Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 199 Shi Hao's Surprise
"Hao'er, are you alright?"

At the same time, seeing that the two had finished fighting, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining rushed over and circled around Shi Hao, carefully checking him for any injuries.

Similarly, Yunxi also came to Shi An's side immediately to check on his condition.

Finally, after confirming that both of them were just exhausted but not seriously injured, Shi Ziling and his wife, as well as Yun Xi, breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to the village together.

Meanwhile, a banquet had already been prepared in the village to welcome Shi Hao back.

"Xiao An, Xiao Hao, you're back! Come on, we've been waiting for you."

"Yes, yes, we've been waiting for you."

"Brother Ziling, come and sit down, have a drink with us brothers."

“Sister Qin, come here, let’s have some private conversations as women.”

···········
As soon as everyone returned, Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao and others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately pulled them over and made them sit down.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, Xiao Hao is still breastfeeding at three years old!"

As soon as Yuechan sat down, Pihou and the others couldn't wait to start revealing all sorts of embarrassing stories about Shi Hao.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, let me tell you, when Xiao Hao was six years old, he still asked Brother Xiao An to bring him animal milk!"

"Not only that, I even saw him secretly drinking it when he was eight years old!"

········
"stop!"

Hearing his friends' juicy gossip, Shi Hao's face darkened, and he stopped them with a twitching smile, saying, "I'm telling you guys, that's enough. Can't you say something reliable? Stop harping on those things from my childhood."

Shi Hao pretended to be angry, but his eyes were full of smiles.

This is because it reflects the villagers' deep love and affection for him, and the priceless friendship between them.

Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter again, making the atmosphere even more lively.

The village was filled with laughter and joy, brimming with warmth and happiness.

Yuechan smiled secretly, her flawless face full of laughter. She never expected that the person who was like a god of war during the battle was so interesting in his childhood.

Qin Hao also had a strange look in his eyes. Looking at Shi Hao, who was surrounded and ridiculed by everyone, he didn't know what to say for a moment. This was too different from his image during the battle just now.

It was a night filled with laughter and joy. The moonlight was pure white, and on the sapphire-blue lakeside, bonfires flickered. Men, women, and children sat around clusters of fire, their laughter never ceasing.

Golden roasted meat, fragrant monkey wine, running children, and small animals such as lightning dogs and purple-gold rats playing around create a heartwarming scene.

Shi Hao brought back many gifts this time, including various magical artifacts, piles of fine wine, and pure-blooded creatures such as blue dragons, hydras, and purple-gold ants, all of which had delicious flesh and abundant vital energy.

However, the clansmen can only consume a small amount of those Venerable-level ferocious beasts. They need to refine them as precious medicines because the divine power contained within them is too much for their bodies to handle.

And so, everyone gathered together, clinking glasses and exchanging endless conversations.

Even some naked kids would secretly pick up their glasses and take a sip with a slurp, only to be stopped by adults and then stagger and fall over, looking utterly adorable.

People didn't leave until late at night. Most of them returned to the village, while some others got drunk and fell asleep on the grassy bank of the lake.

The silvery moonlight, like water, enveloped the stone village like a thin layer of smoke. It was nestled in the wilderness, peaceful and serene, far removed from the world.

In the distance, towering mountains and magnificent primeval mountain ranges could be heard, and the faint roars of various ferocious birds and beasts could be heard, but none dared to approach the village.

At the village entrance, the willows shimmered with a soft, verdant light. Gazing at the shimmering, silvery surface of the lake, Shi Hao finally asked Maoqiu and Xiaohong the question that had been nagging at him: "Xiaohong, Maoqiu, what exactly was that mountain treasure you fought over back then?"

Why should I tell you?

Xiao Hong merely glanced at him, her tone displeased, clearly still bothered by his calling her Xiao Hong.

Seeing this, Shi Hao had no choice but to brazenly look at Maoqiu and say, "Maoqiu, have you forgotten who took you to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion to eat spiritual herbs, who took you to the Kunpeng Nest to see the sea..."

Seeing Shi Hao bring up these past events again, Mao Qiu's expression changed slightly. Although he was also indignant at being called Mao Qiu, he finally spoke up and said, "That was a box made from a piece of heavenly bone, which contained a treasure."

"Most importantly, there is one method among them that is incredibly powerful, a true unparalleled divine power."

Hearing this, Shi Hao was surprised and looked at the fur ball with a look of astonishment, saying, "Could it be that it can compare to the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique?"

"That's different."

Upon hearing this, Maoqiu shook his head slightly and explained, "It's not a magical technique, but a method specifically for controlling supernatural powers. If you learn it, you can combine various supernatural powers and unify various magical techniques. The power of that is unimaginable!"

At this moment, Xiao Hong, who hadn't intended to speak, said, "Do you know what forbidden scriptures are? This is one of them!"

As soon as Xiao Hong finished speaking, Mao Qiu added, "Even those giants from the upper realms may very well be here for this reason."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao was completely shocked. The reason why the giants from the upper realm had come down was for this item, the supreme treasure made from the Heavenly Bone.

Seeing Shi Hao's shocked expression, Maoqiu became somewhat frantic: "I originally got it, but I was too badly injured at the time, and I don't know where it ended up..."

"It was taken by the Sky-Devouring Sparrow."

Just as Maoqiu finished speaking, Shi An's voice suddenly came from the side: "Later in the North Sea, the Devouring Sky Sparrow was killed by the Willow God and fell into the sea, where I eventually picked it up."

"what?!"

Upon hearing Shi An's words, Shi Hao, Mao Qiu, and Xiao Hong were all startled, and their eyes turned to him simultaneously.

Looking at Shi An slowly approaching, Shi Hao's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Brother, you mean... that mountain treasure ended up in your hands?"

Shi An nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: "That's right. Back then, during the battle at the Kunpeng Nest in the North Sea, Liu Shen killed the Devouring Sky Sparrow, and the mountain treasure fell into the sea as well, which I later found by chance."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao was deeply shocked.

That was a treasure of the mountains, which not only caused the four Venerables, including Xiao Hong and Mao Qiu, to fight for it, but even the giants of the upper realm spared no expense to search for it in the lower realm. Now, Shi An actually said that it was in his hands. How could Shi Hao not be surprised?

"Then...brother, have you figured out the secrets behind it yet?"

Finally, Shi Hao spoke up, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

However, Shi An did not respond directly to this. Instead, he turned to look at a group of young people who were quietly cultivating not far away and chuckled, "Didn't you see that?"

"Ok?"

Shi An's words puzzled Shi Hao, but when his gaze shifted to the child who was cultivating, he instantly understood.

"So... everyone is now practicing a treasure technique from the mountain's treasures?!"

Shi Hao stared wide-eyed at Shi An in disbelief, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up inside him.

He never expected that the extraordinary power hidden in that mountain treasure had already been deciphered by Shi An, who had even taught it to the children.
