Beì Village's Medicine Cauldron
Ren's face was wreathed in a smile, with a trace of joy in his heart.
Trash from Perfect World—and from Bèi Village, at that. Although Bèi Village had only been minor fodder in the early stages, it was an enormous gain for Ren.
Ren searched carefully and said, "There aren't any ancient formulas. It looks like obtaining Perfect World's medicinal bath recipe is simply impossible! Even if I got an ancient formula, the Naruto World probably couldn't gather all the ingredients, let alone whether my body could withstand it!"
Muttering to himself, Ren knew that even if there were a prepared medicinal bath before him, he would not dare enter it. Just think of Shi Hao in the original story. With such an incredibly powerful physique, he had still become groggy and suffered reactions after entering a medicinal bath.
However, Ren also knew that although this medicine cauldron from Bèi Village contained no ancient formula, the medicinal properties within it were enough for him. Medicine cauldrons in Perfect World were used year after year to boil medicine, refine medicine, and concoct pills... As a result, some of the medicine's essence had seeped into the cauldrons, giving them medicinal properties of their own.
This medicine cauldron from Bèi Village might not have been used for very long, but the medicinal properties it contained were still sufficient to strengthen Ren's physique. If he put spring water inside and boiled it, the water would acquire medicinal properties and might even surpass any medicinal bath from the Naruto World's clans. If he added a Naruto World medicinal bath formula to it, the effect would likely be even stronger.
It could be said that after obtaining this medicine cauldron from this batch of trash, Ren would no longer need to worry about strengthening his physique in the future.
Besides the cauldron, this batch of trash also included a tiger carcass. The tiger's entire body was fiery red, and it looked quite imposing. From the records on the animal hide, Ren learned that this was a Fire Tiger caught by the last survivor of Bèi Village for food. Unfortunately, when he discovered Shi Hao had returned, he hurriedly fled the village and abandoned the Fire Tiger, allowing Ren to benefit from it instead.
In Perfect World, a Fire Tiger was merely an ordinary beast. It did not even have True Blood flowing through its body, much less compare with those fierce beasts.
Ren stared at the Fire Tiger's corpse. "It may only be an ordinary beast, but it came from Perfect World. Its meat should be comparable to Magical Beast meat, perhaps even better."
Not long afterward, Ren let out a breath of stale air and looked at the medicine cauldron before him. "It's so heavy. It looks like I'll have to leave it on Beast King Mountain. Keeping it at home would be too unsafe."
Ren had originally wanted to take away the medicine cauldron and had even brought out a huge Sealing Scroll. Unfortunately, to seal the cauldron, he first had to place it on top of the Sealing Scroll.
Sadly, Ren could not lift it at all. Even using all his strength, he could not move the cauldron in the slightest.
This reminded Ren of Shi Hao from Perfect World. He had been only a few years old and could toss around a medicine cauldron like it was a toy. The difference in physique was just too great!
Ren shook his head, turned, and vanished from the Trash Station.
In the silent bedroom, Ren reappeared, covered in sweat and mud.
After all, most of this batch of trash had been dirt.
Without washing himself, Ren bit his finger and formed hand seals. "Reversal Summoning Technique!"
Bang...
With a sound, white smoke appeared, and Ren vanished from the bedroom.
Using the Reverse Summoning Technique, Ren arrived at Beast King Mountain.
The moment he appeared on Beast King Mountain, a Ghost-Faced Mastiff King came racing over from afar.
"Woof... Master is back!"
The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King's voice was somewhat childish. After all, he had only gained intelligence a few days ago. Although he could speak, he was like a small child.
Ren leaped up, stroked the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King's fur, and said, "Head to the dumping ground. We're dumping trash again this time!"
At those words, the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King became excited and sprinted into the distance.
The last time they had dumped trash, the Dog Clan had evolved directly and even broken through their seal. Beast King Mountain itself had also become much stronger as a result.
Would dumping trash this time make them stronger again?
The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King's thoughts were simple, so he quickly ran toward the place where they had dumped trash last time.
In the blink of an eye, Ren had arrived at the previous dumping site.
At this time, the sled dog, Husky, Bully Dog, and several other large dogs had all gathered there.
The intelligent sled dog looked at Ren and asked, "Master... what kind of trash is it this time? Will it have the same effect as last time?"
Ren shook his head. "Last time was an accident. Naturally, there won't be that kind of effect this time!"
What a joke. If another virus showed up, would he even be able to keep playing? The appearance of the RR Virus alone had already given Ren a headache. Viruses were simply too dangerous, especially viruses from certain worlds. For example, the T Virus from Resident Evil, the injury virus from the zombie world, the zombie virus from the jiangshi world...
If all those viruses appeared in the Trash Station, would Ren still be able to continue? If even one leaked out, it would threaten the entire world! Still, speaking of it, the monsters in Swallowed Star underwent their first evolution because of the RR Virus, while their second evolution was caused by nuclear radiation. If trash from a technological world appeared someday and brought nuclear radiation with it, it might allow the Dog Clan to evolve again. But what would Ren do? Nuclear radiation was invisible and untouchable.
Putting that aside, Ren now looked at a patch of wasteland.
This place had originally all been wasteland, but the area where they had dumped trash last time had turned into lush grassland. Everywhere else remained barren.
With a thought, Ren connected to his Trash Station.
A twisting Uzumaki appeared above the wasteland, followed by a large amount of dirt.
The dirt slowly fell, crashing onto the barren ground.
The instant the dirt appeared, the sled dog's eyes widened in shock. Then he said, "Master... this dirt contains such powerful energy. This energy feels like Natural Chakra!"
At those words, Ren asked in surprise, "Natural Chakra?"
The sled dog nodded. "For the past few days, I've been cultivating the Dog Clan's Sage Art, filling my body with Natural Chakra. Therefore, I can sense Natural Energy somewhat. When this dirt appeared, I discovered that it contains dense Natural Energy. Although the amount is small, its quality seems far beyond Natural Chakra!"
At those words, realization appeared on Ren's face. What kind of place was Perfect World? It was an overwhelmingly powerful world, naturally filled with terrifying Spiritual Qi. This Spiritual Qi seeped into the earth and gave rise to countless heavenly treasures.
A Bone
Cultivation worlds contained Heavenly Spiritual Qi, and naturally that Spiritual Qi seeped into the soil as well. Were the legendary medicinal fields not simply fields brimming with Spiritual Qi?
Perfect World was also a powerful world, filled with energy. Some of that energy seeped into the land, nurturing heavenly treasures. The dirt before them came from Bèi Village and had already lost most of its Spiritual Qi, but it was still from Perfect World. Therefore, it contained some of Perfect World's Spiritual Qi. This Spiritual Qi might be nothing in Perfect World, but it was extremely valuable in the Naruto World. Moreover, its grade should surpass the Naruto World's Natural Chakra.
Ren narrowed his eyes. "It seems that when trash arrives in the future, I shouldn't just pay attention to treasures. I should also keep an eye on dirt and stones. If it were soil from the Peach Garden in Journey to the West, it would probably rival some immortal pills!"
Ren spoke casually, then watched as the medicine cauldron fell. Soon afterward, the Fire Tiger's corpse also landed there.
The moment the Fire Tiger's corpse appeared, the large dogs before him all showed longing. A Fire Tiger was merely an ordinary beast in Perfect World, but it was still far stronger than the Dog Clan. Yet at that moment, a white bone fell, and every dog became excited. Even the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King beneath Ren's feet was the same.
Ren had not thought much of this bone. It merely had a few words recorded on it. Although he had used it to determine that this trash came from Perfect World, he had not felt that the bone was particularly useful.
But looking at the yearning dogs before him, the corner of his mouth twitched. "Dogs' habit of eating bones really hasn't changed. Still, this bone from Perfect World should belong to some powerful beast!"
Ren muttered to himself. He knew that Perfect World had many powerful beasts, and many of them even possessed fierce beast bloodlines. Such bloodlines were undoubtedly an enormous temptation to ordinary wild beasts!
The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King looked longingly at him. "Master... this bone is filled with a special aura. I feel that if I eat it, I can become stronger!"
The sled dog also looked eager. "That's right... This bone contains a special energy. If we devour it, we might evolve."
As the Dog Clan's only current cultivator of Sage Mode, the sled dog was the most knowledgeable among them.
Ren looked at the white bone in the distance. "Keep this bone. You can decide among yourselves who will eat it. But don't place too much importance on a single bone. There will be more in the future."
