Chapter Fifty-Three White Flesh and Raw Bones

  Flying Dragon Peak

  A young man sat cross-legged under the waterfall, floating on the surface of the water, allowing the turbulent flow to hit his body, and a faint blue light emanated from all over his body.

  After a long time, the boy opened his eyes.

  "Who would have thought such a thing could happen!"

  Chu Yan was slightly shocked in his heart, since the breakthrough of the first layer of "Lianyan Jue", it has been difficult to make any progress, but since he condensed this strand of fire attribute spiritual power, Chu Yan found that his cultivation speed of "Xuanzhong Shui Jue" had increased significantly, which was beyond his expectation.

  Chu Yan was puzzled and heard that practicing different attribute skills would affect each other's cultivation speed, but he found the opposite to be true for himself.

  "Oh oh oh!"

  A large black chicken emerged from the water with a double-tailed fire fish in its beak, and with a flick of its neck, the fish was thrown onto the shore. The big black chicken cried out to Chu Yan, expressing its discontent.

  "Alright, you greedy chicken, I'll get it for you right away!"

  Chu Yan laughed and scolded.

  The familiar road set up a barbecue rack, and after a while, the fragrance of fish wafted through the air.

  Chu Yan picked up a roasted fish and handed it over, "Here!"

  The big black chicken held down the roasted fish with its two agile wings and sent it into its mouth.

  Just then, a figure flashed by.

  "Oh!"

  The big black chicken found that the roasted fish stuck in its wings had flown away and cried out in some annoyance.

  Chu Yan had already sensed something was off, and as expected, a lazy voice sounded in his ear:

  "Haha, great job on grilling the fish, it's delicious! Yum, yum!"

  Chu Yan looked back with the sound, and didn't know when a dirty old beggar appeared on the big tree behind him, holding a roasted fish in his hands and gnawing excitedly.

  "As long as seniors like it!"

  Chu Yan didn't say much, but this time he was clever and roasted three fish together.

  The old beggar quickly finished the first one, and Chuyan handed him another one. He and Dahei chicken also started eating.

  "Not bad, not bad, today I had a good meal again. As an old man, I should show some appreciation for eating your food for free. Take this thing and use it wherever you itch, haha!"

  The old beggar threw down a small black bottle and disappeared into the forest with a leap.

  Chu Yan picked up the small black bottle from the ground, a thoughtful expression on his face.

  "Where is it itching?"

  The old beggar's words made Chu Yan somewhat puzzled, and he subconsciously felt that there must be a great secret in this small, unassuming bottle.

  Chu Yan opened the small black bottle, and a pungent smell immediately emanated from it.

  "What is this thing?"

  Chu Yan has already begun to suspect that this old man is playing tricks on him.

  However, Chu Yan suddenly came to a realization and thought he might as well take a look at what this thing was capable of. If it was just the old man playing tricks on him, then he'd let him go play with his own roasted fish from now on!

  Chu Yan poured a drop from the small black bottle onto his right hand.

  It was as black as ink, and as soon as it dripped onto Chu Yan's hand, it instantly dispersed and penetrated into the skin in an instant.

  "Is this old man really giving me a bottle of calamine lotion? Ah..."

  Chu Yan felt no change in his body and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. However, the next moment, an unbearable pain shot up from his right hand, like cutting flesh and scraping bone. Chu Yan grasped his right arm with his left hand and fell forward, cold sweat dripping down.

  This intense pain lasted for about half a minute before disappearing completely.

  Chu Yan supported his exhausted body and got up from the ground. When he saw his right hand, he was suddenly shocked:

  "This!"

  A piece of white bony fragment the size of a fingernail floated on the back of his hand, and Chu Yan could feel that this bony fragment was growing out of his own skeleton.

  This bizarre scene left Chu Yan somewhat at a loss, bones growing out of his body, this was unheard of and had exceeded Chu Yan's acceptable range.

  "If this is seen by others, I will have no choice but to be considered a freak!"

  Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat as he didn't expect the white bone fragment to drill back into his hand, with no marks on the surface of his wrist.

  Just as Chu Yan was still in shock, suddenly, the blood bead's light flashed in the sea of consciousness, and Zhang Jue's voice echoed in Chu Yan's mind.

  "Boss, we've found something good!"

  "I'm at Eastern Waterfall!"

  After a moment, all three of them came flying with joyful faces.

  "What's good?"

  "A treasure map! No, to be exact, a treasure map!"

  Zhang Jiaolong and two others handed a slightly yellowed blueprint into Chu Yan's hands.

  According to what the three people said, this map was found in Zhao Lao's savings pouch.

  "Doesn't anyone else know about this?"

  "Absolutely none, boss! My brothers and I will find the first one and come tell you immediately!"

  "Alright, don't let this matter get out! If I find treasure in the future, Chu Yan won't treat you unfairly!"

  Zhang Jie and the other two bid farewell, Chu Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of fervor, a cultivator's hidden treasure map, this was no small matter.
