All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

They will then help me collect rare treasures and precious medicinal herbs.

All I need to do is come over every now and then and take away the ones I've collected.

After all, collecting data alone is too inefficient and slow. Finding reliable people to help you is the best approach.

As the sun set, twenty or thirty men were overjoyed.

Carrying their hunted prey, they walked back to the village with great excitement.

Many people at the village entrance were eagerly awaiting their return.

"We're back!" Upon seeing the figures at the village entrance, Shi Linhu waved and shouted wildly in that direction.

Being able to come back alive is a very happy thing, not to mention there are so many prey.

Nearly a hundred large and small wild beasts were piled up like a small mountain.

Everyone in the village was happy, and the younger children jumped and skipped around the prey.

Having prey means having meat to eat, which means having meat to eat for several days.

Shi Hao was also very happy and rushed to the village entrance immediately, waving to them.

Most of the other children rushed to their fathers' sides, pestering them to explain why they had gained so much this time.

Only Shi Hao was momentarily at a loss, but he himself didn't feel anything was wrong.

They clapped and laughed happily.

"Want some?" Li Yi handed over a small stone jar.

The jar contained many fist-sized, pink berries that tasted sweet and juicy.

Shi Hao accepted all offers and happily grabbed a berry and took a bite.

"Thank you," he said with a smile.

"You're welcome," Li Yi replied with a smile.

"What's your name?" he asked, his voice muffled as he ate the berries.

He remembered telling the other person his name, but the other person didn't tell him his name.

"My name is Li Yi." He smiled happily and gently pinched Shi Hao's chubby cheeks.

I must say, it feels great.

Shi Yunfeng skillfully bled various ferocious beasts to prepare medicinal baths.

Shi Hao ate the berries very quickly. He ate some himself and gave the rest to all his friends so they could share them.

"Here you go, this is the biggest and reddest." He picked out the best one from a jar of berries.

It's big and red, so it must be sweet and delicious.

Shi Hao stood tall and proud, seemingly extremely confident in the results of his selection.

He struggled to lift his head, trying to see Li Yi's face clearly.

"Thank you." Li Yi didn't refuse or hesitate, and naturally reached out to take it.

Sometimes, you shouldn't refuse a child's kindness, but rather accept it naturally and praise them.

This makes them feel useful and needed, which makes them even happier.

"Mmm, it's very sweet and delicious." Li Yi took a bite; the red berry did indeed taste quite good.

He had eaten several in the wild before, and he also picked the rest.

I saw Shi Hao alone earlier, so I gave it to him without thinking much about it.

"Hehehe..." Shi Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

However, he was still very happy to be praised.

On the other side, billowing snow and smoke were rising from many medicine cauldrons.

Countless children were brought in from all directions; some were still struggling, while others had already given up and lay down.

They tried to hide, but the places they hid in and the methods they used were the same ones their fathers had used more than a decade ago.

Although some children have come up with new ideas over the years, how could they possibly be a match for their parents? Their hidden methods were quickly exposed.

Shi Hao did not hide, but skipped and hopped into the medicine cauldron.

Chapter Eighty Runes

Li Yi sat to the side, skillfully roasting the beast meat, occasionally pinching off some salt and sprinkling it on.

“I spoke to the village chief, and he told me to give you these first.” Shi Linhu carried over a basket.

The basket contained many dried old medicines, as well as some rare medicinal herbs, which were piled on top.

This is the culmination of Shicun's many years of efforts, and it also reflects their deep affection.

Li Yi did not refuse, reached out and took it, placing it aside in preparation for later use.

The villagers were very happy, as this hunt had yielded an unexpectedly large harvest.

They danced around the campfire, jubilant and overjoyed.

…………

After the celebration ended, Li Yi went to the medicine cauldron and grabbed Shi Hao, who was soaking wet and red all over.

His consciousness was hazy, and his little face was rosy, like a ripe apple.

"Hmm." He opened his eyes with some difficulty, glanced at Li Yi but did not make any move.

Taking a medicinal bath is a very strenuous activity, even if there are deficiencies in his body that require a lot of replenishment of qi and blood.

However, even the small amount that remains is not something his current body can absorb.

Li Yi extended his mental energy towards Shi Hao's body, trying to explore the mysteries inside his physical form.

There was a defect in his chest, where there used to be something, which was probably the Supreme Bone.

However, his Supreme Bone was forcibly removed, leaving a slight defect in his body.

His body was extremely unwilling to give up. Instead of giving up, it wanted to devour large amounts of blood energy and rare treasures to grow the Supreme Bone again.

If his supreme bone can be reborn, its quality will surely reach a new level.

Perhaps there's a chance to cultivate a divine technique of true immortal level.

After all, it's a rebirth, a transformation from destruction to creation. Both its quality and strength will inevitably reach a new level.

However, achieving this is by no means easy; on the contrary, it is extremely difficult.

Even though Shi Hao should have been doomed after his Supreme Bone was removed, he survived as a child thanks to his strong will to live.

He was unwilling to accept his fate and desperately wanted to live.

Li Yi used his mental power to quickly locate his chest.

It was empty there, missing a piece, yet it seemed to be nurturing something extremely vast and magnificent.

It is very weak at this moment, hidden and not yet unleashed, but once it breaks through the soil, it will surely soar into the sky.

When Li Yi's mental energy came into contact with it, it seemed to be instantly absorbed, and a vast amount of mental power was continuously pulled into it.

He exerted a great deal of effort to slowly break free from the Supreme Bone's absorption of his spiritual power.

The Supreme Bone is now absorbing and devouring everything, sparing no expense and using any means necessary to restore itself.

However, it is still developing and may become very powerful in the future, but it is very weak now.

Li Yi thought to himself that he must treat Shi Hao better in the future.

I'll try to get him to develop the Supreme Bone so I can see it, since it's a rare runic treasure.

Runes are the foundation of cultivation in this world.

Legend has it that the runic script used by humans was created by ancient sages and great beings countless years ago.

It contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and explains the most basic operating rules of the entire world.

Legend has it that when the runes were first created, millet rained from the sky and ghosts and gods wept.

The runes created by the ancient sages can fundamentally influence the laws of heaven and earth, bringing unimaginable boosts to cultivators.

Similarly, this method of using runes is extremely difficult to practice.

To make it easier for future generations to cultivate, the runes had to be simplified again and again.

It has been simplified countless times over the years, its power has weakened considerably, but it is also easier to cultivate.

However, even today, some sacred sites or ancient heritage sites still retain the original runes.

Those were the first runes created by humankind, in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, containing immense power.

In addition, some runes were not created by humans, but were obtained from other ancient races.

The runes created by humans were inspired by the bone runes inside the bodies of the most powerful and ferocious beasts of ancient times.

Even today, some groups still hunt other powerful ancient species in order to obtain their ultimate techniques.

A single precious technique often contains at least dozens, and sometimes hundreds or even thousands, of runes.

Whether it's the ancient races or the sects of the human race, they all regard the precious techniques as the most valuable secrets of inheritance.

Even so, because the runes themselves were created by ancient sages.

Among the human race, there are many minor supernatural powers composed of runes. The runes used in these minor supernatural powers were basically created by ancient sages.

It is not based on the runes inside the body of a ferocious beast. This method cannot be compared with the real treasure techniques, but it is still an extremely rare supernatural power.

After all, the runes used were simplified, many times more complex.

If it is a genuine original rune, even if it is only a single character, its power will surpass that of many magical techniques.

After all, it was created by the ancient sages, and Heaven itself is in accordance with the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth, and can influence the laws of Heaven and Earth.
