The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Since entering the foundation building period, those basic spells in the past have become no longer so cumbersome in his eyes.

After casting all the spells he knew, Matthew found that the power of the spells became stronger after possessing lavender mana.

This has nothing to do with entering the foundation building stage, but because of mana.

When he was in Qingyu Valley, he had trained hard with Zhu Que for a period of time. Even if Zhu Que didn't suppress his cultivation at that time, the spell power he released was similar to that of Matthew in the Qi refining stage.

The only difference is that the number of spells is far from what it was during the Qi Refining Period.

Just like the fireball technique, Matthew at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining can release up to five at a time, which is already his limit.

However, Zhu Que, who is the founder of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, can release as many as a dozen at a time.

Matthew, who is only in the early stages of foundation building, can now release up to eight fireballs at a time.

Matthew knew that his every move would be monitored, but the method he practiced was like a child's sword dance to the old man, so he could not worry about it at all.

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Matthew had been practicing this for several months.

During this period, except for someone who came to him to refine a batch of elixirs, no one bothered him anymore.

Matthew, who has two curse seals, does not need to cast the seals to cast fireball and ice needle spells at all. As long as he has enough mana, he can continue to cast them.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there are no limitations.

If you want to release the ice needle technique after releasing the fireball, you must have a breath or two of time buffer.

I don’t know what kind of material the boulder is made of, but even after being attacked by Matthew for several months, it didn’t even have any damage left.

On this day, Matthew, who was practicing spells, suddenly sensed that someone was approaching him quickly.

With a flick of his fingers, eight fireballs flew behind him.

As soon as the fireball flew out, he heard the sound of whirring through the air.

When the fireball shattered, Matthew turned around and flicked his fingers.

Hundreds of slender ice needles flew out.

Approaching him was a yellow shadow.

Matthew knew that the person coming was Bao Ya.

He was also taking this opportunity to evaluate his own strength.

The ice needle was very fast and appeared in front of Bao Ya in the blink of an eye.

However, as Bao Ya shook her body and a yellow light appeared, all the ice needles were blocked.

Just when Bao Ya looked at Matthew with some pride, she found that Matthew had disappeared.

When Bao Ya was confused, a fiery red sword light appeared from the side and struck her with a sound of breaking through the air.

Bao Ya was startled, her limbs moved, and a double shadow appeared at her feet, turning into an afterimage and disappearing on the spot.

When she appeared again, she was already in front of Matthew.

A sharp claw shining with cold light clawed at Matthew's chest.

But Matthew didn't panic at all. He moved his feet together, stepped back and at the same time made a hand seal.

When Matthew avoided the sharp claws, an earthy-colored arm emerged from the ground and grabbed Bao Ya's forelimbs.

With a wave of his arm, Bao Ya was thrown out hard.

Before Bao Ya landed, another fiery red sword light struck him.

And the location is exactly where she landed.

With a cooing sound from her mouth, Bao Ya's body flashed with yellow light, and her tail lashed out like a whip.

An arc of yellow light flashed out.

After the yellow arc of light collided with the fiery red sword light, a dull explosion sounded.

"I heard from Grandpa Patriarch that you have entered the foundation building stage. I didn't expect that you would be so strong just after entering the foundation building stage." After the explosion, Bao Ya said with a smile.

Matthew made a move with his palm, and the Fierce Sun Sword suspended in the sky returned to his hand and said with a smile: "If you use all your strength, Ma will be no match for you."

Bao Ya did not use all her strength, and the same was true for Matthew.

Through this fight, Matthew had a better understanding of his own strength.

Matthew walked up to Bao Ya and said, "When did Miss Bao come back and how is her experience going?"

"I just came back today, so I came to see you right away. This experience went quite smoothly. I killed more than a dozen level two monsters alone." Bao Ya said with a chuckle.

The two of them were talking as they walked towards the alchemy room.

After arriving at the alchemy room, Bao Ya said goodbye and left.

It looked like she had other things to do.

Matthew happened to be a little tired, so he ended today's practice.

The next day, there was a knock on the door of the alchemy room.

When Matthew opened the door, he saw that the person coming was Xiong Ba.

"Master Ma, the patriarch asked me to invite you over." Xiong Ba said immediately after seeing Matthew.

The look on Xiong Ba's face seemed a little nervous.

Matthew was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement.

There was no reason for him to disagree. I'm afraid no one in the entire village would dare to refuse the person the old man wanted to see.

"Master Ma, just agree to whatever the clan leader says later. Don't ask any more questions. He is in a bad mood." Xiong Ba reminded him in a low voice on the way to the tall building.

The old man was in a bad mood, which Matthew didn't expect.

He really couldn't think of a time when a being at the pinnacle of the human world could be troubled.

However, he then thought that Wu Kun had said at that time that the old man's life was short, and it was probably because of this.

"Okay, I'll remember it." Matthew responded readily to Xiong Ba's kind reminder.

After seeing Matthew agree, Xiong Ba also had a smile on his face, and his expression was no longer as nervous as before.

When the two arrived at the tall building, it was already full of people.

Seeing the two of them arriving, the old man sitting in the middle nodded slightly to Matthew, which was considered a greeting.

"Little friend Ma, please come forward." Granny Jinhua, who was sitting next to the old man, said at this time.

When Matthew heard this, he immediately walked over without any hesitation.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Grandma Jinhua began to tell Matthew some things that he had never heard of.

It turns out that in the Guyuan Mountains, there is not one village here, but more than a dozen villages of similar size.

At this moment, Matthew realized that the village he was in was originally called Feixian Village.

No one had ever told him the name of the village before, and he never asked.

Among the dozen or so villages, the strength of Feixian Village can only be considered to be at the middle to lower level, and the most talented one among them is Bao Ya.

The Guyuan Mountains are very large, and there are natural restrictions that prevent people here from leaving the mountains, let alone seeing the outside world.

It cannot be said that it is not uncommon for people like Matthew to come here by accident, but it is also extremely rare.

Although the Guyuan Mountains are very large, there are not many places suitable for human survival.

The rest of the place was occupied by powerful monsters, even a strong man like the old man could not compete with them.

Originally there were nearly a hundred villages in the Guyuan Mountains, but many of them disappeared one after another due to various reasons, and several of the dozen or so villages that remained were on the verge of disappearing.

The living space is smaller, and more than a dozen villages need their own sphere of influence, so frictions between the villages occur every day.

In order to compete for territory, in addition to daily encounters and fights, they also have a rule for dividing their forces, which is to go into the abyss to pick something called Jiazicao. Which village picks the most Jiazicao, and the territory will be divided. The bigger.

The abyss is not a good place. There are no rules there, as long as you survive, that's the way to go.

In addition to people from other villages, there are also a large number of ghosts living in the Abyss.

In the eyes of those ghosts, the monks who came in were the best tonics.

Every time the abyss is opened, less than [-]% of the people can come out safely.

The Abyss opens every fifty years, and it only lasts for two months at a time. Once the time comes, the Abyss closes itself. If it doesn't come out, it will never come out.

In order to prevent all the younger generations in the village from perishing in the abyss, each village stipulates that only ten people are allowed to enter each time it is opened.
