The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

When the hourglass reached the bottom and Matthew was sent out of the mysterious space, he still felt unsatisfied.

"If only I could get more fragments, I could stay in there longer." Matthew licked his lips and said to himself.

Turning his head to look at the hourglass in the room, Matthew shook his head.

His hourglass was a seven-day counting method. From entering the mysterious space to coming out, there were still five days left in the hourglass.

In other words, only two days had passed outside after he entered the mysterious space.

According to the speed of time passing in the mysterious space, it was equivalent to Matthew staying in it for 240 hours.

But Matthew was still not satisfied with this, he wanted to stay longer.

When Matthew sighed, the array disc in his storage bag suddenly made a buzzing sound.

After a slight pause, Matthew took out the array disc and checked it.

After thinking about it, he realized that it was because someone broke into the psychedelic array.

After releasing his spiritual consciousness, Matthew saw Li Mu wandering around in the room.

"This magic array is not strong. Why is Li Mu running around like a headless fly?" Matthew said to himself in some confusion.

In order to try the effect of the magic array, Matthew did not remove the magic array immediately, but sat here and watched Li Mu's actions.

However, what disappointed Matthew was that.

It took less than an incense stick of time for Li Mu to walk out of the magic array and come to him.

"Brother, when did you set up a set of arrays? I almost couldn't get out just now." Seeing Matthew holding the array plate and looking at him, Li Mu said with a wry smile.

"I just exchanged it with contribution points. I haven't figured out this thing yet. You came in just after I set it up." Matthew chuckled.

"Brother, you don't know that those arrays that can be exchanged with contribution points are not good things. The truly powerful arrays are in the hands of those array masters, and it is also very troublesome to set them up." Li Mu did not doubt Matthew's explanation at all.

"I see. I just changed the magic array for fun on a whim." Ma Xiu nodded and said.

After that, he put the array plate aside and gestured to Li Mu to sit down.

"Brother, the current situation is not good." Li Mu said with a worried look after sitting down.

"What do you mean?"

Ma Xiu knew that Li Mu must have something to say to him.

"The news about the tight battle on the front line has spread throughout the sect in the past few days. According to the information I have found out. At present, more than 8,000 people have been arranged to go to the mine battlefield." When Li Mu mentioned the mine battlefield, he suddenly paused and looked up at Ma Xiu.

Seeing the anxiety in Li Mu's expression, Ma Xiu suddenly thought of what Liu Kang had said to him that year.

"Among these 8,000 people, there won't be many casual cultivators from Wangxian City." Ma Xiu asked after exhaling a breath of turbid air.

"Yes, it seems that Senior Brother has already noticed something. In addition to the newly joined independent cultivators, the rest of the 8,000 people are old people who have been in the sect for more than ten years, or even decades. These people, without exception, are all poorly qualified and their cultivation has stagnated for many years." Li Mu said with a worried look on his face.

"It seems that Qingyu Valley has already planned to use us as cannon fodder. Senior Brother, I have heard that someone has begun to organize independent cultivators from Wangxian City. Should we also participate in it?" Seeing that Matthew did not reply, Li Mu continued to ask.

"Organizing independent cultivators, are they planning to defect from Qingyu Valley?" Matthew frowned slightly when he heard it.

Defecting from the sect is a serious crime. Once caught, it is not just as simple as abolishing your cultivation.

There will also be extremely severe torture, which is simply a matter of life and death.

"It is definitely impossible to defect from the sect. No one can bear the consequences. I heard that they meant to unite. If the sect really uses us as cannon fodder, we can take care of each other." Li Mu was obviously very excited about this matter.

"Who is the organizer? Even you know about this. Will the sect let it go?" Matthew asked after thinking for a while.

"I don't know who the organizer is yet, but what senior brother said makes sense. It is indeed unreasonable to put such a thing in the open." After being asked by Matthew, Li Mu immediately sobered up a little and scratched his head and said.

"We will see about this later. Our task is to make pills in the back. It may not be our turn to charge into battle." Matthew shook his head and said.

He was not very interested in this so-called organization of independent cultivators. Even if the sect really used him as cannon fodder, he would definitely not sit and wait for death.

Between one person acting and a group of people acting, Matthew still preferred the former.

Afterwards, Li Mu reported all the news he had found out in the past few days to Matthew.

After he handed the spirit stones to Matthew, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "There is something I forgot to say. Three days later, there will be an exchange fair in Qingfengjian. It will be held by a sect. Brother, are you interested in participating?"

"An exchange fair held by a sect?" It was the first time that Matthew heard of a sect holding such a thing.

"Every time before the sect competition, the sect will hold an exchange fair. This time it coincides with the mine battlefield. I heard that the sect also took out a lot of good things." Li Mu nodded and said.

"Of course I have to go and see. How long will the exchange fair last?" Matthew asked.

While talking, his hands did not stop. He took out a cloth bag and handed it to Li Mu.

This contained the dividends promised to Li Mu, and Matthew always delivered it on the spot.

"There are seven days. Come and call me senior brother then." Li Mu said with a smile after taking the spiritual stone cloth bag handed over by Matthew.

After sending Li Mu away, Matthew sat there and thought for a while before taking out the small tripod.

After pouring some spiritual stones into the small tripod and letting the gas mass absorb enough spiritual power, Matthew took out the box containing the waste pills of Condensing Qi.

Whether he really went to the mine battlefield to support alchemy or simply served as cannon fodder, Matthew could only take one step at a time.

All he could do now was to try his best to improve his cultivation and enhance his self-protection.

While the small tripod was purifying the waste pills, Matthew was not idle either. He took out the recipe of Condensing Qi and began to analyze and ponder.

He had never refined the Condensing Qi, and Zhu Que had never taught him.

It was not convenient for him to enter the alchemy room for the time being, so he could only deduce the process of alchemy in his mind.

This was what he learned from Zhu Que. The more precious the pill, the harder it was to find the spiritual medicine.

Therefore, a true master of alchemy will perform countless deductions after obtaining the recipe.

Although Matthew has some talent in alchemy, he still has a long way to go to become a true master of alchemy.

Ever since Zhu Que taught him this method, Matthew has always regarded it as a secret to improve his alchemy skills.
