The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Sure enough, after Matthew took out the map, the old man in white immediately reached out and pointed at a location on the map.

Suddenly, a white light appeared at the location that was clicked.

"This item is made of special materials, and a restriction can be stored inside it. As long as the young master approaches this location, the map will immediately emit light."

“However, what I knew about the Tongtian Divine Pupil was a long time ago. As for whether it is still in there now, I don’t know.”

The old man in white explained to Matthew softly.

Like Matthew, he also said the ugly words in advance.

"Everything depends on fate. If we can find her, that would be great. If we can't find her, that's her own fate." Matthew said softly after putting away the map.

After chatting for a few more words, Matthew left with the old man in white.

Next, he will do his own thing.

As the old man in white entered another building, he took out a booklet and handed it to Matthew.

Although he promised Matthew that he would give him some guidance, he also needed Matthew to comprehend the secret technique thoroughly before he could give him any guidance.

Otherwise, Matthew wouldn't understand what he said.

Matthew naturally understood this principle.

I took the booklet and began to read it carefully.

Matthew has also been exposed to a lot of esoteric arts, and he has more or less some understanding of them.

Although each secret technique is different, his ability to understand is different now. Even if it is a secret technique with high difficulty, he will have no problem understanding it.

After reading it for more than ten days, Matthew had completely comprehended the entire book.

The old man in white sat nearby and watched Matthew.

He was also a little surprised when Matthew returned the booklet to him.

Then he began to ask Matthew about some key points of the secret techniques.

Matthew was able to say most of them smoothly.

Only a small part was different from what he understood.

Matthew also frankly admitted that there was a deviation in his understanding.

However, the old man in white still admired Matthew greatly.

"Young master is worthy of being the old master's disciple. Everyone in our clan has practiced this secret technique. It takes at least two months to fully comprehend it, but the young master took much less time than them." The old man in white praised after checking Matthew's results.

"I was just lucky. This secret technique is similar to some that I have seen before. I tried to understand it according to the methods of those secret techniques, but there were still a few mistakes." Facing the praise from the old man in white, Matthew shook his head modestly.

"That is also your ability. Next, I will tell you all my thoughts and feelings about the secret arts. The secret arts are dead, but people are alive. You don't have to follow my method completely. Just use it as a reference."

After the old man in white said this, he began to tell the story.

This lecture will take another half a month.

The old man in white spoke very seriously, and Matthew listened very seriously as well.

Sometimes, when talking about something that was different from his own understanding, Matthew would take the initiative to interrupt the old man in white and ask him to explain what he didn’t understand.

After getting the explanation, Matthew immediately combined his own guesses and reorganized the practice method.

The reason why he was so concerned about this was because this secret technique could control the male Jade Golden Roaring Peng.

As long as he learned the secret technique, he would have an extra spirit beast in the God Transformation Stage.

No one would miss such a temptation.

This was also the main reason why he agreed to the conditions offered by the old man in white.

As for unlocking the stone tablet, he didn't care at all.

Time passed little by little.

Including the time that has passed before, more than five months have passed since Matthew started practicing that secret art.

And at this moment, he had finally mastered the secret technique of controlling the Jade Golden Roaring Peng.

This speed is a little earlier than expected.

But not too much in advance.

The main reason is that Matthew attaches great importance to this secret art.

When practicing, I often stop to look for areas for improvement.

He would even pull the old man in white aside to discuss his ideas.

The old man in white has been practicing this secret technique for who knows how many years.

His understanding of the secret arts can be said to be thorough.

At the beginning, the old man in white could easily answer the questions raised by Matthew, and he could also point out the mistakes in Matthew's ideas.

But as Matthew's understanding of the esoteric arts deepened, the questions he asked became more and more difficult.

Later, although the old man in white was still able to answer Matthew's questions, he was no longer as relaxed as at the beginning.

Sometimes, he also needs to think carefully before answering.

Later on, it was no longer just Matthew who asked questions, but the two of them started discussing.

Discussion only occurs when two people are at a similar level of cognition.

Otherwise, it would be one-sided preaching.

The old man in white originally thought that this was a simple task, but later he began to become serious.

After discussing with Matthew, he also discovered some problems with the secret technique.

Those questions had seemed completely reasonable to him before.

After discussion, the old man found that some parts of it were indeed not very reasonable.

Especially after the two of them discussed it, the revised question was more suitable than the original one.

This is what the skills and secret techniques are all about.

No secret technique is perfect when it is first created.

It is only after generations of people have constantly pondered and sorted it out, identified problems, and solved them that it is gradually improved.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the secret technique the old man in white gave Matthew.

Rather, they had only practiced the secret arts unilaterally before, and did not indulge in speculation like Matthew did, so they rarely discovered some problems in the secret arts.

Of course, the problems raised by Matthew were just minor ones and it was impossible for them to become serious problems.

Otherwise, the people of the Mangcang tribe would not have been able to practice this secret technique all the time.

After spending some time with Matthew, the old man in white's impression of him has changed greatly.

Originally, although he called Matthew "Young Master", he looked down on Matthew in his heart.

After all, the gap in their cultivation is there.

Even Matthew himself was well aware of this.

The reason why he treated Matthew so politely was only because of the existence of the old master.

Especially since he knew that the old master was still in the human world and could still control Dengtian Ling Island.

But now, the old man in white's attitude towards Matthew is completely different.

He already treated Matthew as a monk of the same rank.

Some things even began to be discussed with Matthew.

During this period, Matthew also made several transactions with the old man in white.

Those transactions were not conducted with Purple Spirit Jade, but with the secret techniques left by Matthew himself.

These deals were not proposed by Matthew, but were proactively proposed by the old man in white.

Matthew agreed to these deals very readily.

He also got a lot of things from the old man in white.

In particular, the things he wanted were extremely difficult to find in the human world.

Both sides gained something.
