The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

The dusk was as dark as blood, and the setting sun cast its last rays of light on the bluestone path.

Matthew stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, his black robe rustling, and his eyes swept across the rolling mountains below like lightning.

Beside him, Wu Yanshuang was wearing a plain white long dress, her black hair fluttering in the wind, and her bright eyes reflected the outline of the city looming in the distance.

"It's here." Matthew suddenly spoke, his voice as clear as a mountain spring.

A ray of golden light condensed at his fingertips, outlining a mysterious spatial pattern in mid-air.

Sometimes those lines are winding like a dragon, sometimes they are as dense as a spider web, and finally they burst out with dazzling golden light at a certain node.

Wu Yanshuang moved closer with light lotus steps, and the faint fragrance wafting from the tips of her hair made Matthew turn his head slightly.

She stared at the flickering golden light, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "This node is so weak?"

“Hmm.” Matthew retracted his fingers, frowning slightly. “The traces of the spatial storm are still fresh. If we rush in rashly, even a Divine Transformation cultivator might not be able to escape unscathed.”

He looked up at the rolling clouds in the distance, where purple-black electric snakes could be vaguely seen moving. "It will take at least another hundred years for it to remain stable."

When the two turned around and were about to leave, Wu Yanshuang suddenly called out softly.

Matthew looked back alertly, only to see her covering her red lips with her bare hands, her bright eyes flashing with a strange light.

Following her gaze, they saw a group of merchants moving slowly forward at the foot of the mountain. The escort leading them had a long sword on his waist and was looking at them with ill intent.

"Looks like we need to change our clothes." Matthew chuckled and waved his sleeves, and the two of them suddenly became ordinary.

He reached out to tidy up Wu Yanshuang's temples, his fingertips accidentally brushing against her jade-like skin, causing the girl's ears to slightly redden.

That night, Matthew took out a bronze mirror and handed it to Wu Yanshuang: "Just make a slight change, no need to go too far."

The girl in the mirror has beautiful features, but her extraordinary temperament is really eye-catching.

Wu Yanshuang understood and lightly tapped her hand. The person in the mirror immediately lost some of his celestial aura and gained some of the flavor of the mundane world.

The next morning, the two men disguised themselves as ordinary merchants and sneaked into the city.

The market was bustling with people and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another.

Matthew walked in front, stopping from time to time to check the magical herbs and medicines on the stalls.

Wu Yanshuang followed behind him, her embroidered shoes stepping lightly on the bluestone road, making crisp sounds.

"Sir, would you like to buy some rouge?" A woman in a gorgeous dress suddenly stopped the way, the rouge and powder on the tray in her hand exuding an alluring fragrance.

She stared at Wu Yanshuang with burning eyes, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Matthew frowned slightly and was about to speak, but he saw Wu Yanshuang nodded slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but we are in a hurry..."

Before she finished her words, the woman suddenly reached out to grab Wu Yanshuang's sleeve, but was pushed back several steps by an invisible force, her face showing panic.

"Hmph!" Matthew snorted coldly, and a biting chill suddenly emanated from his body.

The surrounding vendors all moved away, and the originally bustling market became quiet in an instant.

He pulled Wu Yanshuang away quickly, the woman's panicked scream still echoing in his ears.

Back at the inn where they were staying temporarily, Matthew said softly, "From today on, you should restrain your breath."

As he spoke, Matthew took out a rouge box and handed it over.

Wu Yanshuang took the rouge box, and her fingertips accidentally touched Matthew's, and both of them were stunned.

The girl's ears turned red, and she lowered her head to quickly glance at the rouge box, but she hid the strange emotion deep in her heart.

In the following decades, Matthew took Wu Yanshuang to travel all over the human world.

They once stood on the top of a towering mountain and watched the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

I have also rowed a boat on the blue waves and watched the sunset.

Sometimes it is listening to stories in a teahouse in a bustling capital, and sometimes it is bathing in a spiritual spring in a deep canyon.

These elegant things in the eyes of mortals may be insignificant in the eyes of monks, but for Matthew, they are a rare time of relaxation.

One day, the two of them transformed themselves into ordinary monks and came to a trade fair called "Wanbao Pavilion".

The pavilion was crowded with people, and there were all kinds of magic weapons and elixirs.

Matthew stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes wandering among the many stalls.

Wu Yanshuang was attracted by a emerald green jade slip and was concentrating on studying the martial arts formula recorded on it.

"My fellow Daoist, would you like to see the 'Xuanyin Pill' I have here?" A cultivator with a face full of flesh suddenly came close, with a jade bottle in his hand emitting a strange black light.

He glanced at Wu Yanshuang unscrupulously, "This pill can help Taoist couples practice dual cultivation... hehe..."

A cold light flashed in Matthew's eyes, and his fingers in his sleeves moved slightly.

The monk suddenly screamed and staggered back holding his arm. Strange black lines appeared on his arm and spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Get out!" Matthew shouted coldly. His voice was not loud but it made the man bleed from all seven orifices.

The monks around all looked at him sideways, but no one dared to step forward to ask.

After the monk fled in panic, Matthew turned to Wu Yanshuang and said, "Let's go."

Wu Yanshuang nodded in agreement.

The two of them left quietly and blended into the bustling crowd.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, Matthew took Wu Yanshuang back to his cave.

After decades of hard training, and with the large amount of training resources left to him by Matthew, Huang Chao successfully reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

Afterwards, Matthew personally taught Huang Chao for a period of time, which allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of cultivation.

Everyone else is still busy outside, and more than ten years have passed.

Huang Chao also finally began to strive for the transformation into a god.

With Matthew's help, Huang Chao's process of reaching the God Transformation stage was exceptionally smooth.

Not long after Huang Chao became a Divine Transformation cultivator, Wu Yanshuang returned from his travels and had a sudden spiritual blessing during a practice, entering a strange state of enlightenment.

Moreover, Wu Yanshuang was very lucky. When she woke up from her epiphany, she actually reached the stage where she could impact the divine transformation.

Even Matthew was surprised by this unexpected gain.

Accidents aside, since Wu Yanshuang is also able to start to reach the state of incarnation, Matthew will naturally help him to overcome the tribulation.

In this way, within a short period of time, Huang Chao and Wu Yan both successfully passed the heavenly tribulation and became divine cultivators.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the bluestone steps in front of the cave, stretching Matthew's figure to a slender figure.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe swaying gently in the breeze, and his eyes looked calmly at the mountains in the distance.

Decades of time passed in the blink of an eye, and the young cultivator who had just entered the human world has now become a powerful figure.

"Master, we are back." Shi Potian's voice came from outside the cave, accompanied by a hearty laugh.

He strode into the cave, followed by Bai Chen, Lan Yue and others.

Everyone's face was tired, but there was excitement in their eyes.

Matthew nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over them.

Over the years, he has sent people to travel all over the human world in search of treasures that can resist space turbulence.

Now it seems that the harvest has been fruitful.

"Master, look!" Shi Potian excitedly took out a jade slip that was completely emerald green from his storage bag. A strange light was flowing on it.

"This is the 'Xuanling Jade Slip' found in the dense forests of Southern Xinjiang. It is said to be able to stabilize spatial fluctuations."

Not to be outdone, Bai Chen took out a token with a metallic sheen: "This is the 'Sky Suppression Token' I found in the Northern Wasteland Ancient Battlefield. It is made of ancient divine iron and can resist the erosion of space storms."

The cave suddenly became lively.

Everyone took out the treasures they had brought back. In a moment, all kinds of rare treasures piled up on the stone table into a small mountain.

Matthew stood quietly by, his eyes sweeping over these treasures.

Each piece is of extraordinary quality, and it is obvious that everyone has put a lot of effort into it over the years.

"Brother Shi and Brother Bai brought back the most treasures." Mr. Qinglian suddenly spoke, his voice as clear and cold as spring water.

She was playing with a dark blue bead in her hand and said, "This 'Sky Bead' is said to be able to predict changes in space nodes."

Matthew took the bead and rubbed it gently between his fingertips. Immediately, a mysterious spatial pattern appeared on the surface of the bead, which was exactly the same as the node position he had deduced before.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he handed the bead back to Qinglian Lay Buddhist: "Not bad, just what I want."

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, a slight fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly came from outside the cave.

Matthew's expression changed slightly, and he turned and walked towards the cave entrance. Others also noticed something unusual, and stopped talking and followed him.

About a cup of tea later, a slender figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The man was dressed in a black robe, with a handsome face but a bit of evil. It was Su Lin who had not been seen for a long time.

"Have you thought about it?" Matthew looked at Su Lin with a faint smile on his lips.

Su Lin took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and bowed respectfully: "I have made up my mind. I am willing to continue to follow the master."

Matthew nodded with satisfaction, and a ray of light shot out and entered Su Lin's body.

The spiritual light traveled through Su Lin's meridians and finally turned into a mark that sank into his forehead.

Su Lin's whole body trembled, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, let's go." Matthew turned and walked towards the depths of the cave. "We are also preparing to leave the human world. If you come later, you won't be able to see us."

Su Lin stood up, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He followed Matthew, but his eyes involuntarily swept over the people in the cave.

Shi Potian winked at him, and Bai Chen smiled meaningfully.

Mr. Qinglian still had a stern face, but there was a subtle fluctuation in his eyes.

At this moment, spiritual power fluctuations were heard again outside the cave.

This time the atmosphere was even more eerie, with a hint of chilliness.

A short figure slowly walked into the cave.

"Ghost baby!" Shi Potian exclaimed.

The ghost baby grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Master, I'm here."

Matthew nodded: "Where's the old pervert?"

"He is willing to spend his whole life in the human world." The ghost baby's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "He said he wanted to lead the ghost tribe to regain its glory."

The cave became quiet for a moment.

Although the old pervert's choice was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

After all, the ghost clan in the human world is weak, so it is most appropriate to have him in charge.

"Now that everyone is here..." Matthew looked around at everyone, his eyes finally fell on the spatial pattern map in the center of the cave, "Everything has been prepared, and I have already determined the spatial node. Let's go, it's time to leave the human world."

Everyone suddenly became energetic.

After decades of preparation, the time has finally come to reap the rewards.

Shi Potian rubbed his hands excitedly: "Finally I can leave this crappy place!"

Bai Chen seemed much calmer: "Master, what is the specific location of the space node?"

Matthew tapped a point on the pattern map. "It's at Tianque Mountain on the coast of the East China Sea. There is a hidden valley there, which is a perfect breakthrough point."

On the coast of the East China Sea, there is the Tianque Valley.

The wind was howling and the waves were crashing against the steep cliffs.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and purple lightning flashed from time to time.

This is the spatial node selected by Matthew.

"Are you all ready?" Matthew said softly, looking at an ordinary place.

Although his face was calm, he was still a little excited in his heart. After all, he had finally reached this point after so many years of practice.

The faces of the others also showed excitement and nervousness.

"We are all ready!" everyone responded in unison.

Upon hearing this, Matthew nodded, waved his hand, and a golden light immediately shot out from his sleeve and headed straight for the place he mentioned.

"Buzz!"

With a muffled sound, ripples immediately appeared after the space node was hit by the golden light.

Immediately afterwards, a black space crack several feet in size appeared.

When the space crack appeared, a powerful suction force immediately came out from it.

Although the suction force was strong, it had no effect on the people outside.

"Let's go. I hope everything goes well for us and we can successfully reach the new world..."

As Matthew spoke, he looked up at the sky in the human world.

A purple light glowed on his body, wrapping his entire body, and he was the first to enter the space crack.

The others were all excited, and after activating their treasures, they followed Matthew into the room one after another...
