The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

"It turns out that benefits are not so easy to get." Matthew said to himself after giving a bitter smile.

However, his expression did not change at all, and he replied: "Junior will do his best to supervise this matter."

He couldn't agree to this matter readily. He didn't even know when he would be able to achieve the spiritual transformation, so how could he agree to this matter?

"I believe you can."

When the Palace Master finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the cave.

The light appeared without warning and was so dazzling that even Matthew had to close his eyes.

After about ten breaths, the light disappeared.

When everyone opened their eyes again, they found that the palace master had disappeared.

Matthew didn't react at all.

When the light appeared, he knew that the palace master had returned to the mysterious space.

And he lay back in the coffin again.

Although the Palace Master said that with the spiritual peptide, I don’t need to stay in the coffin anymore.

However, that can only be done after absorbing and refining the spiritual peptide.

Apart from Matthew, only Xingyan and Yueru knew that the Palace Master had returned.

However, there was no way they would tell the other two about this.

"Senior still has things to do, so I'll leave first." Matthew said after everyone else recovered.

Originally, he planned to go to the territory allocated to him by Shou Weng to start his plan.

And now, because of the sudden appearance of the Palace Master.

Everything has changed.

Then Matthew would have to change his original plan.

"Mr. Shou, who is the one who truly holds power in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons now?" Xing Yan asked when Matthew was thinking about a new plan.

When Shou Weng heard this, he just glanced at Xing Yan but didn't say anything.

"They are both my people, and their words represent my opinion." Seeing that Shou Weng ignored Xing Yan, Matthew had to explain.

There's no way. If he suddenly had a master whose cultivation was not as good as his, he would definitely feel extremely aggrieved.

Matthew could understand this.

And now he also wants Shou Weng to get used to this situation as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

Shou Weng nodded after hearing this and said, "There are three demon cultivators who have reached the level of Divine Transformation in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. They are Elder Wu, whose true form is a crow. Elder Huangxu, whose true form is a yellow ape. The other one is Elder Tiemian, whose true form is an armored rhinoceros."

"In addition to the three demon cultivators who are in the open, there are three others hiding in the dark. They are me, a guy called Ghost Eye, and the catfish monster."

"That ghost eye is the most mysterious. Even I don't know what its true form is. It has existed for about the same time as I have. Although we have fought each other before, its true form has never been revealed."

"As for the catfish monster, it originally came from outside and hid among us. After a long time, it didn't want to leave and became one of us."

Matthew and the others had just learned about what Mr. Shou had said.

Even if you investigate this kind of secret matter yourself, you may not be able to understand it clearly.

It was also thanks to the fact that Shou Weng was forcibly subdued, otherwise outsiders like Matthew would not have known about it.

After Shou Weng finished speaking, seeing that Matthew and the others did not speak or ask any questions, he continued, "Currently, the three most powerful demon cultivators are in charge of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley at the same time, but they are also divided into three major divisions. They are Elder Wu's Flying Bird Division, Elder Huangxu's Tongbi Division, and Elder Tiemian's Mountain Division."

"Originally, they were unwilling to give in to each other. Later, the three of us old guys stepped in to mediate and they decided to set up the reward exchange place here. It was also because of the three of us old guys that they stopped the constant quarreling."

"Most of the things we exchanged were brought in by the three of them, but of course some of them were our own things as well."

This time, after Shou Weng finished speaking, Matthew turned around and looked in his direction.

Feeling the gaze from Matthew, Shou Weng immediately turned around, lowered his head slightly and looked at Matthew respectfully.

"Speaking of this, I remembered one thing. What do you want to do with the corpses of those monsters?" Matthew asked.

He had always wanted to know about this, but due to the difference in their identities, he did not dare to ask.

Now that Shou Weng has become his spirit beast, it is natural for him to ask about this matter first.

He didn't believe that those demon cultivators who had reached the state of being gods, including the three old guys including Shou Weng, took out so many things just to stimulate those demon kings to kill the enemy with all their strength. There must be other reasons that Matthew didn't know.

After hearing what Matthew said, Shou Weng immediately raised his head and said, "Master, the corpses of the monsters we brought back are all used to refine the Holy Water of the Soul."

"The Holy Water of the Soul... is it the kind of thing that can shorten the growth time of monsters after taking it?" Xing Yan asked with some confusion after hearing this.

She knew about this thing, but Matthew had never heard of the so-called holy water.

"I know too little. I should read more books." Matthew sighed in his heart.

I originally thought that my experience was high enough, but now it seems that I was a little arrogant.

He didn't even know what spiritual peptide and holy water were.

"If it shortens the growth time of monsters, then this Holy Water of the Soul should have great side effects." Matthew asked after thinking for a while.

"That's right, there's nothing we can do about it. After taking the Holy Water of the Soul, the demon beast's cultivation can be improved in a short period of time, which is like forcing things to grow faster. The side effect is that the Holy Water of the Soul burns the demon beast's lifespan and potential in advance. Moreover, once the Holy Water of the Soul is taken, the demon beast's body will be affected by it for the rest of its life, until its lifespan is exhausted."

"We refine the Holy Water of the Soul to resist the demon army. After all, every time the demon army invades the Ancient Source Mountains, the loss of demon beasts is very large. Even if there are more demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, they can't withstand such a torment. In addition, the training speed of demon beasts is slow. After the death of those with some strength, there will be no new strength to replenish them later."

"We also know that doing this will consume the future of the demon race, but this is also forced by the situation. If the Ten Thousand Demon Valley cannot resist the demon army, then the demon race will have no future."

After Shou Weng finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes, sacrifices must be made in order to survive.

There is nothing we can do even if it means overdrawing the future.

If we can't even protect ourselves now, how can we talk about the future?

After Shou Weng finished speaking, Matthew, Xingyan, Yueru and even Yuehu, who had been silent the whole time, all nodded in agreement.

They all knew that this was a helpless decision made after all hopeful options had been exhausted.
