Chapter 27: Easy Tendon and Bone Exchange

  As Hulianuo was shocked by Gong Sunjian's extremely surprised roar, he suddenly felt a very gentle and cool energy slowly flowing through his right hand to his whole body. Wherever this seven-colored energy reached, the originally unbearable pain that tormented Hulianuo instantly disappeared, not only did it stop hurting, but also brought an indescribable refreshing feeling. Slowly, this energy finally moved to Hulianuo's head, slowly driving away the pain, and Hulianuo gradually regained his consciousness. Although he didn't know what had caused him to come back from the dead, he knew that this seven-colored energy was beneficial and harmless to him. For now, he didn't think much about it, and recklessly used his whole body's Xuanlei power to wildly attack the few remaining unmodified tendons.

  The little wolf, who had been holding its breath with bated breath, watched as Helian's hair and skin restored to their original state at a visible speed, finally letting out a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to leave, obediently lying on Helian's knee, quietly staring at his right hand in a daze.

  On Helian's right hand, a very small turtle was quietly lying there, with seven-colored light flashing on its body!

  "Nine Treasures Mystic Turtle, it's really the Nine Treasures Mystic Turtle!!", Gong Sun had completely forgotten about He Lian Nu and didn't even notice that he had escaped his fate of soul dispersal, he was just staring at the seven-colored small turtle, muttering to himself non-stop, with an expression full of incredulity and frenzy.

  His previous adventure had exhausted Helian's entire body, and if it weren't for the seven-colored energy constantly being transmitted into his body, he would have fainted by now. Helian carefully drove the Xuanlei force in his body to merge with the seven-colored light, and then moved this merged energy to the muscles and bones that had not been transformed yet. Indeed, there was no pain this time, and Helian's heart felt a surge of joy, deciding to make a final push to fully master the first transformation of the Tianlang Nine Changes!

  Gongsun Jian finally shifted his gaze away from the little turtle, only to be astonished to discover that Helian Nuo had already regained her vitality. Even the wound on her lower lip had healed silently, without leaving any scars. If not for the dry bloodstains on her cheeks, Gongsun Jian would have almost believed that Helian Nuo had never been injured at all.

  Everyone was unaware that in a hidden corner of the Tianlang Cave, Helian Xiong gazed at Helian Nuo as he escaped the crisis, let out a soft sigh, and slowly turned around to walk outside the cave, facing the starry sky with a string of scorching hot tears!

  Looking at the seven-colored divine light on He Lian's body, Gong Sun Jian couldn't help but exclaim: "Nine Treasures Mystic Turtle, rebirth of new skin, white flesh and bone, reviving the dead, restoring life and soul, indeed its reputation is not in vain!", As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily shifted back to the little turtle, with an even more evident fervor in his gaze.

  As if he had realized something, the small turtle that had been quietly following suddenly lifted its head and looked in Gong Sun's direction for a moment, perhaps not finding anything, it slowly lowered its head again.

  This glance made Gong Sunjeon take a surprise, knowing that he was a spiritual body, could this little turtle really discover the spirit? At this time, he didn't dare to look at the little turtle again and turned his attention to Helianuo instead.

  At this moment, He Lian had already opened up all the meridians in his body, and the Soul Power circulating around him was even more unimpeded. The originally cramped Xuan Lei Soul Power due to the small space now found enough space, slowly filling up the newly opened spaces between the meridians.

  As soon as Helian saw the long, murky breath being spat out, Gong Sun felt a weight lift off his shoulders and hastily asked him how he was feeling at that moment.

  What kind of feeling is it? It just feels like my body has become much lighter, the originally stagnant Xuan Lei is flowing more quickly now, and I can clearly feel that the strength of my tendons and bones has increased by more than one level.

  Gongsun Zhan listened to Helian Nuo's reply and couldn't help but feel more at ease. To Helian Nuo, the power of Xuan Lei within his body was both blood and soul energy. Now that his soul energy was flowing faster, wasn't it a great thing? From now on, as long as he practiced the technique of condensing and absorbing soul energy, he could slowly build up this soul energy. Relying on the trait of having more stored soul energy, Helian Nuo would naturally have an innate advantage when facing enemies.

  Looking at He Lian's complacent appearance, Gong Sun Jian was also happy for him, but he couldn't help but strike back: "Don't be too early to celebrate, you were too adventurous this time, and almost lost your life. If it weren't for the Nine Treasures Xuangu Turtle helping you, I would have had to accompany you in death! You should know that this is just the most basic first transformation, can you handle the next few transformations?"

  Khaleno was silent for a moment, Ah, this is the first change. He himself couldn't bear the pain and lost his rationality, advancing recklessly. What about the following changes? Did he really not have that determination?

  Looking at He Lian's depressed eyes, Gong Sun Zhan knew that he couldn't be too harsh on him, or it would make him lose confidence. What he said was just a reminder not to be too arrogant. Pointing to He Lian's right hand, he slowly said: "You shouldn't belittle yourself either. The Tian Xuan Nine Transformations becoming a divine rank naturally has its reasons. If anyone could cultivate it, how could the preciousness of the divine rank be revealed? Not to mention you, I dare bet that there won't be many people on the mainland who can endure the pain of the Easy Tendon and Bone Transformation. Now that you've passed the first transformation, you should have a mental preparation for the next few transformations. More importantly, you possess the greatest assistance that no one else on the mainland has - the Nine Treasure Xuan Turtle on your hand!" Gong Sun Zhan's tone was clearly tinged with envy, and it was obvious that he also coveted the Nine Treasure Xuan Turtle.

  "Nine Treasures Black Turtle!", when Gong Sunjan first mentioned the Nine Treasures Black Turtle, He Lianuo was deep in thought and didn't notice. Now that it's mentioned again, He Lianuo finally sees that on his right hand is quietly lying the small turtle brought back by Xiao Lang, at this moment the small turtle has restored its original black appearance, unremarkable and lying on He Lianuo's hand, at first glance, it looks just like an ordinary stone.

  Although he had long known that this small turtle, which could only emit a seven-colored mysterious light, must have a great origin, but when he heard from Gong Sunjian's mouth that it was this small turtle who saved his own life at the risk of death, He Lianuo still couldn't believe it. He raised his right hand and took the small turtle in front of his eyes for a closer examination, but still didn't find anything special about it.

  Seeing Hulianuo wake up, the little wolf was overjoyed at first, but when he saw his partner wake up and ignore him completely, he couldn't help but feel a bit angry. Looking again, Hulianuo actually held the little turtle in front of his eyes, constantly examining it, and finally couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction. With a sudden burst of energy, he snatched the little turtle from Hulianuo's hands and let out a low growl as he carefully carried it off in a flash of smoke.

  He Lianuo was startled by the sudden movement of Xiao Lang, and when he reacted, the small turtle in his hand had already disappeared. He Lianuo could only smile helplessly, as for this little brother of his, He Lianuo had always been at a loss.

  Watching the little turtle being snatched away by the little wolf, Gong Sunjian didn't feel surprised, but instead had a deep feeling as he said to Helian Nuo: "It's true that your life was saved by the little turtle, but the little turtle was placed in your hands because the little wolf saw that you were at death's door. During your cultivation, this little wolf has been guarding you all along, truly having both affection and righteousness!"

  He Lian Nu's heart ached as he finally understood the reason behind Xiao Lang's disappointed howl before he left. He thought about how Xiao Lang had saved his life with the small turtle and had stayed by his side without leaving, yet when he woke up, he didn't show any appreciation or even acknowledge Xiao Lang's presence. To think that Xiao Lang was like a brother to him, and although they didn't expect anything in return from each other, being ignored was still unbearable. For soul beasts, or even low-intelligence pets, what mattered most wasn't the luxurious homes or delicious food their owners provided, but attention - attention like a friend would give. Just like how children always want to show off in front of adults, they didn't seek rewards, just hoping their parents would look at them a few more times, which was enough.

  Thinking of this, Helianuo secretly decided that after he fully recovered his physical strength, he must find Xiao Lang and apologize to his brother.

  It was as if to break the awkward atmosphere, Gong Sun let out a detailed introduction of the Nine Treasures Xuanyu Turtle's origin without waiting for Helian No to ask: "In ancient times, the strongest powers on the human side were the four great sacred tribes led by your Helian family, while on the soul beast side, it was the four great sacred tribes including the Tianlang tribe. These forces all relied on their absolute strength to gain their lofty positions. However, aside from these eight great powers, there were still a few forces that no one dared to underestimate! Let's not mention our human side for now, and just talk about the soul beast side. There was an extremely mysterious force that even the four great sacred tribes didn't dare to offend!"

  Although he felt a bit depressed, He Lianuo was still interested in Gong Sun's words. Seeing that the old man had stopped again, he knew that he was going to sell his skills again. Although he was reluctant to be teased every time, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this force so powerful because they have enough power to rival the four major soul beasts' holy tribes?"

  Gongsun Yan saw He Lianuo indeed fall for it, and couldn't help but smile smugly. It's no wonder he was so confident - apart from him, Gongsun Yan, probably nobody else knew these secrets.

  After clearing his throat, Gong Sun continued: "No, this force can be said to have zero aggression, and even the number of people is minimal. But it's just such a power that won't pose a threat to anyone, yet dares to openly challenge the patriarchs of the four major holy families. Even in the entire Soul Beast Realm, there isn't a single force that dares to provoke them, because provoking them means being an enemy of all soul beasts! This existence that transcends the soul beast realm is the Nine-Treasured Mystic Turtle!"

  He Lian Nu was shocked by the words, to know that the entire Soul Beast Realm's combined strength would be difficult for all of humanity to resist, could it be that the small turtle Xiao Lang had brought back was actually the Nine Treasures Xuanyuan Turtle, the super soul beast that Gong Sun Yan had mentioned, which no one dared to provoke?
