The Horned Dragon Wood grew in the depths of the Wasteland and could gather the essence of the earth. It only grew an inch in a year, and its quality was even harder than ordinary steel. Its trunk was like a horned dragon, bold and unadorned. It was a type of wondrous wood of the highest quality.
This was a type of strange wood, hard and heavy. Even if it was made into a weapon, it would still be harder than ordinary steel weapons. However, right now, this kind of strange wood was piled up in the middle of Stone Village, waiting to be burned.
Using this Horned Dragon Wood as firewood, not only could it burn for a very long time, even if it was only the size of a palm, it could burn for nearly four hours. The temperature of the flame was also much higher than ordinary firewood, enough to melt ordinary gold and iron.
Normally, only Black Dragon Wood was used for baptism. That Black Dragon Wood was also a wondrous wood, but compared to the Horned Dragon Wood, its efficacy was much lower.
If there was no Ye Xuan, with Stone Village's resources, they could only use Black Dragon Wood at most. However, because of Ye Xuan's existence, Ye Xuan had the Black Eagle search for good quality Horned Dragon Wood in the Wasteland half a year ago. Even with the Black Eagle's Noble rank cultivation, it could only find a pile of Horned Dragon Wood after half a year. It could be seen that this Horned Dragon Wood was extremely rare.
"Ha! ~ ~"
In the middle of the open space, several villagers with bulging muscles could be seen. They were sweating profusely as they looked at the villager in the middle who was waving a flickering green axe. The villager was bare-chested, and there were complex patterns on his arms. It was obvious that he was using the power of the bone talisman.
Kacha! ~ ~ ~
With a crisp sound, sparks flew. The axe struck the piece of Horned Dragon Wood, creating a metallic sound. However, it was still split in half by the axe.
"Phew! ~ ~ ~" Damn it, this wood is too hard. I haven't even chopped ten of them and my arm is going numb! "After chopping that piece of Horned Dragon Wood, the villager breathed a sigh of relief, then wiped his sweat and said.
"Haha, Shi Yong, don't try to be brave. If you can't do it, then let me do it!" A villager laughed loudly and walked over to take the axe from the villager's hand.
"That's right. Don't try to show off. We can only chop down around 10 of them. This Horned Dragon Wood is much harder compared to the Black Wyrm Wood. If it weren't for Ye Xuan bringing out this Prized artefact, we might not even be able to chop down one."
"Hah, open for me!" While the villager next to him was talking, the villager close to the axe didn't stay idle. He used the power of the bone talisman and continued to chop the Horned Dragon Wood.
On the other side, a few villagers carried out a few large black cauldrons from the village's courtyard and set them up with specially picked "Ebony Stones".
This kind of "Dark Gold Stone" was dark and even harder than "Diamond Rock". It could withstand the heat of the flames caused by the Horned Dragon Wood. Ye Xuan specially rode the Black Vulture Eagle to Lonely Mountain Town to buy it.
On the other side, the little guy and a few other youths were bathing on top of a huge stone paved platform. The villagers were constantly using pure mountain spring water to wash their bodies, and wanted to seal their purest bodies within the cauldron to undergo a baptism.
Because of Ye Xuan's existence, the preparations for this baptism were more ample. Therefore, Ye Xuan and Shi Yunfeng discussed for a bit and finally decided to let the villagers' children who were around 10 years old participate in this baptism.
Although those 10 year old children had already been baptized once, the conditions for their baptism were much worse. This time, Ye Xuan prepared six True Blood of Archaic Descendants that surpassed the Heavenly Passage realm. There were even countless treasured medicines that the villagers didn't dare to imagine. This kind of baptism was enough to stimulate the deepest potential of the children.
Several large cauldrons were arranged on the empty ground, separated by at least 10 meters. Each cauldron emitted a simple and unadorned aura. Below them, there was Horned Dragon Wood burning. The water quickly boiled, using the fiercest fire to decoct the most precious medicines.
Several clan elders and chief Shi Yunfeng personally took action. Their expressions were solemn as they stood in front of those large cauldrons. They took out the treasured medicines, ores, poisonous insects, and other things that they had already prepared and placed them into the large cauldrons.
The large cauldron Shi Yunfeng stood on was the Black Gold Medicine Cauldron that Xiao Budian lifted before. This Black Gold Medicine Cauldron was not ordinary. On top of it were engravings of the sun, moon, stars, birds, beasts, fish, and insects, as well as scenes of ancient ancestors offering sacrifices. It looked mysterious and unfathomable.
Scarlet Orchid, Silver Blood Grass, Blood Mushroom, Fire Spirit Flower, and many other treasured medicines and spirit medicines were placed into the medicine cauldron by Shi Yunfeng. Not long after, waves of medicinal fragrance came out from the medicine cauldron, refreshing people's nostrils.
Soon after, Shi Yunfeng took out several sealed clay jars. The bone symbols in his hands lit up, and he opened them one by one. From inside, he took out a small silver snake, a centipede that was a foot long, three golden toads, and a rainbow colored spider. He placed all of them into the medicine cauldron one by one.
Seeing the dozens of poisonous insects that Shi Yunfeng had put into the cauldron, the faces of the curious children all changed. They knew many of these poisonous insects, and they were existences that adults didn't dare to provoke. Many of them were extremely poisonous, just like the little silver snake from before. Even if an Earth Dragon was bitten by it, it wouldn't be able to live for more than a few minutes.
With so many poisonous insects placed inside, no one dared to imagine how terrifying the medicinal liquid inside the medicine cauldron would be.
Fortunately, apart from the Xiao Budian's medicinal liquid, the other children who were undergoing the baptism were not as terrifying.
This was not because the chief was biased, but because their physiques were different. Compared to the Xiao Budian's physique, even those eight or nine year old children simply could not compare to the Xiao Budian's physique. This was something that the villagers were extremely clear on, and their hearts did not have any objections.
As the water boiled, the clear water inside the cauldron gradually decreased. In the end, it almost dried up, and all the medicinal herbs and strange insects that were previously thrown in were boiled into a paste.
Seeing that the time was right, Shi Yunfeng opened his mouth and said, "Bring those six Archaic Descendants over!"
Following Shi Yunfeng's words, the villagers all began to move. Soon after, several villagers brought out the huge Archaic Descendants one by one.
The first Archaic Descendant was a Platinum Ape. Its entire body was covered in white fur, but its head was pure gold. It was nearly three meters tall, and even though it was dead, it still emitted the powerful and imposing aura of an Archaic Descendant.
The second Archaic Descendant was a Kui Ox. It was pale white in color, and it only had one leg. It was around five meters long and three meters tall. It could also be considered a huge creature.
The third Archaic Descendant was a Mythical Fire Devil Ox. Its body was huge, and its entire body was scarlet red. Even though it was dead, its entire body still emitted a blazing heat.
The fourth Archaic Descendant was a Scorpion Tail Snake. It was over ten zhang long, and as thick as a water bucket. Its scales were like copper coins, and it had a scorpion tail. It looked extremely powerful.
The fifth Archaic Descendant was an Earth Dragon. It was shaped like a pangolin, but it had a flood dragon head. It was also one of the overlords of the great desolate mountain range.
The last Archaic Descendant was a Suan Ni. The Suan Ni was one of the nine sons of the dragon. Although this Suan Ni's bloodline was no longer pure, it was still extremely powerful. Its entire body seemed as if it was cast in gold, and its radiance was dazzling like a burning flame.
