is it a piece of white, but there are no ordinary soil and rocks in the mountain, all are things of white bone texture.

And this secret cave is also like this, the entrance of the cave is snow-white, and the walls around the cave are also covered with sharp bone spurs.

In White Bone Mountain, basically every cave entrance will be covered with bone spurs, which is not a rare thing, but this secret cave is not ordinary.

Although it is also covered with bone spurs, if you observe carefully, you will find that these bone spurs are like spiral spear tips, which are different.

"This wouldn't be a Spiral Gu Cave, would it!"

Oneheart felt a surprise. He came to White Bone Mountain to get the White Bone inheritance here, but unfortunately he was unfamiliar with the place and couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time it was discovered by River Swallowing Toad and Bone Piercing Scorpion, and he was also curious: "How did you find it here."

"Ga Ga Ga (It's me, it's me)" Bone Piercing Scorpion swayed its tail.

"Oh ~ tell me about it."

With the soul path Immortal Gu Riverside Immortal, Oneheart can easily communicate with Gu worms.

And this also made Bone Piercing Scorpion feel happy. After experiencing the wonderful "Gu worm true essence" yesterday, it wanted to join Oneheart's command, which had a "Rank 5 boss" sitting in town, so it used its years of experience living in White Bone Mountain to lead River Swallowing Toad to find this secret cave.

As soon as it "joined the group", it offered a big gift, Bone Piercing Scorpion immediately widened the road, Oneheart certainly would not be stingy with rewards, and casually threw out two primeval stones for them to eat as snacks.

If there were Gu Masters here, seeing Oneheart's actions, they would definitely scold him for wasting things. Others save money and use primeval stones for cultivation, but he directly feeds the Gu worms.

But Oneheart can only say: There's no way, I'm really not short of it, not to mention that this is not the first time he has done this, otherwise River Swallowing Toad would be so close to him.

Since the inheritance is right in front of him, Oneheart didn't hesitate, ordered River Swallowing Toad and Bone Piercing Scorpion to guard outside the cave, and got up to enter the cave.

This inheritance was set up by a righteous path Gu Master, there are no sinister mechanisms and traps. Oneheart followed the memory of the original work, twisted a very prominent bone spur, and entered a hall through a secret passage.

The entire hall was made of bone, a piece of pure white color. In the center of the hall, there was a huge water tank.

The water tank was filled with white liquid, as if it were milk, exuding a fragrance.

And this is the Milk Spring, the spring eye is connected under the water tank.

Milk Spring, as the name suggests, is spring water like milk. It is not only fresh and delicious, it is a good drink, but also rich in nutrition. Children can drink it to help growth and development, and the elderly can drink it to strengthen the body.

Of course, there are surprises in addition to this.

Oneheart didn't hesitate, directly reached into the tank, and after a while, he touched something, "Touched it, Bone Spear Gu."

Then he withdrew his arm, and a Gu worm appeared in his palm. The Gu was the size of a normal person's index finger, all white, one end was round, and the other end was sharp, like a miniature spear.

This is the Rank 1 Bone Spear Gu, although the grade is not high, the power is very amazing, no less than the Moonlight Gu inherited by the Gu Yue clan.

Oneheart continued to explore in the tank, and also salvaged a lot of Bone Spear Gu, and then salvaged a Rank 2 Spiral Bone Spear Gu, which is the advanced stage of Bone Spear Gu, not only is the power stronger, but also comes with a drilling force.

It's a pity that there are not many Spiral Bone Spear Gu. Oneheart salvaged for a long time and only got five, but the number of Rank 1 Bone Spear Gu is huge, as many as hundreds, and there is not a single Rank 3 Gu worm.

Oneheart was also not polite, directly refining all these Gu worms, rather than letting Fang Yuan spoil them, it is better for him to put them into his pocket.

These Gu worms need to feed on milk, and there are so many, maybe someone will ask: How to raise them?

Don't worry, because Oneheart plans to pry away the Milk Spring as well. Fang Yuan was being chased and killed, and didn't have time to get it, but Oneheart arrived early and had plenty of time to explore as much as he wanted, not to mention that there were Rank 5 River Swallowing Toad and Rank 4 Bone Piercing Scorpion guarding the entrance of the cave, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed.

Then Oneheart groped for a while, and entered the next hall from the second secret passage.

This hall was not much different from the previous one, except that there was no water tank in the center of the hall, but three white bone pillars.

At the top of the pillars, there were white bone arms carved, and three Gu worms were quietly sleeping in the palms.

"Rib Bone Shield Gu, Flying Bone Shield Gu, Arm Bone Wing Gu... choose one of the three, and be satisfied. White Bone Mountain inheritance, leave it for future generations."

Oneheart looked at the description engraved on the stone pillar, and after some thought, chose Arm Bone Wing Gu.

This Gu can allow a pair of bone wings to grow on the forearm. When flapping the bone wings, it can slightly increase the movement speed. The most important thing is that it can strengthen the human arm and increase the speed of the shot.

Oneheart once used Moonlight Gu, Dark Moon Flea, White Jade Devouring Gu, Sword Qi Gu, Iron Sword Gu, to form the mortal killer move - Moon's Breath Sword Style, which was originally based on swordsmanship. Gu worms that can increase the speed of the shot are of great significance to him, after all, in the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that matters.

After refining the Arm Bone Wing Gu, Oneheart didn't go to move the other two Gu worms, after all, righteous path inheritance has to be disciplined, and there are other treasures in this inheritance, there is no need to take such a risk.

After that, Oneheart came to the third hall again through the secret passage.

This hall is different from other halls, not only is there no secret passage, but there is nothing placed in the center of the hall, only a human bone sitting cross-legged in a cave wall at the end.

Yi Xin stepped forward and arrived before the human bones, where he saw a large book made of bone placed before the skeleton's feet.

Yi Xin gently picked it up and began to read. Inside, it chronicled the life and deeds of a Rank 4 Gu Master named 'Grey Bone Prodigy'.

In addition, it stated that if any later, fortunate individual was so inclined, they might offer a sacrifice and kowtow three times respectfully. After the offering, splitting open the skull would reveal a Gu.

This Gu was the Grey Bone Prodigy's Natal Gu. The inheritor should use it to benefit the world and uphold justice, or so it claimed.

Yi Xin understood the gist of it. He knelt down directly and kowtowed three times with genuine sincerity.

After the three sounds, the hall returned to silence, and nothing changed. However, Yi Xin didn't mind and patiently waited.

After an unknown period, a secret door suddenly appeared beside the skeleton. Yi Xin bowed once more to the Grey Bone Prodigy's remains, gently retrieved a Gu worm from within, careful not to damage the corpse.

He then put away the Rank 3 Bone Thorn Gu and entered the secret door.

Why not refine it? Because this Gu could cause a person's bones to mutate, producing sharp, hard bone spurs all over the body.

To use these bone spurs against enemies, one would first have to pierce their own skin and flesh, which would not only damage the body but also make it vulnerable to external infections.

Frankly, this move of harming the enemy by a thousand while hurting oneself by eight hundred was not Yi Xin's cup of tea, being a transmigrator from Blue Star. He wasn't fond of such 'endlessly troublesome tactics'.

After walking for an unknown duration, Yi Xin finally reached the end, where a tightly shut door stood before him, with four large characters inscribed on it: 'Flesh Sac Vault'.

The door wasn't locked. Yi Xin pushed it open directly.

Stepping inside, he found himself in a secret chamber. The chamber wasn't particularly large, but the walls all around were made of flesh, pulsating rhythmically as if inside the belly of some creature.

As Yi Xin stepped inside, the chamber seemed to notice his presence. A large mouth opened on the flesh wall, emitting an eerie laughter, and spat out a bright red tongue.

The tongue flattened out, revealing a bone book.

Yi Xin stepped forward to examine it. The book contained new information: this Grey Bone Prodigy had another identity, known as Flesh Bone Master.

And this Flesh Sac Vault was an even more precious hidden treasure, specifically left for pure and kind individuals who followed his instructions and sincerely kowtowed. If a successor was fortunate enough, they could freely tap the teeth of the Laughing Flesh Gu, and Gu worms would naturally be spat out.

Looking at the Laughing Flesh Gu that stored treasures before him, Yi Xin didn't immediately step forward. Instead, he pondered, 'I wonder if this Laughing Flesh Gu can be tapped multiple times. If a person can only get one item, then it's all up to luck.'

In fact, what Yi Xin wanted most from the White Bone inheritance was the renowned Bone Flesh Reunion Gu. This Gu was extremely helpful for cultivation; even for a Ten Absolute Physique like himself, it could still provide considerable assistance.

After all, the excessive True Yuan of the Ten Absolute Physique was a huge burden on him. Even with Lin Jiangxian's ability to devour True Yuan, it wasn't a permanent solution because her absorption speed was limited.

If he could use the Bone Flesh Reunion Gu to accelerate her absorption ability, he would basically no longer have to worry about the danger of the Ten Absolute Physique exploding.

‘What should I do? How does it determine different Gu Masters tapping it?’

Yi Xin’s thoughts raced as he speculated about the connections. ‘What is the biggest difference between Gu Masters?’

‘The biggest difference…’

‘Gu Masters… Gu worms…’

‘That’s right!’

Suddenly, he understood. He summoned Lin Jiangxian. Lin Jiangxian fluttered and landed on the Laughing Flesh Gu. Lin Jiangxian released her True Yuan, and the Laughing Flesh Gu's mouth stretched to its maximum, laughing heartily as one Gu worm after another was spat out.

Yi Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud at this sight. 'Heh heh heh, the biggest difference between Gu Masters is the True Yuan containing their respective will, and the refinement of Gu worms is based on this.'

‘But Lin Jiangxian’s True Yuan only contains the will of the Immortal Gu. You can’t recognize this kind of wonderful True Yuan, can you?’
