The sun set in the west, already setting behind the mountain peak. It painted the clouds in the sky with a golden border, and the entire Stone Village was draped in a golden gauze. It looked like a temple cast in gold, dignified and solemn.
In this one year, aside from Ye Xuan, the entire Stone Village had changed a lot.
After a year of Ye Xuan's teachings, many of the Stone Village's villagers learned martial skills. Although the laws of heaven and earth were different, and they couldn't absorb spiritual energy to cultivate internal strength, with martial skills, most of the Stone Village's villagers were much stronger than they were a year ago. Especially since these villagers ate the flesh and blood of vicious beasts and birds of prey all year round, their muscles and bones were strengthened. Their arms could lift objects weighing over a thousand jin. With both strength and skill, their strength naturally increased greatly.
A year ago, if the villagers had to deal with an Earth Dragon by themselves, other than Shi Linghu and Shi Feijiao, the other villagers could only rely on bows and arrows to kill it, and they also needed a certain amount of luck.
But today, a year later, the majority of the villagers could already kill an Earth Dragon by themselves. Some villagers could even kill two or three Earth Dragons by themselves. As for Shi Linghu and Shi Feijiao, although they hadn't entered the Blood Movement Realm, their arms could lift six to seven thousand jin with a wave of their hands. They had already stepped into the Blood Movement Realm. After learning martial skills and movement techniques, it was as if they encountered ten Earth Dragons by themselves, they could already escape unscathed.
This was something that no one in Stone Village could have imagined a year ago. In the entire Stone Village, other than Ye Xuan and Shi Yunfeng, no one else had entered the Blood Movement Realm. However, their fighting strength had definitely increased by more than a level. This was especially true for people like Shi Linghu and Shi Feijiao. Although the two of them hadn't entered the Blood Movement Realm, if they were to truly fight against cultivators who had just entered the Blood Movement Realm, the ones who would lose would not necessarily be them.
This was the importance of martial skills. It was like two ordinary people with the same qualities. One of them didn't know anything, while the other had entered the army and learned the fighting techniques of the special forces. If the two of them encountered each other, it was easy to imagine who would win and who would lose.
Because of this change, Stone Village didn't have any food crisis in the past year. Sometimes, they could even take out some food to sell in Little Lonely Mountain Town and exchange it for some necessities in the village.
Also, because Ye Xuan went on a killing spree a year ago and killed several of the most powerful vicious beasts within a circumference of ten li, all of the powerful vicious beasts within a circumference of ten li had already retreated. Therefore, Stone Village was even safer this year. Not to mention attacking the village, even if there were truly vicious beasts that wanted to pass through the village, they would still take a detour on their own accord.
As he walked into the village, Ye Xuan habitually glanced at the willow tree that stood at the entrance of the village. Unfortunately, it was the same as it had been for the past year. The willow tree was still quiet and had not changed at all.
"Uncle Ye, you're back!" Seeing Ye Xuan walk in from the entrance of the village, the children who were playing in the village rushed over one by one.
"You mischievous monkeys, this, this is the Cloud Spirit Fruit I saw on the road today. One for each of you, don't eat too much. Give the rest to the chief, do you understand?" Seeing these children, Ye Xuan took out a bag of spirit fruits that he had picked on the road and gave it to Shi Dazhuang, who was in the lead.
Shi Dazhuang was the son of the villager Shi Zhuang. Although he was only six or seven years old, his physique was not bad. At such a young age, he could already flip over a large bull.
"Oh! There's something good to eat, hurry and run! " After receiving Ye Xuan's bag of Cloud Spirit Fruit, these children cheered. Then, they no longer surrounded Ye Xuan and happily ran off into the distance.
"Yiya, wait for me, I also want to eat …" Among the children that came with the group of children, there was a little fellow that was only about a year old. He looked white and tender, like a porcelain doll. Seeing his friends run off with something good to eat, he waved his little arms and legs and staggered as he ran.
"Tiny one, what do you think this is?" Seeing this little fellow, Ye Xuan smiled slightly. He took out another Cloud Spirit Fruit and shook it in front of the little fellow.
"Yiya, it's a fruit, I want to eat, eat, eat, eat!" Seeing the Cloud Spirit Fruit in Ye Xuan's hand, the little fellow's black eyes immediately lit up. Then, he turned around and ran over while drooling.
"You little fellow, you're really a foodie. You even forget about me when you see something good. Here, here you go!" Ye Xuan took two steps forward, hugged the little fellow, and patted his little butt. Then, he handed the Cloud Spirit Fruit that was the size of a baby's fist to him.
Seeing the Cloud Spirit Fruit, the little fellow did not care about the pain on his butt. He opened his little mouth and took a bite.
Children grow the fastest. A year ago, the little fellow was still being carried in people's arms and fed with animal milk. But now, he could already run around the village with the group of children.
"Ye Xuan, you're back?"
"Ye Xuan, have you eaten dinner? My family is cooking Earth Dragon meat tonight. Come to my house and eat!"
"What's so good about Earth Dragon meat? My family is cooking Dragon Horn Elephant meat tonight. Come to my house and eat!"
Along the way, he met many villagers, and they all warmly invited Ye Xuan to their houses for dinner.
Ye Xuan smiled and declined. Carrying the little fellow, he walked towards the chief's courtyard.
"Patriarch!" Walking into Shi Yunfeng's courtyard, he saw that Shi Yunfeng was preparing dinner. Other than some rough beast meat, there was also a pot of steaming hot beast milk on the fire, and the fragrance of the milk assailed his nostrils.
"You're back?" Seeing Ye Xuan carrying the little fellow back, Shi Yunfeng smiled, "Just in time, come over for dinner!"
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, and did not stand on ceremony. He carried the little fellow and walked over to sit down.
"Grandma, I want to eat grandma!" Smelling the fragrance of the milk, the little fellow threw away the half eaten Cloud Spirit Fruit, and stared at the beast milk on the fire with his large eyes.
Shi Yunfeng, on the other hand, was not hungry. The little fellow turned around and brought over a bowl of beast milk of moderate temperature, and placed it in front of him. "You little fellow, this, has already been prepared for you. Come, drink it!"
Seeing that bowl of beast milk, the little fellow immediately climbed out of Ye Xuan's embrace, sat on the table, and scooped up a wooden spoon to drink the milk. His large black eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he seemed to be eating very happily.
Ye Xuan and Shi Yunfeng looked at the little fellow's table manners, and could not help but laugh. Soon after, the two chatted while eating dinner.
Whoosh!!!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's expression changed, and he quickly rushed out of the house. At the entrance of Stone Village, a green cloud rushed into the sky like a divine chain. It was extremely dazzling, and at the same time, the entire Stone Village was also enveloped in a hazy halo.
"The Willow Deity has revived!!!" The villagers cheered in surprise.
