A mere palm-sized piece of black dragonwood, when burned, can cook a large pot of meat until it's mushy.
On ordinary days, smelting ores and forging weapons are the best sources of fire.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan was about to prepare a medicinal bath for Little Dot and all the young children in Stone Village.
Men, women, and children in the village all stood up and generously brought out all the precious wood, piling it under the large cauldron for consumption.
"Open it for me!!"
In the open space of Stone Village, there were elderly men, whose muscles were no less muscular than those of the members of the Stone Village hunting team.
He was wielding a fine iron axe, chopping wood with a loud shout.
Black dragonwood is exceptionally tough. With most members of the hunting team following Stone Forest Tiger toward Wolf Village, Stone Village is now short-handed.
The elderly people of Shicun couldn't resist joining in either.
“Clang clang~!”
Despite his advanced age, the old man from Shicun was no less muscular than the members of the hunting team.
Even in terms of their mastery of bone script, these elderly people who have lived for decades are even more advanced.
At first, they indeed cleaved the black dragonwood into firewood with unstoppable momentum.
However, as time went by, the old man of Stone Village soon became too weak to cut down the tough black dragonwood.
The old man from Stone Village stared at the heavy axe blow that had only left a trail of sparks on the black dragonwood.
Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly, then made a sword shape with his fingers and gently swung it.
“Swish, swish, swish!!!”
With a flick of his sword, countless subtle sword intents, resembling soft leaves, burst forth from the tip of Zhou Xuan's fingertip in an instant.
The moment a wisp of sword intent from the "Grass Sword Technique" burst forth, it multiplied into ten, then into a hundred, then into millions, drifting towards the resilient black dragonwood.
Faced with the sword intent of the "Grass Character Sword Technique," which is as soft as a blade of grass, the black dragon wood, so hard that even when the old man of Stone Village activated the bone script, could only leave a series of sparks on the wood.
It was as if it were soft tofu, crumbling at the slightest touch, instantly sliced open by that soft, grass-like sword intent, turning it all into the most easily ignited firewood.
"Wow, what a powerful sword!"
Staring at the black dragonwood firewood scattered all over the ground after being chopped in an instant, the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng's eyes widened, and he spoke in astonishment:
"Soft as grass, yet it easily sliced through the black dragonwood, which was as hard as refined iron."
"Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, Xiao Zhouxuan..."
At this point, the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng turned to Zhou Xuan and asked:
"You didn't use any power beyond the Blood Transformation Realm in that sword strike just now, did you?!"
"Just a casual sword strike."
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan nodded slightly and honestly addressed the patriarch, Shi Yunfeng:
"If the Divine Dawn of the Blood Transformation Realm were used, how could it only possess this much power?!"
Zhou Xuan stated that power is a completely different thing in the hands of different people.
With the same physical strength of two thousand jin, Zhou Xuan, possessing the memories of the Heavenly Emperor and various immortal scriptures, could naturally unleash far greater power than ordinary people.
"Pong!"
After casually responding to the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng,
Zhou Xuan stepped forward, raised his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, his powerful divine sense forcibly altered the properties of the essence of heaven and earth.
In the next instant, a scarlet flame appeared on Zhou Xuan's fingertip and slowly drifted down onto the already chopped black dragon wood firewood.
"Pong!!!"
A crimson flame, about the size of a little fingertip, drifted onto the black dragonwood firewood the instant it touched the surface.
The black dragonwood, which originally required the time it takes for a raging incense stick to burn to ignite, suddenly burst into flames and emitted terrifying heat.
The scorching heat, the terrifying temperature, violently and endlessly baked the liquefied essence within the large bronze cauldron.
"Loneliness gurgles away!!"
In just a moment, the liquefied essence in the cauldron had already boiled over.
The moment the cauldron boiled, the black cauldron that Tiger Girl and her companions had moved over, guided by the old man of Stone Village, also exuded an ancient and timeless aura.
I sensed a vast aura that seemed to have surged forth from the very beginning of time.
Zhou Xuan looked up and carefully examined the black bronze cauldron.
The body of the tripod is engraved with images of the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and even scenes of ancient people's sacrifices, making it look very mysterious.
Clearly, Stone Village, which is able to allow a Willow God of the Celestial King level to take root, is not as ordinary as it appears on the surface.
Ishimura should also have its own glory.
However, nothing lasts forever.
The once glorious Shicun village has gradually returned to tranquility over the long years.
However, the temporary calm is merely a means to accumulate strength for climbing to even greater heights.
Putting everything else aside, if Shi Hao can fully mature, he will be able to lead Shi Village to even greater glory.
While pondering, he followed the drug compatibility guidelines.
Using the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art," he expanded his divine sense and gathered all the ancient medicinal herbs guarded by primordial species, throwing them into the cauldron.
Each medicinal herb, which would be considered a top-tier treasure even in a large clan with a population of millions, was added into the cauldron.
A refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately filled the large, dark bronze cauldron.
However, whether it is the method of "attaining enlightenment in a dream" or the various prescriptions given by the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng.
Aside from the herbs, the most important thing is the precious blood of the ancient species used to stimulate the potential of the human body.
If it does not contain the precious blood of a ferocious and untamed beast, then this cauldron is merely a nourishing medicinal meal, not a baptismal bath.
Of course, this was only for the baptism needed by Shi Hao and others who had not yet broken through the limits of physical strength.
If Zhou Xuan were to undergo a baptism, at the very least, the blood essence of a pure-blooded ferocious beast would be required.
"Stab!!"
Having pondered this, Zhou Xuan's thoughts stirred slightly.
The next instant, the wolf village sacrificial spirit, who had been killed by the little one, was now being dismembered, its flesh and bones smashed and ground into powder by the old man of Stone Village.
It was instantly torn apart by blades of sword intent that resembled grass leaves.
Immediately following, drops of blood gushed out from the old wolf's corpse, condensing into a fist-sized, scarlet blood essence through endless tempering.
"Let the first prey we hunt with our own hands be the first ferocious beast blood essence we've been baptized and bathed in along this journey!"
At this point, Zhou Xuan looked up, gazing into the depths of the Great Wilderness, and slowly began to speak:
"As fellow neighbors in the Great Wilderness, I humbly request that you lend me a wisp of your blood essence."
As he spoke, Zhou Xuan's overwhelming divine sense, which was even more terrifying and vast than that of the emperor of a great nation, burst forth, and a violent pressure surged down.
Within the range of divine sense, almost all the ancient remnants stared wide-eyed in horror toward the direction of Stone Village.
In that instant, they clearly sensed that a being even more terrifying than a Venerable had appeared in the direction of Stone Village.
All the ancient species that sensed Zhou Xuan's divine thought clearly realized that as long as the owner of that divine thought made the slightest thought, he could completely annihilate them.
At that very moment, Zhou Xuan's calm yet subtly murderous divine sense surged forth:
"Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"
In the vast wilderness, the strong reign supreme.
As soon as the words were spoken, the old Suanni closest to Stone Village instantly knelt down and willingly spat out a mouthful of blood essence; apart from the old Suanni within a radius of a hundred miles.
The ancient remnants of the Fire Demon Bull, Demon Ape, and Dragon Turtle also knelt down, offering their blood essence...
Chapter 88
The scarlet blood essence, once spat out by the ancient remnant species, would be imprisoned by Zhou Xuan's powerful divine sense.
In an instant, all rivers converged.
Streams of scarlet blood, like gushing springs, converged on Stone Village from all directions, pouring into the pitch-black cauldron.
"Pong!!!"
As the blood essence of the ancient remnant species surged into the Great Black Cauldron under Zhou Xuan's divine sense restraint, the black dragon wood beneath the cauldron, which was burning fiercely, burned even more intensely, as if oil had been poured into the fire.
Blazing flames erupted.
Scarlet flames licked at the large black cauldron.
In that instant, the various primordial beasts carved on the large black cauldron that had been passed down through countless generations in this Stone Village seemed to come back to life, faintly emitting bursts of howls.
The roar of a ferocious beast faintly echoed at the same time.
It seems to be the sound of sacrificial rituals passed down from ancient times.
It also originated from the great black cauldron, and resounded loudly.
"boom!!!"
at the same time,
Inside the cauldron, the essence of heaven and earth that Zhou Xuan had plundered from a hundred miles around was compressed into liquefied essence. Under the influence of the medicinal properties, it mixed with the blood essence of the ancient remnant species, promoting each other.
In an instant, a dazzling array of colors—gold, black, silver, and blood—burst forth from the large black cauldron.
That was the essence and blood of all those within the Great Wilderness who sensed the pressure of Zhou Xuan's divine will, whether forced or voluntary.
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine kinds, a mixture of ancient blood essence and other elements."
Gazing at the colorful rain of light and inhaling its intoxicating fragrance, Zhou Xuan spoke:
"A thousand precious medicines complement each other and are blended into one."
"This precious medicine is complete!"
