The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

Putting away the small tripod, Matthew turned his head and looked at the purple-striped worm.

After continuous swallowing, all the phantoms here have disappeared.

The purple-striped worm that swallowed a large number of phantoms was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

Matthew noticed that as the purple-striped worm breathed in and out, the purple stripes on its body would also flash.

Putting the still sleeping purple-striped worm into the spirit beast bag, Matthew left the stone cave.

After coming out, he greeted Li Mu and the two left again.

The abyss is indeed full of dangers. Every time Matthew and Li Mu passed a place, they would encounter attacks from such monsters or ghosts.

The so-called ghosts are the nearly transparent phantoms in the cave before.

In comparison, monsters are easier to deal with, after all, they all have flesh.

But those ghosts are illusory bodies. Except for fire and lightning spells that are effective against them, other means are almost useless.

But although ghosts are troublesome to deal with, their strength is not strong. Although they are a little annoying, they can't hurt the two.

"Brother, when I came in, I heard that the ghosts here are very troublesome, but the ones we encountered are very weak." After getting rid of an invading ghost, Li Mu took a breath and said.

"Yes, I heard about this too. Maybe we are lucky and didn't encounter powerful ghosts." While Li Mu was talking, Matthew also killed a ghost with a fireball.

Matthew now regrets a little. If he had known that ghosts were afraid of fire and lightning spells, he would have practiced some spells in this area.

Especially lightning spells, Matthew has never obtained powerful spells, so he has never practiced.

He is a rare eight-spiritual root qualification, and can practice spells of any attribute. This is also one of his few advantages.

After the two finished talking, they continued to use their means to deal with the ghosts gathering from all directions.

In fact, if the purple stripe worm had not swallowed too many ghosts and was still sleeping, Matthew and his team would not have to go through so much trouble.

Matthew also tried to wake up the purple stripe worm, but did not receive any response.

"No, we seem to have entered the lair of the ghosts. If we run out of mana, we won't be able to leave." Matthew, who was constantly releasing fireballs, saw that the ghosts could not be killed at all, and turned to shout at Li Mu.

Without Matthew's words, Li Mu was already sweating profusely.

"We can't go forward here, take a detour to the left!" After Matthew finished speaking, he raised his hands and eight fireballs whizzed out.

When he put his hands together, the eight fireballs also merged with each other.

Suddenly, a fireball the size of a millstone appeared.

Matthew grabbed Li Mu and rushed to the left with the wind step.

After they left seven or eight miles away, a roar came from behind.

It was caused by the explosion of the fireball the size of a millstone.

After pulling away from them, the ghosts stopped chasing them.

"This magic weapon comes with the magical power of fire, you should sacrifice it first." After running for a while, Matthew took out a red short knife and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu didn't waste any words, took the short knife and began to sacrifice.

It took several hours for Li Mu to finish the ritual.

"Brother, I don't think you have ever cast a thunder spell." Li Mu asked after he stood up.

"Except for the most common palm thunder, I haven't obtained any thunder spells or skills." Matthew shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Li Mu was silent for a while, and suddenly unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his upper body.

Looking at Li Mu's body, Matthew frowned.

This is not human skin, it is clearly tree bark.

However, he also noticed that on a piece of normal skin that has not been eroded, there are some very small words engraved.

"I come from a family of immortal cultivators famous for alchemy. Brother should still remember this." Li Mu said softly.

"Remember." Matthew nodded.

"In fact, in addition to being an alchemist, my ancestor was also a thunder spirit cultivator. Before he passed away, his cultivation had reached the great perfection of the elixir." When talking about his ancestors, Li Mu's face was full of pride.

However, the arrogance on his face subsided, and he pointed to the words on his body and said, "This is the mental formula of the fragment of the Heavenly Thunder Art. The complete method has been lost. In order to protect the fragment from being stolen, it was tattooed on my body in this way."

"Since your family attaches so much importance to it, why do you want to show it to me?" Matthew asked after exhaling a breath of turbid air.

"Brother, do you think I can still preserve the fragment in my current state?" Li Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"This..." Matthew was also speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"I have no other requirements, I just hope that you can record the fragment. If you meet someone who can use thunder spirit roots reliably, pass it on. In this way, I can also give an explanation to the ancestors." Li Mu pointed to the fragment of the Heavenly Thunder Art on his body and said.

It has come to this point, and it would be hypocritical to say anything else.

Matthew took out a blank booklet and began to copy the fragment of the Heavenly Thunder Art.

While copying, Matthew was already silently comprehending in his heart.

This is not a cultivation method, but a secret technique.

To practice this secret technique, you don't need to practice the Heavenly Thunder Technique, but the only requirement is to have a thunder spirit root.

After copying, Matthew took Li Mu to continue on the road.

He has also discovered that every time Li Mu uses his magic power, the erosion speed will increase.

If Li Mu continues to take action, I am afraid that before reaching that place, Li Mu will be completely eroded.

In order to let Li Mu live longer, Matthew took the initiative to take more responsibilities.

After that, Matthew dealt with almost all the monsters he encountered alone.

Li Mu harassed them from the side, and the mana he consumed was not much.

Although they encountered constant troubles, they did not encounter too powerful monsters.

One day, the two came to the central area.

The so-called central area is actually a huge deep pit.

This pit is so big that you can't see the end at a glance, and I don't know how it was formed.

The Jiazi grass that those who enter the abyss want to pick grows in the deep pit.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Matthew staring at the deep pit, Li Mu asked curiously.

"I may have to go in there." Matthew said after exhaling a breath of turbid air.

"This is where everyone, including the three monsters, will come, even Bao Ya will come here, it's too dangerous to enter." Li Mu was obviously very dissatisfied with Matthew's plan to enter the deep pit, and his voice became a little sharp.

"I have a reason to go in. You wait for me outside. If there is any danger, I will withdraw in time." Matthew said softly with a twinkling look in his eyes.

"I'll go with you." Seeing Matthew so determined, Li Mu sighed and said.

"No need. In your current state, if you consume too much mana, you will be in danger. I have my own way to save my life. You wait for me nearby." Matthew shook his head and rejected Li Mu's kindness.
