The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

An old man and a young man walked around talking and laughing. Many things happened in the city every day.

Matthew stayed in the store all day and had no information. He mostly learned about various things happening in the city from the old man's mouth.

"A few days ago, someone accidentally bumped into an immortal cultivator. He died soon after returning home. Some people speculated that it was the immortal cultivator who did it, but no one dared to say anything about it." The old man muttered.

"Don't things like this happen often? Why are you still so sad?" Matthew asked strangely.

"That person has something to do with me, so I just got emotional. As people get older, they have more things to think about." The old man turned to look at Matthew and said.

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

The ten spirit stones he had saved over the years were frugal and frugal. Normally, mortals like them received money from their work. Only by doing things of value to immortal cultivators could they obtain spirit stones.

Matthew was extremely excited after hearing that he could get five spiritual stones by picking azure flowers this time.

"Your ancestors did have immortal cultivators. Although the following generations do not have spiritual roots, you can try it. If you really have the chance, you can get a book of exercises and try to practice them." The old man nodded and said.

The technique the old man mentioned is not a rare thing in Wangxian City. It can be bought everywhere and only requires a few spiritual stones.

What is really expensive is the cost of testing the spiritual roots. Mortals don't know how long it will take to save ten spiritual stones. Only Matthew has some special skills to have a chance to save them.

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

"it is good!"

When he heard that the old man had opened his business, Matthew was happy for him from the bottom of his heart and nodded in agreement.

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

This house was left by his parents. It was not big, with only two rooms in it except for a small yard.

Matthew walked to the kitchen and grabbed some food, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Going to Dawang Mountain tomorrow would definitely be extremely difficult, and he needed to recuperate.

The next day, at dawn, Matthew took his climbing tools and went out.

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

"The old man went out so early. It seems I got up too late." Seeing no response from knocking on the door, Matthew muttered and left.

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

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

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

There are many rumors about Tongtian Peak. In addition to the most commonly heard rumors that real immortals live on the top of the mountain, there are also man-eating monsters in the mountain.

Matthew had never thought of going to Tongtian Peak. The most he wanted to do was go to Dawang Mountain and Xiaowang Mountain.

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

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

The road ahead is easy to walk, it has been walked countless times, and it has formed a large-scale mountain road.

After arriving at the end of the mountain road, Matthew identified the direction and plunged into the nearby trees.

The location that Shopkeeper Chen mentioned was very remote, and it was up to Matthew to explore the next step by himself.

Fortunately, the wild beasts in Dawang Mountain have been cleaned up countless times, and it is difficult to encounter a ferocious wild beast.

Although wild beasts are difficult to encounter, those tall trees and thorns covered with spikes made Matthew miserable.

His clothes were in tatters not long after entering the mountain, and his body was covered in scars.

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

"If I had known it was so difficult to walk, I wouldn't have taken this shortcut. Although it shortened a few hours, it was not cost-effective." Matthew pulled out the sharp thorns stuck in his body and muttered.

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

Four or five hours have passed since setting off early in the morning, but Matthew hasn't reached where he wants to go yet.

"It seems that we are going to spend the night in the mountains tonight. If I had known, I would have brought something warm." Looking at the gradually yellowing sky, Matthew stood up and moved around and said.

Matthew, who hadn't eaten much all day, felt a burning sensation in his abdomen. He had no choice but to look around for wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.

While looking for wild fruits, I walked towards where I wanted to go.

When he came to the edge of the cliff, the moon 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 happened to see a small hole.

He came to the edge of the small hole and made some gestures. It was just big enough for him.

There are some bones of flying birds inside and on the sides of the small hole. All of them have turned white, and some of them shatter into pieces when pinched with your hands. It seems that they have been there for a long time.

Matthew found a tree branch, swept all the bones aside, and then entered the cave after a rough sweep.

After getting into the hole, Matthew took out two fist-sized wild fruits from his ragged clothes and gnawed them.

He had spent a lot of effort to get these two wild fruits, and he relied on these two fruits to survive the night.

This cave faces the cliff. While eating wild fruits, Matthew looked at the moon in the sky with his head empty.

Suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew, and Matthew shivered suddenly. He tightened his clothes and hurriedly swallowed the wild fruit in his hands into his stomach.

After a tiring day and a slightly full stomach, Matthew soon became sleepy and leaned against the stone wall and gradually fell asleep.

But it was not a good night's sleep. Just as Matthew fell asleep, a whistling mountain wind woke him up.

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

I woke up countless times and finally fell asleep again, but Matthew woke up because he had to urinate.

"Are those two wild fruits such a diuretic? It would really freeze you to death if you urinate at night in the middle of the night." The temperature in the mountains was very low late at night, and Matthew cursed and huddled up and walked out of the cave.

Anyway, there was no one here, and he didn't bother to look for a place. He just walked to a place on the edge of the cliff, unbuttoned his pants and started peeing.

After a big pee, Matthew shook violently a few times, said something comfortable, and then planned to go back to sleep.
