Chapter 141: Spirit Martial Artists and Spirit Marrow Currency (1)

“Second-grade Spirit Marrow?” A hint of realization appeared in Wu Qinglei’s eyes. “Could it be that… you want to walk the path of Spirit Marrow?”

...

This time, it was Lin Yan’s turn to be confused, but his expression was calm. He didn’t say anything and pretended that the guess was correct.

Wu Qinglei shook his head. “The Dao of Spirit Marrow is indeed the path of martial arts that improves the fastest and is the strongest.

“Actually, in the prefecture capital, martial artists in the Dao of Spirit Marrow often have noble statuses and are powerful. They arc respectfully called Spirit Martial Artists.

“But I still advise you to give up as soon as possible. You came from the lower city and don’t have a huge family fortune, or the support of the huge forces behind Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang. At most, you can reach the hurdle of the second-grade Spirit Marrow. You’ll waste your energy and wealth for nothing.”

Lin Yan was even more puzzled. Why was the second-grade Spirit Marrow another hurdle?

Seeing his blank expression, Wu Qinglei said, “So you’re just hearing rumors. Forget it. Anyway, Ding’an City has been freed. I’ll talk to you a little more.

“As long as a mysterious Unusual Item like the Spirit Marrow is buried in the body, it can modify the body’s aptitude and increase one’s strength without any bottlenecks.

“Of course, there’s a limit to this improvement. It’s determined by the quality of the Spirit Marrow.

“The lowest grade is the ungraded Spirit Marrow, which corresponds to the Strength Realm.

“First-grade Spirit Marrow corresponds to the Tough Realm.

“Second-grade Spirit Marrow corresponds to the Noble Realm.

“In other words, once you bury the second-grade Spirit Marrow in you, you can grow and break through to the Noble Realm without any bottlenecks in an extremely short period of time.

“However, if you want to break through faster, you have to embed higher-grade Spirit Marrow and so on.”

Lin Yan’s eyes were filled with shock. A Spirit Marrow could naturally allow him to break through to the Noble Realm without Unusual Items or any conditions?!

“No side effects?”

“From what I’ve seen so far, it only has one side effect.”

“What?”

“One word, expensive!”

“Expensive?” Lin Yan recalled the price of a second-grade Spirit Marrow. Five Small Merits for one. “Compared to the Force Feature, it’s not expensive, right?”

Wu Qinglei replied, “Spirit Marrow is not expensive. The expensive ones are precious Spirit Transformation Fruits!”

“The Spirit Marrow contains Spirit Poison. This is not a real poison, but an invading external spiritual matter. It has to be neutralized with precious spirit transformation items like the Spirit Transformation Fruit before it can be used.”

Spirit Transformation Fruit!

The last item on the exchange list was the Spirit Transformation Fruit. It was extremely expensive and was comparable to a Force Feature Unusual Item.

Lin Yan couldn’t help but recall that on the mural he had seen back then, those monks were boiling the Spirit Marrow to make soup. Could it be that they were also the so-called Spirit Transformation?

“There’s not much Spirit Poison in the ungraded Spirit Marrow. One can obliterate the Spirit Poison through one’s own spirit essence.

“First-grade Spirit Marrow requires some simple spirit transformation items, but the price is still reasonable.

“Above the second-grade Spirit Marrow, you have to use precious items like the Spirit Transformation Fruit, and some special formula and precious medicine. They can only be harmonized by specialized Spirit Transformation Masters.

“Otherwise, if the spiritual essence invades, you’ll go crazy even if you don’t die.”

It turned out to be like this…

Lin Yan did not expect there to be so many restrictions on the use of the Spirit Marrow.

Fortunately, he did not bury the Spirit Marrow in his body at that time.

Still…

He suddenly recalled that the Golden Bodhi Scripture absorbed the external spiritual matter in the Spirit Marrow every time. It must have completely obliterated all the Spirit Poison in it!

Wasn’t this the most thorough spirit transformation?

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Lin Yan hurriedly calmed his breathing. “I just didn’t expect there to be so many tricks… Will this Spirit Transformation item harmonize and transform all the spirit matter in the Spirit Marrow?”

“Of course not. This is harmonization, not erasing the spiritual essence. If all the spiritual essence is melted, how can you improve your aptitude?”

Lin Yan was slightly disappointed. It seemed that this Spirit Transformation was different from the Golden Bodhi Scripture absorbing external spiritual matters.

“Alright, after hearing so much, do you still want to exchange for Spirit Marrow?”

Lin Yan nodded and said, “Deputy Issuer, please fulfill my wish.”

“Alright, alright. You won’t turn back until you hit the wall…”

Wu Qinglei led Lin Yan to Liu Lanqing again.

“What? You want to exchange for the Spirit Marrow and not the feature secret manual?”

“Issuer Liu, please fulfill my wish.”

Liu Lanqing looked at Wu Qinglei and saw his helpless expression. She reached out and took out a bone Spirit Marrow the size of a pigeon egg. She handed it to Lin Yan. “Everyone has their own choice. You can leave.”

When Lin Yan saw this Spirit Marrow, a glint flashed across his eyes. Second-grade Spirit Marrow was so big?

From the looks of it, the Spirit Marrow he obtained from Gan Yang back then was an ungraded one.

The Spirit Marrow he obtained from Li Qu and the Corpse Buddha Cockroach was first-grade.

As for the second-grade Spirit Marrow, it was more than twice the size of the first-grade Spirit Marrow. It definitely contained a lot of external spiritual matter!

After he received the second-grade Spirit Marrow, the frequency of the Golden Bodhi Scripture in his mind indicated that the spiritual essence in this Spirit Marrow was definitely more than twice that of the first-grade Spirit Marrow.

Lin Yan gritted his teeth and took the risk. “Issuer Liu, can I… exchange for a few more Spirit Marrows?”

Wu Qinglei was about to speak when Liu Lanqing stopped him with a look.

She looked back at Lin Yan. Although she didn’t show it on her face, the scrutiny in her eyes couldn’t be concealed.

However, she did not ask further and said directly, “How many do you want to exchange for?”

Lin Yan originally wanted to exchange all, but after thinking about it, he still had to leave some merits that could be exchanged for martial arts cultivation techniques. He said, “I still need six more.”

Five Small Merits for one. Including the one just now, there were a total of seven. Added together, it was three and a half Great Merits. There was still one Great Merit left.

Liu Lanqing couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She took out six different-shaped Spirit Marrows of similar size from her sleeve and handed them to Lin Yan.. “You can leave!”
