The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

"Wukun, is there any danger inside?" When Matthew found that his consciousness could not pass through the wooden door, he immediately sent a voice message to Wu Kun.

"It's okay, go in." Wu Kun didn't care.

After a slight hesitation, Matthew couldn't help but be curious and walked into the wooden door.

The moment he entered, the wooden door and the store door outside were closed together.

There was a wooden staircase under his feet, and the old man was in front.

The old man walked very slowly, and Matthew followed silently behind him.

There were only a hundred steps on the staircase, but it took a full cup of tea to walk.

Below was a cellar with many pottery jars.

There was a smell of wine here, and Matthew thought that these pottery jars should be filled with wine.

For people who like to drink, it may be attractive.

But Matthew doesn't drink, and he knows nothing about wine, so he didn't react at all.

In the corner of the cellar, there was a black thing covered with a black cloth.

This black cloth can also block the consciousness, so that Matthew cannot see the things inside.

After the old man stretched out his hand and pulled off the black cloth, a humanoid object wearing rusty armor appeared in front of him.

"What is this?" Matthew was seeing this kind of thing for the first time, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"This is a puppet."

"Puppet."

The old man and Wu Kun answered almost at the same time.

Matthew frowned when he heard this. He had heard of puppets, but the book said that puppetry had long been extinct.

"This puppet was made after I collected materials for nearly a hundred years. The two magic tools that the guest selected before were the weapons of this puppet, so I said we are predestined." The old man stroked the rusty armor on the puppet lovingly and said softly.

"What is the function of this puppet?" Matthew asked softly.

This time, the old man did not answer directly, but took out a medium-grade spirit stone and put it into the puppet's body. The puppet that was originally standing still suddenly came to life.

"Do you want to try it?" The old man asked with great confidence.

"Okay." Matthew nodded and agreed.

He was also full of interest in this puppet.

As soon as the words fell, the puppet rushed forward and headed straight for Matthew.

Its speed was no less than that of him who performed the Wind Step.

When it came to Matthew, the puppet punched directly at his chest.

And Matthew also fought back with his fist.

After the two fists collided, Matthew retreated four or five steps, while the puppet only retreated two or three steps and stopped.

Shaking his numb fist, this time without waiting for the puppet to attack, Matthew had already rushed towards it.

Because it was just a test, Matthew did not use any spells, just simply used his fists to test it.

Facing Matthew's intensive attacks, the puppet defended very easily, and even found time to fight back a few times.

When Matthew stopped, the puppet returned to its original position under the control of the old man.

"How do you feel, fellow Daoist? This is only part of the puppet's power. If it is combined with a magic weapon, this puppet can exert a strength close to the late stage of foundation building." Looking at Matthew's slightly rising and falling chest, the old man smiled with great pride.

"Not bad, really good." Matthew nodded sincerely.

"Since the guest is interested, can we sit down and talk?" The old man said with a smile.

After the two of them found a jar and sat on it, Matthew asked directly: "I am also a straightforward person, the store owner, just tell me what you want."

"The older I get, the more I fear death. I want to ask you for a Jiazi grass." The old man was not polite and directly stated his request.

Matthew, who originally had a faint smile on his face, suddenly sank after hearing the three words Jiazi grass, and his eyes looking at the old man became a little cold.

"Haha, sir, you don't have to be like this. I didn't know you had Jiazi grass on you. It was this little guy who told me." Seeing Matthew's face turn ugly, the old man continued to speak without panic.

After speaking, he shook his sleeves, and a slender monster with yellow hair all over his body, similar to a mouse, appeared on his shoulder.

"Spirit-detecting rat..." After seeing this monster, Matthew also showed a look of understanding.

Now, he understood that it must be that when he opened the storage bag, the monster smelled a trace of breath.

The spirit-detecting rat is only one of the lowest-level monsters. It has no other abilities, but its nose is very sensitive.

Especially after training, the spirit-detecting rat can specifically look for natural treasures buried deep underground.

"Can you be sure that I must have Jiazi grass on me just by relying on a monster?" Matthew licked his lips and asked.

"Sure." The old man nodded confidently.

This time, Matthew chuckled and took out a jade bottle directly from the storage bag.

After opening it, a gray pill appeared in his palm.

"Jia Zi Dan!"

After seeing the pill appear, the old man stood up and stared at the pill in Matthew's hand.

"I don't have Jia Zi grass, but I do have a Jia Zi Dan." Matthew said with a smile.

When he took out the Jia Zi Dan, he could clearly feel that the old man's breathing became rapid, which shows how much the Jia Zi Dan attracted him.
