In an instant, the ancient and powerful force rushed out of the box like a surging tide, impacting every inch of the air.

The appearance of the treasure was completely exposed to everyone's sight.

I saw a pale bone lying quietly in the box. Every inch of it had delicate and complex lines, emitting strands of cold blue light.

Everyone was shocked!

Before the monks had digested the shock in their hearts, they were immediately given goose bumps by a gust of cold air, and their eyebrows and hair were instantly covered with frost.

Except for Fan Li who was not affected at all, everyone else was shivering uncontrollably due to the cold.

Fortunately, the saint closed the box in time, otherwise those with low cultivation would have been frozen into ice sculptures on the spot.

Although it was only a few breaths of time, the appearance of the treasure was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind, impacting their hearts.

A monk with a mustache asked in surprise, "Could that be the dragon bone that sold for a sky-high price at the Wanbao auction eight years ago, the dragon bone of the Snow Dragon?!"

The Saint said elegantly: "Your Excellency is right, it is a section of the dragon bone of the Snow Dragon."

The monk was shocked and full of doubts: "It's just a competition. Using such an expensive treasure as a prize, isn't the price too high?"

These words woke everyone up.

Yes, it’s just a competition, not the large-scale discussion conference like in previous years. Is it necessary to have such expensive rewards?

They were afraid that if the final result didn’t show that their Beast Taming Sect won, they would go back on their word.

Everyone calmed down a lot and waited for the saint's reply.

The Saint smiled and said slowly, "Eight years ago, Wanbao Merchants had three dragon bones, all of which were bought by our Beast Taming Sect. This is one of them."

The Saint said with a look of regret: "Dragon bone is definitely a top-level material for refining weapons, but it's a pity that this one can't be used."

"I believe you have seen the patterns on it just now. It is an ancient restriction. If it is forcibly broken, the dragon bone will turn into ashes in an instant!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in shock.

"If your sect doesn't have anyone capable of breaking the ban, what use would it be to us?"

These words really speak for what everyone is thinking.

You can only look at it but not use it, yet you have to keep it as a sacrifice. What kind of thing is this?

The Saint said calmly, "You can't say that. You are all geniuses from super sects. Just because you can't break the restriction doesn't mean the people behind you can't break it."

"Well, let me show you a way. This restriction is not without a solution, but it depends on luck."

The monk asked curiously, "Why do we have to rely on luck?"

Saint: "As long as you can find a spirit beast with the blood of an ancient beast, just a drop of its blood can easily break the ban."

Hearing the words "bloodline of ancient mythical beasts", Fan Li instantly became alert and squinted his eyes to look at the saint lady.

The monks were discussing among themselves in the audience.

The ancient mythical beasts had long been extinct, and they had never heard of any spiritual beasts with the blood of mythical beasts. The method provided by the saint would be better off not mentioning it!

No one knew that a divine sense was spreading across the sky, silently covering the trial site.

Everyone's reaction, every word, and even the subtle expressions, were clearly seen by Sect Leader Xue.

Lu Xingran stroked his chin and said, "Dragon bone is a good thing, but it's a pity. No wonder the Beast Taming Sect is willing to take out a treasure of this level."

Fan Li's eyes flashed and he sighed: "Yeah, what a pity."

Lu Xingran retracted her gaze: "It's not that easy to find a spirit beast with the blood of a divine beast. This dragon bone is useless."

Fan Li nodded, agreeing.

"So do you still plan to participate in this spirit beast competition?" Lu Xingran asked.

She remembered that Fan Li had a pet beast, but its strength was unknown.

Fan Li shook his head, "No, let's give this opportunity to everyone else. Where's Sister Lu?"

Lu Xingran spread her hands and said, "I don't even have a pet yet."

"Then let's go to the Sutra Library."

"Walk."

The two of them left together.

Fan Li could feel that the spiritual consciousness stayed on him for a moment, and then disappeared.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Lu Xingran beside her calmly and found that her expression was normal, without any change. It seemed that she was unaware that someone was watching her in secret.

Perhaps it was because he had absorbed the essence of the spiritual liquid in the secret realm before, Fan Li's perception was now very sharp, especially to this kind of spiritual peeping.

Fan Li's heart couldn't help but rise.

It seems that the people of the Beast Taming Sect have discovered the existence of the bloodline of the divine beast, but they haven't found it yet, so they use dragon bones to catch big fish.

Fortunately, she held back.

That snow dragon bone was a weapon-refining material tailor-made for Fan Li, and she wanted it so much.

She had originally planned to let the golden tiger participate in this competition. The golden tiger is already an earth-level spiritual beast with strength in the late golden elixir stage. She was confident that she could defeat those people and take the championship.

But now she had to suppress this thought. The Beast Taming Sect had no good intentions. For the safety of the golden tiger, she could give up the dragon bone.

Just as Fan Li and Lu Xingran were about to leave the trial site, Lin Zichen came back and appeared in front of Fan Li.

Lu Xingran and Fan Li both stopped because the other's eyes were too hot.

He stared straight at Fan Li and rushed forward.

Only when he came closer did Fan Li notice that something was wrong with him.

Lin Zichen's eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just cried a lot, and his clothes were still dirty. He no longer looked as elegant as before.

I’m afraid that the girls who adore him won’t be able to recognize him when they see him like this.

"Fan Li, I want you to tell me in person that you have not practiced the Way of Mercy!"

"This is all Brother Zhou's trick to make me angry, right?!"

Lin Zichen's voice was hoarse, he was very emotional, and his hands were clenched into fists.

He wanted Fan Li to give him an answer.

Fan Li said calmly, "Brother Zhou, there is no need to lie to you. I do practice the ruthless way. What's wrong with that?"

Lin Zichen was stunned, stepped back repeatedly, and murmured in disbelief: "No, it's impossible, how can you practice the ruthless way..."

Even after hearing Fan Li admit it himself, he still refused to believe it.

"I don't believe it. You must be trying to piss me off on purpose. What kind of bullshit ruthless way is this? I've never heard of it before! There is no such way in the world!!"

He almost yelled out, sounding crazy.

As he said this, he was about to pounce on her, wanting to grab Fan Li and make her change her words.

But before he could get close, Lu Xingran waved his hand and flew away.

Lu Xingran frowned and asked, "Who is this lunatic?"

Fan Li: "Master Yunmeng's fifth disciple, Lin Zichen."

Lu Xingran said, "Oh," and said, "That must be your senior brother."

Fan Li said coldly: "He is not my senior brother."

Lu Xingran understood immediately that the two had a conflict, probably a big one. Judging from the situation, it must be that guy who bullied Fan Li.

Then she couldn't let Lin Zichen get close to Fan Li.

Lu Xingran waved her hand and set up an invisible spiritual barrier in front of Fan Li. When Lin Zichen came over again, he ran into an air wall.

I became much more sober in an instant.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it. He didn't even dare to ask why Fan Li wanted to practice the ruthless way.

He is scared.

The reason behind the fear has something to do with him.

So he could only ask: "...When did it happen? Was it when you were in the secret realm? Was it when you broke through the golden elixir?"

Lin Zichen was no longer able to think; his head seemed to have been turned into a mess by something.

"Or was it half a year ago?" he said in a hoarse voice.

Fan Li's eyelids twitched slightly and she looked at him silently. Although she didn't say anything, she had already given him the answer.

Lin Zichen lowered his head and smiled palely: "It was really half a year ago."

Lu Xingran listened quietly. She couldn't help but wonder what happened half a year ago and why Fan Li changed to the ruthless way?

Lin Zichen asked again: "Why? Why do you want to hurt yourself like this?"

Fan Li suddenly laughed, as if he was looking at a fool.

"You said I hurt myself?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Zichen didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Xiao Qi is the most loyal and righteous person, but she has to practice that stupid ruthless way. Isn't it very painful for her?

Lin Zichen's understanding of the ruthless way only stayed at the surface meaning, that is, the literal meaning. He only knew that Fan Li practiced the ruthless way, so she would be a ruthless person in the future.

He definitely doesn't want a Xiao Qi like this, he must stop her and make her turn back!

"Xiao Qi, you can't practice the ruthless way!"

Fan Li said unhappily, "Why do you come to tell me what to do?"

Lin Zichen was about to cry: "I beg you, Senior Brother, will you kneel down for me? Be obedient, it's not too late to turn back now!"

"Turn back?" Fan Li sneered, "Will I turn back and be a fool, letting you hurt me again and again?"

Lin Zichen didn't dare to look her in the eye, and said in panic: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to be my slave, I shouldn't have asked you to slap yourself, I shouldn't have said those insulting words to you..."

Suddenly, Lin Zichen bit his tongue, and a sharp pain brought him back to his senses.

He suddenly realized that he had actually spoken out what happened in his nightmare. Oh my God, Lin Zichen, you are crazy!

"No, that's not right, I didn't do that! It was just a dream, not real..."

He hurriedly explained and raised his eyes to look at Fan Li, but was frightened by her eyes at that moment and felt cold all over.
