Chapter 131 The First True Magical Treasure at the End of the Volume (33)

The next day, in Shan'ao Village.

Despite yesterday's chaos.

However, the villagers of Shan'ao Village were not affected much.

On the contrary, thanks to the Sleepybugs' abilities, the villagers, who had been controlled by the Six-Tailed Fox for so long, were able to get a good night's sleep, a rare treat.

Afterwards, with explanations from Chi Yu and the pregnant woman, the villagers had no choice but to accept the fact that their long-worshipped local deity had been killed by another "god".

As for the truth of the matter?
Looking at the indifferent-looking red carp, the villagers neither asked nor dared to ask.

In any case, all the villagers in the mountain valley could do was obediently accept this reality, accept that they had been saved again by the "son of the mountain god".

Even starting this morning, strong tremors have been felt intermittently in the valley not far from Shan'ao Village.

Under the reassurance of the villagers, who were surrounded by a group of people, they had no choice but to obediently try to salvage the rice paddies that had not yet been completely ruined, hoping to have a sufficient harvest before winter arrived.

In fact, all the villagers could see that this hope was already very slim.

Already suffering from disaster due to the mountain monster, they have now missed their last chance to plant rice...

In addition, the local earth god who had always protected the mountain village had died, and almost no one could think of how to get through this winter.

"Maybe we really won't make it through this year..."

Feeling the occasional tremors beneath his feet, Uncle Lu sat dejectedly on the edge of the field.

Beside Uncle Lu, the pregnant woman who had been rescued by Li Boyang yesterday was gently stroking her belly, softly comforting her.

"Father, it's not time to lose heart yet."

“The son of the mountain god is powerful and kind-hearted; we can still ask him for help.”

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then hesitated, his expression extremely complicated.

"Given the current situation, we might not even be able to repay the seeds we borrowed from Lijia Village. How can we possibly face the son of the mountain god?"

"Besides, even if the son of the mountain god were truly willing to save us, what then? He can't possibly conjure up food out of thin air, can he?"

At this point, Uncle Lu seemed to remember something and suddenly paused.

"Maybe... there really is still hope for us?"

Let's rewind to a few hours earlier, in the valley near Shan'ao Village.

"Is this why you woke me up so early in the morning?"

Looking at the giant tortoise with its head cut off, Xi Luo turned her face away with considerable disgust.

Even though only one night had passed, the tortoise's body had already begun to emit a foul odor.

In particular, the foul blood gushing from the wounds almost submerged the entire valley.

The moment I smelled that nauseating stench of blood.

Xi Luo began to regret why she had followed Li Boyang to this godforsaken place.

"This needs to be dealt with urgently..."

"Otherwise, if this corpse is allowed to decompose here, it will eventually pollute all the waterways within a hundred miles."

Li Boyang frowned, equally surprised that the tortoise's body would decompose so quickly.

This abnormal rate of decay is clearly related to those shadowy figures, and is a sequela caused by the continuous erosion of the corpse by the evil energy.

"You want me to burn it down?"

Upon hearing Xi Luo's words, Li Boyang shook his head decisively without hesitation to express his denial.

"No, that would be too wasteful..."

Seeing the puzzled look on Xi Luo's face, Li Boyang explained with a smile.

"This tortoise was not only a spirit that was close to a god in its previous life, but its shell was also engraved with 'yin-yang talismans'."

"I plan to make use of waste materials and forge a magical artifact that truly belongs to me."

As Li Boyang spoke, he slowly opened his palm.

hum!
In an instant, the Soul-Piercing Cauldron flew from Li Boyang's palm and rapidly expanded. From a small, exquisite alchemy furnace, to a cauldron several meters tall, and then back to its original size as a colossal object…

The Prison Soul Cauldron spun rapidly in mid-air, and an invisible suction force simultaneously acted on the tortoise's corpse.

hum!
First, the foul blood flowed back and surged into the Prison Soul Cauldron.

Then the enormous corpse began to slowly detach from the ground and was swallowed into the Prison Soul Cauldron.

During this process, the Prison Soul Cauldron continued to grow larger, while the enormous tortoise corpse was strangely shrinking.

"Help me light the fire; I need to concentrate now."

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo immediately understood why Li Boyang had pulled her over.

"Are you treating me like free labor again?"

Despite her complaints, Xi Luo ultimately leaped into the air, transforming into a red leopard and igniting the massive Soul Cauldron in mid-air.

tumultuous!
The moment the flames were ignited, seven-colored alchemical fire overflowed from the cauldron.

For the first time, all the talismans and incantations surrounding the Prison Soul Cauldron were lit up.

Immediately, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged into the Prison Soul Cauldron like rivers flowing into the sea, becoming fuel for the burning pill fire.

Vortex... Vortex... Vortex...

The commotion caused by the Prison Soul Cauldron was simply too great.

In just a short breath, a visible vortex of energy formed in mid-air.

In contrast, Li Boyang calmly took out the Destiny Bone Armor and began the formal divination and deduction process.

Until everything is confirmed to be ready.

Li Boyang then officially began his first real "weapon forging".

tumultuous……

His hands quickly formed a mudra, and the life energy within his body surged like ocean waves.

In the blink of an eye, Li Boyang's life essence surged into the Prison Soul Cauldron, and then guided more life essence to merge into the tortoise corpse.

At that very moment, the tortoise's flesh and blood were completely refined, transforming into pure life energy that dissipated.

On the contrary, it was the tortoise shell engraved with the Yin-Yang talisman.

After absorbing the surging life force and the energy of heaven and earth, it shone with a light as dazzling as the sun.

Amidst the blazing fire, the proverbs and incantations on the tortoise shell were gradually completed and simplified.

Correspondingly, the massive tortoise shell, as large as a mountain, gradually shrank, embodying the concept of "concentration is the essence."

"what is that?"

Startled, Xi Luo, who was manipulating the alchemical fire, let out a gasp of surprise.

As the tortoise shell shrank, the seven-colored elixir fire inexplicably developed a sense of harmony and balance.

Soon, the seven colors faded quickly, replaced by a purer, colorless elixir fire.

tumultuous!
Under the scorching heat of this colorless elixir, the tortoise shell gradually shrank to the size of a palm.

From afar, one can see surging life energy flowing along the incantations and symbols on the tortoise shell, radiating a vibrant life force that is completely at odds with its own nature.

But at that moment, a phantom of a tortoise emerged from its shell, yet it was unable to manifest its complete form.

As a result, the palm-sized tortoise shell suddenly swelled up again, showing signs of getting out of control.

Fortunately, Li Boyang reacted quickly and managed to control the tortoise shell immediately.

"Huh? It's not possible to mold it in one go?"

Seeing that even with continued effort, the tortoise shell could not be shrunk any further, it was now Li Boyang's turn to be surprised and doubtful.

"The Yin-Yang talisman is divided into Yin and Yang. The current one only has the Yang side and lacks the Yin side."

"It seems this treasure isn't ready to be born yet!"
