In the evening.
The bonfire was burning.
The villagers in the mountain village were busy. Many women were making fires to cook.
The children, on the other hand, were running around the mountain village, having fun.
The mountain village had its own hunting team. The hunting team would go out to hunt every day.
Of course, they wouldn't go too far away, nor would they hunt beasts that were too powerful.
Everything was done according to their abilities.
There were also some young people cultivating in the valley not far away.
Every day, there would be elders teaching them how to cultivate.
The Undying Realm was a world where everyone cultivated.
Even the most ordinary mountain village had no ordinary people.
They would all cultivate. However, according to everyone's talent, their strength was also different.
Occasionally, some powerful people would come out of the small mountain village.
If they could join some ancient sects, their future achievements would be limitless.
Usually, after such a powerful person came out, the residents of the mountain village would also move out.
After all, they had someone to rely on.
It wouldn't be a problem to buy a mansion in the city and settle down the villagers.
…
The Snow Lady was playing with the children in the village.
She was smiling very happily.
Perhaps, she hadn't smiled so happily in a long time.
Although when these children invited the Snow Lady.
The Snow Lady wanted to reject them.
The innocence of children.
It could often purify the soul.
It seemed that this sentence was true.
Lin Feng chatted with a few men in the mountain village.
The mountain village was called Xia Village.
It was an extremely ancient mountain village.
They had been rooted here for a long time.
There were some cultivators with decent cultivation among their ancestors.
But the strongest person …
Was only at the Venerable Emperor level.
Venerable Emperors were naturally very powerful cultivators in the mortal world.
But in the Undying Realm, cultivators of this level were not considered strong.
Some of the ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests could easily kill Sovereigns.
Now, the most powerful person in Xia Village was the old village chief.
The old village chief only had one leg left, and he was leaning on a walking stick.
It was said that he fought with beasts when he was young.
One of his legs was bitten off by a beast.
The old village chief smoked a pipe and sat not far away, basking in the sun.
He was a man of few words.
He wondered if it was because he had lost his leg that he had become so quiet.
Or had he always been like this?
…
After dinner was ready, some people who had gone to train in the nearby valley came back to eat.
Not long after, the hunting villagers also returned, carrying more than ten ferocious beasts.
They would only keep a portion of the beast's meat.
The rest of the meat was preserved and sold in the city along with the fur.
Then, he would exchange them for some daily necessities and cultivation resources.
After dinner, Lin Feng and the snow maiden enjoyed the moonlight together.
Lin Feng discovered that the old village chief had ordered people to set up the table.
On the table, there were tributes laid out.
All the villagers came out.
They kowtowed to the offerings placed on the table.
"It looks like a sacrificial ceremony, but there's no statue. Why is that?" The Snow Lady asked in confusion.
Lin Feng said, "Maybe it's because of some taboo things, so they didn't put up the statue!"
After the ceremony, Lin Feng grabbed a young man's arm.
This young man was called Xia Zongyan, and he was the grandson of the old village chief.
Xia Zongyan's parents had passed away when he was young.
Xia Zongyan also had a brother called Xia Zongjun.
Both of them were very hardworking in their cultivation, and they looked very simple and honest.
Lin Feng asked, "Zongyan, what are you doing?"
Xia Zongyan said, "We are offering a sacrificial ceremony!"
"Why didn't you put up the statue?" Lin Feng asked.
Xia Zongyan said, "This is a rule set by our ancestors, but I don't know why it's like this!"
Lin Feng couldn't get any useful information from Xia Zongyan.
Even the villagers didn't know the exact reason.
In the past, some people might have known the reason.
But now, it was all a mystery.
However, this custom …
The Xia Family Village had maintained this custom until now.
After the sacrificial ceremony …
The old village chief ordered people to carry out the five ancient cauldrons.
There were many spiritual herbs in the cauldrons, and there was a pile of firewood below.
After pouring some water …
The old village chief ordered people to light the firewood.
In an instant …
The firewood burned fiercely.
The scorching flames burned the cauldrons.
Gradually, the herbs in the cauldrons dissolved.
They turned into medicinal liquid.
"Come, let's all soak …"
The old village chief said.
This was a medicinal bath, a very common method. It was mainly used by young cultivators to temper their bodies.
Lin Feng had also tried the medicinal bath when he was young.
Even now, the memory was still fresh in his mind.
The medicinal bath was a painful memory. His body was scalded until his skin was torn open.
Then, the medicinal liquid was quickly absorbed by his body, and his injuries healed quickly.
Of course, some big powers wouldn't let their children suffer like this.
Because those big powers had many amazing cultivation resources.
The effect was many times better than medicinal baths.
Medicinal baths were only used by some small powers.
Many children wailed.
They turned around and ran.
"Catch them all …"
The old village chief said.
Then …
Many adult villagers opened their mouths and chased after the escaping children.
In the village, children from six to thirteen years old had to soak in medicinal baths.
Because this was the stage of laying the foundation.
They let those children cry and scream.
But it was useless.
They were caught and brought back.
Then …
They were thrown into the cauldrons.
If anyone wanted to crawl out …
The old village chief would use the stick in his hand to hit them on the head.
Many adults laughed in schadenfreude.
Because they had also been through this.
Some "fathers" even specialized in tricking their "sons".
After the old village chief's stick hit them, they would add another stick.
The old village chief was very strict, because this was for their own good. The Undying World was very dangerous, and they had to make themselves stronger.
This way, their chances of survival would be greater.
"Eh …"
Lin Feng revealed a surprised expression, because he discovered that the five ancient cauldrons seemed to be somewhat extraordinary.
He walked towards the five ancient cauldrons.
Then, he carefully observed the five ancient cauldrons.
The five ancient cauldrons indeed had a very ancient origin, and many of the patterns on them were already extremely blurry.
Time had erased the patterns on them.
However …
Lin Feng still saw some extraordinary places on the five ancient cauldrons.
The faintly visible patterns contained the power of the Great Dao.
"It doesn't look like an ordinary cauldron …"
Lin Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself, he felt that the five ancient cauldrons might have a great origin.
Lin Feng stretched out his hand and released a strand of mana.
When Lin Feng's mana surged into the ancient cauldron in front of him.
The runes on the ancient cauldron flickered slightly.
Then.
A shocking scene appeared.
A small golden dragon appeared in the spirit liquid inside the ancient cauldron.
The small golden dragon swam back and forth around the ancient cauldron.
