Chapter 6, Preparation

"Uncle, you are back!" He tilted his small face up, fair and tender, with clear and bright eyes, politely greeting a group of people

An elderly man analyzed: "Those great tribes are indeed powerful, with experts in abundance. They can certainly hunt down the terrifying and boundless ferocious beasts, using the rare true blood of ancient relic species to temper and purify the bodies of those exceptionally gifted children. Otherwise, the gap between them and the little ones might be even greater."

The small figure, Shi Hao, threw the bronze cauldron to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. He quickly retreated, avoiding the dust that was kicked up. The tremendous noise once again caused the villagers' hearts to tighten; this truly is a prodigy.

"No, I see it clearly; this is pure physical strength," said Shilin Hu, the leader of the hunting team.

This result is incredible; a three-year-old child lifted a thousand-pound cauldron. It is hard to find such a feat not only in the vicinity of these mountains but even at the farthest ends of the earth.

Shiyunfeng pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, among those powerful clans at the ends of the earth, children with innate talent typically undergo their first significant baptism at the age of five. They are sealed within a bronze furnace, where various sacred medicines and ancient true blood are used to refine their bodies, thereby enhancing their potential"

According to the records in the Bone Book, if there is sufficient holy medicine and true blood during the baptism at the age of five, and if the illustrations and texts are abundant and extraordinary, the foundation laid will have far-reaching implications, concerning future achievements. The patriarch, Shi Yunfeng, spoke softly

Shiyunfeng said: "I once encountered several exceptional children in a large tribe with a population of millions, endowed with extraordinary talents that left one astounded. They were already quite powerful at a young age, but I felt they were slightly inferior to the little ones."

In the future, if Shi Hao grows up, can he really defeat a true wolf and kill a pureblood adult lion in a one-on-one situation with his bare hands? Such legendary ancient ferocious beasts, if one were to appear, could easily annihilate a super clan

Here, these are the berries you love the most, specially picked for you by Uncle Shi Linhu. He handed over a beast skin pouch, and upon opening it, a vibrant red hue filled the air, accompanied by a fragrant aroma. Each round fruit resembled glistening red agates.

This demonstration has brought joy to the villagers, as the children are all very strong and possess immense potential. As for Shi Hao, he is an unexpected surprise, with a performance that is truly shocking

It is indeed a bit incredible; if it were not a human body, I would have thought that a cub of the ancient species, the true wolf, had come running in

The villagers were momentarily stunned upon hearing this, and then they all burst into laughter. This is a great blessing from heaven for Shicun! A child comparable to the cub of an ancient ferocious beast, if he were to grow up, what would that mean? Shicun would prosper because of him

"It is not a problem." Shi Yunfeng said with a smile, shaking his head

"Could it be that the mysterious power of the bone script is being invoked?" someone questioned

Several clan elders and those in the know, such as Shilin Hu, did not say much to Shi Hao. He was unaware that Shi Yunfeng was preparing for his "baptism" when he was five years old

The villagers came to their senses and began to discuss; the little one's performance was like a thunderclap across the sky, leaving them in a state of shock and awe.

A dozen or so brothers who shared life and death, only two returned covered in blood, and in the end, only the clan leader survived, yet he was left with lingering ailments. He had never spoken in detail about the events of those years, and the villagers had not pressed for further inquiries.

It is better to have none than to have something inferior; only high-quality true blood is of use to the little one. Unfortunately, the异种 are too rare and excessively powerful, making them difficult to deal with.

The crowd fell silent, and then nodded.

The patriarch's stone courtyard is located at the entrance of the village, and at this moment, Shi Hao is standing in front of the courtyard gate, observing the returning crowd

The domains are boundless and vast, and within the territories of those legendary super clans and certain nobles, there may be even more formidable children. After all, the world is too large, and what we know is merely a corner of it. As stated in the book "Shiyunfeng"

Everyone was momentarily taken aback. They all knew that the clan leader had left with some clan members years ago, having entered numerous prestigious families, and ultimately returned with some bone scripts at the cost of blood and life. Could these possibly compare to the legacies of those super clans?

Not long after, the scent of blood spread throughout the stone courtyard, where several fierce beasts lay, their bodies drenched in blood, and their forms gradually shriveling, shimmering with one mysterious rune after another.

Shilin Huda: "It is fine while still young, but if this continues, in the future, one will truly be unable to compare with the children of those prominent families."

In the evening, the villagers performed a ritual at the willow tree using the carcasses of beasts. Upon completion of the ceremony, several sentient prey were brought into the chief's courtyard

The villagers were all petrified, some in a daze. Although they had heard rumors and knew that the little one’s physique far surpassed that of his peers, they still did not expect his physical form to be so extraordinary

Requesting recommendations, the new book is making its first attempt to rank. Brothers and sisters, I need you to log into your Qidian accounts, click, vote, and add to favorites to show your support. This is very important for a new book. Thank you!

Under the slanting sun, the hunting party returned, each person shouldering a beast. Although some were injured, they all chatted and laughed.

When the crowd dispersed, several clan elders and important figures such as Shilin Hu remained, still earnestly discussing mhetushu.com, not having concluded the previous topic.

What exactly happened back then? Clearly, there is another hidden story.

Others let out a light sigh, for this is merely a village after all, how can it compare to those great tribes? It is impossible to find the sacred medicine or the legendary blood of ancient species.

He does not wish to waste Shi Hao's innate talent, nor does he want him to fall behind the geniuses of the super clans. He has been contemplating how to accumulate the precious items needed for his "baptism".

Thank you, Uncle. Shi Hao blinked his big eyes and happily accepted it.

An elder extinguished the fervor in his heart and said: "Having potential in childhood does not guarantee that one can truly become an extraordinary powerhouse. It is important to understand that many geniuses have withered away in their youth."

"Patriarch, have you been to some prosperous regions and seen children like this?"

"Grandfather, please do not overexert yourself; take care to rest." Xiao Shihou, with long eyelashes even more beautiful than those of a little girl, thoughtfully advised the elderly man to take a break

The villagers were all astonished, and even the clan leader, Shi Yunfeng, was taken aback. He had thought that at Shi Hao's current age, he would not be able to lift that large cauldron, but to his surprise, he had achieved it ahead of time

Shiyunfeng furrowed his brows and said, "Speaking of which, Shi Hao was born in our village and has some innate deficiencies, starting from a lower point. We are unable to provide him with the true blood of ancient species or the legendary mountain treasures, holy medicines, and so on, like those great clans can.

Boom

The patriarch, Shi Yunfeng, nodded and said, "I will find a way for this"

That was the bone script, now interwoven within the blood, like fine lightning streaking across. Shi Yunfeng was casting a spell, using mysterious powers to refine and extract the essence from the beast's blood, harvesting the "blood medicine." With continuous refining, the beast's blood diminished, and each ferocious beast ultimately only dripped a single drop, which fell into the jade jar, the blood droplets crystal clear and translucent, shining like blood diamonds.

Do your best to hunt some giant beasts, extract their precious blood, and gradually accumulate it in preparation for the little one's five-year ceremony, sighed an elder of the clan

Shilin frowned and mentioned another issue, saying: "If one wishes to stand shoulder to shoulder with those legendary formidable children, aside from establishing a solid foundation with the physical body, the inheritance of cultivation is also an important matter"

In the days that followed, the patriarch Shi Yunfeng was very busy every day, often refining various herbs. The furnace in the courtyard was never extinguished, and the aroma of medicine filled the air

Is this true? How could this little fellow, Shi Hao, possess such great strength? I have never heard of a child like this before

Indeed, Yunfeng, you have visited many powerful tribes; have you heard of such a prodigy? Even some of the elders could not remain seated, unable to resist inquiring, astonished by the performance of the little one
