The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Seeing Shi Tong showing a respectful look, the old man in white nodded with satisfaction.

"I called you here not only to let you recognize the young master, but also to notify you to open the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion." The old man in white said in a softer tone.

"As ordered!"

This time, Shi Tong agreed immediately without any hesitation.

After saying this, Shi Tong bowed respectfully to Matthew and the old man in white and left.

"Young master, although I am the clan leader, my power is not as great as you think. Mangcang Treasure Pavilion is the biggest secret of our clan. If you want to open it, you must get the decision of several elders. Only Shi Tong can see those elders. Even I can't see them on weekdays." After Shi Tong left, the old man in white said with a wry smile.

"Is this also the rule left by our Master?" Matthew asked casually.

The old man also specifically requested to call him "Master".

Only in this way can Matthew take over the Mangcang tribe legitimately.

Moreover, only the master-disciple relationship is the most reasonable.

If we use other excuses, it will inevitably cause more trouble.

However, the old man did not tell him at that time that he would need the consent of the elders to enter the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion.

"Not really, the old master did not leave such a rule at that time. This is a rule that was derived from who knows when. Over time, all the people in this clan have acquiesced to this rule. And now everyone thinks that this is the most reasonable." The old man in white shook his head and said.

After hearing the old man's words, Matthew just nodded and didn't continue to dwell on the matter.

Since it has been tacitly accepted for so many years, how could he break the inherent rules of the Mangcang tribe immediately when he first arrived? Obviously, that was not realistic.

Even though he is now the young master of the Mangcang tribe, that is not recognized by everyone.

"Master only asked me to come here to take over the Mangcang tribe, and didn't tell me much about things here. When I was traveling around, I also heard some things about Dengtian Lingdao. Now I have nothing to do anyway, why not tell me about this." Matthew said with an interested look on his face.

Although he is now the young master, he still wants to know what is going on in Dengtianling Island.

After all, this problem has been weighing on his mind for a long time.

Now that I have this rare opportunity, I naturally have to ask for clarification.

"No problem. Dengtian Spiritual Island was indeed founded by the old master, and the Mangcang Clan was placed on the island at the beginning. At first, Dengtian Spiritual Island was used to collect various spiritual objects from heaven and earth for the old master."

"However, the old master suddenly changed Dengtianling Island for some reason. He kept the island hidden and issued an order not to let us interfere in the affairs of the human world."

"Originally, we were following the old master's orders. However, as time went by, the old master did not show up for a long time. This caused problems with some of the restrictions that he had left behind. Those restrictions were extremely complex, and we still have no ability to repair them."

"When the restrictions go wrong, the island of Dengtianling will occasionally suddenly appear in the human world. This is also the origin of those legends."

The old man in white spoke at a steady pace, and even paused at this point to allow Matthew to understand what he was saying.

After seeing Matthew nod, the old man in white continued, "At first, when the human world suddenly appeared on Dengtian Lingdao, we were also very scared."

“But later, when some monks accidentally landed on the island, we also learned about many things that happened in the human world from those monks.”

"Young Master may not know how attractive it is for those of us who have been cut off from the outside world for many years to know something about what happened in the human world."

"Especially some of the younger generations in the clan have long been curious about the human world. But we can't leave Dengtian Lingdao too far, so we can only learn about the human world through those cultivators."

"In return, we will also give some monks rewards. After they leave, we will spread the news of ascending to Tianling Island as agreed, so that more monks will go to the island and tell us more about the human world."

When he heard this, Matthew suddenly laughed.

His laughter was somewhat inexplicable, leaving the old man in white somewhat puzzled.

"You probably just want to know about things in the human world. Your real purpose is to know whether Master is still alive." Matthew said to the old man in white with a sneer on his face.

Under normal circumstances, Matthew might have said this in a more subtle way.

But this time, he said it directly without any concealment.

Hearing Matthew's straightforward words, the old man in white inadvertently revealed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"We did want to find out about the old master, after all, he disappeared for too long. But we really didn't think that the old master would die. He tore the world soul apart with his own hands and saved our clan from the world soul."

"If it weren't for the old master, our Mangcang tribe would have been extinct long ago. How could we have survived until now?"

After the embarrassment on his face disappeared, the old man in white said to Matthew with a serious expression.

This time, he looked serious and truly loyal.

Of course, Matthew couldn't completely believe this, but he also knew that he had to quit while he was ahead.

"I misunderstood you. It turns out that those legends are both true and false. But why do I see in many books that it is more difficult to reach the Dengtian Lingdao than to ascend to heaven? Some monks cannot reach the island in their entire lives." Matthew chuckled and continued to ask.

Hearing this, the old man in white sighed and said, "People are the most greedy in this world, especially after getting benefits, they will want more benefits."

"Young Master, do you feel that such a large Dengtian Spiritual Island is rarely seen by the tribesmen there?"

Although the old man in white hadn't finished speaking, Matthew could see something wrong from the expression on his face. He nodded and said, "Indeed, I have only seen you and Shi Tong so far."

"Since you live a peaceful life here, even though it is difficult to achieve complete prosperity, there should be quite a few of you."

After Matthew said this, a look of loneliness appeared on the face of the old man in white.

He nodded slightly, but did not immediately answer Matthew's question.

Instead, he raised his hand and a curtain of light appeared in front of Matthew.

Inside the light curtain is a scene of a room, but the contents inside are a bit weird.

Even Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly when he looked at it.
