Urine

"Kids, don't run around. You'll all have Medicinal Bath soon. Get a good night's sleep, and you'll be stronger than Ferocious Beast in the future."

"It hurts! I don't want Medicinal Bath. Last time it felt like being cut with a knife, it hurt so much."

"Father, let go, I don't want to be boiled alive."

"Father... no..."

Despite the adults' strong demands and their fierce resistance, the children were still thrown into the medicine cauldrons.

There are eight medicine cauldrons in total, and the water inside has cooled to the appropriate level. The water inside is dark and black, like ink.

"Ah! Help!"

The children thrown in wailed in agony. Only Little Stone and Ye Feng were exceptions.

The Medicinal Bath contains rare tonics, things that money can't buy. Combined with the True Essence of Ferocious Beast, after the Medicinal Bath, one's physical body can rival that of a giant beast.

Ye Feng and Little Stone are not inside the same Bronze Cauldron.

The Little Stone stayed inside the Bronze Cauldron containing the True Essence of the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.

Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros: Ferocious Beast, over ten feet long, with two heads, each bearing two horns. The horns contain true blood. It has a shield-like armor on its back, dwells in volcanic caves, and is as fierce as fire, violent and warlike.

"Clan Chief, after the Medicinal Bath, I want to drink beast milk." Little Stone Shi Hao asked the old Clan Chief without crying or fussing.

"I want to drink beast blood," Ye Feng said.

"Good, good, good. Hahaha, as long as the Medicinal Bath is over, Clan Chief will grant all your requests," the old Clan Chief said with a smile.

"Great, then I'll just have to bear with it a little longer," Shi Hao said.

"Little Stone indeed incredibly talented," a burly man remarked. As he spoke, the old Clan Chief began to enhance the medicinal power of the eight medicine cauldrons. "Unfortunately, in the entire Stone Village, only the old Clan Chief has mastered the mysterious power of the runes."

Driven by the old Clan Chief's runic power, the potion inside the cauldron began to heat up. Some children couldn't hold on any longer and climbed out. Little Stone Shi Hao and Ye Feng, however, continued to persevere.

"Gurgle!"

Suddenly, some strange things rose up from the medicine cauldron.

"Little Stone, Ye Feng, what lies before you is the True Essence of the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros and the Dragon Horn Elephant. Quickly shatter it, you absolutely cannot let it escape!" the Old Ancestor cried anxiously.

"Clan Chief, it's so hot."

Shi Hao shattered the True Essence of the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros, and the energy within the True Essence began to envelop him. Red light quickly enveloped Shi Hao.

Ye Feng shattered the Dragon Horn Elephant's True Essence, and the energy within that True Essence quickly enveloped him as well. Unlike the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros, the light emanating from it was yellow.

"Look... it's runes too!"

The adults in Stone Village exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm about to lose control!"

Shi Hao jumped out of the Bronze Cauldron. The energy within him compelled him to find something else to vent.

Ye Feng was the same. However, Ye Feng persisted.

Shi Hao picked up the Bronze Cauldron and lifted Bronze Cauldron up.

"I never imagined that this child's physical strength would be comparable to that of Primordial Ferocious Beast Cub. If we could baptize him with the True Essence of Primordial Remnant, then..." The Old Ancestor exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah!"

Ye Feng simply couldn't take it anymore.

Ye Feng burst out of the Bronze Cauldron, forming a parabola in the air before landing on a protruding rock on a sheer cliff.

"Ah!"

The burning sensation inside his body made Ye Feng want to find a place to vent.

Ye Feng swung his fist and slammed it into the cliff in front of him.

"Bang!"

A thunderclap sounded.

The ground trembled slightly.

The cliff couldn't withstand Ye Feng's punch; large chunks of rock shattered and fell to the ground.

"Bang bang bang!"

Ye Feng continued to punch the cliff face. Every time he threw a punch, the ground would tremble violently.

"Clan Chief, the Little Stone lifting the Bronze Cauldron is equivalent to the cub of Primordial Remnant. Ye Feng's punch shook the earth, so what about him? What is he equivalent to?" A villager from Stone Village asked the old Clan Chief.

The old Clan Chief was so surprised he couldn't stop smiling.

Ye Feng's brute strength at this moment is equivalent to that of Primordial Remnant in its growth stage.

"Brother Ye Feng is still stronger than me." Shi Hao was unconvinced by his peers, except for Ye Feng. He knew Ye Feng was a monster and couldn't be compared to Ye Feng: "Clan Chief Chieftain, may I drink beast milk now?"

Shi Hao didn't care whether Ye Feng was stronger than him; he only cared whether Ye Feng could drink beast milk.

"Of course, you can drink as much as you want," the old Clan Chief said.

"What about beast blood?" Ye Feng asked.

"Drink as much as you want," the old Clan Chief said with a smile.

Half an hour later, Shi Hao sat on the roots of Willow Tree, holding a container of animal milk. He opened the bottle and poured all the milk onto the ground.

The animal milk dripped down the Willow Tree bark and fell to the ground, where it was quickly absorbed.

"Willow God, this is my favorite animal milk. It's so delicious. Please try some. My Clan Chief chief said you are the guardian spirit of Stone Village, and my parents are also from Stone Village. Do you know where they are? I just want to tell them that I can protect Stone Village now. Even if I see them, I don't even know what they look like. Willow God, I miss them."

After pouring out the animal milk, Shi Hao squatted on the ground, silently shedding tears.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

"Who's there?" Shi Hao leaped onto the tree root, which was about 1.5 meters tall. Looking at the other side of the tree, he called out, "Brother Ye Feng?"

"Cough... Beast milk is just something you like to drink. Just because you like something doesn't mean she likes it too." Ye Feng pointed at Willow God.

"Then... what does Willow God like to drink..." Shi Hao noticed that part of the ground beneath Ye Feng's feet had turned red. "Red... blood... beast blood... you're giving Willow God beast blood to drink!"

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.

"Does the Willow God like to drink beast blood?" Shi Hao asked.

"Blood is the essence of life. The higher the level of the being's blood essence, the more beneficial it is to the recovery of the Willow God," Ye Feng said.

"It drinks blood?" Shi Hao was stunned.

"What's so strange about drinking blood?"

"Drinking blood... isn't that a monster?"

"Hehe, Shi Hao, your thinking is too narrow. What is a demon, what is a god? In the end, it all comes down to the heart."

"Brother Ye Feng, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

"It's really putting you in a difficult position to say this to you. Shi Hao, please forgive my bluntness, but even the urine of ancient remnants is better than your beast milk."

"Urine?"

Shi Hao was stunned for a moment. He didn't refute Ye Feng's words. The Willow God was a "plant," and for plants, urine was indeed a tonic. However, this was the Willow God, the sacred spirit of Stone Village. How could the people of Stone Village dare to be so disrespectful to the Willow God? After a pause, Shi Hao exclaimed, "Brother Ye Feng, you didn't give the Willow God some water...?"

Urine!

Shi Hao couldn't bring himself to say the word "urine." He felt it was a kind of blasphemy against the Willow God.

P. S.: I recommend a book. Fans of Battle Through the Heavens can read it without worry. It features multiple female leads, a brute-force protagonist, and a straightforward, aggressive style. Title: I, the Brutal Man of the Yunlan Sect, Shocked Yun Yun at the Start
