The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

"It's really not that easy to get the benefits." Matthew said to himself after a bitter smile in his heart.

However, there was no change on his face, but he replied: "Junior will do his best to supervise this matter."

He couldn't promise this matter. He didn't even know when he could break through to the spirit transformation, so how could he promise this matter.

"I believe you can do it."

When the palace master finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the cave.

This light appeared without any signs, and it was so dazzling that even Matthew had to close his eyes.

After about ten breaths, the light disappeared.

When everyone opened their eyes again, they found that the palace master had disappeared.

Matthew didn't react to this.

When the light appeared, he already knew that the palace master had returned to the mysterious space.

And he lay back in the coffin again.

Although the palace master said that he didn't need to stay in the coffin with the spiritual peptide.

However, that can only be done after absorbing and refining the spiritual peptide.

In addition to Matthew, only Xingyan and Yueru knew that the palace master had returned.

However, they would not tell the other two about this.

"Senior has something to do, so I'll leave first." After the others recovered, Matthew spoke.

Originally, he planned to go to the territory that Shou Weng had allocated to him to start his plan.

But now, because of the sudden appearance of the Palace Master.

Everything has changed.

Then Matthew has to change his original plan again.

"Shou Weng, who is the real power in Wan Yao Valley now?" Xing Yan asked when Matthew was thinking about the new plan.

Shou Weng heard this and just glanced at Xing Yan but didn't say anything.

"They are both my people, and their words represent my meaning." Seeing that Shou Weng ignored Xing Yan, Matthew had to explain.

There is no way, if he suddenly had a master whose cultivation is not as good as his, he would definitely feel very upset.

Matthew can understand this.

And now he also wants Shou Weng to get used to this situation as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

Shou Weng nodded and said, "There are three demon cultivators who have reached the state of transformation in the Wan Yao Valley. They are Elder Wu, whose original form is a crow. There is also Elder Huangxu, whose original form is a yellow ape. The other one is Elder Tiemian, whose original form is an armored rhinoceros."

"In addition to the three demon cultivators who have reached the state of transformation in the open, there are three more people hiding in the dark, namely, me, a man called Ghost Eye, and the catfish monster."

"Ghost Eye is the most mysterious. Even I don't know what its original form is. That guy has existed for about the same time as me. Although we have fought each other before, his original form has never been revealed."

"As for the catfish monster, it originally came from outside and hid among us. Later, it didn't want to leave after a long time, so it was considered one of us."

Ma Xiu and the others just learned about what Shou Weng said.

Even if you go to investigate this kind of secret, you may not be able to understand it so clearly.

It is also thanks to Shou Weng being forcibly subdued, otherwise outsiders like Ma Xiu would not know it.

After Shou Weng finished speaking, seeing that Matthew and the others did not speak and did not intend to ask, he continued: "Currently, the three most demon cultivators who have reached the state of transformation are in charge of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley at the same time, but they are also divided into three major divisions. They are Elder Wu's Bird Division, Elder Huangxu's Tongbi Division, and Elder Tiemian's Tashan Division."

"Originally, they were unwilling to submit to each other. Later, the three of us old guys stepped in to mediate and decided to set up the place for exchanging rewards here. It was also because of the three of us old guys that they stopped their constant quarrels."

"Most of the things exchanged were taken out by their three divisions, and of course some of them were our own things."

After Shou Weng finished speaking this time, Matthew turned his head to look at him.

Feeling the look Matthew was giving him, Shou Weng immediately turned around and looked at Matthew respectfully with his head slightly lowered.

"Speaking of this, I remember one thing, that is, what do you want the corpses of those monsters for?" Matthew asked.

He had always wanted to know about this, but because of the difference in their identities before, he did not dare to ask.

Now that Shou Weng has become his spirit beast, he naturally has to ask about this first.

He doesn't believe that those three old guys, including Shou Weng, took out so many things just to stimulate those demon kings to kill the enemy with all their strength. There must be other reasons that Matthew doesn't know.

After hearing what Matthew said, Shou Weng immediately raised his head and said, "Reply to the master, those monster corpses are brought back to refine the holy water of the spirit."

"The holy water of the spirit... is it the kind of thing that can shorten the growth time of the demon beast after taking it?" Xing Yan asked with some doubts after hearing this.

She knew about this thing, but Matthew had never heard of the so-called holy water of the spirit.

"I know too little, I still need to read more books." Matthew sighed in his heart.

Originally thought that his experience was high enough, but now it seems that he is still a little arrogant.

He didn't know what spiritual peptide and holy water of the spirit were.

"Shorten the growth time of the demon beast, then this holy water of the spirit should have a great side effect." Matthew asked after thinking for a while.

"That's right, there's nothing we can do about it. After taking the Holy Water of the Soul, the cultivation of the monster can be improved in a short period of time, which is equivalent to forcing the growth of seedlings. The side effect is that the Holy Water of the Soul burns the lifespan and potential of the monster in advance. Moreover, once the Holy Water of the Soul is taken, the monster's body will be affected by this substance for life until the lifespan is exhausted."

"We refine the Holy Water of the Soul to resist the demon army. After all, every time the demon army invades the Ancient Source Mountains, the loss of the monsters is very large. Even if there are more monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley, they can't stand such tossing, and the speed of the monsters' cultivation is slow. After the death of a little strength, there will be no new power to replenish it later."

"We also know that doing this is consuming the future of the monsters, but this is also forced by the situation. If the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley cannot resist the demon army, then the monsters will have no future."

After saying this, Shou Weng shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes, you have to make some sacrifices to survive.

Even if it means overdrawing the future, there is no other way.

If we can't even protect the present, how can we talk about the future?

After Shou Weng finished speaking, Matthew, Xing Yan, Yue Ru, and Yue Hu, who had been silent the whole time, all nodded in agreement.

They all knew that this was a helpless decision made after excluding all hopeful methods.
