The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

"It's quite capable, I remember this!" the ape said with a chuckle, obviously relieved.

When he spoke, he looked at Matthew with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Matthew smiled bitterly and said nothing.

He knew that the Calming Mantra only temporarily stabilized the shadow, and was not a long-term solution.

"I can only stabilize the shadow temporarily." Matthew said softly.

"I know, this little time is enough." The ape nodded.

After saying that, its body became full of gray light.

After these gray awns appeared, they quickly gathered together.

"I'm giving you a fortune, it's up to you whether you can bear it or not!"

After the ape laughed loudly, his fingers turned gray.

After flashing for a few times, these gray lights turned into long silk threads.

When one end of all the threads penetrated into the shadow, under the control of the ape, the other ends of the threads all rushed towards Matthew.

Without any accident, all these thin threads were inserted into Matthew's body.

In an instant, a large amount of energy poured into Matthew's body.

A look of pain immediately appeared on his face.

No matter how fast the Taoji rotates, it cannot refine so much energy at the same time.

But just when Matthew was worried about whether his body would be exploded by the energy, the stick inserted into the foundation suddenly lit up with a trace of golden light.

When the golden light appeared, the energy in Matthew's body seemed to find an outlet and rushed towards the stick.

The stick also accepts all comers and absorbs all the incoming energy.

Seeing Matthew standing there safe and sound, with no change on his face, the ape's eyes lit up.

Immediately, more gray threads appeared.

"Good boy, what exactly have you put in your body?" Seeing that so much energy had entered Matthew's body without any change, the ape's face became even more joyful and he laughed.

"Stop talking, it hurts me so much!" Matthew grinned and shouted.

Although the energy was absorbed by Daoji and the stick, the energy poured into his body so violently that his body was experiencing severe pain all the time.

The ape just smiled at this.

The shadow above his head has already shrunk by nearly half, and it only takes a little more time to completely lift the seal.

"Boy, what's your name?" the ape suddenly asked.

"Matthew..."

Matthew didn't know why the ape was still in the mood to ask this at this time, but he didn't think about hiding the other person's name, so he directly said his real name.

"You came to Sunset Palace for that piece of spiritual treasure?" Ape asked again.

"That thing is not something I can hope for. I'm here to find the Mending Pill." Matthew shook his head.

He also understood that the reason why the ape told him this was most likely to distract him.

"It's good to have self-knowledge."

After the ape finished speaking, he flicked his fingers, and a gray light shot into Matthew's eyebrows.

He didn't feel any discomfort after the gray light entered his brain.

After the gray light dispersed, a giant map appeared in his mind.

"This is..." Matthew was slightly startled.

"The map of the Sunset Palace, the inner hall, and the outer hall are all in every location. The gold dot represents your location, and the red dot means the treasure is still there." Ape said calmly.

Although he had already guessed that it was the map of Sunset Palace, Matthew was still overjoyed after receiving the ape's affirmative answer.

"Why isn't the place where we are now marked?" After Matthew looked at the map in his mind, he couldn't find the ape's golden dot.

"The place we are in belongs to the independent space of Sunset Palace and cannot be shown on the map." Ape explained.

"After the seal is lifted, you can return to your body, right?" Matthew blinked a few times and asked after seeing the ice behind the ape melting little by little.

"It's not that simple. The Jade Toad Soul Sealing Seal is an extremely powerful sealing technique. You should have already guessed that I am just a ray of residual soul." The ape seemed to know what Matthew was worried about and said with a slight smile.

"Yes, it's a bit of a guess." Matthew said matter-of-factly.

"My main soul is still sealed. After the seal of the remnant soul is lifted, it will take me an unknown number of years to lift the seal of the main soul." Ape said calmly.

While the two sides were talking, the shadow of the giant toad above the ape's head shrank a little.

As for Matthew, after absorbing so much energy, the shadow above his head did not change much, but became slightly more solid.

Next, nothing unexpected happened.

After the phantom of the giant toad on the ape's body dissipated, he saw it heaving a sigh of relief.

When the ape stood up from the ground, all the hair on its body fell off.

"It's finally solved." The ape exhaled a breath of turbid air and chuckled.

"Matthew, thank you for your help this time. I promised you before that I will give you another benefit after the matter is completed." The ape looked up and stared at Matthew and said.

Now, it was Matthew's turn to be nervous.

But after the ape finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the ice behind him.

At this time, there is only a thin layer of ice left.

When the ape's palm pressed on it, the ice shattered.

When all the ice fell, Matthew saw a giant ape with gray hair lying there.

However, from his perspective, he could only see the head and part of the giant ape's body, but could not see the whole thing clearly, so he did not know how big the ape was.

The ape jumped to the giant ape's neck, reached out and plucked out a gray hair.

In a flash, the ape appeared in front of Matthew again.

Spreading his palms, the gray hair appeared in front of Matthew.

Looking at the hair that was still emitting gray light, Matthew didn't know what the other person meant by this move.

"This is my body's natural hair. After using this thing, I can unleash the full force of the mid-Nascent Soul stage to save your life." As he said this, the gray hair fell on Matthew's palm.

Before Matthew could tighten his grip, the hair disappeared.

Matthew's gaze was focused, and after turning his eyes, he found the gray hair on his head.

"Thank you, senior!" Matthew bowed and thanked.

This object is much more valuable than most treasures.

"It's fate that you and I can meet again. No need to thank you." Ape said with a wave of his hand.

"Senior, your body..."

When Matthew looked up, he saw that the ape's body had become a little unreal, as if it was about to collapse.

"It's okay, it's just that this remnant soul will soon enter the body. Since you want to get the Sky-Building Pill, I will send you there."

After the ape smiled slightly, he waved his arm, and Matthew disappeared with a flash of gray light.

"Don't you hate people who practice Jade Toad Kung Fu the most? Why are you so polite to this person?" After Matthew left, a heavy voice sounded in the space.

The direction from which the sound came was the ape's body.

"This kid has that thing inside his body, do you think I dare to do it?" The ape said in a deep voice, the smile disappearing from his face.

"That thing was taken away by this kid?" The main body asked with some doubts.

"Yes, it's inside its body." The ape nodded.

"You have left a mark in his body, right?" the main body continued.

"That's right, as long as you escape from here, you can easily find him no matter which interface he is in." The ape chuckled and said confidently.

After saying that, the ape's body swayed and appeared on its body.

I saw a flash of gray light on its body and then disappeared.
