The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Matthew, who had no way to go for the time being, was not in a hurry to leave.

The aura of this place is quite strong, and he wants to meditate here for a while.

Although he doesn't know where he is, Liu Xingjian has been solved for him, and it will be the same wherever he practices.

After selecting several magical instruments from the storage bag, Matthew refined these instruments one by one.

Later, these magical instruments were tempered with liquefied iron essence.

After doing these things, Matthew began to swallow the Qi Condensing Pill.

Staying in the tree hole and practicing hard, Matthew gradually forgot about what he had experienced before.

Spring passed and autumn came, and before he knew it, Matthew had been here for five years.

It is common for monks to stay in seclusion for several years or even more than ten years.

Five years is neither a long time nor a short time.

Without having to worry about elixirs, his cultivation gradually improved. In five years, Matthew was promoted from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the eleventh level.

In addition to refining alchemy, during these five years, Matthew also developed the habit of reading books every day.

He has read all the books in the storage bag several times.

Especially the book of tips left by the old man surnamed He to Cui'er was read the most.

The only pity that Matthew felt was that Zhu Que and Yun Fuzi did not get the storage bags, otherwise the harvest would have been greater.

In a miscellany of the blue-robed monk, he found a thin animal skin map sandwiched inside.

The terrain drawn on that map had never been seen before, and it didn't look like where he was now.

In his spare time, Matthew would also leave the tree hole and wander around for a while.

He found that this mountain forest was very large, and there were a lot of monsters living in it.

In the past five years, Matthew has also killed many monsters.

Some of them accidentally broke into the psychedelic formation and were beheaded by him, and some were encountered by him when he was out and attacked him and were beheaded.

The past five years have been the most stable time he has ever lived since he entered the immortal world. There are no so-called tasks or other trivial chores. He lives according to his own ideas every day.

Another unexpected situation was that the purple-striped python egg he bought from the battlefield trading area was eaten by the insect after he had forgotten it in the spirit beast bag for a long time.

When Matthew thought of the purple-striped python eggs and examined them, there was only a little bit of residue left in the spirit beast bag.

Matthew didn't know the origin of the insect. After some consideration, he used the newly learned secret technique of identifying the owner and turned the insect into his own spiritual insect.

As for the eaten purple-striped python egg, he didn't care. That kind of monster didn't have much value in nurturing, so if he ate it, he would eat it.

The only thing that gives Matthew a headache is that in the past five years, he has contacted Ukun from time to time.

But he still underestimated the devil's arrogance. Not only did he not gain anything, but he was scolded several times by the other party.

"Boy, do you want to say what you said before?" Today, as soon as Matthew connected with Wu Kun, the other party immediately started mocking him.

"I don't understand something, I hope you can explain it to me." Matthew shook his head and said.

"To clear up the confusion, what can I do for you?" Wu Kun sneered.

"Don't you want to see the outside world? As long as you answer my questions, I can let you see it for a month." Matthew had long known that Wu Kun would not agree to him so easily, so he said the words he had thought of in advance. out.

"Seriously!" Sure enough, Wu Kun was immediately moved when he heard that it could last him a month.

To it, there is no difference between being locked in a purple tripod all day and being locked in a pothole.

Without asking for freedom, for a person who has been trapped for so long, it is already an extremely rare thing to be able to see the outside environment.

"Seriously." Matthew nodded.

"Ask, I can answer you as long as it doesn't involve my secrets." Wu Kun said after his voice softened a little.

"Zhu Que said earlier that I was a container used to seize the body for you. Don't you have a real body? Why do you still want to seize the body?" Matthew frowned and asked.

This question has been weighing on his mind for a long time.

"With my cultivation level, once I get out of trouble, I will definitely be suppressed by the power of the interface in this world. The reason why I was sealed here is because some things have to go down to the next world. Without the blessing of special secret methods, my body will be released immediately after I get out of trouble. Will leave this world. The original soul was a back-up to stay in this world. It's a pity that the soul that has been cultivated for so long was lost by you inexplicably." After listening to Matthew's question, Wu Kun was slightly puzzled. He said slowly after a moment of silence.

"There are so many talented people in the world, why would Zhu Que choose me?" Matthew asked, still frowning.

He has the qualification of Eight Spiritual Roots. This qualification is even rarer than the Heavenly Spiritual Root, but it is a real waste of cultivation. Zhu Que would actually choose him with such qualifications as the body-stealing container for Wu Kun's split soul. How can Matthew make this happen? I can't even figure it out.

"I'm afraid you are the only one with eight spiritual roots in the entire human world. When Zhu Que reported your qualifications to me, I asked him to keep you and bring you here. Although you have such qualifications, your cultivation speed is slow. Incomparable, but it has a miraculous effect in dealing with natural disasters." Wu Kun's words surprised Matthew.

Matthew knew that Wu Kun was definitely not done yet. Now that he had gotten what he wanted to know, he stopped asking any more questions.

"Although I promised you, I will still cut off contact while I am practicing." Matthew said after a moment of silence.

"What kind of secret can a little Qi Refining monk have and make it so mysterious?" After hearing what Matthew said, Wu Kun couldn't help but mocked again.

However, he didn't say anything against it.

After all, no matter what their cultivation level is, everyone has their own secrets.

After finishing the conversation, he came out of the tree hole.

Putting away the psychedelic array, he left the area.

After staying here for five years, just like before, the low-grade Qi Condensing Pill has lost its effect. Unable to go any further, he can only choose to leave here to find other ways to improve his cultivation.

He had already explored the nearby area and knew that there was a path leading elsewhere.

"Boy, I advise you to find a way to get rid of the strong medicinal aura from your body. Once you meet a monk with a high level of cultivation, he will be able to detect something strange about you at a glance." Matthew walked slowly along the path. As he was walking, Wu Kun's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"What kind of medicinal gas? I didn't smell it at all." Matthew stopped, put his hand to his nose and smelled it before asking.

"You have been relying on elixirs to improve your cultivation for a long time. Over time, some medicinal residues have accumulated in your body. Under normal circumstances, these medicinal residues will be slowly excreted from the body. But you took too many elixirs, which caused the medicinal residues to begin to emit medicinal gas. . People with low cultivation level will naturally not notice it, but as long as they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they can see something strange about you at a glance." This is the first time Matthew has heard what Wu Kun said, but he has never experienced it. Much doubt.

Even if the elixir is of the best quality, it will more or less leave some residue in the body after taking it.

But as for the term medicinal energy, this was the first time he heard it.
