"Clang——"

"Clang——"

"Clang——"

A segment of transparent ice crystal-like pocket-sized flying sword hovered above, trembling like vibrating cicada wings, emitting a bright yet chilling sound.

Streaks of pale golden light rippled outwards like water ripples, slicing through space, creating space rifts, with an aura of destruction seeping through, making one’s scalp tingle.

Xu Ran’s eyes shone brilliantly, with a hint of satisfaction from the depths of his gaze!

Over a month of day and night effort cutting this white jade giant bone, finally, it’s completed!

"Good!"

Xu Ran wiped the sweat off his forehead, gently moved his fingers, and the pocket-sized flying sword emitting pale golden light hovering above him halted in front of him.

Then he reached out and placed it onto the hilt of the pocket-sized flying sword, and the vibrating pocket-sized flying sword abruptly stopped.

"This first pocket-sized flying sword is more or less at great success!" Xu Ran said with satisfaction holding the pocket-sized flying sword.

In this month, not only did he slice the white jade giant bone, but he also continually refined the pocket-sized flying sword to reach a great level of cultivation.

Xu Binghu brought over two large buckets to collect the bone marrow flowing out of the white jade giant bone, then asked, "Xiao Ran, is it time to prepare for the herbal bath?"

"If it’s possible, I’ll ask Old Qi to bring over all the remaining herbs. This past month, Old Qi and the others have been anxiously waiting!"

During this month, all the people of Great Wilderness Border Village, in the morning, would first enter the Great Mountain to collect dew, then search all over the mountain for medicinal herbs, also hunting various Demon Beasts to collect demon bones.

Xu Ran nodded, "A month of waiting is indeed long enough!"

"Once all the materials are gathered, the herbal bath can start!"

A month’s time spent cutting the white jade giant bone, although the Immortal Sword Skill improved significantly, his cultivation did not see much progress. This herbal bath is a huge opportunity for him.

"Xiao Ran," Xu Binghu asked worriedly, "you haven’t rested much this past month, perhaps you should rest for a day?"

As Xu Ran’s father, he still worried about his son’s health.

Lian Ji appeared concerned and tried to persuade from the side, "Xiao Ran, maybe rest for a day first, you just finished cutting the white jade giant bone, and now the herbal bath."

Xu Ran waved it off, "No need, I’m very spirited now. Other matters can wait until after the herbal bath!"

Currently, time is of the essence, and not a moment can be wasted.

"Since Xiao Ran has said so, I’ll notify Old Qi now." Xu Binghu fully supported Xu Ran’s decision and then went out.

...

Half an hour later.

Outside the Xu Family courtyard, villagers from Great Wilderness Border Village gathered at the entrance, each holding some herbs from the Great Mountain in their hands, craning their necks, eager to get a glimpse inside the Xu Family courtyard.

Back when Xu Binghu brought the white jade giant bone back, everyone in the village knew about it, and many had seen the peculiarities of the giant bone in the courtyard.

Some villagers who had only heard but never seen it were also very interested, and when they received Old Qi’s notification, they came to Xu Family’s door with the herbs and demon bones they collected for Xu Ran.

"Alright, stop craning your necks!"

Old Qi stood at the front of the crowd, using his small frame to block their eager curiosity from entering and observing.

Though the Xu Family courtyard was large, it couldn’t accommodate the entire village, moreover, this occasion was extremely important to Xu Ran, and not an error could be afforded, so they couldn’t enter.

"Put all the herbs and demon bones you collected into these baskets, and we’ll take them in," Old Qi instructed the villagers to place what they brought into several large baskets nearby, and then Old Qi and Xu Binghu moved everything into the courtyard.

At this moment.

Xiaobai flapped its wings, effortlessly levitating the already prepared giant tripod to slowly float to the center of the Xu Family courtyard.

"Bang!"

With another flap of its wings, the stable air currents suddenly dispersed, and the several-ton giant tripod fell fiercely, leaving four deep pits on the ground with its four legs.

Immediately, roaring flames ignited below the giant tripod, and in no time, it turned red-hot.

Xiaobai, stationed nearby, used its beak to pick up a bucket of bone marrow and pour it into the giant tripod, then poured in the dew collected by the villagers.

"Gurgle gurgle---"

As the two liquids made contact, the giant tripod boiled instantly, and a faint white vortex rose within it.

"Father, throw all the collected medicinal herbs and demon bones in," Xu Ran began to direct everyone, then looked at Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, once I’m inside, add more bone marrow and dew from the giant tripod if you see it running low, don’t stop until the herbal bath is complete!"

Xu Binghu and Xiaobai nodded solemnly.

It can be said that this matter is extremely important and cannot afford any mistakes.

This herbal bath took a month’s preparations, and for Xu Ran, who is only one year and eight months old, it’s a very long time.

"Hoo----"

Xu Ran exhaled a long breath, eyes coldly fixed on the red-hot giant tripod, and subsequently, a white vortex, similar to that of the giant tripod, rose around his body, even stronger than the vortex within the giant tripod.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Great Wilderness Border Village, Xu Ran ascended slowly, seated cross-legged, like an immortal who had descended to the mortal realm, his gaze steadfast and blazing.
