After pondering for a while, continued to add.

"Also, according to the [Body Refining Manual], to achieve the best effect of the medicine bath, you need to use dew collected after the morning mist has dispersed. The villagers will all help Xu Ran collect it!"

Xu Ran once again saved the Great Wilderness Border Village from disaster, collecting dew, although entering the Great Mountain before dawn was very arduous.

Moreover, to gather enough dew for one medicine bath, they didn’t know how much time and effort it would take. There wasn’t much else they could do, but such a simple task, not only the Guard Team, but even some children and elderly in the village could accomplish it.

Xu Binghu knew that to get the best effect from the medicine bath, indeed, dew should be used. Such a miraculous White Jade Bone, it would be a pity if the best materials weren’t used.

"Then this time, I’ll trouble you all," Xu Binghu said, cupping his fists toward everyone.

Old Qi led everyone in reciprocal salutation, saying, "For the contribution your Xu Family has made to the Great Wilderness Border Village, these are insignificant tasks!"

Then he glanced at the mist that had just dispersed and continued, "The mountains had continuous rain for several days, which has just cleared up. There should be plenty of dew, let’s head into the mountains!!"

With that, Old Qi led a group of people into the Great Mountain, while a few people in the village were left to clean up the corpses.

...

At noon.

The sun was shining brightly, and the scorching sunlight poured into the Xu Family courtyard, causing the morning blood to already dry up, leaving only a stain on the ground.

At the entrance of the Xu Family, a crowd of people gathered, each holding a small bucket, and some even just had a small bottle in their hands.

In these small buckets, some of the collected dew was present, albeit in very small quantities.

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji stood at the entrance, with a massive two-meter-high vat beside them, covered with a sunshade made from stitched Beast Hide.

If it weren’t constructed, the dew just poured in might evaporate in the next second from the sun.

"Everyone can just give me the collected dew; as long as this vat is filled, it will be enough."

"Thank you, everyone!!"

"Thank you, everyone!!"

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji welcomed everyone with smiling faces at the entrance, as it was appropriate to properly thank them for helping Xu Ran collect dew.

Throughout an entire noon, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were pouring dew into the large vat.

After working for an entire noon, they looked into the vat, only to find a thin layer of dew, which could easily be mistaken for leftover water stains if they didn’t know it was dew.

"This dew is so little; when will it be possible to collect enough to fill the entire vat?"

Xu Binghu muttered.

This speed was indeed too slow; it might take several months.

"Don’t worry!" Lian Ji said from beside him, "This is only the first day, and after the morning time. Getting this much is already a lot!!"

What Lian Ji said was also true; the best time to collect dew is when the sun first breaks through a slight layer of morning mist over the mountains.

Today’s success was only due to the dense fog over the mountains dissipating. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a single drop today.

Xu Binghu sighed, withdrawing his gaze from the vat, and then covered it with a lid, returning to the courtyard.

At this time, Xu Ran was still there observing the White Jade Bone.

"Xu Ran, you’ve been studying it all morning; have you discovered anything?"

Xu Ran discovered through the Innate Qi that the White Jade Bone, with its smooth surface, had endlessly mysterious Runes, and had been carefully observing ever since, trying to comprehend the mysteries within.

But after a whole morning had passed, he had gained nothing.

"No, wait!!" Xu Ran softly exclaimed, "I found that although there are Runes on this bone, they don’t seem to be engraved on the surface. These Runes seem to be some kind of flow?"

Suddenly, Xu Ran’s eyes lit up, "Yes, it’s a flow!!"

"There is something inside this bone!!"

Xu Binghu also looked at the White Jade Bone in surprise, "Something inside the bone?"

He really hadn’t thought of this before.

"Yes." Xu Ran explained, "Since even the bones of domestic pigs have marrow, wouldn’t this mysterious White Jade Bone also have marrow inside!!"

"Reasonable!" Xu Binghu agreed, but quickly raised a doubt, "But if there’s marrow inside, it’s okay, right?"

"Since the bone is to be used for the medicine bath, even if there’s marrow inside, it would presumably evaporate out during the bath, right?"

"No, that’s not right!!" Xu Binghu suddenly realized.

Immediately, he hurried to the corner of the courtyard, picked up a machete made of Snake Bone and Snake Scale, and returned to the side of the White Jade Bone.

"Xu Ran, Lian Ji, step back a bit."

Both Xu Ran and Lian Ji nodded and stepped back a few paces.

"Hah!!"

Then, blue veins bulged on Xu Binghu’s arm, and two thousand pounds of Power erupted forcefully from within him, creating a gust of strong wind that kicked up dust all around, causing everyone to squint.

"Boom----"

A ’boom’ was heard, and a reflecting blade rebounded in the air off the White Jade Bone.

"Swish---"

A piece of the broken blade, split in two, was wedged in the eaves, continuously trembling.

"This bone is too hard!!"

Xu Binghu threw the machete, now half broken, aside, shaking his hand numbed by the recoil, grunting through his teeth.

Through Xu Ran’s words, Xu Binghu realized that the surface of the White Jade Bone was extremely solid; even if there was bone marrow inside, trying to force it out with a medicine bath was impossible.

There was only one way, which was to cut the White Jade Bone into two parts and take out the marrow.

But now, it seemed like there was no way to achieve that!!!

"I thought we found a miraculous bone to use for Xu Ran’s medicine bath, but unfortunately, it’s uncuttable!!!"

Xu Binghu felt endless regret in his heart. It was like having a mountain of gold right in front of him that he couldn’t obtain.

"Ah?! We were busy in vain!! Should we have the villagers stop collecting..."

Before Xu Binghu could finish speaking, suddenly, white flowing light burst from Xu Ran’s body, and an aura filled with destructive energy swept through the entire courtyard, causing Xu Binghu to lose his balance for a moment.

Turning to look at Xu Ran, he saw a pocket-sized Flying Sword of white hovering above his head.

Then, Xu Ran formed Hand Techniques, and the pocket-sized Flying Sword floating above his head began to hum.

In the next moment.

A white stream of light shot out from above Xu Ran’s head, so fast that it left a series of booming sounds in the air, piercing the ears of Xu Binghu and Lian Ji with pain.

Even so, their eyes remained fixed on the White Jade Bone.

"Shh---"

White flowing light skimmed the middle of the bone, and along with the white light, a rush of white liquid began to flow out from within the bone.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu quickly grabbed a large bucket nearby, rushing at full speed to the front of the bone, placing the bucket where the pocket-sized Flying Sword had passed through the bone.

At the same time, he turned to Lian Ji, shouting, "Quickly, bring all the buckets in the house over here!!"

"Okay!"

Lian Ji acted immediately, bringing out all the large buckets from the house.

"Xu Ran, this Flying Sword of yours is too powerful, slicing through the White Jade Bone without any effort, where we were helpless before!!"

Xu Binghu’s voice was filled with joy and astonishment.

He had just tried to split the White Jade Bone with a machete, using all his strength, now approximately at 3000 pounds of force.

pounds of force couldn’t make the slightest ripple on the White Jade Bone.

Yet, Xu Ran effortlessly used the pocket-sized Flying Sword to lightly skim through the White Jade Bone, easily cutting it in half.

This kind of ability was something they could never surpass!!

"With such a method, you could walk proudly through the Great Mountain!!"

As Xu Binghu spoke, he took another large bucket handed over by Lian Ji. The marrow flowing from the White Jade Bone had already filled two large buckets entirely.

Moreover, it seemed like the White Jade Bone contained an endless pit, as the marrow appeared inexhaustible!!
