On that day, Liu Village fell into a busy and bustling atmosphere.

The Swallowing Sky Sparrow was a Pureblood creature. Even after death, its flesh was still quite tough. Therefore, Lin Zhuang and others had to personally undertake the laborious task of bleeding and butchering this Pure Ancient Inheritance beast with their sharp blades.

The Swallowing Sky Sparrow, with its colossal stature of several hundred meters and mountain-like weight, even after some of its precious Beast Blood was lost from spillage mid-air, it still managed to fill ten big ceramic pots to the brim. Each pot was as tall as a full-grown man.

"Fantastic, truly fantastic." Old Man Lin jogged around the Pure Ancient inheritance creature, laughing so much that his mouth almost couldn't close. Especially when he looked at the ceramic pots full of blood, his eyes were almost bulging out.

With so much Beast Blood, even if all the naughty kids in the village underwent body tempering through Medicine Bath, there would still be plenty left.

Of course, Old Man Lin could only think about this in his heart.

The purer the bloodline of an Ancient Inheritance, the more intense and terrifying the energy contained within its blood. Not to mention this genuine Pure Ancient Inheritance, even the Beast Blood of a normal Ancient Inheritance would probably be too heavy for the kids to handle.

It is worth mentioning that by noon, the sky was suddenly overcast, and it occasionally drizzled. The drops were as big as soybeans, rendering the environment diffused with precipitating sounds…

However, this could not dampen the high spirits of the villagers in Liu Village. Everyone was full of enthusiasm, and their activities were in full swing.

"Older brothers, bring these pots inside the house quickly." Old Man Lin turned his head and instructed Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen.

The fresh blood of the Pure Ancient Inheritance was too precious; even though adding a bit of water would not cause any impact, it is better not to dilute it if possible.

The swallowing sky sparrow was so big that even if all the women in the village were mobilized, they still spent half a day to finish butchering it before dusk.

In the evening, bonfires were blazing, illuminating the night and warding off the cold.

In front of the bonfire, men and women were singing and dancing, laughing and enjoying themselves. Their faces overflowed with happiness and satisfaction coming from their hearts.

Old Man Lin waved his hand, and immediately someone brought huge chunks of swallow meat. After sprinkling some mountain salt and natural spices, the meat was directly roasted over the fire.

Little Black arrived as promised, showing more enthusiasm than ever before that it ate several big chunks in one meal.

The children in the village were also giving their all, stuffing their mouths with meat. Their whole mouths were oily, and even their little beast robes were dripping with golden oil.

They had no choice because the Swallowing Sky Sparrow's meat was incomparably more delicate and tender than any other Ferocious Beast they had eaten before, without a single chewy spot.

"Alright, you naughty kids, this is the meat of a Pure Ancient Inheritance, eating a small piece is enough." Seeing the children with their bellies round from eating, Old Man Lin said with a smile.

Although the energy contained in the meat was not as vigorous as its blood, it was still more than these little fellows could bear.

"Go, take these youngsters to have a good rest, they will gain quite a bit of strength by tomorrow." Old man Lin waved his hand and said.

Finally, when everyone else had left, only Tu Dequan and Gu Cheng remained. Their age was just right, and their talent was the strongest, they were the best candidates in the village to have a Medicine Bath with the Beast Blood of the Pure Ancient Inheritance.

"Snap, crackle…"

Underneath the cauldron, the fire was raging so much that the flames jumped over half a man's height. Originally crimson blood turned into black syrup, extremely thick and sticky. One could faintly hear some terrifying beast roars. Not only that, above these two cauldrons, a ghostly image of a Swallowing Sky Sparrow appeared, swallowing stars, casually consuming countless spirits, its fierce and torrential might making people feel uneasy.

"Pompous even in death!" Tu Wa Zi snapped, oozing arrogance. He swung with a force of a hundred thousand kilograms, shattering the illusion of the Swallowing Sky Sparrow directly.

"Come on, you two. Get in there. The medicine has been prepared. As long as you can endure, you can comprehend the Treasured Technique of this Pure Ancient Inheritance!"

The old man Lin had a beaming face as he watched the two children jump into the Big Pot.

Excitement painted the faces of Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen; they couldn't help but yearn for the Treasured Technique of the Pure Ancient Inheritance. However, the moment they jumped in, Tu Wa Zi almost jumped out due to the pain.

The medicinal potency of the Pure Ancient Inheritance's fresh blood was indeed too fierce. Even though many precious herbs had been added to neutralize it, it was still like a knife, seeming to penetrate skin and bones alike. Even more terrifying, this black syrup did not simply wash their bodies, but surged directly into their bodies, furiously destroying their meridians. Only those who were incredibly physically robust, and had an indomitable will could withstand this agony.

Tu Wa Zi's heart fluttered with fear. He cast a surreptitious glance at Gu Chen and discovered that his brows were merely furrowed.

"Truly a strange one!" After murmuring under his breath, Tu Wa Zi gritted his teeth and sank back into the Cauldron.

He was slightly lacking in cultivation, but he couldn't admit defeat in this area. Fortunately, both managed to endure till the end. As the medicinal potency was gradually absorbed, a faint black glow appeared on the skin of the two boys. Their bodies became crystalline, their statures somewhat taller. It was evident that the Medicine bath had greatly benefited them.

"These are the Treasured Bones of the Pure Ancient Inheritance. They contain its unbeatable Treasured Technique. You must comprehend them mindfully.

Old man Lin took out the Treasured Bones of the Swallowing Sky Sparrow and handed them to Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen.

This Treasured Technique was horribly demanding. Only those who could withstand the blood tempering were qualified to practice it, otherwise they simply wouldn't be able to get started.

Eventually,

Some elders in the village stayed behind to clean up the remaining liquid in the Big Pot, not wasting a drop. They continued adding firewood under the Pot, boiling the liquid completely dry. In the process, Old man Lin added some special herbs to the Pot.

When everything in the Pot was boiled into a black powdery substance, they finally put out the fire.

-Not a small amount!" Old man Lin scooped out the black powder with a specially made shovel and carefully placed it in a beast skin pouch.

This was Medicine Powder, extremely precious. The purer the beast blood, the more apparent the effect of the produced powder. It not only served as a supplement but also as a healing treasure, capable of quickly stopping bleeding and potentially saving lives at critical moments.

At the top of the mountain, Jiang Hui also smiled at this warm scene.

However, he felt a slight sense of melancholy afterwards.

The Swallowing Sky Sparrow had instigated a volcanic eruption while vying for the Mountain Treasure against several other Pure Ancient Inheritances. The roaring hot magma spread over a hundred thousand miles, devastating this territory entirely.

The Willow God of Stone Village could relocate the entire village to another place with richer resources, but he currently lacked that ability.

But looking at the raging fire that had devastated the territory, he wasn't sure how many years or months it would take to restore it to its original state.

Resources were scarce!

The only good news was that he had installed a Spirit Gathering Array around Liu Village long ago. Spiritual Energy fanned out like tidal waves. The farther the distance, the weaker the effect, but at least it had some effect, which accelerated the recovery of this territory..
