Exiled Clan

"Bone Strengthening Technique." Rudra picked up a femur bone from a nearby skeleton and started absorbing the bone.Bone turned to dust and he felt the cracks on his femur decrease."It works, now the other thing.""Secondary Soul Devilish technique." Rudra started the incantations for the Devil Technique, he felt the original soul in the body try to resist but it was for no avail."Huuu, It is done." Rudra glanced at his bony palms and started to grab the bones around him at random and use the Bone Strengthening Technique to strengthen various parts of his skeleton.If one was to see the sea of bones now one would realize that one of the ma.s.sive piles in it had disappeared."I can walk finally; Also, the cracks are healed," Rudra said excitedly.Rudra touched the black soil with his bony palms looking around him to realize that he had just converted the whole pile he was on earlier into a greyish pile of dust."Next one," Rudra started to use Bone Strengthening Technique on the bone piles extinguishing them one by one he had already extinguished about 50 of these piles.He felt his build get taller than before all his bones had widened and had become stronger, a few bones had a spikey appearance now.He touched his skull only to realize that it did not appear to be a normal human skull anymore. But with the shape of his overall skeleton not changing and being more humanely he was not worried.He was still walking on his two long bony legs when a hand grabbed his ankle and tried to drag him, but unlike last time Rudra grabbed hold of the hand and yanked out an undead skeleton from the pile."Hmmm, can I absorb this skeleton." As Rudra pondered whether absorbing an undead skeleton would have the same effect absorbing the scattered bones. "Wait I have a better idea." Rudra used Soul Devouring Technique that he had used to beat Han Zu.CRASH!The Skeleton in his hand became a rag doll and lifelessly fell. Rudra who had used the Soul Devouring Technique felt his secondary soul strengthen."So the soul is the answer; stronger the soul greater the chances for it to gain sentience and even learn lich magic or cultivate the Death Qi." Rudra nodded his bony skull coming to an understanding."Let's continue to test my theory." Rudra started grabbing random bones.Bone Strengthening TechniqueBone Strengthening TechniqueBone Strengthening Technique Soul Devouring Technique Soul Devouring TechniqueBone Strengthening TechniqueAfter who knows how long Rudra felt a pain in his soul, he had absorbed too many souls of undead skeletons."AHHHH..." Rudra felt the pain subside after some time, he saw a hexagonal bipyramid crystal, having 12 isosceles triangles, 18 edges, and 8 vertices. Rudra saw the crystal had a skull shape drawn on it. He could channel the soul power in the crystal for his gain.
After familiarizing himself with the power of the crystal he once again dived into the pile of bones absorbing the souls and bones of unfortunate undead skeletons.While Rudra was busy being a Skeleton. Rishi had taken control of the body seeing that Rudra had his consciousness busy.With the first light of the sun, Rishi started teaching the new disciples of the Shattered Ocean Farming Sect the way of cultivation and farming.He spent the whole day sharing his vast experience of being a Foundation Building Realm Cultivator with the younglings who were in the Qi condensation stage.He was more easily able to help out the members of the Giri clan who were practicing the Verdant Mountain Qi as he was more familiar with it.He spent the noon teaching them the basic characteristics of different spiritual plants and how to grow them.At night he once again met up with Master Ren to discuss their current track of progress and the need for manuals in Shattered Ocean Farming Sect.Finally, it was decided that Rishi would sneak back in the Spirit Ocean Sect without the Sect Head realizing and use the token she had given him to withdraw the promised manuals and get hold of some basic building resources like stones and wood.Rishi even considered apologizing to the Sect Head; to get back the promised benefits, but he decided against it.Rishi sat on top of one of the black rocks and cultivated the Verdant Mountain Qi to strengthen the foundation of his Earth Qi.
