The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

But Matthew had only slept for a short while when he heard some slight noises coming from outside the tent.

Immediately, Matthew sat up.

The moment he released his spiritual sense, he saw Long Aotian's head poking into the tent.

"Brother Ma, you are really here." After seeing Matthew, Long Aotian said with a happy face.

"Come in." Matthew waved his hand and said.

After Long Aotian came in, Matthew got up and moved two chairs.

"What have you been busy with recently? Why haven't I seen you?" After Long Aotian sat down, Matthew asked softly.

"The sect hasn't sent support for a long time. The resources here are getting less and less. Several ancestors sent some people out to pick spiritual herbs, and I was sent out too." Long Aotian shook his head and said with a depressed face.

Matthew had already known what Long Aotian said, but he still pretended to hear it for the first time, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Did something happen in the sect?" Matthew asked deliberately.

"Maybe. We are too far from the sect, and we haven't heard any news for several months. No one knows the specific situation." Long Aotian was obviously worried about his future.

"If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. How did you know I was here?" Ma Xiu waved his hand and said.

"Brother, didn't you go to find Brother Liu but didn't go in? When I came back, I happened to hear the guards talking. The appearance they said was very similar to Brother Ma, so I guessed it must be you." Long Aotian smiled after calming down.

"I did go to find Brother Liu once, but unfortunately I didn't see him. I heard from Sister Su that he stole something from Master Yun. Do you know what it is?" Ma Xiu nodded.

"This matter is no longer a secret, but no one knows what Brother Liu stole. Master Yun didn't say a word, but just locked him up." Long Aotian shook his head.

Just when Matthew was about to change the subject in disappointment, Long Aotian suddenly said, "By the way, I came here this time to ask if Senior Brother has any top-grade rejuvenation pills. I have a way to see Senior Brother Liu."

"You have a way? That was an order from Grandmaster Yun." Matthew said with some surprise.

"Hehe, Senior Brother doesn't know. Although Senior Brother Liu is locked up, someone goes in every month to check on him. I've been there a few times before, and it will be time to visit again in three days. Last time I went there, I told Senior Brother Liu about the top-grade rejuvenation pills, and he also expressed his willingness to exchange spirit stones for the pills." Long Aotian said with a smile.

"How many spirit stones are he willing to spend? I won't exchange for less." Matthew was delighted when he heard this, and immediately showed a greedy look and said.

"Last time, Senior Brother Liu said he was willing to exchange five hundred spirit stones for the top-grade rejuvenation pills in Senior Brother's hand." Long Aotian stretched out five fingers and said.

Five hundred spirit stones are far more valuable than the top-grade rejuvenation pill. Although Matthew didn't come for the spirit stones, he knew that Liu Xingjian's current situation must be very bad.

"Okay, then I'll bring this pill to Brother Liu. I'll definitely reward you after I receive the spirit stones." Although he couldn't kill Liu Xingjian himself, Matthew, who had no other options, could only put all his hopes on Long Aotian.

He took out the poison pill he had prepared long ago and handed it to Long Aotian, and told him seriously that he must hand it over to Liu Xingjian in person.

"I feel bad for letting you run around all the time, Brother. These spirit stones and pills are just errand fees." Then, Matthew took out some spirit stones and a few bottles of Qi Gathering Pills and gave them to Long Aotian.

"Brother, you're really wasting money. I didn't do anything." He said politely, but his hands had already taken what Matthew handed over.

After telling Long Aotian some more things about the sect, Matthew let him leave.

After Long Aotian left, Matthew's face became a little uncertain.

He was confident that the poison pill he gave Long Aotian could definitely send Liu Xingjian to his death, but if Liu Xingjian died of poisoning, he would most likely be suspected.

And the only one who could expose him was Long Aotian.

If he wanted to escape safely afterwards, the best way was to shut him up forever immediately after Long Aotian delivered the pill.

But Matthew really couldn't bear to do something to someone he was familiar with and had a good relationship with.

However, Matthew's worries didn't last long, and Zhu Que had arrived.

"Is the battlefield fun?" Zhu Que asked deliberately with a stern face after he arrived.

"Hehe, it's a bit dangerous, so you're running back." Matthew knew that Zhu Que was deliberately showing his face to him, so he scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"He Laogui is right. You should go out and see it, so that you will know how much you are capable of." Zhu Que glanced at Matthew and said in a reprimanding tone.

Matthew knew that Zhu Que said this for his own good, so he did not refute and listened humbly.

"Since you are back, let's start our plan. Tonight, you will enter the mine alone. This is the topographic map inside." Zhu Que took out a piece of animal skin paper and handed it to Matthew.

"Master, what should I do inside?" Matthew asked in confusion.

"Don't worry, remember all the routes in the topographic map first." Zhu Que waved his hand and said.

Matthew heard this, although he was still confused, he could only follow Zhu Que's request and carefully check the topographic map.

This topographic map is not very complicated. Matthew only spent less than an incense stick of time to remember it completely.

After Matthew returned the topographic map to Zhu Que, the other party burned it in front of him.

"All our actions must not leave any traces, and everything must be remembered in our minds." Zhu Que explained casually.

"Yes, I remember it." Matthew nodded.

"You remember all the places marked with red dots on the topographic map just now." Zhu Que continued to ask.

"Yes." Matthew nodded again.

"After you enter tonight, bury a talisman in all the places marked with red dots. This is a talisman specially made by He Laogui. You keep it well." Zhu Que took out a cloth bag from the storage bag and handed it to Matthew.

After taking the cloth bag and opening it, the talisman Matthew put inside was a little different from what he usually saw.

The talisman paper was all khaki, the cinnabar on it was a little dark, and the runes were also never seen before.

Matthew didn't ask about the function of the talisman, and directly put the cloth bag away.

"Try to get things done within three days. The war situation is out of the control of the four major sects. We need to leave as soon as possible. I will come again at midnight and take you to the mine." Zhu Que left after leaving a word.
