"What are these?" Qiangu Yunying asked curiously.
Staring at the giant egg before her and the dazzling pearl beside it, she was full of questions about what these two treasures were and how they were used.
Yin Zhang explained softly, "This giant egg comes from an ancient Dragon Clan. Although there's long been no sign of life inside, the Dragon Clan bloodline contained within it is extremely pure and profound. If I cook it and eat it, it will greatly strengthen the Dragon bloodline of the Martial Soul within my body. By then, my spirit power should increase significantly, and I may even comprehend new dragon-type abilities."
Qiangu Yunying suddenly understood. "So this egg is meant to be eaten? I thought you were planning to hatch it!"
Yin Zhang chuckled, then introduced the other treasure.
"This pearl is called the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pearl. It was formed when mental power aligned with the right time, place, and conditions. If swallowed and refined, it can greatly enhance mental power and even provide a chance to comprehend a mental-type spirit ability. For me right now, it's an extremely important treasure."
Qiangu Yunying nodded blankly. "I see… Alright then, I'll accept this Spirit Bone. But if I obtain a Spirit Bone later and want to give it to you, you're not allowed to refuse!"
Yin Zhang nodded gently with a smile. "Alright, I won't refuse."
What he didn't say was that accepting it didn't necessarily mean he would absorb it himself.
"And what about Nana?" Qiangu Yunying continued. "She's been waiting for you in Spirit City."
Yin Zhang nodded with a smile. "Of course I haven't forgotten Hu Liena. I've prepared a pearl for her as well. It's extremely beneficial for improving mental power. As long as she carries it with her, it can steadily enhance her mental power all the way up to the Spirit Saint level. It suits her perfectly. I've noticed that she hasn't fully developed her mental power yet—this pearl will make a huge difference."
Qiangu Yunying nodded. After chatting for a while longer, she sat down on the bed and began absorbing the Spirit Bone.
Yin Zhang quietly left the room, not wanting to disturb her. He stored the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pearl back into the golden bead chain, then carried the giant egg out into the courtyard.
He gently shook the egg, feeling the liquid inside slosh faintly, doubt surfacing in his heart.
Can this thing really still be eaten?
But trusting the System, Yin Zhang decided to roast it.
As long as he controlled the temperature properly, there was no risk of burning it. After all, a Dragon Clan egg shouldn't be as fragile as an ordinary chicken egg.
He summoned his Charizard Martial Soul and exhaled streams of flame.
At first, the flames slowly circled the giant egg as he adjusted the heat. Then he gradually increased the firepower, carefully "boiling" it.
Before long, the egg began to emit a rich, lingering fragrance—so enticing that it stirred the appetite.
"This smells incredible… I'm actually getting hungry."
Yin Zhang rubbed his stomach, voicing his honest thoughts.
After some time, when he judged the egg to be fully cooked, he cracked it open. Just as he was about to discard the shell, his nose twitched slightly.
Yin Zhang's eyes lit up.
"These shells… smell edible too?"
He glanced at the crystal-clear egg inside, still giving off that strange fragrance, then suppressed the urge to devour it immediately and looked down at the eggshells scattered on the ground.
They didn't look dirty at all. The intense flames he had maintained for so long had already scorched the surrounding ground pitch-black.
Yin Zhang picked up the shells and brushed away the charred residue. When he tapped them lightly, they produced a clear, resonant sound, like a fine musical instrument.
Without hesitation, he put them into his mouth and began chewing.
The shells melted almost instantly. Warm streams of energy flowed through his limbs and bones, spreading throughout his body and making him feel pleasantly heated all over.
At the same time, his spirit power surged.
Yin Zhang's spirit power rose from level 42 to level 43.
However, the improvement to his Dragon Clan bloodline was minimal—barely perceptible.
After finishing the shells, Yin Zhang felt his body brimming with power, an intense urge to release it rising within him. Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the impulse and turned his gaze back to the giant egg.
His right hand transformed into a draconic palm, and with a decisive strike, he split the egg cleanly in half, revealing the golden yolk inside.
Yin Zhang swallowed hard.
Then he devoured it without restraint.
The very first bite triggered a profound transformation deep within his body. His spirit power began to soar wildly, while his Charizard Martial Soul—already exuding the dignity of a true dragon—quietly underwent subtle changes in its physical form.
By the time Yin Zhang finished the entire egg, he could feel a massive reserve of unrefined energy still coursing through him.
Ignoring the dirt beneath him, he immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground and began refining the remaining energy.
When he finally completed the process, dusk had already fallen and the sun was setting.
Yin Zhang opened his eyes and slowly stood up. A pleasantly surprised voice came from nearby.
"Xiao Zhang, you're finally awake. I've been waiting here for ages. I've got good news—want to hear it?"
Qiangu Yunying smiled at him.
Yin Zhang nodded with a gentle smile. "Of course, Sister Yunying. What level did your spirit power reach?"
Qiangu Yunying coughed lightly, puffed out her chest, and said proudly, "I absorbed two Spirit Bones in succession, and now my spirit power has reached level 68. I can even feel level 69 isn't far away. How about that? Impressive, right?"
Yin Zhang's eyes lit up.
Before absorbing the Spirit Bones, Qiangu Yunying had already been at level 65. Gaining three levels from two Spirit Bones was perfectly reasonable.
What he was more curious about were the abilities she had gained.
"Then, Sister Yunying," Yin Zhang asked immediately, "what Spirit Bone abilities did you obtain?"
Qiangu Yunying laughed softly and answered without hesitation, "They're called Titan Roaring Palm and Wind-Fire Extreme Speed Leg."
