In this God-Demon World, where the strong prey on the weak, such matters were commonplace and nothing to be surprised about.
The two ascended the steps and entered the Alchemy Hall. The two Golden-Spotted Spiders guarding the entrance ignored them, allowing them to pass.
Inside the hall, the scent of herbs and the stench of blood were even stronger. Faintly, they could also hear the roars and howls of ancient beasts.
Shi Ziteng had been here many times before and was very familiar with the layout. He led Shi Yi directly towards the deepest part of the hall.
At the end of the passage lay a secret chamber, specifically prepared as a foundation-building location for the Pure-Blood Descendants. Given Shi Yi's talent, his baptism would undoubtedly take place in that chamber.
By the time the father and son entered the chamber, the Old Golden Spider and the Azure-Eyed Demon Spider had been waiting for a long time.
The chamber was vast; in fact, it was more like a plaza. It was empty and shrouded in a chaotic mist, with no discernible boundaries.
The Old Golden Spider was the most eye-catching, radiating a golden light as if cast from pure gold, shimmering within the chaotic mist.
The Azure-Eyed Demon Spider was quite eye-catching, its dark, emerald-green form a stark contrast to the Old Golden Spider's brilliant, radiant appearance.
In front of the two great spiders of the Venerable Realm, a tall Alchemy Furnace stood majestically. Even from a distance, a primal aura swept over, giving off a sense of immense weight and power.
The surface of the Alchemy Furnace was covered in grooves and intricate patterns, bearing the marks of time. It was clear this was an extraordinary ancient artifact.
Being placed in this secret chamber to facilitate the Pure-Blood Descendants' cleansing, it was naturally no ordinary Alchemy Furnace.
"Ziteng, you're here."
The Azure-Eyed Demon Spider smiled, greeting Shi Ziteng and the other.
Following this, Shi Ziteng and Shi Yi bowed to the two Venerables.
"Let's dispense with the formalities and begin the cleansing," the Azure-Eyed Demon Spider said.
"Before the baptism, I need to remind you. One of the main ingredients for this baptism is a drop of God's Blood left behind by my Demon Spirit Lake ancestor from the ancient times. Although it has lost its peak potency over the years, the essence it contains still far surpasses the blood of gods.
Such a massive essence, let alone Shi Yi, a Blood-Moving Realm creature, even a king or a Venerable Realm expert from one of the regions could be overwhelmed and burst by the God's Blood.
Therefore, Shi Yi, if you want to withstand this level of baptism, you must rely on your Double Pupils and Supreme Bone, these two unparalleled talents."
"Thank you for the reminder, Ancestor. Shi Yi understands." Shi Yi nodded, thanking the Old Golden Spider.
At the same time, he was secretly shocked. God's Blood, this kind of thing might not be that heaven-defying in the upper realms, but in the Eight Regions of the lower realms, it was simply a heaven-defying treasure.
You see, in this era, igniting the divine fire in this world was already a luxury, not to mention ascending to become a god.
"Understood is good."
The Old Golden Spider gently nodded.
Saying this, it exchanged a glance with the Azure-Eyed Demon Spider, and both nodded.
Then, the two Venerables began their alchemy journey, throwing ingredients into the ancient Alchemy Furnace.
One by one, Ancient Herbs of considerable age were thrown into the Alchemy Furnace. They were of various colors and fragrant, each a great medicine that even a royal power like King Wu's Manor could hardly imagine. They grew in forbidden lands, places rarely visited, and only the creatures of the Ancient Divine Mountains could set foot in.
Besides the Ancient Herbs, many ancient materials and various treasures were also thrown into the Alchemy Furnace.
The two spiders kept throwing in herbs, interspersed with some unknown powders and the blood of some special races.
When the Ancient Herbs and materials inside the Alchemy Furnace piled up into a small mountain, the Old Golden Spider brought over the prepared ancient wood firewood, placed it under the Alchemy Furnace, and then opened its mouth to spew golden flames, igniting them.
"Boom…"
Following a loud roar, a strange golden blood flame rose from the bottom of the Alchemy Furnace, burning fiercely, releasing terrifying heat, and roasting the Alchemy Furnace.
The cleansing officially began. Don't look at the materials inside the Alchemy Furnace, already piled up like a small mountain; in reality, this was just the beginning.
The two large spiders, with over twenty legs in total, were working non-stop, adding herbs to the Alchemy Furnace. It was a dizzying spectacle to behold.
At this moment, Shi Ziteng was utterly shocked, speechless.
He truly hadn't expected that the two old ancestors from Demon Spirit Lake would be so generous, even producing God's Blood.
What did it mean to be a god? After divine fire came true gods, and only then did you reach Celestial Gods.
How precious was the blood of beings at this level? It could be called the foundation of Demon Spirit Lake, yet now, the Old Golden Spider had taken it out to use in Shi Yi's five-year-old baptism. It was truly incredible.
Furthermore, these incredibly precious Ancient Herbs were being tossed into the Alchemy Furnace as if they were worthless, stunning the onlookers and causing them to swallow nervously.
In the end, Shi Ziteng could only sigh, Demon Spirit Lake, as expected of the Ancient Divine Mountains, was truly wealthy.
"Gurulu!"
As the golden blood flames scorched and burned, the temperature inside the furnace climbed rapidly. Various beast blood began to boil, gradually engulfing the Ancient Herbs, and then melting their medicinal properties into the liquid.
Soon, an indescribable fragrance wafted out, and just one sniff made people feel like they were about to ascend.
"It's almost time, add the Sacred Herbs first."
The Old Golden Spider spoke.
The auxiliary herbs had been mostly added, and now it was time for the two main ingredients, which were both in the Old Golden Spider's hands.
The Old Golden Spider took out a sealed jade box. After dissolving the seal, it lifted the lid. Instantly, a holy silver light shot out from the opening, filling the entire secret room.
That unique aura and fragrance, belonging only to the Sacred Herbs, also permeated every corner of the secret room.
"Sacred Herbs!"
Shi Ziteng's breathing quickened. That was Sacred Herbs, a supreme treasure that even kings and marquises would kill for, and now, it was the main ingredient for Shi Yi's five-year-old baptism.
When the Sacred Herbs from Demon Spirit Lake entered the liquid inside the Alchemy Furnace, an astonishing storm of energy erupted instantly, and the entire Alchemy Furnace trembled violently, as if it was about to fall apart at any second.
"Boom!"
The Alchemy Furnace was activated, resonating with the Sacred Herbs. Various patterns on its surface lit up, overflowing with surging, chaotic energy. In a daze, there seemed to be endless roars of beasts coming from within.
"This furnace is called the Myriad Beasts Furnace. It has been used to baptize and lay the foundation for over ten thousand Pure-Blood Descendants. Over time, it has developed extraordinary spirituality. Once activated, it can mobilize the residual blood energy of the myriad beasts within the furnace, making the medicinal properties of the great medicine even more potent.
However, the price of activation is a bit high; it requires at least Sacred Herbs." The Azure-Eyed Demon Spider explained.
Then, the Old Golden Spider took out a clay jar sealed with strips of paper. It removed all the seals and carefully opened the lid.
The next moment, a sky-high amount of blood energy gushed out, carrying unparalleled pressure, instantly filling the secret chamber.
