"Brother Jiao, isn't carrying it a little too much? You don't need such a big cauldron to cook meat, right?" Ye Xuan grinned as he watched Shi Feijiao carry a cauldron that weighed thousands of kilograms and was nearly two meters tall.
"Haha, this isn't for cooking meat. It's for those stinky brats to use in their medicinal baths. Aiya, I'm so tired! Bang! " As he spoke, Shi Feijiao put down the cauldron in his hands. With a dull thud, the entire ground trembled and sank by an inch.
"So it's for the medicinal baths. Alright, I'll go and help!" Ye Xuan nodded and walked towards the place where Shi Feijiao was carrying the cauldron. That was the village's yard for storing miscellaneous items. It was filled with cauldrons, rare beast bones, and the like.
Soon, Ye Xuan came back with two cauldrons in each hand, easily carrying four cauldrons.
"Amazing!" Shi Feijiao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up when he saw Ye Xuan carrying four cauldrons that he had painstakingly carried over like little chicks.
Soon, six two-meter tall cauldrons and a one-meter tall small cauldron were set up in the open space in the village. Below them was a raging fire, and the water inside the cauldron was boiling. A few village elders took out strands of strange medicinal herbs, even centipedes that were a few feet long, black snakes with a single horn, spiders the size of fists, and blue toads the size of palm-leaf fans. All of them were thrown into the cauldron, causing the clear water to turn black. It looked extremely frightening.
"Silly brats, come and take a medicinal bath!" The village elders placed the medicinal herbs and poisonous insects in the cauldron as they shouted at the mischievous brats.
Hua! ~ ~ ~
"Ah, no …" It would have been better if they hadn't shouted. With this shout, the mischievous brats who were happily playing around all fled.
"A bunch of silly brats, you really don't know how lucky you are. These are rare treasured medicines. After taking a medicinal bath, your muscles and bones will become even stronger. In the future, you might even be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with vicious beasts." The adults were very dissatisfied with this group of mischievous brats. As they scolded them, they grabbed them back.
"No, Dad, I'm scared!"
"Dad, let me go, or I'll be cooked!"
The group of devilish brats struggled with all their might, but how could they escape from the clutches of the adults? Even the little guy was brought over by Shi Yunfeng.
"Hug, hug!" Seeing Ye Xuan, Xiao Budian blinked his large eyes and stretched out his arms.
"Chief, the little guy also wants to undergo a medicinal bath?" Ye Xuan walked over, took Xiao Budian into his hands, and patted his little butt. Looking at the boiling water, he frowned and said, "Isn't the water too hot? Can Xiao Budian take it?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. The little guy is not as weak as you think. His physique is very good, and not only can he resist the heat of the water, he can also absorb the medicinal properties of the precious medicine within the cauldron. This will make his body even stronger." Shi Yunfeng faintly smiled. He was not the least bit worried for Xiao Budian, "Moreover, the medicinal bath is not this hot. Once the medicinal liquid is done, the fire will be extinguished. Once the temperature of the water drops, they will be allowed to enter."
Hearing Shi Yunfeng's words, Ye Xuan thought for a bit, but did not say anything else. After all, he knew about Xiao Budian's background. Although he looked weak right now, not even one year old, he was already two or three years old. It was only because he was stripped of his Supreme Being Bone that his body degenerated, that he became like this.
Originally, after being stripped of his Supreme Being Bone, he might have died. However, his vitality was extremely tenacious, and he defied the heavens and survived.
While he was talking with Shi Yunfeng, they saw the villagers bring over some clay jars. Several elders carefully received them, opened them, and poured the blood that flickered with precious splendor inside.
This blood was all extracted from a few vicious beasts' blood essence. It was extremely precious, and a small jar was enough to exchange for a broadsword that weighed several hundred jin. However, it was now being used as a medicinal bath for the children to strengthen their physiques.
Apart from this blood essence, the elders also crushed the Dragon Horned Elephant's horn, the Flying Python's wing bones, and the Silver Sky Wolf's beast bones with great effort and threw them into the copper cauldrons.
Finally, it was Shi Yunfeng's turn to take out the Silver Sky Wolf's True Blood that he had just extracted. He shattered the Silver Sky Wolf formed from the True Blood and took out a small portion and placed it into the six large cauldrons, while the rest was placed into the small cauldron.
This small copper cauldron was intended for Xiao Budian to use alone. Although he alone used up most of the Silver Sky Wolf's True Blood, the villagers did not feel that Shi Yunfeng was biased.
This was because they all knew that this Truth Blood was not something ordinary people could enjoy. The medicinal strength was fierce, and even if it was only a small ball, it was enough to make an adult scream in pain when absorbing it, let alone a child. However, Xiao Budian was able to endure this kind of medicinal strength.
When the fire was extinguished, the water within the copper cauldrons no longer boiled. After the water temperature dropped a bit, all of the devilish children were mercilessly thrown into the copper cauldrons by their families' adults.
"Ah, save me!"
"It's cooked, it's cooked! Dad, hurry and save me!"
"Ah, it hurts like I'm being cut by a knife. Mom, I want to go out, I want to go home!"
One devilish child after another struggled within the cauldrons and miserably screamed. They wanted to jump out from the copper cauldrons, but there were adults standing guard beside them, and they were all ruthlessly suppressed.
The little guy did not escape either. He was carried over by Shi Yunfeng and placed into the small copper cauldron. The medicinal water within the cauldron submerged his body, and only his little head remained above the water.
At this time, the little guy displayed an extremely extraordinary trait. Although he was small, he did not struggle like the other children. Although his face showed pain, he did not utter a sound. The most astonishing thing was that his body was unexpectedly flickering with precious splendor. Faintly discernible patterns flickered on his body. If not for Ye Xuan's exceptional eyesight, he would have almost missed it.
"As expected of a natural born supreme being. Even if he lost his supreme being bone, there is still a supreme being's divinity left within his body. This kind of physique is truly too shocking." Looking at the little Shi Hao who was in so much pain that his little face was tightly wrinkled, Ye Xuan couldn't help but say inwardly.
The medicinal bath lasted for quite a while. When all of the children were lifted out from the copper cauldrons, they were all soaked like red-skinned monkeys. It was a tragic sight to behold, and tears flowed from their eyes as if they were about to be cooked.
"Bring them back to sleep. They should be able to regain quite a bit of strength tomorrow." Shi Yunfeng waved his hand and said.
When the villagers brought the children away, Shi Yunfeng and the other elders did not leave. Instead, they began to clean up the leftover medicinal liquid within the copper cauldrons.
These medicinal liquids were all refined from precious medicines and precious blood. Although some of the medicinal power had been absorbed, the remaining medicinal power was still extremely astonishing. With the addition of some special medicinal herbs and blood essence, they could become medicinal powders after being dried.
These medicinal powders were all precious medicines for treating injuries. Normally, if one was injured while hunting in the mountains, these medicinal powders could save one's life.
By the time all of the medicinal powders were boiled and everything was cleaned up, it was already past midnight. The villagers had all gone to sleep. Only the willow tree at the village entrance emitted a divine chain of green multicolored light. A halo of light pervaded the air and enveloped the entire village. It made the entire Stone Village hazy, as if it was a fairyland.
