The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2353 Tongxuan Zhenbao

In fact, as soon as Matthew returned to his residence, he immediately sent people to inquire about the Bloody Cave.

He knew very well that the secrets he learned from Golden Armor were far from enough for him to embark on this dangerous journey with peace of mind.

Given his always cautious character, he had to obtain information from multiple channels and make many inquiries before he could really have a clear idea of ​​the situation.

Moreover, Matthew asked them not to explore inside the Golden City because that would not be very effective.

He had in his hand a list of high-level cultivators in southern Xinjiang and the locations of their caves, which the old pervert had compiled after decades of exploration.

What Matthew wanted was to send people out to find those high-level monks to ask about the Blood Demon Cave.

This time, even the four beast kings and Lan Yue were all sent out by Matthew.

Now, Matthew was alone in the city.

He was not worried about his own safety at all. Even if Huang Jinjia wanted to do something to him, he would have to consider his own strength.

He also believed that Huang Jinjia would never do such an unwise thing.

Things have been arranged, just wait for news.

Matthew put all these thoughts behind him and began to focus all his attention on refining the evil-removing pill.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed quietly.

As the day of the opening of the Blood Evil Cave draws closer, the number of monks in the Golden City is also increasing rapidly.

This already prosperous city is now even more bustling and lively.

On the streets, monks came and went, some in a hurry, obviously eager to prepare for the upcoming trip to the Blood Cave.

Some were wandering around leisurely, seemingly looking for something.

Business is booming in all the major shops, auction houses, weapon refineries, and other places in Golden City.

Many foreign cultivators flocked to these places, hoping to buy their desired treasures, elixirs or magical instruments so as to have more protection in the Blood Evil Cave.

As for the monks who originally lived in the Golden City, they took advantage of this special period to sell the treasures they had accumulated and made a fortune.

The whole city seemed to be shrouded in a tense and exciting atmosphere. The monks had different thoughts, but without exception, they were all closely related to the Blood Evil Cave that was about to open.

In an inn in Golden City, Ma Zheng was sitting quietly in the room, listening to Xing Yan's report.

Xingyan had just come back from outside, looking exhausted, but her expression was still calm, without any sign of fatigue.

As soon as she entered the door, she immediately reported to Matthew what she had gained from the trip.

As one of Matthew's most capable subordinates, Xingyan has always had heavy tasks, and this time is no exception.

She was the last one to come back because she had taken the most missions and traveled the farthest.

"Master, I found the soul-devouring old demon."

Xingyan's voice was calm and steady, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

"After fighting with him, I learned from him that Huang Jinjia had indeed entered the seventh floor of the Blood Demon Cave, and he went in with the Soul Devouring Demon."

Matthew nodded and motioned Xingyan to continue.

His expression remained calm, as if he was not surprised by Xing Yan's fight with the Soul-Devouring Demon.

Xing Yan's complexion was normal and her breathing was steady. It was obvious that she had not suffered any harm in the fight with the Soul-Devouring Demon.

Therefore, Matthew did not ask much about the details of the battle.

Xing Yan continued, "However, the Soul Devouring Demon also revealed an important piece of information. The Nine Shao Hundred Embroidered Clothes is indeed in the Blood Evil Cave, but it has been corroded by the Blood Evil Miasma for many years and is no longer the original Tongtian Lingbao. Huang Jinjia has never mentioned this to us before."

Hearing this, Matthew's expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The Jiushao Baixiuyi is a legendary magical treasure that can reach the sky, and its reputation is known to everyone in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, at this moment, Xing Yan told him that this treasure had been eroded by the bloody miasma and had lost its original power.

This news undoubtedly surprised Matthew.

However, Matthew was a man who had experienced many storms after all, and after a brief surprise, he quickly calmed down.

He thought about it carefully and soon figured out the reason.

Even a magical treasure may be changed by the environment if it is stored in a special environment for a long time.

Especially in a place like the Blood Evil Cave which is filled with bloody miasma, it seems reasonable that the Jiushao Baixiu Robe would be corroded.

"Did the Soul-Eating Demon tell me what the Jiushao Baixiuyi has become now?" Matthew asked.

His voice remained calm, but there was a hint of inquiry in his tone.

Xing Yan nodded and replied, "The Soul Devouring Demon said that although the Nine Shao Hundred Embroidered Robe was corroded by the Blood Evil Miasma, it did not completely lose its spirituality. On the contrary, it underwent some kind of transformation in the Blood Evil Cave and turned into an extremely special treasure. The Soul Devouring Demon did not know what it was exactly, but he was sure that this treasure still possessed great power, but its nature was very different from the original Tongtian Lingbao."

Upon hearing this, Matthew frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

The strange changes in the Jiushao Baixiuyi undoubtedly added a lot of uncertainty to this trip to the Blood Evil Cave.

Originally, he thought that as long as he found the Jiushao Baixiuyi, he would be able to complete the mission successfully.

However, it now seems that things are not that simple.

"Master, there is a special magic weapon in the upper realm, called Tongxuan Zhenbao. Its quality is even higher than Tongtian Lingbao. Although it can be refined, it is much more difficult than Tongtian Lingbao. Jiushao Baixiuyi was originally Tongtian Lingbao, and it may become Tongxuan Zhenbao if it mutates."

While Matthew was thinking about the matter of Jiushao Baixiuyi, Xingyan spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Matthew frowned slightly, and a wave of emotion arose in his heart.

He had never heard of any Tongxuan Zhenbao before. As soon as he heard about this thing, he knew it was not something that should exist in the human world.

His gaze fell on Xingyan, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in his eyes.

"What is Tongxuan Zhenbao? Is it very powerful?" Matthew asked softly, with a hint of exploration in his voice.

Xing Yan smiled slightly, and a deep light flashed in her eyes.

She said slowly: "Tongxuan Zhenbao is a treasure unique to the upper realm, and its power far exceeds Tongtian Lingbao. Although Tongtian Lingbao is powerful, it is ultimately a thing of the human world, while Tongxuan Zhenbao is made by the mighty men of the upper realm with supreme magic power, and contains the mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth."

Matthew listened attentively, and couldn't help but feel a little yearning in his heart.

He asked, "What is so special about the Tongxuan Zhenbao?"

Xing Yan pondered for a moment, as if she was organizing her words. She continued, "The reason why the Tongxuan Zhenbao is special is that it can communicate the power of heaven and earth and activate the laws of heaven and earth. Each Tongxuan Zhenbao contains the power of one or more laws of heaven and earth. The holder can use it to control these laws and exert the power to destroy heaven and earth."

Matthew was horrified when he heard this and couldn't help asking, "Doesn't that mean that people who possess the Tongxuan treasure are almost invincible in the world?"

Xing Yan shook her head and said with a smile: "Master, it's not that simple. Although the Tongxuan Zhenbao is powerful, it also requires a great price to use. Every time the Tongxuan Zhenbao is activated, it will consume a large amount of the holder's blood and soul power. If you are not careful, you will be backfired. At the least, your cultivation will be greatly damaged, and at the worst, your soul will be shattered."

Matthew was shocked when he heard this.

His original yearning for Tongxuan Zhenbao had cooled down a little at this moment.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "What changes will occur if the Nine Shao Hundred Embroidered Clothes is transformed into a Tong Xuan Zhen Bao?"

Xing Yan's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and she slowly said: "The Jiushao Baixiuyi was originally a Tongtian Lingbao. If it is transformed into a Tongxuan Zhenbao, its power will be greatly enhanced. Its original defensive power will become even more indestructible, and it can even withstand the attacks of the powerful from the upper realm. Moreover, it may also awaken new abilities, such as controlling the power of heaven and earth, or invoking the power of certain laws."

Ma Xiu's heart was moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking, "What is the possibility that the Nine Shao Hundred Embroidered Clothes will transform into the Tong Xuan Zhen Bao?"

Xing Yan shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. The transformation of Tongxuan Zhenbao requires extremely harsh conditions. First, the magic weapon itself must have reached the peak of Tongtian Lingbao. Second, it needs to experience some kind of baptism of heaven and earth transformation under specific circumstances. Although Jiushao Baixiuyi has reached the level of Tongtian Lingbao, whether it can be transformed into Tongxuan Zhenbao depends on chance."

Matthew nodded, thinking to himself.

He knew that if the Jiushao Baixiuyi could transform into a Tongxuan Zhenbao, it would be of great help to him.

But at the same time, he also understood that this kind of change was not easy and required great opportunity and luck.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said to Xing Yan: "If that's the case, then let's just wait and see. If the Jiushao Baixiuyi can really transform into a Tongxuan Zhenbao, then that would be great. If not, we don't have to force it."

Xing Yan smiled slightly and nodded, "Master is right. The path of cultivating immortals emphasizes letting nature take its course. Forcing things will only backfire."

Matthew nodded, and his yearning for Tongxuan Zhenbao gradually subsided.

"Then the Golden Armor and the Soul-Devouring Demon probably don't know about the Tongxuan Treasure." Matthew asked after hesitating for a moment.

He had just learned about Tongxuan Zhenbao from Xingyan.

If those old monsters in southern Xinjiang really knew about this, they would probably go crazy to grab this thing.

Matthew has now decided that no matter whether the Jiushao Baixiuyi really becomes a Tongxuan treasure or not, he must get it.

"I can be sure that the Soul-Devouring Demon doesn't know about the Tongxuan True Treasure. He only knows that the Jiushao Baixiu Clothes is no longer the Tongtian Lingbao. He also swore an oath to me that this time he entered the Blood Evil Cave, he was not going to covet the Jiushao Baixiu Clothes, but had other purposes." Xing Yan responded in an extremely firm tone.
