That night, Lian Chengyu ate vegetarian, burned incense and meditated all night, adjusting himself to his best condition.
The next morning, the ceremony officially began!
Zhao Tiezhu led the members of the warrior preparation camp and brought out the beast bone horn that was specially used by the Lian tribal clan to worship the heavens. Two strong men carried it, while another strong man used all his strength to blow it.
The dull sound reverberated in the sky above the Lian tribal clan, travelling seven to eight miles.
"The auspicious hour has arrived!" Zhao Tiezhu shouted at the top of his lungs.
The Lian tribal clan's ceremony attracted everyone in the tribe. As long as they could get out of bed, even a one-year-old child, they would be carried by their mothers.
The entire venue was so packed that not even a drop of water could trickle through!
"Dong! Dong! Dong! "
The drummers began to beat the drums slowly, but it became more and more urgent. The old cow's skin and bones could not withstand the force.
"Kill the animals!"
Zhao Tiezhu shouted once again. His face was flushed and he was in high spirits. It was an honor to be the master of ceremonies for such a grand ceremony!
The members of the warrior preparation camp brought the last remaining cow of the Lian tribal clan and killed it.
The Lian tribal clan originally had three cows, but due to the lack of food, two of them had been killed and made into bacon. A large portion was given to the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan, and a small portion was given as a reward to the able-bodied men who refined the desolate bones.
Now that the last cow had been killed, it was equivalent to cutting off all means of retreat. Without the cow, the village's land would be even harder to farm.
In the vast wilderness, there was too much black ironstone, so developing a plot of land was extremely difficult. For a member of the warrior preparation camp like Zhao Tiezhu, when it came to farming, he was inferior to a cow. Lian Chengyu was better than a cow, but how could Lian Chengyu pull a plow?
After the cow died, a large basin of its blood was filled. The tribe's witch came out and smeared the blood on her shriveled body, and began to dance crazily.
That's right, this witch was the one who had attacked Jiang Xiaorou's house with cow dung a few days ago. In fact, there was only one witch in the entire Lian tribal clan.
"The bones have finally been refined. This is great, Young master Lian is going to become a Purple Blood warrior!"
Lian Cuihua proudly said in the crowd. Her voice was very loud, and many people heard it.
"I heard that Young Master Lian is about to be chosen by the God Nation. In the future, he will bring us to a big city to live a good life."
"Is the future finally going to be better? I'm an old man, but my Niu Wa is only a teenager. If he can walk out of this damn place, that would be great … "
The people in the vast wilderness were more concerned about their future. The cattle had been slaughtered, the herb mountain had been picked clean, and there was no more food left. The entire Lian tribal clan had exhausted all their resources, and was penniless.
If they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"There won't be any accidents, right …?" a middle-aged man asked with uncertainty. He was a little scared.
"Pooh pooh pooh, what are you talking about? How could there be an accident!"
People began to discuss. They had high hopes for Lian Chengyu to break through to the Purple Blood realm and participate in the Kingdom's warrior selection.
"Mom … can we get meat?" As people were looking forward to the future, a three or four-year-old girl was lying in her mother's arms. Her eyes were glued to the beef that had been placed in the cauldron to be cooked, and she could not help but swallow her saliva.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is a tribute to the gods. How can you eat it?" The woman was shocked and quickly covered the little girl's mouth …
The ceremony lasted for two hours before it ended. Lian Chengyu, dressed in splendid clothes and silver armor, came to the stage.
Today, Lian Chengyu was in high spirits!
In front of Lian Chengyu, there was a jade box. The jade box was covered with red silk.
Lian Chengyu took a deep breath. The moment had finally arrived, the moment to realize his ambitions and aspirations!
He slowly opened the silk, revealing a fist-sized piece of desolate bone essence in the jade box!
This piece of desolate bone essence was something he had obtained after exhausting his entire fortune!
The desolate bone essence did not look good. It looked like a brown piece of mud. Compared to those crystal clear desolate bone relics that were the size of peanuts, it could only be described as horrible.
This was reasonable. This was a desolate bone essence refined using the traditional method. First, the Frost Python desolate bone's energy was refined into Li Fire water, and then the Li Fire water was evaporated. The remaining crystals were the desolate bone essence.
How beautiful could anything made from this method be?
However, no matter how bad its appearance was, in Lian Chengyu's eyes, it was the world's most exquisite work of art!
This was related to his future. With all his hopes placed in front of him, Lian Chengyu calmed his mind and held up the desolate bone essence with both hands. He solemnly ate it.
The fist-sized desolate bone essence looked like a lump of mud, and when eaten, it tasted like yellow mud.
One could well imagine the smell.
However, Lian Chengyu could not bear to waste any of it. He was very careful and did not miss a single one. He even licked his fingers clean.
He was feeling nervous. This was his first time eating a desolate bone essence, and the energy contained within was very violent. However, his body's foundation was not bad, so he should be able to withstand it.
"The celebration is over! Everyone, leave! "
Zhao Tiezhu shouted loudly. The members of the warrior preparation camp immediately began to chase people away, so as not to affect Lian Chengyu.
Lian Chengyu would break through to the Purple Blood realm on this altar that had been blessed by the tribal witch!
Although they were chased away, they did not go far. They were watching the situation at the altar from afar.
They saw Lian Chengyu sitting cross-legged and began to meditate, focusing on his breakthrough.
However …
The expected heat wave that surged through his body did not appear. The feeling that his body was about to explode did not appear.
On the contrary, his stomach was very calm. It was as if what he had just eaten was just an ordinary piece of mud.
Oh?
What happened?
Lian Chengyu frowned.
Was it not time for the desolate bone essence to take effect? He had to wait a little longer?
Lian Chengyu patiently waited.
"Calm down, I need to calm down. Once the desolate bone essence releases its energy, it will definitely be a raging storm. My body may have a solid foundation, but it will be extremely difficult for me to withstand it. I need to calm down and grit my teeth to withstand this calamity. After this calamity, I will be like a phoenix rising from the ashes, reborn, and soar into the sky!"
With this thought in mind, Lian Chengyu's heart calmed down.
However, fifteen minutes passed …
There was still no reaction from the desolate bone essence he had swallowed.
This was Lian Chengyu's first time eating a desolate bone essence, so he did not know how long it would take for the desolate bone essence to take effect. He guessed that the desolate bone essence was not easy to digest, so it was just that slow …
It should be …
