Chapter 20: Have You Ever Fought for Beast Milk in Your Life?
After the sacrifice concluded, the adults of Stone Village dispersed. The children, however, were gathered by the Old Village Chief.
"The medicinal bath is over; it's time for you to diligently study!" The Old Village Chief began to instruct the many children of Stone Village in learning bone texts.
Bone texts are symbols that naturally manifest on the bones of powerful Primordial Vicious Beasts, possessing mysterious and unfathomable power! They are the foundation of Cultivation. Shi Jian's previous understanding of bone texts was also learned from the Old Village Chief. It's just that the Old Village Chief's understanding of bone texts was relatively crude. This led to Shi Jian not having a solid foundation in this aspect of Cultivation. That's why Shi Jian chose to re-Cultivate.
Now, having Cultivated the Original True Understanding, Shi Jian had a deeper understanding of bone texts. Especially after he re-Cultivated the Blood Moving Realm. He listened for a while but really couldn't bear it anymore; the Old Village Chief's understanding of bone texts was truly too crude. However, this was unavoidable. Stone Village had no Legacy in this regard. This understanding of bone texts was something the Old Village Chief had figured out on his own.
Shi Jian simply took the Old Village Chief's place and began to explain bone texts to the many children. The children, who had been frowning while listening, immediately lit up with excitement when they saw Shi Jian was teaching instead. Shi Jian was now the idol of all the children in Stone Village, and with their idol personally teaching, everyone naturally listened attentively.
As Shi Jian explained, he also sorted out his own understanding of bone texts. While explaining, he also gained a new Comprehension Ability of these bone texts. Thus, the many children gathered around him, listening to his explanations until night completely fell before they stopped. The children were still eager to learn, and even the Old Village Chief occasionally showed expressions of sudden realization.
After the many children dispersed, the Old Village Chief found Shi Jian with a hint of melancholy.
"Little Stone, your current understanding of bone texts has surpassed my decades of research!" The Old Village Chief was both relieved and a little lost. He was relieved by Shi Jian's excellence. He was lost because he had researched bone texts for decades, yet now he was surpassed by Shi Jian.
"Without your teachings, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today!" Shi Jian responded respectfully. What he said was true; without the Old Village Chief, even with his cheat, he would have been at a loss in learning bone texts. Although the bone texts taught by the Old Village Chief were crude, they could indeed guide people onto the path of Cultivation. His decades of tireless research into bone texts were to create conditions for the children in the village that were not inferior to the outside world. Heaven knows how many sleepless nights of painstaking research went into those relatively crude bone texts by the Old Village Chief.
"Alas!" The Old Village Chief sighed upon hearing this, then spoke with some embarrassment: "Little Stone, from now on, could I trouble you to be responsible for teaching these children bone texts? You don't have to teach every day; once every seven days would be fine?"
The Old Village Chief felt a bit red-faced saying this. He had already troubled Shi Jian before to hunt Vicious Beasts for the children of Stone Village. Now he was asking Shi Jian to teach bone texts to the children of Stone Village again. The key was that Shi Jian himself was still a child... This made the Old Village Chief feel embarrassed. However, for the sake of the children of Stone Village receiving proper education, the Old Village Chief had no choice but to humble himself.
Shi Jian originally thought it was something major, but after hearing the Old Village Chief say that, he immediately smiled: "Of course, I will compile a basic book on bone texts then. Even if I'm not in Stone Village in the future, you can use this book to enlighten the children of Stone Village!"
The idea of compiling a book on bone texts was something Shi Jian had just come up with. He worked hard, but the Old Village Chief's understanding of bone texts was indeed crude. What he taught could guide people onto the path, but it was difficult to Cultivate a Genius. Although Shi Jian could teach the children of Stone Village bone texts in his place, he wouldn't stay in Stone Village forever. Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime! So he decided to compile an introductory book on bone texts. This would also allow Shi Jian to sort out what he had gained from reading the Original True Understanding. Two birds with one stone.
Shi Jian had already thought of a name for the book. It would be called "Three Years of Bone Texts, Five Years of Blood Moving!" It would surely ensure the children of Stone Village had a happy childhood.
"That's excellent!" Hearing that Shi Jian was going to write a basic book on bone texts, the Old Village Chief was instantly overjoyed. The bone texts he taught were all self-explored and lacked a proper system. If Shi Jian could write a basic book, it would definitely be a hundred times better than his haphazard teaching.
"If you really write it, I'll make sure these mischievous kids memorize every single word, even if they have to do it by rote!" The Old Village Chief promised excitedly.
Shi Jian's lips curled into a wicked smile upon hearing this. With the Old Village Chief's words, he would definitely make "Three Years of Bone Texts, Five Years of Blood Moving" thick and heavy!
After receiving Shi Jian's promise, the Old Village Chief hummed a little tune and happily went home. Shi Jian also took Little Brat back to the stone house.
"Did you remember the bone texts I just taught you?" A jar appeared in Shi Jian's hand, filled with sweet beast milk, mixed with some precious blood and precious medicine. Smelling the enticing milky fragrance, Little Brat's eyes were fixed on the jar.
"If you learn all the bone texts I just taught you, this jar of milk is yours!" Shi Jian's voice was like a devil's whisper. Undoubtedly, he was giving Shi Hao special tutoring.
"Okay!" Little Brat's eyes never left the jar of beast milk for a moment, but his actions were swift. He extended his two small hands, and then, with a hum, a faint glow appeared in his palm, followed by a peculiar character floating in his palm!
"Not bad, it's yours!" Shi Jian was very satisfied and placed the beast milk in front of Little Brat.
"Beast milk!" Little Brat exclaimed excitedly, then hugged the jar, which was almost as big as him, and gulped down the milk. He drank all the beast milk in one go, then dizzy, he flopped onto the bed.
Shi Jian laughed at the sight; this beast milk was mixed with a portion of true blood, and its energy was extraordinary! Little Brat had gone through a medicinal bath during the day, and now he drank such a large jar of beast milk; no matter how strong his Physique was, he couldn't handle it. He needed time to absorb it. So he passed out immediately after drinking it. This could be considered 'milk drunk'.
Shi Jian recorded the entire process through the chat group, intending to show it to Heavenly Emperor Huang later. After putting Little Brat on the bed, Shi Jian couldn't help but marvel at the little guy's strong Comprehension Ability. All the knowledge about bone texts he had taught earlier in the square, and the knowledge he had just tutored Little Brat on, Little Brat learned after hearing it only once! This Comprehension Ability was terrifying.
Little Brat was already serious in his actions, his Comprehension Ability was terrifying, and there was beast milk as an inducement... With these three buffs stacked, Shi Jian estimated that Little Brat would grow up very quickly.
In the future, when Heavenly Emperor Huang suppressed the ages and recalled this day, he might also say: "Have you ever fought for beast milk in your life?"
After the surroundings quieted down, Shi Jian also returned to his bed and then opened the chat group again!
[Shi Jian: "Brothers, today I got a very awesome Cultivation Technique, the Original True Understanding. See if it has any effect on your Cultivation!"]
[Shi Jian: "The Original True Understanding in my world is called the Source of All Methods, the carrier of the Dao, and the origin of all bone texts. It is not a specific, single powerful secret art, but it contains profound explanations and understandings of the essence of Cultivation, the rules of heaven and earth, and the great principles of the Dao."]
[Shi Jian: "Although your world doesn't have bone texts, this thing should be good for your Comprehension Ability of the Dao!"]
The originally silent group suddenly became lively.
[Xiao Yan: "What?! The carrier of the Dao? What kind of Cultivation Technique is so awesome? It sounds thousands of times more amazing than my Flame Mantra. Is it a Cultivation Technique that surpasses the Heaven Rank?"]
[Fang Han: "Original True Understanding? Source of All Methods? Is there actually such a Cultivation Technique in this world?"]
[Yang Qi: "How does it compare to my Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength?"]
[Meng Qi: "No, brother, I haven't even digested the benefits from before. I'm going to be stuffed to death!"]
Everyone who had been lurking suddenly all popped out.
