The flames in the fire pit were about to be extinguished, and the bear hunter's wife slowly added some pine branches to it, and the fire immediately grew bigger. Drying away her tears, the bear-hunter stirred a few times in the clay pot with a stick, and the smell of venison mixed with the fragrance of wild vegetables filled the room.

A wooden bowl was taken out and placed on the ground, and the bear-hunting wife prepared to pour out the pot of broth and feed it to her husband and son, who were unconscious.

"Sister......" A call sounded outside the door, and a woman who resembled the bear-hunting wife walked in, wrapped in animal skins, and walked with a whirring wind. "Are your brother-in-law and the cub getting better?" but it was the sister of the bear hunting wife, the wife of the patriarch Chifengyan, Nulu Yan.

Although the female deer is a woman, she has a great talent for cultivation, and now she is in the early stage of martial arts, and she is a good hand in the Yan clan. So it has its own name. Today, I went out of the valley with my husband to hunt, and I think I just came back.

"It's still the same, I've been unconscious...... Sister, I really don't know what to do......" Seeing her sister, the bear hunting wife couldn't help but cry again.

The female deer patiently comforted her sister a few words, and then said, "Sister, we walked a few more miles today. I went to the old spring and picked back a few herbs that the clan elders wanted to use. The clan elder said that tomorrow he will refine medicine for his brother-in-law and the bear cub! How capable the clan elder is, that is what the big leader has boasted about himself! I believe that my sister, brother-in-law and bear cub will be fine. ”

"Really, sister?!" exclaimed the bear hunter in surprise, a little incredulous.

The elder of the clan is the oldest man in the clan, who is over sixty years old, and is the wisest person. In the Yan clan, the authority of the clan elder is even greater than that of the patriarch, and it is said that the clan elder can also do immortal arts!

It is not clear whether the clan elder can hunt the bear wife with immortal magic, but the clan elder's ability to refine medicine is known to everyone in the clan. During the Great Migration, many of the seriously injured warriors were saved by the elixir of the clan elders. It's just that because the clansmen have been cowering in the valley and don't dare to go out over the years, there are not enough herbs, and the opportunities for the clan elders to refine medicine are few.

Unexpectedly, this time the clan elder would open a furnace to refine medicine for her husband and son, and her heart was full of gratitude.

Looking back at her husband and son, who were still unconscious, and thinking of the patriarch and her sister risking their lives to go deep into the mountains in order to collect medicine, the bear hunter wife couldn't help but hold her sister's hand tightly and shed tears...... The cub is still unconscious. He was not injured, and according to the clan elders, he was not sick, but he was unconscious. And the dream kept talking, one would say something "don't fail the course", and the other would shout "Xiao Yueyue" with a frightened face...... Don't come here", and more often than not, muttering strange words that the bear hunter's wife couldn't understand and couldn't understand. It's really inexplicable and heart-wrenching.

Shaking his head, he tugged at the animal skin covering his son. The bear hunter's wife took the tools, called the bear hunter Yan who was in a daze in the courtyard, and went to the woods in the valley to collect wild fruits and vegetables with the old and young of the clan.

Bear Hunter is now only one-armed, and the former No. 1 warrior has no choice but to follow the old and young to gather together and provide them with the necessary protection.

The Yan clan doesn't raise idlers, and they really can't afford to raise idlers.

I'm afraid I can't go hunting! I'm afraid I can't do it! I'm blind a good man!

The food in the valley is getting harder and harder to pick. In the past, the hunted game was the main source of food for the tribe, and the wild animals in the valley also had time to recuperate. Now, the clan's combat power has greatly decreased, and it is becoming more and more difficult to go out to hunt. The hunt has been changed to a three-day hunt, and it is all within ten miles of the valley mouth. How many bully beasts are there near Taniguchi for you to hunt all year round? Can't I run away? Hunting parties often go out all day and get very little. With less prey, the pressure to gather increases dramatically. The same question remains, how much food can you collect in a valley of this size for a year-round period?

Food is scarce, and the plight of the Yan people is becoming increasingly apparent. If the food problem cannot be solved in a short time, the destruction of the Yan clan is just around the corner.

This is the seventh day that the cub has been in a coma.

Three days ago, the clan elder opened the furnace for alchemy. In addition to the women who went out to collect and the necessary vigilance, men, women and children of the tribe gathered together to watch this increasingly rare event.

Especially those children who had never seen alchemy, they were even more cheering, running around in the open space. The disturbing adults were upset, and they scolded twice, and then the children quieted down, flashing their eyes, and watched curiously as the old man tinkered with the black rumbling Dan furnace.

The patriarch placed the furnace on a large flat bluestone in the middle of the village. From the animal skin pocket he carried with him, he carefully felt for a few stones that glowed with blue light. The patriarch explained in a low voice on the side, the stone is called the spirit stone, it is a strange thing gathered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is very cherished, it will be used in alchemy and alchemy, and it can assist in cultivation. Then there was a long sigh, and not far from the valley was a small vein of spirit stones, but unfortunately it was occupied by a nest of water flies, which was very hateful! If we still had two hundred warriors...... No, as long as a hundred, it must be ......

The precious spirit stones in the patriarch's mouth were crushed into powder by the clan elders one by one, put into the jade bowl, mixed with the blood of demon beasts and some unknown mineral powder, stirred evenly, and carefully smeared on the bluestone around the Dan furnace with his hands little by little, drawing symbols with a mysterious luster.

The clan elder moved very slowly, his face was solemn, and after drawing the spell, a thin bead of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Then, the patriarch sat in front of the Dan furnace and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

In the middle of the day, the patriarch opened his eyes and lit the charcoal fired with the thousand-year-old dragon pine trunk under the Dan furnace to preheat the Dan furnace. The dragon pine charcoal burns quietly, there is no smoke, but it exudes a good fragrance. The yellowish flame licked* the bottom of the furnace.

After the preheating was completed, the clan elder took out the processed herbs, threw them into the Dan furnace one by one in order, closed the lid, closed his eyes, and chanted words in his mouth. Another half hour passed, and the children had lost interest and started to play with each other, and the adults were also drowsy. Hearing the clan elder drink clearly, a thin stream of blue-green gas shot out of his mouth and into the flames at the bottom of the furnace. Quickly took out a few demon beast crystal nuclei and threw them into the bottom of the furnace. With the addition of gas and beast spirits, the orange flame suddenly rose as if it had been helped, and its color changed from orange to a faint cyan.

The patriarch looked solemn, his hands were sealed, and he quickly played one spell after another to stabilize the fire. A quarter of an hour passed, and the flames began to turn yellow again. The patriarch let out a sigh of relief, and quickly cast a few spells with both hands. The lid of the furnace jumped up on its own, and three dark cyan pills flew out of the furnace. The clan elder hurriedly stretched out his hand and took the jade bowl to catch the pill. Placed under his nose and sniffed deeply, the wrinkles on his face completely bloomed like daisies, revealing an extremely intoxicated expression.

The onlookers gathered around and looked curiously at the pill in the elder's hand. The pill was dark cyan in color, round and flawless, and there was a golden yellow pattern on it, which was constantly circulating, and it looked extremely mysterious. And you can get a faint fragrance from afar, which makes people feel refreshed.

The child in the vicinity reached out to touch it, and the patriarch was startled and woke up from his intoxicated state. Hurriedly took out the jade bottle and filled the pill, and tightly closed the cork. Only then did he turn his head and blew his beard and glared at the outstretched child.

The child's face was full of curiosity, "Grandpa, what kind of treasure is that stone?" Isn't it delicious, how does it smell better than venison and pheasant?"

The clan elder stretched out his hand and slapped the child's head, "Miyang baby, you are naughty! I broke grandpa's elixir, see me tell you Lao Tzu to clean you up!"

Mi Yangwa stuck out her tongue, obviously not very afraid of the respected clan elders. Grabbing the old man's sleeve and shaking it non-stop. The clan elder had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, I'm afraid of you sheep cub." This elixir is called Qing Luo Dan, the effect is to fix the soul and clear the soul, and it is incomparably wonderful, and it is an indispensable elixir. What is the elixir? Well, the pill is divided into nine grades, the first three grades are the elixir, the middle three grades are the elixir, and the last three grades are the supreme elixir. Generally, the pills are not included in the product, and the product is a treasure, which is extremely rare. Old man, I have been refining medicine all my life, and the number of times I have practiced Dan is only a handful. This time he was lucky enough to succeed, it is really the blessing of Emperor Wa! It seems that the cub of the bear hunting family is really a person with great fate!"

After refining the Dan, the clansmen dispersed and went their own way.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
