Chapter 73 Dragon Bone
Ma Tianhe came in carrying a box that was half as high as his waist.

After opening it, three purple-gold bones were found in the box, as if they were made of purple gold.

It is about one meter long and as thick as a thigh. Judging from its shape, Chu Zhiyuan judged it to be a dragon claw, and the joints can be seen.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Ma Tianhe: "What kind of dragon is this?"

Ma Tianhe looked around.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Zou Fang stepped forward and waved her hand, and the maids serving nearby retreated one after another.

Zou Fang personally stepped forward and closed the door.

"It is said to be a flying dragon." Ma Tianhe said softly.

It was as if someone was hearing what he said.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

I didn't expect that flying dragon bones would actually be delivered.

I thought he would give me a dragon bone.

I didn't expect this bone to be so big.

Ma Tianhe said softly: "This is a treasure of the Sizhu. It is said that the prince is quick to act, but this matter still needs to be covered up."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "No one outside will know."

Ma Tianhe's voice became even softer, so low that it was barely audible: "My company has long known that the guy is a secret agent of Dazhen. As the relationship between the two countries was improving, we did not arrest him decisively. Now that the Crown Prince is involved, we have no choice but to arrest him."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Ma Tianhe's face suddenly showed a flattering smile again, and he clasped his fists and said, "This box of treasures is an apology to the prince."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "I have received your sincerity and I am very satisfied. I will not interfere with the actions of the Supervisory Department."

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness and generosity!” Ma Tianhe clasped his fists solemnly and said, “Then I’ll take my leave.”

Chu Zhiyuan lowered his head.

The two smiled knowingly at each other, and Ma Tianhe turned around and strode away.

The two sides have reached an agreement on their statements to keep the matter secret.

As for the Zhenwu Division, I believe that with Leng Nanfeng's skills, nothing will go wrong.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up and walked out.

Zou Fang hurried forward to close the box, picked it up lightly and followed him to prevent others from seeing what was inside the box.

When they arrived at Tingtao Courtyard, Zou Fang carefully placed the box in front of the bed.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn't wait: "Open it."

Zou Fang opened the box, took out the huge flying dragon bone, and presented it to Chu Zhiyuan with both hands.

Chu Zhiyuan took it and it felt as light as paper.

As soon as his hands touched the flying dragon bone, the purple energy in his body suddenly surged, and the Dragon Transformation Art began to work. Without him even thinking about it, the third level of the Dragon Transformation Art was activated.

Chu Zhiyuan let it run, just watching it clearly.

The third level of the Dragon Transformation Art is complicated, but with the acceleration of the twenty orifices, the speed is extremely fast. Now with the addition of the Flying Dragon Bone, the speed is increased again, reaching ten times the initial speed.

He was slightly disappointed.

It turns out that it is not five times multiplied by five times, but just addition.

The surging purple energy surged in the body, quickly becoming purer, and finally turned into a wisp of light mist that permeated the body and fell on the bones.

He noticed something strange.

A strange aura began to surge into the palms of his hands and entered into the misty purple air. It quickly absorbed the misty purple air, making it stronger, and finally circulated to the end, transforming into thick fog and spreading out.

The concentration and quantity are nearly a hundred times that of the original purple mist, and the effect is increased a hundred times.

A strange aura continuously poured into the palm of his hand, blending with the misty purple air and transforming into the third layer of aura to strengthen the bones. This process continued, and the bones underwent drastic changes.

Chu Zhiyuan was amazed.

Bones become denser, harder, and lighter.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized that this was transforming in the direction of the flying dragon's bones.

He suddenly drew out the Qingying sword and stabbed it towards the flying dragon bone. With a clear "ding" sound, the tip of the sword was bounced off, leaving no trace on the flying dragon bone.

Chu Zhiyuan was shocked.

Although the Qingying Sword could not break the barrier, it was a sword that could cut through iron like mud, and it did not leave any trace.

With bones this hard, what kind of sword is needed to kill a flying dragon?

To outsiders, this dragon bone can only be used to soak in medicinal wine, or to train the body, or to strengthen the bones, so its price is about the same as the marrow cleansing pill.

But in Chu Zhiyuan's eyes, the effect of this dragon bone far exceeds that of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Even ten or even twenty Marrow Cleansing Pills are far inferior to it.

He was very satisfied with Leng Nanfeng's style of doing things, as he gave him three flying dragon bones at once.

The bones were rapidly strengthening, and the flying dragon bones also underwent a slight change, its purple-gold color actually faded a bit. This slight change was very subtle but could not be hidden from his super sense.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately understood that if the purple-gold color on the flying dragon bone faded, it would probably be useless, just like the dragon blood stone.

He looked up at the sky.

The sun has reached its zenith.

He told Zou Fang that he wanted to practice in seclusion, skip lunch, and continue to practice the third level of the Dragon Transformation Technique.

……

sunset.

Chu Minghou and Bai Ningshuang were walking around in the front hall, looking anxious.

From time to time, I looked up at the sky and saw the beautiful sunset glow all over the sky.

But they still looked anxious.

It was time to enter the palace and the banquet was about to begin, but Chu Zhiyuan was still practicing.

Chu Yi sat at the table nearby, with his chin in his hand, lost in thought, not in a hurry.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard and Feng Xi came in to report that the eunuch from the palace had arrived and was urging them to come.

Chu Minghou was helpless: "Please come in."

"Yes."

A moment later, a thin middle-aged eunuch walked in with elegant steps, flicked his whisk, bowed and saluted: "Your servant Huang Cheng greets the prince, princess, and princess."

"Huang Cheng, forget it." Chu Minghou waved his hand: "Why did you come here in person?"

Although he seldom left the house, he recognized Huang Cheng, an old acquaintance of his in the palace. Huang Cheng looked middle-aged, about the same age as him, but he had the secret to maintaining his youthful appearance and was already in his seventies.

Huang Cheng looked the same as he does now before he was sealed up. Thirty years have passed, and he has hardly changed at all. This may be due to the extraordinary skills he has practiced.

These eunuchs who are close to the emperor will have the opportunity to obtain some rare treasures. Taking them will not only improve their cultivation but also have other miraculous effects.

"I came to take a look in person to avoid any mistakes and delays. Your Majesty, it's time to set off."

"Wait a little longer, Yuan'er is still practicing."

"The prince..." Huang Cheng was stunned.

Bai Ningshuang said: "Otherwise, we should go first and don't let Eunuch Huang wait. Yuan'er can go after he finishes his training. If he really can't go, there is nothing we can do."

Huang Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Chu Minghou.

Chu Minghou nodded helplessly: "This is the only way."

Huang Cheng is a eunuch serving the emperor, so he cannot be neglected too much. It is indeed inappropriate to let him wait for Yuan'er with his family.

Huang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Will the prince miss the palace banquet?"

"There's nothing we can do if we really miss it. It's not too late to go next time." Bai Ningshuang didn't care much.

Anyway, the palace is now unsealed, and there will be many palace night banquets in the future, so this one won’t make a difference. What’s more, this one is to welcome the Dazhen envoys, not a family banquet.

I'm just going to add to the atmosphere. There's nothing to be noticed if I go, so I won't go if I don't want to.

Huang Cheng finally understood that they had no idea that Chu Zhiyuan was going to fight against Cheng Tianfeng, the son of the Great Zhenying Prince.

Secretly laughing.

This couple is really careless, they don’t even know about such things.

The Fourth Prince is working hard to prepare for war, so it is impossible that there won’t be any traces.

The Fourth Prince was truly a man of deep resolve, having managed to hide this from his parents.

It is obvious that he doesn't want the couple to worry. This kind of filial piety is really rare.

As expected of someone who has been through hardships, he is sensible.

"Eunuch Huang, is there something wrong?" Bai Ningshuang saw that Huang Cheng looked unwell.

Huang Cheng said embarrassedly: "This time, the prince of Prince Ying will be there, so the princes of the various princely palaces will also have to go."

"The prince is accompanying the prince?" Bai Ningshuang suddenly realized, and then said, "Yuan'er can also join us, right? We didn't participate before."

"It's different now." Huang Cheng said with a smile: "Shouldn't the prince be allowed to see the emperor earlier?"

"But Yuan'er is practicing, so it's better not to disturb him." Bai Ningshuang said.

She attached great importance to Chu Zhiyuan's cultivation. In her eyes, cultivation was more important than attending the palace dinner, where she was just going to make up the numbers.

Just like parents in previous lives attached great importance to their children’s homework, having a party at home was not as important as their children doing their homework.

"This..." Huang Cheng hesitated.

If Chu Zhiyuan doesn't go, then Chu Zhiyao will have to go.

It is certain that Chu Zhiyao is no match for Cheng Tianfeng.

"Envoy Huang." Chu Zhiyuan's voice suddenly sounded, and he walked slowly into the front hall, followed by Zou Fang.
