Reborn As A Blade Of Grass, I Become The Companion Of A Goddess

Chapter 34: Persistent Sounds, An Indication of A Magic Treasure’s Appearance

Shi Hao was sitting in the black cauldron, cross-legged.

Ye Yun knew what the villagers and Shi Hao had been up to so when the rite of passage was about to begin, Ye Yun looked on with interest and extended his roots to gently touch the bottom of the black cauldron. He noticed that the cauldron was surrounded by unfathomable energy. Even though its entire body was pitch black, there were many ancient symbols carved on the surface of the cauldron.

Sounds started to come from within the black cauldron – they were the remnants of Suan Ni’s magic treasure as well as some of the other ancient descendants’ precious bones that had been thrown into the black cauldron.

Ye Yun began to think deeply.

Before his transmigration, he had read quite a number of novels and many had mentioned similar kinds of black cauldrons which had made him quite curious about them. Now that there was one right before him, he had to make full use of this opportunity to observe it.

He immediately used his Divine Sense to fully explore it.

Shi Hao instantly caught the same sense of déjà vu as he started to feel the familiar feeling of being able to cultivate smoothly as if he was sitting under the willow tree.

Ye Yun studied the black cauldron for a long time, but he did not quite understand what made it such a big deal. He was just about to retract his roots back into the soil when he suddenly felt the energy in the cauldron continuously flow out and into his roots.

Ye Yun had received energy from the cauldron and his cultivation suddenly increased by leaps and bounds.

The system’s sudden notification came.

[Beep beep, the host has been detected to be absorbing Black Cauldron Elixir Fire. Do you wish to check in?]

Now, that’s more like it!

“Check me in!”

[The check-in has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Black Cauldron Elixir Fire. This fire can burn anything and everything in the world. As such, it is very lethal. I hope that the host will use it carefully.]

“Well, well, well. The system is not being stingy today since I’ve received quite an impressive reward.” Ye Yun decided to check out the attributes of the new item.

[Black Cauldron Elixir Fire: Incinerates all living things, even the strongest creatures in this world. Once the Elixir Fire is released, it will turn into anything it touches into ashes. Note: The Black Cauldron Elixir Fire can be used to refine holy medicine. Level: God Rank]

Shi Hao, on the other hand, was now gritting his teeth very hard. If he could just pass the rite of passage, he would be able to reconstruct his bone marrow.

Ye Yun admired Shi Hao’s willpower. He was just a child, yet he could endure the pain without making a sound.

He was deserving of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor title.

Ye Yun continued browsing through the rewards and when he came upon Guardian Spirit Essence, he looked at the Willow Deity next to him. When he checked the item’s attributes, an idea appeared in his head.

He instantly used Guardian Spirit Essence on the willow tree, causing the latter to suddenly shoot out a dazzling array of lights. But soon after, it returned to normal. The Willow Deity had absorbed Guardian Spirit Essence.

“Willow Deity?” Ye Yun called out.

Unfortunately, there was still no reply.

Guess the amount of Guardian Spirit Essence he had given wasn’t enough to restore the Willow Deity’s vitality. However, Ye Yun did not give up. He was determined to restore the willow tree until it could one day speak to the villagers.

Ye Yun decided to return to his cultivation.

Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion in the forest more than a hundred kilometers away from Stone Village. It sounded as if a majestic mountain range had been shattered and was crumbling. Everyone within hearing range of the explosion was shocked and curious as to what had happened.

Even though there were often fights in the forest, there had never been such an earth-shattering sound in the past few decades.

Ye Yun was startled from his cultivation state and immediately activated his Clairvoyance to check out the situation. He was also curious.

His Clairvoyance might not be highly ranked, but it was already considered quite good since Ye Yun’s Divine Sense was simply not strong enough to do what he needed.

Ye Yun looked in the direction the explosion came from and instead of a mountain range that had been destroyed, he saw a fierce battle break out. When he turned to look, he was met by a pair of beast eyes.

They were strange and huge, and the blood-red vertical holes were emitting golden light.

Even though Ye Yun knew that the beast was not staring at him, he was still frightened because he felt as if he was right there.

However, he knew nothing about the beast, and he wasn’t sure if he could stand up against it if he fought with it. Could his Shu Shan Sword Method kill it in one strike?

Ye Yun shook his head, changed his viewing angle to observe from a larger distance, and found that it was a battle between two demonic beasts he could not identify.

The two demonic beasts seemed to be of a high level. They did not use brute force to fight but their ancestral artifacts instead, allowing them to move so fast that the two turned into blurry figures as they went at each other.

Sparks flew with each clash as their runic energy collided when their bodies hit one another. One attacked while the other defended, and the impact caused the nearby peaks to be destroyed. Rocks fell into the streams below and countless desolate beasts died as casualties.

Ye Yun had probably only heard of such a battle in the legends he read of before his transmigration.

As he looked on, a distant memory appeared in his mind and he sucked in a quick breath of air. He had seen this scene before. The desolate mountain’s treasure was about to appear, and soon, this place would face a life-threatening crisis.

But why was this battle happening already? Wasn’t time moving a little too fast? If he did not hurry to cultivate, he would not have the chance later on. He let the beasts fight on as he returned to cultivation. Besides, the treasure hadn’t appeared yet. He still had time.

A few days eventually passed and Shi Hao’s rite of passage had finally been completed. He shook his arm slightly, and if he wasn’t careful, a single hit from him could measure four kilograms of power.

It was truly inconceivable for a child to be able to do so.

Even though he had completed his rite of passage and reconstructed his bone marrow, Shi Hao persistently cultivated under the ancient willow tree every day. And with Ye Yun’s Influence nearby, Shi Hao continued to experience breakthroughs.

Ye Yun had also been absorbing the feedback energy from Shi Hao’s cultivation as the two of them formed a positive feedback loop. Ye Yun also felt that he would soon be able to break through and upgrade his soul refinement ability.

Now that his body had essentially become indestructible, Ye Yun could confidently say that even if an ancient descendant like Suan Ni tried to bite him, his body wouldn’t be damaged at all.

In fact, Suan Ni’s teeth might be the ones to get damaged.

The villagers of Stone Village noticed that the sounds in the mountain forest were becoming more and more intense. The village chief had previously wanted to go into Closed Door Cultivation, but the sound was just too loud for him to do so in peace. In the end, he had to forego cultivation and stand guard by the village.

He stared at Shi Hao who was cultivating under the willow tree and was reminded of the child’s parents. Huang Yunfeng started to get emotional.

This child had been on the verge of dying years ago but was now not only living so well but had also become a rare cultivation prodigy of Stone Village.

It might have been because Shi Hao drank beast milk every day. But his ability was something no one else in the village could match.

In any case, Shi Hao was the apple of Stone Village’s eye..
