The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Tang Wenguang said this, but in his heart he was very satisfied with the puppet that Matthew took out.

However, he must seek greater benefits for the Jinqiao Sect.

This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, where can you find a monk with so many puppets?

"I do have some puppets on me, but I need to first see what the real secret technique that fellow Taoist mentioned is." Matthew said with a chuckle.

"Okay, fellow Daoist, please follow me. The secret technique is not with me, but in the treasure house. However, let me make it clear in advance that the secret technique is one of the greatest secrets of our sect. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to practice. Since the establishment of our sect, only a handful of people have been able to practice it successfully. I, Tang, do not have that ability. Although I have seen it many times, I have not even mastered the basics." Tang Wenguang looked at Matthew and said.

Tang Wenguang's words also aroused Matthew's interest.

Dang even nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the two of them walked towards the secret room that Tang Wenguang mentioned.

A moment later, Matthew arrived in the secret room.

This secret room was a little different from what he had imagined.

Very big, and very empty.

There was only a stone tablet standing in the huge secret room.

The stone tablet is not big, only reaching Matthew's chest.

Half of the stone tablet was covered by a ball of spiritual light, and the contents inside could not be seen.

Matthew was not surprised at all.

Since Tang Wenguang dared to bring him in so easily, he must have known that Matthew could not fully understand the secret technique.

Not only that, even part of the contents of the two jade slips were covered by restrictions.

This is the default rule and no one would be stupid enough to break it.

Basically, those kinds of restrictions are self-destructive restrictions. As long as you use your spiritual sense to forcefully detect the restrictions, they will immediately self-destruct.

Tang Wenguang stood by and let Matthew read the contents on the front of the stone tablet.

Matthew looked at it very seriously, but his eyes were filled with confusion.

He couldn't understand what was on the front of the stele.

It’s as if the above content was randomly pieced together and it’s impossible to even read it.

Tang Wenguang stood nearby and watched.

He knew that Matthew would definitely have this expression after seeing the stone tablet.

Not only Matthew, but everyone else felt the same way when they saw the stone tablet.

Matthew watched for several hours.

During this time, his body did not move.

Just stand there.

His eyes never left the stone tablet.

Tang Wenguang did not urge him. When he was looking at the stone tablet, he stood there for nearly a month before finally giving up.

Matthew: This time is too short.

Tang Wenguang also hoped that Matthew could stay for a while longer, preferably for a year or two in the Jinqiao Sect.

In this way, if there is another army of monsters attacking this place, Tang Wenguang can ask Matthew to take action.

Matthew didn't know what Tang Wenguang was thinking.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He was indeed reading the contents of the stone tablet, and had begun to gain some understanding.

However, he had never come across this kind of secret technique of controlling puppets, and he couldn't understand many things.

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed.

Matthew was still standing there, and Tang Wenguang had already taken out a chair and sat next to him.

The two of them didn't say a word the whole time.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, it does take a lot of time to understand this secret technique. Let's talk about the transaction first." One day, Matthew sighed lightly, turned around and looked at Tang Wenguang and said.

"Let's make it clear in advance. After the transaction, regardless of whether you can understand it or not, you cannot take this stone tablet away, nor can you use any tools to record the contents on it. In addition, I need you to swear by your inner demon that you will not teach the secrets of this sect to anyone, not even your disciples."

"If our sect had not encountered an unprecedented crisis, I would not have allowed outsiders to come here. By doing this, I have violated the ancestral teachings. I hope you can forgive me."

After Tang Wenguang heard this, he stood up from his chair and said with a serious expression.

He had already thought of these words and was just waiting for Matthew to speak.

He knew Matthew would be interested in the occult.

What we've been waiting for is now.

"There is no problem with this. After all, it is your clan's secret technique. I can agree to it."

Matthew thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Tang Wenguang had to be cautious. If Tang Wenguang did not say anything, he would have become suspicious.

Now that Matthew agreed, the next thing will be easy.

After some bargaining between the two parties, the transaction was successfully completed.

Tang Wenguang agreed to open the restriction behind the stone tablet so that Matthew could see the complete contents.

It was also agreed that Matthew could stay here and continue to comprehend the stone tablet. Matthew could arrange his own time and leave at any time.

Of course, he also requested that Matthew choose to stay here.

So if the demon army invades, Matthew must help.

However, Matthew did not fully agree to this request. He only said that if the Jinqiao Sect was breached while he was in it, he would take action.

The rest of the time, he won't take action.

Moreover, Matthew's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for Tang Wenguang to negotiate.

After trying several times, I saw that Matthew didn't back down at all.

Tang Wenguang had no choice but to agree to this.

Although the ending was different from what he had originally expected, at least he got a statement from Matthew.

In addition, Matthew not only handed over the previous batch of puppets to Tang Wenguang.

In addition, Matthew also gave Tang Wenguang 10,000 of the treeman puppets that he had been longing for.

Most of them are low-level puppets in the Qi Refining Stage and tree people in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Matthew originally had no intention of taking out those Jindan-stage sword-carrying treemen. After all, the storage bag he had given was already full of these puppets.

But Tang Wenguang insisted on carrying the sword and killing people, and Matthew insisted several times.

The negotiations almost broke down, but Tang Wenguang still refused to give in.

In the end, Matthew had no choice but to agree to give it to a small number of the sword-carrying tree people.

Only after he agreed was the transaction between the two parties officially completed.

"Fellow Daoist Ma, if you successfully comprehend this secret technique, don't leave in a hurry." After collecting a large number of tree man puppets, Tang Wenguang seemed to remember something and said to Matthew in a mysterious tone.

"What do you mean, fellow Taoist?" Matthew asked doubtfully.

He didn't think that Tang Wenguang wanted to trap him in Jinqiao Sect, but he hadn't figured out why Tang Wenguang said that.

"Our sect has a batch of puppets left by our ancestors, which are sealed up. They can only be activated using the secret technique on the stone tablet. If you learn the secret technique, we can then discuss a deal." Tang Wenguang said after chuckling a few times.

After saying this, he didn't say anything else. He just bowed to Matthew and left.

He also had to distribute the puppets to prepare for what might happen next.
