The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Before he knew it, Matthew had spent three years at the ghost clan headquarters.

Apart from some conflicts at the beginning, no one bothered him anymore.

He seemed to be invisible and basically stayed in the alchemy room.

Occasionally go out to do something.

These three years were just a blink of an eye for Matthew.

Gulidong would often report things to him, and it was unclear whether it was instructed by the three patriarchs or his own decision.

Not only does Matthew need to make elixirs to exchange for merits, but Zheng Yu and the old pervert are also not idle.

Zheng Yu was assigned the task of being a sparring partner, responsible for fighting with the ghosts in order to accumulate merit.

Zheng Yu was somewhat resistant to this task at first.

However, he gradually adapted to this kind of life.

Because the people of the ghost clan don’t like to fight with others.

Therefore, his task was quite easy, as only occasionally someone would come to see him, so he could be considered to have some free time.

As the old pervert also possesses an extraordinary ability of invisibility, he often needs to go out with the ghosts to do things.

Gulidong did not elaborate on what he was going to do, and Matthew did not ask any more questions.

These were the secrets within the ghost clan, so he didn't dare to ask too much.

As for the ghost baby, there has been no news since it was taken away.

Matthew also asked several times, but Gulidong said that he didn't know the situation of the ghost baby.

Just say that the ghost baby is doing something very important.

The Third Clan Chief had promised to help find the Purple Spirit Jade and he did not lie to him.

Some were indeed found, but the quantity was too small and not enough for Matthew to use.

It is still unknown when the next Purple Spirit Wall will be opened.

One day, Matthew came out of the cave to take a breath.

He has already paid off all the merits he owed before, so now he can start accumulating merits.

At this time, Gulidong, who had been away on business, just came back.

"Master Ma, I have good news." When Gulidong saw Matthew standing outside the cave, he immediately ran over and said.

"Oh, has anyone taken up that mission?" Matthew asked with interest.

During these three years, the thing Matthew asked about most was the tasks he had issued.

"Yes, someone knows the location of the painting." Gulidong knew what Matthew was thinking about and nodded immediately.

"What does that man want? Forget it, just take me to find him first." Matthew said with a hint of joy on his face.

But Gulidong didn't react at all when he heard this. Instead, he scratched his head with a look of embarrassment and grinned at Matthew.

"Any questions?"

Matthew felt a little strange about Gulidong’s reaction, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The one who took...the one who took the task is the patriarch..." Gulidong said to Matthew with some embarrassment.

This time, even Matthew was a little surprised.

If someone else took on this task, he wouldn't think too much about it.

But now that Gulidong said that the patriarch had taken on the task, Matthew had no choice but to think about it.

"Did the patriarch say anything else after accepting the task?" Matthew asked with a slightly frowned brow.

"I didn't say anything, nor did I ask the adults to find him, nor did I say I would come to find you. I simply took the task." Gulidong shook his head and said.

Not only Matthew felt puzzled, but he also felt that this matter was not simple.

The patriarch basically would not accept any missions. This was the first time in all these years that he saw the patriarch accept a mission in the hall.

However, no one could guess what the patriarch was thinking.

"Take me to the chieftain first."

Matthew couldn't guess what the patriarch meant by this move. Instead of speculating here without any results, he might as well go over there and see what the situation was.

"it is good."

Gulidong had no objection to this.

About an hour later, Matthew, led by Gulidong, arrived outside the cave where the patriarch was.

Standing about ten feet away from the cave, Gulidong said softly to Ma Xiu: "Master Ma, I can only come here. You need to go in person to go in the next step. I will wait for you here."

"Okay, then I'll go in first."

Matthew nodded and walked forward.

The patriarch obviously knew that Matthew would definitely come, and even closed the restrictions around the cave in advance.

Even the door of the cave is open at this moment.

Matthew walked inside step by step with steady steps.

When he entered the cave, the door was closed.

The patriarch's cave was not very big. After passing through a passage, he arrived at a spacious hall.

At this moment, there was a person sitting on a chair in the hall.

The man looked to be about sixty or seventy years old. He was wearing a light grey robe, had a gloomy face and a hooked nose.

Looking at his image, he looks even more gloomy.

What surprised Matthew the most was that the patriarch was only slightly shorter than a normal human.

After Matthew arrived, the patriarch finally looked up at him.

"I originally thought you were a very powerful person, but it turns out you are just an ordinary-looking guy. Please sit down."

The patriarch looked Matthew up and down, said something with a forced smile, and pointed to a chair next to him.
