The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Seeing Bai You looking at him with strange eyes, Matthew said calmly: "Do you think there is anything wrong with me letting that spirit race person go?"

"The spirit race is vindictive, I can totally believe that. Although I don't know much about you, I don't think you are a soft-hearted person. Besides, you didn't make a vow to the inner demon, so why would you do this?"

After taking a deep breath, Bai You still asked the doubts in his heart.

He knew that as long as he didn't tell anyone the method to leave the tiankeng, he would be safe for the time being.

He really couldn't agree with Matthew's approach.

Given the character of the elves, as long as the green gas leaves this place, they will immediately take revenge.

This is very disadvantageous to their next actions.

If it were him, he would never let the green gas leave.

After Bai You finished speaking, Matthew did not answer him, but instead stretched out three fingers.

"Three...two...one..."

Matthew muttered softly.

When the last word came out, a scream was immediately heard outside the cave.

When Bai You heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he immediately understood.

"I am a man of my words. I said I would not attack him here, and I definitely won't do it. As for leaving here, that's another matter." Matthew said with a chuckle.

"Okay, time is running out. I'll help you get rid of the poison first, and then go to that place."

Seeing that Bai You wanted to say something, Matthew immediately interrupted him.

When Bai You heard that Matthew wanted to detoxify him, he immediately suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The so-called detoxification actually means that Matthew uses the energy of hundreds of poisons to devour the poison in Bai You's body.

Matthew didn't know the origin of the poison that the elves gave Bai You.

However, this poison is not strong.

Although it took a lot of time to devour the poisonous energy, it did not cause any harm to Bai You.

After several hours, all the poison in Bai You's body was devoured by the poisonous energy.

When the poisonous aura left, Bai You exhaled heavily without Matthew saying anything.

He looked relieved.

"No wonder I always felt stagnant during my cultivation over the years. It turns out that I was poisoned and didn't know it. Fortunately, I met my fellow Taoist. Otherwise, even if I could leave the tiankeng, I probably wouldn't know about it until I died."

After Bai You finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Matthew.

"Even if you hadn't met me, you would have discovered this in no time. This poison needs to be ingested continuously for a long time. After accumulating to a certain level, the toxicity will completely erupt. The time should be the time you agreed to leave with the elves." Matthew said calmly.

"Let's go to that secret passage." Bai You said with a chuckle.

Ever since Matthew told him that he was poisoned, Bai You felt as if something was blocked in his heart.

Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When Bai You was about to leave, he saw Matthew suddenly release balls of purple flames flying upwards.

When the purple flames touched the hanging bodies of the monks, they immediately began to burn.

Soon, all the corpses above turned into pools of powder and scattered downwards.

"Do you think someone like me would do such a thing?" After walking out of the cave, Matthew saw the confusion on Bai You's face and spoke.

"Not really. For cultivators, the pursuit of immortality is like rowing against the current. The longer the time of cultivation, the weaker the cultivator's character becomes. It is common for them to fight each other for treasures. Even brothers can turn against each other for treasures. And this is the first time I have seen someone do something like you, fellow Daoist." Bai You looked at Matthew and spoke softly.

"I'm not a good person either, and I don't have any other intentions for doing this. My fellow cultivators have a longer lifespan and stronger abilities than ordinary people, but there are only a few who can truly reach the illusory realm of immortals. Most people die before their lifespan runs out, and basically nothing is left of their bodies. I just hope that if I die one day, someone will find me and bury my body."

Matthew's words were not entirely meant for Bai You to hear.

Xingyan and Yueru had also asked him similar questions before.

He didn't answer any of them.

After listening to Matthew's words, Bai You looked thoughtful.

Matthew didn't say anything else and let Bai You take him to the secret passage.

They are still in an invisible state and can walk around in there with a swagger.

In fact, Matthew was also a little confused.

This tiankeng has been controlled by the elves for so many years, how could there be a secret passage that even the elves don't know about?

While walking, he still asked the doubts in his heart.

"In fact, that secret passage was not opened by me. It was left by the monks who were abducted by the spirits. I learned this from seeing some words left at the bottom of the pool."

Bai You gently explained Matthew's doubts.

"I am just one of them. There were many monks who did the same thing as me before. So, I believe the information they left behind." Bai You continued.
