The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Matthew stepped out of the cage, his clothes fluttering and his expression calm.

The Palace Master stood with his hands behind his back, his white robe fluttering in the wind, his aura as deep as the ocean.

"It's time to remove that mark." The Palace Master said calmly.

Matthew sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

The Palace Master waved his sleeves, and rays of spiritual light slowly flowed into Matthew's body.

At first, Matthew only felt that the breath in his body was normal, and the spiritual light seemed to disappear into the sea, with no reaction at all.

But as time went by, he gradually became aware of something strange - those seemingly soft spiritual lights were quietly disintegrating certain constraints.

"Ok?"

Matthew's eyebrows moved slightly, and a wisp of black air suddenly floated out from his eyebrows, twisting and struggling in the air, and finally turned into nothingness.

"Wukun..." A cold light flashed in Matthew's eyes.

This mark was hidden so deeply that if the Palace Master had not intervened, even he himself would have been unable to detect it.

Such scheming and trickery are truly shocking.

"Everything that needs to be done has been done." The Palace Master exhaled a breath of turbid air. "The next thing to do before leaving the human world is up to you."

"Thank you." Matthew stood up and bowed. He flipped his right hand and a purple light condensed out of thin air, covering the palace master.

As the purple light flickered, the Palace Master’s silhouette gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a streak of light and sank into the purple cauldron.

After the palace master disappeared, Matthew suddenly remembered something and immediately took out a piece of bone from his storage bag.

The bone was pitch black, with its surface engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a faint glow.

"Palace Master, please give this item to Heihun." Matthew transmitted the message.

However, this time, there was no response from the purple tripod.

Matthew put away the bone fragment thoughtfully, and suddenly noticed the subtle changes in the laws of heaven and earth.

This change was not obvious. It was neither an increase nor a decrease in the law. Instead, it was like a layer of gauze being slowly peeled off from the human world.

"Finally..." Matthew whispered to himself with a deep look in his eyes.

The conditions for leaving the human world are ripe, but the road ahead still requires careful preparation.

After a moment, the cage disintegrated and disappeared on its own.

Shi Potian and the other two appeared out of nowhere, looking respectful.

"Next, we have to prepare to leave the human world." Matthew looked around at the three people, "You go back to the Azure Dragon Bracelet first to continue refining the opportunity. This departure is very serious, and we must be fully prepared."

The three of them agreed in unison and were then put into the Qinglong Bracelet by Matthew.

Three years passed in a flash.

On this day, Matthew was sitting in the cave with everyone standing in front of him.

Familiar faces such as Xingyan and Yueru were all there, but the most eye-catching one was Huang Chao who was standing at the last position.

Huang Chao is now in the late Nascent Soul stage. The dusky aura that originally enveloped his body has mostly dissipated, and there is a faint force of wind and thunder in his every move.

"Huang Chao's progress is gratifying." Matthew nodded slightly.

In the past three years, he not only granted Huang Chao many opportunities, but also provided a large number of rare elixirs.

Under such favorable conditions, Huang Chao successfully broke through the bottleneck and made rapid progress in his cultivation.

"Huang Chao will never forget the master's kindness in cultivating me." Huang Chao bowed, his eyes full of gratitude.

Matthew waved his hand and said, "The others should go and look for things that can resist the spatial turbulence. Most of these treasures are treasures of each sect. They should not be taken by force unless it is absolutely necessary. Barter is the best option."

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Over the past three years, they have followed Matthew throughout the human world and discovered countless hidden treasures.

Nowadays, everyone is wealthy and naturally understands that this departure from the human world is of great importance and that they must be fully prepared.

After everyone left, Matthew deliberately left Huang Chao behind: "I have prepared many elixirs in the secret room. If you want to leave the human world, you must reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage. I can help you survive the thunder tribulation, but you still need to work hard to improve your cultivation."

Huang Chao took the order seriously, turned around and went into the secret room to practice in seclusion.

Matthew waved his sleeves, and the entire cave was suddenly covered by layers of restrictions, turning into a solid fortress.

In the secret room, Huang Chao sat cross-legged with a colorful elixir placed in front of him.

He took a deep breath and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

In an instant, a powerful medicinal power exploded in his body. He hurriedly practiced his skills, guiding the medicinal power to attack the shackles of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Outside the cave, Matthew stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, gazing into the sky.

The changes in the laws of the human world are becoming more and more obvious, and the opportunity to leave has appeared.

But the final preparations still need time - finding space nodes, refining protective magic weapons, and arranging for everyone to improve their cultivation...

"There is one last step..." A hint of determination flashed in Matthew's eyes.

After saying this, Matthew disappeared from the spot in a flash.

When he appeared again, he came to the cave of Mr. Qinglian again.

This time, when Matthew arrived, he saw Master Qinglian and Wu Yanshuang sitting outside the cave.

When Matthew appeared silently, the two of them reacted immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglian, you used a secret technique to call me over earlier. Is there something you want to discuss?" Matthew came over, nodded, and then asked.

A few days ago, Mr. Qinglian sent him a message through the blue lotus saying that he had something to discuss with Matthew, so Matthew came here on his own initiative.

Although I had promised Master Qinglian that I would take her with me when I left the human world, it was still a bit early now.

"I plan to go and refine a magic weapon with a few old friends, which will take a long time. Shuang'er has just recovered and is still very weak. I am really worried about leaving her here alone. So, I would like to ask you to keep Shuang'er by your side for a while and take care of her, so that I can be completely at ease to do my own thing." Mr. Qinglian said to Matthew with an apologetic look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Matthew turned around and glanced at Wu Yanshuang who was standing next to him.

Although several years have passed, Wu Yanshuang's complexion is still very bad, which shows that his recovery is not very good.

When Matthew thought that it was because he asked Wu Kun for help that this happened to Wu Yanshuang, he still felt a little sorry.

After thinking for a while, Matthew nodded and said, "Okay, just go and get busy, I'll take care of Fairy Wu."

Seeing that Matthew agreed so readily this time, Mr. Qinglian had no need to use the prepared speech.

"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist. You can keep her with you. She won't cause any trouble." Master Qinglian said softly.

After saying this, he gave Wu Yanshuang a few more instructions and flew away. It seemed that he was really anxious to refine that treasure.

"Fairy Wu, I'm going to go somewhere next, so you can come with me." After Master Qinglian left, Matthew looked at Wu Yanshuang calmly and said.

"Okay, I've been here for a long time and I want to go out and see the outside world." Wu Yanshuang said with a chuckle.

Although it was a very ordinary sentence, her beautiful face plus a hint of morbidity gave people a feeling of pity.

Matthew's heart moved slightly, and he rolled up his sleeves and flew away with Wu Yan.
