Suanni Precious Technique

At that moment, people crowded around an open space in Stone Village, packed in so tightly that not even a drop of water could get through. Men and women, young and old, had gathered to watch Bai Yixin and Little Shi Hao lift the tripods.

At the center of the open space stood a Bronze Tripod weighing over a thousand jin. Images of birds and beasts adorned it, giving it an air of antiquity. Its walls were thick, lending it a weighty, imposing feel. The legs, often gripped by people lifting it, had been polished smooth as mirrors, and a Vermilion Bird was embossed on its side.

"Up!"

Bai Yixin seized one of the tripod's handles and one of its legs, then lifted it effortlessly over his head.

He continued testing his strength, eager to find out how powerful he was now. Starting with the thousand-jin Bronze Tripod, he kept working his way up until he even hoisted the Black Gold Tripod, which weighed five thousand jin. Everyone in Stone Village was left dumbfounded.

But he still couldn't compare to Little One.

Little Shi Hao lifted the heaviest tripod in the clan over his head: an eight-thousand-jin Hou-Patterned Tripod, engraved with a terrifying beast.

Bai Yixin smacked his lips, his big eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Little One isn't even four yet, is he? His body's absurdly strong. As expected, I can't catch up to a foundation like his after only one or two months of cultivation..."

"But when it comes to combat prowess, I definitely won't lose!"

"Heavens truly favor our clan, sending us two children like these!" one of the clan elders muttered, his voice trembling. His lips quivered with excitement.

"Do you feel any discomfort, children?" Shi Yunfeng asked, worried that some hidden problem might have arisen during their transformation.

Little One answered earnestly in his childish voice, "No. I feel great, full of energy, with strength to spare."

"I've been reborn, completely renewed. I've never felt this good." Bai Yixin's smooth, jet-black hair fell over his shoulders. Radiant and brimming with vitality, he spoke with a lively air.

The old clan chief burst into laughter, finally setting his mind at ease. He pulled them close, looking them over from every angle, as if he'd suddenly grown ten years younger; even the wrinkles on his face had smoothed out. The clanspeople were all delighted. With two children like these, once they grew up, they would surely shake the four directions and protect this region, bringing Stone Village to its greatest heights.

"Little One, Little Bai, although your baptisms succeeded and your strength has surged, you mustn't become arrogant. Remember, this world is full of powerful beings, and they are all terrifying." The old clan chief warned them sternly.

"Grandpa Chief, I know!" Little One nodded earnestly.

"Like that huge, furry golden claw that appeared the other day and crushed a whole mountain ridge in its grasp." Thinking of the fierce battle in the mountains not long ago, Bai Yixin's smile faded.

"Some Primordial Remnants are so powerful it's beyond imagining. They can blot out the sky with one hand and easily wipe out a super-clan, like deities," Shi Yunfeng said.

"I wonder what kind of Mountain Treasure appeared," Little One said, his eyes shining.

"That must be one of the most precious treasures in the Lower Realm! The supreme Ancient Heavenly Art of the Supreme Hall—the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art; the Grass Sword Art of the Ten Fiends, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass; and the bone box itself, which can fuse with one of Stone Village's little white tripods to reveal the Original True Interpretation's Transcendence Chapter." Bai Yixin mused to himself.

"Once Willow Deity moves Stone Village to a new place, I'll have to go out and wander around more. Maybe I'll find some treasures lying around."

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art was a grand method specifically for controlling Treasure Techniques.

One tripod after another bubbled away as the precious blood of the Primordial Remnants was put to full use. Everyone in the village benefited greatly.

Only after two days did Stone Village finally settle down. The remaining precious meat and true blood were sealed away, to be slowly refined later without wasting a single drop.

A few days later, Bai Yixin and Shi Hao were discussing and studying the Bone Book and Treasure Techniques when Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng brought over a palm-sized, gleaming white bone. It was the Suanni's Brow Bone, marked with its original runes. The village's grown men had spent several days and nights laboriously grinding it down before they finally managed to remove it.

Fortunately, after the runes appeared, they had formed on the Brow Bone separately from the rest of the skull, detaching from it to become an independent piece of bone. Otherwise, with Stone Village's current strength, they wouldn't have been able to budge it at all.

Shi Yunfeng spoke with utmost solemnity. "Little One, Little Bai, don't do anything else for the next few days. Memorize these runes and keep them firmly in your minds. After a while, the bone's vitality will fade, and the runes' mysterious imprints will no longer be visible. They'll sink into the bone, which can then only be made into a treasure artifact—you won't be able to obtain the Treasure Technique."

Bai Yixin nodded seriously. After Little One had memorized the runes, he too held the gleaming white bone and studied it closely, forcing himself to remember each variation and imprint it in his mind.

Although it was only one rune, it represented a peerless Treasure Technique of an entire race. The imprint shifted constantly, like stars wheeling across the night sky—complex and mysterious.

He couldn't understand it yet, but that was only temporary. In a few days at most, Bai Yixin would surely grind out a spark or two!

"Now I can start preparing what I'll need for Foundation Establishment. By the time I've reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, I should be about ready." Bai Yixin looked at his progress, already past halfway through the tenth level, and decided it was time to prepare a Foundation Establishment Pill.

In fact, Foundation Establishment could be attempted at the tenth level of Qi Refining, but the resulting Dao Foundation would only be of average quality. The eleventh level formed a perfect Dao Foundation, while the twelfth formed a flawless one—also known as Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

Most cultivators considered the tenth level of Qi Refining complete. Reaching the eleventh required a fortuitous opportunity and precious natural treasures.

The twelfth level required a trace of Heavenly Dao Qi, which one could either seek in a blessed land or obtain through enlightenment.

In theory, those with extraordinary talent might, upon sudden enlightenment and unity between heaven and man, earn Heaven's favor and acquire a trace of transcendent Qi.

But that didn't have much to do with Bai Yixin. With the Game Panel, he figured that aside from bottlenecks in his realm, he wouldn't have to worry about minor bottlenecks. Besides, the shop sold whatever he needed. His only concern was whether he had enough money saved up to buy it.

Bai Yixin checked the shop. It wasn't too expensive—only ten thousand.
