Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 266 Red Top Talent: Tianyuan Magnetic Bone

However, as long as Gong Tianwu obtains the complete technique of refining Gu, no matter which sect the technique comes from, he can master it in a short time.

It is not difficult to plan this matter. After all, with the strength that Gong Tianwu currently possesses, the inscribed crossbow he developed has evolved into an inscribed missile. It is very powerful and its power is no less than that of an ordinary flying sword in the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage!
In this situation, if Gong Tianwu casually sent out one or two hundred people to ambush any disciple in the Qi Refining Stage, including those from the Emei Sect and the Hundred Poison Sect, this person would surely die.

However, when taking action, Gong Tianwu must be within ten miles of the area. In this way, Kang can directly confuse the heavenly secrets and prevent the Floating Life Map from observing him. Of course, he can forget about using other means of cultivation and divination.

***
Summer,

the sun shines brightly,

Gong Tianwu was practicing with his eyes closed in the study. He had earned a lot of karma points in the past three years. More importantly, his destiny had also increased to five points as his sphere of influence expanded.

At this time, he had already raised his comprehension and physique to the minimum standard for practicing the Yuanci Gold Seal.

Of course, this is far from enough, because this is just the entry requirement, just like learning mathematics only requires hands and brain, but to become a mathematician like Gauss or even Wei Shen, you must have the support of talent.

Therefore, Gong Tianwu directly all the 73 Zhenlong Points he had at the time (he also earned some Zhenlong Points in this life) went all in.

While going all in, he also followed Kang's instructions and burned five causal points to consume the causal power so that the talent he desired would have a greater chance of appearing.

Finally, Gong Tianwu discovered that the first talent he drew was golden, and of course he felt very happy.

However, the second option that was drawn was gray! !
It was like a roller coaster ride with ups and downs, and Gong Tianwu wanted to curse.

Fortunately, the third option flashed a dazzling red light.

The fourth option is still red light, but this red light appears warmer.

The final four draw results obtained by Gong Tianwu are:

One gold, one gray, one red, one red,
This result did not surprise Gong Tianwu. After all, he had bet all 73 Zhenlong Points, which was a fortune he had accumulated over three lifetimes! !

Next he read through the four options carefully:
1. Flying on the Grass (Passive), gray talent. When you run on the grass, your physical strength consumption is reduced by 25%.

Grassland is defined as a flat surface with a plant density of at least 1 plant per square centimeter and an average plant height of no more than 1 centimeters.

2. Golden Talent: Kuafu Bloodline (Passive). When you are under sunlight, your training speed and movement speed will increase by 200%-270%.

Even during the day when there is no sunlight, you still have a huge increase, half of the former.

However, your continuous practice time cannot exceed nine days, otherwise you will provoke an attack from the Golden Crow Heart Demon.

3. Red Talent: Tianyuan Magnetic Bone (passive). This is an extremely rare talent, but the premise for it to work is quite demanding. You must also have the corresponding practice method.

At the same time, when you practice gold and fire mental skills, you may even cause harm to yourself.

4. Red Talent: Immortal Reincarnation (Active). After selecting this talent, you will randomly obtain most of the memories of a fallen immortal. However, there is also a very small chance that you will be possessed by this immortal.

Needless to say, Gong Tianwu chose the third red talent: Tianyuan Magnetic Bone. After all, he came for this.

And this talent is the most suitable for practicing the Yuanci Gold Seal, no other!

Under normal circumstances, it only appears with a very small probability in human-demon hybrids, and the father/mother must be pigeons, swallows, white cranes, wild geese, turtles, etc.

Why do you say that?
Simply because these creatures have the ability to migrate long distances.

For example, the Arctic tern flies from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic every year, a distance of 70,000 kilometers.

Not to mention wild geese and swallows, even sea turtles travel from their foraging grounds to their nesting grounds according to the season, often traveling tens of thousands of kilometers round trip.

They do not have any tools to help them find their way, but they will never get lost along the way. This is because they have one thing in common, that is, they have a unique organ in their body called the magnetic palace or magnetic orifice!
Relying on this organ, they can interact with the geomagnetic field, respond, and sense their own position anytime and anywhere! ! This is the core reason why they will not get lost.

Once this type of creature becomes a monster, it is equivalent to a substantial leap and qualitative change in the essence of life.

Of course, most of the time, the direction of evolution is towards advantages, such as birds becoming faster in flight and having sharper beaks and claws.

The turtles are focused on defense and longevity.

However, the direction of this evolution is uncontrollable after all. In the words of the game, it is the probability of randomly adding points.

Therefore, there is a certain probability that the evolution points of this type of monster may deviate to the magnetic orifice/magnetic palace in the body, and then form magnetic bones.

Of course, unless they could by chance become disciples of Xiankong Island, this talent would be wasted.

This is like the talent of being born with supernatural powers. In ancient times or in troubled times, it is a definite S-level talent that can make the possessor become a strong man like Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Li Yuanba, etc., and enjoy all the wealth and glory in the world.

But in modern times, this talent is likely to be E-level, with the lower limit being a murderer or a porter, and the upper limit being an Olympic champion.
The conditions for the formation of Tianyuan magnetic bones are even more stringent. A monster with the talent for magnetic bones must marry a human, and the child born must also be gifted. Only when the two are combined will there be a very small chance of the birth of a child.

Moreover, if the child does not have sufficient physical strength to support it, the Tianyuan magnetic bone will cause a huge burden on the child and may even take his life before he reaches adulthood.

After Gong Tianwu obtained this talent, he could feel the rib closest to his heart in his chest gradually changing, and he now has the ability of "inner vision".

You can see that a unique silver-white metallic texture begins to appear on the surface of the bones.

And these textures quickly formed obvious special lines, which looked mysterious and magical, and contained the mysteries between heaven and earth.

When the pattern on this rib was half formed, Gong Tianwu was able to establish resonance with the earth's magnetic field.

And when this Tianyuan magnetic bone was completely formed, Gong Tianwu casually took a bottle of stored Yuanci divine light and was stunned.

It turned out that when he had absorbed the Yuanci divine light according to the method described on the Yuanci Golden Seal, he had felt that this thing was extremely violent and unpredictable. It took a huge amount of energy and time to seize the opportunity to absorb even a tiny bit of it.

Even so, his heart was still filled with excitement, and his blood was boiling.

However, the Yuanci divine light in the bottle was still violent and unpredictable, but Gong Tianwu was aware of its changes. With a little attempt, he absorbed all the Yuanci divine light!

After this thing enters the body, it will cause severe pain. It needs to be refined bit by bit according to the records on the Yuanci Gold Seal, and then tamed for your own use.

But now Gong Tianwu doesn't need to go through so much trouble at all, because the Yuan magnetic divine light that enters the body will automatically gather towards the Tianyuan magnetic bone.

Ahem, then Gong Tianwu didn’t have to spend any energy and he could use it for himself, just like people automatically digest food after eating it.

In such a short period of time, Gong Tianwu had cultivated the Yuanci Gold Seal to the level of just beginning to understand the secrets!! Before that, he had made no progress in the three years.

"Ok??"

After mastering the Yuanci Jinzhang technique, Gong Tianwu suddenly had a strange feeling, and his eyes fell on the bronze lamp holder next to him.

Then I saw this thing floating up, and then it quickly twisted and gathered into a shape like dissolved candle wax, and finally turned into a round metal ball! !
Gong Tianwu narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately saw the metal ball shot out. In the process of flying out, it quickly changed into a bronze spear tip, and with a "whoosh" sound, it pierced deeply into the big tree outside the window.

What is surprising is that this tree, which is so big that one person can hug it, was pierced right through!!!

Immediately afterwards, Gong Tianwu flicked his fingers, and the tip of the bronze spear began to shake continuously. Then, with a "bo" sound, it was pulled out from the tree trunk, and this time it was actually flying towards Gong Tianwu himself.

However, it deformed again during the flying process and turned into a bronze sphere.

Then, like a pancake, it quickly became round and flat, turning into an ultra-thin giant disc, which slid directly to Gong Tianwu's feet and lifted him up into the air.

To be honest, this experience was really new for Gong Tianwu, so he began to practice intensively again.

***
Just when Gong Tianwu was practicing in seclusion, a special guest arrived at Prince Yong's Palace.

This man had fluttering sleeves and looked like an immortal with an extraordinary appearance. He was none other than Ming Zhenzi.

Chen Yunsheng walked forward anxiously and said:

"Real person? How?"

Ming Zhenzi smiled slightly:
"I am very fortunate to have fulfilled my mission."

Chen Yunsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looking relieved:
"Thank God, I didn't expect that I could actually get forgiveness from the Supreme Sect."

Ming Zhenzi smiled and said:

"Master Xu from the Shenxiao Sect is very strict this time. He doesn't tolerate any injustice. Everyone in the Shutang respects and fears him."

"The reason why you were able to pass this time is because this year's Immortal Gate Invitation actually sent four immortals from just three counties, while last time only two were selected."

When Ming Zhenzi said this, he handed Chen Yunsheng a golden plate with the shape of a small tripod engraved on it.

This card is called the "Question Card". Once you have it, even if you are an official regime recognized by the immortal sect that rules this place: the Shenxiao Sect, you can join the fight for supremacy in this land.

If you don't have this sign, you will be regarded as a bandit or a robber. If any disciples pass by, they can kill you with ease.

After hearing Ming Zhenzi's words, Chen Yunsheng immediately thought of two things:

"Forceps and kerosene."

Gong Tianwu requested that these two things be promoted vigorously.

The former is distributed to midwives to help women give birth.

This thing is simple but very effective. According to statistics, at least 40% of women who die due to difficult labor can survive because of this thing.

Fire water is made by re-distilling alcohol. It looks as clear as water, but actually tastes like fire when it goes down your throat.

It tastes like swallowing a knife and can easily make people drunk, but some alcoholics are crazy about it and regard it as a rare treasure.

But the actual use of this thing is to pour it on wounds, including those of postpartum women. Although there will be short-term severe pain, the probability of infection of the wound will be reduced by at least 70%.

It is precisely because of these two things that the survival rate of mothers and babies has been greatly improved.
In addition, Chen Yunsheng implemented a policy of light taxes and levies in his territory at this time, and foreign population continued to pour in, so the population showed an explosive growth trend, which led to an increase in the number of immortal seeds obtained by the Shenxiao Sect.

According to the statistics obtained by Chen Yunsheng, the number of children participating in the Immortal Gate Guidance is three times that of before, so it is considered bad luck to only obtain four immortal seeds.

***
After getting the championship medal, Chen Yunsheng immediately bared his ferocious fangs to the people around him.

He first marched his troops eastwards and pretended to attack Changchuan County of Khotan, thus luring the enemy commander Xue Qian to attack. In fact, he was conducting a classic siege and reinforcement strategy.

The army of Prince Yong fought with the army of Xue Qian for three hours. At this time, Chen Shengzhi appeared on the battlefield with his white-robed army, and attacked directly into the center of Xue Qian's army, deciding the outcome with one blow.

This battle directly wiped out one-third of the troops of the Kingdom of Khotan, and also allowed the Yongwang army to successfully swallow up the fat piece of meat of Changchuan County.

At this time, Prince Yong's army had actually formed a subtle tacit understanding with the Langshan Kingdom, and a strange state of peace appeared between the two sides.

It was because Wei Qu's health in Langshan Kingdom was getting worse day by day. In addition to the weakening of national strength, he had to exhaust all his energy to deal with the continuous invasion of the Waqar in the north.

From a strategic perspective, Prince Yong's army was absolutely unwilling to see the collapse of Langshan State at this time.

Because this means that they will have to face a powerful Waqar that has swallowed up the Langshan Kingdom, and they will have no way to develop under the tremendous pressure.

Under such circumstances, even though the Yong prince's army had been beaten to the vicinity of Sansheng City by Wei Qu's troops before, they still had no choice but to respond to Wei Qu's demands for money and supplies.

Chen Shengzhi then offered a plan. Taking advantage of the internal weakness of Khotan, he persuaded the Fourth Prince of Langshan to lead a part of the elite army to launch a feint attack from the west, thus attracting the attention of Khotan and mobilizing the troops there.

Then Ye Yuanjing led his troops over the mountains and reached Linchuan County of Khotan in just three days. He successfully ambushed the reinforcements of Khotan halfway and defeated tens of thousands of people in one battle. He then turned back and defeated Cangyu, the capital of Linchuan County.
