The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After leaving the Waste Alchemy Room, Matthew didn't go anywhere else and went straight back to Sunset Peak.

As soon as he returned to his residence, he saw Zhu Que standing at the door.

He was wondering why Zhu Que was here, so he quickly ran up to him, bowed and said, "I've seen Master."

"Get up. I have something to tell you when I come into the room." Zhu Que nodded slightly and said.

He secretly glanced at Zhu Que and found that the other person's expression was not good-looking. Matthew did not dare to neglect, and immediately opened the door and welcomed Zhu Que in.

After the two entered the room, Zhu Que sat on the main seat, while Matthew stood in front of him honestly.

"You have already met the ancestor before. He is one of the three great Yuanying ancestors of our sect, Master Wei. He is already seven hundred years old, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Yuanying. He is the cultivation base of our sect. The highest ancestor." Seeing Matthew standing so obediently, Zhu Que's expression softened slightly and he said.

Matthew knew that Zhu Que must have a purpose for telling him this. After nodding slightly to express his understanding, he waited for Zhu Que's next words.

"There is something I need to tell you. A spirit stone vein appeared in the north of Tianyue Kingdom. At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary spirit stone vein and didn't take it seriously. But later, someone mined a medium-sized spirit stone vein in the vein. High-grade spiritual stone, someone mined the high-grade spiritual stone not long after. You should know what the appearance of the high-grade spiritual stone means. There is no airtight wall in the world, and this matter was soon known to other forces."

Zhu Que paused and then continued: "If it was just a fight between our four major sects, there would be a result. But now, external forces also want to compete for this mineral vein, which has caused the situation to get out of control. "

Matthew had already heard people say these things Zhu Que said when he was in Wangxian City, but he was not as detailed as what Zhu Que said.

"So what's the situation now?" Matthew asked softly.

"Many battles have broken out on the front line. Our four major sects have united to fight against the outside world. However, each of the four major sects has its own thoughts and it is difficult to form a real defense against foreign enemies. Several strongholds set up have also been breached by the enemy one after another. Now we can only launch a counterattack around the mineral veins." Zhu Que sighed.

When he heard that the situation was so bad, Matthew frowned.

He originally didn't want to join the four major sects because he was afraid that he would become cannon fodder.

Since joining Qingyu Valley, Matthew has forgotten this matter.

Now that Zhu Que was talking about this, Matthew had a vague premonition.

"Since the four major sects are not united, why do they still stick to the mine?" Matthew asked in confusion.

"That's because the top-grade spiritual stone was found in the mine. Do you know what the appearance of the top-grade spiritual stone means?" Zhu Que said with a serious expression.

"I don't know." Matthew shook his head.

"Even in ancient times, top-quality spiritual stones were extremely rare items. With this thing, many powerful formations can be implemented. In addition, if any sect can possess a large number of top-quality spiritual stones, they can cultivate a batch of them in a short period of time. High-level monks. This is extremely tempting to the sects, so the four major sects are unwilling to give up the mines even if they suffer consecutive defeats." Zhu Que has stayed in Qingyu Valley his whole life, and his behavior and behavior are always in line with the sect. door consideration.

"Our sect has three Nascent Soul Ancestors, and the other three sects should also have Nascent Soul cultivators. Can't the Yuanying Ancestor's magical powers stop this battle?" Matthew took a deep breath and asked.

"Ancestor Wei told me that all the Yuanying ancestors from the four major sects came forward and fought several games with the Yuanying monks on the opposite side. The fight was evenly matched without resorting to any underhanded tactics. In the case of no results, Now, the ancestors have discussed that all Nascent Soul monks are not allowed to participate in this battle for the mineral veins." Zhu Que shook his head.

After Zhu Que finished speaking, Matthew was silent for a moment, took a breath and asked: "Master, what do you want me to do after you have said so much?"

He had already planned that if the sect really asked him to be cannon fodder, he would find an opportunity to escape.

As for revenge against Liu Xingjian, he could only postpone it. After all, saving his own life was the most important thing.

"What can you do as a little Qi refining monk? I came here to tell you that the sect has decided to let me go to the battlefield to refine elixirs for the monks on the front line." He seemed to have read Matthew's thoughts. , Zhu Que laughed.

"Then do I still want to participate in the sect competition?" Matthew asked with some confusion.

"You don't need to participate in the sect competition. The sect means to send a large number of alchemists to support the front line, so you have to go with me. Don't worry, you don't need to go to the battlefield, you just need to make alchemy at the back. Yes." After Zhu Que finished speaking, he left directly without giving Matthew any chance to refuse.

"Master, when are we going to the front line?" Matthew asked hurriedly when Zhu Que walked to the door.

"At the end of the month, the sect will arrange for us to rush to the battlefield." Zhu Que left after saying that.

After Zhu Que left, Matthew slumped on the chair like a deflated rubber ball.

After a while, he calmed down a little.

At this moment, he suddenly figured out something.

No matter what kind of talent you have, as long as you are in a large sect and have no right to speak, all you can do is obey the arrangements.

Not only him, but also Zhu Que.

Matthew could tell that his master was not very optimistic about going to the battlefield.

But what can be done? If the superiors arrange for him to go, he has to go. There is no right to refuse.

"One moment I was preparing for the sect competition, and then I turned around and rushed to the battlefield immediately. Things are really unpredictable." Matthew shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.

While he was in a daze, a series of rapid footsteps came.

Through his spiritual consciousness, Matthew knew that the person coming was none other than Li Mu.

Judging from the panic on his face, he must have received a notification from Zhu Que.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Mu entered the door, he directly asked about going to the battlefield.

Matthew did not hide anything from the other party and told him everything Zhu Que told him.

When he learned that Matthew and Zhu Que were also going to the battlefield together, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

This made Matthew a little strange, so he asked a few more questions.

Only then did we know that Zhu Que only went to the battlefield at the same time as Li Mu at the end of the month, and didn't say a word about anything else.

It was because of this that Li Mu came to Matthew in such a hurry.

"There are still about twenty days before the end of the month. Let's sell all the elixirs here and find out about the news about the frontline battlefield. Although we are refining elixirs at the back, we still need to know the true situation of the war ahead." Mr. Matthew He felt that the matter was not as simple as Zhu Que said. At least in his opinion, the reason why the Nascent Soul cultivator did not take action was definitely not because the two sides were equally powerful.

But how could he, a young Qi refining monk, guess the specific situation? He could only hope that Li Mu could find out some useful information.
