A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and at noon on this day, in front of the largest building in the village, all men, women and children gathered, today was Bertani's sixteenth birthday, and it was also the day to hold a bloodline awakening ceremony for her.

Pentani's mother's injuries are no longer in serious trouble with Kane's help and many days of recuperation, this ceremony is naturally presided over by her, Kane looked around for a while, and did not find Pentani's father, it seems that his resentment is really deep enough, even his own daughter's major event did not come, in the fox clan, the bloodline awakening ceremony is equivalent to the child's coming-of-age ceremony, and parents should naturally be present.

Several people were able to attend because of Kane's relationship, and even Shirley was a little excited, such a ceremony was not easy to observe.

Bethany, as the protagonist of today, was wearing a very exotic costume, standing in front of the crowd with a solemn face, Kane looked her up and down, feeling that this dress seemed to be very different from what they usually wear, in general, it was too conservative, except for a small half of the face exposed, the rest of the part was covered by heavy costumes and strangely shaped headdresses, but it was expected that this should be the orthodox costume of the fox clan, and it seemed that this group did not respect tradition very much.

However, it is understandable that anyone with their proud body will not be willing to wrap themselves tightly all day.

The door of the building was slowly opened after Pentani's mother's impassioned statement, Kane already knew from Bethany's mouth that this was the ancestral hall of the clan, and it was also the most sacred place here, and at this time, when he saw the gate open, he couldn't help but look curiously, not knowing what would be inside, whether it was also full of spirit cards like an ordinary ancestral hall.

As the door opened, the atmosphere around became solemn, and Bretani's mother took the lead, only to see each one put their hands on their faces and blindfolded them, and then bent down and bowed, Kane had heard Bethany introduce this etiquette, which means 'dare not look wide', representing the highest reverence for someone, usually only used when facing ancestors.

A few people had no choice but to bow as the locals followed the example of others, and when they raised their heads, they saw the furnishings in the ancestral hall, which was much larger than Kane imagined, and there were indeed many spirit cards in it, but this spirit card was very different, it was not a foot-high wooden brand, but a large stone that was a person high, shaped like a straight and straight mountain, with the names and lives of some people written on it in unknown paint.

However, the most surprising thing is that these spirit cards are not arranged in a regular row, but scattered arrangement, but if you look down from a high place, you can see that they are spread out in a circle according to a certain rule, and in the center there is a half-meter-high circular stone platform, which is densely carved with all kinds of runes, these runes are gradually extended outward by the method of Yin carving, covering all the areas where the spirit cards are located, and it looks like a small ditch.

Kane paid special attention to it, and saw that those runes were dark red, and there seemed to be some kind of liquid sediment at the bottom, and when he smelled it carefully, a faint bloody smell permeated his nose, Kane's heart was suddenly startled, and somehow he suddenly felt a little worried about Bethany.

Pentani's mother took the lead in walking in, standing outside the spirit card* and reciting a eulogy, after reading it, she made a magic seal with both hands, chanted a few very obscure incantations, and then played it out with both hands instantly, and saw that the spirit cards and the magic circle on the ground suddenly began to emit a red light, but this light was very dim, making people feel mysterious and heavy.

Pentani had obviously been informed of the process of the ritual before, frowned and glanced at the glowing spirit cards and magic circles inside, his face showed some determination, and he turned back to Kane and smiled sweetly and walked in.

Because she was covered with all kinds of ornaments, there was a jingle as soon as she walked, Kane looked at her back, and the worry in her heart gradually thickened, how to look at this ritual and make people feel bloody, I don't know what will happen to her next.

However, Kane's question could not be answered, and as soon as Bretani entered, the two heavy doors slowly closed, and no one except Bretani's mother could see what was going on inside, and an old woman of the fox clan stood up and said something.

Mark hurriedly translated: "She said that a few elders should stay behind and take turns guarding them, and the others would go back first." ”

"Is this the end?" Liya had an unconcealable disappointment on her face, and several other people were also very depressed, thinking that they could see something magical, but they didn't expect to see only one opening, and the key parts couldn't be seen at all.

The crowd began to disperse gradually, and Leah saw Kane's solemn silence, and said with a smile: "Let's go, she should be fine..."

Kane glanced at her angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, my fox spirit has a long life!"

Leah smiled: "In that case, what are you worried about, let's go!"

Kane sighed, looked at the remaining elders in front of the door, turned to Mark and said, "Mark, can you do me a favor?"

Mark nodded hurriedly, and Kane smiled awkwardly, "Can you help me ask those elders how long this ceremony will take." ”

Mark nodded slightly and walked up, chattered with an old woman for a while, and came back with a bitter face and said: "They say that this is not necessarily, there are ten days and half a month long, and the shortest is three or five days, it seems that the longer you stay in it, the better, but it is said that there are also people who fail to awaken, and it is estimated that they will come out in a while." ”

"It won't be so unlucky!" Kane was anxious, first hoping that Bethany would finish it quickly, but now he hoped that the door would not be opened.

"No, I have to stay here, you guys go back first. Kane said firmly.

"Then I'll accompany you. Leah's face became serious, knowing that this matter was related to Bretani's future, and it was no joke.

Kane nodded, and the few people couldn't say anything, so they had to go back to their residence first.

Kane simply sat cross-legged on the ground, like the elders who guarded this place, and Leah wanted to find something to distract him, but it was difficult to say anything when she saw him like this.

"At first I thought you were acting, but now it looks like you really like her!" said Leah sourly.

Kane looked back at her, "Actually, I don't really understand, I thought that I might just feel guilty and grateful for her, but after a long time, I found that I seemed to really fall in love with her." ”

Leah smiled, "What about me, if one day I go to a place where life and death are unpredictable, will you wait for me?"

Kane shook his head, "No, I'll go with you!"

Liami glanced at him and nodded slightly with a smile.

The two of them sat quietly until it was dark and did not see the door opened, and Kane's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he let out a long breath and said, "It seems that she should not fail." ”

"Shall we go back then?"

Kane nodded, pulling her back to her lodgings.

'Boom!' In the Dan Hall of Qianqiu Gate, there was a sudden explosion in an independent Dan room, Feng Heng was not surprised when he looked at the debris and drug residues all over the ground, there was only a dazed look in his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Ninth Elder, this..."Elder Wu, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Elder Wu had heard this kind of voice countless times, and he naturally knew what was going on, this was the lack of fire control that caused Danding to be unable to withstand the explosion, commonly known as 'frying furnace' in the alchemy world, and it was the most failed result of alchemy, but he had never encountered this situation since following this 'master' alchemy, and today was the first time he heard this long-lost voice.

But fortunately, Feng Heng is only using an ordinary pill now, and he naturally won't take out the black devil to use it to refine this low-grade pill, so he doesn't have much to lose except for being a little embarrassed.

Feng Heng let out a long sigh and sat on the ground.

Elder Wu walked over with a worried expression, "Elder Nine seems to be a little uneasy recently, otherwise let's pause for a few days and wait for Elder Nine to adjust before starting." ”

Feng Heng frowned, he didn't have anything to worry about, but Pytani on the other side had been in the mysterious ancestral hall for almost a month, and there was still no movement at all, it was not only Kane who was flustered, but even Pentani's mother and several elders of the fox clan began to worry, although it was said that the longer the time to enter, the better, but there was also a limit, in the past, even the most talented people could only stay in it for half a month at most, and Pentani's current situation is probably a little difficult to say.

Bretani's mother had already come out the next day, and according to her, she was just helping Tetrani build a bridge between the Heroic Spirits of the ancestors, and as soon as Bretani entered the state of awakening, everything was on her own.

His woman is in a state of unknown life and death, Kane is naturally unable to sleep, and Feng Heng has also been greatly affected, but his current work cannot be stopped.

After more than two years of hard practice, now the second and third grades of the pill can be said to be handy, and what the sect is currently lacking is this grade of pills, recently the master of the thousand sects has thought of a move, wanting to double the supply of pills for the disciples in the sect, such a project is naturally not completed by one or two people, but requires the entire Dantang people to join in.

So Hall Master Li thought of a way to let the nine elders of the Dantang refine each of the pills below the third grade that were now supplied in the sect, and then record the heat, technique and experience during the refining, and then specially recreated a batch of very targeted Dan furnaces according to the size of the fire, each of which was used to refine specific pills.

In the end, the techniques and experiences they recorded were distributed to the other disciples of the Dantang for refining, which was equivalent to letting everyone only be responsible for refining one or a few of the pills for many years, the so-called practice makes perfect, and the output could naturally be greatly improved, as for the improvement of the level of those disciples, this could only be considered slowly.

Feng Heng, as the ninth elder of Dantang, naturally joined this work without hesitation, although his rank is still very low, but he is a person who no one dares to underestimate, so he has become a little busy, fortunately, there is also Elder Wu from the side, just let him watch and record at the same time, there is a special place Feng Heng will explain.
