The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

"Wukun, is there any danger inside?" When Matthew found that his consciousness could not pass through the wooden door, he immediately sent a message to Wukun and asked.

"It's okay, let's go in." Wu Kun said with an indifferent attitude.

After a slight hesitation, Matthew couldn't help but be curious and walked into the wooden door.

The moment you enter, the wooden door is closed together with the store door outside.

Under his feet was a wooden staircase, with the old man in front.

The old man walked very slowly, and Matthew followed silently.

There are only a hundred steps, but it takes a full cup of tea.

Below is a cellar with many clay pots.

There was a smell of wine here, and Matthew thought that the pots in these pots must be full of wine.

For those who like to drink, it may be attractive.

But Matthew didn't drink, and he didn't know anything about alcohol, so he didn't react at all.

In the corner of the cellar, there was a dark object covered with a piece of black cloth.

This black cloth can also isolate spiritual consciousness, making it impossible for Matthew to see clearly what is inside.

After the old man reached out and pulled off the black cloth, a humanoid object wearing rusty armor appeared in front of him.

"This is this?" Matthew asked in confusion as this was the first time he saw such a thing.

"This is a puppet."

"puppet."

The old man and Wu Kun answered almost at the same time.

Matthew frowned when he heard this. He had heard of puppets, but the book said that puppetry had become extinct long ago.

"This puppet was refined by the little old man after collecting materials for nearly a hundred years. The two magic weapons that the guest selected previously are the weapons of this puppet, so I say that we are destined." The old man caressed the puppet lovingly. The rusty armor on his body said softly.

"What does this puppet do?" Matthew asked softly.

This time, the old man did not answer directly. Instead, he took out a medium-grade spiritual stone and put it into the puppet's body. The puppet, which had been standing motionless, suddenly came to life.

"Do you want to try it?" the old man asked extremely confidently.

"Okay." Matthew nodded and agreed.

He was also full of interest in this puppet.

As soon as he finished speaking, the puppet rushed forward and headed straight for Matthew.

His speed was no less than that of him using the Wind Step.

Arriving in front of Matthew, the puppet punched directly towards the chest.

Matthew also fought back with fists.

After the two fists collided, Matthew took four or five steps back, while the puppet only took two or three steps and stopped.

Shaking his numb fist, this time Matthew rushed towards the puppet before it could attack.

Because it was just a test, Matthew didn't use any spells, he simply used his fists to test it.

Facing Matthew's intensive attacks, the puppet defended easily, and even found time to fight back a few times.

When Matthew stopped, the puppet returned to its original position under the control of the old man.

"How do you feel, fellow Taoist? This is only part of the puppet's power. If combined with a magic weapon, this puppet can exert its strength close to the late stage of foundation building." Looking at Matthew's slightly heaving chest, the old man was extremely proud. smiled.

"Not bad, really good." Matthew nodded sincerely.

"Since you are interested, sir, can we sit down and have a chat?" the old man said with a smile.

After the two of them randomly found a jar and sat on it, Matthew directly asked: "I'm also a straight-tempered person. Just tell the store what you want."

"The older you get, the more you fear death. The little old man wants to ask the guest officer for a piece of grass." The old man was not polite and directly stated his request.

Matthew, who originally had a faint smile on his face, suddenly darkened after hearing the words Jiazicao, and his eyes towards the old man became a little cold.

"Haha, sir, you don't have to be like this. Originally, I didn't know you had armor on your body. This little guy told me." Seeing that Matthew's face turned ugly, the old man continued without any panic.

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, and a slender, rat-like monster with yellow hair all over its body appeared on his shoulder.

"Spirit Rat..." After seeing this monster, Matthew also showed a clear look.

Now, he finally understood. He must have smelled a breath of the monster when he opened the storage bag.

The spirit-detecting rat is only one of the lowest-level monsters. It has no other abilities, except that its nose is very sensitive.

In particular, the trained rats can specifically search for treasures buried deep underground.

"Based on just one monster, can you be sure that there must be armor on my body?" Matthew asked, licking his lips.

"OK." The old man nodded confidently.

This time, Matthew chuckled and took out a jade bottle directly from the storage bag.

After opening it, a gray pill appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Jiazi Dan!"

After seeing the elixir appear, the old man stood up suddenly and stared at the elixir in Matthew's hand.

"I don't have Jiazicao, but I do have one Jiazidan." Matthew said with a slight smile.

When he took out the Jiazi Dan, he could clearly feel that the old man's breathing became rapid, which showed how attractive the Jiazi Dan was to him.
