Chapter 384: The Immortal Physician's Cauldron
If the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect could recognize the Sword Immortal's natal sword "Immortal Palace," then naturally other extraordinary forces would also recognize the other immortal treasures on the stage.
The pure black square cauldron that was placed on the stage, which did not look very large, was recognized at a glance by Elder Gu of the Qingyi Divine Palace.
"Holy Maiden, do you see that square cauldron?"
Elder Gu said in a low voice.
Meng Yirou nodded.
"That is the Extreme Life Cauldron recorded in the ancient palace books!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yirou exclaimed in surprise, "Is that it?!"
"The Immortal Physician" was the first alchemist and physician to ascend to immortality in the primordial era. Many records about him are preserved in the Divine Palace of Healing, but the most important records are the two supreme treasures he left in the Xuan Tian Realm!
One of them is the "Extreme Life Cauldron," which is said to be able to refine all living things and fuse them into one pill. It is also the immortal physician's own natal alchemy cauldron!
Legend has it that the material used in this Extreme Life Cauldron is "Ancient Realm Primal Crystal," which does not exist in the Xuan Tian Realm at all. It was only after the Immortal Physician spent thousands of years searching for it, traveling to the Immortal Realm and the Ancient Realm, and enduring many hardships. It contains infinite wonders.
Fortunately, the Extreme Life Cauldron did not attract many greedy eyes, because it was obvious to anyone with eyes that this square cauldron was used for refining medicine.
It's obvious they can't use this thing. If they try to snatch it, it would be even more unwise than trying to snatch the "Immortal Palace" sword from the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect.
The only alchemy factions present were the Imperial Medical Palace and the Northern Desert Medicine Sect. Even if there were to be a struggle for ownership, it would be between these two factions. As for how fierce and bloody the struggle would be... the conflict between the Northern Desert Medicine Sect and the Imperial Medical Palace was no secret. It could be said that, compared to other grudges, the "disagreement" on alchemy methods was the most irreconcilable and least likely issue for compromise between the Northern Desert Medicine Sect and the Imperial Medical Palace.
"If we obtain this cauldron, our Divine Medicine Palace will possess a medical treasure. This Extreme Life Cauldron is an absolute celestial treasure. With this, our alchemy skills will definitely make further progress!"
Elder Gu sighed.
The Divine Palace of Medicine is known as the number one alchemy force in the world. If it could have a celestial-grade magic treasure as its treasure, wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?
The only pity is...
The "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia," one of the two great treasures of the Immortal Physician, has not been found to this day, as if it has been completely lost.
If I could have both the Extreme Life Cauldron and the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia" in my hands...
Tsk tsk.
Elder Gu couldn't even imagine how awesome it would be for the Divine Palace of Healing!
But the Primordial Pharmacopoeia is nowhere to be found, while the Extreme Life Cauldron is right before our eyes.
No matter what, I can't let anyone else take it.
Especially not to the... Northern Desert Medicine Sect!
"Ha, what a coincidence!"
Elder Gu recognized the Extreme Life Cauldron, and Qi Yuan naturally recognized it as well. He glanced at Elder Gu of the Qingyi Divine Palace with a cold smile and said without hesitation, "Old man, stop staring at it. My Mobei Medicine Sect is determined to have this cauldron!"
"If you dare to rob us, be careful, all of you useless trash from the Divine Palace will die, and your Holy Maiden will be dragged down with you!"
The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
This is a blatant declaration of war!
Moreover, they were completely confrontational and refused to back down in the slightest!
Instead, everyone tacitly moved away from the teams of the Northern Desert Medicine Sect and the Divine Palace of Healing, because they had a premonition that if a fight broke out, the battle would be extremely fierce.
"Hmph! How arrogant! Fine, I'll arrest you now and then have your master come and take you away!"
Elder Gu was also furious.
He never expected that Qi Yuan had no bigwigs from the Northern Desert Medicine Sect by his side, and seemed to have come here alone with a group of underlings. Now he was even spouting nonsense.
Then just break his legs and see if he'll still be so cocky!
Since there weren't any experts around Qi Yuan, Elder Gu simply waved his sleeve, and a burst of Dao power shot towards Qi Yuan!
Control him, then grab him.
Killing Qi Yuan is obviously not an option, as the Qingyi Divine Palace is not prepared to go to war with the Mobei Medicine Sect, and vice versa. However, if the disciple of the Mobei Medicine Emperor dies, who knows what he might do in a fit of rage.
However, the appearance of the two auras directly crushed Elder Gu's Dao power palm, forcing Elder Gu to retreat several steps!
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, two middle-aged men slowly stepped out of the shadows.
They were dressed in black robes and wore masks, yet they exerted an invisible pressure on all the various factions present.
Elder Baili's eyes widened in surprise.
Both of them were at the ninth level of the Mahayana cultivation!
Moreover, Elder Baili hadn't noticed their presence at all, which is why he recognized the movement technique they were practicing called "Xingyuan Anbu" (Hidden Steps of the Abyss).
He used to follow his sect leader to the northern desert to kill the alien demons, and this movement technique that hides in the shadows and completely conceals his aura is the inheritance of the Zhenyuan Palace in the northern desert!
but.
At the ninth level of the Mahayana realm, even within the Zhenyuan Palace, one is considered an extremely powerful high-level combat force, second only to the Zhenyuan Grand General and the "Four Great Generals." Such combat power would not leave the Northern Desert without permission! The Great Abyss is constantly spawning alien demons, and the Great Abyss is too polluted, requiring powerful generals to guard it. Therefore, it is well known that the Zhenyuan Palace never intervenes in any power struggles.
It's not that they don't want to, but compared to going outside to compete for benefits, if something goes wrong in the Great Abyss and causes widespread suffering, then they would be the real sinners.
These two could not have come out on their own; otherwise, they would have been branded as "traitors" and punished according to the harsh military laws of Zhenyuan Hall.
The Zhenyuan Palace has always been ruthless in its dealings with traitors, pursuing them to the ends of the earth. Even the Wanjian Immortal Sect never shelters those whom the Zhenyuan Palace seeks to kill.
Then there is only one possibility.
This was sent by Zhenyuan Hall.
"...I didn't know that the two generals of Zhenyuan Palace had come from afar. It seems that I was careless."
Elder Gu steadied himself and looked at the two men in black robes. Although his face was gloomy, he could only admit defeat for the time being.
After all, circumstances are beyond our control.
If we're talking about fighting alone...
Elder Gu believed himself to be at the eighth level of the Mahayana realm, and that with the help of some pills and magic treasures, he could hold his own against a ninth-level Mahayana warrior.
However, there were two opponents, so Elder Gu knew that once the fight started, he would be at a complete disadvantage in less than a hundred moves.
"Hehe, no need for formalities. Our presence here today is at the behest of our Great General. After all, the Northern Medicine King is an indispensable figure in the Northern Desert. However, neither of us intends to compete for him, so let the juniors decide for themselves."
One of the black-robed warriors spoke, his tone calm yet conveying an undeniable authority.
The meaning is simple.
They were there to ensure Qi Yuan's safety, not to assist him. The Extreme Life Cauldron was naturally up for grabs, but since they were going to compete, it would be better to let the younger generation do it.
An awkward expression flashed across Elder Gu's face.
Is the younger generation fighting?
Will this determine the ownership of the Extreme Life Cauldron?
Although this still seems hopeless, it is the best solution. After all, if the decision were really made by the combat power of the Mahayana stage, then the Qingyi Divine Palace would have no chance at all.
He didn't argue further, but turned to Meng Yirou and said in a low voice, "Holy Maiden! This cauldron... must not be allowed to be obtained by the Northern Desert Medicine Sect!"
"I know."
Meng Yirou gently tapped Bai Feier's hand, and the latter nodded in response.
Although she was only at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
But Bai Feier was confident. "Heh, isn't your Qingyi Divine Palace the one that loves to steal other people's things the most? I'd like to see if your Qingyi Divine Palace can snatch this from me!"
Qi Yuan also retorted with sarcasm without backing down.
"Then try it."
Meng Yirou said with an icy expression.
