The end of this quasi-emperor peak is coming

Chapter 181 Little one

The old people in the village knew very well that the young man who often sat under the willow tree actually came for the willow tree, to worship their spirits.

But Luo Yan had been in the village for decades and had never done anything to harm the villagers. As a result, over time, the villagers of Shi Village began to accept this scholar from another family.

Luo Yan is not only a teacher, he is also a good hand at growing herbs. Many herbs that cannot be grown in the village and are dying, once they fall into Luo Yan's hands, they will be full of vitality and fragrant in just three days.

Luo Yan's origins are all secret, and few people know about them except the old man Shicun.

"Brother Luo, please go to the medicine garden and pick some herbs. Today we have to improve the health of these little guys. Use the blood of these ferocious beasts to give them a medicinal bath." Shi Linhu said honestly.

Luo Yan nodded: "No trouble."

The old patriarch of Shi Village planned a medicinal herb garden for Luo Yan. It was not far away, at the back of the village, in a relatively quiet location. Usually, few people went there, and Luo Yan basically took care of it alone. From time to time, the elders in the village would go there to collect some herbs and grind them into powder for use by the hunting teams.

When he arrived at the medicine garden, Luo Yan selected some herbs that were growing well, of good quality, and had the most vigorous vital energy. These herbs have mild properties and are more suitable for use as auxiliary medicines.

After collecting the necessary herbs and just stepping out of the medicine garden, Luo Yan paused for a moment. After thinking for a while, he had another thousand-year-old elixir in his hand.

"It's a little too conspicuous!" Luo Yan stared at the magical medicine. It undoubtedly stood out among all the herbs. It was really too conspicuous.

Luo Yan refined it, wiped out the elixir's gradual spiritual glow, and concealed all the medicinal properties within his body.

"This way it won't be so conspicuous!" Luo Yan put the elixir that the children could tolerate into the basket with satisfaction and mixed it with the herbs.

Although it is still very special compared to other herbs, different in appearance and size, it is much more ordinary than before, and most people can't notice any problems at all.

"You little brats, be careful! It's a rare opportunity to collect these ferocious beasts. Every part of their bodies is a treasure. Their essence, blood, tendons, and some bones with patterns are extremely valuable. Be careful when you cut them, don't lose the essence!" When they came back, the old patriarch was directing and instructing the young and middle-aged men in the tribe to cut the giant beasts.

Luo Yan took a quick look and saw that it was almost finished and a lot of preparations had been done.

Someone had already prepared large ceramic jars and placed them under special parts of the animals' bodies to collect the blood essence from the giant beasts. This is an excellent blood-replenishing medicine and is extremely precious.

“This Pixiu blood is indeed precious. Although it is not from the pure bloodline of the Pixiu royal family, I can already feel some of the real blood contained in this blood essence!”

"And this two-headed fire rhino, the blood preserved in its horn is no less than that of the Pixiu, it's amazing!"

"This time the harvest is indeed very rich. It was more than two years ago that I last hunted these treasures. Look at the horns on the head of this dragon horn statue. They are rare bone-tonifying medicine!"

……

A group of young and middle-aged people were delighted as they packed up these extremely precious medicines.

Hearing the adults' exclamations again and again, only the children shrank their necks, showing smiles that were uglier than crying, and ran away in a flash.

Because they know that these so-called precious medicines will mostly be used on them, and they are afraid that they will start to suffer again!
Luo Yan took advantage of this gap to hand over the herbs in the basket and the thousand-year-old elixir to the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng.

"Village chief, these are the herbs you need." Luo Yan walked in front of Shi Yunfeng and blocked his sight.

Shi Yunfeng came back to his senses, took it from his hand, and saw at a glance the extraordinary thousand-year-old elixir among the herbs.

Luo Yan explained with a smile: "I don't know why this herb grows so fast. It has grown into this shape after being left alone for a few days. I think its medicinal properties may be stronger than those of ordinary herbs. It should be good for the children!"

Shi Yunfeng thanked him without becoming suspicious.

Luo Yan took this opportunity to change the subject and said, "With so much prey, we'll pickle some of it and then smoke and roast it into jerky. I guess it'll take us a while to eat it!"

Shi Yunfeng also nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, you don't have to worry about food during this period! Remember to bring some back later. Your taste is very different from that of our village. Our food may not suit your appetite."

Luo Yan did not refuse, but agreed: "Then I have to be thick-skinned and carefully select some strong meat!"

"It's your choice!"

"Hahaha!"

A group of people started to come forward to divide the meat, including Luo Yan.

When the harvest is good, almost every household will take some meat home to improve their lives, and there will be no big pot meals for a long time.

Luo Yan chose the most precious two-headed rhino meat, but he didn't take much, only about 20 to 30 kilograms, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the whole rhino.

Luo Yan grilled the meat over the fire and sprinkled some of his special spices on it. The fat sizzled in the fire, whetting people's appetite.

Luo Yan tasted a piece and found it tasted pretty good, showing that his cooking skills were not rusty.

He sealed most of the remaining meat in the source using a special method to ensure that the meat was fresh and not deteriorating.

"The sun is setting, it would be nice to have a pot of good wine!" Luo Yan was not a cultivator who liked drinking very much, he preferred tea, but with meat and wine, coupled with the sunset, it was a very enjoyable feeling.

"I have to find a way to transplant some spiritual tea someday." Luo Yan thought of tea and planned to take a walk deep into the mountains in two days.

"Yeah!"

There seemed to be some movement at the door.

Luo Yan turned his head.

The little guy was seen lying on the door crack, peeking inside quietly. He saw large chunks of golden Pi Xiu meat left on Luo Yan's fire, and his mouth was watering.

"If you want to eat, come and get it yourself!"

As soon as Luo Yan finished speaking, the little guy ran into the house in a crooked manner, stuffed the large piece of Pi Xiu meat into his mouth in front of Luo Yan, his eyes curved into crescent shapes and narrowed into slits, looking very satisfied.

Seeing his mouth full of juice, Luo Yan smiled and said, "Look at the way you eat so voraciously. If you don't know, you might think the chief is abusing you!"

"Yeah!"

The little guy responded, then picked up another piece of Pi Xiu meat and stuffed it into big mouthfuls, as if he didn't understand what Luo Yan meant.

"You are indeed a natural foodie!" Luo Yan teased a little. The little guy has the most sensitive nose in the entire Shi Village.

Luo Yan wouldn't say that his cooking skills are the best in the world, but at least his level is top-notch in Shi Village, so the meat he grills naturally tastes better than that of ordinary people.

Seeing his satisfied look, Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh that in the cruel wilderness where ferocious beasts and birds of prey roamed around and lives were threatened from time to time, the people in tribes like this one would be satisfied as long as they had enough food to eat.

As night fell, the people of Shi Village gathered together.

The bonfire dance was very lively, with people of all ages smiling and laughing.

Shi Yunfeng had already arranged eight large copper tripods in the wide open space in the village. There was a blazing fire underneath, and the water in the tripods was boiling and bubbling. Several old men threw herbs into the tripods, and occasionally put in centipedes several feet long and spiders as big as fists. The children were terrified just by looking at them, and they screamed in surprise. "Village chief, our medicinal bath this time seems to be different from the past!" An old man seemed to have discovered something.

Shi Yunfeng stood on the stone steps and looked down. The medicine liquid that should have been as black as ink had become somewhat clear and transparent today. At a glance, he seemed to be able to see the bottom of the bronze tripod.

"Hiss, this is so strange! It's like nothing was added!"

But if you look closely, the boiling medicine in the bronze tripod has a pungent smell.

"Don't worry about it, just pour the real blood in first!" Shi Yunfeng ordered everyone. He finally guessed that it must be because of that extraordinary herb.

He believed in his heart that the unusual herb might have evolved into a magical medicine.

Does Luo Yan know? Maybe, maybe not!

After all, only he himself knows the truth!
In front of the campfire.

An old man shouted with a smile: "Children, stop running around. Come and take a medicinal bath in a while. Have a good sleep at night. I guarantee you will be stronger than wild animals when you wake up tomorrow!"

When the children heard the old man's words, they all screamed, ran away, and hid in various places in the village.

"Ah...I won't go!"

In the blink of an eye, the children disappeared.

The adults began to scold their own children angrily, and then caught them one by one.

"You are a bunch of idiots, how ungrateful you are! That is a rare tonic, not only can it strengthen your body, but if you can bathe in it regularly, in the future your muscles and bones will be comparable to those of ferocious beasts, and you will be able to roam freely in the mountains!"

"It hurts! I don't want to take a medicinal bath. It felt like a knife cut last time!"

"Dad, please let go. I really don't want to be cooked!"

They resisted fiercely, but they couldn't twist the thigh, and were finally caught back, crying and shouting.

The moment they saw the big bronze tripod, the children's faces turned green. They wanted to escape immediately and frantically clawed at the air, but unfortunately they were held down tightly.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Like putting dumplings in the pot, the adults carried the little kids and stuffed them into the bronze tripod one by one.

Then a heart-wrenching roar came from the cauldron, and everyone wailed.

"It's cooked, it's cooked, I'm almost cooked!"

"Help! My body feels like it's been scraped by a knife, and my skin feels like it's about to split! Dad, please pull me out, don't give me the medicinal bath!"

Luo Yan's eyes fell on the little one who was being specially cared for.

That small cauldron was the most special. It contained the most precious bones, tendons, herbs and real blood. An ordinary child would already cry heart-wrenchingly in an ordinary medicine cauldron, but the little one was different. He could bear it the best.

Luo Yan's eyes penetrated the essence and saw a bloody wound in the little guy's body. There should have been an extremely mysterious supreme bone there, but now it was missing, as if it had been dug out by someone, and now all that was left was the ordinary bone that had grown back.

As the thick liquid in the small black top boiled, Shi Yunfeng opened two special pottery jars and poured the real blood into them.

The real blood in these two pottery jars are the real blood of Pixiu and two-headed rhinoceros, which are among the most precious bloods obtained in this hunting trip, and now some more is poured into them.

The two kinds of precious blood turned into a red Pixiu and a fiery red two-headed rhinoceros. The red figure had a ferocious face and was the size of a palm. It seemed as if it wanted to tear people apart and escape, and was extremely ferocious.

The fiery red figure was so imposing that it raised its head and roared angrily the moment it appeared, but was struck back by the old patriarch and scattered into the black cauldron.

Luo Yan stared closely, his eyes focused on that place. Even though the Supreme Bone had been dug out, there were still faint mysterious lines. With his current vision and means, he could naturally work backwards and perfectly deduce the original appearance of the Supreme Bone.

Soon, Luo Yan perfectly deduced the Supreme Bone in his mind and imprinted the patterns inside it in his mind, so that he could try to integrate it into his own Taoism in the future.

"Did you see that? Did Uncle Luo's eyes light up just now?" Suddenly, a child who had just finished bathing spoke in a low voice to the child next to him.

"Yeah! I saw it too!" The children looked at Luo Yan's eyes curiously, but he had returned to normal now.

"What are you guys chattering about? You seem to be full of energy. Go soak in there for a while!" A strong young man picked up these energetic and whispering children and put them into the medicine cauldron.

"No wow!"

The children screamed again, but the adults seemed not to hear them.

The medicinal bath lasted for a long time. The children were soaked like red-skinned monkeys. They looked miserable and looked at each other with tears streaming down their faces.

The little one didn't cry or make a fuss, but his big black eyes rolled around. After being taken out, he looked drunk as if he had been drunk. His little face was red and he was staggering and about to fall.

"how do you feel?"

"I'm full!" He burped, then fell asleep in the old patriarch's arms in a daze.

"Sleepy!"

Everyone was amused by his heartless and simple response.

"Let these children have a good sleep. They will have a lot more strength tomorrow!" Shi Yunfeng said.

The crowd dispersed quickly, and only a few old men were left to clean up the remaining liquid without wasting it. They gradually started a fire and added some special herbs. The medicinal powder made after drying it was also a good tonic that could effectively heal wounds.

Luo Yan didn't care about these, but suddenly he had a feeling and looked towards the depths of the mountains.

"Something might happen tonight!" he murmured.

Several old men looked at him, and one of them asked, "Brother Luo, did you find something?"

Luo Yan shook his head: "Nothing! I just feel like there seems to be a giant beast fighting deep in the mountains!"

"Behemoths fighting?"

"It shouldn't affect here!"

The old men seemed to understand that Brother Luo was a man of great abilities, far beyond the reach of the people in their village.
