Chapter 1169: Adding to the Fun! (Bonus Chapter)
At this moment, everyone in the room stared at Jiangnan with wide eyes.
What the heck?
Such a Spirit Muscle Jade Bone was already incredibly insane, and it wasn't even the final version?
Even Jiangnan was curious about what effect maxing out Spirit Muscle Jade Bone would have.
[Confirm adding skill points: Ten million points!]
[Skill upgrade! Spirit Art • Spirit Muscle Jade Bone (Grandmaster Level): MAX!]
More knowledge flooded into Jiangnan's mind.
This wave had almost used up most of the skill points Jiangnan had saved up.
Only about three million or so remained.
However, Jiangnan's expression also turned strange.
(๑•̌~•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Luo Jiaoyang was so excited his face turned red.
-`(›͡ಠㅂ͡ಠ‹)´- "What's the effect of the final version?"
Jiangnan said seriously, (･᷅◠･᷄) "If you train it to the strongest, you'll get bone spurs."
As soon as he said that, the whole room petrified. Even Mountain Cat was stunned.
Bone spurs?
Are you sure this is really the final version?
It doesn't seem much better than bone cancer, does it?
Luo Jiaoyang coughed lightly: -`(›︶ก︶‹)´- "Maybe we shouldn't casually practice this final version, huh?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. "It's controllable bone spurs!"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and suddenly clenched his fist.
Instantly, the skin and flesh on his knuckles split open, and jade-like bone spurs grew out.
The bone texture was warm and smooth like jade, as white as Hetian jade.
Then three bone claws shot out from his fist socket, even dripping with fresh blood.
Just one look made people's scalps tingle, like Wolverine's claws.
Everyone nearly spit out a mouthful of old blood.
You call this bone spurs?
Training Spirit Muscle Jade Bone to the strongest allows you to freely control your own bone growth?
Isn't that too insane?
Luo Yuhui swallowed his saliva: "Can these bones be used for combat?"
Jiangnan raised his hand and extended a bone blade over a meter long from his palm.
He casually swiped it across the steel plate on the floor. Sparks flew, and the steel plate was cut open like tofu.
Everyone gasped in shock. If this was used in battle,
the body itself would be your strongest weapon. Wasn't this perfect for the Luo family's strength system?
Jiangnan retracted the bone blade. "Hardness should be much higher than ordinary spirit materials, but if your self-healing ability isn't good, I don't recommend playing like this."
"After all, when bones stick out, they have to pierce through skin and flesh."
But within a few breaths, the wound on Jiangnan's hand had already healed.
With the Vine Art in his body, such minor injuries meant nothing to Jiangnan.
Moreover, the cool energy in his body was used up. According to the MAX version's training method, his physical fitness could still increase a bit.
He'll go soak in Dali when he gets back.
At this moment, Jiangnan was a little excited, wondering if with his current physical condition, he could use Blood Incineration.
But he still didn't dare try it recklessly. After all, if he died, no one would save him.
Right now, Luo Jiaoyang and the others were showing the eyes of hungry wolves, looking at Jiangnan like he was a god.
˚*̥(∗*⁰͈﹃⁰͈)*̥
No one doubted Jiangnan's ability anymore.
"This! We want to learn it!"
Jiangnan grinned.
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Fine! But you can't confine Sister Shanmiao anymore."
Luo Yuhui said excitedly, "Whatever you say, we'll listen to you!"
The complete version of Spirit Muscle Jade Bone was enough to elevate the Luo family's combat power to a terrifying level!
Luo Tianqing was also thrilled. Could she finally stop having her car blow out tires and get rid of the heavyweight label?
٩(*´꒳`*)۶ Yay~
Beside her, Mountain Cat looked at Jiangnan's back, the warmth in her heart enough to melt everything.
(๑ơ◡ơ)
According to the agreement, Jiangnan taught the Luo family the complete cultivation method of Spirit Muscle Jade Bone.
Old Master Luo sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate immediately.
Luo Yuhui said excitedly, "Look at how well I handled this? I'll go prepare right away. Tonight, you and I will have a good drink!"
With that, he went off to prepare. The entire Luo family was unusually excited because of the completion of Spirit Muscle Jade Bone.
By evening,
the banquet hall was filled with Luo family members, and the dining table was laden with fine wine and delicacies.
Jiangnan was pulled to sit at the head of the table. Mountain Cat sat beside Jiangnan.
Luo Yuhui raised his glass. "Now that things have come to this and the agreement is fulfilled, the Luo family has nothing left to hide."
"We've also contributed Spirit Muscle Jade Bone. Now that Huaxia is developing rapidly, the Chen family over in the Western Frontier is doing quite well."
"Look at our Luo family..."
Jiangnan grinned. "To be honest with you, Uncle, during the Western Frontier incident, the Chen family also contributed a lot."
"No matter what, at the beginning of spiritual energy recovery, the fact that the noble families did nothing is an established fact."
"What Huaxia needs is someone to offer fuel in snowy weather, not to add flowers to brocade. You should understand that, Uncle."
"The opportunity isn't absent, but it still depends on the Luo family's subsequent performance. Whether you can board the train is up to you."
Luo Yuhui was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
(◞･᷅ᗜ･᷄) "I understand! Come on! Drink one, it's all in the wine!"
Jiangnan naturally drank it all in one gulp. He didn't pretend; he really did drink a whole glass of Maotai into his stomach.
Luo Yuhui sat down with a smile, but secretly kicked Yunjin.
Yunjin then stood up.
(*⁰̷̴͈ㅂ⁰̷̴͈) "Xiao Nan, our girl has been out there for so many years. Thanks to your care, let me toast you, Auntie."
Beside her, Luo Tianqing nimbly refilled Jiangnan's glass.
Jiangnan quickly stood up, looking shy.
୧(ૢ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "Auntie, you're too kind. It's Sister Shanmiao who takes care of me."
Then he drank again.
While Jiangnan was drinking, Yunjin quickly signaled to Luo Tianqing.
Before Jiangnan could sit down, Luo Tianqing stood up again.
ᥬ(๑ᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌) "The cooperation at the Ant Nest Maze was great! Come on, your mentor toasts you too!"
Jiangnan also clinked glasses with Luo Tianqing.
After three glasses of baijiu, Jiangnan's face flushed slightly.
Actually, Jiangnan had terrible tolerance for alcohol. He usually didn't drink, and when he did, he cheated by using Space Wormhole.
But today, these were all Sister Shanmiao's elders. How could Jiangnan be embarrassed not to drink?
Jiangnan hadn't even warmed his seat when Luo Changge's father, Luo Lao'er, stood up.
٩(ˊᗜˋ*) "Haha! In the future, please take good care of my eldest son. Come on, let's have another drink, you and me!"
Jiangnan looked at him. Damn? They're going to toast me one by one?
With this big table of Luo family members, if they toasted him one by one, he'd probably be so drunk he wouldn't know north from south.
Jiangnan smelled a conspiracy.
In that case, don't blame me for getting clever, ha!
But Mountain Cat wouldn't let it slide. She quickly stood up.
(◦`~´◦) "Second Uncle, what are you doing? He's already had three glasses in a row, and you're still toasting?"
Luo Lao'er roared with laughter. "What, Xiao Hong? Feeling sorry for him? Do you want to drink for him?"
Mountain Cat's pretty face flushed: (⑉Ծ~Ծ⑉) "Drink for him, then!"
With that, she was about to drink. Jiangnan quickly stopped her. "No need, Sister Shanmiao. I..."
But Mountain Cat pressed Jiangnan's hand down and downed the wine.
Luo Yuhui and Yunjin quietly gave Luo Lao'er a thumbs-up.
☚(◞ิ◡◟ิ)☚(΄◞ิ.̮◟ิ‵)
They knew their own daughter well. One glass down, and she'd be done for!
All that was left was to get Jiangnan drunk. Hehehe~
As the saying goes, after drinking, comes lust...
Then when the rice is cooked, everything will be theirs!
Only Mountain Cat's face was tinged with a drunken blush. She rubbed her eyes and continued to pick food for Jiangnan.
⋌(⁼̴~ก̀๐) "You haven't eaten anything yet. Have some food first to cushion your stomach."
Jiangnan smiled. "Whatever you say."
But at the banquet, the Luo family brothers wanted to continue the battle. Just then, a "rumble rumble" sound came.
Luo Jiaoyang came crawling in, his face full of anxiety.
"Dad? Why are you here?"
Luo Jiaoyang said urgently.
-`(›ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆‹)´- "Little friend! It's no good. The tempering of Spirit Muscle Jade Bone has some effect; my bones are turning jade-like."
"But the speed is too slow. At this rate, by the time I finish training, I'll be crushed to death!"
"How did you master it so quickly? Can you give it a try?"
Everyone became nervous. The old man couldn't die!
The dizzy Jiangnan rested his chin in thought.
(꒪ͦก꒪ͦ๑) "That really is a problem. I only mastered it quickly because I soaked in Dali and accumulated a lot of cool energy."
"But given your situation, Old Master, you obviously don't have the time to accumulate it slowly."
"We'll have to take a risk. I've got an idea!"
Jiangnan snapped his fingers, his eyes lighting up.
Luo Jiaoyang looked at him expectantly. "What idea? As long as I can master it, I'll do anything!"
Jiangnan took a truck-sized black square spirit material out of his Alternate Dimension.
He pulled out his Blood-Drinking Halberd and started shaving it wildly.
In no time, he carved it into the shape of a three-legged cauldron, then filled it with Dali 2.0.
While everyone was wondering what Jiangnan was up to,
Jiangnan waved his hand.
(ᵒ̌口ᵒ̌O)ﾉ "Go get people, light the fire!"
"Bring gas canisters, cutting torches, and all that over here. Get a few fire-type ability users too. Start the pot and boil the water!"
"Grandpa Luo! Go! Get into the pot!"
Luo Jiaoyang: -`(›•̌口•̑‹)´- "Huh?"
Not only was the old man dumbfounded, but even Luo Yuhui was bewildered.
"You mean to boil my dad in the pot?"
What the hell?
Got drunk on the alcohol?
Boil the grandfather to add to the fun?
Is this filial piety?
Jiangnan said seriously, "What do you know? It's the same principle as stewing a big goose in an iron pot!"
"Dali is the broth. If you don't boil the water, how can the goose absorb the flavor?"
"Heating will stimulate the energy in the Dali water, accelerating its entry into the body. Right now, Old Master lacks time the most."
Everyone listened. That seemed to make some sense.
Luo Jiaoyang twitched the corner of his mouth. "Is a goose the same as a human, dammit?"
"Are you sure this will work?"
Jiangnan nodded seriously: (๑•̀～•́)و "In ancient times, there was medicinal bathing. Isn't this the same principle?"
"Besides, you're a Dao Heaven. You can even swim in lava. Boiling is nothing."
"I know Dali best! I also deduced Spirit Muscle Jade Bone. I have the most say! No one knows the cultivation method of Spirit Muscle Jade Bone better than me."
"There's no difficult illness that I, Doctor Jiang, can't cure!"
When Luo Jiaoyang heard "medicinal bathing," he thought it did make sense. There were records of medicinal bathing in the family history.
So he gritted his teeth. "Fine! I'll listen to you! Come on, my good son, help your father into the pot!"
