"Alright."
After speaking, Liu Shen turned her gaze to the adult Azure Scaled Eagle that was still lying on the ground, barely daring to breathe.
The willow branch, radiating a sacred green light, was gently swayed once more!
An even more powerful and vast surge of life energy and fragments of laws, like a sudden enlightenment, instantly flooded into the Azure Scaled Eagle's body!
"唳——!!!"
The Azure-Scaled Eagle suddenly let out a long cry that was both painful and wildly joyful!
Its body swelled up like an inflating balloon, and its originally blue scales began to rapidly transform, becoming deeper and more vast, like the sky above the heavens!
Its size increased again, with a wingspan approaching forty meters! A golden crown, resembling feathers, even began to appear on its head!
A terrifying pressure, far surpassing its previous power, more majestic and sacred, and faintly carrying the aura of a "Peng," emanated from it!
Azure-scaled Eagle... no! It should be called Azure Sky Roc!
It evolved. With the help of the Willow God, the thin Heavenly Roc bloodline in its body was completely activated and purified, completing a leap in its life level!
The Azure Roc, now fully evolved, no longer had the ferocity and fear in its eyes, but was filled with excitement, awe, and gratitude!
It lowered its proud head, its huge body prostrated on the ground, and uttered a submissive and respectful groan towards the willow tree!
This scene once again shocked the villagers of Shicun, who had just finished "educating" the naughty child and had come over to watch the excitement!
"That...that eagle...it seems to have become even more powerful!"
"It's the Willow Goddess! It's the Willow Goddess who has made a move!"
"The Willow God not only purified the egg, but also caused this ferocious bird to evolve?!"
"May the Willow Goddess be merciful! May the Willow Goddess be boundless!"
The villagers knelt down again in excitement, shouting praises to the Willow Goddess.
At the same time, their gazes toward Shi Hao became even more complicated.
This child is not only extraordinary himself, but also makes Ishimura and Liu Shen seem even more remarkable because of his arrival!
But when they thought of his earlier words, "I will eventually leave," a deep sense of reluctance welled up in everyone's hearts.
Shi Hao watched all this, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The Willow Goddess truly lived up to her name; her methods were simply unbelievable!
He bowed to the Willow God again, then sat cross-legged under the willow tree, his mind sinking into his sea of consciousness, eagerly beginning to comprehend the "Suanni Treasure Technique" he had just acquired!
As his mind sank in, the information about the Suanni Treasure Technique emerged like a brand.
Countless profound runes, complex operating lines, and the supreme mysteries of the Great Dao of Thunder began to flow and evolve in his mind!
Having just drunk the Suanni's True Milk, he already had a very high affinity for the power of thunder. In addition, with the powerful mental strength honed by the "Divine Guidance Chapter" and the extraordinary comprehension brought by the fusion template, he found it surprisingly easy to comprehend this supreme treasure technique!
Rumble!
As he gained enlightenment, strange phenomena began to appear in the real world!
The six caverns around him that had just been stabilized roared again, with the one created by the power of thunder shining brightly!
Strands of golden electricity began to dance and flicker on his body! A faint aura of thunder filled the air! And even, faintly, one could hear the deep roar of a Suanni, seemingly from ancient times!
The commotion here once again attracted the attention of everyone in Stone Village, but this time, they were already somewhat... used to it?
"Look! Haowa is practicing again!"
"What...what kind of technique is this? It sounds like thunder?"
"Don't disturb him! Haowa is cultivating; he's bound to develop some extraordinary supernatural abilities!"
The villagers whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with anticipation.
……
Just as Shi Hao was immersed in cultivation, the chat group of goddesses of the heavens became lively again because of his previous battle live stream and Huang Rong's successful transaction.
[Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun]: "It seems that this 'mutual assistance' is indeed feasible. The ferocious beast materials from your world are of great benefit to our cultivation. In return, some high-level combat techniques and alchemy insights collected by my Yunlan Sect may also provide you with some reference."
[Ding! Group member [Yunlan Sect Master - Yunyun] has uploaded a file titled "My Experience with the Advanced Xuan-Rank Battle Technique - Extreme Wind"!]
[Ding! Group member [Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun] has uploaded the file "Improvement Notes on Grade 5 Elixir - Qingling Pill"!]
[Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi]: "Our Qingyun Sect is based on the Taiji Xuanqing Dao. The Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique and the Ghost-Slaying True Technique are extremely powerful. This is a secret that our sect does not pass on, but... there are countless great Daos, and one can understand them by analogy, which may be of benefit."
[Ding! Group member [Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi] has uploaded the file "Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique: Enlightenment on Lightning Summoning"!]
[Ding! Group member [Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi] has uploaded the file "Slaying Demons and Gods: An Initial Exploration of Sword Intent"!]
【Baiyue-Yanlingji】: "Oh my—Sister Yunyun and Sister Xueqi are so generous! Then I can't be stingy either! Here are some of my little tips on playing with fire, as well as a little spell for controlling the mind. Little Shihao can take a look when he has time!"
[Ding! Group member [Baiyue-Yanlingji] has uploaded the file "A Fire-Playing Girl's Notes"!]
[Ding! Group member [Baiyue-Yanlingji] has uploaded the file "Introduction to Fire Charm Technique"!]
In no time, the group files were filled with several martial arts manuals and insights from different worlds!
The female protagonists were clearly provoked and wanted to use this method to establish a deeper connection with Shi Hao and the others in the group, and achieve true "mutual assistance"!
Just then, Huang Rong made a new move.
[Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong]: "@Young Desolate Emperor! Little brother! I used the ferocious beast meat you gave me, along with our Peach Blossom Island's unique spices and some auxiliary medicines, to make a few of my signature dishes! Try them and see if they suit your taste!"
[Ding! Group member [Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong] has sent you a private red envelope!]
[Ding! Group member [Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong] sent a group red envelope to all members!]
Shi Hao was immersed in the profound mysteries of the Suanni Treasure Technique when he was startled awake by a notification sound. Seeing that it was a red envelope sent by Huang Rong, he curiously accepted the private red envelope.
An exquisite food box appeared before me. Upon opening it, I found several dishes that looked and smelled delicious: a roasted meat steak, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with exotic spices; a thick soup made with diced meat and some fragrant plant; and a cold side dish made with animal tendons.
Just smelling that exotic aroma made Shi Hao's mouth water! He picked up a piece of roasted meat, took a bite, and his eyes narrowed slightly!
good to eat!too delicious!
The immense power of blood and qi originally contained in the beast meat seemed to have been perfectly activated and locked in by Huang Rong's ingenious cooking techniques. At the same time, it was infused with the essence of various spices and medicinal herbs, making it not only taste excellent but also warm and comforting after eating. Its nourishing effect on the body was even better than eating raw meat!
[Young Desolate Emperor]: "Delicious! Sister Huang Rong, you're amazing! This is so delicious!"
Shi Hao spared no praise for Huang Rong.
Meanwhile, the other goddesses in the group also received a small portion of food. Although the amount was small, it was enough for them to experience Huang Rong's cooking skills and the deliciousness of the ferocious beast meat.
[Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun]: "Hmm, Sister Huang Rong has such a clever mind. This cooking method can even better bring out the essence of the ferocious beast meat. I admire you."
【Qing Linglong 78.】
Lu Xueqi said it was alright, but she didn't stop what she was doing.
[Baiyue - Yan Lingji]: "Wow! Rong'er is not only beautiful, but also cooks so well! Thank you for your hospitality. However..."
Yan Lingji changed the subject and began to tease Huang Rong:
【Baiyue-Yan Lingji】: "@Peach Blossom Island Master-Huang Rongrong, you're sending me cultivation techniques and food, so attentive. Are you trying to become Little Shi Hao's... cook?"
When Huang Rong saw Yan Lingji's teasing, she wasn't angry at all; instead, she sent a smug emoji.
[Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong]: "Hehe! What's a cook? I'd much rather be little Shi Hao's wet nurse! I'd be responsible for all the best milk he'll ever drink! You can't be envious, can you?"
When Shi Hao saw the conversation between the two, and then thought of Huang Rong's earlier words, "I'll take care of your milk," he suddenly felt a little dumbfounded.
These goddess sisters... why are they all staring at my breasts... oops, I mean my animal breasts!
However, this feeling of being cared for is... actually not bad at all.
Chapter Ten: The Wolf Village Attacks, Shi Hao's Fury
!
The atmosphere in the chat group was peaceful thanks to Huang Rong's carefully prepared feast of ferocious beast meat.
The goddesses savored the small portions of the ferocious beast meat, which contained wondrous energy, and each gained a considerable amount.
[Baiyue - Yan Lingji]: "Mmm~ Delicious! I feel so warm all over after eating, even playing with fire is easier now! It seems like... my qi and blood are a little stronger? And the power of the flames I release is a tiny bit stronger too!"
Yan Lingji was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not just about satisfying her appetite, but also about substantially improving her strength!
[Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun]: "Indeed extraordinary. The energy contained in this meat is both gentle and domineering. After entering the stomach, it transforms into pure battle qi. I feel... that the bottleneck between me and the eight-star Dou Huang seems to have loosened a little."
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she became even more curious about the world Shi Hao lived in.
The effects of this ferocious beast meat are amazing!
[Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi]: "Indeed extraordinary."
She simply responded with a faint sound, but on her eternally icy and stunningly beautiful face, the corners of her mouth seemed to subtly curve upwards in an almost imperceptible arc, clearly indicating that she had also benefited from it.
Shi Hao was quite pleased to see the feedback from the women in the group chat. It felt good to be able to help them. He especially couldn't help but chuckle at Huang Rong's comment that she "would rather be a wet nurse."
He temporarily withdrew from the chat group's clamor and continued to sit cross-legged beneath the Willow God, concentrating his mind and comprehending the incomparably profound "Suanni Treasure Technique".
The faint fragrance emanating from the willow branches was like the most effective calming incense, bringing him peace of mind and clarity of thought. With each breath, he could feel the vital energy of heaven and earth and the vast yet gentle life force emanating from the Willow God, nourishing his body and his inner world.
Six grotto-heavens floated behind him, breathing in and out divine light. The Thunder Grotto-heaven, in particular, which was opened by the true milk of the Suanni, was now flashing with lightning and faintly rumbling with thunder, echoing the Suanni runes evolving in his mind.
The days passed peacefully and fulfillingly.
Besides cultivating, Shi Hao spends his days playing with the village children or wandering around the area with the hunting team, occasionally giving Pi Hou and the others pointers on how to cultivate the Blood Transformation Realm.
These peaceful and tranquil days, with family by his side and his strength steadily increasing, made Shi Hao feel incredibly comfortable and content.
However, the peace of the Great Wilderness was destined to be short-lived.
On this day, as the sun set, the evening glow painted half the sky red.
Shi Hao had just finished a day of cultivation and was about to go to ask Grandpa Shi Yunfeng about things deep in the Great Wilderness when a heart-wrenching cry and a cacophony of screams suddenly came from the direction of the village entrance!
"Something terrible has happened! The hunting party is in trouble!"
"Quick! Go check! Many people are injured!"
"Oh my god! It's Brother Lin Hu and the others! How did they get so badly injured?!"
Shi Hao's heart sank suddenly, and his face instantly turned frosty!
He flashed forward like a golden lightning bolt towards the village entrance!
In the village square, the usually vigorous and energetic hunting team members were all injured, and several of them had to be helped back by others or carried back directly!
Their animal hides were stained with blood, many were deathly pale and barely breathing, and quite a few had severed limbs! The scene was horrific!
