The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Ai Can was very talkative. While teaching Matthew the local language and writing, he also told him some things about the wasteland in the northern region.

Matthew didn't need to ask one question at a time.

Ai Can took the initiative to tell everyone.

Matthew was also quite satisfied with this ginseng.

In order to encourage Ai Can to speak more, Matthew took out a pill and rewarded it to him.

The elixir that Matthew rewarded was of mid-grade quality, and Ai Shen was ecstatic after receiving it.

The reason why he was willing to keep Matthew and tell him so many things was simply because he wanted to get some benefits.

Now that he had gained benefits and tasted the sweetness, Ai Can worked even harder and told Matthew everything he knew.

Through Ai Can's continuous narration, Matthew also learned more about the Northern Wasteland.

Before, he only knew some things about the Northern Wasteland from a travelogue.

Ai Can is a cultivator here, so he naturally knows more, and all of them are about what is happening in the wasteland of the Northern Territory today.

While learning the local language and writing, Matthew organized and memorized what Ai Can said.

Ai Can is a bit talkative and can talk for half a day about a simple thing.

Matthew did not stop this and let Ai Can talk on.

He himself sorted out useful information from it.

Through the conversation, he also learned that there were four major sects in the Northern Territory Wasteland.

Their power is so great that they occupy almost most of the wasteland in the Northern Territory.

The four major forces are Eclipse Mountain, Xuanbing City, Demon Cave and Great Desolation Sect.

Matthew knew about the Dahuang Sect.

He had seen it before on Ghost Island in a note left by a divine cultivator named Gu Yushan.

Gu Yushan is the supreme elder of the Dahuang Sect, and he also left behind some things.

It is now in Matthew's storage bag.

The things left behind by Gu Yushan were equipped with extremely powerful restrictions. Matthew had no way to open them so he just threw them into the storage bag.

After that, I forgot about it.

After arriving at the Northern Wasteland, Matthew also tried to use the Azure Dragon Breaking Forbidden Mirror to unlock the seal on that thing, but he was unable to do so.

The place where they are now belongs to the sphere of influence of Xuanbing City.

And this village is called Beiqing Village.

Ai Can is the village chief of Beiqing Village and also the most powerful person here.

There are countless small villages like Beiqing Village in this area.

They are all under the control of Xuanbing City, and the advantage of doing so is.

If someone wants to attack them, they must first consider whether they have the ability to fight against Xuanbing City.

Of course, there is a price to pay for relying on a powerful force.

They need to pay tribute to Xuanbing City every five years in order to continue staying here.

If tribute is not paid twice in a row, the lord will be driven to the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range to fend for himself.

It's not like this has never happened.

Any village that was driven into the Tianyao Mountains never came out again.

No one knows whether it was eaten by a monster or disappeared for other reasons.

At least Ai Can doesn't know about this.

After Matthew asked Ai Can for a map of the nearby area, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

The location of Xuanbing City is exactly where the fragments are.

And there was more than one fragment there.

But there are as many as five pieces.

Matthew had also found it a little strange at first, wondering why all five fragments were in one place.

Now I know that those fragments were all in Xuanbing City.

However, Xuanbing City’s sphere of influence was so large that it directly covered all five fragments.

Those small black dots on the regional map are all small forces that are dependent on Xuanbing City.

Beiqing Village is just at the very edge of the map. If Ai Can hadn't pointed it out, Matthew wouldn't have been able to see the location of Beiqing Village.

After mastering the basic information of this place, Matthew also mentioned the skills of this place intentionally or unintentionally.

The man who brought him here was called Ali, a promising young man in Beiqing Village.

Matthew was somewhat curious about the skills that Ali had performed previously.

This kind of thing involves some secrets, and Matthew didn't have high expectations.

Even if Ai Can didn't say it, Matthew could understand it.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Ai Can took the initiative to hand him a book of martial arts, and said that Matthew could read it at will.

This surprised Matthew a little.

He didn't hesitate and just flipped through it.

The martial art that Ai Can gave him was called Blood Ox Strength, a body-building martial art.

This technique is not particularly advanced and can only be practiced to the great perfection of foundation building.

No wonder Ai Can was handed over to him so easily.

If this kind of skill is placed outside, no one will care about it.

"Do all the local monks practice similar body-building techniques?" Matthew asked casually after returning the Blood Bull Power to Ai Can.

"Not entirely, but the cultivators here often fight with monsters, and more or less they will practice a technique to enhance their physique. We are in a remote area, and our ancestors were not glorious, so they only left behind a few ordinary techniques that are all for body building, and we have been practicing these techniques." Ai Can shook his head and said softly.

After Ai Can finished speaking, Matthew did not ask any more questions about it.
