The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

"The total number of cultivators in Qingyu Valley is less than 100,000. They should have sent tens of thousands of people here. Could it be that another place has fallen?" After listening to Long Aotian's story, Ma Xiu frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

"Long Aotian, I saw you running around in various tents. What are you doing?" Ma Xiu continued to ask.

"My mission is to pass on the tasks assigned by the higher-ups. I happened to meet Senior Brother Ma when I ran to the last tent." Long Aotian seemed to be unaware of the situation and continued to speak with a smile on his face.

"I just came out of the alchemy room. Can you tell me about the battle situation?" Ma Xiu asked after he stretched out his hand to signal Long Aotian to come to the side.

"The battlefield is now divided into three areas, namely the left battlefield, the right battlefield and the central battlefield. The left battlefield is where Qi-refining cultivators fight each other, and the right battlefield is all foundation-building cultivators. As for the central battlefield, I heard that only Jindan cultivators dare to go there, because the battle situation there is the most terrifying, and those with weak cultivation are dead before they get close to people." Long Aotian said quickly.

After taking a breath, Long Aotian continued, "Although the right battlefield and the central battlefield are both terrifying, there are not many casualties. Only the left battlefield is the most severe, and once they fight, it is often a fight to the death. However, during this period, many people have become famous because of this. Several people in our Qingyu Valley have become famous."

"Oh, who are they?" Matthew asked with a little curiosity.

"Su Qiao, this senior sister is not only beautiful, but also very powerful. I heard that more than a dozen people have died at her hands."

"Qin Hu, Senior Brother Qin. With the cultivation of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, he killed three opponents of the same level alone and became famous in one battle."

"And Weng Cheng'an, this person is a genius of Yuqi Peak. It is said that he took the initiative to come to the battlefield. He has several top-grade magic weapons and has killed seven or eight enemies."

Matthew's casual question completely opened Long Aotian's chatterbox, and he told Matthew everything that happened during this period.

What surprised Matthew was that Su Qiao would come here.

However, he was not familiar with this woman and had no intention of meeting her.

"I heard that Liu Xingjian also came to the battlefield. How is he?" Matthew asked casually.

"Liu Xingjian...seems to be injured, but I don't know the details." Long Aotian tilted his head and thought for a while before saying.

"Junior Brother Long, I had some conflicts with Liu Xingjian because of Senior Sister Su Qiao's matter before. Please pay more attention to this person's situation." Matthew took out a bottle of Qi Condensation Pill from the storage bag and stuffed it into Long Aotian's hand.

"Senior Brother Ma has a grudge against this person. I know about this and I will definitely keep it in mind." Holding the pill that Matthew stuffed over, Long Aotian patted his chest and said.

Long Aotian has been in Qingyu Valley for many years and has seen many fellow disciples fighting because of a woman.

Since Matthew only asked him to pay attention to Liu Xingjian and there was a pill, Long Aotian naturally agreed.

After talking to Long Aotian for a while, Matthew let him leave.

Liu Xingjian's injury is a good thing for Matthew.

"We must get rid of Liu Xingjian as soon as possible. If the four major sects can't hold on, there will be no chance." Matthew thought in his heart.

Matthew knew that it was impossible to get rid of Liu Xingjian here.

The only way was to try his luck in the left battlefield.

But he had the task of refining pills and couldn't stay in the battlefield for a long time.

What he had to do now was to collect information about Liu Xingjian first, wait for the right opportunity to venture into the battlefield, and then see if there was a chance to kill Liu Xingjian.

While Matthew was wandering around, Long Aotian ran back again.

"Brother, I just forgot to tell you. There is a sunken area near the mineral vein. There is a trading area held by the disciples of the four major sects. If you have anything to buy, you can go there to have a look." Long Aotian said panting and ran away again.

"Trading area..."

Matthew was worried that there was no place to get the spiritual medicine needed for the Condensation Pill, so he could go to the trading area to have a look.

Following the direction Long Aotian just mentioned, Matthew walked slowly.

When he was in the Qingyun Boat, he already knew that in this formation, except for those who were transmitting information, ordinary cultivators were not allowed to fly with flying tools.

Of course, this rule was useless for those Jindan cultivators who could fly in the air.

Just a moment ago, Matthew had seen several Jindan cultivators flying over his head.

Unable to fly with flying tools, Matthew could only use the Wind Control Technique to travel.

It took a while, and he had arrived at the trading area that Long Aotian mentioned.

It was very simple here, with only some simple trading platforms built randomly with stones.

There were not many people, only dozens of people standing here.

Matthew knew that no matter which sect, as long as they came here, they had a mission.

Those who could stand here to sell things were just like him, and had some free time after completing their mission.

The clothes worn by the dozens of people here were very different, some were from Qingyu Valley, and some were from the other three sects.

Matthew walked up to a man wearing Xuanwu Sect clothing and looked down at the items he was selling.

Then, he turned around and came to the Nine Star Sect disciple.

"How much is the price of a set of materials for a Qi Condensation Pill?" Matthew asked the Nine Star Sect disciple who was selling spiritual medicine.

"Is this fellow Daoist from Qingyu Valley an alchemist?" The disciple of Jiuxing Sect did not immediately quote the price, but asked with some curiosity.

"That's right." Matthew nodded in response.

If he was not an alchemist, few people would be interested in spiritual medicine, and it would be necessary to conceal his identity in such a place.

After seeing Matthew's affirmative reply, not only the disciple of Jiuxing Sect, but also the people in the seats next to him set their eyes on Matthew.

"Since the Daoist is an alchemist, how about exchanging pills. Twenty low-grade Qi Condensation Pills for a thirty-year-old Qi Condensation Pill material." The disciple of Jiuxing Sect said with a smile on his face.

"Thirty years is a bit low." Matthew had no objection to the barter, but the age of the material was really low.

"There is no way. I also know that the thirty-year-old material can only barely meet the threshold of alchemy, but the materials in my hand were all prepared before coming here. There is really no spiritual medicine of a higher age." The disciple of Jiuxing Sect shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"That means fifteen low-grade Qi-Gathering Pills in exchange for one set of materials." Matthew shook his head and said.

The spiritual medicines he had exchanged from Su Qiao before were all seventy or eighty years old. It was not clear whether these thirty-year-old ones could be used to make pills.
