Hahahaha, Master Hao, I made it!!!

In Stone Village, the joyful times continued.

After eating and drinking her fill, Qian Renxue felt as though her body was brimming with inexhaustible energy.

"Big Sister, is it good?"

Once Shi Yunfeng had left, Little One Shi Hao hugged his signature clay pot, milk stains clinging to the corners of his mouth as he sidled over.

"It's delicious, thank you, little brother." Hearing this, Qian Renxue gently wiped the corners of Shi Hao's mouth.

"Hehe, does Big Sister want to try my beast milk? It's the most fragrant kind!"

Sensing no hostility from her, the simple-minded little Shi Hao generously held out the clay pot, his large eyes filled with innocence.

"But you can only have a small sip, okay? Little One needs the rest when he gets hungry tonight."

Looking at the thick liquid that emitted a strange, milky fragrance, Qian Renxue felt a warmth in her heart.

This was the most precious thing to this little fellow.

"Sister won't drink it. You are at the age where you need to grow, so you should drink more."

"Sister, your legs are so white."

Just then, Pi Hou, who had become quite tipsy from sneaking Monkey Wine, wobbled to his feet and set his sights on Qian Renxue's long, slender legs.

"They're even whiter than Sister Cuihua, the prettiest girl in our village. I wonder if they feel as soft as a steamed bun?"

"Smack!"

Before he could even touch her, little Shi Hao slapped his hand away, shielding Qian Renxue like a protective cub.

"Pi Hou, you're acting up again!"

"Grandpa Village Chief said it's wrong to touch a girl's legs without permission. You can't be disrespectful to guests!"

"Besides..."

After saying this, little Shi Hao glanced back at Qian Renxue's smooth, white legs, then turned back and said with a serious expression:

"What's so good about touching a woman's legs?"

"How could it be better than beast milk?"

As he spoke, he raised the clay pot and took another large gulp, a look of pure intoxication appearing on his face.

Qian Renxue was amused by this scene. Looking at the adorable little toddler, she felt a playful urge and deliberately dangled her long, slender legs in front of him.

"Little brother, do you really not want to touch them? How about I let you touch them once?"

However, little Shi Hao looked at those blindingly white legs, then back at the beast milk in his hands, and finally shook his head firmly, his face full of disdain: "No."

Pfft!

Hearing this, countless lechers across the Douluo Continent watching the Sky Screen spat out mouthfuls of blood.

"What a waste of heaven's gifts, that brat!"

"Let go of that Little One! Let me do it!"

However, the focus of most people lay elsewhere.

"Look! The Young Lady has eaten so much meat from the Primordial Remnant Species and drank the beast milk, yet why is there no fluctuation in her Soul Power?"

Inside Spirit Hall, Ghost Douluo pointed at the data on the Sky Screen, his face filled with astonishment.

By all logic, the energy contained in that food should have been enough to burst a Titled Douluo.

Yet, not only did Qian Renxue look perfectly fine, but the Soul Power level on her data panel remained stuck at level 60, completely motionless.

Other than a faint red glow now emanating from beneath her fair skin, there were no other changes.

This was something the members of Spirit Hall found impossible to accept.

"What is going on? Could those things be fake?"

"That's impossible! I could feel the aura of that Two-Headed Fire Rhino through the screen!"

For a time, the entire Spirit Hall was in an uproar, eventually attributing it to the mysterious blessing of the Willow Deity.

"I remember now. When our Young Lady first landed outside that village, she was blessed by a willow leaf. Could it be..."

"Yes, I saw it too. It must be that Willow Demon playing tricks!"

"Exactly! A blessing? What kind of blessing is that? I think it's a curse! It's locked the Young Lady's Soul Power and won't let her level up!"

Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Sect watched on with gloating mockery.

"Hahaha, it's hilarious!"

"So much for a genius of Spirit Hall! She ate all those heavenly treasures and didn't even gain a single level—she's nothing but trash!"

"Exactly, my Brother Hao is much more impressive. Even though he only ate swill, he still improved so much."

"Becoming a god is just around the corner!"

Only Gu Yuena perceived the anomaly. She was shocked to discover that although Qian Renxue's Soul Power remained unchanged, the blood energy rising from her entire body was becoming increasingly terrifying!

It was the precursor to a complete rebirth!

She was retracing the path of cultivation from that world!

Behind the Sky Screen, in the Great Wilderness.

As this simple and unadorned dinner concluded, the Stone Village fell into the silence of the night.

Qian Renxue lay in the Stone House. Although her body had been greatly nourished, in this world where the strong reigned supreme, the lack of strength always made her feel somewhat uneasy.

After much hesitation, she stepped out of the house and found the old village chief, who was in the courtyard.

"Old senior, I would like to..."

"I would like to ask you for guidance on the methods of cultivation." Qian Renxue blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After all, she had eaten their food and drunk their water; to now ask to learn their skills was indeed quite greedy.

However, after taking a look at her, the old village chief did not refuse. He simply chuckled and said:

"Cultivation? That is a good thing."

"But our village doesn't have any profound techniques, just some basic routines for strengthening the body."

"If you want to learn, join Little One and the others tomorrow morning, and listen to me explain the power of Bone Text and how to circulate blood energy."

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief!"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue was so excited she nearly jumped for joy.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the village.

A burly aunt was carrying a large bucket of swill that emitted a sour, foul odor, along with a pile of leftover bone fragments, as she walked toward the edge of the village while grumbling.

"These wasteful children, leaving so many bones behind instead of feeding the dogs, just insisting on throwing them away."

Walking to a pitch-black pit outside the village, the aunt casually dumped the contents of the bucket and walked away without looking back.

"Splash..."

After the aunt left, a figure covered in filth and reeking of stench crawled out of the darkness like a maggot, struggling toward the pile.

It was Tang Hao!

He looked at the pile of leftovers mixed with dirt and saliva, along with the bones that had been gnawed clean, and could not help but swallow his saliva.

"Gulp..."

In order to become stronger and to survive, this once-mighty Clear Sky Douluo could no longer afford to be disgusted. He grabbed a bone that had been chewed by someone unknown, shoved it into his mouth, and began to suck on it with relish.

"Slurp... slurp..."

I do not know how much time passed, but when Tang Hao licked the last drop of swill clean.

"Hum!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the foul-smelling pit!

Immediately following, a manic burst of laughter instantly echoed through the heavens from within the pit!

"Hahahaha, I, Lord Hao, have succeeded!!!"
