Wuzhou.
Zhenwu Temple.
Inside the Zhenwu Hall.
"Ancestor Master."
The three remaining top-tier Heavenly Persons bowed respectfully to the elder sitting backward on a donkey.
"Ancestor Master, the barrier has been in an unstable state, interfering with our detection of martial arts talents at the treasure bone level and above... There have been cases of martial arts talents of treasure bone level being discovered by those martial arts forces everywhere. How should we handle this?"
The leading top-tier Heavenly Person, the newly appointed head of Zhenwu Temple, Master Guang Yang, hurriedly asked.
"Talents above the treasure bone level must not fall into the hands of those martial arts forces, otherwise, it’s a complete waste of their potential... Moreover, after the big blunder last time, the higher-ups are extremely furious. Even I have suffered a setback. If the number of talents above the treasure bone level we send over significantly decreases, the status of our three factions may indeed be in jeopardy."
The elder sighed and said, "No matter what methods you use, you must find these treasure bone level talents who have been scattered. Moreover, this barrier, I’m not sure if it can still be restored. We need to establish a new method for collecting treasure bone level talents."
"Yes, Ancestor Master."
The three top-tier Heavenly Persons quickly took orders.
They knew the real situation, and despite their three factions looking strong in Dachang...they could easily be replaced with a slight misstep.
Chen Bell Platform.
Li Qian glanced at Xiao Hei, who was munching on Spirit Fish Meat Dried in a tree.
Its size had become quite large.
Probably weighing no less than a hundred pounds.
If it continues to grow like this, it could even carry people in flight.
Thankfully, after its mutation, Xiao Hei did not have any other anomalies, was very close to him, and quite human-like, seemingly a bit smarter than before.
Of course, it was still very silly.
At this moment, his master returned from the bottom of the mountain.
"Master, what’s made you so happy?"
Li Qian saw the old man coming back with his hands clasped behind his back, humming a tune, and asked curiously.
"Isn’t it the recruitment period recently? Apart from a jade bone talent, we’ve also discovered an extremely rare treasure bone level talent..."
Master Zhou Buping said.
"Treasure bone level talent?"
Li Qian exclaimed in surprise: "Isn’t jade bone supposed to be the pinnacle of Root Bone?"
To his knowledge, Root Bone was divided into five levels: Mortal Bone, Copper Bone, Silver Bone, Golden Bone, and Jade Bone, with each beyond Copper Bone further divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper.
Mortal Bone represents extremely poor aptitude for cultivation, with no hope for breaking through.
Copper Bone indicates a hope for advancement.
He used to be at the middle grade of Copper Bone.
As for Silver Bone...with a bit of effort, breaking through is easy, but to become an Innate Martial Artist would be more elusive, often requiring the help of an Innate Pill.
To become a true martial arts talent, one must reach Golden Bone.
Those who can become Innate are basically at the Golden Bone level.
As for Jade Bone...
It’s said to be the potential of a Heavenly Person.
"Of course not, jade bone can only be said to be the limit of mortals... It’s just that until now, treasure bone level talents have only existed in legends and never been seen..."
Master Zhou Buping shook his head and said: "This type of Root Bone... is comparable to Perfect Innate. They are the true pride of the heavens."
Perfect Innate still requires postnatal cultivation efforts.
But treasure bone level talents are naturally born.
"Master, those elder Peak Masters in the sect must be scrambling to take on this treasure bone level talent as their disciple, right?"
Li Qian asked.
"Of course, it’s said that on that day, those Peak Masters and Elder Peak Masters almost came to blows. But later... Hehe, it was snatched away by the Great Uncle Master."
Zhou Buping laughed.
"Ah? The Great Uncle Master took on a disciple? Wouldn’t that make the disciple’s seniority astonishingly high?"
Li Qian was immensely surprised.
"Indeed."
Zhou Buping smiled.
Their Great Uncle Master’s disciple... at least they would have to call him ’Uncle Master’ too.
And Li Qian’s generation would have to address him as ’Great Uncle Master’.
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
On this day, a guest hall of the Divine Sword Sect received a man claiming to be from the Zhenwu Temple, wanting to see the Heavenly Person Xiao of the Divine Sword Sect.
The hall master of the guest hall, Elder Xiang Xin, did not dare delay and quickly reported to the Sect Leader.
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was very surprised to hear this. Zhenwu Temple, as one of the three great factions of Dachang, was many levels above a martial arts sect like the Divine Sword Sect, said to be a powerful force that could speak with the Imperial Family.
Why would Zhenwu Temple suddenly send someone to the Divine Sword Sect?
He hurried to personally invite the Elder Peak Master.
Since taking on a disciple, this Elder Peak Master had not appeared and was probably carefully cultivating this treasure bone level talent.
Guest Hall.
Xiao Wendao decided to come out to greet the visitor from Zhenwu Temple as soon as he knew they had arrived.
But as soon as he arrived at the Reception Hall, he was inwardly shaken—the visitor turned out to be a Heavenly Person as well.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wendao nearly hopped in protest. freёweɓnovel.com
