Chapter 975: The World-Shaking Spiritual Treasure, Popularizing Throughout Shenzhou
In midair.
Many cultivators stood aloft, gazing down at the bustling streets below, unable to help but be astonished.
"Keep order, do not panic!"
The Black Armored Guard from the City Lord's Mansion immediately came forward, tasked with maintaining order on the streets to prevent any dangerous incidents.
City center.
Here lay a vast square.
Countless thousands were lined up in eight long queues, approaching from eight directions toward the immense Bone Marrow Stele, ready to tap into their potential.
"You, step forward!"
A Black Armored Guard tasked with maintaining order walked up, pointing at the person at the front of one queue, instructing him to approach the Bone Marrow Stele to begin unlocking his potential.
"Yes!"
This was a valiant and robust warrior.
Though previously found to lack innate bone marrow, he practiced martial arts, possessed True Qi, and had become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, capable of splitting stones with a single palm strike.
It was because of his strong personal ability that he was able to squeeze to the very front among the mortals.
"Finally, I can obtain bone marrow!"
The robust warrior, excited, licked his lips, feeling his mouth dry and tongue parched. Under the gaze of thousands, he placed his trembling right hand on the surface of the Bone Marrow Stele.
The next moment.
A pale white light surged from the Bone Marrow Stele into the warrior's body, giving him a sensation of being about to evaporate and as though he was going to soar into the skies.
In short, it was incredibly exhilarating!
"Ah!"
The warrior cried out loudly, forcing himself to keep his hand on the Bone Marrow Stele, embracing this purifying ordeal.
Ten breaths later.
The warrior almost collapsed, sitting down abruptly on the ground, raising his head to look at the slowly emerging line of text on the surface of the Bone Marrow Stele.
[Bone Marrow: Lower Grade]
"Only a lower grade?"
The warrior clenched his fists, feeling somewhat unwilling.
After all, he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, yet his bone marrow was only of the lower grade?
But upon reflection, he originally did not possess any bone marrow at all.
Now, having stimulated his potential and obtaining lower grade bone marrow was already quite an achievement.
With his current skills, he could earn quite a few Spirit Stones, paving the way for his future cultivation.
In the future, the Element Gathering Realm was within reach!
"Next!"
The Black Armored Guard shouted.
"It's my turn, my turn!"
An old man, leaning on a cane, trembled forward, extending his hand to press against the Bone Marrow Stele.
He too was penetrated by white light.
The process of stimulating potential began.
Ten breaths later.
A line of text appeared.
[Bone Marrow: Middle Grade]
"Middle grade bone marrow?"
"This old man, appearance can be deceptive, huh!"
"Do you think, what are the chances of a middle grade bone marrow emerging? If even an old man has this quality, then shouldn't I be able to have upper grade bone marrow?"
"Don't be boastful!"
The crowd began discussing.
Their looks toward the old man were filled with envy.
People from other queues swiftly stepped forward to stimulate their potential, but this time, the type of bone marrow displayed on the Bone Marrow Stele bore a name like never before.
[Bone Marrow: No Grade]
At this name, the entire place fell silent.
"No grade bone marrow?"
"Isn't that the same as having no bone marrow?"
Everyone was bewildered.
Even the nearby Black Armored Guards and the cultivators watching from above were full of suspicion.
No grade bone marrow?
What on earth did this mean?
Countless cultivators looked in the direction of Misty Peak, hoping to get the reasons from Ye Feng's mouth.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind suddenly appeared, gathering above Whitefloat City into the phantom of Ye Feng, giving an impression of facing the entire Great Thousand World, almost making it difficult to breathe.
"This is the worst kind of bone marrow."
Ye Feng's phantom started to speak.
"Under normal circumstances, bone marrow is classified into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, supreme grade, divine grade, and sacred grade, each ascending respectively. The higher the grade of the bone marrow, the faster the cultivation speed."
"But, many people overlook one point."
"That is, the Gradeless Bone Marrow."
"This kind of bone marrow is even worse than the Lower Grade, yet it is still true bone marrow that can be cultivated, only the efficiency of cultivation is too low."
"If one possesses Gradeless Bone Marrow without encountering any special fortune, in this lifetime they will at most be a low-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm."
"Lower Grade Bone Marrow, however, is different."
"With diligent cultivation, one can break through to the Element Gathering Realm, and with some fortuitous encounters, even advance to the Spirit Sea Realm."
Having explained this, everyone seemed to understand.
Someone boldly asked, "Sect Master Ye, most of us wouldn't happen to have Gradeless Bone Marrow, would we?"
"Correct!" Ye Feng nodded.
Upon this statement, the entire audience was astounded.
Most people actually have Gradeless Bone Marrow?
Does that not mean that even if they rely on the Bone Marrow Stele to awaken their bone marrow, due to it being merely the poorest Gradeless type, they would still be unable to break through the peak of the Qi Refining Realm in this lifetime?
Isn't that too tragic?
However, some people understood satisfaction, saying,
"This is already very good. Previously, without any bone marrow, we couldn't even cultivate. Now, even though we have only awakened Gradeless Bone Marrow, we can at least formally start our cultivation, enter the Qi Refining Realm, strengthen our bodies, and prolong our lives."
These words won everyone's agreement.
Some people are just insatiably greedy.
Originally being without any bone marrow, they would have never been able to cultivate in this lifetime; now that they have acquired bone marrow through the Bone Marrow Stele, it's as if the heavens have opened their eyes and their ancestors have blessed them from their graves.
Ye Feng continued, saying:
"All those without bone marrow can awaken bone marrow through the Bone Marrow Stele, with a hundred percent chance of awakening Gradeless Bone Marrow, a one percent chance of awakening Lower Grade Bone Marrow, a one in ten thousand chance of awakening Middle Grade Bone Marrow, and a one in a million chance of awakening Upper Grade Bone Marrow."
"As for Supreme Grade Bone Marrow, the probability is one in a billion."
Ye Feng looked over the entire Whitefloat City.
"The city's population is about one billion, mostly consisting of mortals without bone marrow. Among them, producing a few with Supreme Grade Bone Marrow is still entirely possible."
Upon saying this, the whole place was shaken.
"Supreme Grade Bone Marrow!"
"That's truly the level of a heaven-born genius!"
"Do you think I might have that kind of luck?"
"Can't you see yourself for what you are? Even if a few heaven-sent geniuses with Supreme Grade Bone Marrow appear in the city, that would be me!"
"..."
The mortals of Whitefloat City discussed fervently.
Although the birth probability of Supreme Grade Bone Marrow was only one in a billion, this didn't mean there was no chance.
If luck were on their side, they might truly soar to the skies.
"Sect Master Ye, what about Divine Grade and Sacred Grade Bone Marrow?"
Someone asked.
Ye Feng smiled and said,
"Divine Grade and Sacred Grade Bone Marrow are rarely seen even throughout the entire Shenzhou, let alone awakened by a mere Bone Marrow Stele."
"Alright, continue to stimulate your potential!"
After finishing his speech, Ye Feng dispelled the huge avatar in the sky.
His real body atop Misty Peak slowly opened its eyes and looked at the excited crowd; he was very pleased.
"Very good!"
"Although there is only a one-in-a-billion chance for Supreme Grade Bone Marrow, considering the countless population of the Shenzhou Continent, a significant number of geniuses will definitely be born."
"Then there's Lower Grade Bone Marrow, with a chance of one percent. This probability is actually quite high."
In the Cultivation World, most are common cultivators.
And their bone marrow is mostly of the Lower Grade.
It can be said that cultivators with Lower Grade Bone Marrow make up the main part of the cultivation army in the Cultivation World.
As for Gradeless Bone Marrow, it has never appeared before.
As time goes by, cultivators with Gradeless Bone Marrow may likely become the mainstream of the Shenzhou Continent's future.
"Just one Bone Marrow Stele definitely won't be enough; I need to mass produce them, otherwise, it would be difficult to promote them throughout the entire Shenzhou."
With that said, Ye Feng continued to create Bone Marrow Steles.
He had a large amount of materials.
Casually using a material mine mountain was enough to create an ordinary Saint Entry Level Sacred Arm, and the materials used for these sacred arms were enough to create a hundred million Lower Grade Spiritual Treasures.
This meant one thing.
With Ye Feng's current financial power, creating a hundred million Bone Marrow Steles was no pressure at all.
"You start forging, I'll be right back."
Ye Feng set aside the mountainous ores, patted the Refining Furnace, and arranged for it to automatically refine.
Then, Ye Feng closed his eyes.
In the next moment,
Space and time around him churned as he entered the Chaos Consciousness World and saw the Heavenly Dao Remnants.
"You have come."
The Heavenly Dao Remnant, taking the form of Ye Feng's figure and clad in a Seven-Colored Immortal Robe emanating an aura, slowly began to speak.
