Two days and two nights passed. During this time, the villagers, except for eating, stayed put, waiting for Shi Hao to come out.
During this period, the Great Cauldron's runes lit up, emitting various runes and sounds of the Dao. Clouds and mists swirled, and rays of light radiated outwards.
Until all the anomalies calmed down, with a loud bang, the cauldron lid was directly lifted, and Shi Hao shot straight up into the sky, leaping over twenty meters high.
The old patriarch stroked his beard and laughed heartily. Little Shi Hao had succeeded. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he said, "Start a fire quickly, add water. The residue inside is still useful. The previous medicinal effect was too strong, not suitable for the other children, but it's perfect now."
Little Shi Hao landed on the ground. A layer of black skin had peeled off his body, revealing a clean and crystal-clear physique, shimmering with precious light.
The other children looked on enviously and reached out to touch him. Little Shi Hao blushed and pushed them all away.
Long Xuan, hearing the commotion inside the house, came out and saw Shi Hao naked. He teased, "Shi Hao, are you planning to run around naked? That's not a good habit."
Hearing this, Shi Hao glared at him fiercely, took out his clothes and put them on, and then kept pushing away the surrounding big men.
Shi Yunfeng spoke, "Xiao Hao, come over here and test your strength."
"Alright!" Hearing the clan leader call him, he immediately ran over, away from those burly men who were touching and poking.
Starting with a thousand-jin great cauldron, Shi Hao charged forward all the way, and finally lifted a forty-thousand-jin great cauldron.
The villagers were immediately shocked. A child not even four years old could lift something so heavy; they had never heard of anything like it before.
With a shake of his arms, he could reach forty thousand jin. Long Xuan secretly clicked his tongue, remembering that Shi Hao at this age could probably only lift nearly ten thousand jin. It seemed that his arrival had caused a butterfly effect, leading to Shi Hao being so fierce now.
The other villagers, seeing his strong body, which was like a ferocious beast, all went forward to pinch him.
Currently, Shi Hao's skin was smooth and clean, his divine light was restrained, and he was brimming with energy, in a very good state.
The flesh and blood of the three ferocious beasts were all cut up and a large portion was given to the few ferocious beasts.
The Azure Scaled Eagle, after eating a few pieces, immediately began to glow, letting out a long cry before departing the village to undergo its transformation.
The other children were all thrown into the Great Cauldron. After being diluted, the medicine's effects had diminished, but it still caused them to howl and desperately thrash about inside.
Two hours passed, and the sun had set, with the moon's silver light scattering across the land.
One by one, the children, having been bathed in the medicinal liquid, emerged with red eyes and jumped into the river.
Long Xuan, on the other hand, sat cross-legged under the Willow Deity, enjoying a moment of peace. He gazed at Stone Village, his heart filled with tranquility.
"Sister, I'm going to leave for a while. It's too peaceful here; it's not suitable for me."
Several green willow branches swayed in the air, emitting a soft glow. A gentle voice echoed, "Go if you wish, no one can stop you on your path.
But don't forget, there are people here who care about you."
"That's right!"
A few days later.
Groups of strong individuals arrived one after another, heading towards Stone Village. Some rode silver unicorns, while others, the young lords, arrived on Jiaos.
An elderly man, followed by two adorable little girls, who were as beautiful as elves, youthful and lovely, looked curiously at the large willow tree and said in a clear voice, "Grandpa, look, this withered black willow tree has sprouted a few new branches."
Meanwhile, the other children began to scramble.
"The Willow Deity's branches are definitely treasures. Don't any of you try to grab them."
"Hmph, just because you say don't grab, doesn't mean we won't. Whoever is stronger gets them."
At this moment, a child who had jumped down from a Jiao looked at them arrogantly, "Do you all want to compete with me?"
The old man following them stared at the willow tree, and instead of stopping the children, he encouraged them.
Only the grandfather of the two little girls didn't participate, just watching from the side.
The child Jiao Peng, from the Luo Fu Great Marsh, spoke forcefully, "This is all mine. Anyone who disagrees, come and try!"
The disciple of the Marquis of Purple Mountain, who had a conflict with him, said calmly, "Don't be so arrogant, or you might die here."
"Stop arguing, just fight! Whoever is strongest, gets this!"
Lei Mingyuan, the most favored descendant of the Marquis of Thunder, looked at them coldly.
These words directly angered them.
They all began to use their Treasure Techniques. Black lightning crackled, and a light sphere filled with purple energy, like a sun, appeared along with a jiao dragon made of light patterns.
The Treasure Techniques of the three young disciples from different clans collided simultaneously, resulting in a stalemate. The shockwave from the explosion radiated outwards.
Attracted by the commotion, the people of Stone Village emerged. Seeing the group outside, they were initially taken aback before one of them said, "Friends, you've come from afar. Please, come inside for a chat."
Several elders exchanged glances and nodded. "Then we won't impose."
They separately stopped the three children, who, each unwilling to yield, haughtily entered Stone Village.
These children were disdainful of this seemingly dilapidated Stone Village.
Long Xuan, standing beside the Willow Deity, was marveling. To dare to make a move on the Willow Deity's branches... they're courting death. He chuckled, thinking, Heh, this time I'll get to see the Willow Deity deal with them.
The Willow Deity's few branches remained unchanged, perhaps feeling it unnecessary to deal with mere ants. Suddenly, it felt as though someone was gossiping about it, and saw Long Xuan's irrepressible smile.
Slap!
A branch directly struck his backside.
Long Xuan clutched his rear, looking innocently at Willow Deity, his small eyes filled with confusion.
"Go!"
After a moment's thought, Long Xuan understood and could only obediently go and handle it.
Watching his innocent expression, Willow Deity felt an unprecedented amusement, letting him poke fun at her.
The people who entered the village were completely shocked by the sight of Stone Village; it was a village of monsters!
Have you ever seen a child running around carrying a nearly ten-thousand-jin great cauldron? Have you ever seen a village eating the meat of ancient remnants?
What they saw and heard today completely stunned them.
Even the three kids who had been clamoring earlier fell silent, acting like ostriches with their heads buried in the sand.
They'd completely forgotten about their earlier squabble over the Willow Deity's branches.
"Wow, sis, look at that little guy still drinking milk."
Shi Hao was holding a clay pot and drinking milk. Hearing someone call out to him, he blushed, hid the pot behind him, and shook his head in denial. "No, you're talking nonsense."
Jiao Peng, thinking that this kid looked younger than all of them and thus weaker, wanted to regain some face. He unleashed his Jiao-shaped Treasure Technique. The others could see that few of them had good intentions; they ignored it and watched with glee.
Bang!
Little Shi Hao flicked his hand, and the powerful force sent the Treasure Technique right back at its source. Jiao Peng, still stunned that his Treasure Technique had been turned back, was immediately knocked flying.
Lei Mingyuan and the others twitched their mouths, looking at Shi Hao with the milk still on his lips. Jiao Peng, who was evenly matched with them, couldn't even beat a kid who hadn't been weaned yet? Wouldn't they be in the same boat?
"Wow, Grandpa, look! Little guy is amazing!"
A little girl tugged at the old man's sleeve, her big eyes blinking, bright and lovely, a perfect little beauty.
The old man's mouth twitched. Which family raised this savage child?
The other elders saw this and panicked, feeling like they'd stepped on a landmine today. They immediately said anxiously, "We'll stop here for today. We'll come back and exchange pointers another time."
With that, they led their children away in a hurry.
"Are you all leaving so easily?"
A playful voice rang out. It was Long Xuan, driven over by Willow Deity, and he was looking at them with displeasure.
He hadn't concealed his aura at all, and it was like that of a ferocious beast, deeply shocking those present.
That group of people all felt their scalps go numb. What was up with this village? Were all the young ones monsters?
They steeled themselves and asked, "Young friend, what is it?"
Long Xuan sneered, "You were just at the village entrance saying you wanted to take the willow branches, right?"
Everyone in Stone Village was enraged upon hearing this. The Willow Deity, as their Guardian Spirit, was sacred and revered in their eyes, and everyone respected her deeply.
They all planned to step forward and surround the group, but Long Xuan raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Everyone, I'll handle this!"
The others nodded in agreement, voicing no objections.
"Sister Willow Deity said, if I don't handle this well, I'll be in big trouble."
