All of this blood came from that enormous, pitch-black heart. Under the skilled hands of the many dexterous women of Liu Village, they disassembled the heart from the inside out. The heart’s meat would be used for tonight’s meal, its plasma for a medicinal bath, and the residues, later on, would be used to make great medicine.
In a brief moment, the Ferocious Beast Blood poured into the large ceramic basin filled seven large cauldrons.
Next, people came carrying basin after basin of palm-sized, grown adult-sized black chunks of meat, mixed with natural herbs and mountain salt, and dumped them into a special cauldron for cooking.
Other chunks of meat were skewered by thin wooden strips, placed over the fire, and roasted until the oil sizzled out.
Soon, the air began to fill with the ambrosial smell of meat and barbeque, and the blood heated up within the cauldron.
“Alright, let those brats in. This is top-quality beast blood for medicine bath.”
Old man Lin tested the temperature before speaking.
Suddenly, a group of youngsters was tossed into the baths with pitiful howls on their faces.
Of course, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen were among them—the two took the initiative and knowing the extraordinariness of this heart, they rushed to the front and dived into two large cauldrons.
“It hurts so bad, I feel like I’m being stabbed by needles.”
“Let me out quickly, I’m being boiled alive.”
“Mum save me!”
Almost instantly, this group of mischievous children began to wail, sending a cry that even startled the wolf pack several kilometers away. They mistakenly thought other beasts were encroaching on their territory.
“Behave and stop making a fuss. Last time, you lot even lured the wolves here. You bunch of little rascals, if there’s something you’re good at, it’s causing trouble.”
Dog Egg’s mother stepped forward, immediately silencing a youngster who was crying for his mother to save him.
Other parents also emerged, showing no mercy and pressing their unruly children deep into the Beast Blood.
Before they had arrived, they had already heard from Old man Lin. The beast blood from today’s feast was a rare gift from the Willow God, a huge heart. Even within major religious sects, such a thing was a scarce commodity- difficult to encounter and hard to seek.
“Alright, let the kids out, they’ve absorbed as much as their physical bodies can take. Soaking them any longer could have negative effects. Let’s get the next group in.”
Old man Lin estimated the timing and observed the skin tone of the rascals before speaking.
Although this beast blood bath was precious, its effects were different for everyone.
Not every person could exhibit exaggerated and terrifying physical qualities like Tu Wa or Gu Wa. Most of them were ordinary and their bodies could absorb a very limited amount of medicinal properties. Once it exceeds this level, it could easily lead to more harm than good.
A group of lads got out, then another batch climbed in.
Except for Tu Wa and Gu Chen, barely any other kid could endure for more than ten breaths in there before they were dragged out, their bodies all red.
Despite only staying in the cauldron for less than ten breaths, these kids significantly benefited from it, with faint glows emanating from their bodies; they looked like the children of gods.
That pitch-black heart was extraordinary. Although it had been dead for some time, it still retained its high medicinal value and residual force. Even the erosion of time couldn’t wipe it out completely.
Two hours later, Tu Wa and Gu Chen finally jumped out of the Bronze Cauldron.
The beast blood in the cauldron had almost run out; nearly all of its medicinal effects had been absorbed by the two boys.
“Kid, can you still hold on?” Old man Lin said with a smiling face, looking kind and friendly.
“Yes!”
The two boys nodded simultaneously.
Before, they might not have been able to, but after their journey in the Void God Realm, both boys were greatly benefited, able to withstand more medicinal baths.
“Alright then, the remaining beast blood is yours. But how much you can use depends entirely on your own good fortune.”
Old man Lin waved his hand with a smile.
Tu Wa and Gu Chen were incredibly excited, said nothing further, chose a large cauldron each, and jumped in.
After absorbing nearly half of the medicine on the field, the two cheeky boys finally stopped.
This scene astonished the surrounding villagers of Liu Village.
They looked at Tu Wa and Gu Chen, then at their own children, suddenly contemplating trying to start over.
How could there be such a gap, despite being the same age, eating the same food, and drinking the same milk?
“Eat up quickly, the meat just came out of the pot, it’s still hot.”
After Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen fished out the cooked chunks of meat and put them into special ceramic basins, they called out to the people around them.
Tu Wa, Gu Chen, and a group of youngsters ran towards the roasted heart tubes.
They looked shiny and reddish. It was so fragrant and warm that you could feel it from a distance.
With a gentle bite, they tasted a layer similar to fatty meat, rich but not greasy, followed by a layer of lean meat, which melted in the mouth. Another layer of fatty meat was followed by another layer of lean meat, with a slight numbing and spicy taste that made their taste buds salivate and was very popular among them.
“I’m full. I really can’t eat any more.” Many of the mischievous children rubbed their round bellies with satisfied faces.
It wasn’t just the children. Many adults are also overindulging, making it difficult to even talk.
They hadn’t actually eaten too much, at most five or six pieces, even for the adults. It was just that the energy it contained was too abundant for them.
As for what was left, almost all of it had been eaten by Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen, Tu Wa, and Gu Chen, with little Eight from the Lin family having her share. She possessed a Pure Yin Body and was quite remarkable, but her appetite was much smaller compared to the four of them.
It was deep autumn currently, and the weather became chilly after dark. However, the bodies of many villagers were like a sun rising, warm and cozy, quelling the surrounding cold and making everyone feel exceptionally comfortable.
On the open ground, the bonfire leapt, people were singing and dancing after the meal, both men and women. Their faces were full of smiles. The lingering sounds of laughter filled Liu Village, spreading beneath the ink-like night sky, echoing the stars. It was a scene of peace and harmony…
Under the leadership of Old man Lin, some elders poured any leftover residue from the medicinal bath together and combined it with Treasure Grass to refine great medicine.
They initially planned to refine a blood replenishing pill as usual, but the final product turned out to be somewhat beyond their expectations..
