The evening sun was setting in the west.

When Li Boyang returned to Li Family Village with the [Xiangliu Talisman].

The Unihorned Rhinoceros at the village entrance was lazily lying in front of Xiluo’s shrine, while Silver Horn occasionally fed it various pills.

If you patiently observed for a while, you would notice that sometimes one or two bronze horse carriages, meant specifically for transporting children, would slowly pass by the village entrance.

These bronze horse carriages came from Hundred Lands School, following along the Mountain God Reservoir to the entrance of Li Family Village.

Until they completely left Li Family Village, these bronze horse carriages would gradually separate, following different village paths and mountain roads back to their respective villages.

To ensure the safety of the children, these bronze horse carriages were not the ordinary kind.

The bronze beasts pulling the carriages at the front had sharp teeth and a horn.

The hubs on the sides also had transformation functions, able to revert to limbs in case of emergencies.

Moreover, the back of the neck of those bronze beasts was embedded with a [Sound Transmission Talisman], enabling real-time communication with the village hunters.

Even the people driving these bronze horse carriages were all elites from various villages.

Every one of them was a master who practiced both the "Breathing Technique" and "Perception Technique," far exceeding ordinary mountain people in individual strength and perception abilities.

With them escorting this group of mischievous children.

There was no foolhardy creature in the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range daring enough to attack these specially-made bronze horse carriages.

Moreover, it’s not only children riding these bronze horse carriages.

Those teens nearing graduation, who had undergone professional learning and training, were also not a force to be underestimated.

These teenagers might lack combat experience or extensive life experience.

But they practiced "Five Elements Magic" and their achievements in divination were far beyond the reach of the older generation of mountain people.

Theoretically speaking, given enough preparation time, these teenagers could even join forces to confront real gods.

It may sound somewhat cruel, but this is the reality.

In the eyes of the knowledgeable in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, these teenagers are merely in a transitional stage.

Because although they possess more knowledge, more professional skills, and stronger combat abilities than the older generation.

They are noticeably behind those currently receiving basic education, the three-eyed children.

Whether in learning ability, innate divine power, or cultivation progress...

Those three-eyed children, no older than seven or eight, already have the tendency to comprehensively surpass them.

Those naturally three-eyed children are the future of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

The only consolation is that Li Boyang has not given up on these teenagers who seem to be gradually falling behind the times.

Besides the essential protective divine power of "Body-Protecting Gang Qi."

Li Boyang also specially holds extra classes for the graduates of each year, instructing them on the [Celestial Eye] to open the third eye.

Although this can’t completely make up for the gap between them and the three-eyed children.

At the very least, it can fully tap into the potential that the teenagers inherently possess, minimizing the gap with the three-eyed children to the greatest extent.

After all, these teenagers might not have awakened the celestial eye.

But they do carry the bloodline of the Huai River Witch inside, possessing the potential to awaken divine power.

The "Celestial Eye" that compensates for innate defects, combined with the "Qi Blood Pill" infused with Innate Qi, is enough to prevent them from falling too far behind in the future.

...........................

Watching all those bronze horse carriages leave Li Family Village.

Only then did Li Boyang slowly walk out of the forest, arriving at the shrine at the village entrance.

At the moment Li Boyang was seen, the Unihorned Rhinoceros immediately swatted Silver Horn with its tail.

Thus reminded, Silver Horn hurriedly stuffed the pills back into his pocket, losing the leisure he had while feeding the Unihorned Rhinoceros earlier.

"Did you steal your brother’s pills again?"

Looking at the flustered Silver Horn with slight helplessness, Li Boyang instantly recognized the source of these pills.

In the entire Yunmeng Marsh, besides himself and Ling Guzi, only Golden Horn could refine pills of such grade.

"I didn’t steal them; matters between siblings can’t be called stealing!"

"Besides, I’ve acknowledged him as my brother, so what’s wrong with taking some things from him?"

Mumbling softly, knowing she had been exposed, Silver Horn simply gave up.

"Master, you won’t tell him about this, will you?"

"He’s refined so many batches of pills, he probably can’t even remember the count himself, he wouldn’t notice if a few were missing."

Looking speechlessly at the pills in Silver Horn’s pocket, Li Boyang of course knew the other was just being stubborn.

Those scraps aside, but the pills Silver Horn took were clearly the top-grade pills, and the quantity was by no means just a few.

Normal pills are counted by "pieces."

But the pills belonging to Silver Horn were clearly counted by "pounds."

If Golden Horn didn’t notice this, Li Boyang couldn’t help but question his IQ.

"Do you think you stole them?"

"Did you ever think that maybe these pills were deliberately left for you by him?"

In the midst of Silver Horn’s stunned expression, Li Boyang, with considerable mischief, kept adding.

"When you were secretly taking those pills, did those gourds and bottles containing the pills have labels with the pill name, effects, dosage, and precautions?"

Without waiting for Silver Horn to retort, Li Boyang just laughed to himself.

"Haven’t you considered how many people can freely enter and leave the backyard of the Mountain God Temple?"

"Xiluo doesn’t care for Golden Horn’s pills at all, and both Golden Horn and I can tell their effects just by smelling them — who do you think those instructions were prepared for?"

Hearing this, Silver Horn’s face instantly fell.

Silver Horn had been stealing Golden Horn’s pills not for the pills themselves.

It was more like a childish rivalry, a competitive game between brother and sister.

It’s easy to imagine how devastating it was for Silver Horn to find out these pills were actually specially prepared by Golden Horn for her.

"You big dumb bull, did you know all along?"

"Why didn’t you tell me? You just enjoy seeing me embarrassed, don’t you!"

Glancing at the slightly smiling Unihorned Rhinoceros, Silver Horn immediately realized.

Other than herself, everyone else knew these pills were specially prepared for her by Golden Horn.

"Hehe, it’s actually quite amusing watching you and your brother compete..."

"Besides, most of the pills you ’stole’ were fed to me, so why should I expose anything?"

Chewing on the pills repeatedly, the Unihorned Rhinoceros laughed indistinctly, showing no embarrassment.

"Too bad the Master didn’t share my leisure to let Golden Horn’s little intentions remain hidden."
