Chapter 18 Then can I try?

"Oh, guest, it's like this. Yunshan and the others have gained a lot today. They hunted some powerful giant beasts. I think this is a good opportunity to let those skinny children take medicinal baths. They are preparing now."

The old patriarch explained and informed the whereabouts of the children in the village.

"Medicated bath?" Di Yi heard another new word and asked curiously, "What is a medicated bath? Is it named after medicine? Is it a way of practice similar to exercise?"

"Yes, guest, don't you know?" The old patriarch was a little confused. People from outside the wilderness should not understand this, but he quickly found a reasonable explanation for himself, "Is this method no longer used outside the wilderness?

?”

"Oh, can I take a look?" Di Yi shook his head and did not answer directly. He did come from outside the wilderness, but this outside the wilderness was not the outside of the wilderness that the old patriarch meant.

"If the guests want to see it, it's all right." The old patriarch replied, it's just a medicinal bath, and it's not something that shouldn't be shown to others. After all, this kind of medicinal bathing method is not only found in Shicun, but also in other villages.

The only thing that can be said to be precious is the five ancient prescriptions passed down from ancestors. However, the materials have been prepared. The most Di Yi can do is see the process of putting the materials into the cauldron. There is nothing to worry about leaking.

Time passed quickly, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

Gradually, the work of dismembering the two "big mountains" also stopped. There were too many giant beasts and ferocious beasts, and it was impossible to solve them in a short time. It would take at least several days of effort.

"Put away the processed part first. Those who can be eaten must be marinated thoroughly." The old patriarch warned everyone that such precious animal meat should not be wasted in Shicun, which is in short supply of food.

"Old Patriarch, don't bother me. There are still many giant beasts and ferocious beasts. The processed meat can be used as tonight's food. Well, just roast it and eat it." Di Yi stepped forward. These beast meat may be very precious.

, but he didn't care, so he thought it would be better to just use it as food tonight.

"Isn't this... too luxurious?" The old patriarch was stunned for a moment. It was not impossible to eat ordinary beast meat or giant beast meat.

However, most of the meat processed before was the meat of ferocious beasts. You must know that ferocious beasts are full of treasures, even the tendon meat is a great tonic. It is too late to cook it with all your heart, so how can you roast it and eat it?

"It's okay. There are two 'big mountains' here. To be honest, I also want to taste what the meat of the ferocious beast will taste like when grilled." Di Yi said, saying that he didn't need to worry about it.

"Then I'm grateful to you, my guest." Seeing Di Yi like this, the old patriarch didn't know what to say. After all, it was his property.

However, he also expressed his gratitude. After all, people in Shicun can also enjoy it, and perhaps their physical fitness can be greatly improved, especially those skinny children. There may be people in this generation who can enter the realm of moving blood.

Soon, a fire was lit at the head of Shicun. Just like the banquet that day when Emperor Yi was received, tonight's dinner was also held as a banquet.

"My dear, please quickly thank Uncle Di Yi. This is Pixiu meat. Even I have never eaten it. It is a rare and precious meat. Please say thank you quickly."

"You brat, don't just eat. Go and pour a glass of wine for Uncle Di Yi. It's all thanks to him that we can eat this rare food."

There was smoke from cooking pots and bonfires. While the adults in the village expressed their gratitude and appreciation to Di Yi, they also did not forget to remind their children to know something.

"It's okay, everyone, let's eat quickly." Di Yi felt that he couldn't stand such enthusiasm. Of course, the most important thing was that he was not good at dealing with children, so he signaled that there was no need for this.

The bonfire is beating and the stone village is very lively. In the cruel wilderness where ferocious birds and beasts are infested and life is threatened from time to time, any festive day is rare and worth cherishing.

"Okay, children, after eating and drinking, let's go exercise and digest. It's time to take a medicinal bath later." After the banquet went into the evening, the old patriarch felt that it was time to get down to business.

"don't want!"

As soon as the children heard this, although they had already prepared and knew that they would have to undergo a medicinal bath tonight, when the real thing came, they still panicked and just... ran away.

Of course, there are also many quieter children who know that this is something they must face and do not run away and wait for the "torture" of medicinal baths.

"No, dad, I don't want to take a medicated bath!"

"Abba, I don't want it. It's simply torture. Can you bear to watch your child being cooked?"

"It's worse than scraping with a knife. I won't be able to do it a second time. Abba, you can't catch me!"

The most naughty group of children resisted fiercely and dispersed into the village, looking for a hiding place.

Unfortunately, this was all in vain. The adults were so familiar with the village, not to mention that with their small arms and feet, they could not outrun the strong adults.

It didn't take long for them to be caught back, looking as listless as cocks that had lost a fight.

"You are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed. That is a rare tonic. If you can take medicinal baths consistently, it will be your strongest asset in living in the wilderness." The older generation said with hatred.

"Why are they so resistant?" Di Yi looked at those naughty children and asked the old patriarch in confusion.

"What else could be the reason? They can't stand the suffering." The old patriarch shook his head and explained, "In order to maximize the value of the medicinal materials, such as the essence and blood of those big guys, it is necessary to 'activate blood'. Guests, you should have discovered that those

The corpse of the dead beast has lost its body heat and its blood has almost solidified."

"So what the old patriarch means...the medicated bath needs to be heated, such as boiled?" Di Yi looked at the several large copper cauldrons arranged without leaving a trace, where someone was adding firewood to the fire and pouring a large amount of liquid at the same time.

.

"Yes." The old patriarch nodded.

"Isn't that the same as cooking people?" Di Yi's eyes widened. He had eaten meat cooked in tripods in Shicun. After comparing the two, he found that the process was almost the same.

No wonder those skinny kids are so resistant. For them, freshly baked food usually feels hot. If they were put directly into boiling liquid, it would be so hot that they would die.

"This is also for their own good, otherwise they would not be able to survive in this dangerous wilderness." The old patriarch also felt sorry for those children, but this stage must be experienced, otherwise survival will be a problem.

After all, if you can't even withstand this temperature, how can you face the giant beasts in the mountains?

You must know that in this wilderness, many giant beasts have the ability to control fire, and the temperature of the fire is much higher than the temperature of the liquid in the cauldron.

In this case, not to mention giant beasts and ferocious beasts, and even ancient relics.

"Is this medicinal bath very effective?" Di Yi asked.

"It's very big." The old patriarch nodded, "Such medicinal baths can not only help them break their physical limits, but also 'steal' the essence and draw the power of the big guys from the materials."

"That means that such a medicinal bath can help them acquire some of the skills of the big guys?" Di Yi asked.

"Guest, you have misunderstood. What I said about absorbing the power of big guys is referring to their physical qualities, just like eating to grow taller. It is 'stealing' in terms of strengthening muscles and bones." The old patriarch replied,

"However, there seems to be a theory, similar to your explanation, but it is impossible to really do it. After all, the body's functions dissipate after death, and the original runes will even self-obliterate before death."

"I see, that means Shi Yunshan and the others have that kind of one-arm power. Did they obtain it through this method?"

"That's basically the case, but the reason why they can finally achieve that kind of power is because they have the physical strength to fight giant beasts, as well as training and skills. It's the result of condensing runes."

"Then can I try it? I also want to experience it."
