The cauldron wall glowed and a series of engraved pictures emerged: towering mountains, the rotation of the sun and moon, ancient ancestors sacrificing to the heavens. The sound was grand, sacred and solemn.
It was as if one had returned to the ancient times and heard the chanting of the gods.
On the cauldron, ancient fierce beasts such as the Chisel Dragon and Pi Xiu were lifelike, carrying a fierce aura, as if they wanted to leap out through the cauldron wall, making one's soul tremble.
This was truly astonishing. This cauldron seemed to have a spirit!
"This is... a supreme treasure!" The old village chief's voice trembled. The ancestral medicine cauldron was so extraordinary.
There were crystal-clear liquids on the inner wall of the cauldron, like drops of nectar. Although there were few, they emitted a fragrant aroma, making one's entire body comfortable and the pores stretching.
Using the golden blood of the Zhu Yan as the main medicine had an extremely astonishing effect. It actually made the ancestral ancient cauldron and manifested such anomalies. A group of people were dumbfounded.
The old village chief had heard some secrets and legends and said: "This cauldron is extremely precious. It has refined rare precious medicines. Over the years, the cauldron wall has continuously absorbed the medicinal properties and integrated them. Now that the golden blood of the Zhu Yan has fallen in, it resonates."
The inside of the cauldron boiled. The pale-golden medicinal liquid was extremely fragrant and accompanied by sacrificial sounds and the chanting of the gods, appearing very mysterious, as if a furnace of divine medicine was about to be produced.
"Good, good, good!" A group of village elders' bodies were trembling. They stretched out their wrinkled old hands and wanted to touch this cauldron. It was so divine and strange.
On the cauldron wall, those drops of nectar slid down and merged into the boiling medicinal liquid, making the aroma even stronger. The villagers all widened their eyes and watched carefully.
"This is the 'medicine root'. It is nourishing this furnace of medicinal liquid now!"
This cauldron has refined many precious medicines in the past and has been nourished with abundant medicinal properties, integrated into the cauldron. Now the liquid drops emerging on the cauldron wall are the "medicine roots" accumulated over the years, which can improve the quality of the medicinal liquid being refined in the cauldron.
A cauldron that can produce "medicine roots" must be a precious treasure, invaluable. It cannot be exchanged for any precious treasures. At this point, it has become intelligent and can autonomously absorb the divine essence between heaven and earth and adsorb it within the cauldron wall. This medicine root is a combination of the accumulated medicinal properties and the divine essence of heaven and earth, with endless wonderful uses.
Sure enough, after the medicine roots slid down, the pale-golden liquid became even more fragrant, making the medicinal liquid in this cauldron crystal clear and shiny. Just smelling it made one feel refreshed and clear-headed, with the skin and bones transparent and comfortable.
"This is already considered a furnace of precious medicine!" Shi Linhu exclaimed, almost unable to believe that a mere village could refine such a medicinal liquid.
A group of children involuntarily drooled. The medicinal juice was too fragrant. They wished to drink a mouthful immediately. Now they felt that their tongues were about to melt in the saliva.
"Squeak..."
The fur ball was also restless, jumping up and down and nearly falling into the cauldron. Little One hurriedly caught it.
"Although we are just a village and do not have the blood and precious bones of ancient relic species, as well as many rare and precious medicinal herbs, with this cauldron and the golden blood of the Zhu Yan, the refined medicinal agent is not bad either." Shi Feijiao clenched his fist, very excited.
Little One did not hide his background from the villagers and had already told them. Another group of people sighed and all encouraged him, hoping that he would rise rapidly in the wild.
Shi Yi, with the talent of ancient sages and gods, and even obtaining the Supreme Bone, was destined to far surpass ordinary geniuses. Born in a noble family, cultivated with the power of the entire clan, he was bound to be extremely terrifying.
Even the villagers knew about him. Facing such a heaven-gifted opponent, anyone would feel uneasy. They naturally hoped that Little One would soar quickly.
"That little brat Shi Yi is in a noble family and can mobilize endless resources. He will not lack the blood of ancient relic species, rare and precious medicinal herbs, etc. Growing up like this is truly terrifying."
Now he was over nine years old, almost ten. Needless to say, he was destined to be like a brilliant divine sun, hanging above the ancient country, shining brightly and attracting everyone's attention.
Shi Linhu snorted and said: "Our Stone Village is not bad either. With this ancestral cauldron, the refined precious medicine is not weaker than others and can definitely contend against it."
"True. That glorious ancient country originated from Stone Village and walked out from here. Now, we start anew and see whether the genius of that branch is stronger or the people of the ancestral land are more powerful." Several village elders were like old children, unwilling to admit defeat. They told the villagers to rummage through chests and cabinets and find all the ancient objects passed down from ancestors to see if they could find some extraordinary things.
"Boom" The medicine cauldron vibrated and sprayed out sheets of radiance. The Zhu Yan blood dyed the entire cauldron pale-golden and the medicinal liquid boiled vigorously.
This place was filled with steaming mist and flowing rosy clouds, looking splendid and beautiful. The fragrant aroma was refreshing and made one feel as if they were about to ascend and become immortals.
"How fragrant!" Everyone gulped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, all looking forward to it. A group of children were constantly sniffing with their small noses.
The cauldron wall was brilliant. The sacrifices of the ancient ancestors were heard again, extremely grand. The ancient fierce birds and beasts were fierce and the gods were blurred, all scattering radiance, mysterious and unfathomable.
The medicine cauldron shook and the fire below automatically extinguished. The pale-golden medicinal liquid was ready!
"Squeak..." Before Little One moved, the golden Zhu Yan couldn't resist and was ready to "start first", wanting to taste it.
"Fur Ball, this medicine was refined using your blood as the main medicine. Do you still want to drink your own blood?" Er Meng asked.
This made the fur ball feel troubled. It scratched its ears and cheeks but couldn't resist the temptation of the medicinal fragrance. It snatched a porcelain bowl from the villagers' hands and directly scooped it up, gulping and drinking.
"Drink your own blood too?"
"Squeak..." The fur ball squeaked non-stop, meaning that it was no big deal. I just like it.
When Little One drank a bowl of the golden medicinal liquid, he immediately felt as if a flame had risen within his body. His whole body glowed and then he sweated profusely. In just an instant, he was like someone pulled out of water. Vapor rose from his body, radiance spilled out, his skin was crystal clear and his bones crackled.
The medicinal potency was truly too strong. It immediately gave him a distinct feeling. His limbs and bones seemed to be being tempered. All the congestion in his body receded. The bruises quickly healed and the bones inside his body also glowed white.
Strands of sunlight emerged, turning into clusters of light mist and submerging Little One. It took a long time for it to disperse.
"How is it?" A group of villagers looked at him expectantly.
"The effect is extremely good." Little One said.
The village chief scooped out another bowl and handed it to Little One for him to drink. During the childhood years when tempering the physical body, one must adjust the body well, otherwise, it will leave hidden troubles and cause big problems in the future.
Obviously, such a cauldron of medicinal liquid could not be consumed by Little One alone. A group of children holding small bowls all received a share and quickly poured it into their mouths. However, compared to Little One, their physical bodies had a significant gap. Just after drinking a big mouthful, radiance sprayed from their mouths and noses and they felt as if they were on fire.
"Owowu..."
These kids jumped and hopped together, rushed towards the lake. With the sounds of plop and splash, they all plunged into the water. Otherwise, their bodies would be hot and feel as if they were burning.
This night, they couldn't rest peacefully. After only drinking a small half bowl, they soaked in the lake until dawn.
A cauldron of medicinal liquid was boiled into a thick juice. The majority entered Little One's stomach and the rest was shared by the children and adults. Of course, the three young birds were not left out either. All of them glowed and were extremely hot. This was a sleepless night.
Little One slept very soundly. His internal organs were crystal clear and his bones were white, as if they had been washed. When he woke up in the morning, he found his body sticky. Those were all discharged from within his body.
He picked up a set of clean clothes and placed them by the lake. Then he jumped in with a plop, immediately startling a group of children whose eyes were as red as rabbits.
"You guys are really early." Little One greeted.
"Wuwu... We haven't slept yet." A group of children said pitifully. However, they were not tired but rather energetic. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been soaking here.
"Oh, you continue. I'm going to exercise." A new day began. After Little One ate breakfast and dinner, he rushed towards the group of chaotic stone waterfalls.
Day after day passed. Little One left early and returned late.
The waterfalls were like a galaxy, deafening. They fell from the chaotic stone mountains. Little One, against the white waterfalls, climbed up with difficulty.
"Bang!"
When stones weighing several hundred catties rolled down, he no longer dodged but let them hit his body. Grabbing the rock wall, he climbed up. In just three months, he developed a body of copper tendons and iron bones.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a boulder weighing several thousand catties rolled down from above. Although it did not fall from the highest point, when it rushed down with the waterfall like this, the momentum was astonishing. Clearly it was several thousand catties but as long as it hit, it would be at least a force of tens of thousands of catties.
Little One was submerged by the white waterfall. On the cliff, only a raised white dot remained. But his spiritual sense was extremely strong and he sensed the crisis. However, this time he did not dodge but relied on his physical body to resist.
With a "thud", the boulder fell and hit his back, making a dull sound. White waves soared into the sky, creating a vast expanse.
Little One did not activate the bone inscriptions, but his physical body had a certain crystal luster and emitted a hazy radiance. He withstood it with his body and succeeded!
His body shook violently. The hazy precious light receded. Although his back was in severe pain, no bones were injured. He withstood it and it was truly astonishing!
This was the result of months of hard work. Day after day of bitter cultivation and tempering the physical body. Without the need to activate the bone inscriptions, the physical body automatically emitted a layer of precious light. This was pure blood qi power, protecting the body by itself.
"Is this the true meaning of the Blood-Moving Realm that the Willow God mentioned?" Little One murmured to himself.
What the Willow God said was the same as the current realm name, but the result of the cultivation was completely different. It was measured by the standards of ancient fierce beasts.
Just like this, day after day, month after month, Little One left early and returned late. Every day he was covered in injuries. But with the ancient recipe from the Willow God and often refining precious medicine and drinking the pale-golden thick juice, he would recover instantly.
He was still handsome and pretty, with a fair and tender little face and lively big eyes. But his physical body became increasingly powerful. When attacked, blood qi rolled like transporting the celestial gang. The physical body was crystal clear. Ordinary boulders hitting him would be directly shaken away, unable to harm him at all.
In the blink of an eye, it had been almost a year of cultivation and Little One was about to turn seven.
In the early morning, among the chaotic stone waterfalls, Little One held a boulder weighing tens of thousands of catties with one arm and climbed with one arm and both legs, against the vast waterfall and the rolling stones, climbing upwards.
"Thud!"
Some stones rolled down and hit, but they couldn't 击退 him. His figure was very stable. Like a divine ape, he rushed upwards rapidly. Neither the waves nor the boulders could knock him down.
Finally, he climbed onto the stone mountain and stood there. His whole body emitted precious light. This nearly one-year of cultivation had brought about a terrifying transformation in his physical body. He was able to do this step a month ago. Recently, it was just consolidation.
"Rise!"
Above the vast waterfall, a small figure, facing the morning glow, lifted a boulder weighing one hundred thousand catties. The whole body was brilliant and the physical body emitted precious light.
This scene startled the nearby fierce beasts to roar and the fierce birds to strike the sky. All trembled, frightened by that small figure.
In the morning glow, that small figure was very brilliant, emitting a terrifying aura. Standing on the waterfall like a young god, there was an indescribable charm about him.
Only the young of celestial-level ancient fierce beasts could achieve this. One hundred thousand catties was the extreme realm. Little One broke through to this step!
