Chapter 60: Black Cauldron and Pill Formula

A gentle breeze blew, and spring bloomed.

In the following days, Lin Fan occasionally instructed the children of Stone Village in cultivation, but mostly he delved deep into that battlefield, searching for traces of mountain treasures.

“Ah… I never thought that one day, I, a Cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, would be lecturing others,” Lin Fan sighed, looking at a group of children sitting below, some even older than him.

“Brother Xiao Fan, you’re so amazing! You explain things even more clearly than Grandpa Village Chief,” Xiao Budian praised, clearly having gained the most, unlike many other children who were still confused.

“Xiao Naihao, you’re very good. Your Comprehension Ability is almost as good as mine back then,” Lin Fan smiled. He liked teaching such intelligent and good students; they understood with a single point, without needing much wasted words.

Unlike some children, who wouldn’t necessarily understand even after he explained it ten times, Lin Fan finally understood why teachers back in school preferred students with good grades.

“Really?!” Xiao Budian, being praised, was especially happy, as if he had eaten honey.

Lin Fan nodded and then said, “Back then, I only started cultivating at the age of four, mastered bone texts in one day, reached the extreme of the Blood Moving Realm in just over a year, and surpassed the extreme in another year, with one arm capable of lifting one hundred and twenty thousand jin…”

Below, a group of children listened to his eloquent tales, all showing expressions of admiration, full of respect.

Even Shi Yunfeng and others were astonished upon hearing this. A pure Physical Body strength of one hundred and twenty thousand jin with one arm in the Blood Moving Realm—wasn’t this even fiercer than an ancient Vicious Beast cub?

It was hard to imagine that such a handsome child could possess so much power in his small body.

“I will definitely be like Brother Xiao Fan and surpass the limit in the Blood Moving Realm,” Xiao Budian muttered a vow, secretly setting a goal.

However, Yue Chan, who was beside him, was dumbfounded. She looked at the figure on the large stone, who was gaining a crowd of little admirers, and shook her head helplessly.

She almost couldn’t resist rushing up, grabbing his collar, and loudly questioning: “Do you even remember what you came here to do?”

“This guy’s actions are always incomprehensible,” Yue Chan sighed, lightly covering her fair forehead, feeling her head buzzing.

The two had been in the Great Wilderness for almost a month, spending every day scurrying around in the mountains. They were almost turning into wild monkeys.

Furthermore, after reaching the Nine Heavens, Yue Chan was supposed to return to her sect to undergo a baptism to further assist her in opening the Ten Heavens.

But all of this was stopped by Lin Fan, who promised her a better baptism, which was why she stayed.

“Young man, our village is small and doesn’t have much to repay you with. We only have this bone for you to observe. We hope it will be helpful to you.”

After speaking, Shi Yunfeng took out a bone from his embrace. It was as white as jade, crystal clear, like a palm-sized piece of beautiful mutton-fat jade.

Although this bone was not large, it was covered with dense symbols. Faintly, it seemed as if Heavenly Gods and demons were chanting.

Moreover, it was clear that the old village chief cherished this bone greatly, taking it out very carefully, fearing that too many people would discover it.

Lin Fan took the rune bone, observed it, and exclaimed, “Isn’t this the first volume of the ‘Original True Understanding’?”

“Young man, you recognize it?” The old village chief was stunned, glancing at the Willow God at the village entrance.

This bone had arrived in Stone Village with the Willow God on a stormy night decades ago.

Therefore, Shi Yunfeng had always cherished it, treating it as a treasure.

It wasn’t until today, when Lin Fan spoke the bone’s name, that he understood what the symbols on it meant.

Subsequently, Lin Fan also took out a bone. Although the materials of the two bones were different, the symbols carved on them were exactly the same, without any difference.

Immediately, Shi Yunfeng was shocked. He naturally saw that this was also the “Original True Understanding” and said, “Young man, you have it too?!”

Lin Fan explained, “To be honest, this thing is a common sight where I come from.”

“???”

Shi Yunfeng was dumbfounded. The treasure he had always cherished was, in others’ eyes, a common item. That was just… too much…

“Cough, Old Village Chief, there’s no need to think it’s useless because of this. The one in your hand is the original version, and for Cultivators, it still has great reference value,” Lin Fan said, knowing its worth deeply.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng’s heart, which had fallen to rock bottom, felt a little better. Otherwise, he could only use it to prop up a table leg.

…

In the following days, Lin Fan continued to explore the western area, leaving early and returning late, riding the Five-Colored Luan Bird.

However, the Five-Colored Luan Bird was somewhat reluctant, only wanting to stay under the Willow God and cultivate every day, without moving.

“Alright, once I find the item, you can stay in Stone Village forever and won’t have to follow me anymore,” Lin Fan told it.

“Chirp, chirp…”

The Five-Colored Luan Bird chirped happily, very satisfied with this outcome. It found that by cultivating under the Willow God, its Bloodline could actually be purified.

If this continued, sooner or later, it would evolve into a pure-blooded Vicious Beast, and its strength would greatly increase.

Little did it know, this was originally an Opportunity that Lin Fan had promised it.

“Brother Xiao Fan, I’ll look with you. More hands make light work.”

Just then, Xiao Budian’s voice came from behind Lin Fan. He was also riding a green flying beast, whose appearance closely resembled the Azure Sky Peng clan.

This was an exotic demonic beast—a Qing Lin Eagle—which had once formed an indissoluble bond with Stone Village. It brought three children and stayed in Stone Village, often cultivating under the Willow God.

“Good!”

Lin Fan nodded, not objecting. After all, the baby was a child of Luck, and with his help, it might be twice the result with half the effort.

After several days of searching, the two still had no harvest, but Lin Fan was not discouraged. The Great Wilderness was vast, and with more time, they would surely find it.

At the same time, he occasionally delved deep into the wilderness, hunting some powerful ancient remnants as meat. The unused precious blood was left for Stone Village.

“Old Village Chief, Uncles, are you preparing to baptize the children?” Lin Fan asked.

He saw that the people of Stone Village were busy, having prepared several ancient cauldrons, into which they added various old herbs, poisonous insects, and true blood, boiling them. The momentum was extremely grand.

Especially one particular black cauldron caught Lin Fan’s attention. It was carved with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and scenes of ancient people offering sacrifices, making it mysterious and unfathomable.

“This cauldron?” Yue Chan was equally surprised. With her extraordinary eyesight, she naturally saw the wonder of this cauldron. It was no less impressive than the Medicine Cauldron in her sect, and even surpassed it.

“Thanks to young man, the ancient remnants you hunted back during this period provided us with enough precious blood to baptize the children.”

The old village chief said sheepishly, feeling that he had taken a great advantage of Lin Fan and owed him a huge favor.

Lin Fan didn’t care. The blood of the ancient remnants was useless to him. He always used the best for his baptisms and had never lacked, so he didn’t need to worry.

“Old Village Chief, can the two of us also undergo the baptism?” he asked, his eyes darting around.

Shi Yunfeng was surprised, then readily agreed, “No problem, I just fear that young man might not think highly of our baptism, as the conditions are too poor.”

“It’s fine, you provide the Pill Formula, and I’ll provide the Spirit Medicine,” Lin Fan waved his hand, and a large pile of Spirit Medicine fell out of his qiankun bag, shining with five colors, shrouded in mist, and brimming with Qi.

Instantly, the Spiritual Qi in Stone Village increased by a large margin. The Spiritual Qi transformed into white mist, dispersing in the air. Just smelling it made one’s pores open wide.

“This…” The people of Stone Village had never seen so many precious medicines. One by one, they were stunned, their jaws almost dropping.
