Medicinal Bath --- Part 2

The medicinal bath continued for quite a while, and the group of children were soaked until they looked like red monkeys. All of them looked rather miserable, and while looking at each other, tears dripped down with hua hua sounds. Only when the medicinal bath finish did they stop sobbing and finally feel relief.

While within the black cauldron, the little guy did not cry. His big eyes were looking around, and his face had a bit of a red blush, resembling a big apple. When he was lifted out, he looked as if he was drunk, swaying back and forth.

“How do you feel?” An elder asked.

The little guy burped, and said muddle-headedly, “I drank a lot, full now.”

Hearing this kind of simple-minded and pure response, the adults were all provoked into laughter.

“Tired.” The little guy staggered from side to side, and his little body fell into Shi Yunfeng’s embrace. He lightly mumbled something and slightly squeaked before sinking into deep sleep.

“Bring these children back and let them sleep well. By tomorrow, their strength should have increased by a significant amount.” Said chief Shi Yunfeng.

Finally, several elders put away the leftover liquid. They didn’t let it go to waste, but rather once again lit up the copper cauldron with fire and added some more medicinal herbs. They were going to cook until the medicine dried up and became medicinal power. Not only was this a type of tonic, but it was also a type of precious healing medicine. Bringing it along for the mountain range hunts could save lives.

With vile environments and difficult to hunt magical beasts, true blood really was rare and precious. They couldn’t afford to dispose such precious medicinal powder even after it was used by the children, and weren’t willing to waste any of it at all.

Naturally, the strongest villagers all didn’t care about this, since as long as it could close up a wound and save their lives, it was enough.

That night, all the children slept deeply. The next morning, many of these little guys were crying out loudly, as the old skin was being shed off in chunks, making their beds filthy.

“Go, get a bucket of water and wash yourselves clean. Afterwards, lift that lump of millstone.”

“Dad, that is what third brother uses to train his strength, how could I possibly lift that up?”

“Stop speaking nonsense, if I tell you to lift, then just lift. Are you telling me that we wasted all that true blood and bone medicine last night for nothing? If you really didn’t make any progress, then I’ll spank your butt until it turns into eight fragments!”

Early the next morning, Stone Village was active like birds flying and dogs jumping. All of the children were forced to move large rocks and copper cauldrons as they whined repeatedly.

The results were clearly obvious. The children all gained a significant amount of strength, and their physiques revealed an increase in power. However, if one were to say that they were reborn, then that was still a bit far from reality.

Kacha kacha!

The village head, chief Shi Yunfeng’s palm symbol glowed a brilliant light, and within his hand was the shaft of an golden-alloyed hammer. With it, he smashed the most precious part of the Dragon Horned Elephant’s dragon horn into pieces. Following that, he retrieved a portion of the Pi Xiu’s amputated claw bone as well as a small section of the Flame Rhinoceros’ red horn, and similarly pulverized them until they became fine powder. He then mixed these crushed bone powders with several fierce beast’s true blood, and put them together into the slow cooking beast milk. At that moment, the fragrance began to rise in spirals.

Afterwards, the elder threw in stalk after stalk of medicinal herbs. Soon after, the liquid within the pot became muddled, and the fragrance became even richer.

“Time to eat, little guy.”

Within the stone house, the little guy heard the yell and with a gulu sound, he turned around and then stood up. His eyes that had just woke up were still blurry, but as the fragrance leaked in, he quickly took a quick whiff. He immediately felt excited, and began muttering in that direction. “Smells really good.”

“Of course, this is genuine precious medicine, so don’t waste any of it and eat all of it.” Shi Yunfeng laughed and said.

The little guy consumed it like a wolf, and before long, the pot’s congee was completely gone. However, the negative consequences immediately appeared since he really was too small, and the medicinal strength was too strong. In this ordinary morning, the adorable little guy suddenly began to act like a problem child. His two eyes turned red like a white rabbit, and he began to run all over the place, shouting ah yah nonstop.

The pitiable large yellow dog’s tail was once again grabbed by him, and was continuously being pulled. The tail was almost pulled off, and it howled with tears for half a day; it disturbed all the villagers and caused chaos.

“Wei, little guy, why are you pulling up my brother’s wife’s fence?”

“What happened to the little guy, why did he run up to my family’s roof. Quickly, stop, don’t tear off the tiles!”

……

The villagers were all stunned. The ordinarily extremely obedient little guy transformed into a little vicious beast. He ran all over the place as he wreaked havoc while using all of his strength.

“The pot of medicine was completely absorbed, and the results are not bad.” Shi Yunfeng and several other elders were standing together, and they were currently quietly commenting, nodding their heads in satisfaction.

In the distance, many children saw the scene in front of them and became even more frightful of the chief. All of them were quivering and trembling as they stayed far away. Gathering together, they muttered in a low voice, “The little guy is really pitiful!”

The little guy’s palms shone and he lifted them up towards the sky. From those small arms appeared the bone text, and it flickered continuously; it was truly quite mysterious. In addition, his physique got stronger, and his speed and power were both promoted by a large margin as well. This was also the reason why the old chief was so satisfied.

Only after two hours did he finally quiet down. He scratched his head in a daze, and said in a low voice, “Yiya, I’m in trouble.”
