Chapter 637: Void Heaven Cauldron, Small Bottle, Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure

~11 min read 2,020 words

Seeing that Han Li did not flatly refuse, the silver-haired old man was secretly happy and said even more sincerely:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, although we hold the position of Supreme Elder in the sect, we actually don't need to do anything, and there are no worldly affairs to worry about; it is just a deterrent existence. We can completely focus on our own affairs. And every year, the disciples in the sect will offer us thousands of spirit stones as cultivation resources. If we have any special needs for spiritual medicines or materials, we can also order the disciples below to do it, without having to worry about searching for them ourselves. In short, as an elder of our Falling Cloud Sect, Fellow Daoist will definitely not receive less than half of the treatment compared to other sects."

"Senior Brother is right, and although Fellow Daoist Han has successfully condensed a Nascent Soul and entered the Nascent Soul stage, I think you must be completely confused and unfamiliar with the condensing of the Nascent Soul, right? It's not that the two of us brothers are boasting, but although the two of us have been trapped in the early stage of Nascent Soul for hundreds of years and cannot advance further, we still have some unique insights in cultivation. If Fellow Daoist is willing to join our sect, the two of us will naturally tell you frankly, allowing Fellow Daoist Han to take fewer detours." The cultivator surnamed Lu also persuaded slowly.

"so that Brother Han can avoid taking some detours," the cultivator surnamed Lu also slowly advised.

After all, having one more Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect could immediately make the sect's strength soar. Although it still couldn't compare to the Giant Sword Sect, it was immediately on par with the Hundred Crafts Academy. The Falling Cloud Sect's status in Mount Mount Yunmeng would also become as stable as Mount Tai.

Han Li listened to the two's invitation and felt moved by the conditions mentioned by the cultivator surnamed Lu.

He naturally knew what it meant to have a cultivator who had condensed a Nascent Soul for hundreds of years give him guidance just after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator. It could be said that he could save decades or even more than a hundred years of hard cultivation.

As for staying in the Falling Cloud Sect, he hadn't thought about the pros and cons seriously from the beginning. Now that the other party had taken the initiative to propose it, he had to consider it carefully.

whether it is better to continue as a rogue cultivator, or to go with the flow and become an elder of the Luoyun Sect, or simply to go and pick a more suitable sect to join.

After bowing his head and contemplating for a good while, Han Li raised his head and said solemnly:

"The two Fellow Daoists' good intentions, Han accepts. However, this matter is significant, and I have just successfully formed my Nascent Soul and am still somewhat unsettled. I hope the two of you will allow me to consider it for a few days and reply to you in three days, how about that?"

Hearing Han Li's words, the silver-haired old man and the other looked at each other, and then the old man only considered it slightly before answering somewhat apologetically:

"Shameful! It seems my brothers were a bit impatient. This matter should naturally be considered carefully by Fellow Daoist for a few days. In this way, I will designate this place as a forbidden area to prevent sect disciples from disturbing Fellow Daoist's cultivation. In three days, the two of us will visit Fellow Daoist together."

After saying this, the silver-haired old man and the other chatted with Han Li for a few more words and then tactfully took their leave.

Han Li politely sent them to the outside of the cave dwelling, then returned to the hall and sat down, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about.

A white shadow flashed outside the hall, and Lady Yin Yue, who had restored her original form as a white fox, walked in gracefully.

"Why, is your magic power not enough to support the transformation again?" Han Li glanced at the little fox and said with strange curiosity.

"Yes, Master! With my artifact spirit body's magic power plus a bit of spiritual power from the demon fox body, I can only support the human form for this long. It will take another month before I can transform into a human form again." The little fox raised her petite head and said depressedly in human speech.

"Wait until you truly advance to a Level 8 demon beast, and you will be able to transform into a human form forever. No need to be so impatient now." Han Li said indifferently.

"That's true, I've survived so many years in the cauldron, so I don't mind a few hundred more years. Besides, with Master's pills to assist, perhaps I can advance much earlier than I expected!" Lady Yin Yue said seriously.

Han Li nodded upon hearing this, and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Speaking of the Void Heaven Cauldron, I didn't ask you about it before because I relied on my insufficient cultivation. But now that my Nascent Soul is formed, you should be able to talk about this matter. After all, you have stayed in the cauldron for such a long time, it's impossible that you don't know a little bit about the method to open the cauldron. And I am very curious about what treasures are in this cauldron besides the Heaven-Patching Pill!"

"Lady Yin Yue does know the method to open the cauldron. But Master might be a bit disappointed." Lady Yin Yue paused and sighed.

"Oh! How so? With my current cultivation, am I still unable to open this cauldron?" Han Li touched his chin, somewhat disbelieving.

"Master doesn't know. When I and several other ancient treasures escaped from the cauldron, it wasn't because we could resist the restraint of the Void Heaven Cauldron, a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. It was because the Dry Blue Ice Flame on the cauldron was triggered by Master and other cultivators entering the hall, and we were able to take advantage of the situation." Lady Yin Yue said slowly.

"Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, what is that? Isn't the Void Heaven Cauldron an ancient treasure? Listening to your tone, it seems that opening the Void Heaven Cauldron has a lot to do with the Dry Blue Ice Flame." Han Li had a look of doubt flash across his face, somewhat surprised.

"Actually, Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures are ancient treasures; this is the name used by ancient cultivators. However, only treasures among ancient treasures that possess great divine abilities can be crowned with this title. And the Void Heaven Cauldron is such a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Although I don't know what divine abilities this cauldron possesses, it definitely far exceeds the power of ordinary ancient treasures. As for the Dry Blue Ice Flame, it is precisely the key to opening the Void Heaven Cauldron. No, it should be said that it is the first step to controlling the Void Heaven Cauldron. Master can only have a chance to control this spirit treasure after refining this flame." Lady Yin Yue's tone became solemn.

"Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure! To be called this by ancient cultivators, it seems this treasure is truly extraordinary. But since refining the ice flame is only the first step, are there other things to do? You might as well tell me all at once." Han Li didn't show any annoyance, but instead revealed a hint of joy.

He knew very well that a treasure that required so many conditions to be used only meant that its power far exceeded his expectations. This was naturally a huge surprise. As long as the Void Heaven Cauldron was in his hands, no matter how harsh the conditions were, there would always be a day when he could drive this treasure. On this point, Han Li was quite confident.

"As for what needs to be done next, I don't know either. Because after Master refines the Dry Blue Ice Flame, you will naturally get the hint for the next step. I only know this much." Lady Yin Yue shook her head and said honestly.

"I see! This is truly a bit tricky. But never mind! Let's just refine the Dry Blue Ice Flame first, and then talk about other things. By the way! You seem to have not said what other treasures are in the cauldron." Han Li was a bit disappointed at first, then stared at the little fox deeply before asking slowly.

"Lady Yin Yue didn't intend to hide anything. It's just that besides two Heaven-Patching Pills, there are no other ancient treasures in the cauldron. Only an empty cauldron is left. After all, in the years the Void Heaven Cauldron was placed in the Void Heaven Hall, there were always some cultivators with great divine abilities who could use some special means to trigger the Dry Blue Ice Flame on the cauldron. And every time this happened, one or two treasures would take the opportunity to escape. In this way, the treasures in the cauldron naturally gradually emptied. The ones you saw in the Void Heaven Hall last time were the only remaining ancient treasures." Lady Yin Yue was afraid that Han Li would be dissatisfied with her, so she explained somewhat uneasily.

"So that's how it is. It doesn't matter! With my current cultivation, I don't look down on ordinary ancient treasures anyway. Being able to make the Void Heaven Cauldron my own is the best result." Han Li didn't show any annoyance, but instead felt calm, as if he had expected this.

"Master being able to let go like this, Lady Yin Yue admires it very much! What Master said is indeed correct. According to my knowledge, even in the ancient times, at most fifty or sixty ancient treasures could be crowned with the title of spirit treasure. Every one of them could almost possess great divine abilities like overturning rivers and seas, moving mountains and stars. To tell the truth, when I first saw Master's small bottle being able to ripen spiritual medicines, I almost thought this bottle was also some kind of spirit treasure. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt it was unlikely." Lady Yin Yue suddenly smiled and said.

"Oh, why? Could it be that my small bottle's divine abilities are not as good as those spirit treasures?" Han Li heard this and was stunned for a moment, somewhat disbelieving.

"That's not it. Regardless of whether Master's small bottle has other divine abilities, just the ability to ripen spiritual medicines alone, I think is enough to look down on all spirit treasures. After all, other spirit treasures, no matter how powerful, still have to follow the laws of Heaven and Earth in this world. Those spirit treasures just amplify and utilize these laws. However, the small bottle's ability to ripen spiritual medicines is truly going against Heaven. I estimate that only the Spirit World after ascension, or the Immortal World at a higher level, could possibly refine such a treasure." The little fox licked her lips with her pink tongue before saying solemnly.

"Could it be that you mean this treasure of mine might have been refined by cultivators from the Upper World or immortals from the Immortal World?" Han Li couldn't help but gasp, somewhat moved.

"That's right, it is indeed possible!" Lady Yin Yue nodded slightly.

Han Li heard this and fell silent, suddenly taking out the mysterious small bottle from his storage bag, playing with it in his hands, his expression shifting uncertainly.

After a long while, he slowly put the bottle away and suddenly asked Lady Yin Yue:

"Lady Yin Yue, you should have heard the words of those two Falling Cloud Sect elders next door. Do you think I should stay, or look for a better place?"
