The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Putting away the small cauldron, Matthew turned to look at the purple-striped insect.

After constant devouring, all the shadows here have disappeared.

The purple-striped insect that had devoured a large number of phantoms lay on the ground and slept soundly.

Matthew noticed that as the purple-striped insect breathed and breathed, the purple stripes on its body would flash.

After putting the sleeping purple-striped insect into the spirit beast bag, Matthew left the cave.

After coming out, they greeted Li Mu and the two left again.

As expected, there are dangers everywhere in the abyss. Matthew and Li Mu will be attacked by such monsters or ghosts every time they pass by.

The so-called ghosts are the nearly transparent shadows in the cave previously.

In comparison, monsters are easier to deal with. After all, they all have physical bodies.

But those ghosts are illusory bodies, and except for fire and lightning spells that are effective against them, other methods are almost useless.

But although the ghosts are troublesome to deal with, they are not very strong. Although they are a bit annoying, they cannot hurt the two of them.

"Brother, when I came in, I heard that the ghosts here were very troublesome, but the ones we encountered were very weak." After getting rid of an intruding ghost, Li Mu took a breath and said.

"Yes, I've heard about this too. Maybe we were lucky and didn't encounter a powerful ghost." While Li Mu was talking, Matthew also used a fireball to kill a ghost.

Matthew felt a little regretful now. He had known that ghosts were afraid of fire and lightning spells, so he would have practiced some spells in this area.

Especially the thunder and lightning spell, Matthew has never obtained a powerful spell, so he has never practiced it.

He has the rare qualification of eight spiritual roots, and he can practice all spells of any attribute. This is one of his few advantages.

After the two of them finished speaking, they continued to use their methods to deal with the ghosts gathering from all directions.

In fact, if the purple-striped insects hadn't devoured so many ghosts and were still sleeping soundly, Matthew and the others wouldn't have needed to go to such trouble.

Matthew also tried to wake up the purple-striped insects, but did not receive any response.

"No, we seem to have entered the ghost's lair. We won't be able to leave after our mana is exhausted." Matthew, who kept releasing fireballs, saw that he couldn't kill all the ghosts, so he turned and shouted to Li Mu.

Needless to say, Li Mu was already sweating from exhaustion.

"We can't move forward here, take a detour to the left!" After Matthew finished speaking, he raised his hands and eight fireballs roared out.

When his hands merged, the eight fireballs merged with each other.

Suddenly, a fireball the size of a millstone appeared.

Matthew grabbed Li Mu and used the Wind Step to rush to the left.

After they were seven or eight miles away, a roar came from behind.

It was the explosion of the fireball as big as a millstone.

After opening some distance, the ghost stopped chasing me.

"This magic weapon comes with the magical power of fire. You need to practice it first." After running for a while, Matthew took out a red short knife and handed it to Li Mu and said.

Li Mu didn't waste any time, took the short sword and started to practice it.

It took several hours for Li Mu to finish refining the magic weapon.

"Senior brother, it seems to me that you have never cast thunder spells." Li Mu asked after standing up.

"Except for the most common palm thunder, I didn't get any thunder-attribute spells or techniques." Matthew shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Li Mu was silent for a moment, then suddenly unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his upper body.

Looking at Li Mu's body, Matthew frowned.

This is not human skin, it is clearly tree bark.

However, he also noticed that there were some very small words carved on a piece of normal skin that had not been eroded.

"I come from a cultivating family famous for alchemy. Senior brother should still remember this," Li Mu said softly.

"Remember." Matthew nodded.

"Actually, in addition to being an alchemy master, my ancestor was also a Leilinggen monk. Before his incarnation, his cultivation had reached the Perfection of Alchemy." When talking about his ancestor, Li Mu couldn't hide the look of pride on his face.

However, the arrogance on his face immediately subsided, and he pointed at the words on his body and said: "This is the mental formula of the fragment of Tianlei Jue. The complete technique has been lost. In order to protect this fragment from being snatched by others, It was tattooed on my body in this way only after leaving."

"Since your family attaches so much importance to it, why do you want to show it to me?" Matthew asked after taking a breath.

"Senior brother, do you think I can preserve this fragment in my current state?" Li Mu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"This..." Matthew was also speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"I don't have any other requests. I just hope that senior brother can record the fragments. If I meet someone who can use the thunder spirit root reliably, I can pass it on. In this way, I can give an explanation to my ancestors." Li Mu pointed. The remaining part of the Heavenly Thunder Jue on his body said.

Having said this, it would be hypocritical to talk about other things.

Matthew took out a blank book and began to copy the remaining chapters of Tian Lei Jue.

While copying, Matthew was already silently comprehending it.

This is not a practice technique, but a secret technique.

If you want to practice this secret technique, you don't need to practice the Heavenly Thunder Technique, but the only requirement is to have the Thunder Spirit Root.

After copying, Matthew took Li Mu and continued on their way.

He has also discovered that every time Li Mu uses mana, the erosion will speed up.

If Li Mu had been allowed to take action, Li Mu would have been completely eroded before he even got there.

In order to let Li Mu live longer, Matthew took the initiative to take on more responsibilities.

Almost all the monsters he encountered after that were dealt with by Matthew alone.

Li Mu was harassing him nearby, and he didn't consume much mana.

Although they encountered constant troubles, they did not encounter too powerful monsters.

On this day, the two came to the central area.

The so-called central area is actually a huge pit.

This pit is so big that you can't see the end of it at a glance, and I don't know how it was formed.

The grass that those who enter the abyss want to pick grows in the pit.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Matthew staring at the pit, Li Mu asked curiously.

"I might have to go inside." Matthew said after exhaling a breath.

"This is a place where everyone, including the three monsters, will come. Even Bao Ya will come here. It is too dangerous to enter." Li Mu was obviously very worried about Matthew's plan to enter the pit. He was dissatisfied, and his voice became a little sharp.

"I have a reason to go in. You wait for me outside. If there is any danger, I will exit in time." Matthew said softly with his eyes flashing.

"I'll go with you." Seeing Matthew being so determined, Li Mu sighed and said.

"No need, in your current state, you will be in danger if you consume too much mana. I have my own way to save my life. You wait nearby for me to come out." Matthew shook his head and rejected Li Mu's kindness.
