Coming out of the mission hall, Lin Sheng was still chewing on the name Mad Tiger.
“Luo Yin’s Disciple…”
He naturally already knew who Luo Yin was, one of the few Dark Star Envoys in the Dark Star Organization, a master at the Transforming Void Grandmaster Realm.
He was also the head of Dark Star in Volong Road.
He wasn't sure why this Mad Tiger suddenly also set his sights on the Spirit Bone Python.
After all, the main use of the Spirit Bone Python was to make Bone Transformation Pills and some high-quality armor.
For ordinary people, it might be quite attractive, but Mad Tiger, as a Disciple of a Dark Star Envoy, shouldn't have any interest in these things.
“Could it be that he is also cultivating the Jin Wu Gu Secret Method?”
This thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed it.
As far as he knew, this Mad Tiger was not like him, who became a Disciple halfway. He had just started on the path of Martial Arts not long ago and had already become Luo Yin’s Disciple. It was basically impossible for him to cultivate the Jin Wu Gu Secret Method.
Moreover, even if he cultivated this secret method, all he needed was Bone Transformation Pills, and there was no need to spend a large amount of contribution points to purchase Spirit Bone Pythons.
And he just happened to post a request shortly after he did.
This situation seemed to have some other meaning.
Lin Sheng walked slowly towards the area outside the station, thinking in his heart.
He didn't seem to have any conflict with this guy named Mad Tiger, and he had only heard of his name for the first time today.
“Is it a coincidence? Or…”
He muttered to himself, but he had some guesses in his heart.
“Forget it, since I missed this time, I’ll just wait a little longer. A reward of a full 7000 points, I believe many people won't be indifferent. Even if the Spirit Bone Python is relatively rare, it shouldn't take long for news to come.”
Thinking this, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and returned to his residence in the city.
He began to continue cultivating.
Jin Wu Bone, Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange, True Yang Change, he basically spent all his time on the cultivation of these three secret methods.
True Yang Change had already made some Breakthroughs, and the compression of internal organs had reached a Bottleneck, finally slowing down the progress.
On the contrary, Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange became the fastest progressing among the three secret methods.
The Bone Transformation Realm actually has some common ground with Skin Transformation.
Skin Transformation is to squeeze out the mixed Bloodlines in the body, purify them into pure nutrients, and feed them back to oneself.
And Bone Transformation, in the end, is also the same, just a deeper level of squeezing.
Extracting the extremely deep Bloodline remnants hidden in the bone meridians, refining them, and at the same time feeding back to one's own Bloodline. At this point, one's main Bloodline will become purified to a terrifying degree, thereby reshaping a set of bones, or to be precise, they should be called demon bones.
Bone Transformation is also divided into two stages.
The first stage, extracting the hidden Bloodline in the bones, is called Bone Breaking.
The second stage, feeding back to oneself with bone blood and reshaping the bones, is called Bone Tempering.
The difficulty of this Realm is much higher than Skin Transformation.
Even with the Scarlet Eye Flame Dragon integrated into his body, his cultivation speed still slowed down.
Of course, the so-called slow cultivation speed was only for him. Compared with other Martial Artists who cultivated this secret method, his cultivation speed was already considered extremely fast.
“It has been confirmed that the Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange secret method has a significant amplification effect when integrating dragon-type exotic beasts. Snake-type exotic beasts also have an effect. If I integrate a Spirit Bone Python, it should also have a certain amplification effect.”
This thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly calmed down and immersed himself in cultivation.
Five days later.
This time, news came from the stronghold again.
There was news of a Spirit Bone Python again.
But there was also bad news, which was that this Spirit Bone Python had been snatched by someone else again.
It was still the same Mad Tiger as last time.
Lin Sheng walked out of the mission hall expressionlessly.
The request from that Blazing Star Envoy named Mad Tiger was still hanging there.
So this time's Spirit Bone Python also fell into his hands.
“Hoo… As expected, I'm being targeted.”
He let out a light breath, Lin Sheng looked up at the setting sun in the western sky, stretched out his palm, and a ginkgo leaf slowly fell into his palm, and was then ground into powder.
When he returned to his residence in the city, someone quickly knocked on the door.
“Lord Ghost Face, your humble servant Red Fox wishes to see you.”
“Come in.” Lin Sheng said slowly while sitting in the courtyard.
As his voice fell, the door opened inward, and a short, sharp-faced man with a monkey-like appearance walked in with a smile on his face.
“What is it?” Lin Sheng's face was expressionless, he raised his eyes and swept his gaze over. At this moment, he was thinking about whether to find an opportunity to sneak into Fulong City and quietly kill the guy named Mad Dragon, and he subconsciously carried a bit of killing intent.
“Your humble servant…”
Red Fox, who had been smiling all over his face a second ago, instantly stopped in his tracks, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. That indifferent gaze falling on him made his heart miss several beats.
As a Hidden Star Envoy in Dark Star, he had the strength of Bone Transformation Fifth Layer.
Moreover, he possessed the Three-tailed Cheng Huang Bloodline, and was inherently known for his perception and speed, able to sense danger to a certain extent. This ability had also allowed him to escape danger in many missions.
But at this moment, being stared at by that gaze, he felt that the figure ten meters away from him was not a person, but a terrifying demon beast with terrifying strength that devoured people, making him instinctively want to prostrate himself on the ground.
For a moment, he even completely forgot what he was originally going to say.
“Hmm? What do you need me for?” Seeing Red Fox's face as pale as snow, and even his body trembling slightly, Lin Sheng frowned and asked.
He had seen Red Fox once or twice in the stronghold, and he was a little curious why the other party came to him.
At this moment, Red Fox's body finally trembled and he reacted, because the terrifying pressure on the other party had suddenly disappeared just now.
“Uh…”
Red Fox swallowed hard with effort, secretly shocked. At this moment, he finally realized that the strength of this Blazing Star Envoy, who was only at the Early Stage of Bone Transformation, was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface.
“There is a letter for you from Fulong City. It just so happens that I was at the stronghold, so I brought it to you.”
As he spoke, Red Fox had already taken out a well-sealed letter from his Pregnant and respectfully presented it.
“My letter?” Lin Sheng was stunned, he didn't know anyone familiar in Fulong City.
“Could it be Sister Ning and Huang Quan?”
Thinking this, he raised his hand, took the letter, and placed it on the table.
“Thank you.”
“Lord Ghost Face, you are too kind, this is what I should do.”
Red Fox replied with a forced smile on his face.
“Since the letter has been delivered, your subordinate will not disturb you any longer.”
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, Red Fox's footsteps paused, and his heart was already hanging in the air.
Although he didn't know what was written in the envelope, he knew who wrote the letter. Thinking of the rumors about Lin Sheng and Mad Tiger in the stronghold during this period, he didn't want to be implicated, after all, according to his experience, these extremely talented seed geniuses often had bad tempers.
“How can I let you make a trip for nothing? This is a Blood Nourishing Pill, consider it your reward for this trip.”
Hearing this, Red Fox's hanging heart finally dropped. He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead and caught the porcelain bottle thrown from behind.
“Thank you, Lord Ghost Face.”
Clutching the porcelain bottle in his hand, Red Fox was quite surprised. He didn't expect that just delivering a letter would earn him a Blood Nourishing Pill. This was an auxiliary pill for the Bone Transformation Realm, and the value of one pill was at least several thousand taels of silver.
“Go down.”
Lin Sheng's voice sounded.
Red Fox woke up from his daze, responded, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face, but he still stepped outside.
Lin Sheng didn't pay attention to Red Fox anymore, picked up the letter on the table, and was about to open it when he saw that Red Fox had turned back and walked back.
Lin Sheng looked up, and Red Fox said hesitantly.
“Lord Ghost Face, your subordinate has a few words to remind you.”
“Oh?” Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes, already thinking of something.
“Lord Ghost Face, Mad Tiger, the Blazing Star Envoy, is the third Disciple of Lord Luo Yin, and also the Disciple most valued by Lord Luo Yin. His talent is extraordinary, but he is still young, so he is inevitably a bit arrogant.”
Red Fox spoke hesitantly, and at the same time lowered his voice a little, adding in a low voice.
“Although Lord Shen Jun's strength is the strongest among the several Dark Star Envoys, because he has some minor mental issues and doesn't care about power disputes, so... cough cough, in short, Lord Ghost Face should be cautious, it's okay to take a step back if you encounter something…”
After speaking, Red Fox bowed and hurried away.
Only the thoughtful Lin Sheng was left in the courtyard.
He held the letter in his hand. Although Red Fox spoke vaguely, he naturally understood clearly.
“Mad Tiger?” He chewed the name softly, already knowing where the letter in his hand came from.
Hehe…
Lin Sheng suddenly shook his head and chuckled, his palm shook, and the envelope shattered, revealing the well-preserved letter paper inside.
He only glanced at it before crushing it.
There wasn't much content on the letter, just a short sentence.
“The Spirit Bone Python is with me. If you want the Spirit Bone Python, come to Fulong City.”
Fulong City.
Lin Sheng moved his neck, making a series of crisp bone cracking sounds.
“I've long heard that Fulong City is the center of a road. It's good to take a look, maybe there will be other gains.”
The next day, Lin Sheng left Yong'an and went straight to Fulong City.
Since the other party wanted to meet him, he would just fulfill his wish.
He originally intended to visit Fulong City and also see Qi Ning and Huang Quan.
*

Fulong City.
Gong Mansion.
In the spacious courtyard, tall walls stood, and the courtyard was empty, with only a circular pond in the center.
In the pond, a shirtless figure sat cross-legged.
However, the water in the pond was bright red, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air. It was all blood.
In the center of the pond, which was several zhang square, a vortex formed with the figure's breathing.
The vortex was small at first, but it rapidly grew larger with each breath, and in a few breaths, it had stirred the blood in the entire pond into a rapid rotation.
The figure sat cross-legged in the center of the vortex, unmoved by the swirling flow.
Soon, a bloody tiger head appeared on the figure's bare chest. The tiger head was lifelike, in a roaring posture, as if a real fierce tiger beast was hidden in his chest.
As the tiger head became more majestic and fierce, a ferocious elephant head slowly condensed on his back.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the elephant head on his back was completed, emitting a savage aura just like the tiger head, as if two terrifying fierce beasts had suddenly appeared.
Roar—
Tiger roars and elephant trumpeting sounds rose from the courtyard. The two fierce beasts seemed to have come alive, slowly bulging from the skin, as if wanting to break out of the flesh.
The figure in the center showed a trace of pain on his face, looking ferocious.
The next moment, his eyes turned bloody, and streaks of bloody lines appeared on his cheeks, rapidly spreading throughout his body.
“Drink!”
Finally, with a loud shout from his mouth.
The tiger head and elephant head on his chest and back finally stopped their abnormal movements and returned to calm.
“Mere dead things still want to break free from my control.”
The figure's face showed a look of disdain, and he spoke contemptuously.
With a splash, he leaped out of the pond. At this time, the blood in the pond was already like clear water, transparent to the bottom, and the bloody smell that permeated the courtyard had completely disappeared.
“Refreshing, as expected of a profound art. This feeling is truly wonderful, far beyond what it was before.”
Gong Wei tilted his head back, moving his body, and a series of muscle and bone cracking sounds echoed from within him.
Suddenly, his figure pounced out like a fierce tiger, his hands like tiger claws reaching towards the grey-clothed old man on the other side of the pond.
His claws tore through the air, bringing out dense air explosions wherever they passed. The strong wind split the pond water in two and instantly reached the old man's front.
The old man's face showed no fear, not the slightest intention of retreating. His True Qi surged, he clenched his hand into a fist, and met the attack head-on.
Bang bang!!
With two muffled sounds, a terrifying sonic boom spread out between the claws. With a slap, the pond water under his feet splashed up and scattered around.
Gong Wei's figure retreated and landed steadily back on the ground.
“Not bad, not bad, Third Young Master. Your punch already has nearly 600,000 jin of strength. If you activate your ancestral Bloodline, I'm afraid it can easily exceed a million jin. Even a Martial Artist at the Early Stage of Divine Transformation Realm may not be able to compare with you.”
The old man was naturally Yi Ye Qing. He stood with his hands behind his back, and seeing that his young master's strength had improved again, a smile appeared on his face.
“With my full power unleashed now, I might not even be afraid of facing the third transformation of Divine Transformation Realm.”
Gong Wei was also extremely satisfied with his improved strength.
“In as little as half a year, or at most a year, I will definitely reach the Peak of Bone Transformation Realm. At that time, I can try to break through to Divine Transformation Realm and fully activate my ancestral power. Even the Eldest Senior Brother, I will not fear.”
He smiled, as if he had already seen his bright future.
“Yes, but breaking through to Divine Transformation Realm is no small matter. Third Young Master, your Bloodline is extremely strong, but you still need to temper your mind more. You need to put more effort into the Tiger and Elephant forms in the Mad Tiger Swallowing Elephant Art.”
Yi Ye Qing advised at this moment.
“I understand, Uncle Qing, I will pay attention to it. However, in my opinion, mind tempering progresses fastest in combat.”
Gong Wei responded indifferently, pulled a piece of clothing from the side and draped it over himself, then changed the subject.
“The letter should have been delivered by now, right?”
Hearing this, Yi Ye Qing nodded and replied with a light sigh.
“Calculating the time, it should have reached that Ghost Face.”
“But Third Young Master, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate? After all, you are both organizational seeds, it's better not to have any conflicts. Making friends is the best strategy.”
“Don't worry, Uncle Qing, I know what I'm doing. I just want to see if this seed is qualified enough. After all, you know about Shen Jun's problem. If I misjudge him, wouldn't it be a waste of a lot of resources for the organization.”
Gong Wei said indifferently, not caring at all.
Seeing this, Yi Ye Qing could only sigh inwardly.
