Chapter 3376: The Secret of the Four Directions Cauldron, the Dan Heaven Records, and the Place of Resonance

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere over at the Dan Ding Ancient Sect and Jun Xiaoyao, the atmosphere at the Medicine Long Long Wang Dian was one of gloom.

The Medicine Long Long Wang Dian Master, sitting in the seat of honor, slammed a hand onto the armrest, his expression as dark as water.

"This Myriad Phenomena Dan Palace has embarrassed my Medicine Long Long Wang Dian in public!"

He imagined that by now, all the various alchemy factions were secretly mocking the Medicine Long Long Wang Dian.

Not only had they failed to win first place in this alchemy convention, but they had also suffered such humiliation.

Below him, Yao Li's expression was also icy cold.

Yet he still said, "Father, you need not dwell on this matter."

"In the future, I will naturally make that Ye Qingqian regret this deeply."

Hearing Yao Li's words, a look of relief appeared in the Medicine Long Long Wang Dian Master's eyes.

Although his Medicine Long Long Wang Dian's reputation had been damaged this time, Yao Li had indeed not failed his expectations.

If there was anyone to blame, it was only that dark horse Dan Fei who had appeared halfway through; otherwise, Yao Li would have had a high chance of winning the championship.

"Father, I shall take my leave now."

Yao Li bowed slightly and then departed.

Afterward, he instructed the attendant beside him.

"You are to secretly send people to keep an eye on that Jun Xiaoyao, Dan Fei, and the others."

"Remember, you must not alert them or let them discover you."

"If they have any movements, or if they intend to go anywhere, report to me immediately," Yao Li said.

"Yes, your subordinate obeys," the attendant bowed and left.

A cold glint flickered in Yao Li's eyes.

"There is no one who can take away what I intend to possess."

The Dan Ding Ancient Sect held a grand banquet for three days in Medicine King City, truly stealing the spotlight.

After Jun Xiaoyao gave a wisp of the Samadhi True Fire's sub-flame to Ye Qingqian, he also received her promise.

If she discovered anything of value in her research, she would definitely inform Jun Xiaoyao the very first moment.

Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao brought Dan Fei into a room alone.

The gaze Dan Fei directed at Jun Xiaoyao was already filled with pure adoration.

She knew that if it hadn't been for Jun Xiaoyao "tutoring" her beforehand, it would definitely not have been an easy task to defeat Yao Li and Ye Qingqian, even with the help of the Samadhi True Fire.

Jun Xiaoyao had long since anticipated the results of this alchemy convention.

If even a sliver of his talent couldn't help Dan Fei win, then it could only be said that he was too mediocre.

"Dan Fei, take out that ancient cauldron," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Oh."

Dan Fei was very obedient and took out the ancient cauldron.

It looked ancient and heavy, as if stained with the dust of ages.

Jun Xiaoyao examined the ancient cauldron, his spiritual sense infiltrating it.

Previously, Yao Li had been so desperate to obtain this cauldron; it was definitely because he knew some underlying details.

A Son of Luck like him would not act without a reason.

However, even with Jun Xiaoyao's spiritual sense perception, he was unable to detect any mystery for the time being.

It was no wonder that those who had obtained this cauldron before had not discovered anything unusual and had simply treated it as a worthless ancient artifact of the Dan clan.

Additionally, Jun Xiaoyao noticed that inside the ancient cauldron, there were many intricate and profound characters engraved, incomparably complex.

These were the secret patterns of the Dan clan; without a special method, they were difficult to decipher.

And now, the Dan clan had already gone extinct in the vast starry sky; at the very least, no news of them had spread.

"Since Yao Li wanted to obtain this cauldron, could it be that he is related to the Dan clan, or is it that he has awakened the consciousness of a Dan clan ancestor?"

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was pondering this in his heart, Dan Fei, who was also staring at the characters inside the cauldron, suddenly said hesitantly, "This... I seem to recognize it."

"You recognize it?"

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Dan Fei.

Dan Fei nodded, seemingly feeling a bit puzzled herself.

"I don't know why, but I just recognize it; it seems I have seen these characters in my dreams as well," Dan Fei said.

"Then it seems I must rely on you to unlock the secret of this cauldron," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.

Dan Fei nodded and began to identify and contemplate them.

After some time had passed, Dan Fei informed Jun Xiaoyao that what was engraved within was an ancient, supreme alchemy scripture, incomparably profound and deep.

Even Dan Fei found it difficult to fully comprehend it for the time being.

"Dan Heaven Records..."

Upon learning the name of the scripture, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes became unreadable.

Previously, he had casually browsed through some information regarding the Dan clan.

These Dan Heaven Records were the supreme alchemy scripture and secret canon of the Dan clan, never passed on to outsiders.

Only the core direct descendants were qualified to come into contact with it.

Jun Xiaoyao now understood why Yao Li wanted to obtain this cauldron.

And he, too, should be able to recognize the Dan clan characters.

Jun Xiaoyao was even more certain that he had an inextricable connection with the Dan clan.

"Dan Fei, can you try to control and refine this cauldron?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

"I can try," Dan Fei said.

Next, Dan Fei began to attempt to refine the ancient cauldron.

Jun Xiaoyao also provided guidance and assistance from the side.

After another period of time, Dan Fei finally managed to preliminarily refine the cauldron.

She also had more realization in her heart and informed Jun Xiaoyao that this cauldron was called the Four Directions Cauldron.

It was once a vessel that gathered and carried the clan's fortune.

Jun Xiaoyao understood.

It seemed that Yao Li was fully aware of the cauldron's background.

However, now that the Dan clan was long gone, this vessel that carried the clan's fortune naturally had no further use.

Could it be that Yao Li only wanted to obtain this cauldron because of the Dan Heaven Records engraved inside?

For some reason, Jun Xiaoyao felt it wasn't that simple.

At this moment, Dan Fei said, "Young Master, I seem to feel that this cauldron has a special resonance, in a place very, very far away."

"Resonance with what?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Dan Fei shook her head: "I don't know, but it must be extremely closely connected to this cauldron."

Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

It seemed that the reason Yao Li wanted to obtain this cauldron was only partially due to the Dan Heaven Records.

Could it be a secret treasury of the Dan clan?

Or perhaps some other secret related to the Dan clan?

Jun Xiaoyao guessed secretly.

He said, "Dan Fei, do not tell anyone else about this for now. After we rest a bit, we will leave directly."

Jun Xiaoyao prepared to leave.

He would let Dan Fei use this cauldron to explore the place she had sensed.

A few days later, Jun Xiaoyao and the group from the Dan Ding Ancient Sect also left Medicine King City.

"Young Master, I seem to feel it; this cauldron has a special resonance, coming from a place very, very far away."

"Resonance with what?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Dan Fei shook her head: "I don't know, but it definitely has an extremely close connection to this cauldron."

Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

It seems that is the reason why Yao Li wanted to obtain this cauldron.

The Dan Clan Records are only a partial factor.

Could it be the secret treasury of the Dan Clan?

Or is it related to other secrets of the Dan Clan?

Jun Xiaoyao guessed secretly.

He said: "Dan Fei, do not speak of this matter to anyone else for now. After we rest and reorganize a bit, we will leave directly."

Jun Xiaoyao prepared to leave.

He would let Dan Fei use this cauldron to explore the place she sensed.

A few days later, Jun Xiaoyao and the group from the Ancient Dan Cauldron Sect also left Medicine King City.

After leaving the Cangqing Realm where the Medicine King Palace was located.

Jun Xiaoyao said to Sect Master Gu Tian: "Sect Master Gu Tian, could you lend me Dan Fei for a few days?"

"Of course you may," Sect Master Gu Tian said.

At the same time, he looked at Dan Fei, revealing a look of satisfaction toward her.

It seems this girl Dan Fei has finally become enlightened.

She knows to strike first and not lose to that Ye Qingqian.

Dan Fei's face turned slightly red; Sect Master Gu Tian had completely misunderstood.

Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao and Dan Fei left alone on a flying boat.

And in the far distance, an obscure figure saw this and secretly sent a message.

On the other side, Yao Li also received the news.

His expression was indifferent.

"That Dan Fei is indeed related to the Dan Clan; otherwise, it would be impossible for her to comprehend that Four-Direction Cauldron."

"Since they have found the direction, I can play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Yao Li had a plan in his heart and also began to arrange his actions.
