Chapter 10: Ten Thousand Jin
"Clang!"
The top of the Medicine Cauldron was Sealed by a heavy lid, and all light instantly vanished, plunging the cauldron into darkness.
This was naturally done to Seal the medicinal properties, preventing even a trace of this batch of great medicine from being wasted.
Shi Yi clearly perceived all of this; he remained silent, quietly devouring the surrounding medicinal essence and feeling the various potent toxins coursing wildly like small snakes within his Body.
As the temperature at the bottom of the great cauldron grew increasingly scorching, all the Materials inside melted into a liquid, mixing together, and even Shi Yi, who was sitting cross-legged within, felt as if he was about to melt.
A misty Qi steamed, and various great medicines fused, producing some peculiar changes, faintly emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
Suddenly, on the inner wall of the Medicine Cauldron, some strange patterns were activated, emitting a shimmering treasure light in the dimness; at the same time, the medicinal liquid boiled, and a large amount of Divine Power substance and essence were refined, transforming into a vast ocean that surged towards Shi Yi, the only living person inside the cauldron, with turbulent waves, one after another.
"Boom!"
At his chest, a blazing sun slowly rose; it was the Supreme Bone exerting its power, devouring massive amounts of essential substances like a gluttonous maw.
Shi Yi's Twin Pupils also shone brightly, sharing the Divine Power and vital Qi that entered his Body with the Supreme Bone.
During this process, he did not Cultivate runes into his flesh and blood, but merely performed Body Refining to enhance his own potential.
Because the Old Ancestor told him that there would be even more potent medicinal baths later, involving the precious blood of adult Ancient Remnants, which was the greatest support Wu King Manor could currently provide.
As for the Heaven Rank Vicious Beast true blood, the clansmen who went to Demon Spirit Lake had not yet returned, so they would have to wait longer.
The medicinal bath lasted for a very long time, until the medicinal liquid in the cauldron dried up completely, becoming a paste, and all the essence was absorbed by Shi Yi, only then did it stop.
When the lid of the Medicine Cauldron was opened, three blazing golden lights shot out fiercely, and in the courtyard, the wind and clouds surged; all the Old Ancestors looked into the cauldron in astonishment.
Shi Yi's Twin Pupils, wreathed in Chaos mist, released brilliant beams of light; within the four pupils, profound runes transformed and flickered; this medicinal bath helped him peel back a layer of mist, gaining a new ability to release faint Chaos mist to the outside world, creating a combat environment favorable to himself.
At the same time, the Supreme Bone also received a certain degree of development; a terrifying beam of light covered with runes was being nurtured, and the overflowing pressure became increasingly majestic and frightening, making Shi Yi appear like a young Supreme.
He stood up from the cauldron, leaped out, and landed outside the Medicine Cauldron; the development of two powerful talents also greatly enhanced Shi Yi's Physique.
In the courtyard, Old Ancestors had already taken out cauldrons of varying sizes, arranged them in order from low to high according to weight.
Evidently, they wanted to see how strong Shi Yi's Physical Body was, even though he had not yet entered the Blood Moving Realm.
"Yi'er, try lifting the cauldron with both arms and see where your current limit is," Shi Yuan said.
Shi Yi nodded and walked towards the row of great cauldrons. He started with one thousand Jin; this weight was no difficulty for him at present; he could easily lift it with a single arm, even toss it into the air, and then steadily catch it when it fell.
Soon, he lifted from one thousand Jin to eight thousand Jin.
An eight-thousand-Jin bronze cauldron was actually lifted over the head by a four-year-old child; such Divine Power left the Old Ancestors of Wu King Manor present dumbfounded.
At their age, being able to lift one thousand Jin was already impressive.
One must know, this child was only four years old, yet he could lift an eight-thousand-Jin great cauldron; if calculated by value, it could already reach the late Early Stage of the Blood Moving Realm, yet Shi Yi had not even begun Cultivating in the Blood Moving Realm.
Shi Yuan's eyes shone as he watched; this child's future was bright, it was no exaggeration to say he had boundless prospects; he could rival the offspring of Heaven Rank Vicious Beasts with just his Physical Body, and for a Twin Pupils, the Physical Body was their weakest aspect.
Shi Yi did not stop, but continued to lift the cauldrons; he lifted all the way to the ten-thousand-Jin giant cauldron before his arms trembled and he stopped.
"Ten thousand Jin..."
The Old Ancestors in the courtyard were frightened by this scene, unable to believe that a Human Race child who had not yet entered the path of Cultivation could lift a ten-thousand-Jin giant cauldron with both arms; even the cubs of Heaven Rank Vicious Beasts were probably not much more than this?
However, Shi Yi was not satisfied; he threw down the ten-thousand-Jin giant cauldron, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
The reason he could lift the ten-thousand-Jin great cauldron was not because his Physical Body was so strong, but because of the Qi and blood power bestowed by the Supreme Bone, which allowed him to do so.
The medicinal bath did indeed strengthen his Physique, but the increase was limited; if not for the Supreme Bone's augmentation, Shi Yi estimated he could only lift a five or six-thousand-Jin giant cauldron at most.
And the Supreme Bone was merely a transient guest in Shi Yi's Body, destined to dissipate one day.
To surpass the extreme in Physical Body without relying on the Supreme Bone, to have one hundred eight thousand Jin with a single arm swing in the Blood Moving Realm, would be as difficult as ascending to Heaven.
One could only say that the road ahead was long and arduous.
No mistakes, one by one, content at a glance!
As he pondered, Shi Yi heard the praises of the Old Ancestors; every elder did not stint on words of praise, Shi Yi nodded slightly in acknowledgment, but no pride or complacency arose in his heart; he clearly knew his disadvantage in terms of Physical Body.
Leaving the medicinal bath courtyard, Shi Yi followed behind Shi Yuan, quietly contemplating.
To surpass the extreme in Physical Body, relying solely on the resources provided by Wu King Manor was far from enough.
The Supreme Bone was out of the question; it concerned the purity of his own blood, and Shi Yi did not want Shi Hao's blood to completely merge, risking any dangerous Karma.
Furthermore, if he spent resources to nourish the Supreme Bone and used it in the Blood Moving Realm, it would be a bit of a waste.
Returning to his Cultivation place, Shi Yuan left behind another pile of scriptures, much more profound and abstruse than the previous ones, and several times more in quantity; besides that, there were also large amounts of Cultivation resources, as well as primitive rune bones, etc., for Shi Yi's Cultivation.
After giving some instructions, he informed Shi Yi that the next medicinal bath would be three months later.
"For the next medicinal bath, you can initially try to smelt runes into your blood, condensing Divine Radiance.
Barring any accidents, the next medicinal bath will have the precious blood of Ancient Remnants added to the Materials list; at that time, it will be an opportunity for rapid progress."
Shi Yi nodded.
After Shi Yuan left, he began a new round of Cultivation; he sat cross-legged on the futon, with scriptures scattered on the ground beneath him, which explained the essence of runes and content related to the Blood Moving Realm; Shi Yi remembered every word without missing anything.
At the same time, he consumed spiritual fruits and precious medicines, nourishing the Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils while strengthening his own Qi and blood, slowly accumulating his foundation.
