Spiritual Medicine Is Important

So, that was actually an ancient cauldron!

Shi Hao came to a sudden realization. He was too familiar with that black cauldron because it was practically his personal medicinal cauldron. He had been soaking it since he was young and had obtained great benefits.

This was especially the case when refining Suan Ni’s blood and Hairy Ball’s true blood. That cauldron had revived, releasing all types of sacrificial sounds and revealing traces of ancient ancestors and the heavens.

The sun, moon, and stars appeared. Archaic vicious beasts and divine birds soared into the sky, and there were even flowers, birds, fish, and bugs. There was a great mountain waterfall. Such a scene was extremely spectacular.

“That cauldron is truly formidable! It’s rumored that ordinary spiritual medicines can also greatly increase their medicinal properties when they’re in the cauldron. That ancient cauldron is a rare and precious treasure,” said Fire Nation’s old king.

They were all from ancient nations, so they had a deep understanding of Stone Clan’s astonishing clan-protecting treasure. Stone Clan’s ancestors were very conservative, or perhaps they knew how to take precautions. After establishing the country, they immediately hid the rare ancient artifact along with another main lineage’s inheritance.

Shi Hao understood more and more. That cauldron wasn’t ordinary. Even though there weren’t any strange spiritual medicines when he was soaking in it, with this cauldron’s property, the effects of ordinary medicinal herbs became much stronger.

Of course, this cauldron didn’t have any astonishing effect on him. After all, he had only used very ordinary medicinal herbs back then and hadn’t even used a single spiritual herb.

In essence, the main reason why he was able to reach this level was because of himself. It was just as Willow Deity said, the plants would wither and flourish.

He lost the Supreme Bone in his infancy and finally survived on his own. He was even stronger than before, and his potential increased greatly!

“Little friend, with your talents, if you go to Stone Country’s capital, I believe that the human emperor will definitely choose you as his successor. The four pill recipes that were passed down will definitely be handed over to you,” said a king.

The Fire Raven King sighed. “The world is hard to predict. Little friend, you should think about it more.”

Shi Hao nodded. He immediately thought of many things. Things were no longer the same as before. He didn’t just offend the Demonic Spirit Lake. Right now, Immortal Mountain and Heaven Mending Sect were both opposing him and because of this, many variables were triggered.

Luckily, he didn’t need to go to Stone Country’s capital because the truly intact pill recipe was in Stone Village. Why would he need to ask others for help?

Then, they sat down and discussed cultivation in an extremely harmonious atmosphere. Even though Shi Hao was a junior, no one dared to look down on him. Every time he spoke, he would hit the nail on the head.

He had an astonishing talent for cultivation, making the old kings sigh with admiration. They felt that his future accomplishments were limitless.

“Young friend, with your talent, you are destined to have amazing achievements. However, the human heart is unpredictable. You have to be careful about some things,” Nine Spirit King said. He was a very powerful old king. His cultivation was extremely terrifying, and he might become a true Supremacy.

He didn’t come from the archaic divine mountain and was only from a descendant bloodline. For him to have such accomplishments, was definitely astonishing!

Shi Hao was silent. He knew the Nine Spirit King’s good intentions. It was a subtle way of enlightening him, telling him to stay low and not clash head-on with the Immortal Mountain and the Heaven Mending Sect.

“Little friend, you’re destined to condense a divine embryo in the future, so why don’t you find a peaceful place and sit in seclusion for several decades? There will definitely be a time when you can look down on the world,” said Fire Nation’s old king, who was almost two hundred years old.

“Thank you all for your guidance and good intentions!” Shi Hao nodded, understanding their intentions.

However, he knew very well that silently cultivating in seclusion for tens of years was inconsistent with his character. No matter how mature he was, it was impossible for him to stay away from the rest of the world.

Moreover, he wasn’t particular about being on his own. Forcefully trapping himself was against his nature. It was difficult for him to do anything.

Ever since he walked out of Stone Village, he had always walked against the tide. He dared to face the storm and go against the difficulties to polish himself.

Shi Hao knew his own path and understood how to walk it. He wouldn’t put himself in danger, nor would he hide in a corner for the sake of staying alive. His path needed to be verified by himself.

This time, after discussing with the old kings, Shi Hao had learned a lot. After all, these people were cultivators who had stopped at the Formation Arrangement Realm for many years, and they were very experienced.

The most important thing was that these elders knew quite a few secrets. They told Shi Hao a few anecdotes that were quite helpful to him. For example, the old fire crow told him that there was a fiery mountain in the wasteland region’s westmost corner. There was a type of wondrous medicine, which was a rare treasure that could be used in pill recipes. It could be used as the main ingredient to help one become a supreme expert. Unfortunately, it would be extremely dangerous to enter that mountain range. Since ancient times, very few people were able to pick that type of wondrous medicine.

There were some similar secrets. For example, the Nine Spirit King told Shi Hao that there was a golden land in the wasteland region. Even the stones there were golden and possessed immortal divinity that could refine a person’s body. However, it was also a restricted area. If one wanted to enter, they might be shattered by the terrifying golden laws as soon as they stepped in.

…

Shi Hao stood up. He knew that he was a junior, after all, so he didn’t have much to talk about with these elders. After obtaining some benefits, he bade farewell and left this small courtyard.

“Brother Shi, it seems like you’ve learned a lot,” said the Rainbow Luan.

Right now, they were chatting excitedly. The big red bird drank too much and was boasting to everyone, saying that it had seen a heavenly deity before. It was a willow tree that was full of great charm and surrounded by chaotic energy.

Shi Hao gave it a slap, waking it up. He berated the bird. “Enough with that bullshit.”

Everyone laughed. Naturally, no one believed its words.

The big red bird was embarrassed. It realized that it had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the topic. “Do you all know where the Fire Nation’s Guardian Spirit resides?” It was because the bird wanted to become a disciple of the Vermilion Bird.

“In a bit, when Princess Huo Ling’er comes, can’t you just ask her for guidance?” The Nine-Headed Lion said. Soon after, its expression changed. and it looked into the distance with a serious expression.

Shi Hao sensed something. He turned around, only to see a white tiger hurriedly pass by this courtyard.

“It’s the Western Tomb Beast Mountain’s White Tiger King!” The Nine-Headed Lion said.

Western Tomb Beast Mountain was definitely a terrifying place. The corpses of archaic vicious beasts had previously been buried here. It was an ancient grave region.

A few descendants that were originally guarding the tomb slowly developed. After many years, they became a powerful force and were extremely famous in the wasteland region.

Quite a few people went there to dig for treasures. In the ancient era, there were people who obtained divine objects.

Unfortunately, only a few people obtained something in the end. There was a grave region with extremely heavy Yin energy, and from time to time, black mist would wreak havoc, triggering disasters. As time passed, that strange grave region became devoid of people.

However, the spiritual essence in the other parts of the ancient mausoleum was extremely dense, making the Western Tomb Beast Mountain even more powerful.

“This old white tiger sensed something. Does it know that we killed its grandson in the Hundred Shattering Mountains?” The Nine-Headed Lion said.

Divine radiance flashed through Shi Hao’s eyes. His enmity with the Western Tomb Beast Mountain wasn’t limited to that. Back then, when the Heaven Mending Pavilion was destroyed, the Western Tomb Beast Mountain and the ancient aristocratic family Tuoba Clan all joined the attack.

“Don’t worry, if it really wants to take action, it’ll have to go through me first,” said Shi Hao. Right now, his reputation had already risen, so if anyone wanted to find trouble, they had to get rid of him first. They wouldn’t dare act rashly against others.

Then, Shi Hao asked them where all types of spiritual grass grew.

He knew all of Stone Village’s five pill recipes. He had followed the old clan chief since young and was often soaking in medicinal baths, so of course, he knew every recipe by heart.

He wanted to break through in the shortest time possible. It was time to start collecting all kinds of spiritual herbs.

The amount he would be needed was just astonishing. Any one of the pill recipes required dozens or even hundreds of medicinal herbs, none of which ordinary. There was even a need for vicious beast blood, as well as strange bugs like Silver Sky Centipedes and Golden Scorpions.

“Underworld River Bamboo. It’s said that such a strange spiritual wood has appeared in the Western Tomb Beast Mountain,” said the violet mink.

“That’s right. I’ve also heard of it before.” The Fire Crow nodded.

Among the main ingredients Shi Hao listed, the Underworld River Bamboo was indispensable, to the extent that there weren’t any substitutes. That was why he asked seriously, never expecting to immediately find clues.

“Well, looks like I have to make a trip to Western Tomb Beast Mountain,” Shi Hao said softly.

“Brother Shi, there might be the graves of archaic supreme beings there, or even the graves of the Vicious Ten. If we are lucky, we might be able to dig out some primordial precious bones. Why don’t we accompany you when the time comes?” The Rainbow Luan’s eyes shone.

“We’ll see.” Shi Hao didn’t immediately agree, because it was hard to say what danger he would encounter. Then, he stood up and said, “Let’s go. We’ll go take a look and see if there are any precious medicines that can be exchanged in that garden.”

Previously, he didn’t know, but now that he understood what he needed, he naturally paid special attention. Apart from exchanging information, he could also exchange all types of treasures. Earlier, he obtained a sun stone, but he didn’t care about those spiritual grasses at all.

Now that he returned to that garden, he began to carefully look around. Sure enough, he saw quite a few precious medicines and some of them were really useful to him.

They scattered, helping Shi Hao collect medicinal herbs.

“Hey, the pure-blooded creatures of the Archaic Divine Mountains are here too,” someone murmured. Many extremely powerful auras appeared in this garden.

These creatures had apparently just arrived at this manor. The divine mountain had many medicinal herbs, and someone actually brought a few stalks of spiritual medicines that were hard to find in the outside world. Naturally, the price was astronomical.

“I made an exception this time and brought precious medicines to the outside world. I only want the rarest materials for refining artifacts. If you don’t have them, then don’t get close,” said a young pure-blooded creature.

Shi Hao was shocked because he saw someone he knew. Yun Xi, the girl in purple, was there, and she also saw him. She was extremely excited and immediately rushed over, her eyes burning with passion.

This was unimaginable in the past. Shi Hao had wrestled with her before and bitten her pretty ear. Yun Xi hated him to death. Later on, even though she didn’t want to take revenge after certain incidents, it was impossible for her to be this passionate.

“Hey, what are you trying to do to me? I’m warning you. Don’t get too close. If you try to sneak attack me, I’ll carry you away!” Shi Hao said.

What was shocking was that the peerless beauty Yun Xi who possessed an alluring appearance actually grabbed onto one of his arms and wouldn’t let go.

In the distance, a few pure-blooded creatures were displeased. There was no need to describe how beautiful Yun Xi was. She was extremely famous among the younger generation of the Archaic Divine Mountains and was a goddess in many people’s minds.

However, she actually took the initiative to hold onto that teenager’s arm. This truly left them shaken. They suddenly felt rather lost.

“Hey, have you thought it through? Are you prepared to let me carry you away and help me guard the village?” Shi Hao said.
