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

Chapter 73 Leaving the Great Wilderness
“Tao follows nature…”

Shi An's words made the Willow God fall into a brief contemplation. Then it whispered, "You have a good understanding. Tao follows nature. All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Everything has its own reason."

"The path of cultivation is not just about deepening your magical powers, but also about sharpening and improving your mind. It's truly rare that you can comprehend this path through planting."

"Well, Willow God..."

Shi An nodded and was about to say something else, but at this moment, a sudden noise came from not far away, interrupting their conversation.

Shi An looked up and saw a group of children running excitedly towards the village entrance, and behind them were several elders of the tribe, each of whose faces was filled with joy.

"Xiao An, come and see what we caught!"

Pihou's voice rang out among the crowd. He was holding a colorful pheasant in one hand and a fresh fish just caught from the river in the other, looking particularly proud.

Seeing this, Shi An smiled knowingly and immediately went forward to greet him: "It seems that you have made a good harvest today!"

"Of course I did it the way you taught me. I caught the pheasant with a trap and the fish with a homemade harpoon."

Pihou showed off his achievements with a proud look on his face, as if to prove to Shi An his growth during this period.

"What are you so proud of, you naughty monkey? It's not that you are good, it's that Xiao An's method of teaching is good."

"That's it."

As soon as Pihou finished speaking, he attracted a burst of laughter and jokes from other children. They gathered around Shi An and talked about their adventures and gains of the day.

Some children showed off the exotic fruits they had found, while others told stories of the fun they had while chasing small animals in the mountains and forests. For a moment, the air was filled with joy and warmth.

Shi An looked at this scene and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Since returning to Shi Village, he has deeply experienced the warmth of home and the beauty of a simple life.

Although he was very happy about the improvement in his cultivation, the sense of happiness that welled up from the bottom of his heart was incomparable to that in cultivation.

"Alright everyone!"

After a long while, Shi An suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion: "Everyone has worked hard today, I will treat everyone to something good tonight."

As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of tiger meat brimming with spiritual energy from somewhere and introduced it to everyone, "This tiger meat comes from a pure-blooded ancient species. Not only is the meat delicious, but it also contains rich spiritual energy, which will be of great benefit to everyone's cultivation."

The children's eyes lit up when they heard this, and cheers rose one after another. Even the elders in the tribe showed surprise on their faces.

This is pure-blooded tiger meat from an ancient species. Although Shi An often brought some meat of ferocious birds and beasts to the village before, they were basically half-pure blood, or even mixed blood from who knows how many generations ago. It can be said that there are almost no real pure blood ones.

Therefore, after learning that the tiger meat was pure-blooded, how could the people of Shi Village not be excited and happy?

"Haha, Xiao An is indeed your name. He always brings us surprises every time he comes back!"

"With this piece of tiger meat, we must celebrate tonight!"

Everyone praised and expressed their desire to enjoy this rare feast.

Faced with this scene, Shi An just watched with a smile, feeling very satisfied. For him, such a moment was precious!
Soon, night fell, and a blazing bonfire lit up in the open space in the center of Shi Village, illuminating every excited face. Shi An carefully cut the precious pure-blooded ancient tiger meat into pieces, skewered it on a homemade grill, and slowly turned it. The aroma filled the air, not only attracting the children to drool, but even the adults couldn't help but look sideways.

Hu Niu's eyes were fixed on the skewers on the grill. She drooled as she said, "Brother, this roasted tiger meat smells so good! I've never smelled anything so delicious!"

Seeing his sister's impatient look, Shi An couldn't help but touch her little tiger head and said softly: "Don't worry, it will be baked soon, and then let my little tiger girl eat it to her heart's content."

At the same time, the adults around were also busy. Some were busy preparing side dishes, while others were adjusting the drinks. The entire Shi Village was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Even the elderly people who are usually taciturn showed rare smiles at this moment, enjoying this rare reunion time.

Time passed quickly and Shi An finally roasted the tiger meat.

"The meat is ready. If anyone wants to eat, bring a bowl!"

While shouting, Shi An quickly picked up a large piece for his little sister and put it in her bowl.

He also specially selected a piece of fine meat and respectfully placed it on the stone table beneath the willow tree. "God of Willow, please try this tiger meat. Although it may not compare to the delicacies you have tasted over the countless years, it is a token of our appreciation from the Stone Village."

"Ok!"

Willow God did not refuse Shi An's action. After a slight nod, he slowly stretched out a willow branch and swept it across the tiger meat.

"・・・"

Then, the tiger meat melted at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into nothingness.

On the other side, after seeing Willow God use it, the people in Shi Village also picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the pure-blooded flesh and blood of the ancient relics that they could never see on a normal day.

Before we knew it, the Jade Rabbit was hanging high in the sky, and the delicious tiger meat, paired with a variety of wild vegetables and fruits, greatly satisfied the taste buds of everyone in the village.

After eating and drinking, the people of Shi Village sat around the campfire, the children played and fought, and the adults began to tell stories and legends of the past.

Shi An sat quietly by the side, occasionally interrupting to share some of his experiences in the outside world, which drew bursts of admiration from the crowd.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, another seven days had passed. On this day, Shi An said goodbye to his parents again and left the village.

This time, his goal was no longer just the Great Wilderness, but the entire wilderness, and even the entire underworld.

In the early morning, facing the morning glow, Shi An rode the blue-eyed, golden-eyed beast Jinhuang and went deep into the Great Wilderness again. This time he did not stay in the Great Wilderness for too long, but traveled west all the way until he got out of the Great Wilderness.

After all, with Dahuang's apparent strength, it is extremely difficult to find an opponent who can make him go all out. As for those in the dark...
He still doesn't want to seek abuse.

"Is this the Great Wilderness?"

Another month passed. Looking at the green mountains around him and the outline of the ancient city looming in the distance, Shi An couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty and anticipation.

He pulled the reins, asking Jin Huang to slow down his pace, and began to carefully look at the edge of the wilderness.

As Jin Huang moved forward steadily, Shi An gradually began to go deeper into this unfamiliar area.
