Two hundred and sixteen spirit veins?
Two hundred and sixteen pieces of skeleton!
Although Chen Zhixing knew that the Immortal Race didn't have such a thing as a skeleton within them, upon discovering that the spirit veins he extracted after breaking through the Flying Star Realm happened to match this number, he naturally associated them.
"A bit insufficient in number, old brother, how did you manage to have the Flying Star Realm condense so few spirit veins?"
"Do you think I voluntarily practiced the Golden Immortal Technique?"
"Huh?"
"I underwent Star Transformation because, after the Great Sun formed by our patriarch weakened, our existing power couldn't safeguard the resources controlled by my sect, and our adversaries forced all sixteen immortals remaining in our sect to transform into stars, allowing the adversaries to legitimately seize and take over the sect's resources."
