"This...if the customer wants it, there is no problem, but...we haven't prepared that much, so improvising materials may not be effective."
The old patriarch didn't know why someone as powerful as Di Yi, who could fight against ancient relics, wanted to experience medicinal bathing. He had many ideas at the time, but he didn't refuse.
In his opinion, the strong may have strong thoughts, but they just don't understand it and don't understand the deeper meaning.
"It's okay, there are a lot of materials here, not to mention I'm just trying it out, I don't have much requirements for the effect." Di Yi explained what he meant, and indicated that his experience would not be in vain, and he could use the essence of a ferocious beast as a reward.
"That's it... then, guest, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to prepare." The old patriarch didn't refuse Di Yi's request to experience it. When he heard that he could get the essence of a ferocious beast as a reward, he became even more convinced.
Won't refuse.
Not long after, another cauldron was added to the empty space at the end of the village, which was prepared for Emperor Yi.
"This cauldron..." Di Yi looked at the big cauldron prepared for him. Although its color was the same as other cauldrons, it was black, but it vaguely exuded the atmosphere of time.
If you look closely, you can find that there are patterns of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers engraved on it, as well as patterns of birds, animals, fish and insects, and even old traces of ancient ancestors' sacrificial scenes, giving people a very special sense of mystery.
"This is handed down from our ancestors. It is rarely used on weekdays. Guests don't have to worry about the problem of filth." The old patriarch felt that it was not appropriate to let Di Yi use the cauldron used by those naughty children. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he
I simply put this big cauldron to use.
"Is it passed down from my ancestors..." Di Yi walked into the black cauldron and looked at a place. It was a depiction, like a map of mountains and rivers somewhere, and it looked mysterious and unpredictable.
From his point of view, this big black cauldron is very extraordinary. Just by observing it like this, it feels like he has penetrated deeply into the mountains and rivers, realized its general trend, and seen its vastness as a whole.
"What's wrong with the guest?" Seeing Di Yi standing motionless in front of the cauldron, the old patriarch stepped forward and asked.
"This big cauldron gives me a very special feeling. How should I put it? It is different from those other cauldrons. It doesn't look like an ordinary thing." Di Yi did not hide anything and expressed his feelings.
"It is indeed extraordinary, but we don't feel it deeply. We only know that it has a great auxiliary effect on medicinal baths and baptisms. It would be great if it can satisfy the guests." The old patriarch naturally also knew that this big black cauldron was extraordinary.
, after all, it is something passed down from our ancestors.
It's just that what he knows about extraordinary is limited to the literal meaning. As for the specific meaning of extraordinary, it's not very clear.
"Do you want me to use something like this? It's something handed down from my ancestors. It should be an ancestral weapon, right?" Di Yi asked.
"Hey, the guest is worrying too much. Although it is something passed down from our ancestors, it is still a used utensil. Everyone in the village has used it more or less when they were young. There is nothing taboo about it." The old patriarch smiled and shook his head.
He said, "What's more, as a guest, you are qualified to use it. To us, Shicun, you are not an outsider."
His words were sincere. Di Yi was willing to give away those mountains of "treasures" for free, so how could he be stingy?
Moreover, this big black cauldron was originally a utensil for use, and it was not used by anyone. Of course, the prerequisite was that it could be accepted by Shicun, and Diyi met the conditions.
"Then I will be disrespectful." Di Yi did not continue to shirk. The old patriarch had already said this, and he did not regard himself as an outsider. It would not be good if he was asked to get other utensils.
"Guest, what are you talking about?" The old patriarch said a few polite words, and then motioned to Di Yi to wait a moment, and the materials would be ready soon.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to bring various prepared things, including old medicine, spring water, or clay pots filled with unknown liquids.
For Shi Cun, a lot of preparations were needed to take a medicinal bath, but fortunately, Di Yi brought back too many things, and the most important materials were available everywhere.
That's why they were able to prepare everything in such a short period of time.
After all, most of the materials can be solved on site. As for other auxiliary materials, it is not a problem. The village has a lot of stocks and guarding the wilderness. The most indispensable thing is the old herbs and the sweet mountain spring.
"Use it as medicine!" When the spring water in the big black cauldron was almost boiling, the old patriarch motioned to several young adults to add the prepared materials into the cauldron.
After hearing the instructions, the young adults all became solemn and started their work, putting down the medicinal bath materials.
Some are several lotus seeds as big as goose eggs, which are black and translucent and exude a rich fragrance.
Some are fist-sized pink fruits, which look like they were carved from ruby stone, exuding a fresh fruity aroma.
Some are some very special grasses with four leaves that are shiny and translucent.
There are many materials to choose from.
Immediately afterwards, they opened some clay pots, which contained the essence and blood of some giant beasts, some strange little beasts, and some animal limbs that seemed to have been dried using special methods.
"Dismember the ferocious beast and prepare to inject precious blood into the cauldron!" the old patriarch greeted again.
After receiving the instructions, the young man geared up and used the sharp blade in his hand to hold many corpses of ferocious beasts taken out from the two "big mountains" to guide the blood to flow and grab the precious blood.
Generally speaking, the corpses of ferocious beasts are extremely hard even after death, and ordinary iron axes cannot cut them. Even with a huge force of five or six thousand kilograms, they will still be chopped with sweat.
Fortunately, the corpses of ferocious beasts brought back by Di Yi all seemed to have been ravaged by some terrifying destructive power. As long as they were peeled along the cracks, the wounds condensed by the blood could burst and the precious blood could be guided out.
Of course, it is a dead beast after all. Even if its blood can be kept coagulated after death due to its characteristics, it will not flow like living blood, so it is not an easy task to deal with it.
In addition to these young and middle-aged people working, there are also people who are engaged in other tasks, chopping up ferocious beasts, waving special broadswords, clanging like iron, and sending out strings of sparks.
There are many treasures in those two "big mountains", and there are many ferocious beasts that are relatively well preserved. They are taking the essence of their five internal organs to enhance the efficacy of the medicine according to the instructions of the old clan leader.
"Patriarch, come and get the essence of their five internal organs." After a short period of time, these people called to the old patriarch, signaling that the last step could be taken.
"Okay!" The old patriarch nodded, walked over there and took action himself, waving a jade knife covered with runes, as if blessed with infinite divine power, and quickly removed the essence of the five internal organs of these ferocious beasts.
"Is it still active?" Di Yi looked at the essence of the five internal organs that had been removed by the old patriarch. After they were separated from the body, they actually dropped into pieces of light rain, as if they contained unparalleled powerful divinity.
"The ferocious beast is extremely powerful and does not freeze even when dead. This is the essence of its body. Within a certain period of time, there will naturally be divinity that has not completely dissipated." The old patriarch explained, and then quickly walked towards the black cauldron.
Don't dare to delay, for fear of wasting the remaining divine power.
"Gudong Gudong..."
As all the materials were added in sequence, the cauldron suddenly became colorful, making it as bright as a light source, and a particularly rich aroma slowly overflowed.
"Bring it to a boil and make a great medicine!" the old patriarch ordered as he walked towards Di Yi, "Guest, it's almost time to enter the cauldron. Do you want to take a bath and enter the cauldron in your purest body?"
