Three months flew by. During this time of cultivation, Shi Yi's abilities improved significantly, especially his understanding of Bone Runes and Symbols, which far surpassed his knowledge from three months prior.
The time to enter the Blood-Moving Realm was ripe.
His great-grandfather arrived as promised. This time, Shi Yuan brought good news; the true blood of a Heavenly Rank Ancient Fierce Beast had been secured.
Demon Spirit Lake had responded. If Shi Yi could be sent there when he turned five years old, the beings there, highly interested in his Supreme Bone and Double Pupils, would personally help him lay a solid foundation.
"Demon Spirit Lake is an ancient power comparable to the Ancient Divine Mountains. Even the current Stone Emperor treats the top experts there with respect. If Yi'er can be favored by Demon Spirit Lake, it will be a great blessing, with immeasurable benefits for your future," Shi Yuan said happily.
Back then, he was overjoyed when he learned that his grandson, Shi Ziteng, had joined Demon Spirit Lake. Now, his great-grandson had obtained this opportunity, naturally, he was ecstatic.
It was important to know that Shi Yi's talent was far superior to Shi Ziteng's. After entering Demon Spirit Lake, he would undoubtedly be given more attention. With the cultivation of Demon Spirit Lake, Shi Yi's future was bright.
Then, Shi Yuan also informed him that according to ancient records, if a child underwent a cleansing ritual at the age of five, it would have an extremely profound significance and impact on their future.
That's why the Demon Spirit Lake would allow a return, waiting until Shi Yi was five years old to send him.
Before that, Shi Yi had to continue cultivating in the King of Martial Arts Manor and undergo medicinal baths.
"Do you remember what I told you? This medicinal bath will be extraordinary; the blood of an Ancient Descendant will be added to the list of ingredients," Shi Yuan said.
Shi Yi nodded slightly.
"That was the mount of the King of Martial Arts, a truly living, adult Ancient Descendant, immensely powerful. After learning about your talent and abilities, this Ancient Descendant willingly offered its precious blood. You are fortunate this time. Strive to become as strong as possible before entering the Demon Spirit Lake."
With that, Shi Yuan brought Shi Yi to the courtyard where he had received his medicinal bath three months prior.
The elders who had administered the medicinal bath for Shi Yi then had been waiting for a long time. In the center of the courtyard stood the same extraordinary medicinal cauldron.
However, this time, they had prepared more and even more precious materials.
Given the importance of Shi Yi entering the Blood-Moving Realm, the high-ranking members of the King of Martial Arts Manor naturally wouldn't take it lightly.
They had Shi Yi sit down first, while an old man with profound cultivation explained the precautions for entering the Blood-Moving Realm and the various profound meanings of this realm. The others strictly followed the order, throwing one precious medicine after another into the cauldron.
"Chh!"
An old man swung a stone axe with a terrifying aura, chopping at a section of a grey-black tree stump. With each chop, sparks would fly out from the stump, even sprouting flames, as if it were about to ignite the next second.
This was Black Phoenix Wood, a top-grade wood for refining true blood. Using it as fuel to ignite the flames and burn the medicinal cauldron would further enhance the effect of tempering true blood.
"Crack!"
An old box was opened, and holy light flowed out. A glowing spirit fruit lay within, emitting an astonishing medicinal fragrance.
This was one of the most precious treasured medicines of the King of Martial Arts Manor, which had been stored for many years. Even when the King of Martial Arts was building his foundation back then, it wasn't taken out.
Like this batch of precious medicines, there were several more brought over.
Consuming so much at once would make even a King or Marquis-level power feel the pinch. However, the elders knew that as long as they could cultivate the Double Pupils, all the sacrifices would be worth it.
On the other side, an elder opened an old bone cage, revealing a terrifying creature inside. It was a colorful centipede, as thick as an arm, with a thousand legs, and it was hideous and frightening.
In addition, there were Venomous Three-Tailed Scorpions, Crimson Venomous Snakes, and so on. These creatures were all poisonous, far more terrifying than what was added during the previous medicinal bath.
With a wave of the elders' hands, they were all thrown into the medicinal cauldron. Then, one ancient medicine after another, with years of age, flew into the great cauldron. Furthermore, spring water containing rich divine substances was poured into it.
"Boom!"
The Black Phoenix Wood ignited, and the cauldron's refining began. This time, the medicinal bath was different; Shi Yi would only enter after the medicinal properties had been refined.
After everything in the cauldron was refined into a liquid, an old ancestor looked solemn and took out a handful of vibrant, dazzling precious blood.
This was the main ingredient for this medicinal bath, the true blood of a mature Ancient Descendant, and the quantity was substantial.
The moment it was taken out, it lit up the entire courtyard. The precious blood was fragrant, containing a massive amount of divine power and fragments of the Great Dao, far beyond imagination.
The old man was extremely serious as he poured the precious blood into the medicinal cauldron.
"Boom!"
Golden light radiated in all directions. The divine power triggered the medicinal liquid, almost causing it to erupt. Fortunately, an old ancestor was quick-witted and acted in advance, suppressing it.
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, a sharp chirping sound came from within the medicinal cauldron, echoing throughout the courtyard.
Inside the cauldron, a lifelike golden bird flapped its wings. Its eyes were cold and majestic as it looked down at everyone.
It was the King of Martial Arts' mount, a mature Ancient Descendant, incredibly powerful. This time, the precious blood it offered wasn't ordinary blood, but the most precious true blood. Naturally, its medicinal effects were astonishing. The dense divine power condensed into a large bird within the cauldron, shocking everyone.
"Quick, Yi'er, now!" an old man urged.
Shi Yi had been waiting for this moment. Without hesitation, he dashed towards the medicine cauldron and jumped right in.
Boom!
His arrival caused the inside of the cauldron to boil. The large bird, condensed from divine power, immediately attacked Shi Yi. The latter was unafraid, his double pupils radiating intense divine light…
The several old men ignored the situation inside. They believed that killing the large bird, formed from divine power, was not difficult for Shi Yi, so there was no need to worry. What was important was to seal in the medicinal properties and provide Shi Yi with the best environment.
Clang!
The lid of the cauldron closed again, and all the fluctuations disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Then, three ancestors acted together, activating the runes on the medicine cauldron. Some added firewood, continuously throwing in the chopped Black Phoenix Wood strips.
Gazing at the flickering, imposing medicinal cauldron, several elders were filled with both anticipation and emotion.
"This is the best medicinal bath we can provide for Yi'er. The next baptism should be at the Demon Spirit Lake. Let's hope everything goes smoothly."
"Do you think the Demon Spirit Lake will covet Yi'er's supreme talent?" someone asked, a hint of worry in their voice.
"The creatures of the Demon Spirit Lake aren't that foolish. Double Pupils and the Supreme Bone can only unleash their greatest power and potential within Yi'er."
