Primordial Era: At the beginning, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor invited me to drink beast milk, and

The villagers deftly moved the medicinal herbs they had collected over the years to a large, ancient cauldron.

Several elderly people carefully took out the precious medicinal herbs that their families had treasured for many years.

Those medicinal herbs, whether wild-grown or carefully cultivated, each contain the gifts of time.

An ancient bronze cauldron was brought out.

This is a treasure passed down through generations in Xiaohe Village. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the body of the tripod has been coated with a unique luster by the marks of time.

The medicinal herbs were carefully placed inside, and their delicate fragrance instantly filled the air.

Qin Yuan held the pottery jar, his expression focused.

In order to control the use of her essence blood, Yunshang specially set up an ingenious restriction on the pottery jar.

The reason for releasing this precious essence of the witch clan in one drop at a time was to prevent Qin Yuan from bearing too much power at once.

The moment that drop of deep red, blood-like liquid fell into the bronze cauldron, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

The moment the essence blood fell into the medicinal liquid, an astonishing change suddenly erupted.

The medicinal liquid in the bronze cauldron instantly boiled, and streaks of blood-red light weaved through the cauldron like swimming dragons.

The herbs seemed to come alive, spinning and merging wildly, emitting a heart-pounding energy wave.

The crimson light was almost tangible, flowing freely within the cauldron.

The originally clear liquid instantly turned into an eerie blood red, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, as if imprisoned by this force.

The Willow God keenly sensed the change and immediately set up a barrier to cover the entire village.

The emerald green light enveloped the entire Xiaohe Village, isolating it from all outside prying eyes.

The villagers held their breath, staring intently at the large bronze cauldron.

No one dared to make a move; everyone felt the extraordinary nature of this power.

The crimson glow within the bronze cauldron grew increasingly intense, and a strange medicinal fragrance gradually permeated the air.

The medicinal fragrance seemed to possess a magical vitality, gently caressing everyone's skin.

The old village chief stood beside the medicine cauldron and took a deep breath.

His previously slightly aged face instantly became rosy and energetic, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.

"Great medicine! It's really great medicine!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Once this tempering is completed, this cauldron will surely become a treasure."

"Even if the body-tempering fluid is made from ordinary materials in the future, its efficacy will probably be much higher than that of the normal one."

"Thanks to Xiao Yuan, if it weren't for him, we would never have encountered such an opportunity!"

The surrounding villagers all chimed in.

The villagers had complex and deep feelings for Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan is an orphan; his parents died unexpectedly shortly after his birth.

He was raised by the entire village, so everyone treated him like their own child.

Shi Hao, in particular, being an orphan who had also lost his parents, had the closest relationship with Qin Yuan.

The adults looked at their own children who knew nothing, and then at Qin Yuan who was already contributing to the village, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Our children don't understand anything yet, look at Qin Yuan!"

"Yes, they've brought such great opportunities to the village."

As time went on, the medicinal liquid in the bronze cauldron became increasingly thick.

The villagers took turns keeping watch, and no one left, afraid of missing this extraordinary encounter.

As night fell, a bonfire blazed in the center of the village.

The flickering flames illuminated everyone's focused faces.

The power contained in the essence blood of the Wu clan far exceeded everyone's imagination, and the refining process was extremely difficult and lengthy.

"Come over here, all the children!"

The old village chief suddenly shouted.

Instantly, the village children flocked to the scene.

Xiao Shihao walked at the front, right next to Qin Yuan.

The two orphans, who depended on each other for survival, stood out conspicuously in the crowd.

The other children whispered excitedly, filled with curiosity about what was about to happen.

The adults watched this scene solemnly, as if witnessing an important ceremony.

The bronze cauldron has finally completed its final transformation.

The crimson light receded, replaced by a deep and mysterious liquid.

The liquid was a strange color between blood red and jet black, radiating a chilling energy.

The old village chief carefully took out the prepared wooden bucket and began to cast a spell to distribute the contents.

These wooden barrels were made in advance from special spirit wood, capable of holding such precious body-tempering fluid.

Streams of blood-red liquid, like fine threads, were precisely dispersed into each wooden barrel.

When the liquid falls into the wooden bucket filled with spiritual water, a wondrous fusion reaction occurs instantly.

Two of the wooden barrels contained significantly more liquid than the others, accounting for almost 80% of the total.

This scene did not cause any controversy.

The villagers knew perfectly well that, in terms of merit and talent, none other than Qin Yuan and Shi Hao deserved it.

This precious body-tempering fluid is not something that everyone can fully absorb.

Ordinary children have limited absorption capacity and simply cannot withstand such a strong medicinal effect.

Qin Yuan and Shi Hao were the only ones qualified to absorb most of the medicinal liquid.

The old village chief looked around and said solemnly, "Ready to begin!"

In no time, the parents in the village began to take action.

They grabbed their own children and threw them into a wooden tub filled with medicine without hesitation.

Then, more children were thrown into the barrel.

Screams erupted one after another, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

Each child felt a burning pain, as if every cell in their body was burning intensely.

"Ah! So hot!"

"Help! It hurts!"

"I'm going to die, it hurts so much!"

……

The cries of children rose and fell.

The liquid in those wooden barrels may seem mild, but it actually contains astonishing energy.

Upon contact with the skin, it feels like being scorched by a raging fire.

They struggled desperately, but their own parents held them firmly in the wooden tub.

Qin Yuan and Shi Hao jumped into the wooden barrel one after the other.

As soon as Shi Hao came into contact with the liquid, he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The intense heat seemed to tear his body apart, and every inch of his skin trembled violently.

However, he did not choose to quit. Instead, he gritted his teeth and began to circulate his internal energy.

The children around them looked at them with pity.

The addition of just a little medicine was already excruciating, let alone the agony they were going through.

Qin Yuan's experience upon entering the wooden tub was completely different.

The blood-red liquid felt like a warm cocoon, gently enveloping him.

Qin Yuan felt a strange sense of comfort.

The medicine seemed to be smoothing out his meridians, gently transforming his body.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared on Qin Yuan's body.

That was a sign of breaking through to the Blood Transformation Realm.

The light, like fine threads, slowly wove together, enveloping his entire body.

The surrounding medicinal liquid seemed to be drawn in by some force, and began to converge into Qin Yuan's body.

The energy that was originally rampant and violent has now become as docile as a lamb.

As the last ray of light faded, Qin Yuan opened his eyes.

He has broken through to the Blood Transformation Realm!
