The black large tripod vibrated, emitting waves of precious light. The little one had been sealed inside for over an hour. From time to time, the tripod lid was shaken open, and golden liquid splashed out. The rich aroma was intoxicating.
Vaguely, a golden Golden Lion was about to rush out, constantly roaring. That sound was so real that it made the people of Stone Village's scalps go numb in waves.
It wasn't very large, only over a foot long. It was vigorously hitting the tripod lid, its whole body golden and its light dazzling. It also snarled at the little one from time to time.
The tripod lid trembled violently, making people frightened. Several times, the villagers wanted to go forward and cover it tightly, but they were all stopped by the old village chief. This was the medicinal soul inside the tripod, the essence. It had to be 熬炼 ed like this and couldn't be disturbed.
The aroma became stronger and stronger. The black tripod was thick and heavy, and divine radiance kept falling, rushing out from the gap of the tripod lid. The little one floated up and down inside, with his eyes closed, undergoing the bath.
"Dang", "Dang"...
The one-foot-long golden Golden Lion struggled more and more fiercely, its whole body burning. Like a deity, it charged left and right, hitting the black tripod.
Everyone's expressions changed. Even Shi Yunfeng was very nervous, his eyes wide, closely watching the medicinal soul - the divine fragment inherited from the ancient Golden Lion emperor.
"It's not good like this. Will it rush out? Does the village chief really not let us interfere?" Shi Feijiao asked.
Shi Yunfeng had a solemn expression and said, "The medicinal tripod has been sealed. If we randomly move it, it might cause the essence of the medicine to explode and dissipate in this world."
"Ah, no good. It has started to attack the little one." Er Meng among the group of children exclaimed.
Everyone's hearts tightened. The divine Golden Lion's radiance was even more dazzling. It bared its teeth and brandished its claws, emitted clouds and mist, and made thunderous sounds as it charged towards the little one.
"Don't be nervous. It's already dead. This is just a divine fragment and has no true consciousness." Shi Yunfeng said.
The little one had a solemn and dignified appearance. His flesh and blood were shining. He was immersed in a strange state, regardless of everything, as if isolated from the outside world, tempering the divine radiance that wrapped around him. Refining the runes in the flesh and blood, melting them into rosy clouds and divine radiance. Every drop of blood was a rune, all being an eternal divine furnace, emitting boundless light and nourishing himself.
At this moment, his pores all over his body expanded. Every drop of blood became a divinity, breathing out divine radiance. Inside, it was like sitting one deity after another.
His whole body emitted divine radiance. The light dots were one after another, dense and numerous. It was as if countless deities were chanting, reciting scriptures, and shining, illuminating the blue sky.
The golden Golden Lion rushed over and was guided by countless light dots, turning into wisps of radiance, purified by those light dots and melted into itself.
"This kind of strange phenomenon is so mysterious!" The villagers were stunned, but their tense mood was relieved a lot.
"Ao..."
The Golden Lion struggled. Its resistance became even more violent. It dodged from the little one and frantically hit the black large tripod, making rumbling sounds that made people tremble, afraid that this tripod would suddenly shatter.
In the end, the golden Golden Lion became more and more fierce. The rumbling of the black tripod and its continuous trembling. But at this time, this tripod also changed. The sun, moon, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish, and insects on it became much more real, as if they were about to come alive.
"Eh, could it be that the ancient vessel passed down in our clan was originally a medicinal refining tripod?" Village Chief Shi Yunfeng was surprised. This was similar to the tripods of the large tribes.
The golden Golden Lion was angry and charged even more fiercely. However, this tripod became even more ancient and simple, emitting a mysterious aura. The runes on the tripod wall lit up one after another, as if burning spontaneously.
The roars of various fierce birds and beasts were heard. Although they were very faint, they were really not illusions. And at this time, the tripod wall gradually became transparent and began to refine the golden liquid inside.
The Golden Lion trembled. Its angry roar hurt people's eardrums. Originally a divine virtual body, but now the sound really echoed in the village, making people fearful. It was making a final struggle. Standing upright, it spit out lightning bolts, as if it was really going to break through the tripod wall.
The black large tripod trembled. The ancient ancestors on the tripod wall became even more real. Sacrificial sounds were heard, and then the sounds of reciting scriptures were heard continuously.
"This large vessel passed down from our ancestors seems to really be an extraordinary medicinal tripod!" Village Chief Shi Yunfeng was shocked. He never thought that this humble black tripod used on ordinary days was so divine and strange.
At the same time, there were even more light dots on the little one in the golden liquid. Dense and numerous, it was as if groups of deities emerged and sat there reciting scriptures, resonating with this tripod.
The Golden Lion was afraid and trembled continuously. Then it was disintegrated. The black tripod refined it into rays of golden divine beams and submerged them into the golden liquid inside the tripod.
Finally, everything calmed down. The tripod lid was tightly sealed, sealing the medicinal tripod. The outside world could no longer see the situation inside.
"Alright, the tripod is finally sealed. If there are no accidents, the little one will succeed!" Shi Yunfeng said, very excited.
"Village chief, how long will this probably take?" Shi Feijiao asked.
"It's hard to say. The time span of the bath is very large, ranging from one day to three months." Shi Yunfeng frowned.
"What?" Everyone was stunned. No wonder the old village chief asked them to chop the Black Flood Dragon Wood and insisted on preparing this kind of firewood.
For a whole day and night, the golden liquid was boiling and never dried up. The little one floated up and down inside, his whole body bright red, as if about to drip blood. The golden liquid continuously entered his body through the pores and then brought out some turbid substances, undergoing the bath repeatedly.
This was a terrifying process, extremely violent. How could an ordinary child withstand it? They would be painfully dead!
The golden liquid didn't simply rinse but rushed into the body and frantically impacted. It was like breaking bones and grinding flesh. Cutting off tendons and veins was a common occurrence.
The little one gritted his teeth and remained motionless. He led the golden liquid to bathe his flesh, from the outside to the inside. His whole body shone. Although it was extremely painful, he felt more and more energetic.
The divine radiance impacted 霸道 ly, almost cracking his internal organs. But in the end, they were all nourished and had a crystal-like luster. As for the bones, which were almost broken, they were eventually repaired and became even more solid, white and brilliant. Moreover, not only the flesh was bathed, but the divine power also nourished the spirit.
For a whole day and night, the little one underwent an unimaginable transformation!
When dawn arrived, he opened his eyes and shouted, "Grandpa, the liquid is almost dry."
"It's done!" Shi Yunfeng was overjoyed and asked someone to uncover the tripod lid. They saw that the little one's whole body was transparent and his pores emitted brilliant light. The villagers were all surprised. Needless to say, the little one had received great benefits.
Shi Yunfeng hesitated for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare the crimson precious horn of the Fiery Bull Demon and the arm of the Evil Ape. Let's draw the blood!"
Shi Linhu drew out the ancient true blood contained in the crimson precious horn that was as red as rosy clouds and released the black liquid inside the ape's arm, pouring it into the tripod.
"Moo!"
In an instant, the roar of the wild bull made people's scalps tighten and almost collapse to the ground.
"Roar..."
Then came another long howl of the demon. A demon ape appeared in the tripod, angry together with the crimson Fiery Bull Demon, hitting the large tripod.
Then, that golden most precious heart also once again gave rise to a Golden Lion. With thousands of golden rays, it charged together with them.
"Cover the tripod lid!" The old village chief commanded.
This time it was even more intense. The three true bloods were mixed together. The crimson Fiery Bull Demon, the golden Golden Lion, and the black Evil Ape were all ancient remnant species. They struggled and collided violently, trying to break this tripod.
The ancient ancestors on the tripod wall appeared again. Sacrificial sounds were heard and countless sounds of reciting scriptures rose and fell one after another, suppressing the three ancient remnant species.
The little one inside was the same. There were countless light dots in his body. His bones and internal organs pulsed, like a sonorous divine sound, emitting precious radiance and resonating with the black large tripod.
Both the person and the tripod were very brilliant, emitting various runes and sounds of the Dao. Here, clouds rose and rosy clouds filled the air. Streams of light and colors were everywhere, a brilliant scene.
This process lasted for two days and two nights. Finally, everything calmed down. The tripod lid was knocked open and the little one leaped over twenty meters high into the sky.
"Burnt, burnt!" He kept rubbing his bottom. His whole body was black. Only his pair of big eyes rolled around, very smart. The rest of him was like smeared with charcoal, like a naughty monkey.
The villagers were all stunned. Just now, the little one had hit the heavy tripod lid and leaped into the sky with it. He actually jumped so high, that was over twenty meters.
The old village chief laughed heartily. He knew it was a success. The little one's practice was complete. After calming down a little, he shouted, "Quickly, remove the fire under the tripod and add water quickly. The remaining medicinal roots are still rare precious medicines!"
The little one landed on the ground. A group of children surrounded him, pinching and touching him. They all teased and laughed. Some also brought clear water to help him wash.
People were astonished to discover that he had shed a layer of old skin. After the black charred skin was peeled off, a small, white and crystal clear body was revealed, flowing with precious light.
"Wow, little one, are you a silkworm? How did you shed such a thick layer of skin?" A group of children shouted. Several little girls also squeezed into the crowd. Looking at his transparent and lustrous body, they were extremely envious.
The little one blushed. He quickly snatched a piece of clothing and put it on, causing everyone to laugh.
"Child, let us see what kind of changes you have undergone." An elder of the clan said.
Shi Linhu and others strode over, each extending their huge hands, touching up and down. They all marveled and felt that it was like touching a piece of warm jade.
The little one's small face was red. He was actually flicked on his little bird. These adults still treated him like a baby when he was just born. He struggled hard and pushed with force, almost pushing Shi Feijiao to the ground.
A group of adults laughed heartily. But Shi Feijiao was shocked and said, "Don't laugh. This little fellow's strength is truly astonishing!"
You know, when he swung his arms, he had a divine power of five or six thousand catties. But he was almost pushed over by a child under four years old. How could this not shock him.
"Come, little one. Come and lift the tripod and test how strong your flesh is." Village Chief Shi Yunfeng said.
"OK!" The little one felt relieved as if granted amnesty. He quickly got rid of a group of big men who were laughing and touching him everywhere and ran to the side.
"Rise!"
The little one lifted the one-thousand-catty copper tripod and advanced all the way. Then he actually lifted the five-thousand-catty black gold tripod. All the people of Stone Village were petrified.
You know, the little one was very extraordinary in the past. Being able to lift the one-thousand-catty copper tripod was already very astonishing. Now he actually lifted the five-thousand-catty black gold tripod in one breath, shocking a group of people to the point of being speechless.
"This is not his limit. Again!" Village Chief Shi Yunfeng trembled. One can imagine how excited he was.
"Boom"
In the last attempt to lift the tripod, the little one lifted the heaviest tripod of the clan above his head. It was an eight-thousand-catty tripod engraved with a terrifying fierce beast.
Everyone was shocked. At this age and with such divine power, it had never been heard of before!
"Child, when you grow up, if you don't hunt back a real ancient fierce beast - the True Qilin, which was a kind of deity worshipped by the ancient ancestors, for me, you will be sorry for me!" Shi Linhu came to his senses and shouted.
