Chapter 230 Tiger Demon's Evil Bone
In Changfeng County, the county seat of Hegu County, a teahouse was bustling with noise.

With a sharp crack as the gavel fell, the story began.

"That Yellow Wind Demon was truly cunning. He had already set a trap in Yellow Wind Valley. With his shout, yellow sand filled the sky in an instant, blotting out the sun. All the cultivators who had entered Yellow Wind Valley were trapped inside, and no matter what they did, they could not break through."

"In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, under the sandstorm, a large number of cultivators perished. Even the Xuanjia Army, which had fought in the south and north, was subjected to a brutal massacre. Although General Hu fought back with all his might, he was ultimately no match for them and was tortured to death by the Yellow Wind Demon."

"Seeing this scene, everyone was filled with despair. But at that moment, a dragon's roar shook the surrounding area. It was the Lord of Yanqiu, the great demon Frost Flood Dragon, who had made his move. It was extremely righteous and could not tolerate a demon like Huang Feng..."

With passionate words, the storyteller recounted the latest tale with all his might.

While ordinary people listen to this story for entertainment, some thoughtful individuals ponder its meaning.

In this story, Huang Feng Sanren is treacherous and vicious, General Zhou Hu is brave and loyal, and Shuang Jiao is the one who turns the tide. Each of the three has their own characteristics. It can be said that Huang Feng Sanren is a classic villain. He and Zhou Hu serve as foils to highlight Shuang Jiao, the protagonist who turns the tide, saves everyone from dire straits, and ultimately sacrifices his own bloodline to kill the demon, avenge the victims, and restore peace to the people.

Of course, a story is a story, and reality is reality.

Not long ago, Huangfeng Valley was attacked and breached by a joint force of cultivation families. Huangfeng Sanren was killed, and the Huangfeng Sect, which had once wreaked havoc on the entire Changfeng County, was destroyed. The atmosphere of the entire Changfeng County changed drastically. However, as some of the inside stories were revealed, many people changed their tune.

This is because although the cultivation families successfully destroyed the Yellow Wind Sect this time, the price they paid was also very heavy. Not only were the foundations of many local families shaken, but even the Xuanjia Army, which was famous in all directions, was buried in the small Yellow Wind Valley.

Such news was truly unbelievable. After all, the reputation of the Xuanjia Army was forged in blood and fire, and countless evil cultivators and demons had fallen under its blades. Now, such a renowned army had been left behind forever in Changfeng County, which truly frightened many people.

When the Xuanjia Army marched south, everyone thought they would crush the Huangfeng Sect with overwhelming force, but no one expected such an outcome. However, this further highlighted the cunning of Huangfeng Sanren and the power of the Frost Dragon.

In no time, the name of Frost Dragon resounded throughout the four southern prefectures, attracting the attention of countless people, and it even gradually earned the title of the number one demon below the Dao Foundation level.

While outsiders were in an uproar over the destruction of the Yellow Wind Sect and the Xuanjia Army, Jiang Chen quietly returned to Muyu Island.

"To this day, the spiritual restlessness has finally subsided."

The feeling of weakness in his body completely dissipated, and Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes. The stronger his spirituality, the greater the boost it would bring him after the revival, but correspondingly, the backlash would also be more intense.

Fortunately, all the hard work paid off.

Looking inward at himself and at the increasingly solidified dragon pearl, Jiang Chen smiled.

Although he hadn't paid any attention to external affairs during this time, he knew from the reaction of the Flood Dragon Pearl that his reputation as the Frost Flood Dragon had truly taken off.

"Given the current situation, even if I do nothing, the spirituality of the Flood Dragon Pearl will soon reach perfection. As a stepping stone, Huang Feng Sanren and the Xuanjia Army are undoubtedly qualified."

"Of course, the Ding family also did a good job this time, doing a great job of pushing things along. If it weren't for their network of connections, my reputation might not have spread so quickly." With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze.

"The Mist Dragon is only a little time away from reaching the perfection of spirituality. In the coming period, it needs to keep a low profile regarding this identity. After the battle in Yellow Wind Valley, the Mist Dragon may have already caught the eye of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, such as the one from the Green Wood family."

"Given the combat power displayed by the Mist Dragon, even if the Aoki family is slow to react, they will have to react. It is unlikely that they will continue to let it go. They will either try to win it over or kill it. But I don't want to gamble. So the best thing to do is to hide the identity of the Mist Dragon for the time being. The Mist Dragon that no one can find is the most dreaded."

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Chen began to plan his next move. The next time the identity of the Mist Dragon would reappear, it would most likely be the time when he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"The road has been set; now it's time to tally up the harvest."

With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Chen retrieved his spoils. These spoils were mainly provided by Huang Feng Sanren and Zhou Hu. He had been busy calming his spiritual agitation and hadn't had a chance to properly count them yet.

"The Thousand-Jin Sand and the Golden Xuan Battle Armor are both excellent top-grade magic weapons, but the most valuable of these spoils is this."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen held a white skeletal skull in his hand.

This white skull was left behind by a tiger demon. Even though it had been dead for a long time and its flesh and blood had long since turned to dust, it was still surrounded by a ferocious tiger's might, which made people shudder.

"After a second-tier tiger demon died, its corpse was buried underground. After a miraculous transformation, its tiger bones changed and turned into evil bones, which contained tiger evil energy and were extremely ferocious."

With his senses expanding, Jiang Chen carefully perceived the profound mysteries of this tiger demon bone.

This Tiger Demon Bone was originally given to Zhou Hu by the Third Prince Chen Jinglang so that Zhou Hu could absorb its demonic energy to cultivate and enhance his combat power. Once Zhou Hu fully mastered the demonic energy within the bone and made it his own, then, combined with military formations, he would truly be unmatched at the Qi Refining level.

With the cooperation of more Xuanjia soldiers, he could unleash even greater power.

"This item is indeed quite valuable. With it, by feeding the dragon with a tiger, I might actually be able to refine the Flood Dragon Armor into a spiritual weapon."

With a thought running through his mind, Jiang Chen came up with a way to use this piece of evil bone.

After searching Zhou Hu's soul, it was found that he had also mastered the secret method of absorbing the tiger's aura. However, the aura of the tiger was harmful to the body. Although this method seemed mysterious and could quickly enhance one's combat power, it would damage one's foundation and reduce the possibility of breaking through to the Dao Foundation. Therefore, it was not taken by him.

In comparison, integrating this piece of evil bone into the Flood Dragon Armor and using the tiger's evil to nourish the dragon's might is a better way to utilize it. Once the Flood Dragon Armor, this natal magic weapon, is successfully upgraded to a spiritual weapon, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Mist Flood Dragon.

"Refining spiritual artifacts is no small feat. Before that, I need to consolidate my skills and further enhance my artifact refining abilities. At the same time, I should also break through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage as soon as possible."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen temporarily put away the evil bone and took out a lot of refining materials to start a new round of refining. Most of these materials were harvested in Changfeng County. For a time, the aura of weapon evil surged within the spirit cave.
