Chapter 435: Void Heaven Cauldron, Heaven Mending Pill
“That’s not necessarily so. I’ve heard that disciples of the Myriad Law Sect searched everywhere for the ‘Golden Silkworm’ a few years ago, but then suddenly all news of it ceased. I don’t know if they managed to find it. If they did have the help of such an exotic insect, perhaps Sect Master Wan Tianming really is eyeing the Void Heaven Cauldron,” the supreme patriarch of dark yin said with tightly knit brows, subconsciously casting a worried glance at Wan Tianming and the others.
At this moment, three nascent soul stage cultivators from the righteous path were sitting cross-legged on a pillar, seemingly paying no attention to their conversation.
“Hmph! It’s not just Wan Tianming who might have the Golden Silkworm. I heard that you, Extreme Yin, also obtained two variant fire pythons on Li Fire Island. I’m afraid your ambitions are quite big this time as well!” Barbarian Huzi glanced at the supreme patriarch of dark yin disdainfully.
He seemed to look down on the supreme patriarch’s secretive actions.
Upon hearing this, the supreme patriarch’s expression changed drastically several times, but soon returned to normal, though he was cursing inwardly.
There was no doubt that some of his trusted followers had leaked information, which had fallen into the enemy’s ears.
Barbarian Huzi’s visit to the Void Heaven Hall was probably just a pretext to pick Longevity Fruit, and his real intention was to monitor his actions!
Despite his annoyance, after a brief pause, the supreme patriarch calmly said, “Brother Man, you flatter me. Indeed, I brought two variant fire pythons this time. However, their cultivation levels are still shallow, and the chances of success are rather slim. I will need your and Brother Qing’s assistance.”
“Help you? What’s in it for us?” The scholarly old man hesitated before asking.
The supreme patriarch smiled faintly and did not say more outright. Instead, he transmitted his words quietly: “According to the information left by the owner of the Void Heaven Hall, inside the Void Heaven Cauldron, besides the most important ‘Heaven Mending Pill’, there are also several top-tier ancient treasures from ancient cultivators, immensely powerful. I only want the Cauldron and one Heaven Mending Pill. The rest can be divided among you. How about that?”
Greed flashed briefly in the scholarly old man’s eyes, but after some thought, he glanced at Barbarian Huzi and replied, “I have no objection, but it depends on Brother Man’s opinion. After all, without Brother Man restraining Wan Tianming, I won’t take this risk.”
The supreme patriarch was not surprised by this. He knew that the scholarly old man, called “scholar qingyi,” was an old fox. If Barbarian Huzi was not involved, he would never agree to such an uncertain venture.
So the supreme patriarch turned to Barbarian Huzi with a smile, transmitting his conditions before asking, “Brother Man, what do you think of my proposal? Are you interested in cooperating? After all, the value of the Heaven Mending Pill needs no explanation, and Brother Man should understand well. It can mend the five elements of one’s spiritual roots. I believe there’s no other place in the immortal cultivation world like this. Perhaps after consuming it, Brother Man will easily make a great breakthrough in cultivation and surpass the lifespan limit!”
He seemed completely unfazed by Barbarian Huzi’s earlier disdain, persistently urging him.
“Hmph! Thinking that two fire pythons can put the Void Heaven Cauldron in your sights? I think you’re out of your minds! Countless nascent soul stage cultivators entered the Inner Hall in the past, and all returned empty-handed. Do you think taking such a risk has any hope? The danger inside the Inner Hall is vastly different from the Outer Hall. Even cultivators who have reached the nascent soul stage can’t walk out unscathed. Many nascent soul cultivators have perished during previous openings of the Void Heaven Hall,” Barbarian Huzi snorted coldly, speaking with a tone of mockery.
