Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

He Song could see, through the gaps in the giant cauldron, numerous unknown materials, which were now being burnt by the Earth Fire. Many materials had already melted into a liquid state.

However, quite a few materials had not yet melted and still retained their original appearance.

This scene seemed to have been going on for a long, long time.

On the square, a large amount of magma was constantly surging, never solidifying under the scorching heat of the Earth Fire.

This was what He Song saw as the source of the fiery glow.

The continuous outpour of Earth Fire from the ground and the several moving puppets next to the giant cauldron, along with the various unknown materials within, which were almost melted, indicated that this place must be extraordinary.

Upon entering the Array Skills and suddenly seeing this scene, completely different from ordinary cave mansions, and the giant cauldron being burnt by the Earth Fire at the center, it was no wonder that He Song gasped for air.

However, after taking in a heated breath, the first thought that crossed He Song’s mind was –

What was this giant cauldron, as well as the materials inside it – those being melted, not yet melted or already melted – used for?

Retracting his gaze, he looked around once more.

The expression on He Song’s face quickly turned curious.

However, he didn’t directly approach the location of the giant cauldron. Instead, after concealing his aura and figure, he began to wander about the valley.

He walked between the spirit field, the Medicine Garden, and the various palaces, carefully sensing everything around him.

He even went to the quiet chamber in the valley and, after ascertaining that there was no second person here, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he quickly extended his Divine Sense, sensing the entire area covered by the Array Skills bit by bit.

Soon, He Song had completely figured out where he was.

This place was a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

The Golden Elixir spirit rice within the spirit field, the precious spirit medicine found in the Medicine Garden, and various items within the many palaces all indicated that this place was the dwelling of a Golden Elixir Master.

Moreover, it seemed that someone had lived here earlier. However, for some reason, the owner of this place had gone missing.

Based on the dust fallen in the various palaces, it had probably been vacant for at least ten years.

It had been such a long time since anyone had returned to this place.

No wonder He Song had never seen anyone return after comprehending the Array Skills for ten years outside.

Upon realizing this, He Song sighed slightly about his previous conjecture.

Before, He Song had thought that the owner of this place had most likely perished.

Otherwise, they would not have possibly been absent from this place for ten years.

But to his surprise-

The truth was something that He Song had initially considered but deemed impossible.

This place had an owner.

But its owner had been absent for over ten years, which was why He Song had never seen any cultivators come and go during the entire decade spent comprehending the Array Skills outside.

After reaching this conclusion, He Song’s heart was suddenly stirred, and even his movements became hastier.

Since this place had an owner and they hadn’t returned for over ten years –

It meant that the owner might return to this place at any time.

Taking advantage of the owner’s absence, He Song could naturally try to seize the benefits as quickly as possible.

However, if the owner were to return, He Song might have to retreat to avoid a conflict.

As a result, He Song’s harvest would be greatly reduced, and he might end up with nothing other than a Golden Elixir Concealment Array.

He had already entered.

He had seen the treasures.

How could He Song be willing to leave empty-handed?

Therefore-

Upon realizing that someone could return to this place at any moment, He Song began his looting spree without a second thought.

Before this, when He Song had extended his divine sense to search the entire valley, he had sensed that many things had been left behind by the owner of this place in the cave mansion.

There was a spirit field full of Golden Elixir Spirit Rice, as well as a Medicine Garden that thrived.

A medicine garden planted with a large number of precious spirit medicines, many of which He Song couldn’t even recognize.

Buried beneath the ground were the array disc and array flags that propped up the whole Golden Elixir Secret Array, along with a large number of spirit stones stored within.

A complete artifact refining room, capable of crafting low-grade spirit artifacts.

As well as the enormous cauldron at the very center with unknown materials inside, either melted or unmelted, and the several puppets beside the cauldron.

In He Song’s view, all these things were the opportunities he gained from entering this cave mansion.

With this thought in mind, He Song made a movement with his consciousness.

The puppets that had been controlling the Earth Fire to heat the massive cauldron were immediately wrapped in He Song’s mana, allowing him to forcefully extract the spirit stones within them.

After the puppets were paralyzed due to the lack of spirit stones, He Song stored them in his storage bag.

After putting away the puppets, He Song’s gaze quickly turned to the many spirit fields around him.

As for the spiritual field and herb garden, there was naturally nothing to say.

With a thought, a large amount of Golden Elixir spirit rice and numerous precious spirit medicines were immediately harvested by He Song and placed into his storage bag.

After all the crops in the spiritual field and herb garden had been harvested.

He Song made a movement with his consciousness.

A huge palace suddenly rose from the ground and was entirely stored by He Song into his storage bag.

This Refining Room was equipped with all the necessary facilities to craft lower-grade spirit artifacts.

For He Song.

Such a Refining Room did have its uses.

However, it wasn’t as significant as he had imagined.

After all, He Song had once found a Refining Room capable of crafting a middle-grade spirit artifact in Master Yin Yue’s cave mansion.

As an artifacts refining master, Master Yin Yue’s Refining Room was, of course, more precious than what ordinary cultivators used.

Under such circumstances, though He Song found the value of this Refining Room for crafting lower-grade spirit artifacts to be quite considerable, he didn’t take it too much to heart.

Instead, it was when He Song’s gaze fell on the enormous cauldron in the center of the valley.

His eyes flashed with a strong sense of curiosity.

This enormous cauldron.

And the unknown materials inside the cauldron.

Truly left He Song with some doubts and questions.

One might think it was for artifact crafting, but there was already a Refining Room right next to it for the production of lower-grade spirit artifacts. There was no need to draw Earth Fire to heat the cauldron; it could simply be refined in the Refining Room, right?

If you say it’s for elixir refinement, the materials in the cauldron, both melted and unmelted, are all spirit mines, not spirit medicines, which defy common logic.

If you say it’s for fun, the control of the puppets and the Earth Fire to heat the materials inside the cauldron still continue even after the owner has left, which would be highly unlikely.

But what exactly is the reason?

That a Golden Elixir Master would go to the extent of remodeling his cave mansion in such a manner, drawing forth Earth Fire to heat these materials day and night?

With a hint of doubt and confusion, He Song’s gaze swept over the massive cauldron and the materials inside.

Eventually, after pondering, He Song decided to directly store the entire cauldron in his storage bag.

Since he couldn’t understand it for now,

He would just wait until he was safe and then go through Master Yin Yue’s memories.

Master Yin Yue, a later stage Golden Elixir cultivator, an elder of the Sun Faction, backed by a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, and an artifacts refining master capable of crafting middle-grade spirit artifacts,

There should be some information related to this matter in his memories.

However, it’s unknown what expression the owner of this place will have when he returns to find the cauldron taken by He Song.

With this thought flashing through his mind.

He Song looked down below.

Down there.

The originally scorching Earth Fire, now without the cover of the massive cauldron, had become even more dazzling and its heat even more intense.

Unlike before.

The massive cauldron had now been taken away by He Song, and the several puppets beside the cauldron had also been stored in his storage bag.

At this moment, at the very center of the valley, only the surging Earth Fire continued unabated, still spreading vast amounts of light and heat to its surroundings without any interruption.

Seeing this, He Song, who had originally intended to directly take away the array disk and array flags of the Golden Elixir Secret Array and then leave the area, couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.

This Earth Fire.

Seemed to be somewhat extraordinary.
