True cultivation is not merely the tempering of the physical body; one must also comprehend the primitive runes and touch the origin of heaven and earth. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the physical shell becomes, it is difficult to reach the pinnacle.

For a true cultivator, there is no fundamental distinction between the physical body and Bone Text. When tempering the body, mysterious patterns are generated, transforming into fragments of the Great Dao that merge into the flesh and blood, becoming inseparable.

When cultivating Bone Text, it transforms into Divine Radiance, nourishing the flesh and blood, smelting them into a single furnace.

The Blood-Moving Realm is the first stage of truly stepping onto the path of cultivation. Generally speaking, in this Great Wilderness, it is rare for even one person to appear in a tribe of ten thousand, because the conditions are too harsh and this path is extremely difficult to walk.

This realm requires the mobilization of one's entire essence blood, rolling like thunder, to smelt the Bone Text and catalyze Divine Radiance within the blood, thereby tempering the fortune of heaven and earth to nourish the physical body.

Simply put, the Blood-Moving Realm is the condensation of blood and runes, generating Divine Radiance to nourish the spirit and body, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself, thereby achieving the purpose of cultivation.

This does not conflict with the path of immortal cultivation that Bai Yixin is walking, so Bai Yixin naturally chose to dual-cultivate.

However, dual-cultivation will certainly slow down the progress of Qi Refining, but it would only be a slight delay at the beginning; once on the right track, they will instead promote each other.

Qi Refining, which is refining essence into Qi, opens up the Twelve-Story Tower within the body, equivalent to twelve small realms. As for Blood-Moving, the early stage requires one's own essence blood to nurture the Bone Text, and the celestial spiritual energy introduced during Qi Refining can just happen to compensate for the loss, so progress in immortal cultivation will likely be slow during this period.

But with the help of the immortal spiritual energy within Bai Yixin's body, he can step into the Blood-Moving Realm very smoothly and quickly, catching up to the progress of the Little One.

In just a few days, Bai Yixin achieved extraordinary results.

When Bai Yixin performed the Silver Moon Precious Technique he had asked for from the Little One, every inch of his flesh and blood glowed. Mysterious runes appeared within them, like individual precious furnaces providing a continuous supply of essence and spirit, making him feel mentally refreshed and physically comfortable.

This result left Shi Yunfeng dumbfounded. It was not that he didn't know the little guy had amazing talent, but he was shocked once again.

He is truly worthy of being an Immortal Reincarnation!

Regarding the fact that Bai Yixin was an Immortal Reincarnation, Shi Yunfeng became even more convinced in his heart.

It had only been a few days, and Bai Yixin had already achieved groundbreaking results, directly catching up to the Little One. For an ordinary person, it would take at least a few years, and for a genius, it would take several months.

This Bai Yixin is a damn monster!

Bai Yixin's performance was so stunning that it made the group of clan elders laugh heartily like children, while Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao, and other young adults also grinned, revealing their snow-white teeth, laughing non-stop.

"He is comparable to the cubs of Primordial Ferocious Beasts. In the future, our Stone Village might have two Supremes capable of fighting against Primordial True Hou and pure-blooded Pixiu."

"This is a child sent to our Stone Village by the heavens; naturally, he is far beyond the mundane."

The group was overjoyed. The banquet in Stone Village that day was very sumptuous. Various beast meats were either steamed or roasted until golden and oily. The fragrance filled the village, making one's mouth water. (Bai Yixin expressed: Sorry, I'm cheating, how could I not be fast? (referring to using experience points to accelerate))

In the following time, Bai Yixin progressed rapidly. Every inch of flesh and blood in his body was crystal clear and glowing, as if one ancient god after another was sitting cross-legged inside. The runes were transforming and reorganizing, completely changing his physical state.

As the days passed, Bai Yixin and Little Shi Hao completed their initial cultivation in just half a month. They integrated the Bone Text into their flesh and blood, becoming bright and flawless throughout. When using precious techniques, they would not consume their own essence, but instead began to temper the fortune of heaven and earth, drawing divine essence into their bodies, making them light, healthy, and full of spirit.

At this point, while Bai Yixin was brushing up his proficiency in precious techniques, he could also incidentally operate his immortal cultivation technique to refine the heaven and earth essence drawn into his body into his own spiritual power, promoting the growth of his cultivation and further increasing his cultivation speed.

Shi Yunfeng immediately decided to use the Suanni Precious Body, the precious horns of the Blazing Fire Bull Demon, and the arms of the Demon Ape to baptize the two, sealing them along with the true blood and precious bones of Primordial Remnants in a cauldron for boiling.

"A baptism? Another great opportunity for a huge boost." A sharp light shone in Bai Yixin's eyes, and he was very much looking forward to the upcoming baptism.

An open space in Stone Village.

The Suanni, with its golden body and brilliant radiance, its fur shining like golden silk, was carried over. Under the illumination of the morning glow, it looked very magnificent and shimmering.

A red bull horn several meters long was also laid to the side. The horn was as transparent as red agate, flashing with red clouds. As a Primordial Remnant, it contained the most precious psychic true blood of the Blazing Fire Bull.

The arm of the Demon Ape was similar in length to an adult's arm. It was not very huge, but it emitted a monstrous ferocity and contained Primordial True Blood, which was extremely rare and precious.

A large black cauldron emitted an ancient aura. On it were sun, moon, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish, and insects, as well as scenes of ancient ancestors offering sacrifices, looking mysterious and unfathomable. At this time, a lot of water had already been added to the cauldron, and Black Flood Dragon Wood was burning underneath. The water was boiling rapidly; this was using the fiercest fire to boil the most domineering precious medicine.

Shi Yunfeng looked solemn and stood personally in front of the cauldron, throwing in one ancient herb after another. These were treasures that had aged for years; guarding the Great Wilderness, there was no shortage of medicinal herbs.

Before long, various medicinal fragrances wafted from the boiling water, refreshing the heart, and the water changed color.

This was not the end. Shi Yunfeng threw various poisonous insects into the boiling water one after another. This cauldron of water suddenly became colorful, and all kinds of strange odors drifted out.

Bai Yixin swallowed his saliva. This was truly terrifying. So many poisonous insects were densely packed, along with so many ancient medicines mixed together; no matter how one looked at it, it gave an ominous premonition.

As the water gradually boiled, the water in the cauldron became less and less, and finally, it was almost dry. The herbs and various exotic insects were boiled into a paste. This was an auxiliary medicine, which could reduce the pain for Bai Yixin and the Little One, and also help them refine the true blood.

"Dismember the Suanni, prepare to pour the precious blood into the cauldron!" Shi Yunfeng shouted loudly.

Shi Yunfeng put the Suanni's heart into the black cauldron, added the precious blood as liquid, and filled the medicine cauldron. The precious blood mixed with the medicinal paste.

The fire of the Black Flood Dragon Wood under the cauldron was fierce, burning so that the various prehistoric beasts carved on the walls of the black cauldron seemed to come alive, as if bursts of roaring sounds were emitted.

In the cauldron, the pale golden liquid boiled. That precious heart was dazzlingly hot, and golden light rain erupted, making the whole cauldron brilliant. The liquid inside turned into golden light, and a particularly rich fragrance wafted out.

The fierce fire boiled the great medicine. The fire was strong and the fragrance was rich. The inside of the cauldron became a pale golden paste, and from time to time, bursts of roars from Primordial Remnants could be heard, which were soul-stirring.

Vaguely, it seemed as if one could see a golden Suanni emerging, terrifying and monstrous, swallowing the sun and moon, making the stars tremble!

"Boil it, refine it into a great medicine. Little Bai, Little One, get ready, it's almost time to enter the cauldron." The clan leader Shi Yunfeng said seriously.

"Understood!" Shi Hao replied loudly.

"I'm ready!" Bai Yixin steadied himself and said with a serious expression.

The two, who had bathed, jumped directly into the boiling medicine cauldron. The brilliant golden liquid immediately submerged them.

"Seal the cauldron!" Shi Yunfeng shouted. The villagers brought the huge, pitch-black cauldron lid, and several people worked together to cover it tightly, leaving no gaps.
