Dozens of pottery jars were opened, revealing strange little beasts and poisonous insects, all quite unique, such as golden snakes as long as chopsticks and flying silver spiders.

The water in the cauldron suddenly turned into a kaleidoscope of colors, and all sorts of strange smells wafted out.

The children's faces turned green immediately. It was terrifying. So many poisonous insects, so many ancient medicines, all mixed together—it gave them a sense of foreboding.

Fortunately, this cauldron was prepared for the little ones, not for refining them.

As the water gradually boiled, the water in the cauldron decreased and eventually almost dried up. The herbs and various exotic insects were boiled into a paste, which became the auxiliary medicine. It would alleviate the little one's pain and help him refine his true blood.

"Dismember the Suanni and prepare to inject its precious blood into the cauldron!" Shi Yuntao shouted.

The Suanni was as if cast from pure gold, its brilliance dazzling, like flames burning. Even in death, it exuded an aura of supreme majesty. Its fur was incredibly tough; ordinary iron axes could not cut it, instead producing sparks and clanging sounds, like the hammering of iron.

Fortunately, when the old Suanni was about to die, it fought one last battle and then tried to destroy itself. Although it failed, its body was cracked and streaked with blood in its golden divine light.

The villagers, following the open wounds, wielded their cleaned giant axes and painstakingly cleaved it open.

Everyone was shocked. Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao possessed the strength of five or six thousand jin with a single swing of their arms, which was extremely powerful and rare in this desolate forest. Yet, they were panting heavily and drenched in sweat, exhausted just from cutting their flesh and blood.

This shows how incredibly resilient the Suanni's body is, far beyond people's imagination!
After it was completely split open, several elders personally took action to extract the precious blood. The true blood contained a portion of golden liquid, which was dazzlingly bright.

This is what makes it so precious—it's the divine power of the ancient Suanni species, with a tiny bit of golden blood hidden within its veins that's priceless, making even the largest tribes envious!

Although the Suanni was dead, its blood coagulated but did not solidify, making it easy to handle. They used silver vessels to collect the real blood, and the ground was filled with gleaming, oversized silver jars, which were eventually all filled.

Shi Yuntao personally took action, wielding a jade knife covered in runes, unleashing hundreds and thousands of rays of light to rip out the most precious heart. It was as large as a washbasin, its entire body a pale gold, containing unparalleled divine power, and as it was moved, it scattered patches of golden light.

He placed the precious heart directly into the black cauldron, fearing to waste the divine radiance of the Suanni, and shouted at the same time:
"Infuse precious blood!"

Several strong men carried over a huge silver vessel and poured it into the black cauldron with a "glug-glug" sound, replacing the spring water and using the precious blood as a liquid, mixing it with the medicinal paste and other ingredients.

The black dragonwood beneath the cauldron blazed fiercely, causing the ancestral cauldron to roar. The various primordial beasts on the cauldron's walls seemed to come alive, emitting howls. Inside the cauldron, pale golden liquid boiled, and the precious heart blazed even brighter, spewing forth golden light that made the entire cauldron radiant. The liquid inside transformed into golden light, and an exceptionally rich fragrance wafted out.

This is the ancient Suanni, whose body is a priceless treasure!
Immediately afterwards, Shi Yuntao waved his right hand, and nine jars landed beside the cauldron.

Then, he used his strength to open all the jars, and under his guidance, nine ferocious beasts, glowing with blood, rushed out and jumped into the cauldron.

Instantly, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron boiled even more vigorously, and an even richer aroma filled the entire village.

"Boil it to a boil, then simmer it into a large potion. Little one, get ready, it's almost time to put it into the cauldron."

Shi Yuntao said seriously.

"Understood!" Shi Hao replied loudly.

The great medicine was being simmered over a raging fire. The flames were intense, the aroma was rich, and the liquid inside the cauldron was a pale golden liquid. Occasionally, the roars of ancient creatures could be heard, which were terrifying.

In the distance, a golden lion could be vaguely seen emerging, terrifying and overwhelming, swallowing the sun and moon, making the stars tremble!

Not only that, but soon other pure-blooded ferocious beast phantoms appeared.

Everyone was horrified, gasping in shock, and many couldn't help but tremble.

"These are fragments of the mark left in the pale golden blood by the ancient Suanni ancestor, which have become the source of divinity for this remnant species before us," an elder sighed after calming himself.

That wasn't all. The clansmen extracted several tendons and placed them into the cauldron. They also took out a lot of pale golden divine essence from the precious bone and put it into the black cauldron, making the great medicine even more dazzling and fragrant.

"Clan leader, this bone has runes on it and is flowing with mysterious power!" Just then, Shi Feijiao exclaimed.

"What?!" The clan leader and other elders rushed over immediately, no longer able to remain calm and composed.

After the flesh and blood of the Suanni were unraveled, a symbol appeared on its forehead bone. It was complex, mysterious, and shone brightly, constantly changing like the endless stars in the sky.

"It actually survived!"

Shi Yunfeng was so excited that he trembled, then he looked up at the sky and laughed heartily, almost bursting into tears.

Shi Yuntao remained calm and used a special field to assist in brewing the medicine, allowing the medicinal materials in the cauldron to transform and sublimate, bringing greater benefits to the little one.

This is why the original, fierce bones are rare and the precious techniques they possess are invaluable!
True great clans usually only possess one extremely powerful magic technique, supplemented by a few weaker supernatural abilities, and that's about it.

To everyone's surprise, an unexpected turn of events occurred this time. The ancient beast Suanni, due to its fierce battle with the Blazing Bull Demon and the Demon Ape King, ultimately failed to destroy the precious bone bearing the mark.

"Keep it hidden, and don't let anyone know!"

Shi Yunfeng quickly realized what was happening, and with a serious expression, said:

"Heaven has taken pity on our clan, granting us an extremely powerful treasure technique. This is of utmost importance, and we must keep it a secret."

Shi Yuntao then comforted him, saying:

"Yunfeng, don't worry. With me here and Ziling here, our Stone Village will still be able to preserve this Suanni Treasure Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng gave a wry smile and said:

"You will be fine while you are here, but you will eventually have to leave Stone Village!"

Then, the clan leader turned his head and urged, "Little one, hurry up and enter the cauldron; you can undergo the baptism now. Once you emerge from seclusion, you will be able to comprehend the supreme treasure technique of the ancient remnant species, the Suanni!"

"Grandpa Chieftain, I've been ready for a long time!"

After his bath, the little boy's body was glistening with runes, looking beautiful and adorable. He leaped into the boiling cauldron, where the radiant golden liquid instantly engulfed him. Shi Ziling and Qin Yining both wore expectant expressions, hoping that this baptism would help Shi Hao mend his past losses.

Shi Ankang, who was in Qin Yining's arms, watched his brother jump into the cauldron with a grin, as if he had seen something fun.

Shi Yuntao kept a close eye on Shi Hao inside the cauldron. He was not only watching Shi Hao's transformation, but also using the Immortal Emperor's Tears to condense a large amount of essence and energy, hoping to take this opportunity to help Shi Hao revive the Supreme Bone within his body.

"Seal the cauldron!" Shi Yunfeng shouted. The villagers brought the huge, dark cauldron lid, and several people worked together to close it tightly.

The other children all felt dizzy and their faces turned pale. They were covered up so tightly. How could they withstand such boiling water? How were they supposed to breathe?

The old patriarch glanced at them and said, "Once you refine the bone inscriptions into every inch of your flesh and blood, transforming them into radiant light and becoming divine radiance, you won't have to worry about this anymore. You can draw upon the divine essence of heaven and earth to nourish your bodies, and at that time you can enter water and fire, and it won't matter if you don't breathe for a long time."

The black cauldron trembled, emitting bursts of precious light. The little one had been sealed inside for more than an hour. The cauldron lid was shaken open from time to time, and golden liquid splashed out, releasing a rich and intoxicating aroma.

In the dim light, a golden lion seemed about to burst out, roaring incessantly. The sound was so real that it sent chills down the spines of everyone in Stone Village.

It wasn't very big, only a little over a foot long, and it was forcefully banging against the lid of the cauldron. Its whole body was golden, and its light was dazzling. It also roared at the little guy from time to time.

The lid of the cauldron shook violently, terrifying the onlookers. Several times, the villagers tried to close it tightly, but the old clan chief stopped them each time. This was the essence of the medicine inside the cauldron, and it had to be refined in this way, not to be disturbed.

The fragrance grew stronger, the black cauldron was heavy, and divine light kept pouring down, rushing out from the gaps in the lid. The little one floated up and down inside, his eyes closed, receiving the baptism.

"When", "when"...

The foot-long golden lion struggled more and more fiercely, its whole body burning, like a god, charging left and right, crashing into the black cauldron.

Everyone's expression changed, even Shi Yunfeng was very nervous, his eyes widened as he closely watched the medicinal soul—that is, the divine fragment passed down from the Primordial Suanni Ancestral Emperor.

"This is not good. What if it breaks out? Does the clan leader really forbid us from intervening?" Shi Feijiao asked.

Shi Yunfeng said with a solemn expression, "The medicine cauldron has been sealed. If we touch it carelessly, the essence of the medicine may explode and dissipate into the world."

Shi Yuntao laughed and said, "Don't worry, Hao'er has extraordinary talent, and his Supreme Bone requires a lot of essence. This is probably not enough for him to consume!"

"Oh no! It's attacking the little one!" Ermeng, one of the group of children, cried out in alarm.

Everyone's heart tightened. The divine lion's radiance became even more dazzling. It bared its fangs and claws, spewed clouds and mist, and emitted bursts of thunder as it charged towards the little one.

"Don't be nervous, it's already dead. It's just a fragment of divinity, it has no real consciousness," Shi Yunfeng said.

The little boy stood solemnly, motionless, his flesh and blood glowing. He was immersed in a strange state, oblivious to everything else, as if isolated from the outside world, refining the divine radiance that enveloped him. He forged runes within his flesh and blood, melting them into radiant light, transforming them into divine brilliance. Each drop of blood was a rune, an eternal divine furnace, emitting boundless light to nourish himself.

At this moment, every pore on his body opened up, and every drop of blood became a divine essence, exhaling divine light, as if one god after another sat inside him.

His body radiated divine light, with countless tiny points of light, as if countless gods were chanting, reciting scriptures, and shining, illuminating the blue sky.

The golden lion rushed over, guided by countless points of light, transforming into wisps of radiance, which were purified and refined within it by each point of light.

"This strange phenomenon is so mysterious!" The villagers were stunned, but their tense mood eased considerably.

"Ow..."

The Suanni struggled and resisted more fiercely, dodging away from the little one and frantically ramming into the black cauldron, producing a series of booming sounds that made people tremble, fearing that the cauldron would suddenly shatter.

In the end, the golden lion grew increasingly ferocious, crashing into the black cauldron until it roared and trembled. But at that moment, the cauldron itself changed. The sun, moon, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish, and insects on it became much more realistic, as if they were about to come to life.

"Huh, could it be that the ancient artifact passed down in our clan was originally a precious cauldron for refining medicine?" Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng exclaimed in surprise, as this was similar to the cauldrons of other tribes.

The golden lion was enraged and its attack became even more violent. However, the cauldron became increasingly ancient and exuded a mysterious aura. The runes on the cauldron's surface lit up one after another, as if they were spontaneously combusting.

The roars of various ferocious birds and beasts echoed, though indistinct, they were definitely not hallucinations. At this moment, the cauldron gradually became translucent, beginning to refine the golden liquid inside.

The Suanni trembled, its furious roar causing eardrums to ache. Originally a divine, ethereal being, its voice now echoed powerfully through the village, inspiring fear. It was making a final stand, rising upright and spewing lightning, as if it truly intended to pierce through the cauldron's walls.

The black cauldron trembled, and the ancient people depicted on its walls became even more lifelike, emitting sounds of sacrificial rites, followed by chanting of scriptures, which continued incessantly.

Shi Yuntao's heart stirred. He knew that the cauldron contained the "Original True Explanation - Transcendence Chapter". The chanting might be the manifestation of the Dao and Dharma of the Immortal Emperor at the end of the Boundary Sea!
He immediately focused his attention on observing, probing the depths of the cauldron with his spiritual power and sensing a different kind of charm. However, given his current limited cultivation level, it was wishful thinking for him to scan the complete version of the Original True Explanation Transcendence Chapter with his spiritual power without damaging the cauldron.

You must know that this is the technique of an Immortal Emperor, and even an Immortal King would find it difficult to comprehend. Although Shi Yuntao has the essence of the Other Shore, he is ultimately just a reincarnation of a true spirit, and his current realm is far from sufficient!
"This great artifact passed down from our ancestors seems to be a truly extraordinary medicine cauldron!" Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng was shocked, never expecting that the unassuming black cauldron he used every day would be so miraculous.

At the same time, the tiny creature in the golden liquid had even more light spots all over its body, densely packed, like a whole bunch of gods emerging, sitting there chanting scriptures, resonating with the cauldron.

The Suanni was terrified, trembling incessantly, before being disintegrated. The black cauldron refined it into beams of golden divine light, which then disappeared into the golden liquid within the cauldron.

Finally, everything calmed down. The lid of the cauldron was sealed tightly, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was inside.

"Alright, the cauldron has finally been sealed. If nothing unexpected happens, Little One will succeed!" Shi Yunfeng said, very excited.

"Clan leader, how long will this take?" Shi Feijiao asked.

"It's hard to say. The baptism can take anywhere from one day to three months," Shi Yunfeng said, frowning.

"What?" Everyone was stunned. No wonder the old clan chief had them chop down the black dragonwood and insisted on preparing this kind of firewood.

For a whole day and night, the golden liquid boiled and never dried up. The little one floated up and down in it, its whole body red, as if it were about to bleed. The golden liquid kept entering its body through its pores, and then brought out some impurities, repeatedly cleansing it.

This is a terrible and extremely violent process. How could an ordinary child endure it? They would be tortured to death!
The golden liquid is not a simple rinse; it rushes into the body and surges wildly, like cracking bones and grinding flesh, often severing tendons and veins.

The little one gritted his teeth, remaining motionless, as the golden liquid cleansed his body, making him glow from the outside in. Although he was in excruciating pain, he felt his spirit growing ever stronger. (End of Chapter)
