Legacy of Stone Clan’s Ancestral Land

“The Stone Clan’s ancestral land is extraordinary, especially for supreme experts after the Formation Arrangement Realm,” said Fire Nation’s old king.

He was dressed in fiery red clothes. He sat cross-legged on a praying mat, his face full of wrinkles, and his eyes dim. However, when Stone Country’s ancestral land inheritance was mentioned, there was a type of envious radiance swirling within his eyes.

“Senior, please enlighten me,” Shi Hao humbly asked for guidance.

“With your talents, no one in Stone Country’s current generation can compare to you. If you head to Stone Country’s imperial palace, you’ll definitely be appointed as the inheritor of the throne. That inheritance will naturally be yours,” someone said from the side.

Shi Hao frowned. Right now, he wasn’t willing to enter Stone Country’s imperial palace because a bloody battle was unavoidable. There was no way he could calmly ascend to the throne.

“It’s a few ancient pill recipes,” said the Fire Nation’s old king because he saw that Shi Hao really didn’t know.

Shi Hao was stunned. The Stone Country’s ancestral land only had a few ancient pill recipes. Wasn’t this a bit too ordinary? The Fire Country’s ancestral land had a Holy Emperor Palace! There were endless opportunities.

“It seems like you really don’t know.” When he saw his expression, the Nine Spirit King on the side smiled slightly. Even though he was old, his vitality was abundant, and his head of golden hair shone brightly.

“Stone Country’s pill recipe is formidable. Even many ancient figures coveted it, yet they didn’t obtain it,” the Fire Raven King from the Li Fire Cavern said.

They all sounded so certain. It was enough to show that the pill formula was extraordinary.

“Look at all of us. We aren’t humans, but we’re extremely thirsty for those pill recipes. That’s enough to show how important it is,” the Nine Spirit King spoke very honestly.

The Fire Nation’s old king nodded and said, “In fact, those pill recipes can be considered priceless. Even those ancient divine mountains wanted them and spent a lot of effort, but they still didn’t find anything.”

An ape king added, “The Stone Country’s cultivation method is indeed extraordinary, but it hasn’t reached an astonishing level. However, their pill formulas have made many great sects in the wasteland region envious.”

Shi Hao was shocked. The Stone Country’s most precious inheritance was actually those things.

It was rumored that those pill recipes could revive the dead, and using those recipes to refine spiritual medicines could open up the human body’s potential treasury, enabling one to break through in the shortest amount of time.

Shi Hao was in the Formation Arrangement Realm, so he deeply understood just how difficult it was to break through. Compared to the previous cultivation realms, even if he used many times more time, it still wouldn’t be enough.

According to his speculations, if he wanted to make it into an even higher cultivation realm and become a supreme expert, it would take many years.

In fact, at his age, his accomplishment was already extremely astonishing. However, Shi Hao couldn’t stop. He knew that only by continuously advancing could he protect himself, only then could he act without restraint.

Otherwise, this so-called extremely talented genius might very well fall prematurely. Neither the Immortal Mountain nor the Heaven Mending Sect would watch him rise to prominence.

Even the Demonic Spirit Lake was like this. How could they allow him to rule over the wasteland region?

Now that the world was about to fall into chaos, it was an opportunity for him. He could take advantage of the chaos to rise. Even if the supreme experts who sealed the mountain were to appear again in the future, he would have nothing to fear.

The Fire Nation’s old king said with a sigh, “Unfortunately, I heard that the Stone Nation’s pill recipe was incomplete. Many things have happened since ancient times, and in the end, an extremely important pill recipe was lost.”

The old kings nodded. Otherwise, the Stone Country would be even more powerful, and there would be even more emperor-level experts than now!

Currently, all of Stone Country’s spiritual objects have been consumed by one or two individuals in the imperial palace. After the pill recipes were lost, they needed even more heavenly treasures.

“They’re just a few pill recipes. Can they be that powerful?” When Shi Hao heard this, he couldn’t believe it at first.

“Of course, they’re extraordinary. There are some who speculate that the origins of that pill are extremely mysterious. They can assist one’s cultivation to the greatest extent and open up the human body’s treasury.”

When Shi Hao heard this, he was stunned. Was the information reliable? He hesitated for a moment.

“The pill formulas are all in the hands of the Human Sovereign. Unfortunately, one of them has been lost. The lost pill formula was originally used with the others. It’s the most precious. Otherwise, it would be even more astonishing.”

According to the old kings, those pill recipes were extremely astonishing. One of them was currently the most effective for Shi Hao, which would allow him to surpass the Formation Arrangement Realm and become a supreme expert.

“It’s just a medicinal pill. In the end, it’s still an external object, so how could it have such great effects? I believe that even if I break through in that way, there should still be many drawbacks,” said Shi Hao.

Fire Nation’s old king shook his head and said, “Even though it is a pill recipe, its usage is different…”

Pill formulas could be used to concoct pills for cultivators to take. This was indeed a bit of a trick to make breakthroughs. It was easy to disturb one’s determination.

However, Stone Country’s ancient recipes were different. They could be used to refine pills, but their greatest use was to stop medicinal liquids from turning into pills. Instead, they were used to refine people and medicines together, stimulating the potential of the human body and opening up flesh and blood treasuries.

It wasn’t only refining pills but also tempering one’s body. Cultivating the Yin and Yang energy and tempering one’s body and spirit would allow one to undergo rebirth and achieve a transformation. There would be no sequelae, and one would only become stronger.

When Shi Hao heard this, he was stunned. After hearing these old kings explain in detail, he sucked in a cold breath of air.

Not only could the pill formula open up the potential of one’s body, but it could also increase one’s spiritual force. How astonishing was that? Not only was it refining medicine, but it was also refining one’s own body. This had already surpassed the scope of pill refinement.

“What a pity. Stone Country’s imperial family’s pill recipe is lost, and their ancestral land can no longer be found.” The Fire Raven King shook his head.

“The Stone Clan is extremely prudent and careful. They established an ancient country in the vast territory outside, yet they didn’t bring all of their clansmen with them. They sealed up that ancestral land and lost contact with the others. This is because they were afraid that the clansmen of the outside world would be annihilated. They hoped to leave behind a bloodline in the ancestral land so that they would never go extinct.”

When this matter was brought up, the old kings not only admired Stone Country’s ancestor’s decision, but they also felt some regret.

Now that they thought about it, if they wanted to find the complete pill formula, they definitely wouldn’t be able to do so in the outside world. Even the most important pill in the Stone Emperor’s hands was missing.

“As long as we can find that ancestral land, I believe even the Heaven Mending Sect and Immortal Mountain will be tempted. Rumor has it that that pill recipe is extraordinary and possesses an incredible origin. For Stone Country’s ancestors to be able to obtain it, they had to be very lucky,” said the Nine Spirit King.

When they talked about the past, they all sighed.

Unfortunately, after so many years, even Stone Clan itself couldn’t find a way back. It was rumored that there was an extraordinary thing buried in that ancestral ground, as well as the most powerful Guardian Spirit that Stone Country had found. It used its remains and other things to set up an astonishing formation that covered a radius of several thousand miles, making that place extremely difficult to find.

Shi Hao’s expression changed. He thought of Willow Deity. According to what it said, it took advantage of the Stone Clan, which was why it protected the villagers. It was resting there and absorbing the things underground. The formation was broken by the willow.

Moreover, in the end, the entire Stone Village was moved, so it should be easier to find than before.

“Senior, how many ancient pill recipes does Stone Clan have?” When Shi Hao said these words, he wasn’t calm at all but a bit excited.

“If it’s not lost, there should be five types.” The Fire Nation’s old king looked at him in surprise.

At this moment, Shi Hao felt his heart racing and his entire body heating up. He almost wanted to, his blood surging, incomparably excited. However, in the end, he fought back the urge and controlled his body, quickly calming himself down.

He was like that because Stone Village had five pill recipes, all of them passed down from the ancient era!

There was no need to think too much about it, nor was there any need to verify it. He already knew what they were. They were the most valuable things. If news of this spread, it would cause a great commotion.

When Shi Hao was in Stone Village, the old clan chief often felt sorry. The clan’s inheritance was broken, and those cultivation methods and other things were lost at some unknown age. The clansmen were no longer powerful.

In the end, only a few ancient cauldrons were left in the village, as well as some indestructible hard ancient objects and five pill recipes.

In the past, some of the remaining elders always felt like they had let down their descendants. It was because they didn’t leave behind any inheritances, and those methods that could allow Stone Village to stand proudly in the world were lost.

Now that he thought about it, Stone Clan’s ancestral land had encountered some unforeseen events and indeed lost many precious things. However, that most important and priceless inheritance was actually not cut off!

Even Shi Hao didn’t expect that it was actually those pill recipes!

They had no idea that they were holding onto such a treasure! Such important pill recipes were even coveted by those Archaic Divine Mountains. How could they be ordinary? However, Stone Village’s people were too naive and treated them as ordinary pill recipes.

How regretful would it be if they had lost those recipes?

Fortunately, the clansmen passed them down from generation to generation without losing any. They had held onto the things with the greatest value.

Shi Hao thought back to the suffering he went through when he was soaked in the medicinal cauldron. He managed to withstand the process, but his companions couldn’t endure it. All of them screamed and cried. It turned out that not only were they refining medicine, but they were also refining their own potential and treasures.

“It’s said that each recipe requires dozens or hundreds of medicinal herbs, and they’re all extraordinary. The consumption is huge.”

The old kings were still discussing it. Even though they never obtained the recipes, they had heard the rumors.

Even if ordinary people obtained those ancient pill formulas, it would still be difficult for them to make the recipes effective because just the medicinal ingredients alone were hard to get. Only top-notch large factions could gather them.

Shi Hao firmly believed this because he knew all about it. The old clan chief made it clear back then that the old medicines, centipedes, and scorpions in their medicinal baths were only substitutes. It was because the spiritual medicines and primordial precious blood required by pill recipes couldn’t be found in Stone Village.

At that time, obtaining Suan Ni’s blood was sheer luck. Even so, it was still far from enough. They couldn’t even gather the things needed for a single pill formula.

At this moment, Shi Hao understood why Stone Village’s next generation’s children were all stronger than their fathers. It was because Stone Village’s current conditions were much better than before. The materials they used to soak in medicinal baths had all improved quite a bit.

“I am also a beneficiary.” Shi Hao said to himself. However, he already calmed down without showing any emotions. Otherwise, this secret would be too shocking.

It turned out that Stone Village’s most precious inheritance had always been there and was never cut off. It was just that the villagers didn’t know about it. Divine light flickered in the depths of Shi Hao’s eyes.

He had searched everywhere, only to find that it was within his reach!

“I heard that the Stone Clan has a cauldron that is extremely formidable. It was found together with the pill recipes. Using it to refine the flesh will have astonishing effects,” said Fire Nation’s old king.

Shi Hao’s expression changed. He thought of that most peculiar black cauldron. It should be that one. Back then, when he was refining the precious flesh medicine, he heard all types of mysterious sounds. Even the diagrams on it seemed to be reviving.
