Chapter 68 - 64: A Great Harvest! Barbarian Bone! Barbarian Blood Technique! Map!

There’s also a shield—it’s a Defensive Magical Artifact. As long as you channel Magical Power into it, a blue radiance appears, igniting the shield’s mighty defensive force.

"What kind of bone is this? It’s enormous!"

Lin Chang’sheng gazed at the last item, curiosity sparkling in his eyes.

This bone club was crystal clear, almost like jade, warm to the touch, a full ten feet long. It resembled a human rib, but if it really was a human rib, then its owner must have been a giant during their lifetime!

"It’s so hard... I wonder if I can refine it into a Magical Artifact in the future?"

Lin Chang’sheng tapped the bone club; it rang out with a metallic clang.

Thinking about this, he extended his Divine Sense, wrapping it around the bone club, trying to check whether the inside was hollow. A solid one would be much better for refining Magical Artifacts.

Buzz!

Suddenly.

Lin Chang’sheng saw, right before his eyes, an endless, sprawling mountain range!

A giant, taller than the mountains themselves, strode across them!

The giant’s long hair whipped about, his body unbelievably strong, radiating a primal ancient aura. With every step, the land shook, clouds of dust rising!

With one hand, he snatched up a hundred-foot-long demon serpent and ripped it apart, digging out its Inner Core and tossing it straight into his mouth!

Next, he grabbed a massive Profound Turtle whose shell was covered in trees, cracked the turtle shell open, and scooped out its Inner Core, swallowing it whole!

Lin Chang’sheng faintly saw that on the giant’s body, tiny starlights flickered, connecting into a looping line—gone in a flash.

"Ah! This is..."

Gazing at the scene before him, Lin Chang’sheng was utterly shaken, his Divine Sense suddenly withdrawing, causing the vision to vanish.

The bone club—it was still the same as before, completely unchanged!

"That image inside the bone club actually had a shadow of a giant! On the giant’s body, those starlights formed a line—was that a diagram of the meridian flows?!"

Staring at the bone club, Lin Chang’sheng pondered for a while. He decided to check again!

At once, he wrapped it again with his Divine Sense.

Just like last time, he saw the giant once again ripping apart the serpent and subduing the Profound Turtle. But this time, there was no meridian flow diagram on the giant. He withdrew his Divine Sense again.

Lin Chang’sheng contemplated briefly.

He entered with his Divine Sense ten more times.

Each time, he saw the giant, the scene repeating over and over. The final time, he glimpsed the meridian flow diagram again, but it was even fainter than before—almost impossible to notice.

"Is this bone club something like a recording artifact?"

Lin Chang’sheng turned the bone club over in his hands, looking thoughtful.

"Huh? What’s this..."

Suddenly, Lin Chang’sheng stared at his panel, surprised. On it, a new Cultivation Technique had appeared.

[Barbarian Blood Technique. Fragment (Six Transformations) (First Transformation 0/1000)]

At the same time, a rush of information poured into Lin Chang’sheng’s Sea of Consciousness, instantly merging with his own awareness.

It was the cultivation method of Barbarian Blood Technique. Fragment (Six Transformations).

"Barbarian Blood Technique. Fragment—could it be that those two flashes of a meridian diagram were detected by the panel?"

Lin Chang’sheng stared at the panel’s Barbarian Blood Technique. Fragment, a look of surprise in his eyes.

This really was an unexpected windfall!

According to the Barbarian Blood Technique’s description, the complete version has nine transformations. It’s the Barbarian Race’s fundamental Body Refinement cultivation; if you reach Nine Transformations Perfection, your body could be thirty feet tall, your flesh and bones so powerful you could withstand a cultivator’s Magical Artifacts directly!

If you obtained even greater Barbarian Race cultivation methods and trained them to the limit, you’d become like the giant in the bone club—a thousand-foot body, able to tear hundred-foot demon serpents apart and subdue millenia-old Profound Turtles without breaking a sweat!

[Detected Barbarian Race basic technique: Barbarian Blood Technique. Fragment (Six Transformations). Do you want to consume 1 Spirit Stone to Simplify it?]

Right then, a red prompt popped up on Lin Chang’sheng’s panel.

"Simplify!"

Seeing the panel’s prompt, Lin Chang’sheng immediately hit Confirm.

Based on the Barbarian Blood Technique’s profile, if you master it, it’s thousands of times more powerful than Golden Bell Shield’s Twelve Gates. Of course I have to Simplify it!

As a cultivator, if your physical body is tough, it’s a huge advantage in both staying alive and in combat!

[Great Dao is Simple: Barbarian Blood Technique. Fragment (Six Transformations) is being Simplified... Simplification complete... Barbarian Blood Technique. Fragment (Six Transformations) = Drink broth to nourish your blood and qi]

Lin Chang’sheng had barely hit Confirm before the panel popped up with another red notification.

"Drink broth to nourish blood and qi?"

Seeing the Simplified result, Lin Chang’sheng muttered to himself. "Am I going to have to drink broth every day from now on?"

Actually—

As a cultivator, the deeper your Cultivation, the easier fasting becomes.

Drinking broth isn’t hard at all.

I’ll just go out, slay some Demon Beasts, simmer broth every day, or maybe refine a Great Nourishing Elixir and see if that works?

"This Barbarian Blood Technique says ’Fragment’, only the first six transformations—could the last three be hidden in other bones?"

Lin Chang’sheng held the bone club, preparing to stash it away.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

Maybe the Barbarian ancestors stored their cultivation inheritance by branding it into their bones and flesh. What I obtained isn’t a whole skeleton, just a single bone—so only six transformations, incomplete. If I can find the full set of bones, wouldn’t I get the complete Nine Transformations of the Barbarian Blood Technique?

"This bone club came from that horse-faced cultivator—he acted on behalf of the Southern Barbarians, so maybe the club was obtained in the southern region!"

"Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to the south!"

With that thought, Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes lit up.

This Barbarian Blood Technique Nine Transformations—I’ve got to get my hands on it!

"Chang’sheng, the map—I’ve finished drawing it. Take a look!"

Just then, a sweet and lively voice rang out from beyond the hall. As she spoke, a beautiful woman in palace robes walked slowly in—it was Yu Wenjing, and in her hands she held a scroll.
