Wu Shattered Star River

"Ugh!"

Seeing those eyes, Jiang Han's body trembled, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

They were the eyes of a wild beast, devoid of any emotion, yet a single glance sent shivers down one's spine.

Such eyes were terrifying; a weak woman like Jiang Li would likely suffer nightmares for a long time after seeing them…

Jiang Han quickly steadied his mind and asked, focusing his gaze on the eyes, "Are you the artifact spirit of the Celestial Beast Cauldron?"

The eyes remained motionless, staring at Jiang Han with an icy gaze, neither transmitting divine thoughts nor speaking, making Jiang Han's heart pound.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Han asked again, "Did you devour my Red Flame Golden Lion Beast's blood essence?"

The eyes remained silent. Jiang Han grew somewhat angry but patiently said, "Speak up! I am, after all, your master. Is this how you treat your master with respect?"

Still silence!

Jiang Han waited for a moment, then grew angry again. He refused to believe that the Celestial Beast Cauldron would devour its master.

Immediately, he lifted his long robe, stared at the eyes, and said, "If you don't speak, I'll pee on you!"

"How childish!"

An old and hoarse voice echoed from within the Celestial Beast Cauldron, "With your meager battle prowess, a mere pseudo-immortal, you dare to call yourself this King's master? How laughable!"

"Uh…"

Jiang Han was stunned. The artifact spirit could actually speak?

And judging by the voice and tone, it didn't sound like an artifact spirit at all, but more like the remnant soul of an ultimate powerhouse?

This King?

A Celestial King?

Jiang Han quickly reconsidered. If it were the remnant soul of a Celestial King, it wouldn't use the term 'master.' The way it spoke suggested it should be the artifact spirit of the Celestial Beast Cauldron.

His mind raced, analyzing various possibilities. After a moment, he said, "The Celestial Beast Cauldron now recognizes me as its master. You are the artifact spirit of the Celestial Beast Cauldron. How am I not your master?"

The old voice fell silent again.

Jiang Han waited for a moment, then lifted his robe again. As expected, the old voice spoke again, "You are, after all, a hegemon of the lower realm. Why resort to such childish and shameless acts?"

"The Celestial Beast Cauldron recognizes you as its master? Are you perhaps overthinking things? If this King doesn't acknowledge you as master, you can only use a small portion of the Celestial Beast Cauldron's functions. Hmph!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Han's heart stirred, and he quickly became incredibly excited. The old voice was indeed the artifact spirit of the Celestial Beast Cauldron.

Most importantly… it said he was only using a small portion of the Celestial Beast Cauldron's functions? If he used all of them, how heaven-defying would this Celestial Beast Cauldron be?

The Celestial Beast Cauldron could defend against soul attacks, its defensive power was heaven-defying, it could make him immune to all poisons, and it possessed a Heaven-ranked secret chamber and a Beast-ranked secret realm…

These were already incredibly heaven-defying. Judging by the artifact spirit's tone, these functions were the most ordinary?

"Damn…"

The more Jiang Han thought about it, the more shocked he became. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, you call yourself This King. Could you be a Celestial King-level expert?"

The artifact spirit remained silent, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge Jiang Han!

After waiting for a moment, Jiang Han could only lift his robe again…

"You're over thirty years old!"

The artifact spirit was enraged and couldn't help but roar, "Why do you always do such childish and shameless things? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han grinned and said, "If you honestly answer my questions, I won't mess around. Are you a Celestial King-level expert?"

"No comment!"

"What level of expert was the Celestial Beast Cauldron's previous master?"

"No comment!"

"What other functions does the Celestial Beast Cauldron have?"

"No comment!"

"Damn you… Are you asking for it?"

Jiang Han lifted his robe again, and the artifact spirit was undoubtedly furious, shouting, "Boy, if This King hadn't just awakened and was so weak, do you believe This King wouldn't sever your little worm?"

"Just awakened? Very weak?"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up. It seemed the artifact spirit couldn't harm him?

He immediately relaxed a lot and asked, "You stole my Red Flame Golden Lion Beast's blood essence, and you still have the nerve to be angry?"

"Hasn't the Celestial Beast Cauldron helped you a lot over the years?"

The artifact spirit transmitted, "A little bit of low-level blood essence, is This King not allowed to devour it?"

"You can devour it!"

Jiang Han said gently, "But you should at least tell me, isn't that the right thing to do?"

"And you also know that I am a pseudo-immortal, and there are experts everywhere in the upper realm. I could be killed at any moment. This blood essence is very important to me. No… you must compensate me."

"Dream on!"

"Then I'll pee on you!"

"Be more mature!"

"I'm peeing!"

"Don't force This King to get angry!"

"I'm really peeing!"

"Don't challenge This King's bottom line!"

"How about this… you tell me the remaining functions of the Celestial Beast Cauldron and help me activate them, and we'll call it even!"

"You're dreaming!"

"Damn your mother, are you asking for a beating?"

Jiang Han lifted his robe, aimed it at the Celestial Beast Cauldron, and closed his eyes, no longer looking at those eyes, making it clear that he was going to act impulsively.

"Stop!"

The Celestial Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit shouted angrily, "Even if the other functions are activated for you, you can't use them with your current battle prowess."

"How about this… This King will help you activate the Cauldron-ranked secret chamber, but you must agree to one condition for This King!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Han shuddered, almost unable to hold back his pee. He quickly pulled up his pants and asked, "What condition?"

The Celestial Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit said, "Every year, you must get This King ten thousand drops of third-order immortal beast blood essence, or This King will close the Celestial Beast Cauldron and prevent you from using any of its functions."

"Third-order immortal beast?"

Jiang Han blinked and asked, "The battle prowess of a third-order immortal beast is comparable to a Celestial Lord, right? Are you out of your mind? I'm just a pseudo-immortal. Are you asking me to risk my life to get third-order immortal beast blood essence?"

"Idiot…"

The artifact spirit said coldly, "With the Cauldron-ranked secret chamber activated, do you think it will be difficult to earn immortal stones?"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up and asked, "What's the use of the Cauldron-ranked secret chamber? Don't worry, as long as I can earn immortal stones, I guarantee I'll get you third-order immortal beast blood essence."

"Buzz~"

The word "Cauldron" on the Celestial Beast Cauldron lit up, shining with golden light. The entire Celestial Beast Cauldron also shone brightly, and the monster patterns on it moved rapidly.

After a moment, the word "Cauldron" disappeared, and a small black hole appeared inside. The artifact spirit shouted, "Go in and see for yourself."

Jiang Han hesitated. What if he entered the Celestial Beast Cauldron and the artifact spirit harmed him?

The artifact spirit might not be able to harm him outside, but if he entered, the artifact spirit could at least lock him up and prevent him from ever getting out.

"Forget it!"

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Han gritted his teeth. Unless he didn't want the Celestial Beast Cauldron anymore, he could only reach an agreement with the artifact spirit.

Otherwise, the artifact spirit could close the Celestial Beast Cauldron at any time, and he wouldn't be able to use any of its functions.

With a flash of his body, he entered the Cauldron-ranked secret chamber.

The secret chamber was not big or small, and the walls inside were still lit with a faint light. It was empty inside, with only a cauldron placed in the middle, a cauldron identical to the Celestial Beast Cauldron.

"What's the meaning of this?"

Jiang Han blinked and asked, "Why is there a cauldron here?"

"Of course there's a cauldron inside the Cauldron-ranked secret chamber!"

The artifact spirit's voice rang out. He said, "What are cauldrons used for? Of course, they're used for refining pills! This is the real Celestial Beast Cauldron. This cauldron steals the creation of heaven and earth and is a rare treasure in the world."

"As long as you have a pill formula and raw materials, this cauldron can refine all kinds of immortal pills and divine pills, and the medicinal effects are twice as good as immortal pills refined by other cauldrons!"

"Think about it yourself… With this cauldron, will you still lack immortal stones?"

"Damn…"

After listening, Jiang Han's eyes widened, and his body trembled non-stop with excitement. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind.

That is!

He was going to get rich, he was going to take off!
