"As for the fourth spirit ability..."
After examining the spirit ability granted by his fourth spirit ring, Lin Rong froze for a moment.
Fourth Spirit Ability: Dragon's Roar Thunder Realm.
Upon activation, it deploys a thunderous barrier. Unless Lin Rong permits it, or the barrier is broken, no one can enter or exit freely.
Once deployed, the barrier can absorb ambient elemental energy to sustain itself, no longer consuming Lin Rong's own Soul Power.
Furthermore, while Lin Rong is within the barrier, his Soul Power increases by 100%, his lightning elemental power by 200%, his speed by 100%, and the Dragon Might effect of his Martial Soul doubles.
In addition, the fourth spirit ring also granted Lin Rong a passive effect: Lightning Elemental Control!
It was equivalent to having an elemental Martial Soul that couldn't have spirit rings added.
"Even Kongqing Bamboo couldn't grant me control over the space element, yet I never expected Thunderclap Nether Vine to bestow the ability of lightning elemental control."
"It seems that no matter how extraordinary Kongqing Bamboo's origins are, it still can't compare to Thunderclap Nether Vine, which possesses the Thunder God Bloodline."
Lin Rong raised his palm, and a miniature young dragon made of blue lightning swam on his palm.
"However, while the fourth spirit ability granted by Thunderclap Nether Vine is good, it's still a supportive buffing spirit ability, not the explosive output ability I desire."
"Fortunately, Thunderclap Nether Vine also dropped a spirit bone. I hope this spirit bone can provide me with a sufficiently powerful output ability."
Saying this, Lin Rong took out the deep blue, translucent left leg bone from his Dragon Pattern Jade Bead.
"Before obtaining Lightning Elemental Control, it would have been quite troublesome to have this spirit bone absorb lightning power to increase its age."
"But with Lightning Elemental Control now, I can generate lightning power myself for the spirit bone to absorb, allowing this spirit bone, like my other two spirit bones, to be in a state of evolution at all times."
"Speaking of which, spirit bones truly live up to their reputation as products of heavenly laws."
"Even though everyone's bone structure is different in size, after absorption, they perfectly fit one's own skeletal structure."
"Not only that, but once absorbed spirit bones are removed, regardless of who absorbs them, they revert to their original size."
Lin Rong looked at the left leg bone dropped by Thunderclap Nether Vine in his hand. Its size was almost the same as that of an adult.
It wasn't just this one.
The two complete spirit bones from Kongqing Bamboo and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng were also the size of adult human bones.
Even the three Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones from the family inheritance, though incomplete, had spirit bones corresponding to the bone positions that were similar in size.
Generally speaking.
The higher the age of a spirit bone, the higher its completeness.
When a spirit bone's age exceeded fifty thousand years, its completeness would be close to perfect.
But it was only close, not truly flawless. Only Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bones were perfect and immaculate existences.
However, there were always exceptions.
For example, Kongqing Bamboo, with its mysterious and extraordinary origins, and Thunderclap Nether Vine, possessing the Thunder God Bloodline...
"Thunder God Bloodline, spirit bones as products of heavenly laws, I wonder if the bloodline contained within Thunderclap Nether Vine can be refined into a spirit bone."
Lin Rong held the spirit bone in both hands, his mind filled with speculation:
"The fundamental reason why Thunderclap Nether Vine can absorb lightning power to increase its cultivation is the Thunder God Bloodline it contains."
"And since this spirit bone inherited Thunderclap Nether Vine's ability to absorb lightning power to enhance itself, it's not surprising that the spirit bone contains the Thunder God Bloodline."
Upon thinking this, Lin Rong hesitated for a moment but soon made up his mind.
The Four Realms of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture:
Mind Empty, Body Transforms Itself; Perfect Wisdom and Self-Awareness; Manifestation and Salvation of All Beings; Finger Flicking Transcendence of Beginninglessness.
Lin Rong had already successfully cultivated the first two realms.
With the protection of the first two realms of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, even if the spirit bone contained the Thunder God Bloodline, under the refinement of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, that trace of diluted Thunder God Bloodline should not be able to contaminate the purity of his own bloodline.
In fact, he could even use the Marrow Cleansing Scripture to refine that trace of diluted Thunder God Bloodline in reverse.
Having made up his mind, Lin Rong stopped thinking further. He circulated the Marrow Cleansing Scripture to regulate his breathing for a while before beginning to absorb the spirit bone.
During the absorption process, Lin Rong fully activated the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, not daring to slacken even slightly, carefully refining every wisp of energy contained within the spirit bone.
Within his Mind Mirror, everything was displayed with utmost clarity.
"Are these the Thunder God Bloodline?"
Lin Rong clearly saw that among the energy contained within the spirit bone, there were wisps of pale blue liquid.
These liquids seemed to possess life, brimming with vitality.
The moment they entered his body along with the spirit bone's energy, they attempted to merge with his own bloodline.
But Lin Rong gave them no chance. The Soul Power cultivated by the Marrow Cleansing Scripture quickly enveloped these liquids without a single gap.
Although the Thunder God Bloodline resisted during this process, its divine power was limited due to its extreme dilution.
Furthermore, the Soul Power cultivated by the Marrow Cleansing Scripture was quite profound, firmly imprisoning the Thunder God Bloodline within.
Subsequently, the Soul Power, enveloping these liquids, circulated through his meridians, gradually purifying the "impurities" contained within the Thunder God Bloodline.
The threat from the Thunder God Bloodline was gone, and the process of absorbing the spirit bone proceeded without any further incident.
Lin Rong had already absorbed the spirit ring of the Thunderclap Nether Vine, so absorbing its spirit bone now was like a fish taking to water.
However, to ensure that no residual Thunder God Bloodline remained within the spirit bone, Lin Rong himself consciously slowed down the absorption process.
He strived for a steady and methodical approach, leaving no room for error.
Time slowly passed.
Lin Rong had finished absorbing the energy contained within the spirit bone, meaning it had completely fused with him.
At this point, the only thing left to be fully refined was the Thunder God Bloodline circulating within his meridians.
The Thunder God Bloodline completed another cycle through his meridians.
Enveloped by the light cyan soul power, the Thunder God Bloodline finally had its last "impurity" cleansed.
The originally light blue liquid lost its hue after the "impurity" was removed, becoming colorless and transparent like clear water.
Only then did Lin Rong confidently begin to absorb the refined Thunder God Bloodline.
The refined bloodline silently merged into Lin Rong's flesh and blood, the divine substances within it subtly nourishing his physical body.
Before long, the absorption of the bloodline was complete.
Lin Rong opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time. His entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
This change was very subtle, and others naturally wouldn't notice it, but the old housekeeper, who had watched Lin Rong grow up, immediately did.
"Young master, you are..."
Seeing the old housekeeper looking at him with concern, Lin Rong took his hand and said:
"Grandpa Yu, I'm fine."
"I've absorbed a bit of divine bloodline, so some subtle changes are normal. You don't need to worry."
