The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

An old man and a young man walked and talked, and many things happened in the city every day.

Matthew stayed in the store all day and was isolated from the news. Most of the things that happened in the city were learned from the old man.

"Some time ago, someone accidentally bumped into a cultivator and died soon after returning home. Some people speculated that it was the cultivator who did it, but no one dared to say it." The old man muttered.

"Don't such things happen often? Why are you so sad?" Matthew asked in a strange way.

"That person has some relationship with me, so I suddenly felt emotional. When people get old, they think about more things." The old man turned his head and looked at Matthew and said.

"By the way, Grandpa Zheng, I have saved enough ten spirit stones, and I plan to test my spirit roots in a while." Matthew whispered in the old man's ear.

The ten spirit stones were saved by him over the years of frugality. On weekdays, mortals like them received silver for work, and only by doing things that are valuable to cultivators can they get spirit stones.

Matthew was also very excited when he heard that he could get five spiritual stones by picking the sky blue flower this time.

"Your ancestors did have immortal cultivators, although the next few generations did not have spiritual roots. You can try it. If you really have the opportunity, you can get a book of exercises and try to practice." The old man nodded and said.

The exercises the old man mentioned are not rare in Wangxian City. They can be bought everywhere and only require a few spiritual stones.

What is really expensive is the cost of testing spiritual roots. It is unknown how long it will take for ordinary people to save ten spiritual stones. Only Matthew has some special skills to have the opportunity to save them.

"Boy, I did a big business a few days ago. When you come back from Dawang Mountain, I will accompany you to test your spiritual roots." The old man suddenly pulled Matthew's ear and said mysteriously.

"Okay!"

When Matthew heard that the old man actually opened a business, he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart and nodded and agreed immediately.

It was already dark when the two arrived at their residence. After sending the old man to the house, Matthew also returned to his own home.

This house was left by his parents. It was not big. In addition to a small courtyard, there were only two rooms inside.

Matthew went to the kitchen and made some food casually and fell asleep on the bed. Going to Dawang Mountain tomorrow would definitely be very difficult, and he needed to get enough rest.

The next day, just after dawn, Matthew took the mountaineering tools and went out.

Thinking of saying hello to the old man before going out, he knocked on the old man's door, but did not hear any response from inside.

"The old man went out so early, it seems that I got up too late." Seeing that there was no response to the knock on the door, Matthew muttered and left.

Dawang Mountain is located on the left side of Tongtian Peak. The mountain is less than half the height of Tongtian Peak. In addition to Dawang Mountain, there is another mountain with a similar height, called Xiaowang Mountain.

Everyone who has lived in Wangxian City knows that only immortals can go deep into Tongtian Peak, and there is basically no possibility for mortals to come back after entering.

Even if immortals go in, not many can come out safely.

There are many rumors about Tongtian Peak. In addition to the most common rumors that there are real immortals living on the top of the mountain, there are also monsters that eat people in the mountain.

Matthew has never thought about going to Tongtian Peak. He only goes to Dawang Mountain and Xiaowang Mountain at most.

When he arrived at the foot of Dawang Mountain, it was already three hours later. The continuous rush and the tools on his back made Matthew very tired.

After finding some wild fruits nearby to fill his stomach, Matthew started to walk up the mountain.

The road ahead is easy to walk. It has been walked countless times by people and has formed a rough mountain road.

After reaching the end of the mountain road, Matthew identified the direction and plunged into the bushes next to it.

The location mentioned by Manager Chen is very remote, and the next road will depend on Matthew to explore step by step.

Fortunately, the wild animals in Dawang Mountain had been cleared countless times, so it was difficult to encounter a ferocious wild animal.

Although wild animals were not easy to encounter, the tall trees and thorns full of thorns made Matthew miserable.

His clothes were already tattered not long after entering the mountain, and his body was covered with scars.

After Matthew passed through the place full of thorns, he found a place to sit down and gasped.

"If I had known it was so difficult to walk, I would not have chosen this shortcut. Although it shortened the time by a few hours, it was not worth it." Matthew pulled out the thorns on his body and muttered.

When he was a child, he heard the old man say that if people want to choose a shortcut, they will pay the corresponding price.

It has been four or five hours since he set out early in the morning, but Matthew has not yet reached the place he wants to go.

"It seems that I have to spend the night in the mountains tonight. I should have brought some warm things." Looking at the gradually yellowing sky, Matthew got up and stretched his body and said.

Matthew, who had not eaten much for a day, felt a slight burning sensation in his abdomen at this moment. He had no choice but to look for wild fruits to fill his stomach.

While looking for wild fruits, he walked towards the place he was going to.

When he came to the edge of the cliff, the moon in the sky had already come out.

Matthew, who planned to spend the night in the mountains, was looking for a place to stay temporarily along the way.

When he came to the edge of the cliff, he saw a small cave.

He came to the edge of the cave and gestured, and it was just enough to accommodate him.

There were some bird skeletons inside and beside the small cave, all of which were white, and some of them turned into powder when they were squeezed by hand. It seemed that they had been there for a long time.

Matthew found a branch and swept all the skeletons to the side. After a rough cleaning, he entered the cave.

After entering the cave, Matthew took out two fist-sized wild fruits from his torn clothes and started to eat them.

He spent a lot of effort to get these two wild fruits, and he relied on these two fruits to get through tonight.

This cave faces the cliff. While Matthew was eating wild fruits, his mind was empty and he looked at the moon in the sky.

Suddenly a mountain breeze blew, and Matthew shivered suddenly, tightened his clothes, and hurriedly swallowed the wild fruits in his hand into his stomach.

After a day of hard work, Matthew, who had slightly filled his stomach, soon became sleepy and gradually fell asleep against the stone wall.

But it was not a good night to sleep. Matthew had just fallen asleep when a humming mountain breeze woke him up.

As a last resort, Matthew could only curl up and bury his head against the stone wall.

He woke up countless times and finally fell asleep again, but Matthew was awakened by the urge to urinate.

"Are those two wild fruits so diuretic? Getting up in the middle of the night to urinate is really freezing." The temperature in the mountains was very low late at night. Matthew walked out of the cave with a swearing face.

There was no one here anyway, and he was too lazy to find a place. He just walked to a place on the edge of the cliff, unbuttoned his pants and started to urinate.

After a big pee, Matthew shook violently a few times, said he was relieved, and planned to go back to sleep.
